The consistency and fulfillness of the Iki Island expansion is stunning. Especially compared to many other addons. It's well worth the buy, both for fans and wider audience alike.

A year later, Ghost of Tsushima is still a great game, and this Director's Cut is the definitive version, especially if you own a PlayStation 5. It's a great experience, but it's mainly for newcomers: the improvements are welcome, but hardly enough to tempt veterans of the original.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut amplifies an already excellent open world game. The Iki Island expansion is worth the price of admission alone, providing another chunk of stunning Japanese landscape for Jin to explore, while also digging into the protagonist's past. A fantastic range of story missions and side quests make for a memorable offshore excursion, and put alongside the main campaign, Ghost of Tsushima now stands as a PS4 and PS5 must-buy.
Once again, Nixxes brings to PC gamers a very popular PlayStation exclusive with a port of exquisite quality. The already stunning artistic direction of Ghost of Tsushima on PS4 shows here its full poetic potential, even if some textures have not aged well. From a technical point of view, it's although a work of art worthy of the greatest katana makers. If you never had the chance to discover Sucker Punch's vision of feudal Japan, do yourself a favor and jump into its PC version. We guarantee you that you'll not be disappointed by this journey on Tsushima's island.

Iki Island is a great addon for fans of the main game who want to feast even more of the delicious samurai buffet after a long break.

It seems to me that paying $30 dollars to upgrade to both the native PS5 version, and all the extra content that comes, makes all the sense in the world, I would even tell you that if you're only interested in playing Iki Island and you're good to go, you'll be extremely pleased.

Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut offers a new, explorable island and several welcome PS5-exclusive enhancements. It is a worthy upgrade of an already exceptional title.
Still, despite those shortcomings, there’s no question that Ghost of Tsushima Iki Island is an entertaining overall experience and I’m confident most players will find it worth the asking price; in particular, because the story strengthens Jin’s character arc by shining a light on an aspect of his youth not particularly well explained in the base game. For that reason, it works as an adventure played alongside the base game, and equally as an engaging new chapter for those playing it after the fact.
The wind blowing from Iki Island, at times, knows how to be even more overwhelming than the one that crossed the horizons of Tsushima. Short but incisive, the expansion comes up with an intimate narrative, which digs even deeper into the tormented meanders of Jin's soul: it succeeds, and convinces us.

Ghost of Tsushima Tales of Iki delivers an absolute masterpiece to Sony's PlayStation 5, alongside a remarkable expansion to an already phenomenal game. Some new mechanics keep things fresh, as does another excellent story from Sucker Punch. While there are a few hiccups to contend with, this is easily a must-have title for the year.
Controversies surrounding PSN account linking on PC games aside, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut continues Sony's tremendous record of fantastic PC ports. There are plenty of options for PC players to tinker with to get the most out of their hardware, and even the Steam Deck is able to run the game with a few tweaks. Just about everything else that's good about Ghost of Tsushima Director's continues to be good.
Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on PC is a fantastic port and an absolute joy to play, far eclipsing its PlayStation 5 equivalent.
Whilst the Iki Island Expansion doesn't do much to stray from the path laid out by Ghost of Tsushima, it is absolutely a worthwhile addition and a must play for those who loved the core game.
Ghost of Tsushima Directors Cut is the definitive experience of the 2020 title, including the Iki island expansion the Directors Cut also brings with it a wealth of improvements and secrets that players can spend hours unraveling.
Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is truly a masterpiece, much like its original release. It introduces an entirely new and separate experience with Iki while bringing and refining the beauty of the gameplay and visuals.
Whether it'll be worth it to you depends on how much you'd need to end up spending and how much you enjoyed your first time in Tsushima. If you've never played it, though, Director's Cut is the obvious choice whether you're on PS4 or PS5. It might be the filler of games, but it's some of the best filler I've ever played. Slap that on the back of the box, Sucker Punch.
host of Tsushima Director's Cut is the best version of an excellent game, thanks not only to various technical and quality-of-life improvements, but also a meaty and brilliant new expansion that builds on the base game's biggest strengths in all the right ways.
Newcomers and veterans alike should draw their swords for this one, because Ghost of Tsushima excels on the PS5 and strikes just shy of perfection.
