Ghost of Tsushima is an action-adventure game by Sucker Punch production. The game has been lauded for its stunning open-world detail and visuals.

The game is set on Tsushima Island in the 13th century. The setting has been heavily inspired by history and that is very evident once you fire up the game. The plot starts with the Mongol Empire invading Japan and defeating almost all legendary fighters of the land. One of the last surviving Samurai, Jin Sakai, fights back with allies, forging a new way to defeat the Mongol Empire.
