Team Ninja always releases bangers, even though this is definitely my least favorite.

Pros:
- An actually really interesting well rounded cast of a metric shit load of characters
- A Ubisoft checklist style of open world that is actually not that boring
- Story that gets good for the middle and end at least
- Satisfying combat that feels good to learn
- Ryoma

Cons:
- Super watered down skill trees compared to Nioh and Wo Long, feels like very little character power growth
- Zero enemy variety makes an already long game feel like an eternity toward the end
- Too long (exacerbated by the previous two cons) if they condensed the game into the first two chapters it would have been better
- Some crazy difficult bosses

SPOILER BELOW













The biggest con is your blade twin easily. Feels like an edgelord kid’s oc being like “oh and my guy has a mechanical arm and can use all the weapons together and can win every fight.” A completely irredeemable hypocritical piece of shit character. Killing them was the easiest choice ever made in a game. Fuck em.

You know I have to agree with all of this.

Im glad you liked the story also because Rise of the ronin has been a fantastic game if you know alot about the Bakumatsu period but no many people do and rise of the ronin kinda did a meh job at explaning that but hey i cant blame them haha.
