Unlike Sucker Punch’s previous games, specifically the InFamous series, Ghost of Tsushima does not feature a ‘karma system’ that tracks your behavior and choices through the game and label you as “good” or “evil”. Instead, the two possible endings to Jin’s quest all come down to the final moments of the game in one last choice. These two options are not a black and white choice of “good” or “bad” endings, but more up to your own personal interpretation....
