Part 5/8:
The Developer’s Humble Confidence and Growth
Unlike some industry giants known for defensive posturing or dismissiveness toward criticism, Sucker Punch exemplifies humility and openness. Despite Ghost of Tsushima receiving generally favorable reviews—though critics scored it around 83 on Metacritic while user scores soared to record-breaking heights—the studio addressed feedback with a growth mindset.
A revealing quote from Sucker Punch’s leadership states, “Criticism will make us better,” and emphasizes their pride in delivering what fans love. Rather than dismissing user or critic feedback, they seem genuinely committed to refining their craft, seeing critique as an opportunity for improvement.
