Rise of the Ronin

So far I'm enjoying it. I may update this review when I finish. My greatest criticism lies with the open world; it's a very boring affair. Open the map, many circles, pick circle, set waypoint, follow waypoint in compass. Collect roots and nuts and rocks. Kill some baddies. You get the picture here. You've played this game many times over, sometimes even better. If you can abide that, then the rest of the game has many high points: the setting is interesting, placing your character during the time period of the opening of Japan to the West. Combat is fun with many different weapons to choose from. You'll equip two main melee weapons and two subweapons which are generally long range with some exceptions. Traversal is also quite fun as in the cities you can travel most of the path up on the roofs. It can be a little frustrating determining what exactly your character will climb on sometimes, but you get a feel for it pretty quick. You also get a grappling hook, which can allow travel at certain predetermined points on the map or can be used in combat to throw enemies around. On the neutral side, it is a Team Ninja game so expect a lot of useless equipment to drop all the time. It can get overwhelming but you have many quick ways to dispose it. I've seen some reviews complain about performance, but I've had only a few times where the game has frozen on me. I'm posting my PC specs with this review so you can judge for yourself if my experience will be similar to yours.

硬是玩成了幕末暖暖，增加了很多搭配灵感

能劝一个劝一个，换地图死机，推荐玩盗版听说不死机。

this is a pretty solid game for what its worth. story is pretty entertaining but its not nothing to write home about. combat is pretty decent with the interchangeable styles and weapons! this game insures you don't miss a thing at all in a single playthrough as it rewards you for exploration. it does have a few performance issues in some areas but that's when its installed on a HDD which is not so bad. really loved the customization of your two characters which can be changed at any point in a playthrough and is easily accessible after the prologue. it can be pretty short if you arent doing anything but the story but the game fills in those in betweens with challenges side quest and more that can keep you engaged. the game is a solid 6.5/10

Rise of the Ronin is a beautiful game with a world that's genuinely enjoyable to explore. The environments are varied, the cities and countryside are full of interesting locations, and wandering off the main path often feels rewarding. The soundtrack is excellent and fits the atmosphere perfectly, making exploration even more enjoyable. The gameplay is also solid. Combat is fun, progression feels satisfying, and there is plenty to do throughout the world. My biggest criticism is the story and how it presents its historical setting. Even though I'm familiar with Japanese history, especially this period, I still found parts of it confusing, and some historical details didn't seem entirely accurate. If you know little or nothing about the Bakumatsu era, it can be difficult to keep track of the many factions and characters. The game introduces a huge cast but doesn't always do a good job explaining who everyone is or why they matter. As a result, many characters end up feeling underdeveloped and somewhat forgettable. Overall, despite its storytelling issues, I had a great time with Rise of the Ronin. If you enjoy exploring beautiful open worlds and engaging combat, it's definitely worth playing.

Great samurai game
