Rise of the Rōnin is the no-holds-barred, sword-clashing epic I’ve longed for, allowing me to dash at breakneck pace through mid-1800s Japan. Its open world, though scarcely populated, is as inviting as it is grueling, uplifted by a narrative fueled with intrigue and surprises writ large. Eloquently underpinning this third-person action-adventure is a cultured zest all its own, a welcome departure from most modern experiences in its category — and well beyond.
