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 a year after its console launch. Despite post-release performance patches, there's been radio silence regarding DLC or additional content. So, what's in it for PC players who've already experienced the game?

An Unoptimized Port with No New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin mirrors its original release, lacking any new content. While adjustable graphics settings offer some customization, reports suggest optimization issues persist, echoing the PlayStation release. Players may need significant tweaking to achieve a smooth experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin on PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale; New Content Unlikely

Our PlayStation 5 review awarded Rise of the Ronin an 80/100, praising its visuals, combat, and character creator. However, given the PC version's identical content, we recommend waiting for a sale unless you're craving a samurai-with-guns adventure. Furthermore, with no announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo regarding DLC, future content additions seem unlikely.
