Hello all! I have played Ghost of Tsushima last year, and while I thought the visuals were stunning and the gameplay and atmosphere were tremendous, the game felt a bit too long and repetitive for me. The story was nice, but due to the slow pace it didn’t have the emotional impact it might have gotten if the game was a bit more concise.
So recently I was running low on space on my PS5 and decided to play and finish the DLC, so that I could reclaim the 65GB for other stuff.
This DLC fixed almost all the issues I had with GoT. The map was smaller and more densely packed. The busywork didn’t outstay it’s welcome and the new gameplay additions were all super cool. The activities were less in number than the original game but the quality was higher in my opinion. Finally the story was really cool (although I feel like they still played it a bit safe in the end).
What did you think of it? I would also love to discuss the story (but use spoiler tags for the new people).

I was really into the game before the end of the first island but really started hating that there was a mongol group every 100 feet on the roads, and that even if you roll to dodge an attack if they’re mid-air lunge they will seemingly change direction mid-air and still hit you.
I took a break partway into the 2nd island and I’m still skittish about restarting because of how repetitive the game seems.
Honestly, I fixed this for myself by seeing each Act as a separate game (and DLC as game 4) and playing other games for a while after “finishing” each one. This way it feels fresh again :)
