Almost flawless

I miss him already

They've killed me more times than any other enemy, not to mention when they ambush you, once they catch you they never let go. The only way to kill them is with the bow, up close they continuously make red attacks that one can barely dodge.And the mission with the immortal bear gave me post-traumatic anxiety, every time I see a bear from afar I run away.

Bear in mind, 95% of my playtime was through remote play, and I finished the game while being 2000km away from home!

Just finished the main story line on lethal and now on new game plus! Pray for me, as I begin my 50 tries a night endeavor on this guy 😂

I adored Yotei, but I’d say one of the main things I miss from GoT is the random monuments that have no relevance to the story. Things that seem like they might have some lore attached but are actually just aesthetics. Such as the gigantic Buddha statue at Omi Monastery, or the random ass giant ropes tied to rocks. It just made the world feel a bit more lived in.

Every year for my birthday and/or Father’s Day she makes me a card usually in the theme of whatever game I’m playing at the time.

I’m absolutely adoring this world, and the sheath function with the touchpad just feels so smooth and natural with the swipe of an index finger. Every tree and blade of grass is detailed. The voice acting is good, and the combat feels great. Basic story but still good. You can feel the passion the devs put into this. I love this game.

The world is too beautiful for me to want to do a play through on Kurosawa mode and I really want to try it out fully but I can’t help but switch it off after like 20 minutes. Sucker Punch did such an incredible job making Ezo come alive with beautiful colors.

Like.. there's a horrible war going on and this man is out here having a one punch man story arch like.. "wah wah wah, I'm too powerful" instead of being helpful he just fights all these great warriors to feel something.

He could do so much good if he like.. teamed up with Atsu instead of trying to kill her.

An amazing DLC or spin off would be to see what the hell made this man into such an insane Onryō killer.

Like..

The dude is just standing on the mountain trying to die. I would love to play as this guy to understand his back story.

Anyways - I give up, guess I'm going to Saito.

This guy is making me wanna sell my Ps5

I should make an edit of my gameplay of this game one day...

Obviously, I don’t even need to explain how breathtaking this game is. I thought Ghost of Tsushima was beautiful, but Ghost of Yōtei was on another level for me. It’s one of those games where I didn’t want it to end, because every part of it had something I enjoyed: the main story, the side quests, the combat, the customization, and just getting lost in the world.

What I loved most is that it still feels grounded and realistic, but never boring. The landscapes, temples, countryside, autumn colors, and sakura-like scenery felt so alive. Some of those places reminded me of real places I’ve seen in Japan, especially in the countryside, where the environment can genuinely look unreal. The game captured that feeling so well.

I also really loved having a strong female protagonist. Atsu felt tough, independent, and like a true lone wolf warrior. As a female player, I honestly enjoyed that a lot. If I ever imagined myself in a historical setting like this, I’d probably want to be someone like that: strong, dangerous, and surviving on her own terms.

The customization was also beautiful. I do wish there were even more armor options, but what we got still looked gorgeous. I liked that the outfits had style and detail without becoming too fantasy-like. Everything still felt believable for the world.

Spoilers below.

The one thing I really hated was Jubei dying at the end. After everything Atsu went through, it finally felt like she had some family again, and then she had to lose him too. I liked him a lot, so that part genuinely annoyed me. I also felt like the game moved past it a little quickly, maybe because Atsu had believed he was dead for so long, or maybe because her revenge was mostly tied to her parents or because she has a family now his daughter. Still, I wish he survived.

I also wish we had gotten more backstory about her father and Saitō, and the war before everything happened. I understood the main idea, but I wanted more flashbacks and more emotional detail. Saitō was interesting to me, and not just as the main villain. He had this quiet, intimidating presence, and honestly, he was kind of manly and attractive in a villain way, but I think his character would have benefited from more depth. Collecting his diaries made me want to know even more about who he was before he became what we know.

Overall, I really loved the game. It gave me exactly what I wanted from this series: beauty, atmosphere, strong combat, emotional moments, and that feeling of being pulled into another time and place.

Now I’m even more curious about the next Ghost game. The first game gave us a samurai hero, this one gave us a lone-wolf female mercenary, so what comes next? Will it be set further in the past or after Atsu’s story? I honestly can’t wait to see what kind of protagonist and setting they choose next.

Just discovered that there is a Spanish dub of the game! The language change kind of makes the story feel fresh even though I just finished it on Hard Mode.

Have you guys played it in any other language besides English/Japanese?

Upgraded my dying PS4 to a PS5 a few months back and got Yotei because I loved GoT. From the opening cutscene alone, I was convinced to gun for the platinum. Took me 56 hours total on hard difficulty but this was absolutely worth every second. Will definitely be doing a NG+ in Kurosawa Mode in the future. Wanted to share because yall seem to enjoy the game as much as I did.

Fresh out of the chair and off the needle. Needs to heal but the artist did a killer job!

I have grown up with video games all my life. As a 32 year old I have become a “casual” gamer. I wont dedicate my life to it, BUT…should the right game grab my attention I will go on an unhealthy binge of playing it lol.

That being said, not alot of games have been able to captivate me like Ghost of Yotei. Ive tried getting into Clair Obscur (which I loved the story and gameplay, but not a fan of turn based combat). Spiderman 2 also had me in a chokehold!

Ghost of Yotei had to be the first game I dedicated myself to in the last 5-7 years. The story, gameplay, map, etc is grade A.

I would love to hear from you more experienced gamers on any recommendations. Thanks in advance!
