Ghost of Tsushima
Most Promising Games of E3 2018
While the game was first unveiled towards the tail-end of last year, it wasn’t till E3 2018 that we got to see some actual gameplay footage and get a sense of what this title feels like. The game was shown off properly during Sony’s press conference, and it was jaw-dropping in terms of visuals and graphics, as expected. The art direction was beautiful, and the combat was very reminiscent of older samurai films like Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai.
While we didn’t really get a very in-depth look at how the combat worked, it seems that players will have to watch their foes carefully and move their own swords accordingly to block and parry as necessary. It’s almost like chess, the way you have to strike when their guard is down and try to predict how your opponent will move next. From the looks of the trailer, Ghost of Tsushima might be an open world game like Horizon Zero Dawn, but we can’t be sure just yet.
