Ghost of Yotei lands on PS5 as a big-budget, story-led action game in the same conversation as other cinematic PlayStation adventures. If you’ve enjoyed modern open-world swordplay and stealth games, this is the sort of release that aims to scratch that itch, with a focus on atmosphere, exploration and set-piece combat rather than arcade pacing.

Who will get the most out of Ghost of Yotei?

This one suits players who like taking their time: clearing side activities, soaking up a strong sense of place, and switching between direct fights and quieter approaches. It’s also a solid pick if you want something that shows off the PS5’s strengths — fast loading keeps momentum up, while the presentation leans into dramatic lighting and detailed environments to sell the world.
