Ghost Of Tsushima: 8 Tiny Details That'll Blow Your Mind

6. You Can Pet Foxes After Visiting Their Shrines

Tsushima island is a character in and of itself, and one of the friendliest faces you'll encounter as a player are the island's many foxes.

Encounter one of their dens, and they'll lead you to a nearby Inari shrine, which you can then honour to gain or strengthen charms. Some may even stick around for the chance of a good chin scratch, which - OBVIOUSLY - you have to do.

Over the course of playing Tsushima, I estimate I must've petted 90% of the foxes I encountered. Sure, it's the same old animation over and over, but who could say no to those wonderful little faces? They're great, and do a great job of reiterating that every AAA game simply must provide opportunities for players to pet cute animals.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
