Review: Ghost of Tsushima

This week's review is Ghost of Tsushima, the 2020 video game about a Mongol invasion on the island of Tsushima set in the 13th century. Did I like it? Did I dislike it? The answer is no to both of those questions and I spend this text trying to figure out why. I also wonder: what does it mean when a violent story is just so beautiful? Can you be afraid of a villain you do not know? And how do you fight for something you don't quite care about?
