I'm really enjoying getting my Samurai on with Ghost of Tsushima! Putting points into stances has really helped me with the combat learning curve. I don't find the Samurai skill tree nearly as compelling (except Sprint Strike to put down pesky archers quickly). I haven't delved much into the stealth skills yet, the sword play is too much fun to abandon for assassinations. It will probably become more necessary as the game progresses, but for now facing enemies head on is a riot.
Oh, and the game world is compelling, atmospheric, and beautiful!
