    So good I had to buy it twice. The addition of haptics and DLC make this absolutely worth purchasing. I can’t wait for the sequel.

Pay for a good new DLC, new skills, weapons, fast loading, dualsense feature, its like a new game. No game is like this. Dont listen haters here Expand

    This game is absolutely INCREDIBLE and the DLC only adds to the magnificence of it!
    This is a beautifully written story with breathtaking scenery. Absolutely worth every penny!!

    Ok this is about the directors cut and not the main game itself. i am talking about the dlc as well as the extra 10$ upgrade. This score and review is mostly intended for people who already own the game before this upgrade. But Non the less the main game itself is a masterpiece and a must play by all means! the main game is a 10/10!
    But now to the directors cut, honestly if you own a ps5.

    But now to the directors cut, honestly if you own a ps5. dont pay the extra 10$ the upgrade is minimal and even the new haptic feedback and quality of life improvements are really minimal and not something to go wild about. Yes its 10$ but i would of probably spent that money on a bag of shrimps for dinner tonight lol.
    The dlc of iki island Is a beautiful place to look at and just roam around, just like the main game. The island is very very tiny and its even slightly smaller than the first area of the map in the main game. The story of the expansion has so much potential yet its very very short (like 5 hours, no joke you can complete it in less than one playthrough) and totally not worth that 20$ price tag while AC Valhalla with all its flaws delivers a better expansion imo...
    Overall wait for sale. dont jump in right away if you already own the game. but if its your first time getting into this game, then im jealous, youre going to have a blast of an experience!

    Finally Ghost of Tsushima gets a better score, but still deserve higher. The dualsense implementation with the haptic feedback and adaptative triggers make it feel like a new game. The new Island Ikki DLC, new armor, new stance, new horse armor, and new enemies and boss. The $20 for the PS4 and $30 for the Ps5 so worth it.

    Played the game on PS5 with the PS5 version; don't let anyone out there tell you there are no differences and the price is not worth, they don't know what they're talking about. The game does look better, the performance is amazing. It's the best money you'll spend for a DLC.

    This is one of those games where I actually use photo mode to enjoy how beautiful everything looks. Gameplay is the best in class for sword fighting really makes you fell like a samurai. Just something about it so satisfying and now that we can replay enemy camps and duals it’s a paradise. Specially since there are so many different and unique builds you can create it never gets boring.This is one of those games where I actually use photo mode to enjoy how beautiful everything looks.

With addition of new charms and outfits abilities they added it’s pretty much your playground at this point. But of course you can also use charms that make the game even more challenging on lethal. Top this off with legends online mode being completely free with so much more content and more to come on September 3rd. You can see how I got over 500+ hours clocked in and way more to come. This game is just awesome and it’s own story as well specially the ending, highly recommend. Expand

    This review is only for the Iki island expansion. I give the main game a 10/10. I love the main Ghost game! It’s my #10 on the list of top games of all time! Iki island was enjoyable. It did add to the story of the Ghost. The main story was pretty good. The Eagle was a good enemy- not as good as Khan, but pretty good. The graphics and frame rate on the PS5 are exceptional!

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

    The game itself is just great, but why it was impossible to make a free update for the PS5 even without an add-on, but for free, I am disappointed in the current Sony policy... Considering that large studios update games for PS 5 for free.

    Even better than the original! Incredible game, looks and feels great and the DLC is sufficiently long and well worth it. I am sure the "0" scores are from people that haven't played it because they don't have a PS5 ( Xbox loyalists, lol -always happens). Downside? it's freaking $70...

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 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

    Another phony cash grab by lying Ryan. Doesn't even look better than the Ps4 version. Stop giving the greedy company $70 for garbage.

    A Fantastic Game got even better with Better field of View and at 4K at 60fps without sacrificing Either, The Iki Expansion is Very Nice, and the Lore is Great. Highly Recommend and DISREGARD ALL THE 0 SCORERS.

    6 hours into the game, I find it breathtakingly gorgeous, unbelievably immersive, and very refreshing. The unique atmosphere, the landscapes, wind, remind me of the witcher 3. I did not play the PS4 version, and I only can praise this game.

    O jogo original merecia pelo menos um 9, de tão bom que ele é. Mas embora a Ilha Iki seja uma boa DLC no geral, o que fizeram não vale o preço cobrado.

    O jogo cobra 55 reais para você jogar com os aprimoramentos do ps5, não basta ter o jogo, comprar a dlc e ter o ps5.
    Vc precisa comprar os aprimoramentos por mais 55 reais, sem falar que removeram o game base da loja, só para vender a versão director's cut a preço cheio é literalmente fazer o consumidor de palhaço

    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]
