Uh-oh, it's contrarian time! Yeah, I just don't like Ghost of Tsushima that much. I'll do a full review and analysis at some point, but just so this negative blurb gives people something to chew on:
Ghost of Tsushima is a slap in the face to anyone who has a legitimate love of samurai cinema rather than an aesthetic fascination that rarely goes beyond straight up Orientalism. The Director's Cut does not amend any issues I have with its launch day counterpart. In fact, locking the cutscenes at 30FPS is a laughable blunder on the part of Sucker Punch that adds even more scrutiny to their already mangled cinematics, especially in the same console generation where Spider-Man can run at a consistent 60FPS with ray-tracing. Ghost of Tsushima is a slightly more stylistically competent Assassin's Creed that lacks the heart, soul, and production value of its contemporary PlayStation Studios counterparts.
2.5 out of 5.
Play Nioh instead, you cowards!
