Rise of the Ronin PC Port is No Different From PS5 Version

Team NINJA's latest ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, has now made its way to PC after a year-long wait. Despite receiving performance patches post-launch, there has been no mention of additional content like DLCs.

So, what does the PC version bring to the table for those who've already experienced the game on its initial release?

Unoptimized and Problematic PC Port With No New Content

Unfortunately, the PC port of Rise of the Ronin does not include any new content beyond what was available in the original version. Players can, however, adjust the game’s graphics settings to suit their preferences.

However, the PC version faces similar optimization issues as the PlayStation release. Players may need to adjust various settings before achieving smooth gameplay.

Is Rise of the Ronin PC Worth It?

Wait for a Sale, But Don’t Cross Your Fingers For New Content

At Game8, we gave the PlayStation 5 version of Rise of the Ronin an 80/100, praising its breathtaking visuals, intricate combat system, and robust character creator. However, since the PC version mirrors the original release without enhancements, we suggest waiting for a sale if you're interested in exploring a "samurai with guns" gameplay experience.

It's also worth noting that there's no indication from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo about future DLC, suggesting that no new content will be added to Rise of the Ronin.
