It is an extremely immersive experience unlike anything I've ever played. A true tale of revenge as it were (unlike another game, which shall remain nameless), which is wrought via the blade of a samurai. Initially I thought the combat mechanics were very rigged from watching gameplay. However, after now having played it...they're not as rigged as I thought (slightly so). I guess one could say the movements are somewhat accurate since the combat is more realistic based than fantasy, It's easy to see that Sucker Punch are truly fans of Japanese culture since their depiction is so vivid.

    There have been some who said combat is easy, but it's not...compared to Way of the Samurai 4 it is leagues harder because all enemies rush you at the same time (again more realistic based combat) versus enemies attacking one at a time. That said I give GOS a 9 (it would be a 10) because I feel like SP didn't go far enough with enemy deaths, such as cutting off limbs or decapitation from katana. I also feel like they stopped short with aesthetic customization's in that you can't color things the way you want, it's only preset colors. Overall though a solid game, very reminiscent of Tenchu...but also sets it's own benchmark.

    *Note: You really have to be a fan of either the Samurai culture (old Samurai movies) and or Japanese culture to truly appreciate this game.    … Expand

    Such a fun and beautiful game that takes several risks but ultimately succeeds at everything it sets out to do beautiful graphics, timeless soundtrack, great combat, and compelling story I give it a 10 because not many games take risks like this.

The grass and leaves and wind give a movement and life to every moment which has not been seen before on playstation. The acting and facial animations are done well and the antagonists are interesting.
    The music is masterfully done, with some iconic pieces along with some really pleasant background music.
    The open world gameplay, a much loved genre, has been improved on in almost everyway. A cinematic and compelling main story, is supplemented with interesting and diverse side missions. On top of that, the open world staple 'copy and paste' missions, have nice gimics e.g. the fox, and are varied enough for them to soften any 'grind' these missions usually have.
    The combat is challenging and detailed, mixing assassins creed style stealth, with God of War level fights. Any fan of Tenchu will undoubtedly want to play this, and anybody who wants to feel like a strong hero can't go wrong with this game (even while retaining the challenging gameplay).
    This is a wonderful game, which has set the bar higher for open world games. Not only is it great, but the fact his is the new gold standard means I cannot help but give this game a 10/10. I look forward to playing Ghosts of Tsushima on the PS5, and also the sequels, which I hope will be made for decades to come.    … Expand

    Gráficamente no es un prodigio estilo RDR2 pero artísticamente una pasada, con el viento y los colores es increíble al igual que la banda sonora.

    Las misiones secundarias están bien, pero caso siempre es lo mismo, sigue unas huellas y mata varios mongoles, mejoraría ese punto también.

    Y por último lo que más me ha fastidiado del juego son:, los santuarios de zorros, las banderas y esas cosas qué en mi opinión con poner la mitad valdría, a veces se hace repetitivo.

If you play the story 100% and get the platinum trophy, the game has next to no replay value. That is a shame and could have been solved better. Otherwise great game!

"Who can play this without the camera being centered?" Are you seriously going to base 6 years of work off of "The camera." There have been and will be many AMAZING games without the camera being centered. And nothing angers me more then those comparing this to assassin's Creed. Cause it most definitely isn't. It may have similarities but what game doesn't anymore? Assassin's Creed wasn't the first for anything. It was just the most popular.

    Onto the proper review now.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a massive open world game based on a real Japanese island. The story is intriguing but I found it could be buried in the countless hours of other things to do. Which wasn't entirely a bad thing. My largest issue is particularly the movement system in some situations, crawling through certain gaps requires the camera to be moved strangely and the parkour isn't extremely responsive or accurate. The swordplay is well done and the use of "Ghost weapons" compliment the combat system. The ranged weapons are simple and effective. No complaints there. The stealth combat is highly effective. I personally recommend playing on the "Hard" difficulty with expert HUD for a more immersive experience. The landscape and visuals to this game are quite pleasing to the eyes. Very colorful but also can be gloomy when need be. One thing I must compliment any game on is the lack of microtransactions. Nothing in game is purchasable there is no unfair advantage in co-op and no way to get ahead in this game early on. Without spoiling the story I can assure you it's quite interesting but if you like it will be down to you. None the less it's an extremely fun game.    … Expand

    Really enjoyed my time playing, currently finishing up extras. The combat flows good, like the Batman Arkham series but with bladed weapons. The time period is very interesting, which adds to the feeling of being the unstoppable “ghost”. I decided to wait until next gen to play, but I definitely should’ve played this game sooner.

    Absolute masterpiece of a video game! The combat is some of the best I've ever seen in a single player game. The environment and graphics are stunning and breath-taking. Several times I'd stop in my tracks in awe of the sunset, or flowers blowing in the wind. This is a must-play if you have a Playstation.

    * This review is made on the original release of the game, without the DLC and the update of the Director’s Cut
    * More specifically, this review is based on the version of the game of the 6 september 2020

    Pro:
    + Super fast loadings, making fast travel and losing fights not annoying
    + Good graphic
    + Nice landscapes
    + Really good photo mode
    + Cinematographic cutscenes
    + Well balanced at any difficulty
    + Good story and characters
    + Every side quest has a unique story
    + Platinum trophy does not require to get all collectibles or to play at a specific difficulty
    + Good combat system, with different possibilities for approaching a fight
    + Nice fashion possibilities for the protagonist's outfit
    + Having the wind as a marker for objectives is really cool and it works
    + You can pet foxes
    + Small but good role-play possibilities
    + Enemies don't have an hive mind
    + You can keep playing after finishing the main story
    + Very few bugs for an open-world
    + There are different methods to find easily the points of interest of the map or the collectibles
    + The world is neither too big or too small
    + Japanese dub
    + You will find more resources and receive more exp than the ones needed to fully upgrade your character, so that it can be done without completing the game at 100%
    + Good tutorials

    Cons:
    - Kurosawa mode is not well implemented
    - Enemies' AI is pretty dumb
    - Enemies have too much tracking with attacks
    - No NG+
    - Dialogues and cutscenes cannot be skipped (but cutscenes will not be replayed when losing a fight)
    - The main and side stories and thematics are pretty simple
    - Most side quests are more or less the same gameplay-wise
    - You cannot pet your horse whenever you want
    - You cannot change the protagonist's position or pose during photo mode
    - Sometimes it's hard to find the shopkeeper you need in a village/town
    - Switching between weapons or bow ammos mid-fight without getting hit is sometimes pretty hard
    - Tutorials are sometimes really invasive, pausing the game mid-fight
    - No track of the playtime

    Miscellanous:
    * There are different options for audio, display and controls, but they're not as good as they could (and some even should) be
    * The combat system lacks a manual targeting function. It's hard to deal with it at the beginning, but since it has been thought to be like that, you'll get used to it after a few hours. Though, sometimes the game's auto-target doesn't work as it should.
    * If rushed, the game lasts ~20/30 hours. If completed at 100% ~50/60 hours. Most players play it for ~40 hours.    … Expand

    This game is Outstanding. Incredible graphics, amazing soundtrack, astonishing gameplay, great stoy....This game has the whole package!! Sucker Punch has evolved a lot since the PS2 days; when Sly Cooper arrived.

    Best exploration and open world I have played. The combat is deep and very rewarding

    Easily my favourite 2020 game so far; and on my top 5 of best PS4 exclusives.

    A game so very well paced and polished narratively, it's hard to not like it. The characters were fantastic, Jin Sakai, albeit slightly static and dense, is still an amazing individual. After losing everything, I have no idea why people expect him to be a individual with a lot of emotions. The side characters, so I wont go into much detail about, were given sufficient screen time and were all properly thought out.

    The world of Tsushima, empty, but beautiful. The moving foliage with fireflies and leaves fluttering around. The physics and variety in visuals is honestly the best I've ever seen in any game. Such artistic brilliance to its visuals creates a painting esque game which doesnt aim to be a shallow photorealistic journey. But it's not without its flaws, **** camera and god awful collisions. Especially while doing parkour, how Jin sometimes almost defies gravity as a bear sends him flying 6 ft above the ground. Still, these flaws can be easily ignored once you get immersed in the world. Camera will always bug you, and honestly, that's my only main gripe.

    Overall, voice acting, characters, narrative. 10/10. Even if the story might be cliche and predictable, it's still a game which has the soul of Japanese cinema. To give an authentic experience, not a unique one.    … Expand

    Going back to my first sentence. Growing up my father would tell me stories about the legacy of my family, how if not for our contributions and that of the many other samurai families that still mainly reside in Kyushu, that Japan might not even exist. So to see first hand a depiction of this era was just breathtaking. I actually got to get a glimpse of what it was like for my ancestors saw and felt.

    The game goes an amazing job of making you feel like you are fighting an uphill battle. Even though the island is naturally beautiful, scenes of death permeate the pristine landscape. An amazing duality of the beauty of our world and the macabre horrors of war.

    The combat is very deliberate and very gory. Your strikes feel very impactful, when you slice a person they feel it and it shows. Their comrades react accordingly, reeling in shock at their compatriot being decapitated in front of them and often stagger backward in terror.

    The game is just masterfully executed and is an experience from start to finish.    … Expand

    One of the best graphics that I have ever played. It actually is the only game that I often use the photo mode just to admire the view. The gameplay is quite challenging, although not the hardest one. The standoff is a pretty fun mechanic, I enjoy it much!

    The main story and side story are great and integrated well. The mission is fun if we decided to be stealth as much as possible.    One of the best graphics that I have ever played.

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    Ghost of Tsushima is a flawed, but fun, game. While the gameplay itself was solid, and the story was decent, I definitely expected a lot more from Sony’s final PlayStation 4 exclusive. It had enough to keep me hooked, but lacked the polish we’ve all grown to love from a Sony first party game.

    Ultimately, it feels like the game could have benefited from a smaller scope or a more linear structure. Focus on the duels could have created a more engrossing product, especially if it honed in on the narrative for a more concise and cinematic experience. But as it stands, Ghost of Tsushima is another AAA open world title and doesn’t seek to define itself as anything other than that.
