He glorified the team for not deviating from the culture of the time while exploring a gruesome yet gratifying story. As a result, you can expect to find a myriad of real-life locations while dealing with the Mongol invasion. Another Japanese developer and a renowned legend in the industry, Shinji Mikami, also praised the RPG when he played back in May 2023 this year. Similarly, a slew of other Japanese devs have been pleased with the game.

Even the dev behind Tenchu and Kamiwaza, Takuma Endo, went as far as to declare that Ghost of Tsushima made Japanese history a separate genre in gaming. These praises hold great significance because the entry was in a bit of controversy before launch. Many in the gaming industry assumed that a non-Japanese team would not be able to catch a perfect Japanese setting. Sucker Punch was quick to prove the world wrong.
