Issue # 397 of Edge Magazine has been released, and it features reviews for games including Dragon's Dogma 2, Rise of the Ronin, and more.
The March Circana results are in and Dragons Dogma 2 is blowing away its predecessor’s.
Game has some issues tho and its not the GOTY everyone hoped.
Small enemy variety.
Very poor endgame. Its just Caelid with some bosses.
Fun classes like Assassin and Magic Knight gone
One weapon type per class.
Overall its a great game.
Koei Tecmo has revealed that Rise of the Ronin has gotten off to a solid start, with sales of the Team NINJA-developed PS5 already eclipsing the Nioh franchise.
Speaking in its latest financial report, the publisher revealed that “sales are surpassing the Nioh series” and noted that it has “high valuation by players.” No sales figures were divulged during the report, but clearly Rise of the Ronin is performing well just over a month since launch.
But I thought Rise Of The Ronin was a failure because it was an exclusive?
Gee wizz this is strange. It's outperforming the "Nioh" series in sales. I thought it was all doom and gloom on the sales front. I mean the Nioh series were considered a 'sales success' in the past. So how can this be with Ronin? /s

So yeh did ok I suppose!
Promising an adventure through 19th century Japan, Rise of the Ronin aims to blend historical intrigue with the sharp edges of action gaming. But does it strike just right like a well-honed katana, or does it stumble in its own ambitious footprints?
Surprised to see them so rough against Open Roads and Harold Halibut (5's each).
