Sharpen your blade, hit the hot springs, and calm your mind with a haiku by the river. Tonight, we’re going all out against an invading Mongol horde in hopes of saving our island, avenging our fallen brothers, and bringing honour to our clan. That’s right, this week the boys are talking Playstation’s samurai epic, “Ghost Of Tsushima”.

We are beyond stoked to dive into this and talk about what we love about this game. We give a general rundown of “Ghost”, its accolades and discuss how amazing it is. We try not to spoil the story but gush about what it does really well, it’s very few misses and the amazing world Sucker Punch has created. Though “Ghost” doesn’t necessarily invent anything new in the gaming world, it perfects a style that we’ve already seen time and time again by merging so many different aspects in very cool and innovative ways. Plus, it is absolutely gorgeous to look at, fun to play, and has a kick-ass story. Let’s go.

We also rant about video game reviews (and critics in general) and why they’re kind of dumb (especially in the case of video games), other sword and shield open-world video games, PALMREADER’s fox encounter, the upcoming Ghost Of Tsushima movie, the uncertain future of filmmaking in the age of the video game, video game storytelling, and a bunch of other things.

If you haven’t checked this game out already, hopefully, this episode inspires you to pick it up and give it a try. It is definitely worth it.

Next week? Well, We don’t want to spoil it but if you’re a fan of 2000s hip-hop, you’re gonna love it. The streets need this one.
