       | There are some pretty cool depictions of yokai in the game
       | Ghostwire: Tokyo if anyone's curious - weird umbrella spirits[0],
       | cute little Kodama[1] and such. The Hyakki Yagyo that is
       | mentioned in the article also makes an appearance:

       | The game itself has a lot of very nice visuals and I'd recommend
       | giving it a shot. Note: it's a decently sized game but I kinda
       | ruined my experience of it by trying to 100% one specific thing.
       | If anyone reading this decides to give it a shot: don't do what I
       | did, just follow your nose and explore whatever's interesting and
       | don't try to save every soul unless you're _really_ wanting the
       | "Hero of Shibuya" achievement (it's not _that_ rare, like 4% of
       | players got it at the point I completed it).

         | It truly is one of the most beautiful looking games I have
         | played, right up there with the likes of Bioshock, Detroit:
         | Become Human, and SOMA.

           | I am glad there's someone out there who agrees! I couldn't
           | convince my friends to bother with it - the filters make
           | static screenshots look a bit weird and internet video is
           | often a bit compressed to truly appreciate the look :)

         | fight yokai and kodama give you bonuses.

         | Not as cinematic as it's a Team Ninja game but nice coincidence
         | for this to come up on HN.
