Team Ninja's open world debut stumbles out the gate.
The latest update for Rise of the Ronin brings huge changes to the game by introducing new content, adjusting the gameplay, and fixing bugs.
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
Ain't nothing like ghost of tsushima rise of the ronin is way different from ghost
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
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.
Many of you who have already played Rise of the Ronin may have noticed some elements of our previous works such as Ninja Gaiden and Nioh from Team Ninja. Today we’re excited to share some of the behind-the-scenes development stories for the first time. Plus we share details on an upcoming game update.
not a good title FPS RUSSIA. should have gone with: "new content added'. ... or something like that
try : 'New and expanded content 5 new Ally Missions added. + Addition of dojo training partners"
CGMagazine had the opportunity to speak about the soundtrack of Rise of the Ronin, Starfield and more with composer Inon Zur.
Ok, lets see why they don't like it too much...
"A fascinating setting ends up misused, and from a purely narrative perspective, there’s little here that actually grabs attention. Characters feel like carboard cutouts that are just reading out lines
The writing is consistently mediocre at best
The issue is that the content that it does have on offer is very rarely engaging in any real way. From collecting cats to clearing enemy encampments to praying at shrines to gain skill points, the side activities you’ll be tackling in Rise of the Ronin’s open world on a recurring basis suffer from a devastating lack of originality and innovation
cookie-cutter open worlds try to offset their flaws with the sheer quality of their content
You’ll get a couple of lines of clunkily written and soullessly performed dialogue to set up a quest, and that’ll be pretty much it. The game very rarely makes the effort to make you actually care about what you’re doing. More often than not, the activities are there just because they have to be there to fill out a large map."
If these things are the reason to give a game a 6 why did Starfield a broken mess that made the colour beige look like a disco in comparison get a perfect 10 from gamingbolt? When one game suffers from the same flaws but at a industrial level and you give it a 10, that's not a consistent review system.
Well said, I used to love Bethesda, but Star Field was a sin of boring missions, dialogues, and worlds. A 6 is harsh.
Gaming bolt is 🤡 just like IGN
