After several years of developing the InFamous series, Sucker Punch Productions decided to focus on a completely new brand and rather avoid the oriental climate avoided by Western developers. The result was a game that Ubisoft fans have been waiting for for many years - a kind of Assassin 's Creed in Japan. Only in some respects even better than the saga of the never-ending secret war between the Assassins and the Templars.
In Ghost of Tsushima, we find ourselves on the titular island, in the middle of the 13th century Mongolian invasion. Already in the prologue, as one of the few local Samurai, we try to fight off a mighty hostile army and we suffer a terrible defeat. While licking his wounds, the main character, who is one of the few survivors of the massacre, faces a dilemma - to continue the noble fight and face an inevitable defeat or change the rules of the game. To sacrifice honor in the name of victory. And this dilemma is the center of this simple, yet extremely engaging story.
However, thetrue strength of Ghost of Tsushima is not the plot, but a wonderfully created piece of feudal Japan, full of plastic colors and not intrusive side activities that perfectly fit into the gameplay. The strength of the game is also an amazing combat system, offering tons of satisfaction and allowing to feel the power of Samurai steel. Ghost of Tsushima is not just a Japanese Assassin's Creed - it is the best Assassin's Creed.
