Rise of the Ronin - Review

by Hiddenx, 10:13

PC Gamer reviewed Rise of the Ronin:

Rise of the Ronin review

A year after its console launch, Team Ninja’s latest stumbles onto PC.

Rise of the Ronin on PC has kept me guessing for all the wrong reasons. Don’t get me wrong, I love a rambling systems-heavy open-world action RPG romp as much as the next guy. I’m fond of being led on countless wild goose chases across fantastical lands with ambiguous historical grounding. And I’m partial to layered combat systems, brutal melee combinations, and enemies who scale in difficulty as I become increasingly adept at waving a pretend wooden stick around while clicking my real-life mouse at the exact right moment. Lest I cop one in the mouth myself, of course.

[...]

Another fumbled PC port blighted by poor optimisation and unpredictable performance issues.

Score: 49/100

Rise of the Ronin PC Interview – Team Ninja's Fumihiko Yasuda and Koei Tecmo's Yosuke Hayashi on the Steam Release, PC Gaming in Japan, & More

RPG Site: Tell us a little bit about yourself and what you do at Koei Tecmo.

Yosuke Hayashi: I'm the producer of Rise of the Ronin, Yosuke Hayashi.

Fumihiko Yasuda: I'm the development producer and director, Fumihiko Yasuda of Team Ninja.

RPG Site: Rise of the Ronin debuted on PS5 last year and will be releasing on Steam in the coming weeks. What learnings from the PS5 release have helped make the game better for those who buy it today?

Fumihiko Yasuda: We progressed through development by incorporating the user feedback and our own development experience from the PS5 version. While the game content has not changed significantly for the PC version, it has been designed to allow a wider range of players to enjoy it across various PC environments.

Yosuke Hayashi: Koei Tecmo has been focusing on PC versions in recent years, and we worked on this title with the same commitment. We hope you and everyone will enjoy it on their own PCs.
