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. While post-launch performance patches have addressed some issues, 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, Lacking New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin offers no new content beyond its original PS5 release. While adjustable graphics settings provide some customization, reports suggest optimization remains an issue, mirroring the PS5 launch experience. Players may need to extensively tweak settings to achieve a smooth gameplay experience.

Is the Rise of the Ronin PC Version Worth It?

Wait for a Sale: No New Content on the Horizon

Our PlayStation 5 review awarded Rise of the Ronin an 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat, and robust 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.
