Customer Ratings & Reviews

The game takes gamers into Hokkaido like stepping into a living painting. It’s wild how good it looks. The leaves swirling around your feet, smoke lazily drifting off campfires, and light cutting through the trees. The whole vibe is so alive it barely feels like a game world; it’s more like nature decided to flex in digital form. The guiding wind is cool and all for immersion, but honestly? The map is the real MVP. Super clear, super fast—perfect for when you just want to get stuff done without wandering in circles. And the sound design? Unreal. Every crunch of snow, every distant howl makes you feel like you're out there alone, surviving in the cold. The devs nailed that isolated, meditative energy. Combat’s got that slick samurai rhythm—parry, deflect, switch stances, repeat. It’s smooth without being button-mashy, and when faster enemies show up, you’ve gotta actually focus, which keeps it fresh. Exploration’s a blast too. The game doesn’t shove markers in your face—it rewards curiosity, so going off the beaten path actually feels worth it. Only gripe? Grappling up steep cliffs can be a little clunky sometimes. But that’s tiny stuff compared to how much this game nails the balance between chill exploration and intense swordplay. From the first few minutes, it just *clicks*—and doesn’t let go.

Ghost of Yōtei is a stylish, cinematic action-adventure that feels like the natural follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima. You play as Atsu, a mercenary chasing down the “Yōtei Six” in a snowy, gorgeous world built entirely for PS5. The visuals are stunning, the DualSense support is top-tier, and the combat, with multiple weapons you can swap between on the fly, feels smooth and punchy. There are plenty of cool presentation modes (including a Kurosawa-style filter), and the story hits harder than you’d expect from a revenge tale. It does slow down a bit toward the end, and some of the climbing and exploration feels a little forced, but nothing that ruins the experience. Overall, it’s a beautiful, atmospheric adventure with great action and a strong lead — absolutely worth playing if you love stylish samurai vibes and open-world exploration.

Ghost of Yotei is absolutely breathtaking! The scenery, atmosphere, and attention to detail are incredible — it feels like stepping into a living piece of art. Every moment captures the spirit of adventure and the beauty of nature around Mt. Yotei. The storytelling, visuals, and overall experience are immersive and unforgettable. It’s the perfect blend of mystery, culture, and serenity. Truly an amazing experience from start to finish — a masterpiece that stays with you long after it’s over!

Ghost of Yotei is a stunning evolution of what Ghost of Tsushima started. The graphics are absolutely breathtaking; every snow-covered mountain, forest, and temple feels alive with incredible attention to detail. The open world is larger and more immersive, offering more dynamic weather, wildlife, and player freedom than before. It’s a noticeable improvement across the board, blending cinematic visuals with deeply engaging gameplay. Ghost of Yotei isn’t just a sequel, it’s a masterclass in how to expand and refine an already beloved world.

Ghost of Tsushima came out to mixed reviews at the time of release. Sucker Punch releases their game in close proximity to Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part 2. Over time, I feel that game got the love it deserved. That same love roles over into the studio's follow-up game. Ghost of Yotei starts by throwing you immediately into the main character's, Atsu, motivation. You feel for her right away and so you embark on this journey of revenge. Though the story and gameplay can be brutal, Sucker Punch has created a world that is beautiful. Japan somehow looks better this time around. I find myself bringing up photo mode every 5 minutes cause I'm seeing some of the most gorgeous scenes I've ever been treated to on screen. I'm only a few hours in, but the journey is great so far. The story is intriguing, I look forward to meeting new characters and diving into this story. The gameplay is great so far and I can see it only getting better as I notice the depth of the skill trees. If you enjoyed the first entry in the series, you know what you're getting yourself into with Ghost of Yotei. You won't experience anything revolutionary, but this is the type of iteration you want to see from studios that hone their craft. The improvements are evident which is why I'd easily recommend this to returning fans or any fan of the open world genre. I'm excited to continue my journey through Atsu's story.

I’m absolutely loving everything about this game. It’s everything the first game was, but even better. If you’re on the fence about playing, I highly recommend giving it a try. You’ll have a great time, I promise. You’re doing yourself a disservice by not playing. You’ve come this far, so come in and join the club!

Don’t listen to the haters this game is a masterpiece 10/10! loved every minute of this breath taking open world. Crazy good combat very likeable character I 100% completed this game, and got my platinum trophy well worth every penny.

Easily one of the reasons to go out and buy a PS5 Amazing graphics (especially if you have a PS5 Pro) Dualsense features that arent too gimmicky but fun Great story (I think the first game has a better story, but this is still very great) More freedom and choices within the gameplay The map is more segmented than the first game but is loaded with secrets and discoveries to make.

Ghost of Yōtei delivers a stunning, atmospheric samurai experience that builds on what fans loved before. The world is beautifully crafted, with sweeping landscapes, immersive combat, and a strong sense of solitude and honor woven into the story. Exploration feels rewarding, the action is cinematic and satisfying, and the overall tone strikes a perfect balance between quiet reflection and intense battles. A must-play for fans of story-driven open-world games and feudal Japan vibes.

For an open world game, this one is one of the best in the business. Great story, great combat, fun exploration and interesting characters.

Ghost of Yotei is an excellent game from the same studio that gave us Ghost of Tsushima. The story and visuals are top notch. The gameplay for Ghost of Yotei is a lot more polished compared to the previous title and offers a lot more to many different play styles due to varying armor characteristics and weapon combinations. The visuals are amazing just as you'd expect from the same developers. Overall, a must buy especially if you liked Ghost of Tsushima.

2025 has been a pretty fantastic year for video games and Ghost of Yōtei only adds to that. The graphics and combat are better than the first game while the story is new and unique. The game itself also feels finished with only one non-game breaking bug that I saw in 80 hours of play which is a lot I have talked with friends for hours about this game and I can’t wait to see what the multiplayer features are like in January. TL;DR: Fantastic game, definitely worth the price.

Ghost of Yotei follows Atsu as she travels around to get revenge for her family. Pretty standard revenge tale but the game really shines in its gameplay. The world is gorgeous, the sound design is beautiful (playing on my 7.1 home theater system) and the combat is engaging and at times challenging. Yotei took everything good from Tsuhima and gave you more of it. If you enjoyed Tsushima, you'll love Yotei.

I absolutely loved Ghost of Yotei. The visuals are breathtaking from start to finish, with a world so detailed it constantly pulls you off the main path just to take it all in. Combat feels incredibly crisp and satisfying, with enough depth and variety to stay engaging the entire time. If you enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, this is everything that game did—just bigger, smoother, and more refined. It doesn’t reinvent the formula, but it perfects it. It took me about 60 hours to 100%, and I genuinely enjoyed every minute. Between the immersive world, fluid gameplay, and polished PS5 performance, this is easily one of the best experiences on the platform. Highly recommend.

Ghost of Yōtei truly stands out both visually and artistically; every place you visit offers breathtaking landscapes. As an open-world game, side missions appear in a very natural and organic way. The gameplay is even better than Ghost of Tsushima, and the story is stronger as well. It’s amazing to see how the game has evolved and to enjoy every moment of it.

Spectacular game in every way! Beatiful graphics and suprisingly zenful moments mixed often between the epic violence, to keep offering many options to the taste of the masses. I did have to reduce the difficulty to beat the game, but only because Im an old button masher! :)

Gameplay and performance are very good on PS 5 Pro. Graphics are amazing and new expansion story is great as well.

One of the best games I’ve ever played. Graphics are simply gorgeous. It has an amazing and emotional story. It is hard to stop playing this game. Satisfying combat. Boss fights are fun even though some are very tough. I can’t wait for new game plus. A masterpiece for me.

This game definitely succeeded as a sequel game. The graphics, the game play the story is such an improvement from Tsushima. I fell in love with Atsu and her journey and the gameplay always has you on your feet. You're missing out if you don't have this game already

Overall the game is beautiful, good gameplay, and deserves a playthrough. The open world has improve a bit from tsushima but still not something to run home about.
