Mainly I liked the new cast, Yakumo, Seori, Umi, even Tyran are all charming and I found their dynamics fun. Yakumo especially, he feels appropriate as the disciplined, mission focused protagonist of a Ninja Gaiden game, but he's just a bit more vulnerable when compared to Ryu, and him rising to the occasion despite the setbacks was satisfying to see in the end. Ryu himself is also pretty good here, he feels expressive and there's good respect paid to the history of the character. Kagachi was alright, bit of a letdown, Misaki was a big let down. Overall it feels like a better done version of DMC4 to me, Yakumo does get to be the hero of the story and by the end, it feels like he's earned his place in the finale.
