Ghost of Tsushima

After putting it off for a while having only played the first three or four hours, I binged it and platinummed it over the last couple of weeks. The combat and side-mission design got repetitive but I did like it regardless. The feedback from the game, both audial and visual, was so satisfying. Perfect parries never stopped feeling great. There was one side mission where you climbed the mountain while getting from campfire to campfire to ward off the cold, and I was so relieved to have a different mechanic like that used so late in the game after so many repetitive side-missions.

Samara in Mass Effect 2 compared Justicars to Samurai, and that made for two comparably bland characters. Jin was very stoic. But that did mean his little moments of humour or rage were worth paying attention to, and playing as him was undeniably a fun power trip. I liked him in general and he was definitelyw well-performed, particularly in the ending. The peak of the game was Act 2 generally, with the Yarikawa mission where you get Ghost Stance, and the entire ending of that act leading up to the horse dying were all superb. Act 3 wasn't great by comparison, with the attack on Khotun Khan comparatively short. The finale was fantastic though, what a terrific choice to end it that way.

In the end, I chose to kill my uncle. Was ranting about that here but I'm gonna make a topic because it's been on my mind.
