"In the end, Ninja Blade is only a mediocre game at best. There are elements here and there that stand out, but pretty much all of the positives are outweighed by the extreme overuse of QTEs. When the game actually lets you play, it can be pretty enjoyable, but the fun and flow is completely destroyed by the QTEs and accompanying cinematics that have you watching far more often than playing. Couple this with the lack of replay value and lack of other modes and you are left with a pretty darn shallow experience that is in no way worth $60. Most players will likely have had enough with the Xbox Live Marketplace demo for Ninja Blade, but if that doesn't quite satisfy rent it. I wouldn't recommend a purchase for anything more than $20, however."
The Outerhaven writes Fromsoftware has created some of the most played games in the world, but also a number of games that have been overlooked, such as these gems that we've taken a look at in this article.
Ninja Blade is From Software’s best ninja game of all time, including Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. At least it’s the best version of a specific type of ninja game.
Well aren't you cool? Taking a game that was pretty much universally acclaimed and then saying that one that received mediocre to bad reviews across the board is better... There's always one "hipster" out there with a contrarian opinion.

I don’t remember much of it but wasn’t it a QTE heavy game like Asura’s Wrath and GOW3?
It was like the Xbox Ninja Gaiden with an insane amount of QTEs. Not bad but not innovative.
FromSoftware is a game developer that has found popularity in the gaming industry thanks to their widely popular and best-selling series, Dark Souls. They may have gained notoriety from this series, but they have been around since 1986 with their first video game published in 1994 and have produced many popular games. Here are 5 games they have made that are not Dark Souls.
The Adventures of Cookie and Cream (Or Kuri Kuri Mix as is known in PAL territories) is actually a pretty good game, and gets damn hard in the latter stages.
I'd love to see FromSoft make King's Field 5, or maybe another Armoured Core. I love the Souls games, but I don't want to see it milked for all its worth.
Didn't they also make the 3D Dot Game Heroes (or something like that).
I actually enjoyed that a lot on PS3
They actually only handled publishing in Japan. It was developed by Silicon Studio.
I wanted to keep the entries to their own respective genres. Chromehounds and Armored Core are both mecha. I almost included it though.
...I'm saying I knew FromSoft had a hand in all of these games. I would know, I own/ed most of them.
Armored Core series producer left From Software.
My guess is the company shifted all focus to Souls series... :(
RIP Armored Core....
I would love to see them come out with a new IP in the mecha genre. Armored Core was cool, but I think they have expanded their skills to make a more unique game.
