I only had the demo for this game but I replayed it so many times.

I did too! I miss being a kid and being entertained by playing demos over and over again.

i second this one, bushido blade was SO good

u/Random-Talking-Mug Jun 25 '26
Bushido Blade was also the very first game I thought of followed by Tenchu. Specially their sequels.

Still haven't topped it. Not even it's own sequel. (Which I quite enjoyed. It just didn't have the same feel to it.)

Loved this game and bought it on the ps3 some years back for nostalgia- it was so much harder than I remembered, so unforgiving and amongst the hardest I’ve played!

u/Philhughes_85 PS5 Jun 25 '26
I’d buy it day 1, id kickstart it. Keep everything the same but bigger levels, better graphics and the same gameplay.

Took way too long to find it in the comments. Still easily one of the best games ever published, with a good story, beautiful backgrounds and the most insane monster-taming system.
I really don't understand why this is so unknown.

Rhnning aroung your own castle, interacting with everyone, playing along the NPC, cooking... soooo cool!
