Aragami is a stealth game in which you play an undead assassin with the power to control the shadows. The darkness is your ally and the source of your strength, letting you teleport instantly to any other shadow, create new areas of darkness to stay invisible, materialize physical weapons and traps from thin air, or even summon a shadow dragon to decapitate your target.
Aragami is also available on PC.
Aragami is a superb stealth game with a gorgeous visual design and a protagonist that feels as lithe and graceful as you'd expect a ninja to be.
For those wanting a game where stealth is the focal point, and not a subclass you choose, Aragami is most definitely for you.
Aragami is a pleasant surprise. It shows some technical deficits and it is not bug-free. But the stealth action is cleverly designed and if you can’t wait for Styx: Shards of Darkness you’ll find an interesting alternative that will keep your hunger satisfied.
Although the occasional technical issue and odd mechanic put a damper on things, Aragami has its heart in the right place. It's strict adherence to stealth with no ifs, ands, or buts will turn some people off, but it'll speak to a lot of old-school fans who are sick of experiences that allow you to blast your way out of everything.
Aragami is a good stealth game, with a nice use of the shadow zones. The narration is good, the visuals too, but the game suffers some technical issues.
Quotation forthcoming.
A good game, like any good work of art, should make you wonder; it should give you a reason to care about what happens, just as it should give you reasons to enjoy what it asks you do. Aragami feels only half-invested in doing both of those things, so it does neither. By failing to follow through on its own best ideas, it leaves us with nothing but a shadow of the game that could have been.
