Ghost of Yotei Review - Same Sword, Sharper Edge
"Countless other reviews have said exactly the same thing: Ghost of Yotei is a safe sequel. It's just more Ghost of Tsushima. It's such a rote, generic piece of analysis, isn't it? Pah. I pity those fools who lack my ability to write...er, good. And yet...well, it's completely true. Ghost of Yotei really is a safe sequel, and it really is just more of the same, albeit improved in almost every way."
"Set a few hundred years after the events of the first game, Ghost of Yotei is a sequel that can be played and enjoyed by people who never wielded a katana against the Mongol hordes in Ghost of Tsushima. There are, of course, some links to the previous game, but they are minimal. That gives new protagonist Atsu space to shine, free from the shadow of Jin Saikei, but sadly not free from the shadow of her own traumatic childhood."
Ghost of Yotei is a PlayStation 5 action-adventure sequel set a few hundred years after Ghost of Tsushima. The game can be enjoyed standalone by newcomers while retaining minimal links to the original. Protagonist Atsu returns home sixteen years after a brutal childhood massacre to hunt the Yotei Six and pursue revenge. The narrative follows her transformation into an Onryo and unfolds through cutscenes as she confronts each member. Gameplay and presentation largely mirror Ghost of Tsushima but introduce improvements across systems and design. Fans of the original will find familiar mechanics refined; players who disliked the original may not find new appeal.
