PS2 Underrated Gem: Way of the Samurai
1,106This is a series of gameplay vids I'm doing highlighting overlooked games for the PS2.
Way of the Samurai is another one that never gets much mention despite being a really good game. It's a samurai adventure game, and it's hard to completely explain.
Do you remember those old choose your own adventure books? No, well in those books, you got to make your way though them by choosing what the next actions of that character were. They'd give you a choice, and you choose it, and depending on what you chose, your outcome would be different. It's the same concept with the way Way of the Samurai plays. The game is relatively short, but you never play through it the same way twice. It's got the whole ground hogs day thing going for it too where you'll have to play through it over and over again, but it'll still take you quite a while to see everything the game has to offer.
what may turn some people off to this game is that you only get to save at certain points, and there's no reloading your data. It actually deletes it once you load it, so you have to play until you either beat it, or you die.
That being said, you keep all the swords, and earned abilities that you get throughout the game when you start back at the beginning next time, so it makes things easier as you go along.
It's a really unique game that puts a really unique twist on things. I wholeheartedly suggest it to anyone.
Way of the Samurai is only on the PS2.
It also has a PS2 sequel Way of the Samurai 2.
