Like Way of the Samurai 4 before it, Way of the Samurai 3 isn’t much of a looker and arguably feels a touch dated when it comes to certain elements of its interface. Look past such concerns though and there’s a lot of enjoyment to be had. Generously stuffed with quirky humour, a real love for the period and more longevity than you can shake a bottle of sake at, Way of the Samurai 3 is certainly the best in the series and an easy recommendation to folks looking to lose themselves in a very different sort of adventure.
Maybe someone else will end up getting less annoyed by these problems or have better luck, but it seems that things like the potentially cheap foes, and constant half-steps into good ideas that come across as being dated, ended up being just too grating on the nerve. With some polish, a bit of redesign to smooth some rough edges over, and a better camera work, Way of the Samurai 3 might have been a great game. As-is, however, it feels like a fairly generic, dated, thing.
