Rise of the Ronin is great. But the open world trash sucks, and there’s too many npcs introduced. Combat is fantastically brutal & gory. Later bosses are extremely difficult, but rewarding for being creative with taking down there assistant enemies first and foremost. This better game was underrated and overlooked by an overrated Dragon’s Dogma 2.

Nine Sols is very appealing, but does it do anything new? Or is it just doing a lot of the same but doing it very well? Can anyone chime in that has played it?

Still playing Rise of the Ronin, it's honestly fantastic as a fan of the Nioh games. It's essentially those games but in an open world format and works surprisingly well. The choices in the story and the social link elements, I suppose if you could call them that, feel just about engaging enough that they add to the game even if they aren't actually that deep.

I feel like people just wrote the game off because of that retard on Youtube making fun of the horse running animation. Yeah, it's not the strongest visually from a technical perspective (the Pro patch does help) but it has a lot of passion put into the Edo period setting.

I had guessed the game would end up on criminally under-rated or "why Rise of the Ronin is secretly genius" tier lists, I just didn't think it would happen so soon.

Lest see. Rise of Ronin, shit. Nine Sols, chinese HK at home with an absolute garbage final boss that ruined the entire game, hence trash. Sonic Gen underrated? Dafuq? It sold well afik for a Sonic game. Banishers, maybe, dunno, it's an AA, heard some decent things about it, but everyone says the level design and quests are dogshit even those that praised the game which feels like a meh in my eye, one day will give it a try when cheaper. Most of them dont seem underrate at all, just very mid games and people are getting tired of mid games. They work well when we have some amazing bombastic aaa stuff, but since that shit is dry, these just ruin your mood.

Banishers is pretty damn good. I really enjoyed the demo. I want to pick it up soon.
