Ghost of Yotei DLC Video Review – Echoes Of Sekigahara and Most Wanted

IGN Pakistan — Thu, 01 Oct 2026 19:05:14 +0000

Ghost of Yotei's Echoes of Sekigahara and Most Wanted DLC, reviewed by Michael Higham on PlayStation 5."This wave of paid DLC for Ghost of Yotei is a great reminder of just how graceful and deadly its combat can be, especially with how it's further emphasized in the new run-based Most Wanted mode. I didn't expect to get the itch for another run each time I was struck down, but that speaks to Yotei’s satisfying swordplay and the way these remixed challenges pushed me to think harder about every tool available. Echoes of Sekigahara isn't groundbreaking as an extension of the existing story, but Atsu gets a brief moment to shine again and show a more vulnerable, intimate side alongside a charming foil from her past. The battles within are familiar and the views are still impressive, but this one-two punch is a reminder of how fundamentally great Sucker Punch's ronin fantasy has been, and a layup for anyone looking for an excuse to return to Ghost of Yotei."
