Nioh
If you want a game like Ghost of Tsushima, hit Nioh first. Set in 1600s Japan and featuring an Irish sailor and a samurai, this action RPG was released in 2017. While the story features a number of supernatural elements, the gameplay isn’t particularly challenging – more like soul fighting.
Way of the Samurai
The Way of the Samurai series is definitely the very best video game experience placing you in Ronin’s shoes. The original game release allowed players to experience ancient Japan as a ruthless samurai.
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty
Wo Long: Fallen Dynasty is another good action RPG game. It may be in another universe, but the game takes a few key mechanics from Ghost of Tsushima. Wo Long is an epic, folklore-infused adventure that should keep you entertained if you want a challenge.
Dark Souls Series
And speaking of FromSoftware titles, for Ghost of Tsushima fans, there is also the Dark Souls series. While the combat is more grounded and weighted than samurai action, the sense of exploration and mastering difficult situations is also satisfying.
Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
To all the ones that like Ghost of Tsushima’s open world feel, the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is for you. It’s a fantasy world, but the depth of the map, the amount of quests and the cinematic storytelling can all scratch that same itch. Plus, the swordplay and accidental encounters with fantastical creatures bear many similarities to the samurai experience.
Dragon’s Dogma Series
Another open world action RPG providing related combat and exploration is the Dragon’s Dogma series. As the Arisen, you’ll explore a monster-plagued world full of custom AI pets (called Pawns). The challenging boss fights and party control aspect of Ghost of Tsushima may appeal to Ghost of Tsushima fans.
Elex Series
The Elex series is also worth checking out for those wanting a full body experience without much handholding. Set in a brutal post-apocalyptic world, these games put you directly into action – requiring you to get around hazards and make difficult choices. It may be set in a different universe than Ghost of Tsushima but the sense of exploration and brutality may satisfy a similar craving.
Whether you want a soul-like challenge, a classic samurai duel or just an open world to lose yourself in, these games like Ghost of Tsushima will keep you busy.
