Ghost of Yōtei's lo-fi beats mode sums up the very best and very worst of this very weird series


Ghost of Yotei looks great, but it'd do better to shed the pretence of serious art and just commit to the popcorn flick vibes.

After about fifteen minutes of standard new-weapons-and-mechanics chatter in Ghost of Yōtei's big gameplay deep dive reveal video last night, we moved on to that section I think we probably all saw coming. And I have hovered, for the best part of a year, over the Buy button for a nearly two-metre-tall French Grande Kurosawa exhibition poster on Ebay that absolutely would not fit in my living room. This comes back again to the lo-fi beats mode we're getting in Ghost of Yōtei, which is there because Sucker Punch wanted to "celebrate two other influential directors who have had an impact on the genre as a whole."
