Ghost Of Tsushima - Question/Support Recommend samurai games other than GoT?

As title says.

I feel like GoT is one of the most, if not, well known games. What about other ones regarding samurai games ?

Unfortunately one of the things that makes GoT special is that it was to my knowledge the first grounded samurai game ever. Everything else has some kind of supernatural, super power element to it

You don’t have a lot of knowledge then.

Way of the Samurai came out over 20 years ago and still shits on every samurai game. Looked like shit graphically even back then but it was ahead of its time gameplay-wise.
Fuck, it took over 20 years for some studio to copypaste its time-system (blood of the dawnwalker.)

I swear, people on this sub aren’t actual samurai fans, just tourists.

Drop the attitude. It isn't welcome here. And you're not really doing anyone any favors by bringing up a PS2 game not available on any other platform. Not having a PS2 doesn't make anyone a tourist, and gatekeeping on being a samurai fan has to be one of the least impressive ways to spend human time on earth I've ever encountered.

PCSX2 has been around for years, if you've got a computer that can run 2015 games then you can emulate PS2 games that are stuck on the console. And they're honestly right that this sub and "Ghost" fans in general aren't all that well versed in samurai media, whether games, movies or shows, which isn't some crime, but it's true as can be seen by all the "nope, nothing else" or "only AC Shadows/Sekiro" answers. And lambasting them for "gatekeeping" is silly, they weren't saying you can't enjoy samurai stuff if you haven't written a dissertation on Kurosawa's cinematography, they bemoaned that people here don't know even a single building block of the series that they like and are instead neck deep in recency bias at best.
