    Great game admittedly I only played about half of the game, but that is only because as soon as I got my Preorder for my PS5 I stopped playing in anticipation of a 60 FPS patch. And to my great satisfaction, they did just that at launch and I had a GREAT multiplayer addition in Legends as well!

    Although I still haven't finished it because once I did FINALLY resume my playthrough the Directors cut was announced so AGAIN I put my playthrough on hiatus as I wanted to play the BEST possible version of this game as it 100% deserves it. I'm very glad I waited too as I also upgraded my TV to an LG C1 OLED and boy this game is an ABSOLUTE STUNNING MASTERPIECE!!!!!!!! IF you have any reservations about this game DON'T. Buy it NO QUESTIONS asked.

    As for the idiot's review bombing the game, do not listen to that BS. These crybabies are mad cuz there is an OPTIONAL DLC and OPTIONAL PS5 upgrade that in NO way is required to enjoy the game on your PS4, unless you want the new Iki Island expansion ofc, and you also DO NOT need the PS5 upgrade to already enjoy this beautiful game in stunning 1440-1800P at 60 FPS with the PS4 version played on a PS5.    … Expand

    30$ for this small dlc is a rip off. No matter how you look into it. Dont let it become industry standard.

    30$ is too much. game was launched last year, ps4 already had 60 fps, there’s no increase in graphics fidelity, did they just charge 10$ for dualsense features?

    vaya basura de juego un assassins creed pero mas repetitivo y generico igual que todos los demas exclusivos de sony, te hacen pagar 80 euros para un dlc de 4 horas y ahi van los fanboys a comprarlo muy sobrevalorado y no vale la pena

    Loved the core game and this is one of the the best open world action games ever created. The landscapes are just breathtaking and the story and characters are just amazing. If you enjoy AC Valhalla you will definitely love this game. Now that is taking advantage of the PS5 hardware the game is even better barely takes two seconds to load the game.

    I bought the deluxe version of this game back when it first came out and platinumed it.
    Being able to play this again with rock solid 60fps and 4k native plus haptic feedback makes it worth playing again. Also the added lip sync to jp audio makes it a little better to watch the cutscenes even though its nowhere perfect but it wasn't in the English one either so no big deal.

    This is just more GOT and im all for it.
    Screw the haters, sure im not that much of a fan of the 10 bucks upgrade as it should have been free imo. But i think the game deserves the extra cash and then some for giving us such a great experience with the multiplayer for free. Also to you people saying there is no difference from this game on ps5 and ps4. You either 1 need stronger glasses or 2 have not played it and are lying.
    Because there are distinct changes to the game on ps5 that ps4 users can only dream of.
    With crazy fast load times, 60 fps native 4k and haptic feedback from the controller there are plenty of great stuff added to a already legendary game so please STFU    … Expand

    Only gave it 5/10 out of respect for the original, even that IMHO is no more than 8/10.
    GOT-DC is just not worth the amount devs are asking for.(period)
    on the other side> IF you have not played GOT original and buying DC instead. its somewhat worth the "remastered" money.

    have a good day

The only thing this one has that sets it apart from AC is the Sword Fighting which is actually kinda fun. But that is not enough to make this game good. I know people say it´s pretty but i gotta disagree there. i really cant stand the overcolored-try-hard-in-your-face artstyle, feels super artificial imo..… Expand

    Feliz por voltar a jogar este jogo no meu Ps5. Esta lindo. Mas, não vou dar nota 10 porque não aprovo os 50,00 R$ (10 $) a mais para fazer o upgrade para o Ps5. Pagar a DLC (100,00 R$ ou 20$ ok), mas, o upgrade achei errado.

    GoT was already an amazing game, and this just added to that. Do I think it was bad for them to charge for the PS5 upgrade? Yes, but I had to pay way more when the console first came out to upgrade other games, and I don’t have a problem paying $30 to a company who made an amazing game.

    R$160 para ter a expansão e o upgrade de ps4 ps5 é sacanagem. Não deveria ter q pagar pelo upgrade. Até a EA que é a ea não cobrou o upgrade do jedi fallen order. Deveria seguir a tendênciade free upgrade de jogos como ac valhalla, miles morales, metro exodus, ffvii. Ponto negativo pra sucker punch e a sony

    Worst combat system I've ever seen, poor gameplay tons of paid reviews here...

    O game está simplesmente fantástico! Tudo que se exige de um triple A está ali, e é digno de um game de nova geração ( mesmo não sendo). A concorrência tem que comer muito arroz e feijão pra chegar nesse patamar aí. Parabéns à Sucker Punch Productions.

The dlc is very long, 20 hours in and I barely made a dent (doing side stuff too) and I am just in love with this directors cut. Don’t listen to the review bombers who don’t even have a ps5 saying it’s worse. It’s soooo much better. They’re review bombing cuz they think a ten dollar upgrade is BS but they fail to realize it isn’t just frame rate and graphics. They changed a ton of stuff and give you the legendary deluxe items too! Plus dlc. If you wanna wait for a sale fine but don’t let these mean negative Xbox guys stop you from trying this amazing game out. My favorite game is Witcher 3 and this reminds me of that. I absolutely love it. My total hours I put in the game are about 65 on one save and my map is still half discovered.… Expand

    Well done update for a great game. Lots of new content is complemented by a ton of new gameplay elements. More content was missing from the basic game, otherwise there was nothing to complain about. And now everything is fine. Reason to buy Playstation 5 if you don't already have one.

    Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut has improved the graphic of the game greatly. The newly added Iki Island brings new stories and challenges, and further extended the story background. For players who have already cleared the game, playing the Director's Cut version is still an unforgettable experience.

    It’s more of a regular DLC paired with some improvements for the PS5 rather than a true director’s cut. However, the developers do deserve praise for how skillfully they inserted the expansion into the narrative of the base game. The story about Jin’s past and the sins of ancestors is great (as opposed to boring side quests), new enemies pose a challenge, and the game as a whole shines on PS5’s more powerful hardware. I wish the visual improvements were more noticeable though. [11/2021, p.31]
