Rise of the Ronin, an action RPG set in the Edo period developed by Team Ninja, is now available on PC for £40 after its successful launch on PS5. Players have reported performance issues such as fluctuating frame rates and slow-motion movement, particularly in crowded areas, which detracts from the gameplay experience. The game features layered combat mechanics and a narrative focused on the final days of the Shogunate, where players rid villages of bandits and develop connections with NPCs. Despite initial smooth gameplay, performance deteriorated during missions, leading to inconsistent experiences. While some players have enjoyed smooth gameplay, many have faced optimization issues, raising concerns about the game's overall quality and the effectiveness of an upcoming patch from Koei Tecmo to address these problems.

A fresh English translation patch has been released for the PC-98 RPG Appare-den: Fukuryū no Shō, enhancing accessibility for Western gamers. The game, originally launched in 1995, is a top-down adventure developed by Technical Group Laboratory, focusing on Gento, a general store owner in a reimagined Edo period Japan, who embarks on a quest with a cat-like companion, Benimaru, to deliver a secret scroll and thwart a world domination conspiracy. The game features engaging battle sequences, intricate character animations, and a diverse cast inspired by historical figures and Japanese folklore. The translation patch was developed by 46Okumen, known for their work on other titles, and is currently available for download in version 0.9.9. The team also plans to create a scanlation of the Japanese manual and artbook.
