Ghost of Tsushima movie

Playing Ghost of Tsushima already feels like a grand cinematic experience. Granted, its main story is long and takes around 25 hours to complete. However, the adaptation could leave a lot of side-plots and characters aside to focus on the crucial part: Jin Sakai's quest to liberate Tsushima island from the Mongol Empire's oppression.

One key aspect that made Ghost of Tsushima such a hit with players and critics alike was its amazingly deep combat. So for the movie to succeed, it needs to feature well-choreographed fight scenes that manage to represent both a Samurai's fighting style and Batman-esque takedowns where enemies are defeated from the shadows.

Luckily for us, Chad Stahelski, the director behind all four John Wick movies is set to helm Ghost of Tsushima as well. And wouldn't you know it, but the John Wick franchise is well-known for having jaw-dropping action sequences.

It appears all the pieces are set for an incredible adaptation.

Verdict: Hit in the making
