ghost of tsushima

 

there's a fantastic used game and tech shop in my city, and a little while ago i went with the goal of finding ps5 games to play that i wouldn't have to spent $70 on (because that's what a new ps5 game costs. seventy dollars. yeah it's beautiful but at what cost?? seventy dollars i guess). i lucked out on a used copy of the director's cut of ghost of tsushima, a game i had seen images of and of which i'd heard generally positive reviews but otherwise knew nothing. as far as i could tell, the director's cut is the base game + some digital exclusives (an especially beautiful horse is one) + the DLC (which is a whole other storyline on a whole other island). i was given the option to play the game in "kurosawa mode," which is black and white and appears as if on film, which is fun. i went with the basic mode, and i'm glad. this is a beautiful game with wonderfully saturated colors.
