Rise of the Ronin - Review
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
