Been playing Tenchu: Fatal Shadows since I bought it. Holy **** is it great. Hard, but (mostly) fair, and a fu
cktillion items to play around with (favorite so far is the poison onigiri, which makes whoever eats it puke
). Brutal and satisfying stealth kills, constant tension since you don't get checkpoints, and fun lateral mobility with a grappling hook that can latch on to most surfaces. The combat is touchy and unpredictable, but that's fine, since the main chars aren't supposed to be Kratos, and just rushing blindly into a group of enemies would historically be the supidest ****ing thing a ninja could do.
