All it took was one look at the pedigree of the devs behind Shadow of the Ninja Reborn for it to rocket up my wishlist for new games of 2024 - but then the trailer absolutely confirmed that this is one to watch for retro enthusiasts.

Xbox Game Pass might not be losing a lot of games at the end of January, but the most significant loss is a big one.
