Ghost of Tsushima vs. Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
Leveling and Customization
Ghost of Tsushima and Sekiro are similar in the way they utilize leveling. You only have one set of weapons you can use and, because of that, leveling is restricted to those specific weapons and equipment. Additionally, there are no skill points to invest in for specific areas like dexterity or strength that you’d usually see in a FromSoftware game or another RPG.
Both games also allow you to unlock specific stances and move sets that you can invest points in for further advancement.
Sekiro has a wide range of skills and upgrades that you can tailor to your specific playstyle. There are also Prayer Beads and Memories you can use to increase weapon damage and health points.
However, Ghost of Tsushima has a huge selection of leveling. Weapons, armor, and ammo capacity have a progressive linear path of upgrades that use materials you need to actively collect out in the world.
Specific skills like Assassinations and Focused Hearing each have upgrades you can buy with Technique Points. These points can also be used on Ghost Weapon upgrades and unlocks for the four Sword Stances.
There are also charms you can find out in the world that give tiny buffs for your character.
Add in the fact that there are also cosmetics like armor dyes, sword kits, horse saddles, and headbands, Ghost of Tsushima has a lot of customization compared to Sekiro.
Winner: Ghost of Tsushima
