  Hands On Ghost of Tsushima's Free Co-Op Update Defies All Expectations

  Legendary

  Ghost of Tsushima: Legends has arrived courtesy of Ghost of Tsushima's free 1.12 update, and it's shockingly good. We had reasonably high expectations for this co-op excursion, but Sucker Punch's efforts have still blown us away.
