You May Have Already Played Ghost of Yotei Before in 2025, and I Don't Mean Assassin's Creed Shadows

I know I'm not alone when I say that I have been waiting over 5 years for Ghost of Tsushima's successor to arrive, as that game left its mark on me and many others during one of the most tumultuous seasons of our lives, and I couldn't wait to see what Sucker Punch came up with next. Now, Ghost of Yotei is finally here, and I've already put somewhere around 15 hours into it, exploring Ezo on the back of my horse, Homura, bearing witness to one of the most beautiful open worlds I've ever seen. However, while I would like to say that everything I'm experiencing is fresh and new, I can't shake the feeling that I've played Ghost of Yotei before — and I don't mean Assassin's Creed Shadows.
