I've only beaten the game once so far, but yes, it absolutely seems like Ghost of Yotei has multiple major endings, more than just the binary choice from Tsushima. The developers really leaned into the idea that Atsu's path to vengeance could be a corrupting force. Without giving away spoilers, the story is structured around hunting down the Yōtei Six. The order in which you choose to confront them, and more importantly, the choices you make in the final moments with certain key characters, drastically shift the final cinematic and the epilogue. It's less about a moral 'Samurai vs. Ghost' meter and more about the psychological toll of her actions. I'd highly recommend doing a second playthrough if you want to see the 'darker' path, because it truly changes Atsu's fate and her legacy as the Ghost of Yotei.

Yes, absolutely! And without giving away any spoilers, the ending you get is directly tied to several key choices you make throughout the game, particularly in the final act. It's not just one binary decision; it's a culmination of your actions. Think carefully about your allegiances and what "honor" means to your version of the protagonist. The community has generally agreed there are at least three distinct endings, with some variations within them.

The best thing about the Kusarigama in Ghost of Yotei is that it's your go-to for breaking enemy composition. Have you ever been annoyed by an archer on a ridge or a gunner behind a line of swordsmen? The Kusarigama lets you reach them. The new Grapple Attack mechanic, which is tied to this weapon, allows Atsu to pull an enemy toward her or quickly zip to a distant, exposed foe, closing the gap instantly. It breaks the "standoff" feel of the first game and makes the battlefield feel much more dynamic. It’s essential for speed-runners and high-level combat because of how quickly you can reposition and eliminate key threats. It's basically your ninja tool mixed with your main weapon, which really emphasizes the Ghost side of the game's title. I found a killer video showcasing all the moves here: Kusarigama Combat Showcase
