Once again, Ghost of Tsushima really ate this game's lunch. It has it beat on pretty much everything, including open world. This game really should have come out 10-8 years ago.I'll be honest bros
Yasuke controversy aside, gameplay aside, shitty historical accuracy aside, I'm not sure what's supposed to be the appeal when this doesn't even have a map of Japan. It's a map of a small swath of Honshu. Doesn't even have the most interesting part of Japan (besides the capitals) in this era, Kyushu. What the fuck is this shit? Origins depicted most of Egypt, at least the important stuff. Odyssey had Greece. Valhalla had England and then a crap ton of stuff besides. This is garbage.
At this point I think this is because their "experts" don't know diddly squat about Japan and don't want to accidentally include something that doesn't exist that one of their "experts" saw in an anime once(like that promotional sword, lmao).Supposedly they were intentionally creating a sort of pseudo fictional version of Japan and avoiding recreating real life locations to avoid further controversy.
Probably a smart move. Compilations of Kang smashing up real world shrines and temples wouldn't go over very well.
