Hands up if you're just happy to have lots of cool Samurai and Shinobi games without the need to compare them

Where Ninja Gaiden

I'm not gonna dunk on stuff others likezbut personally, Sekiro's really been the only samurai/shinobi game I've liked.

I don't think comparisons are bad per se. The problem is when people get overly defensive of objective flaws in games, or the opposite where people compare super subjective aspects of games to one another where a comparison just doesn't make sense. Like, comparing Sekiro to Ghost of Tsushima, except for the setting which may be seen as similar, just doesn't make sense since they try to accomplish completely separate things and have vastly different gameplay
