Rise of the Ronin Faces a Wave of Negative Reviews on Steam Due to Technical Issues

The highly anticipated game Rise of the Ronin from Koei Tecmo has been facing a significant amount of criticism on Steam. The game has been receiving numerous negative reviews, many of which focus on the technical problems that players are experiencing, even on high-end PCs.

As of now, only 43% of the reviews are positive, with the rest highlighting the various issues the game seems to be facing. These include problems like stuttering and game-breaking bugs, which have left many frustrated.

Performance Issues with High-End PCs

One of the most common complaints comes from players experiencing stuttering during gameplay. This issue persists even for those with high-end systems, including users with the GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card. This high-end GPU, despite being surpassed by the RTX 5090, is still considered one of the best available. However, the game continues to struggle with performance, causing frustration among its players.

Many users have complained about broken quests that halt progress and errors triggered by different in-game events. Despite these issues, the most frequently mentioned concern is still the game’s poor performance.

A Problematic PC Port

It seems that Rise of the Ronin has faced yet another problematic conversion to PC. However, this may not significantly affect its sales. Similar issues were seen with Monster Hunter Wilds, which, despite facing serious technical problems, still sold millions of copies and remained at the top of Steam’s sales chart for days.

The issues with Rise of the Ronin are a clear reminder of how important it is for games to be optimized for PC before being released, especially for players who expect smooth and polished gameplay.
