This video is a gaming essay about Rise of the Ronin, a PS5 exclusive action game that was developed by Team Ninja.

Definitely agree, I think the combat has been my favourite in a game for years, if not ever.

very well done video. i love that i had got to play Ishin first, it gave me a better perspective on some of the goings on in this turbulent period for japan. it was also just very interesting to see scenes correspond in both games. i do like the stat sets and the true feeling of a growing power in japan (being the player) alongside the strife of the nation was gripping. I can honestly say I had gotten attached to particular character and freaked out when certain story beats play out. again, great video. thank you for the time and dedication put on this.

Thanks heaps! Honestly i feel like it’s an under-utilised period of history, I actually only first encountered it in the Total War Shogun games, but it’s super fascinating to me, and I think Team Ninja used the interactive format perfectly to tell the story to a wider audience. Fingers crossed for DLC but not sure where they would go with it

this this game do well at all?

I heard that it had a very slow start (I think because it came out around the same time as Dragons Dogma 2), but i also saw an article recently that said after its went on sale for Days of Play, it’s picked up a lot of pace and is doing as well as Nioh 2 had in the same time period. I think this is definitely one of those games that positive word of mouth is helping it out, which is great to see!

lmao his explanation about graphics is so delusion. Name me one game where your dancing around having the blood pour out on the ground, and all the other delusional expectation yapping. Most games make a particle effect, then have blood splash then dissappear, or never connect with the floor. Most the graphics in this game are literally the same as most other games, and it's higher graphics than many of the games that launched on xbox over the past few years.

Yep you’re spot on. That was why I made sure to mention the technology to reach that kind of presentation is about 25 years away. The whole graphics section was in defence of the game and people being overly critical when the game first came out and comparing it to games with ray tracing etc. It just had a big target on its back because it was a Sony exclusive. I’ll definitely admit that the editing lost a big chunk of the section where that was explained better though, so I can see where you’re coming from. Appreciate you taking the time to give your thoughts. Also absolutely agree on your last point about Xbox.
