The game automatically drops you at 4K, which causes a number of graphical oddities, most notably being that sword trails and similar particle effects vertex-explode during specific attacks. Set it in-game to 720p on deck, ASAP, to stop these, otherwise the results can be quite seizure inducing.
Game runs perfectly fine out of the box, but as mentioned you need to lower the resolution to not be flashbanged during finishers. For absolute best results, download the NM mod and, if you're looking for something closer to OG NG2, the Sigma 2 Black mod. https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaidenmastercollection/mods/236 https://www.nexusmods.com/ninjagaidenmastercollection/mods/386 Overall if you were looking to play NG2 Black, just play this instead.

runs very well without any tinkering.
Disable Anti-aliasing, Shadows, Depth of Field to prevent artifacting and freezing on Ryu's signature moves. Game might start in 4k too.
Big graphical artifacts during Izuna Drop or Ultimate Techniques
Massive performance loss during Izuna Drop or Ultimate Techniques
No idea what every other review is talking about, there's massive performance drops and huge graphical artifacting whenever you perform a finisher with an Izuna Drop or an Ultimate Technique, sometimes freezing the screen for seconds at a time.
If you've ever played any of these games properly, you would know that you're doing both of these things 20 times per encounter so this is quite unplayable, definitely shouldn't be verified.

As with my NG Sigma report, It's nowhere near as good as the 360 original, but they tried to save it.
No music
Ran perfect for the 5 minutes it took to decide the game's not for me
Please ignore my old report. Didn't realize I had to format my 2nd drive to ext4. After doing this I reinstalled NG2 and it works perfectly

Does not launch
Tried the latest proton (6.3-5), previous version(5.13-6), Experimental, and the latest custom gloriouseggroll (6.10-GE-1). When you click play it looks like it's about to load as the icon changes to "stop" but then the button changes back to the "play" prompt again.
