The title says it all. For me, it's easily one of my favorite games of 2020 and I'd even say a strong contender for game of the year.

"It does Assassin's Creed better than Assassin's Creed"
~ End of Review.
It does AC just like Odyssey does..
@@gamer-px5cu Odyssey was dogshit, so no, this is already significantly better than generic viking game that shouldn't even be called AC
@@holo1560 Eh I haven't played most of the AC series in a long time, but I can say I genuinely enjoy playing Odyssey. In fact, I don't even know why they made it a part of the series, other than it keeps to the " These people were great assassins " subplot, Odyssey never feels like an AC game.
If you haven't played it, I recommend you do.
@@butcanyoudothis3320 Like I said, it shouldn't be called AC, they'd have so much more creative freedom if they did their own thing, AC is like a crutch now, the series isn't what it used to be and if you haven't you should play the earlier ones, you'll see why Odyssey is among the 3 worst AC games.
Have played all the AC games and Odyssey and 2 are my favorites. I know Odyssey is different but with the setting and being like a Spartan was bad ass. Just know that it's more action rpg and not as stealthy and can get repetitive.
A fully fledged AAA game with character progression and cosmetics unlocked by just playing?
Is this a dream?
Guerilla PSYOPS or like the days of just playing decent games
Which is why I absolutely love Sony's first party titles. They care about quality and value rather than money making th rough whatever means necessary. Some of their games have DLC but they are usually of high quality like HZD frozen wilds.
Control? Jedi Fallen Order? Doom Eternal? Lol
@@amvishu every console has exclusives like that
Just a ghost story
This looks like a game made out of love, passion and dedication. It’s clear that the developers care about this game and wanted to make it
All as it should be.
THIS. Feels like a game for gamers by gamers, all the little annoying things in other open works games just aren’t here.
You can see video games that made out of love, and you can see games that just want to release game for money
Just the little details in this game. 👍👍
It is a game made with honor and discipline.
I love how the pure beauty of this game had turned every reviewer into a poet.
Hey, yeah! Good point!
Surely, you’d do the same
It might be the haikus in the game that have caused it.
Its probably Sucker Punch's long Hiatus ending.
You can do poetry in the game
Everyone: We want a Assassin’s Creed game set in Japan
Sucker Punch: Say no more
Not even close man, I just finished it, and balled eyes hard. If you can, do yourself a favor and get it.
CrappyPaintPapa Already did man, thank you though.
Actually this game is better than any ac game
Pfft... Ass Creed is crap.
Ultimate 🧢
I'm Mongolian and I like this game. Appreciated that they made Mongolian models and voice close to be accurate. It feels bad I will slaughter my virtual relatives.
That's pretty cool. Enjoy the game
The Mongolians were badass. You should be proud of your heritage. That empire advanced world civilization in many positive ways. Their tactics were so effective we still talk about them almost 1000 years later.
I feel your pain, I’m German, and have killed countless of Germans in cod.
Mongolians were smart and tactical, perhaps brutal but everyone was back then. Japan were victims here of that brutality, but monsters to China in WWII. Every country has a checkered past.
The Mongols were insane. Its not easy to massacre most of EurAsia and have your descendants rule nearly all of it.
Sucker Punch: *starts the ps4 generation with infamous second son and ends the ps4 generation with ghost of tsushima*
PS4 players: You can rest now.
Sucker Punch is so fucking good, infamous was incredible and ghost of tsushima probably will be too
Will tsushima be the last exclusive before ps5?
@@Zanbatoss Yes
@Food Republic no it isn’t at all, just the last major one
@@Zanbatoss the only one we care about
Shoulda hire City Wok to fend off the Mongolians
Damn Momgowians!!!
Hope this game introduces the historically accurate Mongolian Trojan Horse
@@israelanaya4360 what? Mongol Trojan horse?
Shivansh NA filled with sticky sweet and sour pork, applied to press the destruction of the Great Wall
Damn mongolians gonna get sweet and sour pork on their heads
Remember when everyone was asking for a samurai assassins creed game? Sucker punch remembers
Ubisoft may as well not even try to make one now, if they were planning on ever doing one in the future. It’ll just get constantly compared to this game, and it won’t be able to live up to this game at all. Ubisoft just doesn’t know how to make open world games like this. Assassin’s Creed Origins is the only one they managed to do well.
@@uome20bukz the series has gone to shit anyways so it won't matter even if they don't make one..... It isn't assassin's creed anymore, like Odessy had superpowers for god sakes 😂
So does Pepperidge Farm.

"This game makes you feel like an assassin while ASSASSIN's creed valhalla makes you feel like you should've bought ghost of tsushima instead"
It's not even out yet. Plus we all know you're going to play it anyway.
@@banned-account I would but I'm a PC gamer ONLY.
@@banned-account not everyone's gonna buy it, based on what we saw from the reveals. It's shit.
@@quadphonics It'll be on PC
SoBanked- Yea it looks exactly like Odyssey, this shit ain’t for me
You didn't touch on it, but the weather is really incredible. After finding all of the crickets you can use your flute to play different songs to aid in battle. You can add fog, bring rain, or a thunderstorm. Or you could clear the skies and make everything lush and beautifully swept in color and vibrancy. I loved that touch.
What?!! You can?? I use the flute to clear the skies when I want sun but I thought that was it lol and I’ve platinumed this game 😂😂
there is none of these ac rpg "the enemy is higher level bullcrap" to diminish the effect of careful planned assassination.
.
I love it 🤣🤣🤣
Ghost of Tsushima: "Assassinate"
Assassin's Creed: "Stomp"
haha, gotta admit tho it's fitting for a viking to STOMP things.
You can stomp in Ghost too haha
Let's stomp on the people at Ubisoft lol..
@@royalantoine01 then what seperates Assassin Viking from normal vikings
The Virgin IGN with a 11 minute review.
The Chad YongYea with a 25 minute review.
I love that Skill Up, Yong, and ACG make their reviews fairly long.

@@TheGlidingDutchman1999 I will take any RUclipsr review than IGN any day.
IG what ?
11 minutes is actually pretty big for an IGN review..............I just can't say how surprised i was when i saw that their review was 11 minutes....
“The game does assassins creed better than assassins creed” Ubisoft time to go back to the drawing board.
Meh.
It's an amazing game. I've finished it and am about to play it again.
But the stealth and assassinate mechanics fall a bit short of AC.
The climbing mechanics in this games are just trash compared to any AC game.

And CDPR
Hmm i dont think cdpr will release any game with hack and slash mechanic anytime soon
Shaman Xeed this kid is dum
Shaman Xeed Dark souls is not trash just GET GOOD
Shaman Xeed oh, nice
I love these wive-swap projects like when JPN developers borrow Western inspired elements to create games like dark souls. And now we have this masterfully crafted game from a western developer! The JPN audience must be impressed and proud.
In my experience, I think we often find the cultures and histories of others more interesting because they are so unfamiliar. Most friends I have made from Japan do not understand why I find their history/culture so interesting (but are happy I do) and I don't often see why they find Western things so interesting either. Regardless, I think it is a positive thing, the more we embrace and share our cultures the more likely it will be that they will remain as we continue in a world that keeps getting smaller and smaller.
@@thehat2032 maybe is a "grass looks greener on the other side" thing. People don't give too much value to the things they're used to and a foreign culture seems more intriguing than their own. (Btw I also love japanese culture)
What is wive-swap?
@@DantesInferno96 Its just a saying, there was a terrible Western show before where someone would go and live with a different family. More or less just to become familiar with the way a different family lives. In this sense the post is just using it to mean swapping something personal, cultures making games admiring eachothers cultures.
For real
I love how the blowing wind bends the trees. Witcher 3 made me appreciate details like this, sadly not many games has this.
Same experience in Dragon's Dogma way back on PS3. There was even an area where gusts of winds were so strong it would blow your character back. Another cool thing was you had to bring out your lantern at night because of how dark it was. And you had to because enemies at night were more lethal than the ones during the day, with exceptions of giant ones.
Sorry, but such cool systems in that game.
@@zensoredparagonbytes3985 dragons dogma is so underrated. Its one of my favotites
@@adblack88 I agree, I hope it gets a sequel someday. Maybe it will happen in this new generation? 🤔

the birds flying along, shit, in this era thats fucking genius, fucking love it
I went from being midly interested in this game to being unbelievably hyped in the space of one month. Preordered it last week and have been waiting eagerly ever since. The combat just looks too good.
Not sure how someone could be only mildly interested in this
The Realism Is Wonderful!!
@@hcaz5818 Me. After playing Sekiro, I doubt I'll enjoy the combat just as much. The stealth looks like the basic stealth you'd find in Assassin's Creed. The open world looks cool enough. If it has a good story and side quests, I'll buy it.
@@cromperer very different games
I haven't seen any type of limb severing so far, if there isn't any in the game I'll be disappointed, since I'm sure I saw it in a trailer before. Combat still looks really good though.
Absolutely gorgeous. This is how you close out a Console generation. Always loved Sucker Punch's games.
We got one more entry come November in the form of CP2077. Not an exclusive, but it counts as a closing entry.
@@Revenant-oq9ts I think he's just referring to exclusives.
@@Revenant-oq9ts as much as I love ghost.. I think cyberpunk 2077 is gonna be better..

Haha I love it! Let's make it a thing!
Roger Dodger you must be fun at parties
10:20 "I feel like the game straight does Assassin's Creed better than Assassin's Creed.
The very sentiment of Assassin's Creed fans.
Agreed! I've played every main AC game except for Odyssey and this looks like the next step forward if Ubisoft kept on the path that they were on in AC3 and Unity. Oh well.
IKR todays Ac games are lacking stealth just Brute Style as i call it.
It makes me feel like the game series is now just lacking the assassin gameplay. The only thing that makes it Assassin's Creed is the hidden blade.
@@blessanabey8386 There are some folks who I think complained on this game being similar too Assassin's Creed. LMAO, I say Assassin's Creed isn't even similar to Assassin's Creed anymore.
That being said, I'm curious to Valhalla and I'll try playing it.
Two totally different games..

Sounds like with a few patches here and there it seems like many of these issues won't be an issue.
The day 1 patch has been announced to be aprox. 10 gigs so I'm quite sure there will be quite the amount of polish in it.
Let's hope this day one patch ends up being tasty

@@Zamppa86 I hope day 1 patch also corrects stealth ai.i think it's the reason game isn't getting higher scores

Why wont they though? They do all kinds of cultures but East Asian ones

Finally, a proper "Way of the Samurai" successor, especially with the stances.
bro i've been waiting for a new way of the samurai, i remember i grinded the shit out of part 4 a few years ago to get the legendary ending. such a good game even though the graphics weren't great
Did you play Nioh?
@raynaldo arlen k.eman If only they'd make a serious way of the samurai game.
I don't agree this is a Way of the Samurai successor! My fave part of WoS was challenging ronins and plunder their samurai swords. Good times!
WoTS5 gunna come out any day now ;_;
Based on Japanese history, the stages of the game are based on famous battle which actually took place in ancient Japan.
....So here's this giant enemy crab.
Hit the weak spot for massive damage!
Waiting for Dunkey to review this game
You think this is a joke ?! My great great great great great great great great grandfathers friends father's kyodai fought against that crab and lost a testicles!!
lol relax right butt it's a video game. I know it's hard for you, but try to enjoy it.
HEY! Have you seen how how massive Japanese spider crabs can get? damnit now I'm hungry...
I've played for a few hours now, and I'm just so enthralled by this game... I knew next to nothing about it going in, and I love it. The gameplay is fun to master, the graphics and map design are just BREATHTAKING, and the story has enough oomph and pizzazz to compliment all of that very nicely. Because I knew nothing about the game before I bought it, I wasn't too interested. I really bought it on a whim, and it has been a pleasant surprise so far! It's just refreshing to have a samurai game without any outlandish monsters to fight and such. Don't get me wrong, I like those games too. Just nice to have a good ol' fashioned samurai game, y'know?
I just beat it great treat at the end definitely best game of 2020
No incredible ma'am
No uncomfortable *** scenes
No lies
Just a game about samurai
Lol for some reason i pictured gran theft auto game having a scene where one npc is screaming at another saying 'it is ma'am!' lmao
No incredible ma'am 😂
No microtransactions, loot boxes or surprise mechanics?

Here from ACG's review. He also says it's a must buy. This is why we bought a PS4. The home of quality single player games
What a way to close off the PS4's life before 5 arrived with games like these. Can't wait to play it
What a review.. I've already heard other reviews singing high praises for this game. However, this is very thorough and to the the point. 👏👏👏
I'm impressed how sophisticated and fluent the combat looks. Nothing like AC: Vallhalla and more complex that TW3, tho I liked it there.
TW3 is not complex... you can play that game as a hack'n'slash as well... it's just that it's easier once you embrace the sigils, and the progressions.
Quen simulator on harder difficulties
AC Valhalla's combat looks janky af.
Lol saying it's combat is more complex than TW3 is like saying it's more complex then LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean. I beat TW3 on the hardest difficulty just spamming that ability that makes me eat a single attack at no damage regardless of how powerful. All it takes is either patience or trying a little harder and using poison on everything.
Jos Shibu lol @that blood and wine boss fight
I present to you a haiku:
Will I buy this game?

But better

And without all this "assassins vs templars SECRET HISTORY!!1" childish bullshit.

Good thing ubisoft is not involved

One of my most anticipated games in years not just this year go back a few years and what games where better as of what u won’t in a game I been anticipating this games since it was announced fuck this year this is one of my most anticipated games ever period
My most anticipated game EVER
For me it was undoubtedly the most anticipated game.of 2020.
? this is just shadow of war
@NadineLuvs There was also Nioh 2 and Sekiro for this kind of game.
I feel like Suckerpunch are a studio that is only improving with age. I feel like they have a lot to show off next gen.
I honestly loved the Infamous series of games. They were a breath of fresh air in a new superhero/villain IP
@@billsutherby Can't forget Sly Cooper! Probably my favorite games from my childhood.
@@danfow22 Mine too !
still eagerly waiting hooktail too come back
Makes me really hope we get an infamous for ps5
Just be careful about setting your hopes up. If Naughty Dog taught/reminded us of anything, there is a possibility of a developer making a disappointing game.
This is the review I was hoping for. I was hesitant to be hyped about this game, but now I am looking forward to it after watching this. Thank you YongYea, you do fantastic work, as always.
There was no doubt here
Aggh I want to play it right now D: why do I gotta wait for another 24 hours :[
Didn't expect to see you here
11 hours to go!

Aggh I wanna play it now D: why do i have to buy a playstation to buy any of the good games on this planet
i gotta wait a week because of amazon :(
This game is what the latest AC’s couldn’t do. Assassin’s Creed: The Ghost of Tsushima
I've been joking since it was announced that Suckerpunch must have got sick of waiting for Ubisoft to make an assassins creed set in japan and decided to do their own take on it.
Forgetting just the setting, they seem to be doing what assassin's creed was and should be doing, being a historical open world action adventure game with cinematic storytelling and gameplay with an immersive world and mechanics, not this RPG stuff they're doing now. As a huge AC fan, I've preordered this.
@@ajlproductions1244 yeah, not a fan of the direction AC has gone.
I loved the combat that was more one or two hits to kill.
This is what everyone has wanted from AC for years.
The last good accurate ac game was unity change my mind bet ya can't.
Yong, you really going to critique that, "Idle NPC animations would load late." When i just saw the inside of Jin's EYEBALLS! 23:09
“There is no assassin‘s creed RPG higher level bull crap” Yo when I heard that I died laughing 😂 but you ain’t never lie!💯
assassin's creed is the most grindey, spongy, and uninspired game I've ever played.
Same here lol. Overall I like the Assassin's Creed series but the RPG higher level stuff is BS.
@@kratostheinevitable3932 The older games were much better than the newer ones. The newer ones are defo just level grinds for no reason.

0816 M3RC literally the reason I don’t think I will buy cyberpunk unless there’s insta kill headshots
This game is a masterpiece, from the visual art, music and fighting style mechanics to the gear selection options you can get so that you can improve your choice of fighting style. Love this game.

For people who are curious but still want to go in blind, I recommend listening than watching:
I got spoiled because of some scenes he shows. Feels bad cuz I'm halfway into the game and some important resolution between two chatacters was shown right away :(
I'm stupid for looking after reviews of the game I'm playing, but I just really wanted to see his opinion on the game
The Handful of weapons, armors, and dyeing of clothes remindes me of the Two to Revelatins era of Assassins Creed games. The wind compass and golden bird mechanics are amazing. I love stuff like that, which uses the game world instead of HUD elements like you said. I will definitely be picking this game up.
I'm just sad that Ubisoft chose to abandon the identity of Assassin's Creed, a grounded historical game.

NadineLuvs I wouldn’t say never a lot of ps exclusives have been coming to pc such as Detroit, Death Stranding and horizon Zero Dawn so it might at some point as well
@NadineLuvs To be fair the PS4 is cheaper than ever so it's no big loss to buy one and enjoy the exclusives.

"The game does Assassin's Creed better than Assassin's Creed" - deep cut.
Great review Yong, Im on my way to my 1st platinum. I LOVE this game! Its everything I hoped for and more! I agree with just about everything you said except your gripe about the lock on. Combat is so realistic and dynamic, that being locked on to any one enemy would be a detriment to the combat system. Sure there’s an occasional wrong target but id say at least 95% of the time, it was right on. Aiming and moving the left stick worked seamlessly and near flawlessly while in combat. Especially when battling large amounts of mongols. A lock on system would have added uneccessary clicks and cause countless deaths when fractions of a second matter trying to switch from target to target. The decision to not have a lock on system enables you to seamlessly attack enemy to enemy to enemey focusing on your stance and attacks, nevermind using all of the different Ghost weapons. In my opinion Its one of the best combat systems I have ever played and I have gamed my whole life. This game is a masterpiece and GOTY for me no doubt. And yes, its the most beautiful game I have ever played. This is how single player is done. Straw hats off to Sucker punch.
Realistic game’s set in feudal Japan and the Wild West are right down my ally, I’m so excited

*AHHHHHH*
Good chuckle from that, hahaha!
This game's combat shines when you switch between ghost and samurai playstyles. The sense of badassery you feel when you take over a Mongol camp is amazing. I feel like the difficulty is just right with this game and it actively rewards skill/planning.
I am so glad that I only ever took it seriously yesterday cause now I don't have to wait as long as everyone else. I literally just saw the 18 minute gameplay thing that was released 2 months ago this morning.
Good to know mah boi sucker punch nailed it again, been with them since the sly cooper days and it makes me happy that they are still strong today.
I had fun with Infamous: Second Son too
SVGLNR I loved all the infamous games. I hope they make another one eventually.
@@liquidsword601 Any possible next Infamous game could be anything. They ended Second Son quite open ended.
SVGLNR I imagine if they do make another one, it’ll be with a different character, which I’m fine with. I liked Delsin, but another character would be nice. I would prefer if they just focused on one power though.
This has been the best review I've seen so far. Very fair, professional and unbiased, leaving politics and other irrelevant things aside. We need more journalist with qualities and ethics like YongYea's, especially in today's time. Keep it up!
The REAL swan song for the PS4. Thank you for this review.
This feels like yong's love letter rather than review 🙃
Hopefully the main character doesn't get beaten up with a golf club and then we have to play as the enemy for more than half the game.

@@DrMoxmoReadings, to be fair, they didn't do this on purpose, Cyberpunk was pushed out twice, which ended up landing them on that day. I'm still not buying anything from Ubisoft until they change as a company.
Assassins creed will likely be delayed a week or two to avoid it, but I also wouldn’t be surprised if cyberpunk is delayed again either
As a samurai and history nerd, I can't wait to get my hands on this game since it looks like a dream come true for me. Been spending the last 2 weeks watching old samurai films (only got Ran and Kagemusha of Kurosawa left to watch) getting ready for the game.
would you like to share your movie list? i always wanted to watch Kurosawa and other samurai movies but i just don't know where to start
@@davidmardianto8976 Start with Seven Samurai.
Have you ever watched Lone Wolf and Cub. I know it's not a traditional Samurai type film but it's good.
@@davidmardianto8976 So far I have watched:
13 Assassin's
Lady Snowblood + sequel (not really a samurai film but it is great)
Samurai Rebellion
Zatoichi
Killing (2018 film that is more focus on deconstructing the samurai themes but is a great watch)
Harakiri (haven't seen yet)
The Sword of Doom (haven't seen yet)
Kurosawa:
Seven Samurai -- Watch it... just watch it
Yojimbo and sequel Sanjuro - the duels in Ghost is highly inspriedd from the end of Sanjuro
The Hidden Fortress - Inspired Star Wars
Throne of Blood
Ran - haven't seen yet
Kagemusha - haven't seen yet
Where to start I would of course suggest start with Kurosawa more so with Seven Samurai and Yojimbo + Sanjuro.
I've been enthralled with samurai culture since I was a wee little snot nose and this has been a long time coming for me. I am going to be completely lost in this game.
Thank you so much for a well worded, thought out, and passionate review. I will definately be purchasing this when it come out! YongYea, you the man!
I've been waiting on this since 2017!!!
Same brother, and we finally get to play it, i hope the wait really pays off
@@stevenpochejr Hell yeah! It's gonna be worth it, trust me. And when we're done with this we'll have Cyberpunk.. 2020 is gonna be amazing for video games.
Igelkotts-Mannen preach brother, finally 2020 is gonna have some sort of redeeming qualities!
Sucker Punch is like your long lost childhood friends out of nowhere came to you with flowers and cookies while your current friends only bring you misery
I remember seeing this in 2017 and thinking ‘this game was made for me’ I can’t wait. Glad I saved my money by not buying TLOUPII trash, this game will give the PS4 a proper sendoff!
When a completely unrelated game has assassinations as a secondary system and does it better than Ubisoft's game that has it in the F-ing title, you know Ubisoft screwed up.
They always do. Very lazy and shameful developers not respecting their own franchises.
Yong, you were made to do reviews! Everyone should learn from you ! Keep it on 😉
YongYea: "I don't think I've stopped this many times in a game to just bask at the scenery around me."
SoTC: "Am I a joke to you?"
Can y’all imagine how this game is gonna play on the PS5 with those adaptive triggers? Yesh 🤭😍
Imagine your fingers cramping from it now that is the future
@MrGrimside nah, hours of constant gameplay have trained my fingers for that moment
if your finger cramping
youre not playing enough
@@chomayful you right
@coi linh exactly 🤣
"Ghost of Yarikawa" mission: happens
My jaw: there's no more jaw to drop
IKR?! thats the part where jin actually becomes a ghost. its a freaking epic mission.
Man I cant wait to get my copy, been waiting since they announced it, loving Japanese culture, this game is already a masterpiece in my eyes!
Beautiful review man. I'm honestly blown away on how in depth you went into the game without giving any spoilers. In glad i subbed to you a few years back. Keep up the amazing work my dude.
I don't see any game beating this for game of the year. Absolutely stunning. I never felt so immersed in a video game.
Assassin's Creed should have made some improvement like this. But now AC is literally a Witcher clone. Lost its own identity.
You clearly have not played either game fully... AC and the Witcher are very different games; both in mechanics and tone.
@@AdelaideBen1 you clearly haven't played the newer ac haha, it's fighting God and Monster, hence the comparison
Ubisoft literally said they want to make ac like Witcher 3
Disagree. Nothing alike at ALL
How dare you compare Witcher and AC. The Witcher 3 is far better as an RPG than the new ACs.
tubers:
"amazing, absolutely love it"
journos:
"meh, just another AssGreed clone"
...have a sneaking suspicion, which statement will be more accurate in the end 🤔
Basically most review, good or bad, complain about the same things, so it is most likely to depend on how much you weight in the pros and cons
Tuber's are literally bought just as much as journalists are though lol. This entire platform is taken over with ads an sponsorships.
Let's be real.
Every review I've seen or read (including igns, skillup and now yong) have basically said the same things with roughly the same scores and criticisms, where's this supposed disparity?
At this point, there are only so many ways you can design an open-world game with fighting and assassination. One can say Assassin’s Creed is like Breath of the Wild or Skyrim. Can we just enjoy the game without criticisms of this game is like that other game?
I am pretty sure that future Assassin's Creed games will implement stuffs and mechanics from this game.........The same thing happened with Middle Earth: Shadow Of Mordor........when that game released it was called an Assassin's Creed Clone but Assassin's Creed ended up copying from it 😂😂😂😂
This review is buttery smooth. It just flows and is very enjoyable. Well done Yong!
I wonder if Yong is an English Major. This was incredible writing.
I hope Theres a blindfold somewhere that you can find, love the idea of playing as the blind samurai, using the wind to hear and parry your enemies.
Ummm what?
Zatoichi
Jay Vader obviously, it's third person. I'm taking about for aesthetic reasons I'm hoping there's some type of armor set that has a blindfold. Maybe some end game samurai master armor type deal. Toda Seigen a renowned swordsman during the Sengoku Period in 16th century Japan wielded a sword blind so it would be historically accurate.
DARTH MAUL you haven't watched many samurai movies, have you? The blind swordsmans a pretty common trope. Hopefully there's an Easter egg of that in the game.
This game is an artwork masterpeice! I found myself stopping several times just to enjoy the environment.
It's already been 3 years since the reveal trailer? Oh wow, that felt more like 2.
200*
I couldn't pull myself away from it all day. GOTY for me hands down and the Kurosawa mode is so bad ass
I can't wait for this game. I love the stealth, and especially the combat. I've wanted a combat system like this ever since I started playing games as a young kid. I love felling enemies in 1-2 calculated attacks. I cannot fucking wait.
Also, a strong contender for GOTY? It is GOTY as of now, until Cyberpunk 2077 comes out. What other games have released this year that are actually decent?
TLOU 2 *nervous laughter*
Aces of Athens Nioh 2, doom eternal, ff7 remake were all good, but I do agree that this will blow all of them out of the water
Nioh 2 and Doom Eternal are the only two I can even think about.
JacobCowley69 yeah no not sure how this game blows those out of the water.
@@jacobcowley6934 I personally disliked FF7's remake. They made my girl Tifa have abs. For that I'll never forgive them.
I love the wind as well reminds me of how The Getaway navigated you thru the world thru immersion where it used the blinkers of the car
