Ghost of Yōtei Review

Описание: My fifth of five reviews for the 2026 DICE Game of the Year! Below you'll find the synopsis of Ghost of Yōtei, as well as all the awards it's nominated for.

Synopsis: Ghost of Yōtei is a 2025 standalone sequel to Ghost of Tsushima set in 1603, 300 years later. It follows Atsu, a, "haunted" mercenary traversing the rugged Ezo (Hokkaido) region in a, "bloody" revenge quest against the, "Yōtei Six" outlaws who slaughtered her family.
