Ghost of Tsushima

2020 | Action/Adventure

PlayStation 4

The year is 1274. Samurai warriors are the legendary defenders of Japan–until the fearsome Mongol Empire invades the island of Tsushima, wreaking havoc and conquering the local population. As one of the last surviving samurai, you rise from the ashes to fight back. But, honorable tactics won’t lead you to victory. You must move beyond your samurai traditions to forge a new way of fighting–the way of the Ghost–as you wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Japan.

I absolutely loved this game because of the story and side quest stories. The open world exploration for me was incredible and the game is beautiful. I found myself playing with photo mode a lot taking lots of pictures standing in fields of pretty flowers, patting cute foxes, or just standing atop a mountain taking in the amazing view. The combat in the game was fun for me and it wasn't too challenging to figure out which stances to use to gain an advantage. I liked the accessibility of the game with making the subtitles easy to read and having simplified controls. I also liked that you can easily change the difficulty settings on the game. The characters in the game are interesting and I found myself liking all of them because of their interaction with the main character Jin and getting to know them during their side story quests. I could tell where they drew inspiration from Kurosawa films like Seven Samurai and it was very well done. Ghost Of Tsushima overall is a fantastic game and I was impressed with how much thought and detail went into the game.

How Games Should Be Done
This game should have been game of the year last year. It has it all. Graphics, gameplay, story and characters. You play as Jin as he struggles to keep the code of the Samurai in order to free his clan and his family from the threat of the Mongols. The story makes you care not only about the main character but your friends that accompany you on your mission. As you embark on your journey you learn new tactics and gain charms that enhance your abilities in order to take down Khotun Kahn....the leader of the Mongol invasion. You will eventually master different sword styles and a bevy of weapons to use in your adventure. If you haven't played this game yet, then you are missing out. For any gamer this is a must play.

Sucker Punch's open-world game, set during the 13th century Mongol invasion of Japan, and in which the player takes on the role of the samurai Jin Sakai, who must go against the way of his ancestors and his training to stop said invasion.

Think Assassin's Creed (though you're not an assassin. Not that the later entries in that series had you as being one anyway ...), but without the whole Animus concept, or the underpinning Assassin/Templar conflict or the modern day elements.

It's also quite immersive with the Guiding Wind concept leading you to whatever location you had set, instead of cluttering up the screen with a HUD, and the story itself is well told.

Now to try out the Iki Island expansion ...
