RE: Ghost of Yōtei - BULUPTAX - 10-10-2025
I got this earlier in the week and loving it. I really liked the first one as well, but I haven't played it since it first came out.
I'd like to play more but work's starting to get busier which makes it hard to find time

Better than Tsushima in every way. Gameplay, story, characters, side quests, combat.

I'm up to Teshio Ridge so far - and i'm still loving it. I hope the momentum carries into the rest of the game - and so far i'm very impressed by how compelling Atsu is as a protagonist.
Jin was alright but he was just ''samurai honoru man'' which isn't particularly compelling - especially when his inner conflict about honour vs practicality isn't really reflected in any meaningful way in the gameplay (you could very much just bum rush the whole game the honourable way with ease). Atsu is a guerrilla fighter straight off the bat; and her story is more personal.
Other than that, the weapons are a lot of fun. Odachi feels so good to swing like a relentless mad man, and the duel katanas are incredibly stylish.

Never had myself down as a Yari enjoyer before playing this, but here I am as my weapon of choice. I know it's supposed to be a tic-tac-toe of swapping weapons to match your opponents, but I find myself favouring it more than the others.
Despite the fact that Kusarigama wielders are a fucking nightmare.

Tbh much like Tsushima you don't *have* to match each weapon to its favoured opponent type - sometimes i'll use a less effective weapon for style points.
It's one of the reasons I like the Odachi so much - there is an upgrade that makes it stagger everyone more, and an upgrade that give your health bar a Bloodborne style ''regen health on attacks'' buff; so in the end it ends up being baseline effective against almost everyone.
To me it's the shield fuckers I hate the absolute most. When they dodge my chain ball I get SO MAD.

The shield guys underwhelm me tbh. Every other encounter requires some level of intricacy and patience, whereas you can just mash Triangle on the shield guys until they break.
Just finishing up on the Kitsune now having already done the Oni. Game hasn't lost momentum yet, hoping they can carry it to the last 3.

Oni and Kitsune done. Oshima Coast is super cool!

You and I are round about the same point in our play throughs hahaha
I'm really digging this game so far. It's far from perfect but it's keeping me intrigued so far

I honestly thought a lot of people were blowing smoke up their ass when they said the first was ''the best Assassin's Creed game'', but this one is legit probably the best AC game i'v played in a while. Such an improvement over the original.
My criticisms so far are mostly centered around the stealth system - it wouldn't have hurt to develop a better system than the original imo. More tools around manipulating light/dark and the ability to go prone and stuff like that like AC Shadows would have been cool - it just feels like it lagged behind compared to combat, even though the remote assassinations with the kusarigama are super cool.
