- Thanks to Playstation for a copy of Rise of the Ronin.
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 reign, 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.
As a masterless samurai - 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.
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.
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.

God damn. The overflow of content. I can’t keep up. Good work with all the stuff coming out.
team ninja really like the main protagonist getting shot and falling into the ocean for the opening scenes
That or a burning village
These loot chests are of legend as well XD a billion years old I tell ya
Game is awesome! More complex than is shown here, just takes a while to get there, im lovin it!
Same here. I nearly avoided it because of some reviews but I am so happy that I didn't. The game is excellent
Cowboy is a machine I honestly don't know you play so many games back to back even theradbrad don't do it props to you man for the dedication.
Your petulance is notified so it's stateful.
Originally bought this, but then seen your original review for DD2 and bought that too! Thanks for all of the content, CB!
game starts....."and this is where my vibing with the game started to decline" lol
Lmao!
Finally I found a walkthrough with Breaker as beggining. Thanks. Ninjutsu owned everything, Ninja Rules. Hands down.
The start screen looks like it was straight up ripped from Ghost of Tsushima
FF7 does the same thing. It's a just a classic image.
Ghost of Tsushima ripped off nioh. Who cares lol
Cry
@@thursdayaf22Ghost didn't rip off Nioh lol.
@@SteelFireOneShotGhost of Tsushima blows Rise of the Ronin out of the water.
People buggin this looks good to me
Agree I think this looks perfectly fine. And this is coming from an Xbox/pc gamer
I'm sorry to hear that
Yep agree I bought it but haven’t had chance to play it due to work it looks really good. People saying GoT is better, I have that game too and while it looks colourful it’s SP art style and doesn’t represent real life colours, RotR looks more realistic in terms of colour palate, graphically I don’t have an issue as it is twice as big a game as GoT at 100+ hours I’m hearing. Can’t wait to play it!
@@svenhollis-liftsmy dumbass was thinking game
Of thrones like when tf did they do a game of thrones game but no you meant ghost😫
@@kylejohnson3889 🤣🤣 yes I did mean Ghost of Tsushima
Glad you picked the hardest difficulty. Best way to play these games. Rise of Ronin is awesome! We need more feudal Japan games
i was trying to watch another guy play this at one point but had to drop it, they have played quite a few of these types of games(nioh 2 included) and they continuously played like they've never played a game in their entire life. It's nice that you're playing quite well.
You are the GO TO content creator. Ive watched many games - performed by you. Thanks !!
Team ninja really loves that main menu theme 😅
Was about to comment this rofl
Looks exactly like ghost of tsushima theme
Exactly like the FF7 start screen@@Daybr3ak1991
9:13 the bell sound is similar to the item add sound in sekiro
same theme, same concept, grappling hook, mechanics, combat everything feels like sekiro
You know Team Ninja has been putting out Feudal Japan themed games longer than FromSoft, right?
and also being compared to Sekiro isn't at all a bad thing overall great game with the best combat of any game I've ever played is the combat in this game better ? no is it even better than Nioh 2 ? no but it's still pretty damn good to me
The final blow dmg is like straight up just a normal hit on dmg. Even the bomb dmg. Throwing two barrels did maybe even like 10% of their health
I will say when I played on the just normal difficulty on the first boss dude throwing the barrels at him seemed like it did nothing really to damage him it was more efficient to dodge then strike after his combo or perfect parry all his attacks it’s like the game wants to be sekiro with out being sekiro and I found myself having a bad time blocking the bullets outside of the boss found it easier to parry his pistol 😂😂😂😂then the long charge of the dudes that had rifles. I’m still early in the game but I don’t know what this game wants to be sekiro or ghost or any of the other games 😂
I'm loving this game but holy shit my Dark Souls Muscle Memory is fucking me up. I keep hitting the triggers to parry and attack.
Cowboy you have guided me through every single soulsborn and a few souls likes. Hearing your voice releases endorphins in my brain and the height of my life is watching your videos.
Yo that Parry into a buffed fire weapon is nuts! :D
Game: Hearing the mission to assassinate Mathew Perry.
Me: imagine if they made Mathew Perry a boss fight.
Game: Defeat Mathew Perry
Perry defeated himself
Too soon @@greybushgames1
I have never seen more fun game this.Nioh 2 surpassed the fun and options and story of Nioh 1.Then ROTR surpasses EVEN NIOH 2!
With the whole English speaking English back in that Era most English men learned Japanese or men in high power thought that wad a really nice touch
Agreed. Also, he must have missed that the two grunts spoke English that he fought as soon as he hopped aboard the ship.
Gonna be real this looks like such a step down for the studio. People are saying the combat gets better so i have hope it'll pick up but I'm def not nearly as excited as I was for wo long and nioh
I played this game and thought it was ok. While the gameplay is cool and the story taking place during the Meiji Restoration Era is pretty neat, I have noticed some problems.
1. The opportunity to customize a pair of twins felt like wasted potential as the second twin who didn't get chosen as the Main Character isn't playable and is more of a reoccurring boss. I felt that the Evil Bladed Twin could have some gameplay moments to see thing on his/her point of view.
2. The romance in this game never really made that much of an impact as they're just one off relationships before characters like Taka and Ryoma were killed off. Both of them didn't get one last kiss with the main character before dying.
3. The whole choosing sides between the Shogunate and the Imperial Army was a good concept, but it wasn't that engaging as that was just a series of side quests.
4. There are a lot of historical inaccuracies such as weaponry. There are some weapon options to use a medieval longsword or two handed sword even though swords like that are put on display. Plus a lot of enemies, mainly the Europeans tend to use shields in combat even though the use of shield was obsolete.
Ehh I’m excited for this still. I did the preorder so I get some extra combat styles like Haybusa and Nioh.
Aren’t there special moves you can add to change up your basic combo, gun moves and secondary weapon attacks, charged moves like the splitstaff..or do they not combo together ?
Once you have multiple stances the combos get pretty nice just like other team ninja games. However to my knowledge you can’t change martial skills on stances.
Easily one of the best content creators out there bar none!
I fear the Blade Twin thing is just another attempt at the Hideyoshi thing in Nioh 2. And if the protagonist is silent, it won't work, just like it failed last time.
In nioh 2 there wasn't even a blade twin
Like the monkey (always forget his name) just wanted to collect amrita to rise the ranks the only problem was he couldn't fight whatsoever
And there you come in a half human half yokai
Well I guess that just seemed handy
I mean you notice it at the later stages the monkey rises the ranks while you just are still the same puppet for every fight that pops up
So yes you shared the same name but what more was he than just a lumb of flesh you dragged everywhere protecting him from the slightest bit of combat that popped up
Besides the whole story purpose he was useless to the party
This game is 🔥🔥🔥
TBF, Ninja Gaiden had maybe the highest skill ceiling when it came to combat. How incredibly detailed and difficult those games were. It was DMC-level difficulty. Nioh had a completely different type of flow to the combat, borrowing a lot from the new souls genre at the time. And yes, it revamped their skill ceiling into something very good. But then it just went downhill from there...No idea why...More inclusion? Idk, but definitely miss the Nioh days for sure.
Memory's of playing Ninja Gaiden black. Fun times.
Team Ninja was obsessed with the parry gameplay Sekiro and GoT got, while Nioh 2 actually got the peak of gameplay for any video games. They can't even replicate the parry from Sekiro anyway since team ninja has a tendency to make the game too fast and smooth that the weight behind each parry is incomparable to Sekiro.
@@PhuongHoang-cj9jzGot?
I miss the Ninja Gaiden days, but yeah Nioh was the last game they made that I played and had any desire to play
At 41:07 Cowboy said NOOOOOOOO I know that feeling all to well lol then the insult of her saying you fought well you are worthy of the veiled edge after she ending it sh*t damnnnn lol Cowboy I know you not gone let her disrespect you like that lol... Round 2 the disrespect continues gotdamittttt after she deals Cowboy she says fear not I will be joining you soon enough maaaaan this game got me like wtf
I was waiting for you to put this one out ✋🤚
looks better then DD2.
Looks completely fine to me. A good 7/10 game. Not everything is a damn 10/10. Im going to play it after dd2 and maybe by then some patches and updates will have been added
agreed, even a 7/10 game is solid enough for me to play it
I’m getting asap. However had to get DD2 first. I also need rebirth and alone in the dark! Jeez. Good problem to have
You know how the Internet culture is lol If it ain't 11/10 and the greatest game ever created, then it's -1/10 and by far in absolute disaster that no one should ever buy 😂
I am stoked for this, and even though Cowboy isn't feeling it as much, doesn't mean I won't 😂
@@benchandler7007 I mean they wanted it to be more accessible imo this is part of that.
I pre-ordered the deluxe edition and I don't regret it a bit. Haters gonna hate no matter what
Games looks 🔥
Looks great.
Is that Ishikawa Yui (2B/Mikasa) i heard as the female protagonist? Damn, maybe I'll buy the game just for her.
Cowboy…think we’ll ever get a Nioh 3? Man it depresses me knowing there’s currently no plan for it. I hope Wo Kong gives me that Nioh vibe when it comes out.
Seems cool gamplay despite the concern about the graphics dated issue!? I have to tested, so far over the recent games nothing beat Ghost of Tsushima & Nioh 2, still both the extreme fun experience!
When I watch this, it makes me miss Way of the Samurai.
The game looks good but I might have a few combat ideas
L1 should be block and parry not L1 block and triangle parry
Triangle should be a heavy attack to form combos with
And my final thought is they should have implemented nioh stances (can't help it I really love the stance system)
I feel that would have made a satisfying combat with nioh and sekiro influences
Now I feel they took wo long influences with the material arts but I always felt that the material arts were a step down from the nioh stances
Exactly. THey could have made this game Ghost of Nioh with the open world but they choose to make it super easy to get more people to buy the game. IN doing that, they forgot about the people who got them where they are.
Im seriously considering this as a purchase, it’s between this one and Dragons Dogma but the save system and mts of DD is putting me right off that one. This looks promising but I want to get to the open world play before making a decision. Thank you for showcasing this.
im not a fan of the Japanese voiceover just because I miss some of the action while reading the English subtitles! I do understand the point though, if you speak Japanese it must be horrible to hear it the anglicised version.
So is there actually any reason to customize both characters because if the blade twin doesn't comeback later for you to go between them or even if they do but you'll be 1 character for most of the game then it's just redundant to customize both and a complete design oversight
The other blade twin does comeback later in the game.
Did anyone else spot the nod to Sekiro and Ghost of T during the samurai fight in the cinematic intro?
I always loved your videos. Do you just capture your gameplay on an elgato and then edit and voice record over using editing software. Sorry I am new to trying to capture content and wanted to see how you guys are able to do this so smoothly.
I use to stream. Yes. That's how you do it.
I am surprised at how badly CB struggled at this early part of the game.
0:40 bro I fucking belly laughed, thanks
I want to watch Dragons dogma2 but at the same time i dont want to get spoiled so here i am.
@FightinCowboy Is it the Katana engine issues with the game looking similar to previous Koei titles? And also the performance issues similar to the problems that wo long and wild hearts had? Or like Nioh2 peaked out the limitations their titles can have?
Is it just me or are the transitions to and from one cutscene to the next really abrupt. Like one second he gets shot and falls from a ship, next he's at the grave? Next, he wakes up instantly to an attack at his village without any forwarning sounds, screams, cutscene anything? Feels really jarring and kind of throwing off the pacing. It almost feels like there were cutscenes that were supposed to play between them all to show how one thing led to the next, but they got cut or bugged out, or Cowboy just skipped them (I know that's not what happened, but that's how it feels). It's just too quick and sudden and like wtf?
I know this is a necropost, but I actually came to watch this video just now to make sure I hadn't accidentally skipped a cutscene. And who the hell is the "they" they keep talking about at the end? Is that a way to avoid using him or her for the twin? Because that's terrible writing if it is.
You have to get further in the game. The combos come in due time
Sekiro lite
Glad I saw your review a few days ago along with a few others and cancelled my preorder for this. Can’t believe I was going to put DD2 on the back burner for this game. Despite having played over 500 hours in DD1 back when it first came out on Xbox 360 and loving it. Stupid.
I do not have a ps5 so I will pretend I am playing this by watching 😅
Combat doesn't look too bad hopefully we can remap the controls like wolong to relocate the deflect to the l1 button and attack to r1 out of all the games I play I just think it feels yhe best
Is the demon guy voice actor the voice actor of Father Owl in Sekiro? They talk very similarly
Damn Cowboy do you even sleep? More power to you.
The camera is weird when you auto lock
This game is much better than he gave it credit for. I almost didn’t play it because of his review as I real respect his opinions. I’m glad I didn’t listen this time.
Ive been looking for info does anything change if you choose the other main character havent found info on it???
I really wanna play but now I’m not sure if I should purchase on launch
I thought you were skipping this title. You said graphics were ps4 quality? Is it better? Pls give me good news i want this game.
This game is interesting 🎉❤
The way everyone was talking shit about the game this looks way better than the way everyone is talking lol
Anybody have any counter strike tips I'm still having trouble with that mechanic in the game and is there a way to increase your stamina meter throughout the game because that would be tremendously helpful
A lil mid compared to previous TN titles but I like it 👍🏾
is the Blue Demon Japanese VA voiced Sekiro's Owl as well?
Game is fucking lit 🔥
Ghost of Tsushima, at home😜
Rip matt perry.
This game looks good, maybe some balance patch qnd extra polishing gonna make this game goty
What are the best abilities to get early in the game?
blue demon sounds like the same VA as The Owl from sekiro
Matthew Parry
Nice video
i hope it is nor too hard i would like to try it
Combat seems kind of boring, at least we have dragons dogma!
Anyone who has played this, would you say it's worth getting?
I have been playing this game since launch and now in 170hrs. If you are willing to invest in the combat then it is totally worth.
Ep. 1 The Battle of Chandler. 😂
Hey, what components does your pc use, if you don't mind me asking?
13900 and 4090
Yoooo, you really got to watch your stamina gauge. You let it deplete way too much and you're too aggressive. Slow your pace allittle bit.
How are you so fast cowboy??!!
why is there a glowing bar under the weapon ?.
That is a build up of blood that you press R1 between hits to get rid off and it means better and longer combo's
Matthew Perry really... I miss him
Lol I was thinking the same. Matt Perry from friends
On the off chance anyone is curious Matthew Perry in this game is based off of a real person Admiral Matthew Perry who was sent by the President of the USA to open up Japan's borders by any means necessary to get that coveted untapped trade market.
To summarize and put it crudely the Japanese people got bent over and f*cked up the butt with no lube and there wasn't anything they could do about it due to the at the time massive technological disparity between the two countries.
I'm disappointed with the rise of ronin. The graphics looking along the lines of a 360/ps3 game would be ok if the gameplay compensated for it. It's a big setback for team ninja. I'm just going to play Dragons Dogma 2 and wait for a sale on ronin.
Man they are really bleeding this gameplay dry
PS5 is finally getting games
Graphics looks a little dated.
It looks like nioh 2 pretty much but worse because its captured from a ps5 not a pc if that makes sense
@@gaminginhdmax3854no that don’t make sense . just because it’s on ps5 doesn’t mean anything
@velocityaimer8204 pc games have all graphical options unlocked and resolutions upscaled or original. Consoles have weaker resolutions upscaled to be 4k and not all graphic options are available or are locked to a lower spec so it maintains its fps. So games will always look better on pc then consoles
@@gaminginhdmax3854 I see
@@gaminginhdmax3854Not „always“ if a game reaches 4K 60fps on console already then there is no „better“ on pc for human eyes to even recognize
3:18. That was it? Did she even hit them? There was no impact to the strikes. Bad sign when the game doesn't even have basic impacts sounding and looking right. Come on team ninja. Did the Nioh team just die off after they made those games?
Blue Demon sounds like Owl?
The lack of enthusiasm is palpable. That’s really to bad. I was going this would be a Sekiro/Nioh type game. Bummer
Didn't play nioh do the closet thing I cna say this game looks like is Code Vein and Lies of P mixed
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty > Rise of the Ronin?
R.I.P. Matthew Perry
hope this is a hard game
I don't think Team Ninja has a single action game that isn't hard.
Put on hard 3 difficulties it has
there is 3 difficulties
So combat here is much closer to Wo Long and dare I say even simpler than it?? I cannot understand the backwards combat development of the games following Nioh 2... Is this what they think the masses want? I haven't found a sweeter combat experience than Nioh 2 and I wouldn't have minded playing Wo Long with the same combat system. Oh well, Rise of the Ronin is disappointing at this point. I will follow your playthrough and hopefully things change.
Martial arts doing less damage is lifted wholly from Wo Long. Took them 2 DLCs to allegedly fix it in that game. Before then, skills were worse off than the basics. Absolutely pathetic to hear that they didn't learn their lessons properly for Rise of Ronin.
this gonna be on pc?
In like 3 or 4 years yeah lol
Wish it was pc release :/
Are there fist weapons?
No, but there are two bare handed combat styles you can get once you get to Edo in the story.
God this makes me so sad. This game looks great, I can feel Nioh and it's influence, but dammit why did they feel the need to dumb down the combat?!? They already added easy mode difficulty settings and an accessibility mode that attacks for you, why strip the game of what draws Team Ninja's core fan base back to all their games? I won't be buying the game until there is a PC release, hopefully when that time comes we have some great combat mods we can install.
