With Rise of the Ronin, Team Ninja is cautiously trying its luck in the open-world arena, without setting any new standards for its future projects in this genre. Despite a world design that may seem conventional, the game stands out for its rich history and complexity. The game's setting transports us into a remarkable historical immersion, where we meet nuanced characters evolving in an equally complex geopolitical landscape, an uncommon aspect in the studio's productions and in the video game genre in general.

Team Ninja's strengths are in evidence, with an extremely rewarding combat system, an impressive variety of weapons to master, and memorable opponents, despite their lack of diversity. Whether you're a fan of the studio's creations, a fan of traditional open worlds, or a fan of Japanese history, Rise of the Ronin has something to satisfy you. I can see myself in all these categories, and I can only warmly recommend that you immerse yourself in this adventure. Rise of the Ronin is an experience not to be missed for those looking to combine a love of video games, an appreciation of well-choreographed combat and an interest in history with a capital H.
