Samurai movies are the quintessential example of theatrics over realism, death scenes are as ridicolous in tushsima as they are in those movies to me, nothing even close to how dynamic and visceral are the kill in stuff like tlou1-2, dying light, max payne 3 etc.
I just hate precanned death animation and absence of good ragdoll in any game, horizon is my past gotg and human combat was absolutely shit also thanks to this stuff, it was like shooting peas to some mannequins...and it was even more sad because killzone was fucking ace with how visceral the combat was.
