I originally expected a remake of one of Sucker Punch\u2019s older intellectual properties, like <em>Sly Cooper<\/em>, or perhaps a reboot of <em>inFAMOUS<\/em>. Instead, the studio announced a standalone samurai game set in the same universe as <em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em> captured the essence of what players wanted from an <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed<\/em>\u2013style game set in Japan. When it launched in 2020, it received generally positive reviews, with some calling it one of the best samurai games released in decades. Five years later, just months after the long-awaited <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em> &#8212; also set in feudal Japan &#8212; was released, <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em> arrives as the latest take on the open-world samurai action-adventure formula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Set 400 years after the events of <em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>, <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em> shifts the focus to the northern region of feudal Japan &#8212; Ezo, now known as Hokkaido. This time, you\u2019re not fighting against invaders as in <em>Tsushima<\/em>. Instead, <em>Yotei <\/em>tells the tale of Atsu, a warrior on a vengeful quest to hunt down the six outlaws known as the Yotei Six, who murdered her family. Sounds familiar, right? If you\u2019ve played <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed Shadows<\/em>, you\u2019ll notice that Naoe\u2019s story bears a striking similarity to Atsu\u2019s in <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Narratively, <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em> isn\u2019t groundbreaking. A family is murdered, a surviving member seeks revenge, and the story ends with a lesson. The plot is predictable at best, with character fates relatively easy to guess. However, it didn\u2019t disappoint me. I found myself enjoying the emotional angles, solid writing, and moments of self-reflection &#8212; things I felt <em>The Last of Us Part II<\/em> lacked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In games like these, characters matter to tell a really great story, even if it&#8217;s predictable. Atsu is a cold, dedicated, and ruthless character. Her only goal is to strike down all the members of the Yotei Six to avenge her family. She&#8217;s strong-willed, consumed by anger. While she&#8217;s mostly stoic, the performance of Erika Ishii is undeniably strong. You can feel how soulless her character can be when Atsu confronts her targets, but you also feel the pain behind the voice. I also wanted to praise the actor behind Lord Saito &#8212; Feodor Chin, who also voiced Zenyatta from <em>Overwatch<\/em>. While Saito is not as brutal and unforgiving as Khotun Khan, he&#8217;s driven by the goal of ruling Ezo and preventing the Shogun&#8217;s rule from spreading in the northern part of feudal Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-1.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Captured in Quality Mode on PS5 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While I can\u2019t provide deeper story details due to embargo restrictions, what makes <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em> stand out is its refined, exemplary combat system. It feels more satisfying when fighting enemies and perfectly parrying an incoming strike before countering with a deadly blow. It\u2019s the same exhilaration I get from <em>Batman Arkham<\/em> and<em> Star Wars Jedi<\/em>. That same adrenaline runs strong in <em>Yotei<\/em>, especially since enemies are deadlier on Medium difficulty. Even after studying their attack patterns, the unpredictable follow-up strikes from different angles kept combat challenging and fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In <em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>, Jin Sakai relied on different stances to counter enemy types. In <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em>, Atsu instead gains access to a variety of weapons &#8212; from the traditional Katana to the Kusarigama. Sound familiar again? Yes, because many of these weapons also appear in <em>Assassin\u2019s Creed: Shadows<\/em>. But what sets <em>Yotei <\/em>apart is how they\u2019re implemented. These weapons essentially replace the stance system from <em>Tsushima<\/em>. The Katana is versatile and balanced, particularly when upgraded. The Dual Katana excels against enemies wielding Naginatas or Yaris. The Kusarigama can break shields, while the Yari is effective against Kusarigama and Dual Katana users. Finally, the Odachi, a massive longsword, is ideal for brutes. In your hunt for the Yotei Six, you\u2019ll carry all five melee weapons. In addition, you also have your standard bow, heavy bow, and the new tanegashima matchlock rifles, which unlock later in progression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Atsu isn\u2019t a Mary Sue. She begins skilled only with the Katana, and unlocking new weapons requires completing side quests that showcase her undergoing proper training. It\u2019s not as simple as talking to the weapon master and instantly gaining the skill. Each quest reveals an interesting subplot &#8212; the weapon master\u2019s history, why they stopped teaching, and their personal struggles. This aspect of <em>Yotei <\/em>is one of my favorites, as it adds weight and depth to every new piece of gear you acquire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond weapons, Atsu also has a trusted protector lurking in plain sight &#8212; the wolf introduced at the start of the game. The wolf acts as a unique companion but doesn\u2019t appear regularly until you unlock a perk that allows you to summon it. Before that, it occasionally saves Atsu from death, serving almost like an instant revive when you\u2019re on the brink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Stealth, however, still leaves much to be desired. While there are new tools to help you escape when spotted, stealth overall feels underwhelming. There are no stealth-only missions, and even if your companion suggests taking a quiet approach, getting caught won\u2019t restart the quest. That said, sometimes not opting for stealth can be punishing, as alerting enemies will bring an entire camp down on you. Some perks help &#8212; like faster, quieter assassinations or chaining kills against multiple nearby enemies &#8212; but the system still feels lacking. Don\u2019t get me wrong, stealth works, just not as effectively as I wanted it to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Captured in Ray Tracing Pro on PS5 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At its core, <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em>\u2019s combat is still <em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>. Quick light attacks and slower, heavy strikes return, along with unblockable-but-parryable blue glints and unavoidable red glints. New to <em>Yotei <\/em>is the yellow glint, which disarms Atsu on contact. Once disarmed, you can\u2019t block attacks and must dodge until reclaiming your weapon. On top of that, you can now grab and throw enemy weapons. These additions make combat more engaging, forcing you to stay reactive and sharp during encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The progression system has also been reworked. Instead of grinding quests to gradually fill a progress meter, Atsu now instantly earns Technique Points (TP) by discovering Altars of Reflection. These TPs can also be used to upgrade your individual weapon skills. This encourages exploration and cuts down on the grind-heavy progression of <em>Tsushima<\/em>. Sucker Punch went further here, streamlining ability progression and rewarding players who explore the nooks and crannies of Ezo with meaningful upgrades, all while letting them appreciate the beauty of the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As expected from an open-world Sucker Punch game, <em>Ghost of Yotei <\/em>is breathtakingly beautiful. Ezo\u2019s landscapes are stunning, capped by the imposing Mount Yotei. Trees, flowers, and grass sway naturally in the wind, delivering a visual feast on par with Tsushima. If you were blown away by the beauty of Ghost of Tsushima, Yotei delivers the same awe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226435\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-3.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Captured in Quality Mode on PS5 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ezo isn\u2019t just scenic &#8212; it\u2019s full of activities. Returning side content includes Tales and Myths. While they don\u2019t directly impact the main story, they reward players with new gear, weapon kits, or coins. They also flesh out the world\u2019s lore, from cursed masks to heartfelt memories of Atsu\u2019s father. Tales and Myths in <em>Yotei <\/em>is every bit as engaging as those from <em>Tsushima<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There was one that stood out the most &#8212; the side quest to face Takezo the Unrivaled. It took me 3 hours to beat such a formidable samurai on top of Mount Yotei. The fight was so intense that I had to turn off the in-game music, open Spotify, and play &#8220;The Way of the Sword&#8221; by Hans Zimmer from the film, <em>The Last Samurai<\/em>. The music felt fitting, giving me the focus and determination to beat Takezo. Luckily, I beat him after 36 retries. It was all worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New to the series are bounties. Instead of targeting clan leaders, you now hunt wanted criminals. Reporting back to Kojiro, the bounty broker, lets you claim rewards, and each bounty comes with its own short backstory. There are also Wolf\u2019s Den missions, where you help your wolf companion rescue her pack. Completing these missions strengthens your bond with the wolf, unlocking perks like assisting in chained assassinations or even playing the Song of the Wolf on your shamisen to summon her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-4.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Captured in Ray Tracing Pro on PS5 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Altar of Reflection sites for Technique Points, hot spring locations to increase maximum life, and most of the collectibles, can easily be found by either buying a map that pinpoints these areas from Isaburo the Cartographer or with the help of the Golden Bird, which appears if you&#8217;re close to a point of interest. You can even use your shamisen to play a song that will enable the wind to guide you to find hidden gears when you&#8217;re close. The Altars of Reflection and Hot Springs are worth looking for, especially when you&#8217;re still in the first few hours in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The amount of content on the island of Ezo is well within expectations. There are a great deal of activities to do, an abundance of areas to explore, and a ton of random encounters when you set up camp anywhere, as long as they&#8217;re not close to any enemy encampment, to replenish your Spirit gauge, previously known as Resolve in Ghost of Tsushima.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-226437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-770x433.jpg 770w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.sirusgaming.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ghost-of-yotei-review-screenshot-5.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Captured in Quality Mode on PS5 Pro<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019ve been playing <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em> on the PS5 Pro. The added Ray Tracing Pro mode is exclusive to the Pro, but the difference between it and Performance mode is minimal. On the PS5 Pro, Performance mode runs at a steady 60 frames per second, while Quality and Ray Tracing modes run at 30, with only occasional slowdowns during intense battles. Overall, performance has been stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, some long-standing issues persist. One major complaint players had in <em>Tsushima <\/em>still hasn\u2019t been addressed in <em>Yotei<\/em>. Enemies often stand around shouting or throwing kunai without climbing up to reach you, making them easy targets. Even if enemies are equipped with tanegashima rifles, they pose little threat once you unlock the armor that blocks bullets. It\u2019s disappointing that such a significant flaw went unresolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Ghost of Yotei <\/em>isn&#8217;t without its flaws, but its refined and exciting combat, added weapons, great cast of characters, and the beautiful island of Ezo make this game a great successor to <em>Ghost of Tsushima<\/em>. I still have a few more Tales and Myths to finish, but I would rather play it again from the start in Lethal Mode with a Japanese dub to fully immerse myself in this amazing world that <em>Ghost of Yotei<\/em> offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>This review is based on a PS5 review code provided by the developer\/publisher, played on a PS5 Pro.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In our industry, we usually expect sequels to games that made their mark, whether through units sold or raving reviews.
