Ghost of Yotei really expands the side content compared to previous games. You’ll find: - Hidden shrines and statues inspired by Ainu folklore - Seasonal hunting challenges that change depending on weather - Collectible masks, charms, and talismans that unlock special abilities - Puzzle-based mini dungeons in caves and mountain trails These side activities aren’t just filler—they actually contribute to your character’s progression and give a reason to explore every corner of Mount Yōtei.

The thing that blows me away isn't just the resolution or framerate, it's the asset quality and draw distance. Every tree, rock, and building is incredibly detailed, and you can see all the way from the base of Mount Yotei to its snow-capped peak with no pop-in. The way the light filters through the dense canopy of the forests or reflects off wet rocks after rain is just breathtaking. It consistently looks like a pre-rendered concept painting come to life.
