After having filled the summer of 2020 with a lot of players around the world, here is that Ghost of Tsushima returns to PS5 and PS4, with more content, in an augmented edition Director’s Cut, a title appendix shared with a certain Deadly Premonition, which also occupied the top of the bill last summer … In short, we looked at his case and we tell you everything!
Swan song announced from a PS4 then about to give way to a PS5, finally constantly out of stock, Ghost of Tsushima We had wondered last year. And here it is new, but on PS5, with an extension in its bag!
The game had already been upgraded with free content later this year – with a new game + and a multiplayer mode called Legends – but this time around it’s a real single-player adventure to which we are entitled, in a new place, Ikki Island!
The island of the dead queen
During one of his trips to the island of Tsushima, our dear Jin Sakai will come across a bunch of Mongols different from those of Khotun Khan. They are scouts from the Eagle tribe, another formidable Mongolian chieftain who invaded Ikki Island. The latter drives all the inhabitants mad with a poison, tortures the others with a very medium flame, and prepares to do the same with Tsushima. Rather than letting them come, Jin will then decide to go and beat them on this small piece of land, reputed to be a haunt of pirates. It was on this island, during a “bloody justice crusade”, that Jin’s father was killed, and his family is now hated there. He will therefore have to act as a submarine, and what more is himself under the influence of the poison of the Eagle, which will make him completely laugh and relive over and over again the death of his father.
Forced to cooperate with the pirates, Jin will therefore have to chase away the invaders, while keeping his cover intact so as not to be roasted by his allies, and make peace with his inner demons linked to his father. A whole program, which can obviously be followed even if it does not shine by its originality and that certain scenario twists are as visible as the nose in the middle of the figure. Ikki, like Tsushima, is very beautiful, offers new types of vegetation, new colors, and has its own landscapes even to sell you dream and a trip to feudal japan while staying in your living room. Visually, Ghost of Tsushima is still pretty crazy, and backed by a very good soundtrack, whether in VF or in.
Ikki’s ghost
Question playability, we remain on a formula “AAA SONY” with a very effective specifications which has already been proven on titles like the last Spider-Man or Horizon Zero Dawn, with a nice action playability, always fluid movements, some unlock upgrades and resell exploration. Nevertheless, we can make him a few reproaches. On the fighting in particular. Even more than last year on PS4, we were struck by their messy aspect: no locks, which doesn’t help when you are accompanied by ten NPCs fighting at your side (“but on who I have to hit, me ? “) but also and above all a camera which has a tendency not to look in the right direction and requires constant attention. Or some resignation to hit enemies off-screen, as you choose. A new enemy will appear, the eagle shaman, and the latter violently improves your enemies with his songs, which become ultra nervous, even in easy difficulty. kill first, therefore.
New attacks are there too. Finally, a new attack, horse. You will be able to crush your enemies in exchange for your precious determination. But to clear their ranks at the start of a fight, more certainly than with confrontation! To see the end of the main quest, he’ll only want a few hours. No more than three in a straight line. However, Ikki Island is full of secrets, and if it’s about twice the size of any of the regions in the base game, you’ll have plenty to do. New collectables are emerging, including memories of the father confronted, or animal sanctuaries where you will have to play the flte in Guitar Hero mode with the gyroscope of the controller to wink a cat or a deer. So we always take a lot of fun doing all these little detours between two objectives, to reveal all the question marks on the map while following the wind. The whole thing is always rather contemplative, and it is rather well seen what will follow.
Ghost of PS4?
If the artistic direction is therefore still as crazy and the game was already very beautiful on PS4, on the latest from Sony, it’s still a little better: the 60 fps becomes constant and the resolution is improved, all of this. is therefore more pleasant for your …
