A storm is coming. Venture into the complete Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR’S CUT on PC; forge your own path through this open-world action adventure and uncover its hidden wonders. Brought to you by Sucker Punch Productions, Nixxes Software and PlayStation Studios.
Yes, the game story is Okay, the side quests are repetitive and not very fun, but the combat mechanics and how beautiful the game is makes the whole experience much better.
I loved my first few hours in it. By the end, I had to force myself to finish it.
The game is gorgeous (and was super well optimised, ran like a dream on my first-gen fat old PS4), and the combat is mechanically satisfying. But those pluses are just not enough to carry it through its (way too long) runtime.
The story is only okay. But it suffers from a consistently dour and overly serious tone, with almost no variation. You get some crumbs of comic relief with Kenji, and that’s it. The rest is stone-face almost monotonously serious.
The mission design is also mostly awful. You have a couple of signpost missions (like the Legendary Tales I think they were called?) that are cool, and the bossfights are fun of course. But the rest is almost all talk, move to area, kill some dudes, return. The main story missions are also filled with endless walk-and-talk (or ride-horse-and-talk).
Add to that the extremely repetitive open world UbiSoft style collect-a-thon, and the game just wore my enthusiasm down over time.
I would also wait for a sale, unless you desperately love the setting. And even then, maybe wait and see how Rise of the Ronin pans out.
its definitely an open world collectathon which makes. it feel repetitive. its because of its unique combat options which makes the game fun.
if youve ever played MGSV, it oddly kinda has the same kind of openness, just two completely different time periods, but attacking a camp cam be done in stealth, or guns ablazing in both.
I would say a little more repetitive than Horizon. The structure is very similar, but there are really only four or so types of enemies and they’re all human, so you lose a lot of the variety that comes with fighting the machines.
That said, I still enjoyed it. Even though it gets a bit stale in the mid to late game, the gameplay is solid, and the story is good enough that I didn’t mind too much.
About fucking time. Sony has been dragging on this one. I’m still a bit salty we have to wait 2 months, but I guess that should mean a smoother experience on day 1.
60 EUR, it’s nice to see this instead of 70 or 80. I’ll be waiting for the release and reviews, ports are not always great performance and quality-wise.
Finally! I’m so glad Sony is porting these amazing games that I was afraid would be PS exclusives forever. I have the soundtrack on vinyl and it’ll be nice to actually play through it now!

Man, Sony Ponies are going to feel this one.
This is a great game! I’m glad many more people get to enjoy it.
Patient gamers unite!!!
Fuck yeah! I almost bought this on PS4 last month!
I found this game very repetitive. I still enjoyed it though. Even got the Platinum trophy.
One to get when it’s on sale IMO

Similar to Horizon Dawn in that sense?

Some good news after the bad news of yuzu and citra
Any idea if this is gonna require a PSN acct? Or is it optional?
According to the devs on Twitter the PSN account is not required for single player – only if you want to use the Legends multiplayer mode.
Oh good nixxes is still doing this so I’m very excited. Still, in wait until it actually releases and get some reviews before I buy.

$60 in Vietnam, that can get tae fuck.
