Ghost of tsushima characters11/10/2022 ![]() ![]() There are different armor options and charms that apply modifiers to your stats. ![]() To inflict further damage, you’ll also have to make use of the 4 different stances the game offers, with each being tailored towards a particular type of enemy. The subtleties of each enemy type requires you to balance parrying, dodging, and striking to ensure you maximize your potential in combat. You start off with normal Mongol grunts, and eventually come to hulking beasts caked in more armor than that man collecting the money from an ATM…also wielding some form of ye olde rocket launcher. ![]() The foes that Jin will find himself picking out of his hair come in different varieties. It’s not exactly game-breaking, but for a game with so much polish in some areas, it was just a bit disappointing. I’m not sure if this is a glitch? Or if it’s an intentional way of making navigation easier? Regardless, it wasn’t the only instance of this as there were many occasions in which characters would be inside ‘solid’ objects. Although, some collision detection issues undermine this achievement a tad as very early on in the game I was able to dash through a forest of bamboo…no, quite literally. That’s right, a fully functioning horse that moves perfectly and isn’t reduced to a pool of concrete the second it clips a twig. If that doesn’t sound enticing enough, then the prospect of the greatest video game horse in history should only sweeten the pot. ![]() The game definitely doesn’t shortchange you in the arsenal department. It looks badass, and you feel like the Ninjanator. And later on in the game, you’ll unlock a devastating ability, fueled by a power meter, that wrecks havoc on everyone and it’s an exhilarating rush. If that’s not your cup of herbal tea, then a smorgasbord of goodies await you: kunai, explosives, different bows, blowpipes, and even sticky bombs are just some of the weapons you’ll be able to use to your advantage. Your combat options do inevitably increase with stealth incorporating itself into proceedings. The game spares no expense in the gore department as the crimson constantly flows with every surgical slice of the skin. There is a lot of freedom with how you can approach the game, and there’s enough resources to warrant you taking either approach.įull-frontal combat is fast and fluid, which is an apt description as you’ll be going to donate blood with the amount you’ve collected from your enemies. But it can also be very subdued and calculated. The action can be pulsating and leave you clutching onto your controller with every lunge at your person and every arrow that whistles past your ear lobe. Gameplay – A Ghost Amidst The ShadowsĬlimbing and ropes are some of the ways you can manipulate your environmentįor a game to be geared so heavily towards Samurai’s and their culture, you better have a great combat system to justify this, it’s safe to say that Ghost of Tsushima has passed admirably in this department. Overall, the story gets plenty of screen time and is played out in a variety of cutscenes to further emphasize the story and its continuous developments. Additionally, Khotun Kahn is a stunning villain, he is absolutely detestable and perfect fodder for Jin’s heroic tendencies. I even found Jin’s trusty companion – Yuna – to be an even more compelling character than Jin himself. Jin’s accompanied by several sidekicks, each with their own memorable adventures that Jin partakes in. It’s a fascinating story that wrestles between good and evil, has some notable twists, and most importantly, it delivers. This becomes one of the recurring details in the plot as Jin’s aspersion towards the Samurai’s noble laws becomes evident and causes trouble. But the understated notion becomes paramount and spotlighted more as the game goes on. Is he prepared to sacrifice his honor and integrity? Betray the ethics of the Samurai’s sacred code? The idea is actually quite rushed early on, understandably to allow the player access to the gameplay options implemented. However, his quest to save his uncle and his people comes at a price. The story is very much a coming-of-age tale that sees Jin become a great fighter. ![]()
