The gameplay really carries the game. Every fight and counter are seriously enjoyable, sadly I can't say the same about the rest. It lacks modern graphics, atmosphere, background lighting, facial expressions and so on (they are not the worst, but not 2024 graphics). The story was really political, which is not my thing but there are some many famous figures which makes their encounter worth while.

In general Rise of the Ronin is worth it and fun, but maybe not at full price
