    Uno de los posibles gotys del año, muchísimo mejor q tlou2 bajo mi punto de vista. El apartado técnico es espectacular, te recuerda a la Japón de aquella época en todo momento y la música en combates es buenísima. Llevo unas 5 horas y creo que me quedará bastante mas

The environment of Ghost Of Tsushima is beautiful. Possibly the most beautiful game I’ve played to date. Jin is a great protagonist. One of the things that I love about him is that he sort of acts like Kratos and Samurai Jack, who don’t seem to talk as much but when they do it sounds plain, and that is because Jin was trained to control his emotions and keep them aside at times since he was young, making him an interesting protagonist. He also does not stop fighting until the poor and weak are safe, which shows the hero in him and love it.… Expand

    This is a great game. The visuals are stunning, probably the best I have ever seen on PS4. Sucker Punch has done a great job of portraying the Japanese culture and landscape, probably the best i've ever seen.

I had feared that the combat would be a dumbed down button mashing experience like in Assassins Creed but it surprised me how engaging and diverse it is. If you played Sekiro before then it is fair to say that Tsushima does not need to hide. On top of that it is refreshing that the Open World is not a boring, superficial and repetitive Ubisoft formula type but rather filled with interesting and memorable side-quests on par with the Witcher 3.    … Expand

    El juego es muy entretenido, me encanto el combate, la exploración, la historia, los personajes y las misiones secundarias y eventos del mundo. Lo que sentí que le faltó fue en las animaciones de parkour y la animación cuando derrumban a Jin con un barrido de lanza, sería mi única queja con el juego.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most visually striking, fun to play games I have personally ever played.

This incredible samurai epic which draws parallels from such films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, transports you to an era where steel, and patience are the key to victory against the Mongol Hordes. I found myself stopping and staring at the beautiful vistas presented to me too many times to count in the first few hours alone, only to run a few hundred yards to initiate a standoff against a wandering patrol of Mongols in which I cut them down like I was hitokiri battousai. While the game itself is both visually and mostly fun at times, there are minor issues I ran into with the camera at times when fighting in densely populated areas with buildings. The camera does not make objects transparent so if you are fighting and there happens to be a pillar, tree or wall, it will obscure your vision. This can be fixed with simple camera adjustments, but when you're in the heat of the combat, trying to strike down 5-6 foes some of which are of screen it can be rather frustrating. While this is an issue, it rarely happened to me in game, although it was annoying when it did. The compelling characters, and side quests in conjunction with the free flowing combat system, make this game a joy to play, despite these very few insignificant hiccups. Bottom line is if you are a fan of Samurai epics, incredibly easy to pick up gameplay, open world games where the beauty of the world around you will literally make you stop and appreciate it this is the game for you. Although I had slight problems with the camera work at rare intervals, the package is the closest thing I have seen to a complete, bug free, and incredibly enjoyable experience in ages. I will admit that I have a bias toward Samurai games that are done well, so although this would traditionally be a nine out of ten for me due to the rare instance of annoying camera work, the overall setting, dedication to detail and gameplay hit detection that is almost perfect edges this into the ten out of ten category. Even people that don't enjoy Samurai tales will find something to enjoy here, and to me this is a strong contender for game of the year.… Expand

    Sometimes playing video games is a chore. You move from one point to the next with a inevitable open-world tedium. Every story is the same, every character is the same.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the polar opposite of this; it reminds you why games are fun.

    There is life in every frame. Every heartbeat of the brutal, intensely satisfying combat; every drop of rain and every leaf journeying the wind; the slow, melodious hum of the world flows through the player to the sound of an enchanted medieval Japanese flute.

    This is why we play games.

    Ghost of Tushima never condescends the player; it's a game made by gamers who feel tired of being strung along. The emphasis is adventure, and the fulfilling feeling of growth and mastery of the world and your skills.

    Addictiveness:. When I find myself starting to play at 6am and 3seconds later it's 1pm.

    Replayability: when I stop playing and I want to go back forore as soon as possible. I go back the next day and the next day and the next day.

    Finally, Story: I don't need a story that's Oscar award winning to enjoy a game. But if the game has a decent story to tell it makes it all that better. Even if it's a familiar tale as long as its put together well I'll enjoy it.

    Ghost of Tsushima has it all. Great story, satisfying gameplay, and a beautiful world. Although not the most impressive graphics from a technical standpoint, GoT is artistically the most beautiful game I've ever played. Even the music is a solid 10/10. Please do yourself a favor and play this gem. Sucker Punch knocked it out of the park with this one.

It's a great way to pay homage to that Asian belief while also improving your character.
    I can't love this game enough, if you are still thinking if buying or not, be sure that you won't regret it, this game is so well thought, you get your main character and progress with him but in the way you meet so many more strong supporting characters both male and female and they all make sense.

    This game didn’t do anything revolutionary, but the things it does are flawless. Combat makes you truly feel like a one man wrecking crew without being way over the top and having you do crazy flips and unrealistic moves. The environments are gorgeous and the characters are very likeable. The loot system feels balanced and upgrading also feels balanced.

    Love this game so far. The open world feels alive and the space doesn't feel wasted. I didn't like the fact that the HUD was missing at first but now that I am used to it, it feels like an improvement over most open world HUDs. The only negative is the camera sometimes goes at odd angles.

The story although can be predictable but is great nonetheless.

    Ghost of Tsushima offers some of the best looking environments and vistas in any game of the current generation.
    The combat is fluid and fast-paced, and due to some great skill progression, it will feel rewarding throughout the entire game.

    The stealth gameplay on the other hand, feels a little stale with really bad enemy AI. I'm personally also very done with hiding in tall grass as part of "stealth" gameplay.

    The main missions in the game are very well written, and the overall story is touching even if it's not revolutionary at all.
    The side missions however vary greatly in quality, with some of them sadly being downright boring and poorly written.

    Finally exploration has all of the tropes you know and love/hate from open world games, but packaged in a way that neatly fits the overall theme and setting of the game, making exploration feel rewarding instead of a checkpoint chore.

    Overall Ghost of Tsushima is a great game, full of fast-paced samurai action, set in a stunning world, that is a true joy to your eyes.
    It doesn't change up the open-world formula much, but instead delivers the known tropes in a focused package.

    If you enjoy open world games, you will love Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

    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.
