The newly released PC version of the Ninja Gaiden Master Collection is being heavily criticised for a lack of basic PC settings.

The game's Steam page is steadily gathering negative reviews while gaming publications have also been calling out its limitations, with Kotaku's Luke Plunkett naming it "one of the worst [PC ports] I have ever seen".

The problems stem from three main issues regarding full-screen, resolution and control options.

The game launches in a window every time, and players have to manually switch to full-screen by maximising the window.

There are no in-game resolution settings, either. Players have to go to the game in their Steam library, open its Properties menu and choose one of three resolutions (720p, 1080p or 4K) in a text field.

The game also has no support for 1440p, nor does it have any graphics quality settings of any type. Instead, the game's Steam page suggests players lower the resolution to "reduce the processing load".

Finally, there are no options to play using a mouse and keyboard, meaning players who don't have a controller can't play the game at all.

Incredibly lazy port.

I definitely won't be picking this up on PC but, depending on console reviews I may pick it up for PS5 or Xbox

Of course it's a mess. I expected that. I think I would rather just play the Xbox versions via BC.

Will they never learn?

A lot of KOEI TECMO's PC ports are just pure low-effort garbage. It's a damn shame.

hopefully the community can do some modding to fix this.
