Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure game developed by Sucker Punch Productions and released for PlayStation 4 by Sony Interactive Entertainment. It has an open world for players to explore, and it revolves around Jin Sakai (one of the last samurai). Tsushima Island was during the first Japanese invasion of Japan. The game was released on July 17, 2020. Ghost of Tsushima has been praised for its visual effects and combat effectiveness, but has been criticized for its open-world activities.

The ghost of Tsushima occurred in Japan in the 13th century, when Mongol troops invaded this island called Kojima. The audience play as Jin Sakai, one of the last remaining samurai on Tsushima Island. Initially, Jin’s goal is to rescue his uncle, the leader of the Tsushima warrior regiment. The whole game is portrayed on an island that has been captured by the Mongolian leader. It has various areas and buildings, such as villages, fields, shrines, ancient forests,farms, mountain views and various landmarks.

Tsushima’s Ghost is an action-escapade stealth game from a third-person perspective. It has a vast open world, without any waypoints, and can be explored without guidance.  Players can ride horses to quickly travel to different parts of the game world. Items used as grappling hooks can be used to enter hard-to-reach areas. The game has great auxiliary tasks and non-playable characters that can be interacted with. Players can use weapons such as katana to directly confront the enemy. It does not contain road signs, and players have complete freedom to explore the game world. According to game director Nate Fox, the team tried hard to create this play attractive to players by indulging in the creation of “fantasy of becoming a samurai” during the conceptualization process. The music of the game was composed by Ilan Eshkeri and Shigeru Umebayashi.
