The PC release of Rise of the Ronin has been met with a negative reception from users.
The game has received “mixed” reviews on Steam, with only 44% positive feedback.
The biggest source of dissatisfaction among users is the technical state of the title.
Many players note that the graphics look like early PS4 games and yet run poorly even on high-end PCs.
A common complaint is shader issues: despite a long compilation process at startup, Rise of the Ronin frequently stutters, especially in cutscenes.
Threads with complaints about performance have also been opened on Reddit and ResetEra.
Rise of the Ronin was originally released on PS5 on March 22, 2024, receiving a score of 77 on Metacritic.
The PC version was released on March 11, 2025.
