Ghosts of Tsushima, forgot to specify. And I did play God of War since a kid instead. 🦄
Well, you play as a Samurai during the onset of the Mongol invasion of the Japanese island of Tsushima. While the samurai are honorable, they quickly learn that they need to adopt less than "honorable" tactics to win, with those tactics incorporating stealth, espionage, etc.
The world is vast in this game; I think bigger than Horizon Zero Dawn. Also, the combat is very fast and fluid, with the opening of combat letting you do a Kurosawa film-like Iaidō to initiate against your enemy. You also have different weapon stances: speed, power, agility, for example.
Also, if you play with the Japanese Audio, the voice actor for Jin (main character) is Zoro's Seiyuu, Kazuya Nakai.:cheers:
They aren't actual Ninja, though.
