Rise of the Ronin arrived on Steam this week, a year after its debut on PlayStation 5, and I'm sorry to say it's not going well, as players are reporting serious performance problems with the game. Koei Tecmo says it's now "investigating" the reports and working on a patch that will hopefully "fix or improve some of these issues."
There doesn't seem to be any singular, consistent issue driving the complaints, beyond that it just doesn't run well at all, even on relatively high-end PCs. Common issues include stuttering, low and inconsistent frame rates, crashes, and input delays; making matters worse, numerous players complain the game really doesn't look great, even with graphical settings cranked up. The net result is a "mixed" rating on Steam, where just 44% of user reviews are positive.
