I can proudly say that as of April 2024, Rise of the Ronin is my favourite game of the year and maybe even my game of the year. It is an impressive awe inspiring venture into Meiji Era Japan. The world pleads to be explored and is filled with plenty to see and collect. As someone who is new and partially intimidated by Team Ninja games I can say that I am impressed and looking for more even driving me to buy Nioh to give a try later on. I feel this game is an underrated gem which needs to be picked up by anyone who has even the slightest interest in historic Japan and samurai gameplay. Come on Ryoma and Katsura let’s get back to work. XD
