So far, Rise of the Ronin feels like a lot of games we love | VGC

In its opening hours, Team Ninja’s Japan epic is a jack of all trades, but which of those it will master is yet to be seen.

Was really looking forward to this but the more I see the less interested I become. I can look past the last gen visuals and 3 gen old physics, but to hear that it really doesn't do anything particularly well on top of that I'd pretty damning. The overall tone just feels off as well. Sometimes it comes across as overly serious like GoT, and other times it looks goofy over the top (flying, WWE moves on enemies etc). Not a fan of guns either especially since they are just mainly a stun weapon? Seems as though this one has an identity crisis and nothing, other than a lack of other good releases, to elevate it.

I see it as a more modern take on the way of the samurai franchise with deeper combat so I'm in

MeatyUrologist80d ago

Wasn't way of the samurai more grounded though? I only played the first and it was many years ago, but I thought it was just fairly strict sword combat more like ghost of tsushima. I dont remember WWE wrestling moves, guns, giants, flying etc like Rise of the Ronin.

I started this yesterday, it's like Ghost of Tsushima but with a actually fun combat, I don't like the Assassin's Creed world design in both tbh

EnViiDisnuCCa8d ago

Ain't nothing like ghost of tsushima rise of the ronin is way different from ghost

H98d ago

Same open world design which is the biggest chunk of the game, the biggest difference are the combats which is great and the souls style interconnected dungeons

Elda8d ago

I just beat the game & it does remind me of Ghost Of Tsushima. It has some Ghost Of Tsushima influences, though Rise OF The Ronin is its own game.

I had a blast with it, AC style open-world with Nioh gameplay, and the combat was way easier than their past title so you can actually chill while playing it and not raging all over the open world.

I tried getting into this but it felt way too much like a souls game, it felt like fromsoftware made it, it would be nice if most devs knew they don't have to copy souls game for success, cause most of every game that copies them I rarely hear about those titles again and people I've talked to rarely know about em, but they know of darksouls, elden ring, can't beat the originals, not saying ronin a bad game I'm just not into souls like games I like for devs to be creative and copy less, it's so many ideas games could use nowadays

"I tried getting into this but it felt way too much like a souls game."

You can change the difficulty and make it more like a hack and slash. It doesn't need to be a stressful playthrough.

Good to see them continuing to support it, good game but definitely needed some love.
