Ghost of Yotei Gets a Near Perfect Score in Japan’s Most Famous Gaming Magazine

But it can’t beat Tsushima

Famous Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu has just dropped its latest issue — and it features a review for Ghost of Yotei.

The PS5 exclusive, which releases tomorrow at the time of writing, has been handed a near perfect score of 39/40.

For Famitsu, this is a rare occurrence; only 30 games — by our count — have ever been given a perfect 40/40. Meanwhile, a mere 55 games have reached the near perfect 39/40.

Its review system incorporates four separate scores from four different reviewers, each one out of 10. The scores are then added together — and so Yotei’s managed three 10/10s and one 9/10 to hit 39/40.
