Excellent combat system
Beautiful and detailed environments
Poorly paced story
Rise of the Ronin is an open-world action RPG set in Bakumatsu-era Japan. Critics praise its engaging combat system, offering a variety of playstyles with both katanas and firearms. The game's rich open-world exploration and character relationships are also appreciated, providing depth to the overall experience. However, some critics feel the game suffers from open-world bloat, repetitive tasks, and poorly paced stories. Despite these drawbacks, it stands out as one of Team Ninja’s most ambitious projects, blending historical elements with action-packed gameplay.
