Sony’s June State of Play presentation kicked off a busy month, showing off upcoming PlayStation games ahead of Summer Game Fest. Samurai mode hits hard and can block heavy attacks, while using the ki pulse move to restore stamina between attacks. Ninja mode focuses on faster strikes and bonus backstab damage, with a move called mist that allows quick movement and dodges if used right after attacking. Swapping between samurai and ninja modes in battle is essential. Equipping a giant odachi sword in samurai form and claws in ninja form, for example, gives you the benefit of both a hard-hitting weapon and a quick one, depending on the situation.
