Last week?s State of Play broadcast focused on delivering a Ghost of Tsushima deep dive. Since then, more information has emerged piecemeal. One new tidbit concerns what to expect from the action title?s combat, which will supposedly be ?very challenging.? So challenging, in fact, that the protagonist Jin may find himself defeated after only a couple of blows from an enemy?s sword.
In an IGN interview, Game Director Nate Fox said the challenge came from Sucker Punch?s desire to ?honor the lethality of the sword.? As such, players won?t mow down foes with ease. According to Fox,
