One of the very rare AAA games that I actually play through - though I'm definitely intrigued at historical games even if the story in this one is almost all fantasy. The true strength of Ghost of Tsushima lies in the story and characters, where it really shines - some of the side quests are extremely powerful, such as Yuriko's second tale. The combat is also very good, which is definitely needed since there's a lot of combat in its fifty hours of gameplay (and why I'm not yet going into the DLC yet). While the stealth sometimes takes a backseat to the combat, it also shines when it comes to the forefront - disabling entire enemy camps without being seen is very possible with all of the Ghost techniques Jin has at his disposal. The only downside is that it's very much a checklist open world game with the very many fox shrines, haikus, and other areas all over the place, and of course the platinum requires finding almost everything out there.

Other than clearing the story, sidequests, and area checklist, there's a few more tasks to do for the platinum:

• Bow to 10 hidden shrines
• Kill an enemy by knocking him off a ledge
• Shoot a terrified enemy with an arrow as they run away
• Kill five enemies in a single standoff
• Defeat 20 enemies with a Perfect Parry counterattack
• Cosplay as the legendary thief Sly Cooper

Definitely glad I played it to the end. Once I'm in the mood for more Ghost of Tsushima, I'll check out the Iki Island DLC but for now I'll be going back to other games I've left behind.

Great game. The combat is super satisfying and I really dug the use of the wind and birds to direct you.
