Rise of the Ronin's PC Port: A PS5 Rehash?

Team NINJA's ambitious action RPG finally makes its PC debut a year after its initial release. While performance patches have been issued, there's been no word on DLC or additional content. So, what's in it for PC players who already experienced the PS5 version?

An Unoptimized Port, Lacking New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin offers no new content. The only notable addition is the ability to adjust graphics settings. However, reports indicate that optimization remains an issue, mirroring the PS5 launch experience. Players may need to extensively tweak settings to achieve a playable experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin on PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale; New Content Unlikely

Game8 awarded the original PS5 version an 80/100, praising its visuals, combat, and character creator. However, given the PC version's lack of new content, we recommend waiting for a sale unless you're craving a "samurai with guns" experience. Furthermore, given the silence from Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo regarding DLC, future content additions seem unlikely.
