The entire visuals, art and combat are a huge turn off to me. The game is trying way too hard to be "radical and cool", as if Shinobi was about this. Shinobi was about serious tone and dealing with enemies as fast as you can. Not about being cool looking and showing off.

The 2d ninja gaiden games looks waayyy better than this. Enemies have health bars? lol that's not shinobi. Im not even going try it unless they put out a demo. such a disappointment.

Lizardcube makes good games (i'm still playing SOR4) but man, that art direction with the Western comic-book-y look with the THICK outlines is just eughhhhhhhhh, fookin' hell, they look like a better version of that newsgrounds flash games of yore, why ?

NG ragebound looks much better IMO - and i'm not a fan of pixel art either

Ninja Gaiden Ragebound is more like that so I'm glad there going in a different direction with Shinobi. I played the Ragebound demo and that was quite good but grunt enemy combat felt kind of lackluster at times. This seems to have much deeper combat and more interesting enemies.
