Rise of the Ronin had a good reception when it first launched on PS5 but unfortunately, the same can't be said for the PC version. The game launched on Steam a few weeks ago after one-year of PS5 exclusivity and so far, the reviews have been largely mixed. 

On Steam, the game currently has a mixed overall score based on over 3000 user reviews. Many of the reviews call out the game's poor performance, with players struggling with lag, frame rate spikes and dips, as well as other issues. The overall impression is that the game was not properly optimised for PC hardware.

Tomorrow on April 10th, Team Ninja will begin rolling out a new patch for the game that aims to address performance issues but it seems unlikely that everything will be fixed with one update. The game is likely to need months of additional testing and optimisation work to reach a state the majority will be happy with.

KitGuru Says: Team Ninja has had its issues with PC ports in the past. Nioh is a good example, although there was a big improvement for Nioh 2. Unfortunately, it seems Rise of the Ronin also needed a bit more time in development and came to PC a bit too soon.
