As you can see, breaking into the top 15 is no easy task, as nearly every game listed there was part of the top 15 the previous week. We covered NINJA GAIDEN 4 at launch, stating:
NINJA GAIDEN 4 revives the decade-plus dormant franchise with a new developer leading it into an insanely fast, new direction. It’s a fun, occasionally beautiful title with an actually not terrible story, perhaps a first for the series. It is, of course, available Day One in Xbox Game Pass and well worth checking out if you’re looking to chop a few thousand bad guys in half.
