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

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, which blends elements of soulslike gameplay, has now made its way to PC after a year since its initial release. Despite receiving performance patches in the months following its launch, there has been no mention of any DLC or additional content.

So, what does the PC version bring to the table for those who have already experienced the game on PlayStation?

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 offer the advantage of customizable graphics settings, allowing players to tailor the visual experience to their preferences.

Despite this, the game's optimization remains a concern, mirroring the issues faced during its PlayStation launch. Players may need to spend time adjusting various settings to achieve a smooth gameplay 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 score of 80/100, praising its stunning visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version does not offer any new content, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're interested in diving into this unique "samurai with guns" experience.

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