Two great games, but very different. I found LOU2 incredibly engaging from a story and game play perspective. The cutscenes seamlessly blend into the gameplay, there is great choice in how to approach each situation, the acting and overall production quality is probably the best ever. It felt like a step forward for the medium to me.
Ghost of Tsushima on the other hand is very on the nose and "video gamey" if that makes sense. It's a pretty basic open world game that lacks variety in it's mission structure and doesn't really do anything new. It can be repetitive and clunky at moments. It took me a good bit of time to adjust to it because I played it immediately after The Last of Us 2.
With that being said- I got the platinum in Ghosts and after I adjusted got very hooked on it. It's only the second game I've ever got the platinum on so that tells you something. It's beautiful, addicting, and has surprisingly fun combat. They take a bunch of elements from different games and mash them into an interesting samurai story.
Two great games to end the generation on.
