Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition Review (PS5)

Key Points:

• Ghost of Yotei: Complete Edition introduces a new story chapter, Echoes of Sekigahara, where protagonist Atsu pursues a former acquaintance, Nagato the Handsome, in the newly added Ashoro Foothills region, providing deeper insight into Atsu's character and backstory.
• The expansion mainly focuses on present-day action with a few flashbacks to the Battle of Sekigahara, offering about 8 to 10 hours of gameplay comparable to an existing region, including bounty hunting, side quests, and exploration.
• Combat and enemy design remain largely unchanged from the base game, with minor additions like "massive" weapons, and boss fights that maintain intensity but feel familiar; the DLC is solid but not essential for players already familiar with the game.
• The Complete Edition also includes a new Most Wanted mode, a single-player roguelike with randomized combat encounters, unlockable perks, skill trees, and four playable characters, including Jin Sakai from Ghost of Tsushima, offering a fresh, addictive gameplay experience.
• Most Wanted mode is accessible to players of all skill levels with adjustable difficulty settings, making it a valuable addition that enhances the overall package beyond the story expansion.
