Aragami

It's great, will definitely scratch that "sneaky ninja creeping around slitting throats" itch. Has it's flaws but remains a good deal even at it's full $20 price tag. If you loved Tenchu Stealth Assassins back in the day, you will feel right at home here. There's even a level editor and a mountain of user made stages so there's plenty to do if the significantly sized campaign leaves you wanting more. Boss Fights with interesting mechanics to mix it up a bit. Though there are only 2 enemy types to deal with - sword or bow dude - it's no big deal here. You are made of tissue paper so if anyone looks at you funny for more than a second or two, you will insta die. Death is generally a mild punishment, back to the last checkpoint you go and all the baddies you killed before hitting said checkpoint stay dead. In multi player, the dead player is stuck in the survivor's camera and can look around; will respawn when the next checkpoint is reached. There is some nice co-op to be had coordinating multi strikes over coms and watching each others backs. There is a mild collectathon going on with hidden upgrade point scrolls scattered across the stages, spend them to unlock new abilities. Definite sense of strong progression as your new skills turn you into razer sharp tissue paper of death. Several new skins to unlock if you are inclined to put in the effort to git gud and start clearly campaign maps with challenges like Never Be Seen or Zero Kills. And yea, aside from the boss fights you COULD clear the game with zero kills but who are we kidding, you are here to slit throats. Even the story was pretty good, at least a 3 our of 5, maybe 4. BEWARE: I played this coop with a friend and towards the end of the game we started suffering constant game ending Server Disconnect issues. Much googling later we went with a solution that said using a VPN cures the problem somehow. We both installed Proton VPN and the problem went away. /shrug Despite that frustration I have no regrets, much fun was had.
