I enjoyed the demo and still enjoy the game thus far but it doesn't feel like Shinobi outside of the very basic abilities. Building Armor/Execution damage, the Hollow Knight-style platforming, the Metroidvania-esque design despite still being split into stages, the power of the dash to the point where there's an entire type of enemy attack that ignores i-frames. It's one of those things where if this was a new IP from Lizardcube only I'd probably have picked it up eventually and enjoyed it more than I am now because I'm not thinking about how a proper mechanical sequel to Shinobi III came out on 3DS fourteen years ago (also made by westerners who loved the IP to boot) and it got ignored/poorly reviewed.
