Show Full Description

Way of the Samurai 4 takes place in the humble port town of Amihama during the mid 19th Century, several years after the arrival of the “black ships” from the West ended Japan’s long history of cultural isolation. Amihama’s downtown area has slowly been converted to a “Little Britain,” complete with European-styled buildings, occupied by an influx of adventurous foreign settlers. Not everyone welcomes these new residents though, and three distinct factions with opposing ideals begin to take shape.

60 / 100

An open-world samurai adventure with an interesting structure and a lot of personality that is, unfortunately, not very good.

9 / 10

A must-have samurai sandbox title for those who treasure player agency and reactive narrative above high-level production values. WotS 4's absurdist videogame take on Yojimbo is surreal, funny and magnificent.

6 / 10

It lacks polish, but the freedom found in this samurai adventure may be worth a look.

3.5 / 5.0
