Team Ninja’s Rise of the Ronin launched with generally favorable reviews last month, though some were less positive than others (check out ours here). Nevertheless, in its financial results for the fiscal year ending March 2024, Koei Tecmo reports that sales are surpassing its Nioh series.
What We Played #649 – Rise of the Ronin, Isonzo & Immortals of Aveum
12.04.2024 - 13:47 / thesixthaxis.com / New Beginning
It’s Friday! And with Friday comes a look back at all the games we’ve played this last week. I’ve been hammering Unicorn Overlord, which might just be the best game of the year, while I also spent a bit of time sobbing over the Wii U and 3DS being fully put out to pasture. Beyond that there’s been a lot of Party Animals during the school holidays, and a spot of New Star GP to round things out.
Tuffcub has been playing Destiny 2. Obviously. He’s also had a look at what is coming for it, and feels pretty positive about it’s future. He was also more than pretty positive that you should be watching the new Fallout TV show, so any Amazon subscribers should check that out. He’s also played Helldivers 2 and Cult of Lamb, “which is rather fun and a bit silly.”
Nick P has spent most of his week with Rise of the Ronin, saying “It’s just brilliant!”. Besides that, it’s been a little bit of Helldivers 2, Dead by Daylight and Street Fighter 6, with a brief trip to London to play Topspin 2K25!
It was a bit more of Dragon’s Dogma 2 for Gamoc, without his pawn going off on a murder spree this week, as well as a bit of Suicide Squad and Immortals of Aveum from PS Plus. He wasn’t that impressed, saying, “The EA magic FPS that a dev claimed people didn’t give enough of a chance? Well I gave it enough of a chance and it’s almost universally mediocre, other than Gina Torres, who is always great and manages to be pretty engaging in what is otherwise profoundly meh. The motion capture is pretty good too though.”
Ade agreed, also saying that Immortals of Aveum on PS Plus was “painfully mediocre”, so he continued with Hi-Fi Rush instead; “which is brilliant”. He’s also started on Tales of Kenzera: ZAU for review, and you can check out his preview very soon this afternoon!
Aran played Klonoa and got bored, played Need for Speed Unbound and got bored. In an effort to not be bored he returned to Starfield and is enjoying exploring space at his own pace.He says, “I’ve surveyed a few systems now including the Solar System. Next step is to upgrade my ship.”
Continuing on his adventure through the Fallout-adjacent STALKER: Legends of the Zone Trilogy, Jim told us, “It’s incredibly grim, and definitely showing its age almost two decades after its original release, it’s been an intriguing delve into the series that has me excited for STALKER 2.” On the complete opposite of the tone spectrum, he’s been playing Disney Speedstorm on both mobile and PS5 – “I’m a sucker for kart racers and it’s been way too long since we had a Mario Kart 8 contender – Speedstorm may not be good enough to dethrone the genre’s current king but it has been a great diversion.”
Steve has played through the rest of Outcast: A New Beginning saying, “It is the right

TikTok’s biggest creators imagine what would happen if the app went away
TikTok creators can’t seem to escape a maelstrom of policy and security concerns lately. On Wednesday, President Joe Biden signed a $95 billion national security package into law. Nestled inside it was the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act, which gives TikTok parent company ByteDance 270 days to sell the platform or cease operations in the United States. Policymakers maintain that the bill is not a “ban,” but a way to get the China-based ByteDance to divest from TikTok. The battle over TikTok could play out in the courts for far longer than the roughly nine-month window before the deadline, but the uncertain future of the app has kicked up a fervor among its many creators, who depend on it for community, connection, and their livelihoods.
