This review examines Ghost of Yotei, a polished iteration of Ghost of Tsushima, albeit with a stumbling central plot.
Published on October 15, 2025, Ghost of Yotei boasts one of the strongest openings in recent AAA games, starting in medias res with protagonist Atsu on her quest for vengeance.
The game's tutorial pulls double duty as the first major boss fight, setting the benchmark for the game.
Developer Sucker Punch aims to create a richer and more ambitious sequel, but unfortunately, it falls short, leaving disappointment in the line of Sony's prestige in-house style games, including God of War: Ragnarok and Until Dawn 2024.
Author's summary: A polished yet flawed Ghost of Tsushima sequel.
