PlayStation fans are expressing disappointment with the performance of the latest PS5 exclusive game, "Rise of the Ronin," just hours after its launch. The samurai action game by Team Ninja, released on March 22, 2024, is facing backlash from gamers for its underwhelming visuals and poor performance.
Twitter Backlash
Players took to Twitter to voice their frustrations with the game, with one user describing it as running "like trash." Another questioned the decision to release Rise of the Ronin in its current state.
Technical Breakdown
Some users posted technical breakdowns of the game's performance across different modes, including performance, quality, and ray tracing. The performance mode, which typically sacrifices visual quality for a higher frame rate, reportedly struggles to maintain 60 frames per second on the latest-gen consoles, dipping to 40 frames per second in Rise of the Ronin.
Dated Graphics
Despite being a current-gen exclusive for PS5, Rise of the Ronin is facing criticism for its dated graphics and performance issues. Comparisons to older games have led some users to believe that decade-old titles look better than the newly released game.
Not Living Up to Expectations
For fans expecting a samurai-focused game akin to 2020's "Ghost of Tsushima," Rise of the Ronin seems to fall short. However, RPG enthusiasts have another game release on the same day that might make up for the disappointment. Check out our review of Capcom's unique RPG masterpiece, "Dragon’s Dogma 2."
