[Mobile Games] Ghost of Tsushima 2 Must Bring Back the Original's Sweetest Feature

[JuveN]

 

As one of the most beautiful games of 2020, Ghost of Tsushima was a welcome addition to the long list of iconic PlayStation exclusives. Since its release nearly four years ago, many fans have been hoping that a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima will soon be announced. If Sucker Punch reveals a follow-up to this hit action adventure title, the game would greatly benefit from a simple, yet charming, feature.Ghost of Tsushima brought players a wonderfully crafted story filled with artful combat, but some of the most simple parts of the game helped make it feel even more special. One of the most subtle in-game features that truly set the game apart was Ghost of Tsushima's wind navigation, which guided players to where they needed to go. However, one more feature added a fun element that needs to be explored further.Although it seems fairly simple compared to everything else the game has to offer, allowing players to choose their horse and its name in Ghost of Tsushima was an unexpected feature that added a fun layer of charm to the game. If this feature returns in a Ghost of Tsushima sequel, Sucker Punch could build on this further to give more impact to the overall gameplay.

In Ghost of Tsushima, players get the choice between three different horses; black, white, and dapple. Once players choose their preferred appearance, they also get the choice of Nobu, Sora, and Kage as names for the horse. The type of horse and which name is chosen has no impact on Ghost of Tsushima's gameplay and story, but a sequel could change this to add another layer of challenge.

When it comes to choosing horses in a hypothetical Ghost of Tsushima sequel, which horse a player chooses should actually matter. Each horse can have different stats that cater to a player's desired playing style. One style of horse could be much stronger, while another horse could have better overall stamina. This would be a great way to make this choice actually matter in the long run, affecting how a player approaches traveling by horse in the game.

The three name options given for the horses in Ghost of Tsushima all have important meanings, but allowing players to customize their horse's name could be a fun way to expand upon this feature. When it comes to features in a Ghost of Tsushima sequel, giving players more freedom of choice would be ideal, and giving players the choice to customize their horse's name would be a simple way to give players more freedom within the game. Another way Sucker Punch could approach this would be to make horse name customization part of a New Game+ mode as a fun reward for players who are able to complete the game's story.

As of now, the future of Ghost of Tsushima is a mystery, and there doesn't seem to be any word from Sucker Punch on the horizon. The developer has been quiet about a potential sequel. Although the reveal of a Ghost of Tsushima sequel would be incredible, the next chapter has a lot to live up to, but if Sucker Punch expands on the many features that made the game such a unique experience, it can be a worthy successor.
