I know that the two are not even close to being comparable so I mainly want to know if I should wait for the Director's Cut of Yotei on PS6. I am not itching to play either but I love parrying mechanics and samurais.
 
The PS6 release has said to be delayed by at least 2 years due to all the component shortages by the AI boom.
So are you willing to keep yearning for several more years for something that might not even be released?
 
Mini reviews/thoughts.

Yotei: Perhaps my expectations were too high for Yotei or maybe it is because I am a pleb who does not own a PS5 Pro, but the game did not immediately suck me in like Tsushima did. Looks like a 7/10 for now, but I stopped playing because of the unskippable cutscenes.

Ronin: Sucks Ass(assin's Creed) but by putting the game on mute and simultaneously consuming the 935th season of Grey's Anatomy on my second TV, it becomes a 7/10 experience, holistically speaking.

Must have been my high expectations then. I played Yotei and Tsushima (though it was my 2nd playthrough of that, first being on a PS4 and this time the DC on PS5) with a 3 or 4 day gap, basically how long it took Yotei to be delivered after finishing my Tsushima replay, and Yotei just did not feel like a "Ghost" game. Yes, there is only one game before it in the series if you can even call it that and while Yotei is no Assassin's Creed, it also did not match Tsushima (a 10/10 experience imo).

That said, I am happy that others are enjoying it. Maybe in the future I will too, even if not as much as its predecessor.

Forgot to add: played both on my Switch OLED with chiaki.
