The DLC to Ghost of Tsushima really surprised me. Its story was a psychological adventure through the mind of Jin Sakai, exploring his past and his journey of forgiveness for the death of his father. Iki Island was a fun 4th area to explore, with vivid landscapes and even more wildlife that adds so much to the world. The new animal sanctuaries were also GOATed as now you can pet cats. It's truly adorable. The side quests also felt more engaging here, as many of them came with compelling stories and decisions that felt impactful to Jin's morals. The gameplay here is just as good as the original game, with stealth still not being a truly engaging way to play, as I found myself sticking to my sword as a one-man army instead of playing as a ninja. Still, Iki island is a fun DLC that really adds a lot to the lore of Jin and his life.
