In this in-depth review of Rise of the Ronin, we dive into the expansive open-world action RPG developed by Team Ninja. Set in the Bakumatsu era of Japan, the game combines historical fiction, intense samurai combat, and meaningful player choices that shape the narrative. The review covers the game's story, where players control a Ronin caught between competing factions, and its dynamic combat system inspired by Team Ninja's previous titles like Nioh. While the open world and RPG elements offer immense depth, the game is not without flaws, including pacing issues, AI quirks, and a cluttered map. Despite these, Rise of the Ronin offers an engaging and ambitious experience that stands out in the samurai genre, earning a solid 8/10 score for its immersive world, challenging combat, and player-driven narrative.
