Sony's recent controversy surrounding the PSN requirement for Helldivers 2 on PC has had a ripple effect on the release of Ghost Of Tsushima on Steam. The highly acclaimed PlayStation 4 game has made its way to the Steam platform, but user reviews are already reflecting the fallout from the previous debacle.
Unlike the Helldivers 2 situation, where the PSN account linking requirement was announced after the game's release, Ghost Of Tsushima clearly states upfront that a PSN account is needed for the multiplayer co-op features and PlayStation overlay. However, players can still enjoy the entirety of the single-player campaign without this linkage.
Despite the transparency in communication, negative user reviews on Steam primarily focus on the PSN requirement rather than the gameplay or performance of Ghost Of Tsushima on the platform. This backlash underscores the impact of Sony's earlier misstep and the erosion of player goodwill.
It's worth noting that the timing of Ghost Of Tsushima's Steam launch coincides with Ubisoft's announcement of Assassin's Creed Shadows, the first Japanese installment in the Assassin's Creed series. Both games find themselves embroiled in controversies, diverting attention from what could have been a significant moment for Ghost Of Tsushima's debut on Steam.
Furthermore, the absence of official reviews from gaming websites or YouTube at the time of release raises concerns about the visibility and reception of the game among critics. This lack of early reviews may impact the initial perception of Ghost Of Tsushima on Steam.
