Sucker Punch's brand-new game "Ghost of Tsushima" is coming out worldwide in a couple of days and several gamers have already had the chance to explore the world it offers and experience the history of the Japanese samurai and their battle for honor.
This massive and beautifully crafted open-world action game places you in the shoes - rather the swords - of historic samurai warrior Jin Sakai, one of the last surviving members of his clan.
Embark on a journey to protect the people of Tsushima Island and battle against the invading Mongol empire that has already laid waste to several nations along with their dream of conquering the East.
Sakai must set aside the teachings that have made him the samurai that he is and forge a new path of a Ghost to free Tsushima.
A beautiful world
Ghost of Tsushima delivers an amazingly detailed world that feels like it's alive with how the environment seemingly reacts to the player's every move. The developers expected players' jaws to drop at the scenery by making the d-pad button into a photo tool.
The game also comes with a consistent 30fps refresh rate whether you play on the regular PS4 or the PS4 Pro. However, Pro owners would have the advantage of being able to choose between 30fps at 1440p or an unlocked frame rate at 1080p.
Most other massive world games have one thing in common that severely causes players to express their negative opinions of - loading times. Ghost of Tsushima, however, relinquishes this fact by having seamless transitions between areas resulting in no loading times and making the entire gaming experience that much smoother.
