Rise of the Ronin's PC Port: A PS5 Rehash?

Team NINJA's ambitious action RPG, Rise of the Ronin, finally makes its PC debut a year after its console release. While post-launch performance patches have addressed some issues, there's been no news of DLC or additional content. So, what do PC players get that PS5 owners didn't?

An Unoptimized Port, Lacking New Content

Unfortunately, the PC version of Rise of the Ronin offers no additional content. The main advantage is adjustable graphics settings to suit different hardware. However, reports indicate ongoing optimization issues, mirroring the PlayStation release. Players should expect to fine-tune settings before achieving a smooth experience.

Wait for a Sale; New Content Unlikely

Game8 awarded the original PS5 version an 80/100, praising its visuals, combat, and character creator. The PC port, being essentially identical, warrants a wait for a sale unless you're craving a "samurai with guns" experience. Given the lack of announcements from Team NINJA or Koei Tecmo, further content seems unlikely.
