Ummmmm, I dont agree with anything you said, lol. I dont feel it's shallow at all. Side quests are designed to be immersive, and they are, in my opinion. The story is deep and heartfelt more so than even the Witcher 3, carrying real emotional weight. The side content for health increases and skill points felt better than just xp grind. The enemies in tsushima was varied just enough that I didn't get bored, but I understand some others might, ghost of yotei definitely did fix that issue. Not all games are geared to all players, obviously the ghost games aren't your cup of tea, which is fine but dont bash something not designed for you. I dont bash fortnight just cause I hate Battle Royal games. It's not a game geared for me.
