Rise of the Ronin
Forge your fate in this epic new samurai action adventure - Rise of the Ronin on PS5. Embark on an epic journey across war-torn 19th-century Japan in this combat-focused open-world action RPG from Team NINJA, the veteran studio behind Nioh and NINJA GAIDEN.

Japan, 1863. After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate's oppressive rule, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation's borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil. Amidst the chaos of war, disease and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.

Features:
  • Shape a Dynamic Story: As a masterless warrior, a Ronin, your destiny is your own. See the story unfold in different ways depending on the choices you make and the characters you ally with along the way. Face critical mission decisions like whether to assassinate or protect key figures, and shape the course of history through a rich multi-choice system.
  • Engage in Deep Accessible Combat: From the veteran developers of Nioh and Ninja Gaiden Rise of the Ronin offers deeply engaging yet accessible combat, with layers of complexity suitable for any playstyle. Face your foes with a selection of close-quarters weaponry or engage from afar with authentic period firearms.
  • Explore a Historically-Inspired World: The Bakumatsu period heralds the end of the Shogunate as a new era begins and East and West collide. Experience this cultural revolution across an open world where you'll meet the key figures who'll shape the course of history, and the ordinary citizens seeking a guiding light in the darkness.
  • Immerse Yourself in 19th-Century Japan: Feel the impact of combat with haptic feedback through the DualSense™ wireless controller. Experience the click of your matchlock rifle's trigger and more through the DualSense wireless controller's adaptive triggers.

I have high hopes for this one.

Anyone else playing this? How are you finding it?

I am a bit disappointed, this game hasn't gripped me the same way Ghost Of Tsushima did. So many quests are just pure fluff. Go here and collect some berries. Take some photos. So boring. The combat is the only thing that saves it, but I'm struggling to stick with it.

The graphics are also really bugging me. It really does look very dated, like I'm playing a very early PS4 game. I don't need games to be visually stunning but this is annoying me as the story / quest structure doesn't make up for it.

I'm not sure I'll finish it.
