May 2025
from what ive played of the series, this seems to be way of the samurai in its purest form. i might still prefer wots4 but that game is a lot more streamlined in terms of plot so its quite different. port issues aside highly recommended. theres absolutely nothing like these games. some of the best combat in any games ive played make sure you download nvidia physx drivers from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/physx/physx-9-19-0218-driver/ EVEN on an amd gpu for the game to work. set it to borderless or windowed to minimize crashes. also set your controller to be the input device from the in-game menu. its 30fps which sucks but these games are soooo worth it

Played through all the games but the 3rd is my favorite. To put it simply? I just got Kingdom Come 2 and I'm putting that off to play this. It's that good.

"WotS 3 still holds up to this day with an addictive game-play loop including 22 unique endings, satisfying sword-play and 7 unique fighting stances (8 including hands), and doesn't take itself too seriously all the time. I hope one day they would remaster WotS 1 & 2 so I could experience those all over again too... but WotS 3 is one of my favorite games of all time and has the thrill of no hand-holding to discover content by trial and error."

Groundhog day type game in feudal japan, story is actually interesting and the replayability makes it so you discover something new every time you replay, honestly i still have no idea how the skills work but its fun. I wish some systems were presented in less convoluted way, with 10 hours and 5 different endings and im still discovering new things to do. I really hope the studio picks themselves up and make wots 5 with actual resources and time but that probably wont happen
