“Ghost of Yotei” is a 2025 PlayStation exclusive game by the gaming studio Sucker Punch. The game follows a woman named Atsu on a revenge fuled hunt for the game’s antagonists, “The Yotei Six”. In my experience I’ve gone through 60+ hours doing most of the side content and the main story to completion.
The main plot of the game is a basic revenge story that follows the death of Atsu’s parents when she was young, making her seek out their murderers; however the main story was the least of my experience while playing through the game. Playing “Ghost of Yotei”, feels like you’re in a classic samurai movie, going around taking out bounties and dueling living legends in close quarters sword fights.
Each and every character, main, side, and background had a fully fleshed out story that made the world feel real and down to earth. My biggest gripe about the game is that you die in one to two hits by most enemies and bosses; however I did play the game on hard difficulty. I don’t mind the difficulty spike however, because you’re supposed to have played the precursor game “Ghost of Tsushima”. There isn’t much more for me to say, it’s an amazing sequal to an already amazing game.
I loved every moment of this game I recommend playing it, I give it an 8/10
