Rise of the Ronin PC Port is No Different From PS5 Version
Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, reminiscent of soulslike games, has finally been released on PC a year after its initial launch. Despite performance patches released in the months following its debut, there has been no news about any DLC or additional content.
So, for those who have already experienced the game on its initial release last year, does the PC version offer anything new?
Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content
Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original release. However, it does allow players to adjust graphics settings to suit their preferences.
Moreover, reports indicate that the game's optimization remains an issue, similar to its initial PlayStation release. Players may need to spend time tweaking various settings before enjoying a smooth gameplay experience.
Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?
Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Expect New Content
At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version an impressive 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version doesn't differ from the original release, we recommend waiting for a sale if you're keen on playing a "samurai with guns" game.
It's also worth noting that there seems to be no new content on the horizon for Rise of the Ronin, as neither Team NINJA nor Koei Tecmo have announced any plans for additional DLC since the game's launch.
