Ghost Of Tsushima

GHOST OF TSUSHIMA developed by Sucker Punch

In the late 13th century, the Mongol empire has laid waste to entire nations along their campaign to conquer the East. Tsushima Island is all that stands between mainland Japan and a massive Mongol invasion fleet led by the ruthless and cunning general, Khotun Khan. As the island burns in the wake of the first wave of the Mongol assault, samurai warrior Jin Sakai stands as one of the last surviving members of his clan. He is resolved to do whatever it takes, at any cost, to protect his people and reclaim his home. He must set aside the traditions that have shaped him as a warrior to forge a new path, the path of the Ghost, and wage an unconventional war for the freedom of Tsushima. 

I’ve been waiting to talk about this video game because I felt it deserves special attention, and let me tell you it does not disappoint. This game manages to do the nearly impossible by pulling you into feudal Japan yet the controls are intuitive and natural. This is an RPG that all fans of the genre should pick up. The blend of combat and art have me extremely excited to see where this franchise goes next. It’s worth every penny!
