Being able to choose between honourable and dishonourable actions might have added some replay value to the game, but it would have ruined the story. Sucker Punch could have easily played this into a morality system between samurai and Ghost, but they wisely made it an evolution for Jin’s character.
There’s a case for both sides, though I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t fully supporting Jin throughout the game.
#GHOST OF TSUSHIMA PS5 CODE#
The Mongols are able to dominate the islanders because of the samurai’s rigid adherence to their code, and while breaking that code to defeat the Mongols might yield a short term victory, it’ll potentially create a more savage society once the Mongol threat is eliminated. When your very survival is at stake, is it more important to die with honour, or do everything possible, even if it means condemnation, in order to win? It’s classic Nietzche: “Beware that, when fighting monsters, you yourself do not become a monster…” Ghost of Tsushima does a good job of arguing both points. It’s a narrative that touches on themes that have been explored in the past. However, the utter savagery of the Mongols forces Jin to assess the samurai code of honour he swore to uphold, leading him down a darker path in the pursuit of a greater good. Playing as Jin Sakai, one of the few samurai survivors of the Mongol invasion of Tsushima, you’re tasked with rallying the remaining troops to try and mount some kind of resistance. Although it’s a real shame that a lot of the features of the PS5 version were locked behind a paywall for even those who already owned the game, it feels like the Director’s Cut is aimed at PS5 owners who never played the game before.
#GHOST OF TSUSHIMA PS5 PS4#
Having already launched on PS4 last year to incredible success, Sony and Sucker Punch have updated Ghost of Tsushima for PS5 users with the Director’s Cut. Samurai Far Cry is an accurate description, and Ghost of Tsushima owns it to become one of the most engaging open world games on PS5. The formula has been seen so many times before, and yet, the pieces come together to create a game that’s a struggle to tear yourself away from.
Tsushima doesn’t really add anything new to the open world genre, it’s not a grand innovation, nor is it breaking new ground. Describing Ghost of Tsushima as “Samurai Far Cry” sounds like it should be an insult.
