Let's get real for a second! Why are we still glorifying myths like "Takezo l’Inégalé" in our gaming culture when we're drowning in mediocrity? "Ghost of Yōtei" might promise a thrilling experience, but let's be honest: it’s just another rehash of old legends with flashy graphics. Are we really excited about replaying the same tired tropes?
