I’ve been a diehard fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for as long as I can remember. I’ve near-unconditionally loved them across comics, TV shows, action figures, and even awful holiday specials, but it’s the TMNT video games that have always held a special place in my heart.

Ever since Battle Nexus 2 on the PS2, I’ve been more than a little obsessed with the heroes in a half shell’s digital outings and made it my mission to play them all, from true classics like the 1989 arcade game, to ones I wish I could forget like Wrath of the Mutants. So you can imagine my surprise when I found out that one of the most interesting titles completely flew under my radar for more than a year - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate.
