Way of the Samurai 3

Amazing game with over 20 endings and story lines that can be experienced with weapon creation and accessory editors that really let you run around in the MOST insane ways. You get a partner which is really just a follower but how far can you "push" that follower? Will they live with you? It's up to you. GREAT GAME! 8/10 GIVE IT A PLAY and LIKE IT!!! lol.

This game is so addicting, as an enjoyer of the past two Way of the Samurai games, this one is just as addicting. I don't like how this game is locked at 30, and the pc port requires some fixing up, but the fact that its on steam, and on sale for under 6 Australian dollars is a no brainer, one of the best samurai games ever made, I love the Choose your own adventure type system, with a bunch of side activities to do, I also love the combat system, its not just hack and slash button spamming, It requires commitment and intention, same with the weapon system, tons of different weapons to find that you can upgrade, and even build your own with various parts, So many different endings, so much customisability and unlockables, this is a game i will be playing for a while, might even revisit the PS2 classics.

⚔️ Freedom, Steel, and a Whole Lot of Endings! "Way of the Samurai 3" is a unique action-adventure game that drops you into feudal Japan and tells you to write your own story. You play as a wandering ronin who wakes up wounded in a battlefield, and from there, everything is up to you. Do you help the local villagers, side with corrupt lords, or betray everyone just for fun? The game doesn’t hold your hand, and that’s part of its charm. There are over 20 endings, and each playthrough can be wildly different depending on your choices. Combat is fast and flashy, with dozens of swords and styles to master. You can disarm enemies, forge your own weapons, and even learn new moves by watching others fight. It’s rough around the edges, though, especially in terms of controls and animations. The visuals are dated, even by late 2000’s standards, but they have a certain charm that fits the setting. Voice acting is a mix of dramatic and hilarious, sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. The world feels small at first, but as you explore, it opens up with more characters, secrets, and quests. It’s one of those games that rewards curiosity and replaying more than brute force. The freedom is incredible, letting you kill anyone, join any faction, or just wander around fishing. But that same freedom can also feel confusing, especially if you're new and don’t know where to start. Still, if you like games that let you mess around and shape the world with your decisions, this one’s a gem. It’s not polished like big AAA titles, but it has soul, creativity, and replay value for days. "Way of the Samurai 3" might not be for everyone, but for fans of sandbox storytelling and samurai drama, it’s a cult classic worth discovering.

Such a good game. Never played it before, saw it on sale and thought "What the hell, I like samurai." Now I am 33 hours in and I do not want to stop until I have done every ending. The game is fast to beat, but simply getting the credits to roll is not finishing this game. You basically reincarnate and start a new game, keeping your skills, yen, weapons, and partner. There is a true ending, and it is good, but really you want to see them all. I definitely recommend it. Great writing, great characters, great combat, great game.
