What is Ghost of Tsushima actually about?

You play the samurai Jin Sakai, who is forced to watch as Mongol invaders attack his Japanese home island of Tsushima. In order to save his homeland and its inhabitants, Jin is faced with a difficult decision: Must he stray from the honorable path of the samurai to have a chance at victory?

Ghost of Tushima is a first-class open-world time eater. There’s something to discover everywhere, a Mongol camp here, a fox den there, a hot spring over there and the next main mission is already waiting a little further north.

One of the highlights is the battle system As a samurai, you have to adapt to each opponent individually to avoid biting the dust very quickly. Mongolian spearmen require a completely different style of swordplay than heavily armored but slow axe fighters. So you can change your style at the touch of a button to gain the upper hand in battle.

So Ghost of Tsushima is the next former PlayStation exclusive to land on PC. Are you happy about the announcement? Has Jin Sakai’s adventure always been an experience that made you envious of the Sony console? Or are you now plagued by open-world fatigue? Let us know in the comments!
