Ghost of Tsushima joins the great catalog of PlayStation video games on PC in the best possible way. A very well polished experience that feels fantastically excellent as is its PlayStation version.
Ghost Of Tsushima the best port of a PlayStation game to PC
Clearly, Ghost of Tsushima, this is a title released in 2020 for PS4 and in 2021 for PS5, along with the current director’s cut, as well as other titles such as God of War, its arrival on PC is seen with a graphical upgrade, as well as support for Nvidia’s DLSS and AMD’s FSR, among other technologies.
The story of Ghost of Tsushima takes us to the mythical and wonderful world of Feudal Japan in the thirteenth century, precisely in a small archipelago made up of three islands called Tsushima. It is a turbulent time, plagued by invasions, famines, fights between feudal lords and managed through fire, blood and sword, traditionally carried by powerful, honorable and fearsome warriors: the Samurai.
The game incarnates us in the heavy armor of a Samurai: Jin Sakai, the heir lord of the noble house Sakai, whose house, along with much of Tsushima, falls prey to the bloody clutches of a Mongol warlord, Kothun Khan, who aims to conquer the whole of Japan, starting with the island we must defend. Once our army is defeated and we are crushed by the Mongol chief’s force, our mission to assist the people, liberate villages and gain allies to restore order and peace to the island from the shadows will begin, becoming just a ghost, silently, brutally, Mongol by Mongol.

Needless to say, Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world third-person action game, where there are many ways to complete our objectives. Most of the objectives involve confrontations with different Mongol or bandit gangs, so Jin will have the option to confront them in different ways. Each approach has its own particularities. As for the direct confrontation, the game offers the option of “challenging” a group of enemies, opening a mini-scene called “Standoff”, which will allow us to take down 1 or more enemies immediately and thus start with a head start.
If we choose a silent one, there are multiple hiding places where we can go unnoticed, along with the availability of “little things” such as smoke bombs, “kunai”, explosives, among many others, which will facilitate the task of inadvertently ending with entire camps of enemies. As a third option, we have objects that activate environmental effects such as explosive barrels, wasp nests or incendiary grasslands to damage entire groups and kill them with knives or arrows more easily.
Ghost of Tsushima’s combat system is based mainly on swordplay, with light attacks, strong attacks and counterattacks, supported by an excellent defense mechanic and parrys that, depending on the time we manage when receiving an attack, can be extremely useful to take balance away from our enemy and be able to put some nice swords in the coconut. In case this doesn’t work, we can always rely on our evasion technique or roll around our opponent.
Ghost of Tsushima is a cute game, extremely beautiful, so much so that nature is captured fantastically by the game, having a completely dynamic cycle between day and night, with crazy sunrises and sunsets that set the autumn forests of Tsushima on fire with an intense orange. All the elements of the game seem to dance in front of our eyes, accompanied by a wonderful color palette, representing not only the natural environment, but also Japanese art.
Undoubtedly this PC version is wonderful, reaching fluidity and efficiency, without having found many bugs that interrupt the gaming experience. The game was run on a mid-range PC with a RTX 4060 graphics card, being able to quietly reach high / ultra graphics at 60 fps in 1080p, so, for most computers, no one will have a problem enjoying this wonderful adventure, which from now on I tell you, I suggest you to
