I’ve gone back to playing Ghost of Tsushima, for the first time, a bunch recently. Took a long break from it after Act I, but just because I didn’t want to marathon it all at once. It’s probably my favorite melee combat game that isn’t a full-fledged RPG, and the story is fantastic. I’m really glad that it’s more grounded in realism, for the most part, rather than relying on fantasy gimmicks and magic. Plus playing it with Japanese audio is an absolute treat.
Man that series fell off quickly after that one. I liked 3 a good bit, but it was still a massive downgrade from Far Cry 2 in some respects. Just replayed 2 on PC at the start of the year after not playing it since the Xbox 360 days in 720p.
