Ghost of Tsushima is, without a doubt, one of the most visually captivating games I have ever laid eyes on. The environment is so well-crafted that I have no problem spending hours exploring the diverse terrain.

Sucker Punch has done an amazing job putting together an environment that feels alive and vibrant without the aid of a robust city.

Within seconds of exploring Ghosts of Tsushima, you will find yourself panning the camera to take in as much of the colorful and beautifully sculpted landscape as possible. 

For those of you who haven’t played Ghost of Tsushima yet, take a second to imagine this. You’re walking through a grassy hillside with bright white flowers swaying in the wind. You take in the sights as you make your way toward a dense forest that’s in the direction of your intended destination. Suddenly, you notice a yellow bird flying above your head that catches your attention with its chirping.

You begin to follow the bird as it sings its distinct tune and glides back and forth in between the tall trees. The bird continues to guide you as you come to a clearing on yet another hill, and upon discovery, you notice an artifact lying on the ground. You pick up the artifact and add it to your collection before you’re back on track to your destination.

In a nutshell, that’s what it’s like to explore the world of Ghost of Tsushima.
