Pro/Con – What makes Rise of the Ronin good and what makes it bad?

Strong combat, weak open world: Most international media agree on the pros and cons: The action role-playing game has a solid and satisfying combat and action system, but is disappointing due to its open world and story.

the page VideoGamer For example, he draws the following conclusion:

“Rise of the Ronin is a competent, overly bloated open-world game. Despite having issues with story pacing and many meaningless interactions, Rise of the Ronin is the best version of Nioh's mechanics translated into a single open world.”

In the GamePro review, tester Samara Summer also noted the game's poor graphical presentation, textures are muddy at times and the lighting is also disappointing.

BUT: If you like samurai fights, Then you've come to the right place with Rise of the Ronin: “Duels in which I have to closely monitor my opponent, study every move and respond precisely: this is what I like about Rise of the Ronin – as is usual in Souls games. Rise of the Ronin manages to do this perfectly “capture the feeling of a samurai and makes me cheer internally.” When I have great success,” tester Samara wrote in her conclusion.
