Ghost of Yotei

"In Atsu, we have a haunted protagonist, someone trapped between two states of being. On one hand, the warrior who wishes only to feel the splash of blood upon her face as her blade finds its home in the heart …"

"Ghost of Yōtei is a worthy sequel to the already excellent Ghost of Tsushima, building upon that game&s;s foundation with an equally interesting (albeit quite different) plot and select improvements to combat and open world exploration. It may feel a …"

"Ghost of Yotei is a vast, sprawling adventure with one of the greatest protagonists in gaming. While some dated climbing segments and a nagging sense of artificiality prevent it from reaching perfection, Sucker Punch&s;s historical RPG is a must-play revenge …"

"Ghost of Yōtei is an excellent game with an engrossing story, a great lead, deep combat and a land that has so much to discover with a lot of details. This is a truly worthy successor to Ghost of Tsushima."

"Sucker Punch&s;s sequel offers more great swordplay and heartfelt storytelling, but would be better served as a linear action game, freed of its poor sidequests and dated open world."

"Ghost of Yotei is a monumental open world graphics powerhouse driven by intense combat and an enthralling revenge story."

"While Ghost of Yotei’s tale of revenge may not cut as deep as its predecessor, Sucker Punch’s blade is still deadly. The environments of Ezo are begging to be explored, and the melee combat has never been sharper, delivering more …"

"Ghost of Yotei separates itself from the original game in all the right ways, improving and iterating on everything from combat to quest design. This is what a sequel should be. This is why we play video games."

"Sucker Punch has built a title that is a perfect harmony of every component of game development. Every aspect of its artistry, mechanics, and technology is used to the fullest in perfect balance."

"Ghost of Yōtei doesn&s;t distance itself from Ghost of Tsushima too much, but the satisfyingly blood-soaked combat, rewarding exploration and intuitive ways of immersing the player make for a highly-addictive follow-up that we couldn&s;t put down."

"Ghost of Yōtei is that rare sequel that not only maintains the essence of its highly successful predecessor, but also qualitatively leapfrogs it in just about every meaningful way and metric. Underscored by a grippingly furious tale of revenge inspired …"

"From its quiet contemplative moments, taking in the aurora borealis atop the peaks of Mount Yotei itself, to the nail-biting assaults on castles or liberating towns from Saito’s grasp, Ghost of Yotei was an excellent experience from start to finish."

"It’s captivating to behold how Ishii so empathetically switches back to a mode of glorious hate and venom at the drop of a hat without making it seem incongruous. It’s a star-making turn worthy of Atsu’s legacy."

"Ghost of Yōtei is another outstanding achievement by the team at Sucker Punch. While I didn’t love it as much as its predecessor, it is still one of the best games to launch this year. Sony continues to push the …"

"The follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima leans into its young protagonist&s;s thirst for bloody vengeance"

"The definitive wandering samurai experience."

"Ghost of Yōtei does not radically reinvent or change what worked in Tsushima, but that’s fine, because frankly, Sucker Punch nailed the mechanics the first time."

"Building on its predecessor in all the right ways, Ghost of Yotei is an incredible sequel that makes you the ruler of your experience. Player freedom drives its open world, letting you craft the type of game you want to …"

"A predictable but well-executed story takes you through Ghost of Yotei&s;s gorgeous landscapes and satisfying, fluid action – it may not be revolutionizing open world games, but it&s;s a great distillation of the samurai fantasy."

"Ghost of Yotei checks all the boxes, particularly through a main storyline that hooks you from the very first moment and continues to build powerful emotions. Despite being a story of vengeance, its many familiar moments transform it into a …"

"But, most importantly, it’s simply a ton of fun. Sucker Punch Productions has raised the bar to a seemingly insurmountable height. When it’s all said and done, people will look back at this generation and regard Ghost of Yotei as …"

"Ghost of Yotei is shaped by Atsu, its new protagonist, as you&s;re propelled on a gripping tale of revenge amidst the backdrop of Feudal Japan&s;s contrasting beauty and violence"

"This is an experience that walks, talks, and carries a customisable sword like every other triple-A game, but it looks damn good doing it, and is a lot of fun. Surely with a game like Ghost of Yotei, that&s;s all …"

"Foregoing genre-advancing substance and texture for impeccable style, Ghost of Yotei feels like a cowed shadow of its full potential. Those looking for a departure from checklist-oriented open-world gameplay will be disappointed. The title lands as generic, risk-averse, rigid, and …"

"Ghost of Yotei builds on the foundation of its predecessor and offers more polished gameplay, but its uninspired tale of vengeance drags instead of soars."

"Although Ghost of Yotei lacks a cohesive and well-executed main story, it makes up for that with its vastly improved combat and world design. It obviously doesn&s;t do anything mind-blowing for the open-world genre, but it refines nearly every aspect …"
