What Review Score Would You Give Rise of the Ronin? | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Rise of the Ronin has been out for just over a week now, and so we want to know what you think of Team Ninja's open world action RPG. Published by Sony itself, this PS5 exclusive was met with somewhat divided reviews, and so currently sits at a 76 on Metacritic. User impressions have been more lenient overall, but it's still hard to shake the feeling that Rise of the Ronin has struggled to make any kind of significant impact.

«Rise of the Ronin isn't a bad game; it's something debatably worse: completely forgettable,» is what we wrote in our Rise of the Ronin PS5 review.

It’s funny to see the difference between media and Redditors. It seems like there’s a much larger chunk of the community enjoying it than would appear. I still trust Fightin Cowboy for his review, which aligns to a degree with Push Square.

I’ll be getting it on sale as I love Team Ninja and will have my own fun with it at a lower price.

I get a feeling that this will hit in a similar way to Days Gone for me… ie reviewed poorly but I’ll end up really enjoying it.

I’m finally picking it up today so despite not having a score to share, I am very excited.

I'd give it an 8. Maybe I'm just burnt out on the FromSoft formula, but Team Ninja's
