You'll love the duels on Ghost if you're looking for something cinematic, hell even just roaming about is an experience in itself

Total War: Shogun 2 is good if u like total war games

Way of the Samurai some heat too, not a big budget series ( not even an average budget tbh ) but it does things no other samurai game does, i’d still recommend playing the games

Man I wish this was on console. Been fiending for a true samurai strategy game. On ps5 though.

Sekiro

This may be the one man. Everything about it sounds perfect. Im like halfway through cyberpunk. I may put it down until they update it for next gen and then start GOT.

You play both?

In all seriousness I would’ve got GOT if they had it for pc

I used to play squad stealth games as a kid, so I was instantly into it.

the game is supposed to be a spiritual successor to a very, very niche subgenre i.e. Desperadoes, Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood, and the classic Commandos games.

it's a stealth game that is basically a puzzle. imo, the tutorial is w/e. the missions get better and better as you continue, and you can get really immersed in the gameplay. the story's pretty cool too. the only really thing that gates new players is how hard the game is.

Way of The Samurai series
Tenchu series
Samurai Warriors series

Not related to this thread @op but if u haven’t played Shadow Of The Colossus remake yet than that should be a priority above every other game

all of those are good games.

imo Nioh is harder than sekiro.

ninja gaiden black

Sekiro

GOT is not real open world or an RPG lol it’s s***ty Ubisoft open world, so it’s really nothing like Witcher 3

I bought a ps4 to play last of us 2, God of War, and GOT...it was worth it tbh

Damn no Nioh love

I seen Nioh 2 hitting Steam next year, so I'mma try out 1 before then

lol yeah it also was pretty hard. you convinced me to try it out again though

sekiro

Ghost of tsushima > Sekiro

I have, slightly prefer Origins over Valhalla ngl

GoT you actually feel like a samurai. Draws heavy inspiration from Kurosawa films and westerns and stays faithful to the aesthetic. It gives you lots of incentive to play more ninja-like with lots of assassin type tools but I had so much fun just approaching every enemy head on like a samurai.

Visuals are phenomenal and while the gameplay is similar to AC I find it does pretty much everything better.

I’m a huge dark souls fan and have played all of them since 2013 when I copped DS1, and frankly I’ve yet to get further than 2 hours into Sekiro.
