“The stealth makes the game almost too easy”... what if that was on purpose? Your uncle tells you that only cowards kill from the shadows. The whole point is that the stealth option puts you further from your samurai code. One time when i stealth killed someone, the scene of him telling you about facing your enemy with honor, flashed in and out seemingly out of nowhere. To remind your character what he is essentially doing. He’s breaking the code he lives his whole life by. Being dishonorable. But is it necessary? Perhaps they made stealth stupid easy to make you feel like it is too easy... being a samurai isn’t supposed to be easy. Idk I’m probably reading into it too much and the developers might have not bothered tweaking the stealth mechanics

It's AC if it was great, Batman Arkham stealth and free flow combat with a TINY bit of Sekiro influence. They basically copied the guard breaking system from Sekiro. It's just a lot easier.

Its not many trail mission but even when you do them in this game you can go at your pace mostly and its quite enjoyable.

[@linkjoestar8924]

ThiccDonut yes but a samurai can be a shinobi too. In fact many samurai were shinobis. Shinobis were created in the Sengoku Period so more then likely Jin is an early descendant of a shinobi in his “ghost” form in the Kamakura Period. But it’s kinda confusing bc being a Samurai is more of a social class and being a shinobi is a job. So Jin is playing as both.

[@felcelot]

Gonna disagree with a few points. 1) Not reacting to dead bodies. - Well, they do. I shot a guy and when his body was found they started a search for me. 2) Not reacting to arrow shots. - Well, again, they do react. If you miss them, they will go the source of the noise and after the arrow is found, they try to search for you from the direction you shot. If arrow hit, then they will run to the place you shot from immediately. 3) Forced gamestyle in missions. - Yeah, I wanted to be a honorable samurai, but game forces you a couple of times to do it dirty. But I encountered it in only in mission which introduces techniques - stealth kills and poison darts. In other missions game let's you play the full-on samurai, even when it demands stealth. For example, you can show yourself to the couple of enemies and kill them in honorable fight before they raise the alarm. 4) About 15 seconds with "leaving mission area". - It's so rare, actually. Almost every mission can be interrupted, you can go whenever you want or even start another mission and all your progress will be saved. Game gives you a lot of freedom in that way. 5) Trailing missions. - I do agree, that this is annoying in most games, but in Ghost of Tsushima in 90% of the time NPC will adjust it's speed to yours. You can see it in a video, when Charlie starts sprinting NPC does too. It rarely limits your speed to slow walking. And speed adjust works on a horseback too. And mind you, it's in the mission where you follows an NPC and game let's you decide what the speed would be in moist cases. I do agree and support other points. And yes. THE FUCKING CAMERA. 6) Although, I like auto-soft lock on in combat in this game. For 99% it works flawlessly. But the camera can't handle it, yeah.

@@Christian-oi7sd He used to be a game journalist and now he's more of an angry person who despises what the AAA game industry does. I suppose you'd call him a pundit or something like that. He's historically pretty hateful of Ubisoft and their approach to open world busy work so it's pretty surprising that, with a game like this, he actually became invested in all the open world busy work. To me it speaks volumes about the quality of the game.

I disagree with his political views but he knows exactly what he's talking about when it comes to games.

[@lukelakatos6216]

This is 3 weeks old so maybe there's been bug fixes, but virtually none of the problems he's talking about are present. Enemies notice dead bodies, notice arrows, and I'm almost done with the game and I think there's been maybe 2 tail missions, and they're super short. Overall its a fantastic game and if you're debating picking it up, I say do it. I haven't had this much fun with a video game in a long time.

I usually ride with Charlie on these ones but this review feels like he played a totally different game to me!

[@PROUDxRUSHxDENIER]

Use just stone stance is gonna take you along time if u dont parry every attacks and dont dodge the unblockables. Charms and armor work in your favor to speed the duels along. Took me til the second region and maxed out everything. It would be a challenge if i didnt max out the upgrades and stances. You can just use the charm thats makes parry much easier and use stone for everyone. Then going ghost makes its fun to kill brutes instantly. Camera is a bitch, but i would never fight indoors.

[@alcflmn]

I think the stealth early on is easy but once you get into the end of Act one and beginning of act 2 it turns up. Enemies will spot dead bodies and sound an alarm putting everyone on watch for you. Because there are so many enemies, it’s hard to get one guy alone, especially later in the game where the war camps and castles are huge and packed full of enemies

[@zaccwiggins]

Good news, I got this game recently and the stealth is much better and the AI are way more intelligent

[@micha3l7]

I got the platinum trophy on the hardest difficulty, and I gotta say the camera was rarely a bother while playing. When enemies swarm you it gets annoying, but I think it makes it more realistic as having like 10 guys on you should probably kill you and get a bit confusing. Also, enemies always notice and blow on their horn when you find a body, and every other enemy in the area comes over, but what he said about enemies barely noticing you and being pretty stupid is true. Can’t believe he didn’t mention exploration though. Besides the big main quest sieges and battles that’s the best part of the game

[@micha3l7]
