Rise of the Ronin PC Port is No Different From PS5 Version

After a year of anticipation, Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has finally made its way to PC. However, aside from routine performance patches in the months following its initial release, the game has not received any new DLC or content updates.

So, what can players expect from the PC version, especially if they've already experienced the game on PlayStation?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Disappointingly, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin does not include any additional content beyond what was available in the original release. The sole advantage for PC players is the ability to adjust graphics settings to suit individual preferences.

Moreover, reports indicate that the PC port remains unoptimized, echoing the challenges faced during its PlayStation launch. Players may need to spend time tweaking various settings before achieving a satisfactory gaming experience.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Cross Your Fingers For New Content

At Game8, we gave the original PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an impressive 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version mirrors the original release without enhancements, we suggest holding off until a sale if you're eager to experience this "samurai with guns" adventure.

It's also worth noting that there have been no announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo regarding future DLC or new content for Rise of the Ronin, suggesting that what you see now is what you get.
