I’m watching the new Shogun and wondering which games from that period (or a bit earlier) are really good. Thoughts?

    I’m not saying it’s the best and definitely isn’t some obscure title, but I really liked Ghosts of Tsushima. The combat is fun, the story is decent, and the graphics are beautiful. Good replayability with the Legends Mode, too.

    If you’re looking for a samurai game, rather than a samurai themed game. Then there’s really no question, it’s Ghosts of Tsushima. It’s the closest thing we’ll likely ever have to a Akira Kurosawa game.

      Seconded. And then for seconds you can play Fall of the Samurai while watching The Last Samurai.

    Ghost of Tsushima. PS5 only for now, but it’s coming to Steam (finally!) in May. It’s an amazing game. Great story, extremely good combat, and it looks beautiful. Plus it has a separate coop multiplayer mode that is better than some dedicated multiplayer games. Don’t skip it.

    Way of the Samurai.

    Not sure about the recent releases but the old games emulate well. Gameplay is super fun even if the writing is very anime influenced.
