Asmongold Slams Ghost of Yotei: 'Better Than Assassin's Creed Shadows' But Still Disappointing?

He added that the game is "better than Assassin's Creed Shadows and worse than Rise of the Ronin."

Kitsu elaborated: "Played like 4 hours of ghost of yotei today. The game is aggresively mid. Story is alright, nothing outstanding so far. Average revenge plot.
