As somebody who hasn’t even played any of these games centered around a samurai protag (e.g. Ghost of Tsushima/Yotēi, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Phantom Blade Zero, Rise of Ronin, Sekiro), I must confess that I am getting very fatigued on this style of gameplay. Phantom Blade Zero, for instance, looks like an incredibly fun game!… but I feel like I’ve seen like five or six games that look just like it, having already done a good enough job.

Honestly, I won't complain about this. Before Nioh came out, I had been waiting for ages for a high quality samurai/medieval East Asia themed game. As a fan of Tenchu and Onimusha, I dearly missed this vibe and am happy to see it return.

And even if these games have similar-ish settings (ignoring that Japan and China are distinct countries/cultures), they don't really play or even feel the same. More differences to be found among them than Mario vs Kirby or Astro Bot, mechanically and thematically. Do yourself a huge favor and play Sekiro :)

Oh, I so wish we had this problem with quality 3D platforming games lol. Been wanting something on PS5 since Astro... But will get Donkey Kong on my S2
