Ghost of Tsushima’s most notable feature is easily its combat mechanics. Every time you swing your sword, satisfaction will take over you. Each swing is so smooth, crisp, and feels authentic. Today, Sucker Punch Productions revealed that achieving such a feat was not an easy affair.
The team of devs behind Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch Productions, claimed that it took more than six years to perfect the game’s combat style. The devs continued testing umpteen approaches until they were finally satisfied with the final outcome. Therefore, it took Sucker Punch Productions over six years to be pleased with the fight mechanics.
The game’s in-depth combat system allows for both stealth and direct attacks as per your inclinations. On top of this, you have a myriad variety of tactics, gear, and special abilities to wipe out anyone with sheer grace and force.
In a digital AMA session, Sucker Punch co-founder Brian Fleming disclosed that the game’s fighting mechanics’ execution was,
“by far the hardest thing the team has ever done.”

“Easy answer, and the answer is combat. The combat system was something that the team that worked on that — the handful of programmers and designers and animators — you know they worked nonstop for six years and built multiple versions of it with multiple approaches.”

Flemming added.
Due to the hard work that the team of developers put in, the game has done so well commercially and critically. Sucker Punch also won the hearts of the fans through their portrayal of the island, Jin Sakai.
With the game receiving oodles of love worldwide, it’s no surprise that Ghost of Tsushima has a completion rate of 50.2%, the second-highest of any open-world PS4 game.
Only Marvel’s Spider-Man, another fan favorite, has a better completion rate.
