But in stark contrast, Ghost of Tsushima’s photo mode is able to fully exploit the atmosphere, beauty and sound of its 13th Century setting, pausing the violence to transport viewers to a truly tranquil and escapist idyll.

Drift off to the crackle of a bonfire. Try not to pee yourself as the stream trickles in the background.
