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

Team NINJA's ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, finally makes its PC debut after a year-long wait. Despite post-launch performance patches, no DLC or additional content has been announced. So, what's in it for PC players who've already experienced the PS5 version?

An Unoptimized Port: No New Content to Speak Of

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin offers no new content beyond its original PS5 release. While adjustable graphics settings are a welcome addition, reports suggest optimization issues persist, mirroring the PS5 launch experience. Players should anticipate tweaking settings to achieve a smooth gameplay experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin on PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale: No New Content on the Horizon

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