More Kurosawa than Ubisoft
People have been pointing out a lot the similarities with Ubisoft titles, especially Assassin's Creed, since it's historical fiction, but the swordplay feels better than anything Assassin's Creed games ever achieved. I think. I don't know, actually, since the last one I played was Syndicate. I've had enough. They're just so incoherent. And this is another major aspect about Ghost of Tsushima that sets it apart--the story is good and coherent. That's how Kurosawa used to make them: clear, compelling and highly artistic.
Agreed since AC Syndicate AC seemed to just go down.
