Review: 'Ghost of Yotei' is a spectacular and soulful revenge tale
"Players are introduced to the protagonist Atsu, who survives the slaughter of her family when she's a young girl. A sword pinned her to a ginkgo tree, but she miraculously survived and escaped. Years later, she returns as a seasoned warrior having fought in the Battle of Sekigahara. Atsu has one goal in mine, the elimination of the Yotei Six, who brutally attacked her family. She wants to die, trying to kill them all."
"The follow-up to "Ghost of Tsushima" carries over many of the same concepts of the original but in a more expanded form. Players have five main melee weapons - the katana, dual katana, odachi, kusarigama and yari. The armaments each have a strength and weakness against certain blades. Dual katanas are strong against polearms while odachis specialize in taking down adversaries wielding heavy weapons. Meanwhile, the Yari excels at taking down scythe-wielding foes."
Atsu survives her family's slaughter as a child after a sword pins her to a ginkgo tree. She later becomes a seasoned warrior who fought at the Battle of Sekigahara and returns with a singular goal: eliminate the Yotei Six who attacked her family, seeking death by killing them all. Combat includes five main melee weapons—katana, dual katana, odachi, kusarigama and yari—each strong or weak against specific weapon types. Quickfire R1 tools include kunai, Metsubushi blinding powder and smoke bombs to create openings. Ranged options include the Hankyu bow, long-range Yumi, bombs and the Tangeshima musket. Weapons support both stealth and direct confrontation across the Ezo region.
