Current Events > what's ghosts of tsushima like

(+) Yeah! (+)

I want to play an open world game, but what's the combat like? Can I just whack people or so I have to hunker down and calculate dodges and counter attacks and shit all the time.

Also is there a heavy emphasis on stealth?

It depends on difficulty, but it isnt meant to be a hack n slash

theres only a couple parts that force stealth. Otherwise you can play how you want.

The combat is pretty dang good and you can go stealth or Rambo

I've seen people call it Assassins creed (the open world) meets Dark Souls/Star Wars (the combat).

On the ideal hardest difficulty, sword play is very strategic like Sekiro so you have to break down an enemy's guard first before you can strike them openly. Adjusting stances on the fly to counter the 4 basic enemy classes is also important in survival and it feels extremely satisfying and faithful connecting on finishers.

Stealth is optional except in a few story missions but otherwise it's way cooler to call out enemies for a standoff duel than sneak kill like every stupid Ass Creed clone ever.

It's a brilliant game. The combat opens up as you go on, and most missions can be approached either with stealth or as a one-man army (though some missions require one or the other approach for narrative reasons)

Thanks everyone

its way more fun than Assassins Creed, trust me fam.

good combat, bad stealth.

good characters, decent story, but generic open-world structure.

beautiful visuals and nice music, though.

its nowhere near as hard as Dark Souls. it's basically Sekiro on easy mode and it even has "easy" difficulty if that's too much.

Its only like dark souls on the literal hardest difficulty. Dont let those comparisons scare you

stealth is completely optional for the vast majority of the game.

its your standard open world game with real pretty visuals and a decent story. combat is pretty fun, it has a rock paper scissor aspect to most encounters.

I had a good time with it, no where near the frustration levels of a souls game.
