The technical enhancements might be slight but it makes a rich and enjoyable and pretty game even prettier, and the new content fleshes out the main character even more. The definitive edition of a great game

Ghost of Tsushima is even better with Director's Cut but the Iki Island expansion lacks anything new or exciting.

Iki Island is an expansion that complements the story of Ghost of Tsushima, but at the cost of a shorter campaign and with only a few updates in gameplay. However, everything is of the same quality as the base game, and that alone is enough to guarantee a few more hours of fun in one of the best titles of the last year, now with significant improvements in PlayStation 5.

The Iki Island expansion is a little weak, with its strange supernatural storyline that is far too brief; however, the side quests and exploration of Iki more than make-up for it. If you’re someone that enjoyed Ghost of Tsushima, then this expansion is well worth your time. Iki Island has plenty to do and lots to see.

If you still haven't played Ghost of Tsushima then this Director's Cut is the perfect excuse to finally experience this masterpiece. With a stunning core experience, super-fun online modes, and a brand new campaign, you're in for one outstanding package.

Most aspects I've already covered in my review of the main game, which remains current thanks to the DLC and captures my enthusiasm from a year ago well. With Iki, Sucker Punch has delivered more of the same—though one naturally shouldn't expect anything more from a DLC, anyway. Still, it leaves me eagerly looking forward to hopefully soon announced second installment that's more innovative. The foundation has been laid with the main game and this DLC, so anyone who enjoyed the base game I can highly recommend Iki.

Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut entertained me well. The world offers numerous beautiful sights. The navigation aid, guided by subtle wind or animals, feels more appealing than arrows or similar mechanisms. Furthermore, various rewards invite exploration. The combat system has a good pace, diverse approaches, and is fun. At times, however, the view can be somewhat obstructed. The characters and story are convincing as well. On the Steam Deck, I found the experience with default settings to be good, and the game is certainly pleasing to look at. In rare cases, there were minor issues, but overall they didn't weigh heavily on me. I spent around 40 hours on the two islands of Tsushima and Iki and there's still potential for a few more. Even without the Legends multiplayer mode, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut promises a great deal of entertainment.

A desire for revenge, broken traditions, bloodshed, and heavy loss: it is amidst these struggles that Jin Sakai abandons the samurai code to become the ghost of Tsushima, a warrior fighting for the liberation of his people. Set in feudal Japan, Ghost of Tsushima's narrative kept me hooked from start to finish with its many nuances, charismatic characters, and surprising twists. The authentic atmosphere crafted by Sucker Punch and the excellent combat system make the experience all the more rewarding.

Thanks to the unique features of DualSense, exploited well by the developer, virtually immediate loading and a jaw-dropping graphical rendering, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut represents the complete and definitive experience of the Sucker Punch-branded production. In addition, the new expansion (Iki Island) and the Legends multiplayer mode that is about to update itself by offering additional challenges, further elevating the hours of gameplay leads us to recommend this Director's Cut as much to players who have already experienced Jin's exploits and as much to those who have not yet played the title.

Ghost of Tsushima is an exceptional title, an experience worth having for its powerful emotional impact and timeless setting. The well-crafted story and high-quality gameplay solidify its status as one of the best titles on PlayStation from the last generation.

The epitome of open-world action and a great PC port that is worth every penny.

Even the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima offers the same great experience as it did years ago, and it is more than a quality alternative for those who like the Assassin's Creed series, but have grown a bit tired of it over time.

Ghost of Tsushima arrives on PC with a technically impeccable port, offering a new audience the chance to enjoy a title that stands out, but has plenty of potential for much more. an experience that, on the one hand, holds back and does not allow itself to develop its full potential. A title held back by the need to comply with the conventions of the medium, which fails to fully spread its wings to end up crowning itself as something unique, remaining fluttering on the ground of the familiar.

The soundtrack is rooted in traditional Japanese instrumentation, including taiko drums and shakuhachi flute, like the one Jin carries with him. From serene compositions during exploration, emotional pieces and more intense battle music, which in some encounters has Mongolian influence when fighting the big bad.

Nixxes managed to create a really impressive port, which didn't need a day one patch to fix framerate and overall experience issues.

In addition to the refined base game and the aforementioned technologies, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut includes unlocked frames, the Iki Island DLC, and Legends mode. This makes the package everything PC gamers expected from one of Sony's most unique exclusives. Despite my issues with the open world design, this aspect had little impact on my overall experience.

All in all, Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible package for $60 and well worth your time if you have even a moderate-strength PC. I have zero doubt about you finding some sort of combination of settings to make the game run as smoothly as you’d like. Incredible ups to Nixxes and Sony for this port.

Ghost of Tsushima is perhaps Nixxes' most impressive work yet. In porting one of PlayStation’s best games to PC, it’s also created one of the best-optimised pieces of software you can find on the platform.

Ghost of Tsushima coming to PC as a great port with gorgeous graphics and features like DLSS definitely deserves a chance.
