But that’s exactly what happened with Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, two games that complement each other so much that I’d genuinely recommend people play them at the same time. Both Shinobi and Ragebound are, from the most basic description, 2D action platformers that focus on fast-paced combat and tight platforming. Again, where Ragebound focuses on dashing through a level, Shinobi allows you to take your time and vibe with the gorgeous world and exploration. Likewise, if you’re playing Shinobi and feel the need for more action, you can jump into Ragebound and blitz through a level. Shinobi: Art of Vengeance and Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound are both available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
