Ghost of Tsushima vs. Sekiro Shadows Die Twice
Boss Battles
Both Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro have interesting boss fights that require you to be the best at combat to beat them. FromSoftware might as well be the king of boss designs at this point since these developers have come out with some fantastically designed bosses.
Because of this, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has plenty of diverse boss fights including those involving supernatural demons, giant apes, big samurai with even bigger swords, headless horrors, and Sekiro’s father figure who easily kicks your ass.
Due to this diversity, these bosses have their own unique fighting styles so nearly every boss encounter in Sekiro is different. You have to tailor your own skills and tools in the best way to take them out.
Meanwhile, in Ghost of Tsushima, this game is limited by the fact that it’s more history than fantasy compared to Sekiro. While aesthetically pleasing, many of the bosses you encounter are very similar and you essentially don’t need to change much to defeat them. A parry here and there more or less gets the job done.
These are good old fashioned duels so they’re 1v1 fights. Not much happens dynamically here compared to Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice where you end up fighting an angry man on a horse in a huge arena.
Ghost of Tsushima’s boss fights work just fine in the context of the game but Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice just adds so much more to its own.
Winner: Sekiro
