There are many video games released exclusively in Japan, purely because they just don't appeal to and aren't catered towards the Western audience. Occasionally, a few of those games creep through the net and score a Western publisher - Way of the Samurai 3 is one such game. It focuses solely on Japanese culture, specifically around the time of the Sengoku period and it encourages players to find their own way through this ancient civilization, with very little guidance.
From GameWatcher: "If you can bear with us here, Way of the Samurai 3 is actually the next entry in the series for PC, whilst also being the predecessor to Way of the Samurai 4 which released late last year, with both games being ported from Sony’s crusty PS3 console thanks to Japanese curio specialists Ghostlight. Cast as a half-dead samurai on the losing side of battle who awakens in its aftermath, Way of the Samurai 3, much like all the other games in the series thus far, is an affair which prides itself on almost boundless player choice whilst imbuing it all with a distinctly Japanese sense of humour."
