It’s a well-told story that packs in its share of drama and plot-twists, and you’ll find yourself caring for the titular Ninja hero who has unfortunately been inked with a set of tattoos that heightens his skills but will slowly drive him insane. You play a Ninja whose clan has just suffered a grievous attack by a private paramilitary force led by a nefarious yet sharply dressed dude with bad intentions. Skulking on a rooftop in a rain-drenched gothic city with guards patrolling below you has never looked or felt this good.īrilliantly animated cinematics bookend important story beats, and they’re all in high enough quality that you aren’t distracted by random pixilation or artifacting. Excellent background artwork, animations, and environmental effects all add to the experience.
The visuals are colourful when they need to be, but the developers also bathe the game world in beautiful shades of blacks and grays that truly befit a stealth game.

Klei wisely sticks to some of what it got right with Shank, namely its angular Genndy Tartakovsky-meets-Batman: The Animated Series art style, and its high production values. Would you believe that one of the best stealth games to come out in the past half-decade is a downloadable title? The good folks at Klei Entertainment (them from the Shank series) have tapped into the very essence of a genre that’s long been waylaid by the mainstream, and in doing so have given fans a soon to become cult classic in Mark of the Ninja.
