Introduction to ‘Rise of the Ronin’
Just when we thought that the age of powerful gaming PCs had arrived, we are met with a familiar foe: a mediocre PC port. This time, it’s the much-anticipated ‘Rise of the Ronin,’ which has made its debut on Steam a year after the PlayStation 5 launch. Spoiler alert: it hasn’t gone well.
Performance Troubles: A Mixed Blessing
As players dive into the experience, they’re met with a plethora of performance issues. From stuttering frames to frustrating input delays, the consensus is clear: the game struggles to run smoothly, even on high-end setups. Presenting a ‘mixed’ rating on Steam, only 44% of users are giving thumbs up. A reviewer from our team said it perfectly: “One minute it’s smooth on the high setting, next it’s struggling on low.” Talk about a rollercoaster!
Community Feedback: Are We Used to This?
The subreddit dedicated to ‘Rise of the Ronin’ shows a mixed crowd. Some players swear it’s fine, while many others echo discontent regarding performance hiccups. One Redditor noted, “You get used to it fast,” and that phrase should send shivers down our collective spines. The fact is, we’ve become accustomed to subpar ports—remember the fiasco with ‘Monster Hunter: Wilds’? As players, we’re left asking: how did we settle for such mediocrity? Making these games is undoubtedly tough, but we deserve better.
