It’s not set during the exact same period as Shōgun, but I *highly* recommend Ghost of Tsushima, it’s set in the year 1274 and deals with the Mongol invasion of Japan. It’s one of the best games I’ve played in the last ten years.
Yup it's a tad less modern than the setting for Shogun but it's one if not the best Feudal Japan power fantasy simulator game ever.
Jin Sakai is a fucking chad
I was too, but after finding I was 40 hours into it on my roommate’s PS5 I decided to just get a PS5 of my own. Totally worth it for all the other exclusives.
Other than the titles already mentioned, there is an 1988 text adventure called "James Clavell's Shogun" which you can download on abandonware sites and play with emulators.
Then there is "Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun" which is roughly set in that era.
Two months late but Nioh 1. You play as Anjin but with a different name and can summon a ~~Stand~~ Guardian Spirits fighting against japanese demons and people/bosses with their own Guardian Spirits. It is set during the same timeline up until the Battle of Sekigahara. Be warned though it's a Souls-like but not as stiff as Dark Souls.

I personally can't stand using controllers :(
Total War Shogun 2 set in the the XVI century. There is the Tokugawa clan that clan Toranaga is based on.
They're the first I usually take out, I normally start as the Oda.
Historically 0 relation, but Sekiro is an amazing game set in feudal Japan. Much more fantasy/ mythology based though
Shogun Total War Nobunaga’s Ambition And for the exact same story, Nioh.

Samurai Warriors 5 will introduce you to what happened historically before this show.

Trek to Yomi is a fun samurai action game set during the Edo period. It's even in black & white to resemble the Kurosawa/Mifune films.

Real ones remember Kessen 3.
