Ghost of Tsushima is Sucker Punch Productions' action-adventure game set on Tsushima Island during the 1274 Mongol invasion. Players control Jin Sakai, one of the last samurai forced to choose between honor and the deceptive tactics needed to save his home, a dilemma at the heart of the game's storytelling and character growth. The game is known for cinematography clearly inspired by Kurosawa films (it even includes a dedicated black-and-white 'Kurosawa Mode'), a minimalist interface where wind is used to guide players toward objectives, and a visually striking open world awash in autumn colors. Sword combat is built around switchable stances against different enemy types, while stealth is enriched by smoke bombs, assassinations, and fear-based tactics. The Director's Cut edition also includes the Iki Island expansion.
