Featuring a gorgeous Japanese setting and deadly blade-based battles, the open world title would quickly become a fan favourite.<\/p>\n<p>In the years that followed its launch, Sucker Punch would add to the blood-stained adventure with the superb Iki Island expansion, alongside a PS5 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pushsquare.com\/games\/ps5\/ghost_of_tsushima_directors_cut\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Director&#8217;s Cut<\/a> re-release.<\/p>\n<p>It even received its own co-op multiplayer mode in the form of Legends \u2014 which, to this day, remains a criminally overlooked addition (in our humble opinion).<\/p>\n<p>At the time of its arrival, we gave Ghost of Tsushima an &#8216;excellent&#8217; 9\/10, praising its free-flowing open world design and tight, satisfying combat. To us, it often felt like a refinement of the typical open world formula, although its reliance on stereotypical map markers would eventually be counted against it by some less enthusiastic players.<\/p>\n<p>Five whole years later, though, and we want to know your thoughts on Ghost of Tsushima.
