About Shinobi Life 2:
Shinobi’s Way is an excellent jigsaw puzzle created within the universe of “Chess Knights: Shinobi”. The game brings some interesting and unusual features in jigsaw puzzles of this price range such as feedback when fitting two pieces (even if outside the board) and the piece rotation option, which gives an extra layer of difficulty, but at the same time makes winning more rewarding. The “chess pieces mode” adds replayability to each stage, while increasing the difficulty considerably, at least until you get used to the new piece formats. I didn’t touch this game until 2021 because I thought it was dead at launch. My concerns were quashed when the devs revealed the total number of accounts made had surpassed 6 million. I have had no problem finding matches and the hub world is always packed full of player avatars. The thing that really sold me on this game was the character customization, it’s surprisingly good. And lastly, the combat is very simple, but this is countered by hundreds of different justu combinations. Only gripe would be the lack of maps; They all become repetitive very fast. I’m gonna be honest, I always wanted to write a long review about this game outlining the positives and negatives and what makes this game great and some hangups I have and other people have about it. But as of the last patch the game will not even open for me LOL. After a ton of research over the last week, support tickets with Bandaii and trying multiple fixes from Reddit, Bandaii and many other sources I now know this, if you are using Webroot Antivirus the game will just not work. Apparently this has been an issue for a very long time and I have no idea how my system was running this game with webroot before, but it is what it is. I am definitely not going to go out and buy a new anti-virus just to play this game especially when the main issue is easy anti-cheat conflicting with webroot (and there is a cheater in almost every game anyways so what is the point) Here’s to hoping that Bandaii will try and fix this issue even though that looks very very unlikely. So TL;DR: If you have Webroot Antivirus this game will not work as of right now.
