Rise of the Ronin's PC Port: A PS5 Rehash?

Team NINJA's ambitious action RPG finally makes its PC debut a year after its console release. While performance patches have been released, there's been no word on DLC or additional content. So, what's in it for PC players who've already experienced the game?

An Unoptimized Port, Lacking New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin offers no new content beyond the original release. The main advantage is adjustable graphics settings to suit your hardware. However, reports suggest optimization issues persist, mirroring 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: No New Content on the Horizon

Game8 awarded the PS5 version an 80/100, praising its visuals, combat, and character creator. However, the PC version's lack of new content means waiting for a sale is advisable, unless you're craving a samurai-with-guns experience and haven't played it before. Given the silence from Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo regarding DLC, further content seems unlikely.
