PlayStation fans are thoroughly enjoying Ghost of Yotei as it has debuted to a near perfect rating on the PSN store. It is the long-awaited sequel to Tsushima, and this time it stars Atsu instead of Jin. The game received glowing reviews from majority of outlets, to the point where it surpassed Tsushima on Metacritic. Now, in addition to critics, PlayStation gamers have given it a near perfect reception.
Ghost of Yotei has near perfect rating on PSN store
On the PSN store, Ghost of Yotei has a nearly flawless rating with a score of 4.89. The score remains the same regardless of region, and it is based off 9,282 ratings. As Sony’s breakdown shows, 96% of users have given the game 5-stars, meanwhile, only 1% have given it 4 and 3-stars with 2% a 1-star.
In comparison, the Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut has a 4.60 based off a much higher total of 269, 998 ratings. This suggests Ghost of Yotei’s score will likely lower, but 4.89 based off over 9,000 user scores is still impressive. Death Stranding 2 has a score of 4.89 on the PSN store, too, but with a total of 37, 948 ratings, so it will be interesting to see if Yotei can maintain its score.
Before Ghost of Yotei came out, there was a lot of trepidation mainly based off Atsu replacing Jin. The Tsushima protagonist quickly became a beloved icon, and the star of Yotei knew that replacing Jin was a “daunting” proposal. Fortunately, through a performance inspired by a myriad of influences such as Kill Bill to even Clint Eastwood, Atsu is a captivating character that is equally fun to play.
While Yotei is great, don’t expect it to be the end of the Ghost series as Sucker Punch has teased continuing to explore different time periods and settings with future installments. This suggests we may have seen the last of Atsu similar to Jin, and we are excited by the prospect of further exploring different pivotal moments of Japanese history.
