![]() By sacrificing accuracy in places, Sucker Punch delivered an action packed, story driven game with satisfying and varied combat. In fact, the reason why they didn’t use historical figures was out of respect and instead opted to create fictional characters. In an interview with Game Informer, Nate Fox (director) clarified that while the game is entirely grounded in reality, they did not want to rebuild Tsushima Island. Samurai during this period did not wield katana in the way that is presented in Ghost of Tsushima, one man did not save the island from the Mongols and many of these characters are not real to name a few. ![]() Now before you think “Well actually” and start the Google search, I am more than aware of the historical inaccuracies. As the sole survivor of the battle at Komoda Beach, Jin must enlist the help of unlikely allies, save his uncle and bring down the Mongols before they reach the mainland of Japan. Jin Sakai, the nephew and ward of Lord Shimura, is severely injured but dragged away from the battlefield by a thief named Yuna who nurses him back to health. Lord Shimura is captured by the Mongolian leader, Khotun Khan, while the other samurai have been slaughtered. Led by their jitō, Lord Shimura, the samurai of Tsushima join together to fight back against the Mongols but are dealt a crushing defeat. Set during the late 13th century, Tsushima Island is attacked by a Mongolian fleet. Ghost of Tsushima is the first game that I have ever earned a platinum trophy in and I’ve also tried my hand at writing some haikus, so I hope you enjoy! Sucker Punch Productions created a beautiful game that has kept me engrossed and entetained from start to finish. In its final year before the release of next gen consoles, the PlayStation 4 has seen some of its finest work yet. It is, however, safe to say that when Ghost of Tsushima first appeared on my radar back in 2017 that my excitement levels were through the roof. I was waiting for an Assassin’s Creed game to be set in feudal Japan for years but the franchise has continued to let me down. I can appreciate FromSoftware and what their games bring to the table I am just not good at playing them. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice came out last year and I was very close to buying it until I began to feel a creeping sense of dread crawling up my spine. All images taken using the in game photo mode
