Parallel to this, the team at Sucker Punch took their job so seriously that you’d swear this was made by an all-Japanese team. They collaborated with Japan Studio on this to make it as true to their vision as possible, but it is a through and through western game - perfectly implementing Japanese masters of their art when needed.
In that vein, the team has taken minimalism very seriously. Everything from the UI to the gameplay is imbued with *just enough* everywhere you look.
On the surface you might see a map full of cliched open world activities to complete as a box ticking exercise, but every one is designed to channel you into carefully handcrafted locations, environmental perspectives, excellently written ‘slice of life’ side quests, and increasingly robust challenges to Jin’s core values.
