Yes, while console gamers play stuck, we, from the glorious PC Master Racewe can enjoy an even more fluid and immersive Tsushima.

Of course, that's if you have a machine that doesn't spontaneously combust when trying to run the game on ultra. If you're playing on a Xuxa PC, you might still be a little behind the consoles, but at least you can boast about playing and every now and then do that alt+tab and check if bitcoin has risen a little more. ALIVE!

Additionally, this version of the game supports ultrawide (21:9), super ultrawide (32:9) and even THREE monitor (48:9) configurations, which allows Tsushima's landscapes to truly expand to the limits of your peripheral vision.

Swapping the main monitor for a 32:9 variant really highlighted the landscapes of Tsushima island. The wind swaying the grasses and trees, sparkling lakes beside rustic war-torn villages, majestic forts and pagodas breaking through distant tree lines—they all look a little more real with the wider aspect ratio.

That being said, Ghost of Tsushima It remains quite beautiful in any aspect ratio.

Gameplay: An Old-Fashioned Samurai

If you played on console, you know that the gameplay of Ghost of Tsushima It's solid, but here on PC, there's a subtle difference.

Now, you can perform those elegant katanas with the precision of a mouse. Who knew chopping off Mongols' heads would be even more satisfying at 1440p and a 144Hz refresh rate? And for those who love a good hot button, setting up your skills and weapons has never been simpler. Goodbye, clunky selection wheels!

Additionally, the high and stable frame rate made combat much easier compared to the console version. It's not as brutal and unforgiving as a soulslike, but the timing of counterattacks and sword parries is crucial in this game, so smoothness is a huge benefit. It also helped when lining up rapid bow shots, especially shooting from horseback, which requires a good degree of accuracy.

Story: The same, but now with mods

The story remains the same, of course. Jin Sakai is still on his epic quest to save Tsushima from Mongol invaders. But now, with the PC version, we have the promise of mods. This means that soon, we will probably see Jin riding a Thomas the Tank Engine or wearing SpongeBob armor. Because seriousness and respect for history are secondary when you can make internet jokes, right?

Multiplayer: Play Like Never Before (Literally)

The multiplayer mode of Ghost of Tsushima It's here too, ready to be explored with your PC friends. This means you can now see what it's like to fight alongside someone whose ping is just as bad as yours, but at least you'll both have their graphics maxed out. And with a little luck, maybe we'll get a mod that replaces all the enemies with characters from other game franchises, just for laughs.

Interesting Extras

An interesting detail is the ability to render scenes in real time, allowing lip synchronization in Japanese. It may seem like a small detail, but this is a game you should play with Japanese audio, whether in Cinema Samurai mode (Japanese language, English subtitles, color graphics) or Kurosawa mode (Japanese language, English subtitles, visuals in black and white with film grain). Thus, the Japanese lip syncing in the scenes adds a lot to the immersion. 「PCマスター・レース、今回も素晴らしい恵みをありがとう」
