Mark Of The Ninja is one of the greatest games I have ever played let alone one of the best stealth games out there. The game follows the story of a nameless Ninja on a journey to discover himself while protecting his clan against the tyrants who try to destroy it.

The game is seen from a 2d perspective allowing the player to have a full vision over his ennemies, the main goal of the game is to stay out of vision while sneaking out through secret passages on the level. Levels can be approached with full freedom for example you can sneak in undetected or you can leave no witnesses at all. Also, the game takes a huge emphasis on sound your steps can be seen visually and heard by the enemies so you must be extra careful with sound. On the whole mark of the ninja is a well-crafted game with an amazing atmosphere, perfected gameplay, and a dark story, if you’re into stealth games I hugely recommend it.
