Speaking of the NPCs, Ronin does a great job of making them fun to interact with. You can form bonds with them and increase your level of friendship to unlock in-game bonuses (sometimes loot, sometimes bonus points to improve your character) and further advance down each NPCs personal story. Some decisions you make can get them killed off, and sometimes you save their lives and add them to the roster of NPCs available to go on missions with you. They all have distinctive personalities and the voice acting is very well done for most if not all of them.
.
The graphics are very well done. It's a lot of fun wandering around the open areas and looking at all of the scenery if you like that kind of thing in a game. The devs did a great job on the design for the areas you get to wander around in. Whether it's city, village, countryside, wilderness, it's all very nicely done.

Were you a fan of the Batman Arkham games? You'll get a bit of that vibe in this game. Plenty of opportunities for you to take down enemies using stealth methods. Plus as you advance in the game's main storyline, you get "technology upgrades" like a collapsible paraglider contraption that lets you glide around like Batman, plus a fancy rope contraption that lets you rappel around and climb buildings and yank enemies up off the ground for a stealth takedown. It gets a little steam punkish in that respect in that you even get a proto-flamethrower weapon option you can use if you want.
.
Lots of customization options too. Not just your character's physical looks, but plenty of different gear/costuming options. I also like that the game lets you lock in the outfit look that you like the most. This lets you swap gear in and out for stat bonuses without changing how your character looks. Fighting styles allow you lots of combat customization as well. As do the decent amount of weapon options, including lots of melee options (like two-handed swords, katanas, dual katanas, spears, polearms, etc.), plus bows (with poison and flame tipped arrow options), shurikens, pistols and rifles (it is the 1860s after all). As you advance in the game, you can improve your abilities with bows and rifles so that you can even get some sniping in.
.
I've seen some people complaining about bugs, but me personally, I've run into very few game glitches. Occasionally there'll be a minor graphics glitch here or there, but I've got a bit over 50 hours in the game at the moment (and still I think only about 3/4 of the way done) and I think I've had things like that happen maybe 3-4 times total and they were always easy to deal with by doing something like rotating the in-game camera around to look at something else. I've not had a single instance of anything like broken quests/missions or anything that dumped me out of the game.
.
If, like me, you would like something similar to Ghost of Tsushima, then check this game out. It's similar, but definitely with its own "personality" to it. Even if you didn't play Tsushima but enjoy open world games with plenty of room to roam and lots to do (like Witcher 3 for example) (gambling, side quests galore, sparring to improve your combat abilities, cat collecting, gardening to grow herbs for crafting, etc.) in addition to the main storyline and fighting, you can't go wrong with this game.
Ghost of Tsushima:
Pros:
Breathtaking Visuals: From sweeping landscapes to intricate details in armor and weaponry, Ghost of Tsushima sets a new standard for visual storytelling.
Engaging Combat: The fluidity of combat combined with the variety of techniques and stances keeps every encounter fresh and exhilarating.
Rich Narrative: The tale of Jin Sakai's transformation from honorable samurai to stealthy Ghost is gripping, filled with memorable characters and moral dilemmas.
Open-World Exploration: Tsushima Island is a joy to explore, with hidden shrines, breathtaking vistas, and dynamic weather adding depth to the experience.
Cons:
Occasional Repetition: Some side activities can feel repetitive after a while, though the stunning scenery often makes up for it.
Limited Enemy Variety: While the combat is satisfying, facing the same types of enemies throughout the game can become predictable.
Verdict: Ghost of Tsushima stands as a masterpiece of storytelling, gameplay, and visual design. Its attention to detail and emotional depth make it a must-play for any samurai enthusiast.
Ronin:
Pros:
Unique Setting: Ronin's feudal Japan setting offers a fresh perspective on samurai tales, focusing on the life of a wandering swordsman.
Stealth Mechanics: Players can embrace the way of the ninja, utilizing stealth and deception to overcome challenges and foes.
Character Customization: The ability to customize your ronin's appearance and abilities adds a personal touch to the experience.
Fast-Paced Action: Ronin excels in delivering intense, fast-paced combat encounters that keep players on their toes.
Cons:
Technical Issues: Some players have reported bugs and performance issues that detract from the overall experience.
Shallow Story: While the premise is intriguing, Ronin's narrative lacks the depth and emotional resonance found in Ghost of Tsushima.
Limited Exploration: The game's linear structure limits opportunities for exploration and discovery compared to its open-world counterpart.
Verdict: Ronin offers a solid samurai experience with its focus on stealth and action, but it falls short in terms of narrative depth and technical polish when compared to Ghost of Tsushima.
Assassin's Creed Shadows:
As a fan eagerly anticipating the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows game, I'm thrilled by the prospect of diving into another rich historical setting filled with intrigue, assassinations, and breathtaking landscapes. While details are scarce at the moment, the promise of exploring feudal Japan through the lens of the Assassin's Creed universe has me counting down the days until its release.
In conclusion, both Ghost of Tsushima and Ronin offer their own take on the samurai experience, with Ghost of Tsushima emerging as the superior title thanks to its immersive world, compelling narrative, and polished gameplay. As we eagerly await the arrival of Assassin's Creed Shadows, it's clear that the allure of samurai adventures continues to captivate gamers around the world.
