The fact Way of the Samurai isn't mentioned is a crime. Clearly a list made by someone who isn't a longtime samurai fan. Not to mention Onimusha, Samurai Warriors. But nothing can hold a candle to Ghost of Tsushima. Truly a gift from the heavens for samurai fans.

Best Samurai game so far is Ghost of Tsushima

Finished Sekiro last year and played many sword fighting games since then but I didn’t enjoyed any other game as much as I did Sekiro’ though I was aware of Ghost of tsushima but it was an ps exclusive so I never got a chance to play it but when I heard the news that it’s coming to pc.. I got really excited and finally it released. Bought it on day 1st and really enjoying it so much that I can’t even express, the open world , the combat and side quests literally everything is perfect in Ghost of Tsushima. A true masterpiece indeed

Onimusha released in 2001 is the GOAT!

Ghost of Tsushima for me will be the best. It’s the reason my dad got a PS5. The story, graphics, and gameplay will always make it one of the best games I’ve ever played. Plus it’s the first game I’ve ever finished by myself

The lack of Way of the samurai hurts

Rise of the Robin combat is nothing like Ghost, not sure why you would say that. The similarities between the games are superficial at best

Loving Ghost of Tsushima! Can’t seem to find anything as good as Sekiro tho

Best Samurai Games You Should Play list without Way of the Samurai, Onimusha or Samurai Warrior is hard to take seriously, but thanks for the recommendation

During the Bakumatsu period, the Shogun didn't "let" Westerners settle. The US just showed up with overwhelming forces and said to the shogun "You will open Japan's trade to Western powers' control, or else..." Japan was the last chessboard in the US' Western expansion. It was to become a colonial port between San Francisco and Asia. Those treaties destroyed the Japanese economy. Ultimately, the West got what it originally wanted, which was the end of the shogunate, and to turn the emperor into a super-capitalist ruling family, like the British aristocracy.

Respectfully, none of these games should be mentioned in the same breath as Ghost of Tsushima. It's one of the greatest games of all time let alone the Best Samurai Game ever.

I'm really surprised Way of the Samurai series weren't even mentioned...

Just here to throw in my love for Afro Samurai (game and anime)💯 Way of the Samurai was the first game I ever played on ps2 though

The Nioh games are definitely the best on the list for gameplay. Nothing comes close. Way of the Samurai is the best in terms of narrative choice and freedom. Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro are too restrictive in gameplay for me. Whereas Nioh and Way of the Samurai allow you to use other weapons Samurai used such as spears, Odachis etc, Ghost and Sekiro just have you using a katana so none of them really offer the true Samurai experience.

Way of the samurai needs a come back

Sekiro hit so hard for me it’s really made it hard to get into other games the same way

Way of samurai series is the best samurai games and Tenchu 2 is a best ninja game

Probably unrelated take, but as someone who has played at least half of these games. It really makes this new AC Shadows game look basic compared to these. Most of these you could choose your own way to stealth, and they even had more options for asassinations. Love these games! Especially since Yusuke was in Nioh, he just felt better in that game truly.

I already played some of the games shown : Sekiro Trek to yomi Shadow tactics Katana zero Now it's time for ghost of Tsushima❤

Skerio is masterpiece❤

You missed Way of the Samurai (1, 2 and 3), and if you consider shinobis as well like you did with Sekiro, you should include the Tenchu series and ShinobiDo (one of the most fun games I've ever played in my entire life).

Where is onimusha?

Can't believe Second Samurai on the c64 isn't mentioned 😅

I think you should of included and mentioned Kengo Master Of Bushido and Genji: Dawn of the Samurai. Genji alone should of had at least 5th or fourth on the list.

Anyone remember tenchu on PS1 and PS2 that was a good samurai type game there was another but I can't remember the name but I'd say ghost is the best ever now obviously Jin sakiiiiii

If mods are included Gekokujo total conversion mod for Mount & Blade Warband is absolutely amazing.

Sekiro combat is just too clean these perfect parries are insane🥹

way of the samurai series is littertly one of the best samurai games! atone ur sin now

Nioh 1 and 2 are incredible

I'm surprised Ninja Gaiden Series isn't on the list... It's one of the most unique and cool game's i've ever seen!

When he said "William and Hyde," for a moment I was confused. Who the hell was Hyde? Since when was there a Hyde in the game? Then it suddenly hit me....oh Hide! It's pronounced "He - day (2 syllables)" ffs.

I really like yakuza series, but i think i can't play like a dragon ishin, i got too annoyed by many random encounter who stop you in the middle of action or way. And the dialogue section is so quiet without any background music😢

i reccomend Ronin the last samurai on phone. Small budget game but i like the fight

Putting Rise Of The Ronin Above Ghost Of Tsushima Is A Crime

1. Ghost of Tsushima(must play, especially now since it's on PC too) 2. Rise of Ronin 3. Sekiro (could also be at n. 2 spot but it's debatable bc if u want flashy fighting both are great but Sekiro has more challenge go, which might not be favored by most casual players)

That was a really good intro

no Way of the Samurai series? Katana Zero is not even a samurai games. Just because the game has katana does not mean it is samurai theme

awesome list, great! guys think the new assassins creed gonna be good?? 😂😂

ghost of tsushima is the best samurai game. i already finish the game but i still play it to collect all the swords. and fully explore the whole map.

What are you talking about ... Sekiro was released before Ghost of Tsushima so how can it bear resemblance from that 🤣

No Samurai Warriors or Warriors Orochi?

Missing: Way of the samurai Samurai Warriors Nobunaga's Ambition

Where way of the samurai?

There’s a name out of this list that, I think, must be considered, Hidemitsu Samanosuke Akechi

bruhhhh another good samurai games is samurai jack battle through times which is underrated but really good it is 3rd person

Everything is good until Tsushima legendary game arrives

No Tenchu: Stealth Assassins ?!

rise of the ronin it's nioh 2 + sekiro 😁

It's funny how every game you mentioned referenced Ghost of Tsushima. In a few words, every game is good, but play Ghost of Tsushima. Which in my opinion is AWSOME

No Onimusha? Those games are amazing.

kids these days dont even know about bushido blade

No other game will beat Sekiro’s combat.

nice list bro thx 🥷🏻

ghost of tsushina its not only the the best samurai game it is THE best game ever

I'd like to say that your pronunciation of Japanese words is pretty good 😁

Genji: Dawn of the Samurai

In this list, Trek to yomi and Ghost of tsushima are the only two samurai games. The rest are anime styled soft core devil may cry, edo period just cause 3 or a strategy game.

Упомянуть все игры, где есть в названии Самурай или что-то об этом напоминающее, и не вспомнить серию WoS, да и не только ее.

Äum... You are aware that Nioh 1 started its creation BEFORE dark souls, right? Sure, dark souls released a bit earlier but... Also, the creators of Nioh also did the Ninja Gaiden games, which is what what dark souls and nioh ACTUALLY takes a lot from..

Afro samurai🔥🔥🔥

ah yes, playing as my favourite character in ni-oh "hide" of the goseek clan

I like how ghost is a 4 year game going to be five years old now. And rise of the Ronan had that much time to be perfected. But the graphics are like playing a ps3 game

Great video, but no Onimusha?! 😮

Ghost of Tsushima finally isn`t Playstation exclusive anymore scince the realease of its PC version in May 2024. See the comment in the video "another Playstation exclusive game ..." to introduce the second game after Ghost of Tsushima. Talking about samurais in video games and as a huge fan of entertaining melee combat I like the fact that I can play a samurai with a one-handed katana or one katana in each hand in Elden Ring as only an example for this special aspect.

Another upcoming games that is samurai game too called Assassin's Creed Shadows

Do you know what are similar for every western Samurai games? They all have wrong placement of katana sheath( always on the left side ) while in reality it was supposed to be on the right side, it doesn't matter if you're left handed or not because you're using both hands to wield katana

the fck is this no "Way of the Samurai" and the Shadow Tactics is more of a Stealth game so Ninjas

thanks bro

Sekiro ❤❤

Samurai Warriors is good as well

ghost of Tsushima is so much fun

I swear the only good samurai game is the ghost of Tsushima

Shouldve mentioned First Cut 😢

I liked rise of the ronin a lot too

No Shadow Fight 2/3? Otherwise, good video.

Ghost of tsumima 🎉in one word best ever 🎉

The way he pronounced "Hide" man, that's just wrong

waiting for rise of the ronin to come to PC then i can give fair assessment and comparion to tsushima

I thought Like a Dragon Ishin and Rise of The Ronin shared Historical events ? That both of their stories were inspired by the same Historical Context ? With the arriving Of European Ships and Japan opening to the world ? I did play Ishin last year and was waiting for a sale to buy Rise Of The Ronin even though i am not the biggest Japanese culture enthusiast 😊 ( Still, Yakuza is one of my favourite serie in Gaming and Yakuza 0/Like a Dragon are beyond my favourites games ever ). I am not very attached to Graphics so i wont be as critic as many have been even though i completely concieve the idea that, as a Playstation 5 exclusive, this Game Should look better than Ps4 titles ( but Playstation 4 was/is amazing with its graphics still, GOT or Rdr 2 alone proves it very much ).

they should remake the tenchu

The hell you keen the art style off the nioh series isn't appealingig looks brilliant especially give the yokai/ayakashi that are the main focus

Sengoku dynasty is also very good.

And the winner is....... Sekiro!

None of those games are true Samurai games; they're all morally dogmatic fantasy games. Samurai killed for fun, for practice, to impose fear on whoever disrespected them: they brought the heads of their kills to their superiors for awards, and often killed their own in battle and dressed them in enemy armor to justify awards. They were gangsters who evolved into a military regime. The only Samurai game that is close to the real, historically accurate experience, is Way of Samurai.

You forgot Dynasty Warriors or Warriors Orochi.

I truly hope this is constructive and not just..... well..... critical. You sort of instantly lost credibility when you got to Sekiro. Ghost of Tsushima can be like Sekiro but not the reverse. Sekiro is the older of the two. Sekiro was also GOTY. Ghost is an amazing game. It's not Sekiro, though. I feel like there's a certain amount of respect not paid. Maybe it was just a mix-up? Isn't that like the one thing a game info/ commentary can't make, though? Idk, just a few thoughts. Something to keep in mind, perhaps. I'm rooting for you

Wish i could play ghost of tsushima but im on xbox

Basically Ghost and then the rest.

What is the miniature game pls ?

It's funny how all the videos i watched of 'Like a dragon' game... Always plays like a 4 year old child.. No one plays like a real gamer.. Which makes me not play the game..😢

Jangan lupakan juga... WAY of THE SAMURAY 4 (ps3) itu juga yang terbaik

Uhm guys you can play sekiro and ghost of tsushima only and it will be enough, these games are cool af

What if Rockstar make sumurai game😊

Only Ghost Of Tsushima, the rest is rubbish. Ok, maybe except for Shogun 2, but that's a different story. The-Athenian rightly mentioned The Way of the Samurai. There used to be Bushido Blade and Kengo on PS2, but they were only fighting games with an atmosphere, although a pretty good one ;)

What is the name of this game

no battle realms and shadow run hongkong

I know it is old....but Sword of the Samurai was better than all of these. IJS

侍道を是非プレイしてください😊

Try onimusha games

PS2 samurai game win
