They Were WRONG About This Game - Rise of The Ronin Review After Platinum

I have been playing Rise of The Ronin non-Stop since it launched almost a month ago. I had a very good time with the game and am truly excited about the potential DLCs Team Ninja will release. This video sums up my thoughts about the game and my overall experience as a Nioh fan.

[@jankmedia1985]

Word of mouth will improve when it goes on sale. Lot of people wrote the game off for shallow reasons.

[@LaOrzeka]

I am Ghost of tsushima player, i got Rise of the Ronin on launch day, i Put the game on the hardest difficult ( wich i do play on Ghost of tsushima) i know you Get a hardest one by finishing the game ( wich i didnt finish yet ) anyways, i got BEAT down by the game that almost made me quit the game, i decided i needed to sleep and came back the next day after work, im not gonna lie, i spent an whole 2 hours in the dojo Just parrying until i understood a little bit to advance, days later, its the most amazing experience i ever had in years!

[@DistinctionDino]

I think the $70 price tag did a lot of that, there a certain expectations with a $70 price it screams AAA and while the game is fun it’s not worth $70 imo when we know it’ll go down to atleast $40 in 2 months -just looks at infinite wealth and persona 3-. Coupled with Ghost of Tsushima being advertised at the same time with the PC release it just looked like an uglier version of that.

[@goodhoonter9882]

​@@LaOrzeka I played on normal 1st playthrough it was still challenging but not too difficult,I'd recommend it

[@Eren-wj6uk]

@@DistinctionDino a price tag is completely irrelevant to how good a game is.

[@DistinctionDino]

@@Eren-wj6uk that’s not the discussion though, the point is the price of a game sets certain expectations and since games vary in price dramatically ie $30, $40, $60 ,$70 and of course prices in between but my games release at these tiers. A $70 puts certain expectations in peoples mind especially a Sony exclusive and Rise of Ronin just doesn’t look like a $70 game so people passed on it.

[@theSith333]

I'm happily glad I didn't sleep on this game.

[@apictureoffunction]

Same here. I didn't check into the reviews until after I bought it and played a bit, and was surprised how middling or negative a lot of them were. I bought this just based on having seen some gameplay and knowing it was a Team Ninja game, and I've been having a blast with it. It feels like a modern, open world Tenchu game, but with lots of really great combat in addition to fun stealth with great kill animations

[@Raikage_Raisil]

I have over 160 hours into the game. Needless to say, I love this game.

[@exzofexd6053]

Nahh fr im at 192 hours in 😂😂😂

[@Hb_mke93]

I'm tempted to buy it. Is it anything like Way of the Samurai?

[@Raikage_Raisil]

@@Hb_mke93 To me, Way of the Samurai is probably one of the best comparisons to this game. If you enjoyed Way of the Samurai, like I did, you would enjoy this. Remember in Way of the Samurai you could fight other players Ronins randomly walking the streets, I was shocked to see Rise implemented the same concept. Also, like way, you can straight kill or use blunt weapons to knock out combatants. Actually, the story is almost a 1 to 1 replica of Way of the Samurai 4 story. Foreigners entering Japan and some not openly receiving them. I enjoyed this games story, the combat is crazy fun, I’m obsessed with the character customization and graphics are not horrible like people try to make it seem. I’ve lived in the eras of PS2/PS3, this is far from that.

[@Hb_mke93]

@@Raikage_Raisil thanks might pick this over stellar blade then. And yeah I could care less about the graphics as long as the game is fun ))

[@Raikage_Raisil]

@@Hb_mke93 yeah man no problem. I don’t know too much about Stellar Blade, just seen bits and pieces of it so I definitely won’t knock it but I personally know Rise has been a very fun game to play. At least to me for sure. As a huge fan of Samurai/Ninja themed stuff, this definitely hits the mark for me.

[@nars4432]

This game is so fun to play i have actually nothing to do anymore but am still playing this game im just farming trinkets it feels so satisfying

I initially passed this game up because of the reviews. But man they did not give this game a fair shake. Its fantastic! My coworker fell in love with it and highly recommended it. Been playing ever since!

The way the graphics look make me feel like I’m reading a anime manga book if that makes sense. It’s dope as hell. I think it looks good with ray tracing on and still super smooth for me.

[@jojocasimir1118]

lol thought I was the same it felt like I was watching a anime or a Japanese tv show I like it

[@moronmountain6964]

What settings are you using for Ray tracing? I tried it and the fps tanks in combat too often

[@apictureoffunction]

​@@moronmountain6964there's zero reason to turn on the ray tracing in this game. It only applies to reflections and even then only some of the time, lots of bodies of water use SSR instead of RT, and there's very few shiny surfaces (like wooden floors) that actually use it. It isn't worth the hit to the FPS when this game is based so much on quick timing and reflexes. Performance mode is a must here.

[@moronmountain6964]

@@apictureoffunction thanks

[@seza_1905]

I completely agree with you! The bad guys kept me from playing the game. But when I decided to see for myself what the game is like, I fell in love with the combat system. It's like you said: very varied, fun and challenging. I finished the main mission on the easy level and am trying the midnight difficulty level. You definitely need practice for that. But it's endless fun. I'm not usually into the hard difficult games at all because I just want to have fun without any challenge. But Rise of the Ronin's combat system is just so brilliant that I enjoy playing on hard mode. Thanks for your review. ❤

[@Kamina-brah]

The game is amazing, and the ratings proved that you cant ultimately trust mainstream gaming “journalism” as they seem to only be capable of playing cinematic games these days. I‘ve played for 100+ hours now. More that FF7 for comparison.

[@dancooke8811]

Exactly! Too many damn KZbinrs!

[@unclesnax8462]

That’s why I don’t just go off reviews. If a developer usually pumps out great games like team ninja does, I’m going to give there game a try. No matter what anyone says, then if I don’t like it, next time I probably won’t try it.

[@RickSerenity]

Picked it up on your recommendation. It’s way more satisfying than people made it seem. I’m early so I am in the first 5 hours and like the fundamentals. I assume it’ll only get better as I go. It’s team ninja. Thanks for the honest review and all that sifu content.

[@notkmr]

I don't really care with graphic, as long as the game is good, fun and feel finished/refined (and also doesn't has bullshit feature like microtransaction, battle pass, etc.), I'll gladly buy it.

[@davidtsmith33]

I never played Nioh 1 and/or 2, nor Wo-Long and I'm enjoying Rise of the Ronin. I played Ghost of Tsushima which I loved and love Rise of the Ronin more. And the game looks great. I don't know what some are saying the graphics is sub-par.

[@kurejiakuma]

Nioh 2 the goat

[@AugmentImpulse]

I really wish the game had some Tachi’s like Nioh did. I really like the slightly more curved look. Also it would be cool if they had more blade looks with different hamon designs(the wavy clay patterns), possibly some damascus blades ect. Like for example the cursed blade has the SICKEST hamon lines but it’s the only one with a unique look to the blade. To be honest I was quite surprised by this because Nioh had a pretty wide variety of blade designs, my personal favorite was the tachi with the constant lighting effect.

[@Rin_Mk-II]

In my opinion you can't really tell how beautiful the game is until you actually are in it and can experience and understand the scale of the beauty.

[@nicolasgragert8581]

It’s going to be taking me two full playthroughs to get everything because I accidentally locked myself on acquiring bond levels with certain characters but for my first play through I went for the most part entirely anti-shogunate but knew what both sides wanted overall. Now on my second playthrough I went entirely pro-shogunate & this games creates an entirely separate few point on how the story is perceived to the player. I basically hit a trunks going back to the past arc to save everyone I wanted from dying but others were still unavoidable but this game is amazing regardless what critics may say. Hopefully, team ninja has some plans to do some dlc content!

[@lanevakarian4120]

[@zachmoore3997]

We need a blade twin dlc where we play as them in America and learn about what they went through or a later period after the story

[@iitvoii]

The difference between this game and Ghost of Tsushima is that GOT is good as a narrative driven AAA experience, but RoR is more fun as a game where you can get lost in the open world gameplay.

[@lolno8406]

GoT was open world too lol

[@mrgrimm1138]

This is one of my favorite games of 2024 I can’t put it down it’s super fun and that’s the best thing a game could be

[@Nobunaga-Ducky]

I keep playng this game over and over again. Even though it lacks a lot of things the combat, the styles are just sooo addictive. I wonder if there are some secrets in it. I saved ryoma so I wonder what else could you do.

[@rickypen]

This is exactly what I wanted to hear. I have been stuck graduating from med school and residency since the time the game came out so I haven't been able to play it yet. But people's rediculous comparison of games to other games is so stupid. Stop comparing every game with a sword in it, to skyrim. Or every open world game set in Japan to Ghosts. But Nioh 2 is my favorite non from soft soulslike. Wo long I liked, though less than Nioh and that was mostly because of the massive change to the RPG system and gear. Nioh 2 had it all. So of its open world Nioh...thats all I needed to hear!

[@RickSerenity]

20 hours game, I love the deliberate nature of the combat and how quickly one can travel to necessary quests. I’m really loving this game. You should try wanted dead with the new combat update is excellent. I think you’d like it.

[@poorfordtransitowner1627]

How you finding it

[@quintonmikell5677]

This game is definitely in my top 3 best games of all-time conversations!!! I think that it would be cool if they added an Ultimate Ronin Battle Dojo (with different floors within the dojo) where you have different trials (as you ascend) allowing players to receive powerful/unique content (such as a new class of rare weapons, armor, and accessories) as players complete different challenges (within the dojo)...this mode should be versatile enough to allow players to either play solo (against the gaming A.l. fighters) or against other players (via PvP). This would awesome!!! As an ultimate reward (for players who able to clear the dojo), they should be able to unlock & play a Team Nina created Chapter 4...this would take this already great game, to a whole new level!!!

[@Gatoholic4eva]

[@jiminykrickit]

I really enjoyed your thoughts on Ronin. This was an interesting and thoughtful review. Thanks for the great content. Subbed

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

The game definitely deserved more praise. It lies in a strange place between Assassin's Creed and Nioh. My only gripe is enemy/boss design and variety. Their movement patterns are so strange, so unnatural that it takes forever to get used to it.

[@Djisso]

I feel like most of the time, I find myself Reacting to the bosses’ moves as opposed to getting used to them. Soji Okita for example is so random while attacking compared to Gondo or Guezui which are more predictable

[@Fluffychoupikkos]

I am 45 hours in this game, I have done mostly main missions, a lot of bandit camps and quite a few bond - side missions and I have to say this game is pretty good but I highly doubt that is a masterpiece or even close for that matter. I really love how the game looks, it has an incredible art style, it's very well designed, especially the buildings and the landmarks or cities in general they are some of the best I have ever seen. The combat is super fluid, satisfying and really opens up a lot of possibilities when it comes to personal preference and customization. What I don't particularly like is that the game is pretty much bloated, it's massive, it's has an inexplicable amount of side characters to the point where some of the magic is being lost. While the things that you do in this game are superb, whether is combat, stealth, interactive with the world, gliding etc. I still think that they are not enough to remain interesting in a game that can easily take more than 60 hours and to finish and that inevitably makes the game quite repetitive in my opinion.

Persoanlly for me, games like this I like to take my time & go through everything I can on the map before focusing on the main missions. I'm playing through the story twice at this time. On first go around, I got my a$$ handed to me pretty good but as I progressed in the story I got better at taking down all the enemies. I think my main con of this game is that your character, even though you level up and get stronger, your still able to be taken down quite easily by low level random shytheads on the map because everyone has Hyper Armor & can just slash through your attacks un-fazed, THAT is a huge fail on this game. Other than that though, I love the game, it reminds me alot of another game called Tenchu that I played years ago...

[@esmolol4091]

At one point you are completely wrong and that is the difficulty. If people have the option to experience the whole game at easy difficulty, it's the perfect entry to learn ALL mechanics. If you then go into hard difficulty, you KNOW all the mechanics, but just have to practise just a little more. If you make only one gigahard difficulty, people will struggle all the time, especially at the beginning, like really hard. This turns off most people. At another point I also highly disagree, which is gear being "obsolete". This is wrong. If the gear doesn't matter at first, it's a good thing, because it puts the focus on the mechanics. If you then want to specialize into a certain playstyle, you can do it. Let's get real here, this was the biggest downside of nioh 1 and 2 where only meta gear builts made the game beatable. Rise of the ronin made the bad things from nioh go away. And I played nioh 2 for more than 1000 hours. I don't want to know how much time I WASTED in the inventory to create builds, only to find out, that only meta really works, full onmyo buffing at the beginning of every harder fight, which became idiotic very fast. The beauty of Rise of the Ronin is, that you can pick just one certain combat "stance", just ONE and become a god at it, no matter the foe and weapon they use, even if it is described as ineffective.

Regarding Sekiro and all of those From Software games really stop it, the west has closed games from Japan because they always despise the competitors, this never changes, the only exception is From Software but there is ko way Baldur's Gae won when FF XVI and Zelda were superior and you know what other game was funnier?

[@ocathail84]

and also i dont get it, 70us is expensive? am south american, if i can pay it, cmon guys!!!

[@Frost72p]

Everything cost $70 now just wait till sale (everything goes on sale eventually) I think most of the complaints come from genuine fans of Nioh 2. TN set such high expectations with that game and the 3 games TN made since haven't met it yet

[@ocathail84]

@@Frost72p exacto hermano, everything costs 70us. And honestly is not that much, is not cheap, but is not unpayable either. And as you say, eventualy they go on sale

How don't you feel the fps drops? It's very noticeable, although I've not had any on fight sequences. It's specially consistently bad in cutscenes.

[@jankmedia1985]

I don't notice them either. I alternate between playing it on a 120hz OLED, 1080p Plasma, and PS Portal. Never notice anything jarring with FPS.

[@bradydavis5791]

No. No one lied about this game. You liked it and that's all well and good. If you ask others who didn't, you'd find that their opinions differ for very good reasons. You don't have to like those reasons, but I also think its immature to call them lies.

[@mobilegamer4956]

Gear doesn't matter in any of the Souls games. I've see plenty of videos and playthroughs of players beating the game naked and at lvl 1. Also, is the fact that you could be geared up in the souls games and both enemies and bosses would still 1 hit kill you. I like games that don't require players to be too hung up on gear.

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

cause that's players who've already mastered the game with gear on lol. Souls games are still overall balanced around gear systems

[@shadowtactics1940]

For what this game offers. It’s better than something like “Battlefield 2042” with a $120 edition but broken on launch. But it does feel like a PS3 game (animations, frames, graphics) upscaled graphics patch to the ps4 then ported over to ps5. Nevertheless, better than what been releasing from AAA studios

[@Juicybignut00]

what? no it does not feel like a ps3 game lol

[@bryantoyat1064]

It's a lie.. even the the graphics.. it's like your playing ps3

[@liujing6111]

there is another very similar game outside which is Hogwarts Legacy. It has the same flaws like boring side quests, tedious story line and even worse battle system, and this game got 9 from ign. Its too ridiculous to me that media rate two similar games with different judgement and they are not even pretending to hide their preference and bias.

[@AsiaAziatics]

Game is a flop tbh. Still same issues of fps lag and LOD issues. Using the same game engine as DW9 and they still don’t have it correct at all. Playing in 4k dips to 24fps when there’s too much going on from weather effects to loading assets etc. Had 8 years and this was what they call “ambitious” seems more like a joke. The combat is fine, but the story is confusing and doesn’t allow you to exactly focus on just one of the linear paths and forces you to play both sides of the fence… that’s just downright awkward as you have fre-enemies strange. Open world has a good approach but poor execution. Forgot to mention as well there’s an AI algorithm that fixes the game itself. The enemies learn your attack pattern and hesitate at the right time so you end up committing mistakes in timing. Tried it in Dojo and Boss fights and all fights are all differently generated as I used a wide variety of different weapons for testing. Also if you guys play this with a pro controller you can literally mop the enemies since you can bind buttons transition techniques with no slow reflexes, and have literally constant ki from passive effects like flash attack and violent gail.

[@kevo300]

Its a huge letdown like Wo Long. They scrapped the great mission based level design for a mid ubisoft fetch quest type open world (ubisoft games you can coop the whole world like farcry). The coop is basically just grinding levels you beat instead of playing the story with friends.... there are literally 2 teammates with you yet you cant coop without beating the mission. The combat is okay...I mean it gets stale really quick unlike nioh. Dont get me started with the story... I need to have knowledge of Japanese history to know any of these people (Yakuza Ishin was similar).

[@kevo300]

There are pros to the game though, the different teammates you get are really fun to use like that huge monk guy that uses his fist looks hilarious using stealth and the glider lol. The stealth is pretty fun but nothing too intuitive but enough to use the majority of the game. The bond system is great and the list of bond characters is huge! Also the glider is very fun to use and horseback shooting is sick. But overall I think this game tried to be a open world narrative game but would of just worked as a linear mission based game like previous team ninja games.

[@BostonWells]

Wo long was such ass 😂😂 the main reason I didn’t pick this one up

[@Nobunaga-Ducky]

Story is a bit weird but not bad. Just choices got no meaning. But combat is insane. So many styles so many types of armor weapons to find its insane. For me this game will do until AC red will arrive
