Mark of the Ninja: Remastered

While [i]Klei[/i]'s first game's publisher was [i]EA[/i] [spoiler](dodged a bullet right there)[/spoiler], this one's was [i]Microsoft Studios[/i] [spoiler](dodged another one)[/spoiler]. That's all you need to know about '[i]Klei[/i] the indie wonder'narrative. An alright game - even if sporting a very questionable, very XBOX exclusive and very 2012 decision to force the player into passing a QTE check upon every kill. But I have to wonder... With how limited and preset-point-of-interaction-based all these environments and stealth arenas are... How come the 2014 [i]Thief[/i] remake got all this flac, and this got all that praise?.. Not defending the [i]Thief[/i] remake here, God forbid. Just, y'know... Drawing a question mark in the air, y'know?

Exceptionally satisfying 2D stealth. I played the pre-remaster original (so 40ish hours total), and the current version is superbly polished. Really rewards learning the mechanics and treating things like a puzzle to be worked out, not dependent on twitch reactions. Highly recommended.

Run great on ROG Ally

2/4 (4) Truly superb. (3) Very enjoyable. (2) Mixed experience, but has redeeming qualities. (1) Greatly disliked and/or flawed.

A very good game actually unique ninja mechanism, sound design is on point and visuals are amazing, the art style is cool , refreshing and gives off old school vibes , and the animations are crazy. I would love to see an anime with this type of animation. Takes good amount of skill, and you can have multiple play styles, a little aggresisve or completely stealth mode. Has a good story to keep you hooked and gives you a reason for all of your actions. Maxing out all achievements really takes skill. Definitely recommended.

Mark of the Ninja was originally developed by Klei Entertainment and published by Microsoft Studios in the year 2012. And six years later, Klei decided to add some spit and polish and a little bit of that fabulous Klei magic to it. And the result is just amazing. Klei is one of those precious few devs that has not yet disappointed me. In fact, I think every game they make is awesome. Griftlands is one of my favorite card battlers of all time and many of its RPG features put to shame many games the proudly wear the RPG label. Invisible Inc. is a phenomenal stealth game with great visuals, impeccable user experience and pretty decent story. And Mark of the Ninja Remastered is just another banger, one that is very close to a perfect 10 out 10 in my book, because the game simply nails everything it seeks to accomplish. Labeling the game is not easy though, because it’s everything, everywhere all at once. But not because it stiches together mechanics from different genres. The devs clearly had a very good idea of the experience they wanted to deliver and they simply borrowed everything they needed to put it together. And that’s very different from making a list of thing that you’ve s…
