Isn't Ghost of Tsuhima a western game? By Sucker Punch iirc.
In the absence of any idea, random punt again...Bayonetta?

Since there are no new answers I think it's time to move on, right?
The game isn't really that obscure, but it's totally unexpected. The answer was Kingdom Hearts III. Here you have the song. Do you like it? Personally, I don't

Rouge like are when you have to start from the beginning, I’d assume a rouge lite is the same but just with restarting you at a point that was near where you were previously?

Is a rougelite a game with the same basic principles as a roguelike but has a different mechanics?

Rougelikes remove all progress you made during a run, and rougelites allow you to bring over items from previous runs, I believe. Haven't played either in forever...

So roguelike is basically like Doom with pistol start, and Roguelite is continuous play?

I know roguelike uses an RPG-style gameplay (I love Pokemon Mystery Dungeon heh), so I'm pretty sure roguelite is the same way too, except not as harsh or punishing, hence the "lite" in its name. I'll use Fire Emblem as an example here, where in older games defeated playable characters are considered permanently dead and can't be used anymore, whereas in newer games there's this option called Casual mode where these characters can return even if defeated in battle.

EdgeRabbit was very close, but Ithasmore was more specific! In roguelike games, you always start over from the beginning, but in roguelikes, as Ithasmore said, you always keep some of the items/progress unlocked when you start over.

I'm going to guess the controversy was about Thor not looking like the stereotypical masculine Thor we know from Germanic mythology and the Marvel movies. Thor in that game was pretty slender and his power is more about speed than absolute strength.

I remember people getting upset about it reusing too many assets from the other God Of War games.

God fucking damnit. I loathe this game so much that I forgot I actually knew the answer.
Another reason to hate KH3 in the books.

Was it one of those games that allowed for an exploit to mod their PS3's or to boot hacked game copies/homebrew?
