ARAGAMI SWITCH ONLINE PS4

This could add a little replay value for anyone who enjoys hunting down a perfect score.Īs Aragami progresses, the chapters get longer and longer with seemingly no additional checkpoints to supplement the scale. At the end of each chapter, you’re graded on things like completion time, enemies killed, scrolls found, and bodies discovered. Throughout the stages, you’ll also find hidden scrolls which can be spent to unlock additional moves and abilities. Either that or you’ll sit there frustrated as an enemy repeatedly gets caught on environmental geometry until you eventually just give up and rush him before he can fill up his suspicion meter (a ninja sprinting at you is only worthy of investigation once you’ve stood there staring for a little while). Within the first couple stages you’ll master the art of making a noise, waiting for the enemy to walk to where the noise was, and then walking past or killing them while they face a wall. Dotting the environment are your typical dumb enemies with AI straight out of the very first Splinter Cell. Inversely, going into direct light will drain your abilities. The hook here is your ability to teleport from shadow to shadow, with this ability only charging while you remain in darkness. As things progress, you’ll be given additional objectives to accomplish before you can clear the stage. Initially your goal will simply be to make it to the other side. Each chapter presents a maze-like environment for you to navigate.

But that initial inclination may have been more foreshadowing than I could have realized.Īragami sees you taking on the role of an otherworldly ninja, summoned by a mysterious woman to stab dudes.

I was almost surprised to see that Aragami was only a few years old, having released on PS4 in 2016. So strong in fact was that wave of nostalgia, that I questioned weather Aragami was in fact some Xbox 360 game that had managed to sneak past me. When I first saw Aragami I was transported right back to 2006. Big names like Splinter Cell and Assassin’s Creed joined the likes of classics such as Metal Gear Solid in a stealth renaissance of sorts. Still, its shadow based gameplay mechanics are good, and I'd like to see a more fully developed sequel or some other work from the developers.At the beginning of the seventh generation of consoles, stealth games were all the rage. As a package, Aragami: Nightfall Edition is a decent, somewhat short stealth game that's held back by bad AI and a general lack of polish.

The Nightfall dlc is perhaps a bit less compelling than the main game, although there is still some fun to be had despite the more limited set of powers and less involving story.

Aragami gets easier as it goes on, as it doesn't have much to throw at you to combat all the upgrades you get. Some power combinations get you easy kills but feel a little cheap, and I felt really overpowered by the end. Aragami lacks polish in a lot of places, which is probably due to its low budget - performance isn't great, there isn't much enemy variety in terms of design or function, and the draw distance on the shadows which you teleport to is noticeably limited. Gameplay is satisfying for the most part, but the level design is a little uninspired and the enemy AI is quite poor - I could run straight past tons of enemies without them being able to hit me, and I was able to skip a big chunk of a level I was struggling with in the dlc just by running through it.

You're given a bunch of cool powers to enact this vengeance. In Aragami, you play as a being made of shadows seeking revenge for the woman that brought you to life.
