At this point in time, with discussions about the value of console exclusives creating so much noise, it’s worth considering what Rise Of The Ronin represents as a game that will only appear on PS5 (at least until a PC version arrives). What does Team Ninja’s game say about what a PS5 exclusive should look like in 2024?
Most prominently, it says that all exclusives are certainly not equal. Even with seven years on the clock, and with no doubt hundreds of dedicated staff having put in their share of late nights, Rise Of The Ronin is just a bit tatty around its edges. The result feels below-par next to even an old PS5 game such as Demon’s Souls. (To be fair, barely anything stands up against Bluepoint’s remake in terms of presentation.)

Bulwark: Falconeer Chronicles
Anyone familiar with the concept of kitbashing is already halfway to understanding what Tomas Sala’s open-world builder is all about.
Children Of The Sun
René Rother’s acrid revenge thriller – an action game with its limbs broken and forcibly rearranged into the shape of a spatial puzzler – is at once a bonafide original and an unlikely throwback. Cast your eyes right and you wouldn’t blink if we told you this was a forgotten Grasshopper Manufacture game from the early PS3 era (we won’t be at all surprised if this finds a spot on Suda51’s end-of-year list).

Dragon's Dogma 2
The road from Vernworth to Bakbattahl is scenic but arduous. Ignore the dawdling mobs of goblins, and duck beneath the chanting harpies that circle on the currents overhead, and even moving at a hurried clip it is impossible for a party of four to complete the journey by nightfall.
