Ghost of Tsushima whisked me away to feudal Japan to provide an authentic experience that draws from samurai epics in film. Sucker Punch’s latest outing is a tour de force in many ways, and it began drawing me in from the opening cinematic.
From the clashing tamahagane-made katanas to the beautiful soundtrack, Ghost of Tsushima pulls from Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and The Hidden Fortress. These touchstones make for a delightful love-letter that kept me enamored throughout the game’s main story, and had me coming back for more long after the credits rolled.
