Don't forget the verticality! The addition of a proper, Assassin's Creed-style free-climbing system on most rock faces and buildings completely changes stealth. You're no longer confined to predetermined paths. You can scale a fortress wall, sneak across rooftops, and drop down on enemies from above. This, combined with the new "Swallow Drop" assassination skill, makes navigating enemy encampments a totally new and more dynamic experience.

To avoid major spoilers, the core theme is synthesis. Kaito is literally caught between two worlds—his Emishi heritage and his Japanese upbringing—and the game is about him finding a way to blend the strengths of both to create something new and powerful enough to defeat a conventional, overwhelming enemy. It's a more personal and culturally complex story than Tsushima's, which was more about honor versus pragmatism. The official story trailer on YouTube does a great job of setting the tone without giving away the big twists.

I noticed in gameplay previews that a shrine includes a silhouette of Jin Sakai, which is a nice touch for fans. But narrative-wise, no returning characters play a role in the story. More like background lore enrichment.

No, it is not a direct sequel. Think of it more as a "spiritual successor" set within the same fictionalized version of historical Japan. It shares the same core DNA—a stunning open world, tense combat, a focus on stealth, and a story about a warrior challenging their code—but it features a brand new story, new characters, and a new setting over a century later. You do not need to have played Ghost of Tsushima to understand or enjoy Ghost of Yotei at all.

I also noticed the stamina management is more critical. You can’t just spam attacks; you need to plan combos and retreat strategically. It’s more tactical than the first game.
