This game promises to maintain the essence of what made the successor game Ghost of Tsushima special. But this new version of the game also brings with it some freshness of elements that will show the historical aspect a bit more than the original game. And this can also be the reason why it can be a next-gen hit as it contains the freshness required in a new game while also maintaining the original essence.
