Iki Island is also rather tough, featuring strong enemies with some deadly new abilities. I’m very curious how it will play for people who decide to undertake it during the main game, given that it’s such a large detour from the main narrative, and certain elements will dynamically refer to events or characters from Tsushima. Having completed the game and earned my Platinum Trophy last year, my Iki playthrough served as a follow-up to the main game’s story, which felt appropriate, thematically. Iki is added to the map as a fourth zone, and you can fast travel anywhere on Tsushima or Iki just as fast (if not faster, thanks to the PS5) as moving around Tsushima in the base game. You can eventually return to Tsushima and then go back and forth to Iki at any time to clean up points of interest and other various side activities you may have missed on the island. In fact, whenever you choose to sail to Iki-anytime after reaching Act 2 of the main game-you’re more or less stuck there for the duration of its story. Iki Island, for the most part, serves as its own adventure separate from the events of the main game. Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut and Iki Island Expansion Review – Welcome to Iki Our original review of Ghost of Tsushima still stands. Note that we won’t be re-reviewing the base game here, except to account for the new PS5 enhancements. My hiccup getting to Iki Island wasn’t near as harrowing as Jin’s journey there. Players who haven’t yet experienced Ghost of Tsushima can play through the entire game for the first time with new PS5 enhancements and all current updates, while existing players can import their PS4 save and pick up where they left off (even instantly unlocking all of your previously earned Trophies). Ghost of Tsushima Director’s Cut brings the beloved PlayStation-exclusive game to PS5, and launches all-new content in the form of the Iki Island expansion. It’s a haunting new tale that ties in with the themes that came from Tsushima while standing admirably on its own, never feeling like it rehashes things that came before. Iki Island, however, presents an even more personal tale for the titular Ghost, who must wrestle with a dark past, personal demons and further realization that the ways of the samurai may not be so infallible as he was once taught to believe. Ghost of Tsushima was always a personal story for Jin, who had to wrestle with the ways of the samurai and whether or not “honor” was worth losing everything when there were other options.
