"I couldn't buy into it as this ‘gentle wind’, gently nudging you...because it wasn't subtle either. It's like gale-force wind at your back as you're rattling through the Japanese countryside!" - Samantha
This week on our review show Samantha (she/her), Alex P (he/him), and Alex CG (they/them) reflect on Ghost of Tsushima, a Western take on samurai with a distinctly ‘Kurosawa’ lens. Developed by Sucker Punch Productions, most known for the Sly Cooper and Infamous series (and the hidden N64 gem, Rocket: Robot on Wheels!), the game has received generally positive reviews from critics and fans alike. But does it hold up to scrutiny, and is the last samurai Tom Cruise or Samurai Jack? Spiciness awaits.
