Since finishing Chocobo Mystery Dungeon, I’ve been sorta casually playing some Tomb Raider; Rise of the Tomb Raider, one of this month’s free Playstation Plus offerings. And it’s been no small amount of fun to be the badass Lara Croft, able to take on – and crush – entire Siberian prison camps with a couple sticks and a bit of string.
But the buzz surrounding today’s release of Ghost of Tsushima (a name I am training myself to pronounce correctly) was too much to ignore. Last night I left Lara at one of her innumerable base camps beneath the very noses of the enemy, and took up the *katana and bushido of Jin Satai, last of the Tsushima samurai, off to avenge his honor against Hans Gruber and the rest of the Mongol horde.
It’s been fun so far, but remembering all of the fighting and blocking moves is making me tense up. I’ve been okay so far, but then again I have barely started.
More later.
- okay, the Mongol leader’s name isn’t Hans Gruber, but I’ve already forgotten his name, so until I remember it, can we just go with Hans? Ghosts of Tsushima is basically Die Hard with a Katana so far anyway :-)
