Ghost of Yotei isn’t without its flaws, but its refined and exciting combat, added weapons, great cast of characters, and the beautiful island of Ezo make this game a great successor to Ghost of Tsushima. I still have a few more Tales and Myths to finish, but I would rather play it again from the start in Lethal Mode with a Japanese dub to fully immerse myself in this amazing world that Ghost of Yotei offers.
Ghost of Yotei doesn't take many risks, but it has the advantage of being built on a fantastic foundation. This sequel adds some very interesting features that improve the experience many of us enjoyed in Tsushima. Sucker Punch brings a well-rounded character, reactive and visceral combat, and a beautiful open world perfect to get lost in.

Ghost of Yōtei offers solid gameplay and atmosphere but falls short of expectations, with déjà-vu design and modest production values. A good open world, yet not the standout PS5 exclusive it should be.

Excelling in its intuitive exploration of an open world, Ghost of Yōtei gives you the freedom to explore a Japan of stunning landscapes and secrets to discover. Thus, we find two protagonists: the warrior Atsu and the land of Ezo itself, which perfectly suits a story that's as much about revenge as it is about homecoming.

We thought Sucker Punch couldn't make a game better than Tsushima, but they managed to do it. Ghost of Yotei is an overall improvement on a title that was already very good: thanks to the historical context, which is certainly more enjoyable than the Mongol invasion, Yotei transports the player to a wonderful world, with a well-characterized protagonist and a good balance between action and narrative.

Ghost of Yotei on the PlayStation 5 is not a straight-forward sequel to what Ghost of Tsushima was, but it's still connected to that game in many ways. The premise of the story, various gameplay elements, and its fantastic visuals are definitely what connect both games together in a good way
Ghost of Yotei is more of what made Ghost of Tsushima so compelling; terrific combat, a memorable protagonist, and a gorgeous world playing host to it all. It's not perfect, there are a few edges to this sword that could have been sharpened, but there are not enough to take away from an incredible experience. I cannot recommend it enough.
Overall, Ghost of Yotei is a perfect successor to Ghost of Tsushima. Does it improve much on its predecessor? not particularly much that is noticeable or innovative, but frankly, it’s hard to improve on a game I considered pretty perfect initially anyway. Ghost of Yotei basks in the glow of Ghost of Tsushima, and I couldn’t have been happier to cuddle up to its familiarity.
Ghost of Yōtei refines and expands while offering a gorgeous new setting and a compelling, emotional story - It may not reinvent the genre, but it’s another Far East epic.
Like its predecessor, Ghost of Yōtei captivates with breathtaking depictions of nature, an outstanding soundtrack, and a combat system that is thoroughly enjoyable thanks to its speed. The unique and melancholic poetry ensures that we immerse ourselves in the world and want to explore every corner of Ezo. In many places, Yōtei feels like returning to one of your favorite games as you gallop on horseback with birds fluttering and leaves dancing around you. The title doesn't reinvent the series and is very similar to its predecessor, but Ghost of Yōtei offers everything I loved about Ghost of Tsushima. The classic revenge story isn't the most complex, but I found the immersion in Atsu's past and the strong focus on the masks of our adversaries very successful. I was also impressed by the good use of the DualSense, which provides many small details with its motion control. In short: If you loved Ghost of Tsushima and don't mind returning to a very similar setting, then Ghost of Yōtei is also a must-play.

Ghost of Yōtei is a must-have title because it not only lives up to the expectations set by its predecessor, but surpasses them in almost every way. This game combines an emotionally intense story with a vibrant, lively open world, supported by a brutal and satisfying combat system. Its audiovisual and technical excellence cement it as one of the most impressive experiences of this generation.

Ghost of Yotei is an open-world samurai adventure with a lush new setting, enjoyable combat mechanics and meaningful character progression.
Ghost of Yōtei is a great evolution by the foundation that Sucker Punch built with Ghost of Tsushima. While the story feels like a retread of every other revenge story of the past few years, complete with the same frustrating pitfalls, the characters, new gameplay mechanics, and extra content make for a game that will hook you from beginning to end. I can't wait to see how Sucker Punch continues to expand the game and the franchise in new and exciting ways.
Ghost of Yotei is one of the best titles you can play this year, and is absolutely worth every buck that you spend. This 50-hour title will give you the complete package of a true AAA experience. You’ll probably spill enough blood that an entire region could be painted red, and still have the Yotei 6 running for their lives. The amount of breathtaking views this game puts you along with the depth of characters and stories, truly will leave you longing for more by the time you’re done with it. Ghost of Yotei has our blessing to go for the GOTY title with the full intent to win.
Ghost of Yotei is a stunning sequel that elevates everything Ghost of Tsushima did so well. Ezo is alive and breathtaking, packed with rewarding exploration, hidden shrines, and dynamic villages. Combat is fluid and versatile, with Atsu’s weapons, skills, and stealth options offering thrills with every encounter.
Ghost of Yōtei refines rather than reinvents, delivering a stunning, atmospheric experience that builds beautifully on Tsushima’s legacy. Some outdated mechanics hold it back, but the passion behind it shines through. If you loved the original, this one’s a no-brainer.

Ghost of Yotei expands its world and sharpens combat, but a weak revenge tale leaves side-quests and twists to carry this otherwise impressive open-world adventure.
