The Yotei Three are here to give you a full deep dive review of the latest Sucker Punch title: Ghost of Yotei. Following up approx. 300 years after the events of Ghost of Tsushima we follow Atsu on a mission of revenge and spirit! This title was fantastic and we have lots of thoughts on how this game hit us. Too many birds? Too few wolves? Take some time with us this Friday to figure out what makes this game sing!
