The original release of Ghost of Tsushima also had a great critical reception with a critics average score of 83 on Metacritic, but it is the expansion + improved PS5 release that has managed to outscore any of the previous efforts by Sucker Punch, becoming their highest-rated games since Sly 2 on the PS2.
