Rise of the Ronin is full of action and adventure. The game is set in late-19th-century Japan, which was a bubbling cauldron. With different factions fighting for superiority, it is up to the players to decide who comes out on top. Some of their choices won't have a drastic impact on the story, but they may impact how a certain NPC behaves toward them.

But there will be certain instances where players will have to make bigger calls, such as deciding whether a person lives or dies. In addition to its intriguing story, the combat is top-notch as well. However, the game isn't too big. It will take players 30–40 hours to complete all the content. Players who want to focus on just the main story can take a look at this guide to find all the main missions in Rise of the Ronin.
