Have they stuck the landing in this ambitious project and kept up to their high standard of gameplay? Let’s find out in our Rise of the Ronin Review!

Ghost of Tsushima combat is more realistic and just cooler, slower paced. Don't expect Ronin to be like that. It's kind of like sekiro, but more flashy. You can juggle enemies in the air with a pistol. I don't like that. It makes this game look odd. They should have just made it a new ninja gaisen if they were gonna make combat that way It's like sekiro but mix of hack and slash in there. It's very hard to describe. Like sekiro, you can only really kill an enemy, after you show your defense. This one seems like you have more opportunity to get lucky

So many people are talking about the combat not being as complex as nioh but the devs specifically stated that, that wasnt what they were going for in the BTS( behind the scenes).They werent looking for crazy difficulty or anything. This IS NOT a "Souls-like". Which is why this game will also have multiple difficulties. This is also team ninjas first crack at an actual real open world if im not mistaken. This game also has a move narrative focus than their other games which they also stated. It seems like they put quite a bit of effort into the game imo. I think everyone just needs to chill out and just actually give the game a chance first. As long as they update it to address the issue's and take care of the community im kool....Also great review @Fextralife

@arkannon1682 2 ай бұрын

I agree the game shouldn't be labeled as bad because "it isn't Nioh". However, the combat is a clear downgrade the moment you know who the devs of the game are and it wouldn't hurt the experience one bit if the combat wasn't simplified to such degree. Narrative focused gameplay shouldn't mean simple combat.

@petershahan533 2 ай бұрын

I love team Ninja for their identity ( the combat , the Challenges, level designs …..) . As i see in this review they were less focusing on combat and more on narratives , which most of players how bought team ninja’s games didn’t care about it. And i saw another review which said the open world is inspired from Ubi soft games, now i am really confused about it. I will buy the game later after i finish DD2.

@NaregChakhbasian 2 ай бұрын

Well they messed up then. The crazy combat was literally the only reason people were playing their games. That and their new game system which was way better than anything else. They worked 8 years to give us a mediocre sekiro and ghost clone.

If you liked nioh or ghost of Tsushima I don't understand how you couldn't like this game. Although you don't get any special powers, the combat style is way more fun than nioh, plus there is way more things do than nioh and it's not the same repetitive mission. The stat and skills aspect to the game are way easier to use; and if you don't want the game to make you contemplate suicide, you actually have the choice of making the game more forgivable or difficult.

I agree with a 7, definitely fell short of Wo long Fallen Dynasty. And whose idea was it to make us run around caressing cats? 😂 C’mon yo, this game isn’t a 10/10 or even a 9/10. I’m reminded of that every time I go to use the grapple hook to scale heights. Lol, looks so dumb. They should’ve taken inspiration from Seikiro for their animation of the grapple hook climbing.. and really? We use the Staminia bar just to use our flying kite? Cmon yo, they have already implemented gravity into the game. Let it do its job and leave Stamina bar alone, pretty ridiculously. Huge disappointment. Only thing it has going for it is the combat system. But it still doesn’t surpass the parry system in Wo Long by a long shot. Why make your other games so great, but then not take mechanics you used in them, to make an even greater game? What a big joke… Game looks like it never left 2015 at all… Them graphics are so sad.. I think some of yall are missing the point. The fact is that WE ALL KNOW that TeamNinja can give us better games than this.. We’re not hating on the game to just hate it Lol.

My only issue ( for now) with the game is the empty open world - it's huge, it's great, it has a lot of villages and forest but very few enemies to fight.

If you liked Nioh and Ghost of Tsushima, this is a no-brainer. And if you felt like Nioh was too hard, well this game has a difficulty setting, win-win for everyone !

Hi Fextralife, thanks for the review. You mentioned in the video how you can pretty much max out your character in the end game and have nearly all skills, so are you saying that there are basically no need for or are no builds in the way of Nioh?

@Fextralife 2 ай бұрын

There is build variety in set bonuses and choosing your weapons. There are definetely certain playstyles as well, like using Earthenballs (grenades) or specific stances

Man I was picking either this or dragons dogma up day 1 and it's getting real hard to choose as I love the first Dragons Dogma while loving Team Ninja's gameplay design since playing Ninja Gaiden Black when I was younger. Guess I'm gonna flip a coin

@georgen5882 2 ай бұрын

Sounds like either one will be a hit with you regardless. My only issue is that dragons dogma looks like it’s almost the exact same as the first one, just with better graphics. I want to play it but personally I’m leaving toward ronin first.

@BenDover91187 2 ай бұрын

I was in the same boat. I chose DD2 based on what I saw in Fextra and Fighting Cowboys reviews. The tie breaker for me was the horse animation in this game and the literal checklist of open world things to do, whereas I enjoy the freedom and no hand holding of DD2. Did I mention the horse animation?

@pockystyx4087 2 ай бұрын

it’s a shame we have yet to hit the highs of combat; since Nioh 2, but I will definitely try to pick this one up down the line. It at least looks like it plays a lot better than Wo Long, and I will probably be more interested in the story in this over Stranger of Paradise.

Would you say the combat keeps up with the playthrough length? I'm a little concerned with the idea that normal enemies have too much health turning it into Assassins creed slog. Even Ghost of Tsushima sometimes felt like that depending on the difficulty setting.

If you can master the counterspark, the combat would be pretty fast. If you miss it often, you might be more compelled to do stealth kills after a while

@lolersthe4th880 2 ай бұрын

Gaming discourse is so interesting. I think most people don't see this game as ''bad'', but rather, ''bad in relation to the price point''. So, it might atm get some undue criticism - whereas, a few months or even weeks down the line if/when a sale happens, it'll likely be looked at more favorably. I'll be honest, this game looks to be checking a lot of boxes for me. You can tell it's no master piece, but there's something there for those that enjoy open world romps. A 'Team Ninja open world' is appealing so even if it doesn't quite land, I'm actually pretty excited to check it out when it does go on sale. I suppose as a gamer, I never really cared about getting in the door day 1. What a game initially costs is barely ever a factor of how I'd judge it - and ultimately, time always washes away the cost to quality ratio debate (unless you're Nintendo). Watched a few reviews and while I'd rather pick up Dragon's Dogma 2 over this if I had to pick, personally, I'm just gonna wait for a sale and experience it whenever that happens.
