I love how well Team Ninja is doing last several years. From new IPs to Stranger in Paradise, it was great and we are getting a new Ninja Gaiden and got a remake. Team Ninja is fully back and better than ever tbh. With Platinum games (tho yes, they are making NG4) having questions around them with the mass exodus and Itsuno leaving Capcom leaving DMC6's future in question. It's nice to know one Japan action game studio is thriving. I hope NG4 turns out amazing. I am so looking forward to it—rumors of Clovers partnering with Capcom to remake DMC1 and I'm all for that. Souls clones are becoming less common, and action games are returning with Stellar Blade out last year. As mentioned Ninja Gaiden games. Phantom Blade Zero. Lost Soul Aside. Tides of Annihilation. More just straight-up action games. Welcome site for me.

Agreed with everything you said but ... Stranger of Paradise, pfft, the game was so weak, like objectively it is a poor game on its own but comparing to something like Nioh 2, it's absolutely a joke. 

SoP is a great game. It's not like Nioh or any of that. Combat is wonderful and a legit ARPG, unlike FF16. The writing is indeed goofy and meme-worthy but the gameplay is fantastic. It's just not a technical showpiece.
