Revisiting that island is already traumatic for Jin and that trauma is exponentially heightened through the Eagle’s calculated mental guerrilla warfare. Jin has a personal connection with Iki Island as it marks a place of great shame and failure for the Ghost of Tsushima well before he earned that moniker. While she does command those Mongolian forces to physically attack Jin, she also uses her brew as a means to attack Jin on a spiritual level, something that is made all the more intense by the setting itself. After forcing this hellish concoction upon Jin, his internal demons are given an external form that makes this more than just another Mongolian invasion.
She’s a twisted shaman threatening to take over Iki Island with her droves of loyal guards and hallucinogenic poison. Jin’s character is put through the wringer through Iki’s big bad, the Eagle. This approach gives Sucker Punch free rein to flesh out its protagonist while not sacrificing the sanctity and pacing of the base game’s narrative. The Iki Island narrative elegantly parries and subsequently slices that concern into ribbons by thoughtfully focusing more on Jin Sakai’s backstory instead of trying to gin up a new thread that unnaturally tacks itself onto the original’s tale. If a story thread is such a big deal, then how it can be nonchalantly slotted around? Since it can be played at a number of different points in the campaign, it can initially sound like an unimportant tale. The Iki Island DLC hooks right into the core experience and is accessible shortly after the second act kicks off. And even though it’s not a giant step up for those playing the original on PlayStation 5, the Iki Island expansion is the main highlight here as it is a phenomenal companion piece to the main game.
It’s playing two different roles but ones that are intertwined due to Sony’s insistence on bundling both together.
#Ghost of tsushima ps5 upgrade
Ghost of Tsushima: Director’s Cut is in an unusual spot because it’s simultaneously a current-gen upgrade as well as a vessel for a whole new expansion.
