    The game's story is described as original and intriguing, with players expressing a desire for deeper exploration and more content. However, many reviews highlight significant issues with quest bugs, generic quest design, and a lack of effective mission tracking, which detracts from the overall narrative experience.

    • “The story is good and has you wanting to explore more and get to know the whole story.”
    • “I like the stances and blocking aspects of combat and the story is really really cool.”
    • “The game actually promised 5 chapters, covering Kenji’s story as a samurai, but this plan hasn’t been fulfilled despite 2 years of development.”
    • “The limited number of interactions, characters, and quests currently featured in [i]ro:ts[/i] make it hard to grasp the quality of the story writing or what caliber of character arc Kenji will have.”
    • “Typos and grammatical errors are rife, and some lines of dialogue, descriptions, and even quest objectives are not translated at all.”

  • graphics

    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    29% positive mentions, 50% neutral mentions, 21% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game are generally praised for their beauty and quality, with many users noting stunning visuals and a good day-night cycle that enhances the experience. However, there are criticisms regarding grainy shadows, flickering visuals, and occasional frame rate issues, particularly in the early access phase. Overall, while the graphics are appealing, there are notable bugs and areas that require improvement.

    • “Beautiful graphics and music.”
    • “The graphics in this game, before the frame rate randomly went rogue, are stunning.”
    • “- the graphics are great, there are some things to be fixed yet, but this is an early access game!”
    • “Shadows are quite grainy, even when set to epic, and there seems to be a grainy effect to the graphics as a whole, most noticeable when moving the camera quickly or looking at objects closely.”
    • “The first time this happened, the game had a complete meltdown, breaking all visuals and audio.”
    • “- all the bugs previously mentioned in graphics and languages”

  • atmosphere

    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    63% positive mentions, 12% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's atmosphere is widely praised for its beauty and immersive qualities, featuring stunning natural environments that evoke an Asian aesthetic. However, some players feel that the engaging atmosphere is undermined by frustrating combat mechanics, which detract from the overall experience. Despite its early development stage, the game's distinct areas and fitting soundtrack contribute positively to its atmospheric appeal.

    • “It's an extremely beautiful game and the atmosphere is where the game shines.”
    • “With distinctive areas like a forest of red-leaved trees and another of bamboo, 'ro:ts' first area is a beautiful and atmospheric one that's a pleasure to explore.”
    • “The soundtrack of 'ro:ts' is a nice one, with pleasant music that fits the game's atmosphere well.”
    • “The only good feature of this game is the atmosphere; while not perfect and quite similar to others, it at least gives you a grasp of some Asian ambiance, which increases motivation.”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    17% positive mentions, 33% neutral mentions, 50% negative mentions

    The gameplay in Ronin is characterized by easy-to-learn yet somewhat addictive combat mechanics, though many users find it ultimately dull and hindered by bugs. Additionally, stamina-reducing items are seen as overly punishing, negatively impacting the overall experience.

    • “Ronin has easy-to-learn but somewhat addictive combat mechanics.”
    • “Pretty dull gameplay.”
    • “Bugs & mechanics – 1 / 5”
    • “Gameplay & atmosphere – 1.5 / 5”

  • monetization

    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The monetization strategy employed by some developers is criticized for misleadingly presenting demos and advertisements as full games, which detracts from genuine titles and misuses marketing space. This practice is seen as a cheap tactic to avoid costs associated with proper game promotion, ultimately harming the gaming experience for players.

    • “As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that ads on YouTube and banner ads in your browser are.”
    • “Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time.”
    • “While it might seem like an innocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and, in some ways, harmful.”

  • stability

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability has been criticized for being unfinished and plagued by bugs for two years, leading to performance issues such as frame rate drops and sudden freezes, even on capable hardware. Players have noted that the small map size does not compensate for the time spent navigating through various glitches and missing elements, contributing to an overall disappointing experience.

    • “Unfinished and buggy for 2 years.”
    • “Optimization is ignored; in various moments and areas, even my GTX 1070 card felt spikes, sudden freezes, and low FPS.”
    • “Ronin: Two Souls just feels like a bloated, buggy, disappointing title.”

  • optimization

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    75% positive mentions, -50% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game suffers from significant optimization issues, with players reporting severe performance drops, including low frame rates and freezing, regardless of graphics settings. Many users have expressed frustration over the game's inability to run smoothly, even on capable hardware like the GTX 1070.

    • “The optimization in this game is impressive, allowing for smooth gameplay even on lower-end hardware.”
    • “I appreciate how the developers have focused on optimization, resulting in a stable frame rate and minimal lag.”
    • “The game's optimization ensures that I can enjoy a seamless experience without any noticeable performance drops.”
    • “It also seems to be poorly optimized. I don't know if it's from the new update or what, but the longer I played, the slower it got, regardless of quality settings. I gave up when it was chugging at 10 fps on both low and epic.”
    • “If you want to waste your money on a game that has no optimization, no proper combat, no animations, and bad voice acting, you're in the right place.”
    • “Optimization is ignored; in various moments and areas, even my GTX 1070 card experienced spikes, sudden freezes, and low fps.”
