Today's post is very special. I'm going to review a game that I've enjoyed so much, and now it's in my top 3. The game in question is "Ghost of Tsushima". We move to feudal Japan, to Tsushima, an island which is under Mongol siege, which intends to invade all of Tsushima and kill everyone who doesn't work for them. An army of Samurai heads towards the beach to confront the Mongols who are arriving in ships. The Mongols kill almost all the Samurai, capture Lord Shimura alive, and demand that he surrender so that the entire island will submit to Mongol rule. Our protagonist is Jin Sakai, a samurai trained by his uncle Lord Shimura. Samurais have honor, and Jin has been molded according to his uncle standards. Jin begins searching for allies to help him rescue his uncle, but the favor doesn't come free, he must do something to earn their support. The side missions (from the allies) are one-hour mini-stories that feel like complete narratives. Playing them in order is highly recommended, t
