Customer Ratings & Reviews

Rise of the Ronin takes you into the chaotic late Edo period with gripping action and stunning visuals. If you're a fan of Ghost of Tsushima, you’ll feel the similarities, especially in the combat, but this game brings something new to the table with its focus on the clash of old traditions and Western influences. Firearms, a more intricate story, and the historical backdrop set it apart, making it a fresh and exciting experience for fans of samurai games. Definitely worth picking up.

I gave it 5 stars because it is a solid game and someone will LOVE this. I am vested and pushing to finish it however, if you are looking for another Ghost of Tsusima, wait for the sequel. This has some open world elements, some Assassin's Creed elements, the landscape and visuals are great however there is just a little spark that is missing, i can't put a finger on it but it is still fun if you like the games mentioned above

I was a little hesitant to get this game due to what I have heard online, but I decided to take the chance anyway and I am glad that I did. At the very beginning of the game, it was a little hard to follow but once you get to the open world, the game is great. There is so many side missions to do throughout the land, many enemies to defeat, and new gear to upgrade your character. You can fully customize your character and the antagonist any way you want. There is also characters that you can romanticize by leveling up your bond with them. I love this free roam game and I am so happy that I took the chance to get it.

Great game play and graphics. Story line is engaging and keeps your interest.

Feels like this game never ends, which is a good thing, worth the $

Great game. Like because is a open world game ...and great story

One of the best historical Japanese games on the market! Absolutely amazing! Great graphics, amazing soundtrack, different enemy types, and a different game play. Truly worth every penny and moment!

In all honesty it’s really hard to love and appreciate an open world sandbox type samurai game after playing Ghost of Tsushima, I don’t mean to be critical towards Rise of the Ronin but Ghosts has 4-5 years on ROTR and does just about everything better. ROTR has a pretty cool concept with a nice story but if you are looking for a groundbreaking experience you won’t find it with this game it’s just a simple as that. It excels in what it’s good at but there is no reason why we should be getting exclusives like this in 2024

Great game! Its a nice mix of combat and exploration. If you're looking for a challenge with satisfying boss fights and a good story give Rise of the Ronin a try!

To be honest this game is above my expectations, I’ve immersed myself in this world and is so amazing that for me is the best game of the year !

The game is great, the story is well done, I give it 10/10.

Amazing Game, really surprised me how well done it is. Love the character customizations and all the different weapons and armor!

A pretty fun game overshadowed by Ghosts Of Tsushima. Worth playing now since the price drop.

TLDR: If you look past the graphics of this game and give it a go for a few hours, you'll be in for a fun experience with lots of replability. If you want to play a game solely for the graphics, then look elsewhere. The graphics aren't as horrible as other reviews say but this game compensates for that with a fluid and highly versatile combat system with lots of different weapon types and styles to fit the needs of every player. It'll be easy to pick up but difficult to master especially if you wanna get all fancy mixing up your playstyle. The game may not seem like much at the start but the more you play, the more the game offers. This definitely isn’t the first samurai style open world game but it for sure is pretty engaging with lots of random occurrences and side content to distract yourself with when you want a break from the main story. This game also has great boss replayability as you can either visit the dojo or use "Testament of the Soul" that unlocks later on in the game to go back to certain story bosses you've already fought against and fight them again as many times as you want along with any other missions throughout the game you may have taken a liking to.

Great game and mechanics and game flow challenging at time expanding game play

When Inforst tried the game I wasnt as intrigued and kept dying, but then when I buckled down and paid more attention it grabbed my attention and turned out to be lore than I originally thought. Great game!

I’m a fan of difficult games so I decided to play on Twilight difficult. Having a great time so far. The combat takes the parry system of wo long and adds in the stance and combat system of the Nioh games, along with a hint of Ninja Gaiden. Like most Team Ninja games, armor designs look great. Character customization is extensive and supports the use of character creation codes if you’re bad at making your own. I also like that you can switch between the protagonist and whatever ally is on hand, and co-op with friends is a good time. The graphics, while not cutting edge, look completely fine, not sure what all the fuss was about online. So far the games seems to run at a steady 60fps in performance mode and seems to even hit it on graphics mode uncapped. Overall, the game is a great action RPG with lots to explore.

Game has amazing graphics and storyline, interactive with other players and original role play scenarios

I love the Japanese themed games. The stories are immersive.

I recently picked up Rise of the Ronin for PS5 from Best Buy, drawn by its promise of an open-world samurai experience. The game delivers a rich narrative set in 19th-century Japan, allowing me to navigate political upheavals and form bonds that influence the story's direction. Combat is a standout feature—engaging and rewarding, especially when mastering the timing of attacks and counters . However, I noticed some performance issues, with frame rate drops in certain modes . Additionally, while the world is expansive, some side quests felt repetitive, and the graphics didn't consistently meet the high standards set by other PS5 titles
