Exploring the brand new Iki island is good for about ten hours of extra game time, taking beautiful and serene pictures with the built-in photo mode easily adds several hours more. Those who already own Ghost of Tsushima can upgrade to the director's cut for a low price. For those who want to take the step now, the director's cut is simply the best version you can get.
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.

Amazing game, very cinematic, I love the dark storyline. The combat is top notch, the dialogue is awesome and the character development is second to none! 10/10 would play another 12 times!

A MASTERPIECE SIMPLE AND SHORT I don't need to go deep into a review for this one

As it stands, Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is the comprehensive, definitive Ghost of Tsushima experience. Its new multiplayer mode isn't in the game yet but will be coming soon, and in the meantime, fans still have the current Ghost of Tsushima: Legends experience to check out, the base game's story mode with PS5 features, and the substantial Iki Island expansion. Newcomers and returning fans alike have reason to check out Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut, with it hopefully keeping fans satisfied until they can get their hands on Sucker Punch's first game built exclusively with the PlayStation 5 in mind.
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.
Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut improves all technical aspects in its PlayStation 5 version. Not only on a visual level, but also on loading times and the great use of the DualSense controller. It looks great in 4K, although we must say that the expansion does not have great visual improvements. The Isle of Iki complements the campaign well with a new story that involves some mystical aspects, but these blend well into the plot without making them feel out of place.
Ghost of Tsushima: Directors Cut builds on the entire Tsushima experience, good and bad. While the slower pacing and drip fed rewards work for me, some will find the pace sluggish and find their attention wandering elsewhere. Still, this is probably the best chance of living inside a Akira Kurosawa movie you’ll ever get. It’s an opportunity worth taking.
Ghost Of Tsushima Director's Cut on PlayStation 5 is undoubtedly the definitive way to experience Sucker Punch's open-world samurai adventure. Improved loading times, enhanced resolutions, smoother frame rates, and a slew of brand-new content make the 2020 game shine in new ways. More than that though, it's given me the chance to reassess a video game that I just previously couldn't see the adoration for.
Masterpiece.
no other word.
I enjoyed more on the 2nd playthrough, with dlc director's cut
GOT is an emotional journey that will give you shivers

Overrated game, prayed as an incredible game when it's just a good game and prayed above all for what happened with The Last of Us Part 2 as well as for being a Playstation exclusive.
Objectively, GOT has a great combat system and art direction, but the rest of the game is somewhere between good and mediocre.

Ghost of Tsushima is a game that i have really tried to love all the way trough, but it has ended up being a game i ended up really liking.
First of all i must say that the story is great. The characters are amazing and it is amazingly dramatic.
The game follows Jin Sakai, a samurai warrior that slowly abandons the samurai code of honor to save the island of Tsushima from a mongol invasion. This leads to a lot of conflict and interesting gameplay ideas.
The story is great, but it is the gameplay i have some problems with. First of all the stealth is quite a big part of the game, but it is a bit clunky and basic. What also doesnt help is the stupid ai. The other part of the gameplay, the swordfighting, is quite fun but also flawed. The combat is based on a few different stances that are effective against different types of enemies. My problem is that the different stances are supposed to change the way you play, but in my experience, no matter what stance i used my tactics to deal with enemies greatly stayed the same. There are some unique fun moves that some of the stances unlock, but they rarely change the way you approach enemies. I would also say that there is a lack of enemy variety in the game. Something that is great about the game are the duels. These duels function as bossfights and they are a lot of fun. Altho they are fun, they are, on a gameplay level, all also quite similar sadly. Something that adds a little spice to the gameplay are the skills and charms you can unlock. These are almost always fun to use/unlock.
The world of Ghost of Tsushima is visually great. One of the prettiest games ive ever played. The exploration is sadly a bit repetitive. In the world you can find hot springs, shrines, haikus, bamboo slicing exercises, fox dens and enemies. Most of these things are really fun the first few times you find them, but get really boring after you have done them a few times. Another problem is that a lot of these things are marked on your map, or that there is a yellow bird leading you to them. This, in my opinion removes a lot of the fun of discovery in the game.
the side missions in the world are mostly quite boring sadly. there are missions with a lot of development for side-characters, these are great. But the rest of the missions consist of a lot of awkward dialogue and exposition whilst trailing an npc for the 50th time, which then leads to some decently fun combat (for the 50 time).
The story missions, however, are way better and also way more diverse. These alone almost warrant playing the game.
If u are a big fan of this sort of japanese setting, and like action games with a great story I would say give the game a shot. The game also reminds me of a better version of an assassins creed game, so if u are into that sort of game I would give the game a try.
