Recycled review from Director's Cut:
As if Sucker Punch didn't already put Ubisoft to shame with last year's release of GoT, they went and did it twice in a row this year with a cut that added an expansion and more things to the game in a way that made it better than last time how Ubisoft wish they could with all of their DLCs as of late.
Started and finished the Iki Island story line on day one of release it was that good, dare I say the story was even better than that of the Tsushima story in some areas. Seeing an in depth analysis of Jin's father and the people who killed him was exciting to see and something I wanted in a potential sequel.
Aside from that, the Director's Cut improves on everything else. There's now lock-on in combat which will make the combat that more easier for people who had struggles with the camera work beforehand. There are new animations and ways to do things in combat and in parkour/stealth, and personally the colour scheme aesthetic for me is also improved, everything fits the black, white and gold theme now in the button prompts. You are also able to replay camps/duels which is something fans wanted for awhile, giving you more to do in your free time when there's nothing else to do.
Other additions I really liked was the ability to charge at enemies on your horse, the addition of the flute as a duel sense mechanic and being able to pet deers, cats and monkeys alike.
Overall, a solid cut and DLC expansion. Hope Sucker Punch continues with this franchise because it's definitely the magnum opus for PlayStation exclusives in my opinion.
