"I used to be mean-spirited as hell when I was younger, and I used to point and laugh at Naruto fans. I thought that the series was pure shonen garbage, just another enemy-of-the-week annoyance where the power of friendship won the day and non-permanent death removed any genuine emotional weight. Because of this, I held the series' fans in utter contempt while I went along my merry way watching edgier, more complex and mature anime. That all changed when my nephew got the first Xbox 360 Naruto game from Ubisoft, Naruto: Rise of a Ninja. I played through it and had a blast doing so, and through that game, I started to learn about the series' world and the characters that inhabited it. It's essentially Harry Potter, except replace "wizard" with "ninjas," add a lot more bodies dropping, and a dash of politics.
Soon, I was reading the manga alongside my nephew, week to week, fully engaged in a tale that was everything I thought it was, only far better than what little credit I originally gave it. Flash forward to 2016, and here I am having already played all of the Naruto games that have been released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and fully ready to review Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 on the PlayStation 4. It's the conclusion to the titular character's story arc, and it's being sent off with a package that befits one of the most legendary — and rightfully so — shonen series of all time."
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4, Soulcalibur VI, Blasphemous
All playable from tomorrow, May 3.
Blasphemous is a fantastic game. It has that Souls type storyline, very dark with a despair type atmosphere.
Another month and not much for me. Blasphemous ill try but no interest in the other 2.
Dont hate check my comment history.

It's been said that every time an anime game is released, the anime community has learned not to get their hopes high up. Because of how huge the anime industry has become over the past few decades, it attracts its fair share of developers and publishers who are looking to cash in on the hype. […]
