Ghost of Tsushima
From the very moment you boot up the game, you’re thrown into the chaos that is Tsushima’s samurai versus Khotun Khan’s Mongol army. Jin Sakai and his uncle, Lord Shimura, overlook the invading fleet, proclaiming the samurai’s honor. Following the Khan’s dastardly response, the battle begins in earnest, flaming arrows dotting the skies and the horseback Samurai colliding with the Mongols. The bodies begin piling up and it’s not long before Jin and Lord Shimura are separated. The pacing eventually shifts towards Jin awakening thanks to the help of a thief named Yuna, recovering his sword and facing the Khan in a hopeless battle. Those moments enlighten the player on Jin’s upbringing, his honor and ultimately, what he must do if he hopes to win against the invaders.
