Is Rise of the Ronin worth buying?

In its overall approach to missions and exploration, we will have an open world similar to the classic formula, but in terms of gameplay, it's clear that it has the popular "souls" genre in mind, more specifically the challenging combat system of games like "Sekiro."

Skills follow a progression system that resets upon death, but the experience we gain allows us to unlock skill points that we do not lose. Two sides of the same coin that, although it may seem convoluted, once you start playing, it works perfectly.

The open world is completely immersive, something that has never been a pending matter in PS5 exclusives. In addition to great freedom of movement, we have a classic paravela that gave us so much joy in games like "Zelda: Breath of the Wild," but with an impressive recreation of Japan.

Much has been said these days about this game, comparing it to other similar titles. The long shadow of Ubisoft and the recent success of Elden Ring have forged a hybrid that tries to find its own spirit within the overexploited genre of open worlds.

However, we should not confuse ourselves, being inspired is not a design flaw, as it tries to take the best of various styles of video games while still offering its own systems. If no game borrowed from other genres, we would practically have no games today.

It should be noted that the game is a PlayStation 5 exclusive, so in terms of prices, the game will take some time to drop to a much cheaper price than it can have at launch (€80 on the PlayStation Store). That's why, at the moment, we recommend that you wait a few months to purchase it, as it will surely drop in price much more. If despite our advice, you still want to buy it, we can give you several tips.

If we want to save the most money, the game is available in Account format on the Enjify store for €42.99, or on the Difmark store for €47.29. This format offers to buy a PS5 account with the game already unlocked. This format is not as advisable as a PS5 Key, which is much easier to unlock as it is instantly redeemed in the official PS5 store and adds the game to your personal account.
