Damn, LN1 is indeed a masterpiece, and I enjoyed the second even more personally 😅

But yeah, Reanimal is looking mighty tasty.

I have a huge soft spot in my heart for the series so I'm sure I'll still enjoy it but I'm sad it seems like Supermassive played it too safe with this one from what I've read.

Feels like we'll have to wait for Tarsier's Reanimal for that horror itch.

The game will also be getting a free update featuring a new dungeon, enemies, bosses, costumes, UI improvements and more

Loving it. Exploration/world design is addictvely good. Combat hasn't gotten old yet and is super fun. And I'm vibing with Atsu a lot.

Agreed! Those are sick captures too, well done 🙌

Shinobi602 @shinobi602.bsky.social · 3d

It's a badass set. I set it back to the lower tier one because even though I love the look, it doesn't feel like something Atsu would wear in my head lol

It's such a badass addition to combat this time. Do it all the time

I'm about 10 hrs into Ghost of Yotei - and I'm having even more fun than with Tsushima.

Exploration/world design is addictively good - everything flows so organically. Atsu is charismatic with a "stranger come to town" vibe. Stunning visuals. And combat is so crunchy and satisfying. I'm hooked.
