Rise of the Ronin Poll

The latest game from Nioh studio Team Ninja, Rise of the Ronin is a PS5 exclusive, complete with Sony's backing. While it does continue the developer's run of creating challenging action RPGs, Ronin is set within a sprawling open world — which is a first for the team.

Critic reviews have been slightly mixed. In our own Rise of the Ronin PS5 review, we praised its satisfying combat system and historical setting, but bemoaned its dated open world design and surprisingly unimpressive visuals. "Rise of the Ronin isn't a bad game; it's something debatably worse: completely forgettable. With dated open world design and a monotonous narrative, the cracking combat of a Team Ninja title is left to try and pick up the pieces," we wrote, awarding the game a 6/10.
