in the past


It's more of Ghost of Tsushima! I enjoyed exploring Jin's past. The new enemy types were fun but got annoying at times.

It took a bit to get into as I hadn't played the base game since 2021 and had to relearn the combat, and even then I don't think I remastered everything...

A solid expansion to Ghost that delivers more fun gameplay and surprisingly nice epilogue to the main games story.

Iki Island addressed none of the problems GOT had, and in fact made the game worse. Starting with exploration, the game has a very limited set of walls and cliffs you can jump from or maneuver around. If you try to jump on a rock that the game doesn't think you should climb, the character will glitch in a jump motion and kind of slide off the surface. This was annoying in the base game, it is even worse here. Specially with me coming from TOTK, a game that puts this to shambles.

The boss is honestly annoying and just bad. The last battle is way too difficult for no good reason and the story is just bad as well. The game will throw some throwbacks at you where instead of a cutscene, you just walk around with young Jin for a while, following a character from point A to B. Then, the game starts a cutscene. Why not just put a cutscene to begin with and avoid all this unnecessary walking that adds nothing?

The psychosis every five minutes gets old super fast. You're in the middle of a fight, trying to get into the rhythm of it, and this bs immediately breaks that with repetitive dialogue that's more annoying than anything else.

I played this because it was included in the PS5 version. If not, it's not worth the money.

Entertaining expansion with a much more morally complex story than the main game. Irritating how it locks your regular levelling up, there are lots of small things here I couldn't do as a result.

Nice to know about Sakai's backstory.

เนื้อเรื่องเสริมของ Ghost of Tsushima ทำได้ดี เล่นเพลินและสนุกแบบไม่ยืดเยื้อ เนื้อหาดี ประเด็นดี แต่ไม่บีบใจเท่าเนื้อเรื่องหลักที่กินขาดกว่ามาก ถือว่ามาเสริมตัวเอกให้แน่นขึ้น

คาดว่าที่โดนถล่มตอนออกคงเพราะความยาวเทียบกับราคาที่ต้องจ่าย ส่วนตัวเราที่ซื้อมาดองนานแล้วเลยลืมราคาไปแล้ว ความยาวก็ถือว่าสั้นจริง

เนื้อเรื่องควรไปเล่นเอง จะไม่สปอย นอกเหนือจากนั้น
- วิวสวยเหมือนเดิม แต่ฟ้าฝนแปรปรวนบ่อยจากเนื้อเรื่อง ฉากจะหมองค่อนข้างถี่ แต่เวลาที่สวยก็สวยจับใจ ช่วยให้จำได้ว่าเล่นเกมนี้ครั้งแรกประทับใจกราฟิกขนาดไหน
- มีกิจกรรมให้ทำเยอะกำลังดี ไม่จำเจ เป็นกิจกรรมใหม่ปนเก่า
- เพลงเพราะ ชุบชูใจ
- มีชุด ดาบ สีชุดใหม่ ๆ ให้เก็บ
- มี Easter Eggs
- มีอะไรเพิ่มเติมในโหมดถ่ายรูป
- ศัตรูตึงมือขึ้น พอท้าทายแบบหัวอุ่น ๆ (สำหรับโหมดธรรมดา/ผู้เล่นทั่วไปแบบเราที่ไม่ได้เทพ)
- การประดาบน้อยไปหน่อย แต่! สามารถกลับมาเล่นเควสท์เดิมซ้ำได้ อันนี้ไม่รู้มากับ DLC หรืออัพเดตนะ พูดรวม ๆ
- มีไอเท็มสำหรับม้าและเทคนิคใหม่ของม้านิดหน่อย
- แผนที่ไม่ใหญ่ เล่นวน ๆ เปิดแม็พสองสามวันบวกเนื้อเรื่องหลักก็จบแล้ว เนื้อเรื่องหลักแค่ 5 ชม. เอง สั้นมาก ๆ ก็คือแก้เหงาคิดถึงเกมน่ะแหละ
- เริ่มเล่นแล้วจะกลับสึชิมะไม่ได้ ต้องอยู่จนจบ DLC
- เควสท์รองมีหยิบมือพอหอมปากหอมคอ

โดยรวมสรุปคือ ถ้าเอาคุ้มเงินอาจจะปัจเจก มองว่าไม่คุ้มได้ถ้าเทียบกับปริมาณเนื้อหาที่เพิ่มเข้ามา แต่ถ้าตัดสินจากตัวเนื้อหาล้วน ๆ ถือว่าเป็น DLC เล็ก ๆ ที่ดีอยู่ ใครเล่นภาคหลักแล้วอยากรู้จักจินมากขึ้นและไม่ติดขัดเรื่องราคาก็สมควรเล่น


Japan's breathtaking nature was recreated in GoT in such exhaustive detail, that after completing the main game I thought there was nothing left to explore about it inside a videogame in this generation. I was wrong.

Didn't like the story that much ngl

Good because the gameplay of the main game is really awesome.

I liked the story but it was very short.

Overall was a bit underwhelming and I didn't feel motivated to explore outside of the main quest.

Não gostei tanto quanto o jogo base, mas ainda assim é uma história ótima que foi contada num tempo bem curto. A ilha é linda e a exploração é divertida, mas devo confessar que me cansou um pouco jogar ela logo depois de zerar o jogo, deveria ter feito a DLC durante o jogo base.

Iki Island offers an extension to Jin Sakai’s saga with a deeply personal storyline. An essential expansion for those craving more of Tsushima's beauty and intrigue.

Predictable story, and whatever new additions

Fantastic, indispensable expansion, with more of the main game's open world gameplay loop, added a little variance.

Just short of perfect because it should've been more integraded into the main game; also, the story of what Jin's clan did on the island should have been referenced on the main campaingn.
In general, the expansion explores some of the protagonist's character facets, with him reflecting on his past and legacy, adding to his internal arc on the main plot.

If you liked the main game, this one is good too.
Played it in a continuous journey between one of the final chapter transitions of the main story.

Fantastic addition to the main game. I played this after completing the base game storyline but you could play this before the final credits. It does add background to Jin's character and the events that haunt him in the main story.

Again, the world is a blast to explore. It's fun and rewarding. The environment is beautiful. The storyline on Iki Island was interesting to play. Very cool to explore after a certain point in the story because Jin will have more unique interactions to things around him.

To add on this and the base game, Ghost of Tsushima does a very great job with detail. When you run in mud, your clothes will be muddy. You can leave footprints. Blood splatter, of course, after a fight.

Overall, great experience.

Ptdrr j'avais presque oublié la qualité des dlcs des exclus Playstation.
Bah une dinguerie, c'était un avant gout du prochain jeu.

Just like the main game, this was amazing, the story was great, the characters were great, the music, as always, was great, and also, the little armor styles you can get that're references to other PlayStation titles was also really cool.

Samurai batman fights mongolian scarecrow on a pretty japanese island

What a cool addition to an already great story. I enjoyed it immensely.

It took me a while to get around to this after playing the base game, but here we are. Iki island is a side story that further explores the protagonist's backstory through the memories of his fathers death long ago. It's a touching narrative in terms of how their strained relationship slowly unravels through flashbacks and visions, which bring Jin's unresolved inner turmoils to the surface. It doesn't really change much in terms of his character going forward, but it's a nice layer for the sake of depth. It's all about perspective in this story, and I liked it.

Iki island is nothing you haven't already seen in the base game, it's essentially a new island filled with more of the same content, and tougher enemies to fight who are able to switch combat styles on the fly, forcing you to adapt your fighting style in a moments notice.

It's fun that they gave your horse some upgrades, but in terms of new abilities.. that's all your getting, I mean Ghost of Tsushima is already an awesome game, and one I was happy to revisit with the PS5 upgrade, upping the FPS to 60 and improving the lighting, this island is beautiful to track in... though I will critique them for making the upgrade and the island separate purchases...

Honestly that's really all I have to say, Iki island provides a decent challenge and some new areas to explore, but offers very little in what I consider fresh and unique content, it's just more of the same.

It's a decent length though and side activities will only further extend your game time. This was a good time overall - 7/10

Achei a trama desse dlc um pavor, totalmente desinteressante e esquecível. Porém gosto do gameplay do jogo e da exploração pela ilha. Além de ter alguns dos cenários mais bonitos em que eu já vi em um videogame, o modo foto cantou!

This new locale is great, but the main world is far better to explore.

me the son of butcher of iki and my father's murderers fighting the same enemy? ummmm.... awkward!!

it's fine i guess just more of the main game really (for better or worse). it's funny how everyone tries to gaslight Jin into thinking HE is the reason his father and countless people died like dude he was 10 years old?
one thing to note is that it spoils the ending within the first 15 minutes and cuts access to fast travel for majority of its runtime so DO BE AWARE !!
