    The PC version of the excellent Ghost of Tsushima is the complete package, thanks to the inclusion of the Iki Island expansion and the multiplayer mode. This makes the already beautiful journey to the feudal Japan an even greater treat for PC users, showcasing one of the best open-world games from Sony's Studios.

    Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut on the PC is a top-tier gaming experience. It brings everything that the console has to offer and then turns the entire visual experience up to 11.

    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.

    One of the best PlayStation games gets a port worthy of its reputation. Nixxes has provided an excellent port, one properly optimized with all the bells and whistles. Not to mention, there is so much you can engage with between Ghost of Tsushima, Tales of Iki Island, and Legends. Don’t delay, grab your katana and play this game.

    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 surely not a revolution in the open world panorama, yet Sucker Punch managed to craft a must-play hit much more meaningful and interesting than other similar experiences. There’s no need to re-inventing the wheel if you are confident of your idea. Ghost of Tsushima is this.

    The PC version of Ghost of Tsushima is simply the definitive version of a game that was already stellar when it landed on the PlayStation 4. It can't help but be gorgeous at just about every turn, and gripes about the sameness aside, the gameplay is extremely well polished. Games like this only exist when absolutely everyone involved pour a lot of passion into it, and it continues to be one of my favorites with this excellent PC port. Whether you prefer a controller or a keyboard and mouse, and whether you like the idea of sneaking around or of shouting your challenge to any Mongol who dares to cross you, Ghost of Tsushima delivers a memorable experience.

    Nixxes scores another goal with the port of Ghost of Tsushima to PC, one of the best samurai adventures of all time, which is now even more spectacular. A brilliant work that stands out for how polished and well optimized it is, and that even adds options that until now seemed unthinkable.

    A masterclass in open-world game design and a thrilling samurai epic in its own right, Ghost of Tsushima is a must-play on PC.

    Overall, Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut feels like a fantastic port. The game was already an amazing open-world adventure, and the PC has made that even better. While the controls may be cumbersome at times, this is still probably the best way to play this game. Whether players are playing it for the first time or jumping in again, Jin Sakai's journey is definitely worth the price of admission.

    A wonderful PC port, Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best PlayStation games to come around on the PC side. This is one that you'll enjoy, especially if you're a fan of classic samurai stories.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best samurai stories told in the history of video games. Its combat might not be as breathtaking and perfect as Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice but its world, side-quests, exploration, beautiful landscapes, and coherent gameplay mechanics, narrative and their evolution make it a timeless experience.

    Ghost of Tsushima may not be an ode to pure design originality, but it's so incredibly stylish and plays so well that I couldn't put it down (again). An excellent port of a great game. There's nothing to debate.

    PlayStation offers us with Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut its best PC port to date. Jin Sakai's adventure shows its best side in this version, offering a technical aspect that allows its excellent artistic style to shine with its own light.

    When it appeared on PS4 in 2020, Ghost of Tsushima was a bit overshadowed by some other heavy hitters like The Last of Us Part 2. Since then, and especially after the update on PS5, the game has only risen in respect and popularity. Ghost of Tsushima remains a fantastic action RPG with stellar performances, art direction, and gameplay. Nixxes’ PC version is a model for success: full-featured, stable, optimized, and a pleasure to play.

    Ghost of Tsushima arrives on PCs with good graphic quality, performance and an experience that is almost excellent. If it weren't for some small technical issues, this would be the most solid port Nixxes has ever delivered.

    Great entertaining samurai open world adventure, which was ported cleanly to the PC. With the Director's Cut you currently get the best version.
  26. Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut debuted as the best PlayStation exclusive game ported to PC so far.

    Ghost of Tsushima Director's Cut on PC is a fantastic port and an absolute joy to play, far eclipsing its PlayStation 5 equivalent.

    Three years after the release of the Director's Cut version on PS5, Ghost of Tsushima finally arrives on PC in the most beautiful way. Like the ports of Horizon: Forbidden West and Spider-Man, the Nixxes studio once again manages to brilliantly port one of PlayStation's exclusives. With all the graphics options available to players, it's difficult to find better conditions to enjoy the title of Suckerpunch than this PC version, provided you have the following configuration of course. An excellent way to rediscover Ghost of Tsushima while waiting for the announcement of a possible second episode.

    If Ghost of Tsushima is something you have already experienced, then the PC version probably isn’t enough to get your money for a second time. If you missed it the first time around though it is a fantastic adventure that is even better on a powerful computer.

    A slow opening and a slightly dated core game engine do not detract from a thrilling and engaging samurai epic that's ported with skill to PC.

    Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is a great conversion of the PlayStation game and should be experienced for its magical atmosphere and combat system. Although the story and missions have been seen before, the game is filled with innovative design choices that I highly recommend.

    The samurai action from Playstation has also proven itself on PC, where it offers good gameplay and fights, but in somewhat outdated graphics, although it has an interesting art style.
  33. I enjoyed my time with Ghost of Tsushima on PC and I’m excited to see where Sucker Punch takes the series next. If it goes to mainland Japan, increases the political intrigue (shows us that hidden heart), works on creating unique side activities, and improves on quest design, it could be one of the best games ever made. For now, though, Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful but flawed distraction, sharper than it’s ever been.

    More of Ghost of Tsushima is always welcome. A solid adventure that subtly explore the past of Jin Sakai, and a version that honors the PS5.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a good, but by no means outstanding open-world game. All its magic lies in the distinctive atmosphere of feudal Japan and the romanticized vision of the samurai world. If bloody sword fights shown against the backdrop of beautiful nature appeal to you, you are unlikely to find anything better on the market. As for the PC port, there is nothing to complain about, although I feel it could look a little better.
