Jin will have to master a new fighting
style, the way of the Ghost, to defeat
the Mongol forces and fight for the
freedom and independence of Japan.
Sounds easy enough, however we are
not counting on it.
Aside from your horse to quickly
maneuver the large locales, player are
equipped with a grappling hook allowing
you to access areas that are difficult to
reach. Ghost of Tsushima features in-
depth side quests with players able to
interact with other characters within the
environments, as well as engage them in
combat.
When it comes to the combat players
can engage in direct confrontation with
enemies using weapons like the
Samurai's best weapon, the katana,
including the Wakizashi which is
considered the Samurai's most
honorable weapon. The Samurai always
has this weapon with them. They would
always take them into their homes and
leave their other ones outside. The
Wak izashi was also used for ritualized
suicide, along with the Tanto, a smaller
dagger which Jin puts to good use.
