Ghost tsushima He was one of the last big exclusions that started on PS4 in 2020, just months before the release of PS5. Although it is not the first game in the open world of samurai, it certainly did a lot of new things and the fans were excited about each other. Behind the port of PS5 and Sucker Punch, he quietly dreamed of continuing, The spirit of yotei, And five years later it is finally here.
Ghost yotei It takes hundreds of years after the original, so fans can give up the hope of a portrait of Jin Sakai. Although it is not a huge jump forward, there are things that this sequel does better than Ghost tsushimaLet's get into it.
Weapons
More ways to kill
IN Ghost tsushimaJin could learn to use bows and control Katana, which players wanted to see the most of the game with the open world of samurai. In the continuation of ATSU can learn to control a wider range of melee weapons. One early example in Ghost yotei It includes dual catanans that are great against spears.
There are several other new weapons and the discovery of each of them is a fun surprise that is not worth spoiling. The effectiveness of one weapon against another is also an improvement compared to the original, because players have to use more strategies in the fight than to rely on fighting or hacking and jumping away.
Throwing a weapon
Improvisation samurai
In addition to the new weapons that ATSU can equip, enemies also drop their weapons in combat. Players can then pick up discarded weapons such as Katanas or Spears, and throw them on enemies. Enemy bases will often have weapons on stands that players can pick up if they want to be more film killing in their secret killing without using a bow.
The ability to throw a weapon Ghost yotei He's just fine and it's something that many games in the open world are struggling with when it comes to fighting. Why can't players pick up enemy weapons and use them? This question has been asked many times, and although it would be more absorbing to let the players lift any weapon and temporarily use it Ghost yoteias in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WildThe mechanic of throwing the weapon is still appreciated.
Reflection on memories
Get deeper into the past heroes
Ghost tsushima He had some flashbacks represented by Jin to show his family bonds growing, but there were little and far between them. IN Ghost yoteiThere are more flashbacks to reveal and most of them are optional. If players want to dive into the past of ATSU, they can.
This will usually be done in the ATSU house, where players can hold trackpad and run around ATSU as a child and do small mini-ques. There are several examples in the rest of the world Ghost yotei Also, including watching horses with your father.
Flexible structure of the main mission
Go after yotei six
After a short set of tutorials, the world opens quite quickly. Players can roam around Ghost yoteiBalance different statistics such as health, solution of side tasks or go after the main missions. Players cannot directly kill all the remaining members of Yotei Six, but at least they have to choose who they have to deal with first.
Giving players a choice in the main missions is a big improvement Ghost tsushimaAlthough there were also opportunities for branching in the first game. In a game with an open world, the more options players have to think of their own story, the better.
More sections of the platform
The opportunity to drink in an environment
Achieve the location of upgrade in Ghost yoteiLike altars of reflection to learn skills, players often have to skip several hoops. This may include sections of platforms such as jumping between branches, climbing walls or swinging on the ATSU hook.
The first game also had a platform section, but also Ghost yotei He has more of them. Often they can be more fun and interactive than the fight and give the game a nice change of pace if players want a challenge and a break from the bloodshed.
Your wolf companion
Become an animal master
Players could watch foxes and birds Ghost tsushima You want to find cold places, but animals have never come to Jin's help in battle. This is different in The spirit of yotei, Because ATSU has a wolf companion.
This wolf will not always follow the players at first, but doing more wolf tasks can balance the functionality of Wolf and make him more. For example, the performance of the Wolf is a great game function. It is just another combat element that makes this sequel absorbing as a samurai game.
Quickly travel
Stunning success on PS5
PS5 is a much stronger console than PS4, which is what Ghost tsushima Originally run. The PS5 Port first games upgraded some features, including better loading times but Ghost yotei It was built from the ground up to PS5. This means that there are virtually no load time and the savings are fast and easy.
One good example includes a fast travel system that is a quick flash. Also, virtually every place where players travel, from cities on the altar of reflection, will allow players to travel quickly to them. Games in an open world with fast travel systems could learn something or two out of Ghost yotei.
