"Ghost of Tsushima" faced a wave of negative reviews on Steam, primarily due to the requirement for players to link a PlayStation Network (PSN) account for multiplayer features, despite the game being well-advertised. This backlash follows Sony's earlier controversy with "Helldivers 2." However, since the game's launch, reviews have improved significantly, indicating strong player satisfaction with the game itself, separate from the PSN issue. This improvement in reviews coincides with the release of Ubisoft's "Assassin’s Creed Shadows," which is also mired in its own controversy.
