DOSHO

I don't care about the drama going on about Sony requiring an account or whatever. What I care about is that I have been waiting since this game hit the PS4 for it to come to PC. I wasn't sure it would. I dreamed of it. It looked so amazing. The story sounded fascinating. I housesat for a relative and spent an entire week playing this game on PS5. It lived up to the hype, and I hated to leave it, since I don't own consoles. (Why buy consoles when you're building a new badass gaming PC every few years?) When I got back home however, I learned that the game was in fact releasing on PC, and it was going to be in May. I was elated to say the least. Sure, I'd played through it at least once (96 hours in a week is rough) but I genuinely missed the world, and the characters. Obviously as soon as it went up for preorder, I purchased it.
How does it play on PC? Well, in my case I get 120fpsc, but I get a hard stutter every 3 minutes or less. It lasts about 3 seconds. Why does it happen? Probably a memory ♥♥♥♥, or because I am running all AMD products (It's a known thing unfortunately.) I have an R9 5900x, an ATI Radeon 7900XT, and 32gb of ram. It's probably somewhere in that configuration that the problem exists. I still play. A lot. My friend has an intel/nVidia comperable to my build and doesn't have the issues at all, and he's put in over 90 hours already so I'd say the game carried over quite well. I'm hoping that the mod scene takes off, though I don't expect it to be like skyrim or anything.
The game itself is amazing. There's a reason the Japanese really enjoyed the game. It's history-building is top notch. The world they've created is beautiful regardless of time of day, weather or the drama happening. Often during a crazy mission, I find myself stopping and just admiring the landscape around me. I have a few games, and I can say I have never seen a world that is so well built, beautiful, and feels genuine. The first time I really noticed the authenticity was when I was traveling through a ginkgo forest. I have a ginkgo tree here at my house, so I recognized it immediately, and seeing the leaves floating around as you trot briskly through the forest is awe-inspiring. (My ginkgo tree is about 2 feet tall at the moment, but the leaves are very distinct and beautiful.) Other little details catch you offguard as well. I have well over 130 hours into this game, and see no end in sight. I actually have to make myself wait to play it until all of my obligations are filled, as I can't pull myself away from it once I'm playing.
If you have been living under a rock, and haven't heard of this game, rest assured you'll want to play it. It's gorgeous, the controls are super tight (tighter if you have a PS5 controller. Sadly I gifted mine to my nephew lol) The story is insanely good. The fetch quests are few and far between. The sidequests feel like part of the main story, and often you encounter people while doing other things that will ask you for assistance, or tell you about something interesting that will set you off on a multi-hour long mission to discover something unrelated to your main quest. You don't regret following those leads.
From what I hear, you don't need some monster PC to get playing, and there are mods to get the game running better on lower end hardware if you need them (or just use process lasso to boost the priority of the game)
If you love Japanese history, culture, or you just love a great story with memorable characters and plot twists you genuinely don't see coming, this is a must play. Just know more than likely you're going to put some serious time into the game. You gain skills and upgrades over time, but rest assured, the game is fun from the moment it starts, upgrades are a bonus, not a must to enjoy the game. Obviously as you play through the main questlines, you'll acquire new skills required to progress. However, the bulk of your character development is solely up to you, your playstyle, and the side objectives you choose to involve yourself in (I suggest doing ALL of them.)
As is with any title ported from another system, there are some slight annoyances that will likely be dealt with via patches in the future. As I mentioned before, there is drama surrounding the requirement of a sony account to utilize multiplayer. I personally don't give a crap. People are seriously butthurt about it though, so if you're one of those people, maybe skip the game and save yourself, and the people genuinely enjoying the game the stress. I don't shill for sony (as I have been accused of for whatever reason.) however, I am genuinely exstatic that they are porting their exclusives to PC at last. What I have said all along, is don't throw a damn fit about the account crap if you want more exclusives to come to PC. You're shooting all PC gamers in the foot by doing so. Sony doesn't have to release these games to the PC market (though it makes good business sense to do so) we should encourage them to release more of them so more people can enjoy them. People buying or building gaming PCs aren't likely to purchase a console (thought I almost bought a PS5 for this game alone) so this is a chance for us to play games we had no access to prior.
With that being said, the game is a gem. I know it's like 4 years late to make it to PC, but I honestly believe a 4 year old game should definitely win PC game of the year. Nothing comes close.
Play the game. Enjoy the world, however destroyed it has become, and save those you love, redeem your honor, and meet people that have lived a much different life than you could ever imagine.

Review After 100%

Just wanted to start off by saying this is one of my favorite games of all time! Really enjoyed every aspect about this title, from the awesome combat stances, to the tear-jerking main story. Featuring jaw-dropping visuals and an open world environment that urges you to explore and find hidden treasures that feel rewarding and worthwhile as you progress through your playthrough. Conquer territories to drive out invaders and build up your reputation as “The Ghost” to carve your own destiny. Progressing through the story opens up the map even more. A whole new unique area is added with the Iki Island expansion where you get a glimpse of the Sakai family history while taking on a new threat to Tsushima. Had a ton of fun with the Legends multiplayer expansion, where you can play as four different class characters to complete another story in a mission-based format, battle with others in a PvEvP game mode, or tackle a three-chapter raid with friends. This is a game I can recommend everyone go out and get all achievements for because they really take you through all that this wonderful game has to offer. The second title is already in the works, and I am definitely going to be all over it day one.

Achievement Count: 77
Time to 100%: ~75hrs
Difficulty: ★★★✩✩
Genre of Game: Open World, Story Rich, Action, Adventure
Fun Rating: 10/10

That wasn't a kami-kaze that saved Japan. It was Jin Sakai spamming changine the weather by playing his flute.

Pretty good Haiku simulator
