Ghost of Yotei is quite a different game as compared to others. This is what I can say after playing it for the first time. It’s basically an action adventure game which was developed by Sucker Punch Productions.
Even before the game was announced, I was wondering about Ghost of Tsushima as both look like the same. For a man like Jin Sakai, whose sole purpose has become eradicating the Mongol army.
The surprising element here is that how come he appeared yet again in the second game with no army left with him to fight any longer. It seems Sucker Punch determined that skipping ahead in time was the right call.
Although Ghost of Yotei happens to be a game full of adventure and action, there are manyevents that look quite similar to Ghost of Tsushima along with some of its characters. But in reality, the game is quite different than others.
It’s because it has quite a different story with its own villains and heros. While knowing more about the game, I came to know that Ghost of Yotei had such a positive reception. urprisingly, an actor from the game echoed the sentiment, believing Sucker Punch made the right choice throughout production.
Ghost of Yotei Star Explains Why the Time Skip Was A Clever Decision
While having a recent interaction with Game Reactor, renowned actor Feodor Chin clarified in his own way about some of the characters that he played in Ghost of Tsushima.
He further stated that it looked quite surprising to him about his decision to just skip a few hundred years into the future for the sequel of Ghost of Tsushima. He not only realized that it was quite surprising to him but also the right choice made in the end.
Chin stated that they might disappoint others in regards to any franchise whatsoever. He later clarified and revealed his decision to make it look completely different mainly because it existed in the same world just like Tsushima.
It means you are going to get most of the things that you simply like. But this is not the case. Those gamers who are new to the game and don’t know much about it will get a lot more surprises than they expected.
In the end, it was a clever storytelling decision by Sucker Punch to handle things that way by allowing it to unburden the sequel from old characters and begin Ghost of Yotei with a brand-new story.
Many who waited to see Jin take on another epic journey may have found the shift disappointing. But honestly, the notion of Ghost shifting through multiple historical eras sounds like a much more exciting path forward.
