In this episode of 3v0, we dive deep into Ghost of Tsushima, the breathtaking
action-adventure game set during the Mongol invasion of Japan. Jordan shares why this
game quickly became a favorite—discussing everything from its emotionally rich story,
tactical combat mechanics, and stealth-vs-honor gameplay to the beauty of open-world
exploration. We also unpack its nuanced characters, poetic moments (literally—there are
haikus), and the game’s deeper reflections on tradition, trauma, and transformation.
Whether you're a samurai fanatic or just here for the fox shrines, this episode is for you.
