I don’t usually make posts like this, but after putting a huge amount of time into Legends and now Ghost of Yōtei, I feel like I need to say something.

First off, thank you to Sucker Punch Productions for creating one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I’ve played in years. Legends especially gave me countless hours of challenge, experimentation, and satisfaction. I met great players, learned difficult content, and pushed myself into solo runs because the gameplay was just that rewarding.

That’s exactly why this feels disappointing.

Ghost of Yōtei feels limited in playability compared to what made Legends special. The biggest issue for me is how restricted the combat sandbox feels now, especially with ghost weapons. Bombs and other tools don’t feel satisfying or impactful anymore, and instead of opening up creative playstyles, it feels like the game narrows you into specific “correct” ways to play.

The class balance also feels uneven. Some classes clearly have more freedom, survivability, or usefulness than others, and it gives the impression that personal preference isn’t really respected. In Legends, even if there was a meta, you could still make your preferred class work through skill and mastery. Here, it feels like the gap is much harder to overcome.

And honestly, if someone willing to grind solos and learn mechanics at a high level is feeling dissatisfied, then I can’t imagine more casual players will stay invested long term either. I’m not saying this as someone who hates the game — it’s the opposite. I’m saying it because I cared enough to push the game to its limits.

I really wanted this to have the same longevity and replayability that Legends had for me, but right now it feels like the freedom and creativity got trimmed back too much.

Still, I appreciate the memories and the fun while it lasted. I genuinely hope the feedback gets heard because the foundation is there.

Anyone able to help me beat Saito Hell, friend got it, said I couldn’t get it by Friday and bet me $20, I don’t give a shit about the money, I just want to run my mouth, if you can carry me I’ll give you the money

I just got back to playing GOTL and ik it’s more “polished” compared to GOYL but playing assassin in the previous one feels much better imo than GOY. I just want your opinions on this as it is just something that crossed my mind from playing both games.

Edit: the drip is LEAGUES better in GOTL

I got this on my second try which is why the in game time says 08:01.

Looking to use the two most Shinobi like weapons but everywhere I look it seems people dont really like them, especially together :(

Don’t care if it’s on the harder end to use, I’m willing to learn

I have been using the same build since launch and its gotten quite boring

I have been playing this game sinds launch and in my experience everybody is always nice but today i had the worst teammate ever bro kept dying to single enemys and got mad at me for not reviving him while i was fighting 5-10. Never knew people like this played goy legends

Like the title says, there are multiple weapon kits and other cosmetics you can get from playing the campaign. Is there any list?
So far I only got two katana skins 2 masks and 2 body cosmetics

Any tips for Exp farming other than squadmates equipping Sensei's guidance?

Grinding to level 100 to get the sword vfxs is soo draining

I’ve got my Archer to rank 42 and still haven’t found a single ranged/class-specific charm. All I keep getting are Samurai and Assassin charms like Shadow Bite and Samurai Honor, a few legendaries, and those utterly useless Sacrifice charms. Where are the Archer or Mercenary class charms?

So far, this game has been a massive disappointment. Assassin feels incredibly boring his ultimate distance is so short and isn’t as good as GOT, yes, assassination damage can be buffed as well, but the smoke bomb feels completely useless compared to GOTLegends Melee combat also feels weak! you spend forever breaking an enemy’s defense only to land one or two hits before they instantly turtle up again.

Honestly, Ghost of Tsushima Legends felt far better designed. Yotei had years of development, yet somehow it feels more shallow in build variety, combat flow, and overall gameplay depth. What were the devs smoking?

note the kusarigama also not added on samurai, it would’ve been cool to have expert combo with ragin flame? But nope..
rant over

I’m trying to refine my samurai and I wanna work in a stagger build but I’m struggling with deciding how much to put into each of the samurai’s stats.

For example, on an assassin, you want +110% assassination damage to 1-shot assassinate medium enemies. Or +20% spirit move damage on vanishing kusarigama to kill light enemies with one spirit move.

Are there certain percentages to aim for with all melle damage / enemy staggered damage / all weapon stagger damage on a samurai?

Do blue jufu archers have a weakness?

Post Hachiman stagger buff I swear no weapon causes the stagger buff to trigger.

Secondly, it seems Odachi generals and Oni are weak to Katana instead of Odachi? Why is this?

edit: Solved thanks.

Not played since the raid released

A little compilation of bullshit situations from the Ghost of Yotei Legends mode. I hope the developers will have a lot of fun watching it.
