Rise of the Ronin team apologises as players blast "horrible" optimisation


Rise of the Ronin developer Team Ninja has "sincerely apologised" for "inconveniences" with its Steam port.

Watch on YouTube Rise of the Ronin released on Steam on 11th March 2025, and it's currently sitting on a "mixed" user score, with just 57 percent of the 3118 reviewers opting to award it a positive rating. "I really like the gameplay, the combat, maybe the exploration (it has its issues, though) but I can't recommend this game in good faith when it has some of the most terrible optimisation ever," explained one player. We awarded Rise of the Ronin four out of five stars in Eurogamer's review, saying: "[Developer] Team Ninja borrows the open-world familiarity and historical tourism of Assassin's Creed while adapting its own breed of hardcore action for the mainstream."
