Just did Day 1 of NG3RE for the first time. I suppose it feels good enough but some of the changes are a little odd (healing and ninpo in particular) and the many setpieces/stealth moments date it so badly as a 7th gen game. I kept thinking about how similarly structured it is to the first stage of Revengeance (urban setting attacked, exploding trucks, QTE moments, mostly just normal soldiers and a couple big vehicles including one you break down the armor on the legs so you can sever them, rival introduction, cinematic limping segment). I know it came out first but it's still uncanny. Also the britbong in the mask kind of sucks in every way from design to voice to personality to boss fight; I hope he's less lame later on.

>2023 had Hi-Fi Rush, Gravity Circuit, and En Garde
>2024 had Kunitsu-Gami, Magenta Horizon, and Shadow of the Ninja Reborn
>2025 has new 2D & 3D NGs (Ragebound is a clear winner, 4 is up in the air still), a version of NG2 that while still not Vanilla is "Sigma 2 but not shit", Captain Blood, and Absolum
>The future has more pretty fun-looking games as well, mostly from indies but there's a chance Romeo Is A Dead Man or the new Onimusha deliver
Feels good man
