If anyone ever asks me for a game recommendation from PlayStation Plus I pretty much always give the same answer.Ghost of Tsushima.
You can play the director’s cut of the game right now and if you subscribe toPlayStation Plus, it’ll cost you nothing. No money at all for one of thefinest open-world gamesto ever appear on thePlayStationconsoles. There are so many reasons to play it and I could write for hours explaining them all, but I’ll simply give you one reason. The open-world of Japan.
Ghost of Tsushima is available to play on PlayStation Plus
As with any other open-world, the map is separated into regions, with each feeling pretty distinct. There are the war-torn battlefields, vast sweeping grasslands, bamboo forests, trickling streams, and water-logged rice fields. Spread out within these areas are pockets of beauty such as the hot springs which act as a healing method, or places to sit and contemplate beauty while writing a haiku. Then there are the traditional temples in out-of-the-way places requiring some nifty parkour to reach them.

Though many parts of the map will see you having to fight off bandits or warlord mini-bosses, there are surprisingly many moments of peace to be found. The long stretches of coastline are, once the battles have died down, serene and the graphical powerhouse of Sony’s consoles show off the subtlety in light or textures in the sands and grasses. Even in the more densely populated areas, or the hub zones of temples,the beauty continuesin the traditional architecture of Japan. The multi-floored temples are intricately detailed, and the people mill about among the objects littered throughout the areas. The villages range from wartorn to flourishing and the visual design always leads through the smallest details.
