Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Rise of Ronin are both “Western” open-world games from critically acclaimed and beloved Japanese studios that don’t usually do this kind of thing. On paper, they have a lot in common: in-depth combat systems, vast landscapes to explore, visuals that push current generation consoles to their limits, and an inherent love of cats. In fact, despite their obvious crossover appeal, they are very different beasts.
So, which one should you buy? Well, if you don’t have a PS5 yet, this question is moot because Rise of Ronin is a PlayStation exclusive. But assuming you have a PS5, which one should you buy?
