Ghost Of Tsushima REVIEW: 7 Ups & 2 Downs

1. Mythic Tales Are A Major Highlight

Ghost of Tsushima has some seriously brilliant main tales and side tales, but arguably the highlight are the Mythic Tales.

As Jin travels Tsushima, he'll encounter a musician called Yamato. Yamato also moves around the island, telling tales of ancient warrior techniques, weapons and armour for Jin to try and find and recover. All are engaging, and the introductory cutscenes are suitably stylish, modelled on sumi-e paintings rather than being modelled using in-engine footage.

Whereas some of the other side tales in the game can feel a little so-and-so compared to the main quests, the Mythic Tales are almost certainly just as good.
