I know Sony is a Japanese company, and I know the devs did consult with a Japanese division of Playstation, but it’s evident by how often we’ve heard of the influences of “Samurai cinema” on this game that a true depiction of historical accuracy is not to be had here. I have to say I would feel more comfortable with the game if it was created by a Japanese team. Now, with all this said, I will admit that I have some uneasiness about the team of devs behind GOT being mostly non-Japanese white people. This phenomenon is known as the divine wind. Thankfully for Japan, not one, but TWO storms ended up destroying large portions of the invading forces’ fleets, saving Japan from both of the Khan’s attempts to conquer them, the first in 1274 and the second in 1281. They had a lot of adapting to do! Mongols were also great masters of horsemanship and archery, and utilized many different weapons in battle. Samurai horses were terrified of the Mongal armies’ use of bombs. When the customary arrow was shot to announce the start of battle, it’s reported that the Khan’s men laughed. It is true that the the traditional style of battle the Japanese were accustomed to was completely outdated to the Mongols. (Here’s an example of me not wanting historical accuracy. They took many women prisoners with them. The invading forces were simply too great in number for Tsushima and Iki. It’s under his rule that the plan to conquer Japan first came to fruition. The Mongols, setting out from Korea, absolutely obliterated Tsushima before pressing on in their attack towards the island of Iki, and then on to Hakata Bay. The grandson of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, became the first emperor of the Yuan Dynasty after conquering all of China. These are not criticisms of the game in an absolute sense but in a relative sense-while the Iki Island expansion remains a well-crafted experience that borrows from the excellent fundamentals of Ghost of Tsushima and offers a fun extension of your journey with Jin Sakai, it cannot help but be dwarved by the sheer majesty of the original, making it feel somewhat underwhelming in comparison. The new villain feels less compelling than Khotun Khan, and new side characters are also less endearing than the ones I met in Tsushima. The new story campaign, while enjoyable, does not punch nearly as hard as the intensely emotional and thrilling story told in the main campaign. Although Iki Island offers a fun new map to explore along with new activities, new quests, and a new story campaign, it largely feels derivative and perfunctory and does not stand out substantially from what Ghost of Tsushima already accomplished. While I enjoyed the Iki Island expansion, I think it ultimately fell short of the sky-high benchmark set by its parent game. Nuanced haptic feedback during cutscenes, during horse-riding, and during combat makes for an incredibly satisfying and immersive experience, and I am extremely jealous of everyone who will be experiencing Ghost of Tsushima’s main story for the first time on the PS5 as the Dualsense features would transform the experience-which, to begin with, is already exceedingly magnificent-tremendously. On the PS5 version, the implementation of Dualsense features is absolutely stellar. Ghost of Tsushima is one of 2020’s finest titles, and is perhaps Playstation’s most remarkable new IP in a long time-in fact, I adored the breathtaking and emotional tale told by Ghost of Tsushima so much that I crowned the game my personal runner-up GOTY last year. And then how that in turn, morphs into ‘The Way of the Ghost’ later on when in the final battle. (I loved seeing Adachi so much though omg <3 <3 <3) It was very interesting how the song Jin ends up playing for his father at the end of the memories is the ‘Jin Sakai’ theme.

Though it does hurt and make you wonder if Shimura was frightened that Jin was turning into his dad.I had that thought many times. <3 <3 <3 But it hurts knowing their fate too <3 That while Shimura was more of a father to Jin than Kazumasa was, eventually, he couldn’t accept what Jin was doing in their way. And it hurts that he was closer to Shimura’s way of thinking and how we even see that one time that Shimura corrects Jin, that his recitation of what honor means were his father’s words, and gets Jin to say that kindness is what honor means to him and wow. The first memory I got was their chat before Kazumasa’s death and honestly that got me all teary because Jin wanted so badly to hear him say he accepted him as his son, but deep down, would he have felt it? And my heart just breaks so much for Jin because as I kept going through the memories, I kept thinking how well 1) his dad sucks, but 2) both father figures kept wanting Jin to be somebody else.
