Ghost of Tsushima DIRECTOR'S CUT

Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut is an open-world action-adventure game from Sucker Punch Productions (USA, creators of Infamous), released on PC for the first time on May 16, 2024. You play as Jin Sakai, a samurai and one of the surviving defenders of Tsushima Island. The year is 1274: the Mongol army of Khotun Khan has seized the island and taken your uncle and mentor, Lord Shimura, prisoner. To save Tsushima, you have to break the samurai code of honor and become the "Ghost", a shadow warrior who strikes with fear rather than head-on combat.

What happens in the game: you explore feudal Japan on horseback, through plains, mountain paths, villages and ancient shrines, and choose your own style: direct samurai combat (parrying, stances) or the Ghost's stealth sabotage (poison, smoke bombs, distraction). Director's Cut includes the Iki Island expansion, a separate story act with a new region, new enemies and a personal story about Jin's past.

Why it matters: Metacritic PC 89/100, Steam Very Positive ~93%. 13+ million copies across all systems by 2024, and at release it was Sony's largest Steam debut for a single-player game. The PC port by Nixxes Software was highly rated for its quality: DLSS 3 / FSR 3 / XeSS, 4K support, ultrawide format, Steam Deck Verified. The sequel Ghost of Yōtei (2025, PS5) is confirmed, with Legends DLC in 2026 (PlayStation.Blog, August 2025).

Who it is for: if you value cinematic storytelling, a beautiful open world and a flexible combat style, this is a benchmark of the genre. Full Russian localization covers the interface, subtitles and voice-over. You can also play with Japanese audio and Russian subtitles, an authentic mode in the style of classic Japanese cinema.
