- Team Ninja, the makers of Ninja Gaiden, have released Rise of the Ronin, a multi-layered action RPG that packs a good amount of souls-like action. While I haven’t reached the end of the road yet, I thought I would sit down and talk about it. So, with that, let’s begin!

It’s been super disheartening to see people dismiss Rise because they see samurai and immediately compare it to Ghost of Tsushima, lol. I’m enjoying this game a lot more than GoT to be honest, sucks that for some people graphics are the end-all be-all. The gameplay and customization are top notch in Rise.
I actually prefer the way rise looks. It actually looks like Japan.
Agree with you
Graphics are nice but gameplay and fun is always first for me. I'm to old for some original 3d polygon games because of migraines but besides that I don't care. It's shameful 8bit games can still wipe the floor with most modern games 😂
What the fuk are you talking about. The open world is so empty and pathetic. How can you play something so Sloppily made compared to red dead 2. Jesus Christ.
This is why people shouldn’t take reviews that seriously. They are all OPINIONS! You have to try for yourself
72hrs in. Main story complete. Going for 100% completion now. I actually enjoy putting the time in to do everything!!! Overall 10of10 game in general.
I think the only aspect I haven't seen mentioned yet is just how varied the missions are. There is no recycling of the missions, every single one is different with different characters and different landscapes and events. They are all so unique and well thought out and each one includes a different bond with a character to strengthen. There is so much variation and you can really tell how much writing and thought they put into each one its crazy. Great video! I was really disappointed with how everyone was treating this game, because I just finished it with about 40 hours and im gonna try the platinum too! Thank you for adding some positivity !
I know, right? Reviewers have been soooooo overly harsh with this game. I'm having so much fun playing it, and the story is actually interesting AF, especially bc it's set in the Bakumatsu. That means Isshin Shishi characters, Shinsengumi characters, historical figures mixed in with made up characters... I'm loving it! I mean....any Rurouni Kenshin fan is gonna be all over this game.
Reviewers think of it as one of the lesser team ninja games
I think of it is one of the best team ninja games
Opinions are just different, you know
Truly a master piece the story is pretty good and heard ppl saying the story wasn’t that good but to me it’s good an I been hook I miss work just to play it
one of my fav games I played recently, it’s definitely in my top 3 of this year so far
Same!
It’s days gone all over again TH-cam doesn’t like it but the actual gamers do
i said exactly the same thing and now everybody wants a sequel of days gone even the media joke
Damn Man! You made me feel old. Because the gameplay reminded me more of the old Way of the Samurai series.
Haha actually I've heard a few others compare it to that!
This game has hard WotS vibes. The counter spark is very similar to the awase system in the way you can fire it off basically at any time even while in the middle of an attack. All (or most?) enemies use a sword and stance combo that is accessible to the player so effective combat is very dependent on knowing all the weapons/styles and being able to recognize them in enemies.
This game is so good and yeah the reviews are pretty much trash gathered from 5 hours of gameplay. “Poor enemy variety” like get a clue, yeah they’re all humans but there are like 60 different stances.
I'm glad to see more and more people with positive reviews. So many people put like 10-20 hrs in and never made it out the tutorial area
I’m going to play the game on the hardest difficulty from the start. I love Ghost of Tsushima, but agreed that Rise of the Ronin is amazing as well.
I'd love to attempt the hardest difficulty. I'll die a ton, but it'll feel more rewarding!
I was 50/50 on this. But so glad I got it. Absolutely love it. Underrated. Great game and love the combat. Graphics can be a mixed bag. At times looks great. Others not so much. But overall it’s great
Totally agree with your review. I felt the game looked much more like japan than ghost. And more lively.
I absolutely agree.
Honestly, I like GoT a lot, but from the beginning I didn't understand why Ronin was compared to it. The only thing both games have in common is that they take place in open world Japan and there are samurai. GoT is a love letter to Master Kurosawa and the romanticized depiction of samurai and Japan, it feels more like a visualized legend and fable. Ronin rather tries for a more naturalistic depiction, of course it is still fiction with some fantastic elements, unrealistic inventions, ninjas and effective swordsmanship duels, but it still seems somehow more believable.
Ronin is a great game, I have experience with Team Ninja games so I knew the combat system would be addictive and it is, perhaps the most out of all their games so far just because of the amount of weapons and different styles. Honestly, if I had to recommend a game, I would recommend Ronin with a clear conscience, because I find it much better as a game, although it doesn't have as nice visuals as GoT, but I find the gameplay much more fun.
Ultimately, both games are great for samurai and Japanese fans, but each is trying to do something completely different.
PS:Sorry for my English, it's not my native language.
Excellent video game review Bushido Blues I found it very intriguing.
there is something really addicting about the combat like I clear out one camp I immediately want to get to the next one
Can you say best review for this game so far! I'm giving you a sub you were so honest and fair with everything you said! I absolutely love this game lmao 136+ hours in! On my 4k HDR Neo G8 this game looks and feels phenomenal!!❤
Thank you for this video❤🙏
I honestly think that this game would not get the hate it got, if it weren't a PS5 exclusive. Just rolled credits after 170h and i stil lwant to play more of the game and get better at the combat an all it's secret systems it has to offer. It has a beatiful world, great characters and some amazing boss battles. Can't recommend it enough if you like Samurais, Ninjas and Guns lol
This is one of those games where people 5 years later will say hey wait a minute this is a good game
I’m not surprised by it flaws either, I expect every Team Ninja game to have plastic graphics and shallow storyline, but they make up for it with good action and tons of content
Same here 100% the more i play it the more i love it.. All connects so well and the world to me feels really good. GOTY so far
I'm an idiot and can't remember if I already commented here, so sorry if I did. But yeah, dude- this game is f'in awesome. I seriously love it. At times, the graphics are absolutely beautiful- the bamboo forests, the snow, some of the ocean and ship scenes...and the Japanese villages all look great.
I personally think that the developers shot the selves in the foot by putting some of the worst looking parts in the beginning...the visuals really crank up after you finish the first map, and that's too bad, because a ton of people are going to turn it off because of that.
If you want it to look the best, you need to turn off the stupid camera effects, the "film grain effect", set a steady frame rate, and hit graphics mode in the options under visuals. If you do, it can look almost as good as Ghost, more or less. The "photo" mode is great- it's definitely just as good as Ghost's.
If you play it on hard, yeah, it's a Soul's...I guess. If you play it on easy, you can seriously just play it like a hack and slash. Which is fine by me, because I love and miss Ninja Gaiden so much.
The gore is f'in magnificent. If you dig ninja gore, well- it's the best you'll have seen since Ninja Gaiden 2 on 360 (not the sigma ps3 watered down gore).
The story is- bizarre. It surprised me a few times by killing off what I thought were going to be essential players, and that was pretty cool. There are really strange side quests like finding flowers for an old guy that is in love with a young prostitute, or figuring out what the crabs that some other weirdo are eating. It's got that uniquely quirky Asian vibe that's it's hard to explain, but you either know it and love it or can't stand it, I suppose.
The big flaw that I have with it is that it is possible to get all the way through the game with a really bad weapon's proficiency. What that translates to is that you can end the main story with a character around level 60- but have a weapon proficiency of like 25 even on your main weapon if you don't have the right gear or charms active on your playthrough. What that means is that you can complete it, then try the midnight/ridiculously hard mode, and just get owned because your attacks barely work on the high level enemies. You can run around and try to grind your proficiency up, but it takes a really, REALLY long time. So- yeah, no way around it, that sucks.
I actually enjoyed it more than Ghost overall. It's a hell of a lot more in depth- from the countless gear and weapon options to the enemy variety- even the scene variety. Fighting the same four types of Mongols and 3 bandits in Ghost got old for me just a few hours in...and the constant running back and forth to check on this person or that in order to proceed. You don't get any of that here, and, we'll, that's great.
What i love absout this games is that it feels like, an interactive Chambara film.
Great review! I am playing it on hard difficulty and to me is a solid 10.
You're really good if you can play this on hard!
Thank you for making this video 👊💜
You're welcome!!
This game is just like days gone all the media joke they didn’t give it a chance they give it 7 and 6 and now everybody wants a sequel of days gone including the media joke i have the game and i not even halfway and i gave it a 9 i love it
I’m currently playing FFVII Rebirth as well. Rise of the Ronin is close in my back log queue.
Played this game and i enjoyed it. Still continuing my playthrough of the game.
Hey y'all. I'm a super new player that just got a PS5 . Haven't had a console since PS1. I'm loving it so far. I like the Samurai vibe, so is this a title that may be worth the money for a beginner? Thanks in advance for the advice
Ur keeping it 100 this is very fun
YTers be bandwagoning each other and people blindly make their decisions based of their videos. Thanks for playing it and using your own mind to think. Been taking my
Time and enjoying every bit of it.
Great review
Thank you!
I love both ghost and Rise. But Im going to give it to Rise. You can get really creative in the combat once you find your style. Not on Nioh2 level but it might get there in the future.
I almost prefer going into games with low expectations, in this case I was blown away!
Alone in the Dark is another recent game that was reviewed too harshly. It's a great game if you like classic era survival horror, don't sleep on it if that's your thing.
I am suprised about the level of human enemies and bosses that still has unique moves
Looks really good. I didn't even hear of it.
I almost didnt get it but so glad I did, Im loving it
Such a great game. Really hope more people ignore the mid reviews. Definitely feels like this generation’s Days Gone or Mad Max.
Im a big fan of this game. It even has the place where my great aunt was born. Yokahama.
You nailed it bro!
Thanks!!
@@bushidoblues9302 I'm really loving it, takes back to tenchu PS1 days and I definitely like the art direction better than ghost IMO.
I'd buy it day one if it's on pc too. already play all past Team ninja's game. hope it come to pc next year.
Can someone please help me decide if I should play Ghost directors cut or this on the ps5? I dont have much time so trying to decide which one to jump into.
Play this.
Its an awesome game, and has many different fighting styles, hell! Sometimes a fight can feel like house of flying daggers even.
It is great game!!! Dont care for critics. Combat is brutal! You have tons of weapons and stances, bonding with chars is cool. Yeah it s not graphical marvel but not as bad as people say. I love game i, invested 25hr and still playing!Btw cool video man!
Thanks! I'm glad you're liking it too!
Im in love with this game❤
I really liked Rise of the Ronin. The only part I thought was a bit lack luster was which character you choose. Spending hrs in character creations creating 2 unique character only for the game not to acknowledge which one you chose it was always they or them never he or she. That bit seems like more effort was needed but otherwise the game was exceptional.
Im having a lot of fun with it
Currently playing Rise of the Ronin, a day one pre order purchase, and totally fixated.
From the historical backdrop of the Bakamatsu and its many interesting characters , to the varied environments, character customization, representation of authentic martial styles, myriad weapons and engrossing methodical yet fast paced combat, this for me is a 10/10
The "reviewers" giving this a mediocre rating are disingenuous at best and intentionally lazy and dismissive at worst.
Thanks for the review, glad to have found your channel.
I love this game about to hit level 40
I agree, I'm enjoying Rise of Ronin more than Ghost of Tsushima mainly bc of the combat I think. Obviously GOT had Beautiful graphics (especially for its time) but I got bored after a while & still haven't beaten it. I'm already way more invested in Rise of Ronin
I got bored of GOT after awhile too. It's repetitive. Rise on the other hand has a great variation of missions.
Yeah im playing this game now and its awesome
Cant wait for this to come to PC.
Amazing game I love it ❤❤❤
Also, poster said it was his FIRST PS5 game; maybe he hasn't had a chance to check out GOT; give him a break, I'm sure he'll get there. Don't overhype it though, then he'll be like, "that's it?“ Just recommend, and let him see.
Definitely curing them blues huh
Been trying my hardest to enjoy ronin after this last month sinking 100+ hours into ghost… ronins FPS drops are really the only big complaint I have otherwise it’s super addicting and fun but the frame drops really take you out of immersion alot
This is why those top reviewers can ruin some games appeal just because they don’t like it and unfair to compare to GoT. So much more to this game than the “PS3 Graphics” This game has so much potential for improvements and visuals for a sequel Im hoping for 🙏🏽
Game reviews are worthless especially now that everything is political for some like IGN..
IGN has been a joke for over a decade, but now most are just as useless.
game is criminally underrated. This & the new prince of persia have been my fav games i’ve played this year (so far). Both were downplayed b/c of “agendas”
I just picked up the new prince of Persia and really looking forward to it! Both games are challenging which is interesting.
It's a great game. I have 50+ hours. Nothing mind blowing, just a fun game with great combat.
Agree❤
Your character is not really a silent protagonist. He/she does speak.
Even if she/he was silent, it’s not a bad thing in my opinion. The Persona games have silent protagonists and they’re awesome.
@@andrebaxter4023 Yeah it’s not a bad thing. I like it because when you do hear he or she say something, no matter how subtle, it’s impactful. Well at least in my opinion
@TheXpertGenius83 agreed. The convos with blade twin are so impactful
Team ninja make great games. I have yet to play one I didn't love. Bought rise, but I gotta beat dragon's dogma 2 first. I am excited though. Final fantasy stranger of paradise, wo long & both niohs were good
I’m not gonna skip it. But I’m not gonna pay $70 for it. I’ll wait for it when goes down to $15 or less.
Lol I wish games were $15. The lowest I see it now is $30.
@@bushidoblues9302 wait another 2 years lol
Ghost has to be one of my favourite games of all time, but I love the AC series and i have zero interest in Souls games. So I feel like I'm stuck in the middle, lol. Waiting for a sale.
idk watching the gameplay im not really intrigued, ig i like GoT more because of the more realistic aspects of it, rise feels like a fantasy game not trying to compare im sure rise is good idk ima wait for more reviews to try it out
Rise is more challenging and precise, so it feels more rewarding. Plus, the weapon variety and martial arts forms make it not as repetitive.
This game is actually just as grounded as GOT, no fantastical elements with a very deep story tied to the political factions of japan at the time, you're missing out
@@malwd6321 my dad just bought it lmao so fuck it might as well play it
I was looking forward to bg3 forever but was bummed out when it just felt like a bland dos2. Actually been having the most fun playing dragons dogma 2 and rise of ronin lately the games everyones been hating on. Sure there is better quality stuff out but nothing that keeps me playing as much.
70 on a test is a 1st!
Its my goty so far
Awesome!
It looks dated. it's 70GBP in England (which is $90). 70GBP is a weeks worth of food and beer. They released it at the same time as DD2. Which is 60GBP and has much higher production values. I don't doubt the game is decent but developers/publishers need to udnerstand that if your game is not a technical marvel then don't sell it as such. I think 75/100 is fair score for a game which looks 5 years old and is retailing for premium price.
The game is worth 70 quid, hell DD2 is worth 70 quid. If you'd rather spend your money on beer, then that sounds like a you problem.
@@antop4597 I said $90 is a weeks worth of FOOD and beer. Not just beer alone dumbass. Learn reading comprehension.
I'm having so much fun with this game. Ignore the hate i have no idea why all the hate is out their. Makes no sense as the game is great. Ghost was a beautiful game but the combat is junk compared to RoTR once you start to get into it.
I started seeing everyone thinks that's game critic and than all giving game bad score😅
I like it better than ghost of Tsushima
i love the gameplay , its fun , but i cannot with the graphic i just cant, on ps5 4k , it really looks like old Gen, if its on pc probably can mod make it look nicer, i know graphic its not everything but thats is one of the reason make you want to explore and enjoy the view as its an open world , ronin also lack immersion when you ride horse everything break etc, and driven story to motivate you , you will enjoy more fighting other boses etc than bother with the main mission, whats great about tsushima is the immersion the arts the graphic is so amazing and the story is so great that you must seek revenge you hate the invaders you need to do this to save your country etc and because the amazing graphics everywhere you go you will stop for abit to enjoy the scenery and immerse in this digital world, so as much as i enjoy the gameplay on ronin, after a while i uninstall theres no point of me continue it
But if you like to really challenge yourself ,grind and master the mechanic and skill and different weapons which is alot, than this game is for you and you will really enjoy it
Have you SEEN corpo gaming journalists? More often than not, they're not even gamers, they're often far left activists just looking to get into journalism and spread their politics. Kotaku did a review for Paper Mario Origami King that you have to read to believe: Mario's militant misogyny...
Lmao! Are you serious? I almost want to read the review just for a laugh!
Idk how these companies stay in business
@bushidoblues9302 venture capitalists despite the journalists are often socialists crying evil capitalism daily.
Goty
Its not bad at all just overpriced. Im still looking for some videos where to find to unlock new combat styles etc.
Its a mistery
So is it as good as people are saying ?????
I'm really enjoying it!
@@bushidoblues9302 I think I am gonna buy it hopes it’s fun dose it got a big open world ????
@Steveo0547 it's a big open world but not like eldin ring big or anything. But it's filled with fun exploration and treasures actually worth getting. If you like samurai, you gotta get it. You could always wait for a price drop if you're unsure.
@@bushidoblues9302 I’ve been playing it and i think it’s really fun stupid how hate on this game
@@Steveo0547 I'm glad you're liking it!
Ghost of tsushima WAS objectively better. That said, this game is good, and there is no need to compare them. You CAN own an Apple and Android Phone, you CAN own a Ps5 and an XBox; these things are allowed. Enjoy things, ya'll. Enjoy your lives. 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🙇🙇🙇🙏🙏🙏
I own like 10 GPS, I don't know if I am supposed to be comparing them? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ I DON'T THOUGH. Just play your games and enjoy them. Games are for fun and escaping stress, not making MORE.
FPS, not GPS. Autocorrect wrecked me.
I just can’t play Ghost of Tsushima for a long time. Something about it puts me to sleep.
Yeah the graphics are beautiful, but the combat is so boring. Rise of the Ronin does the combat better; I’m even liking the story campaign or whatever you want to call this.
Even after patch 1.04 came out this game is still buggy as hell to play, I talked to a few friends that have played this game, I have even run into this issue, where as soon as you leave character customization the game will immediately crash. And I've tried five times, I've even uninstalled the game reinstalled it and updated to the new patch. This doesn't make any sense...
Garbage got the graphics of a ps3 at best gameplay average ! Horse mechanics like a Lego Game
I've been finding it pretty boring. I hope it picks up.
Looks like a Fromsoftware game! The combat looks horrendous, that's why I'm not buying it!
Definitely not the best game of 2024
Not liking Ghost’s combat is crazy ….Seems far more realistic and seemless than this but il give it a try.
The combat in ghost is good but ronin is so much deeper and more fun and flashy to do.
Imagine defending greedy bs games
will wait until they patch the price
The games decent but not great. The missions are so boring and mundane, the style of fighting doesn’t make a difference as the enemy’s are so hard you just end up pressing block or parry and hope foe the best. Ghost was so much better in many ways.
The critic points of said reviewers would let people who actually played rise of the ronin believe, that said reviewers actually never played the game.
I mean boring combat? Bland Open World design? That are some crazy statements to make who have been done by some critics.
Sekiro shadows die twice is far superior
2 different games that I both really like. Sekiro might be my favorite of the From Software
completed ch2 and its a great game, combat is sooo much fun
game reviewers both journos and on utube are so bad these days, they only review for money and dont play games
Team ninja does not appeal to me anymore
After they were stuck in Nioh style games
They lost it
Sexy DOA games that don’t give a fuck are my kind of games
Not whatever this is
Shit empty open world with nothing to do, Arcady combat. Shit graphics. It’s 2024. How can a company make red dead 2 and expect to enjoy this garbage. I really was looking forward to this game because I love rurouni kenshin
Great video! im happy im not the only one who feels this way about this game🥲
Only stupid people won’t give this gem a chance because graphics.
I’m 30 hours in and sure graphics are not GoT ones,the game’s depth is on a whole other level.
I love em both but Rise of the Ronin is a very good successor imho
