    Awesome game. Best photomode. Great graphics and combat. The dlc is fun to play. And if you have not played it and have a ps5a, it is a great game to get. haptic feedback on the control is also amazing

    I played it for 3 hours and got insane motion sickness, because character is not on center of screen. How hard is it to put character on center? GTA 5 is perfect example where you should put your playable character. I had awful experience with this game, so unless you like to play game where character is somewhere in the corner of the screen, i wouldn't waste my money on it.

    One of my favorite games ever just got better. Glad to have more. The devs have really outdone themselves. I can see the fake people are at it with the review bombing and frankly this game is well done. Is it for everyone? No probably not but it's incredible and amazing for the people that want this kind of game. Can't wait to see what the future brings. With this company and for Ghost.

    Overpriced, underdelivered. It should have got huge visual upgrade, but it got nothing and they ask 70 for this? Pathetic.

    Pretty awesome DLC and QoL improvements that we got, while it's not mandatory, the haptic feedback and triggers resistance really make the game more immersive and fun to play, it's refreshing seeing devs actually liking their job and you can feel it in game.

    Not worth the price. This game was never that great anyway. Some people have created this illusion, that this game is something super special, but it really isn't. It's just inferior Assassin's Creed clone (without parkour or good combat btw). Even Pewdiepie didn't finish it and he is huge Japan fan, that should say something.

    This game reminds me Assassin's Creed, but in a bad way. There's no parkour in this game. Combat feels outdated and camera controlling is just horrible.

If you don't want to play the dlc you can just get the ps4 version which has 4k 60fps support on ps5. The game loads a bit longer and the cinematic are real time rendering in the ps5 version compared to the pre rendered cinematics in the ps4. Both version cinematics are set to 30fps tho. Expand

    Map feels empty and lifeless. You can travel around, but there's nothing to explore or find. Everything is so boring in this game. Hard pass.

    Predictable and boring story, annoying quests and overall empty feel of the world make this one of weakest games i have played in very long time.

    This "expansion" is absolute rip-off. Way overpriced and game itself is generic at best. Disregard all 10/10 Scorers.

    Tsushima's upgrade to PS5 feels like a new great game plus the Iki island combat seems like could be multiple changes in the future.

    Ghost was an already amazing looking game. I guess I kinda hoped for more with the directors cut. But in reality it’s just that—-a directors cut. Some extra content that was already on the PS4 disk. You can Sony is pushing their developers like Sucker Punch and Insomniac Games to rush new content to the shelves. I’d wait for this to go on sale.

    One of the most beautiful and engaging open world games of all time. Up there with Breath of the Wild, The Witcher 3, and Horizon Zero Dawn. Simply put, Ghost of Tsushima is a masterpiece. A must-own.

    A stunning game worth every penny! From the story to the gameplay, you’re pulled in from the start and unable to set the controller down.

    It is madness that the PS5 upgrade is locked behind a double paywall. First, you have to buy the DLC, and then you have to buy the upgrade. That’s beside the fact that the upgrade almost does not improve anything in the game. Sony is losing customers and causing bad PR by trying to squeeze all the cash out of people who like Sony games.

Perhaps the best looking game of all time! On the con side- this was pretty short at only about 5 hours for the main story. There were a few side quests- but they weren’t all that great. But I guess about as good as the main game. Overall I’m glad I played it. But with it’s short length I’m not sure it justifies the price. Will look forward to whenever a full sequel comes out. Expand

    I never played this on my PS4 despite many in my circle recommending it. Was just too busy at the time to dive into a big game, I had just gotten Last of us 2 and couldn’t commit to another heavy hitter at the time.

I’m glad I waited until I got the ps5 and the directors cut. Completely worth the 70 bucks. I dont have a lot of time to play mediocre games. Services like game pass does not work for my schedule. I’m a family man and a business man, my time is scare and I can’t sift through games that aren’t great. When I sit down to play a game I want the best experience possible and that is why I’m a PlayStation head. This game is phenomenal. From that opening scene that sent chills down my spine, the story, the action, the haptics and the FPS with 4K are all stunning. I still can’t believe this was out on PS4, they squeezed every once of juice out of that previous gen. I’ve had some downtime the last 3 days and put some major time in, and have barely scratched the surface. This will be the game I play for months as I go for platinum. Expand

    A beautiful open world samurai game. Combat is fun and can be diverse and challenging. Quick thinking can be the key to combat success. A wonderful story and a beautiful world to explore.

    Here's bunch of fake 10/10 reviews who are trying to pretend that this game is good. But thankfully most people already know what fail and rip off this game really is. What a terrible shame. If i could i would give this game -1 stars. Just plain awful. I hate this game so much.

    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]
