Samurai sword-fighting has never been prettier.

Ghost of Tsushima is the first non-Infamous game from Sucker Punch Productions since 2005. While we said it capped off the PS4 era in style in our review, it’s not all that unique in an overflowing genre. Still, we poured a ton of time into the game and found it to be a lot of fun. If you’re just starting out your adveture, we have a handful of guides that’ll make your life even easier.

Remember when The Last of Us Part 2 advertised that you could kill dogs? Well I hardly killed in in Naughty Dog’s title, but I sure killed a lot in Ghost of Tsushima. There are several types of enemies aside from Mongols, but most fall into one of four categories: Swordsmen, Shieldsmen, Spearsmen, and Brutes. Using the appropraite stances is key to staggering them and taking them down.
