Tips

Pay attention to the minimap (a small map displayed on your HUD (heads-up display — the on-screen icons showing health, ammo and the minimap), or Heads-Up Display) to navigate and find objectives.
Utilize cover (press the cover button to crouch behind walls or objects) during combat when possible.
Look for opportunities to perform Heat Actions (special combat moves) for increased damage and style.
Check the radar (your minimap with nearby blips and threats marked) for nearby items and NPCs (Non-Player Characters).
Complete side activities like the Taxi Driver, Hunter and Killer, The Road to Fame, and The Cost of a Swing to earn rewards and experience.
Be aware of weapon usage and skills, and utilize Kamiyama Works for weapon upgrades.
For trophy hunters, aim to complete all aspects of the game for the Platinum Trophy.
