Ghost of Tsushima - The Ronin Swordsman - Perfect Combat Gameplay - Lethal+

Today I have some more Ghost of Tsushima for you. I'm playing through the game again on Lethal+ and for this video, I wanted to show some of the highlights from my last session during the campaign. I wanted to take more of a head-on approach as I normally do stealth builds. I'm having a great time playing this game again & I hope you enjoy the videos. Thanks for watching :D

3:01 I love this, in reality it takes a lot of strength to hold back a traditional bow for more than a few seconds. When the guy's friend attacked, he didn't fire because he may accidentally hit his friend but he also didn't waste strength keeping the bow drawn while waiting for an opening. He drew his bow, his friend attacked, he lowered his bow. Then, nearly as soon as his friend died, he immediately pulled back again to loose his arrow.
