Ghost of Tsushima Gameplay

Ghost of Tsushima is a third-person action-adventure game with open-world elements. Players take control of a single character and must travel the land to accomplish various tasks. The game has a main story, as well as various side missions that expand on the game's world and characters.

As an action-adventure game, players will control their characters in real-time. Armed primarily with a katana, players must engage in melee combat with enemy combatants. While in combat, players can freely switch between four stances, each of which is strong against a particular enemy type. The Water stance, for example, is strong against shielded enemies. While fighting, players will have access to smaller equipment like smoke bombs and kunai that they can use to gain an advantage on the battlefield.

Players will also have access to ranged weaponry, such as two versions of the bow, as well as a blowdart. These allow the player to take care of enemies from afar, whittling down their numbers to make it easier when fighting them in close combat.

Of course, frontal combat is not the only way to go about this game. Players can also choose to play stealthily, allowing them to take out most opponents in a single attack. Players can use their bows to quietly neutralize enemies, hide in tall grass to assassinate enemies that pass by, or even use explosive barrels and fire to take care of multiple enemies at once. Players are free to choose between the two approaches when deciding how to tackle missions.

Throughout the game, players will unlock different armors, each with their own strengths and weaknesses. Some armor, for example, gives the player more HP, while also allowing them to regain them upon taking down an enemy. Others improve the player's ability to stealthily move around. Players can freely change their armor, even while in combat, so changing to the right armor at the right time could mean the difference between life or death.
