The new chapter of Ghost of Tsushima adds to Jin's backstory in a way that makes it feel essential, while adding even more of the best stuff from the vanilla game.
Phil Hornshaw spent about 12 hours exploring Iki Island, where he made sure to work through every dad issue, climb every mountain, and pet every animal. Review code was provided by the publisher.

Good snag! I’ve been loving mine! Don’t overlook Returnal either. Yes, it’s hard - blisteringly so, but it’s also one of the most innovative major releases I’ve played in years. Either way, thus looks amazing & I’ll be grabbing it for sure.

Or if have the time a long methodical run where I try to further progress the story.

@@youtubinit in the directors cut version, you go to the map screen and all of the replayable enemy camps and duels are highlighted in yellow on your map. You hover over it and it allows you to select replay. I'd already completed the original version of the game before the directors cut dlc was released so I'm guessing this only becomes an option after the main story has been finished. Either way it's great to be able to replay some of these.

I wouldn't recommend it, if you haven't already completed the game and aren't already familiar with the story, however, if you have already completed the game then yes, you can start after completing act 1. When you play the Iki island expansion there are a few spoilers and references to the base game.

​@@davidmoloney3401 Yeah I have already platinumed the PS4-Version. I just wanted to create a New Game for PS5 Plat though. I reached Act 2 yesterday and quickly grabbed the Sakai armor and finished Yurikos sidequests and then went off to Iki. I am glad I could go there pretty early because the stuff you get on Iki is extremely awesome! Though I noticed an error in dialogue. Jin told the Eagle that he killed Khotun and that 1000 Samurai will arrive tomorrow even though rn I haven't killed Khotun and there's only 1 other Samurai on Tsushima. So yeah, intended to be played after the main story I guess.

@@scarletshivers ahh, the DLC is intended for those that have completed the game already, like I said before i wouldn't start the game if you haven't already completed the game because just like that dialogue, there are many spoilers and references to the story on Tsushima. But when he mentions the samurai and Lord Shimura, I think this confirms the true ending to the story which is that you don't kill lord Shimura in the end, and the arrival of 1000 samurai is the reinforcements sent by the shogunate to defend Tsushima

@@davidmoloney3401 Nah, after having finished Iki, and after having finished that mission in particular, it is obvious that Jin was just bluffing. Regardless of your ending, the samurai despise you and still want you dead. Also, Jin mentioned several times that Tsushima is still swarming with Mongols, which wouldn't make sense after the game's completion. They also refused to get rid of Kenji, because you might not have done his 3 Tales on Tsushima, though that is unrelated to main story progression.
