With Ghost of Tsushima’s State of Play reveal, one bit of news that struck as particularly interesting was the entire exploration aspect. Aside from not having one’s typical waypoints and minimaps like in other open-world games, Ghost of Tsushima will have a very limited system to the point where it won’t even exist in an effort to allow players as much exploration as possible.
