The Spirit of the Samurai Reviews
The Spirit of the Samurai is a visually stunning game that blends Soulslike combat with Metroidvania exploration, featuring impressive stop-motion visuals and moments of gameplay brilliance, but its limited field of view, occasionally frustrating combat, and technical issues may deter those seeking a flawless, easy experience, while fans of stylish action-platformers willing to embrace some challenges will find it worthwhile.

The Spirit of the Samurai is a game full of great ideas that, unfortunately, fail to shine due to poor execution. The game is held back by terribly unresponsive controls, poorly implemented enemy AI, and developer promises that fall far short of expectations. These shortcomings, among others, ultimately make it difficult for me to recommend this game.
The Spirit of the Samurai is the most incredible Metroidvania title I have ever played, featuring amazing stop-motion animation, fantastic storytelling with horror elements, and fun combat—all coming together to create a game you’ll easily love as much as I do.
