Sucker Punchs Ghost of Tsushima incorporates an element of choice into its gameplay by allowing players to select phrases to form haiku in specific locations. However, this may leave some players wondering if their choices have bearing on the overall story of Ghost of Tsushima, or if one haiku option is better than another. Haiku is a type of short poetry that originated in Japan, so its unsurprising that the game chose to incorporate this element. In somewhat of an anachronistic twist, these poems weren’t called “haiku” until the end of the 19th century – roughly 600 years after Ghost of Tsushima takes place.
