Ghost of Tsushimahas been praised for its amazing visuals, with some scenes of gameplay even looking like cutscenes. Nowhere is that more obvious than in SunhiLegend’s new clip in which he stylishlydispatches three enemy Mongolsin quick succession.
Though players initially start out with typical samurai tools such as Jin’s katana and tanto,Ghost of Tsushimagrants players Ghost Weapons to help diversify their abilities. These Ghost weapons, in particular the smoke bomb and sticky bomb, play a vital role in this triple kill, as well as the chain assassination ability.

The full clip can be viewed below, and it truly does play out like acinematic cutscene or aGhost of Tsushimamovie. These three enemies barely had time to react to what happened to them before they were all dead, and the number of techniques SunhiLegend is able to combine into one fluid motion is absolutely awesome.
The clip starts off with Jin riding full speed at a group of three Mongols while riding his horse. As he approaches them, they notice and begin to draw their weapons, but not before the Samurai leaps from his horse and drops a smoke bomb on the group. The smoke bomb causes them all to lose sight of Jin, and he uses this opportunity to chain assassinate two of the three Mongols. By the time this is over, the smoke has cleared and the third and final Mongol notices him again. The enemycharges at Jin but is deftly knocked away with a perfect parry.
Here’s where things get especially crazy. After parrying the Mongol, Jin kicks him into the air and throws one ofGhost of Tsushima’s sticky bombs. The bomb connects with the enemy before he even hits the ground, and the ensuing explosion knocks him back even further. Though he does survive this blast, he isn’t able to stand up fast enough, and before he knew it, Jin was upon him to deal a finishing blow to the grounded opponent. In a matter of seconds, all three enemies were gone and a vast portion of Jin’s arsenal were all used in conjunction to accomplish that goal.
Ghost of Tsushimahas ways of catering to each individual’s particular playstyle, as the player is in complete control over what armor and skills they invest in throughout the game. In general, commenters were blown away by the clip, with many saying they thought it was a cutscene at first.
