Finished the game. This was art
-I can't believe i thought Ronin's story was as good as this. Tsushima's story takes a big runny dump all over Ronin. Only thing Ronin has over Tsushima is the glider. It's the better game in just about every way imaginable
-Excellent story, excellent characters
-Gameplay is engaging and there are so many weapons to defeat the Mongols/Strawhats/bandits.
-The characters are awesome. The ideological rift between Lord Shimura and Jin was excellent. Yuna is an incredible character, especially if you do all her side missions. She’s my favorite character in the game. Jin, Yuna, Masako, Ichikawa, Taka, Kenji, Norio, Lord Shimura, Khotun Khan, Ryuzo, all great characters with depth.
-The side missions were well done as well. Learning about the people of tushima and how this war/the mongols affected them was great in fleshing out the open world.
-The mythic tales were awesome, and the storytelling and artwork for each tale was a nice touch
The only gripes i had with the game: 1. Overuse of the "tracking" element in missions. So many missions/side quests had you following footsteps to advance the story. 2. I wish you could fast travel directly to armorers, blacksmiths, trappers, etc. Some areas are large, so you spend a lot of time running around the area to find the person you're looking for. 3. Noticeable markers on enemy camps so you're not wandering around looking for items to complete objectives or civilians to free. Those are really all the gripes I have.
All in all, this is a game that every Playstation owner should come back to. It's an excellent game. Sucker Punch gave us art during the Pandemic and I'll always appreciate them for it. Now I'm just hungry for the sequel
Game is a
9.2/10 for me. Well done. I'm glad i replayed this. It was awesome 4 years ago, and it's still awesome. May even be better the second time around.
When y’all finish Wukong, go ahead and pop this one back into the rotation
