    This is an awesome game! It does enough to differentiate itself from Nioh and Sekiro. The narrative is straight out of a 60s samurai film and the world is one of the most beautiful the ps4 has given us. The open world navigation with the wind direction is a great idea. This is what assassin's creed wishes it was.

    I have just finished this masterpiece.

    If you play no other game this year, I humbly suggest you play Ghost of Tsushima.

    It is a harrowing tale, but one rooted in both folklore and history. Jin Sakai is perhaps one of the most fleshed out protagonists that has ever been created in this medium.

    Sucker Punch Entertainment hit this one clear out of the park.

    A solid 9/10.

    I made an account specifically to review this game. Ghost of Tsushima is the best game I have played since God of War, and before that, the Witcher 3. The world was amazing, and the gameplay was divine. Excellent game!

    Ironic. A piece of **** like TLOU2 can get a Metascore of 94 but this masterpiece only can get 83. Kudos.

    1. Graphics are very nice but what makes it unique is the setting and lightning. You may find the overuse of flowers/sakura petals a bit annoying but thats what they focused on otherwise the world would be barren with nothing interesting to see.
    2. Combat is easy early on since you have just 1 stance, but it becomes a bit interesting after you get other stances as they are needed for specific enemies.
    3. Side activities vary from random encounters saving the people of Tsushima to random missions you get by talking to people. My nit picking with this is that they repeat quite often (i understand the need for content but making them memorable would be better).
    4. Lip syncing is ... bad. I don't know what happened there but from what i see in all the cutscenes, it is just not syncing with what they say (neither in english or japanese). Another nit picking i have to state is that you CANNOT skip cutscenes during your first gameplay (in New Game + i guess you can but cannot say for certain as i have not finished the game).
    5. I have maximum gear (weapons+armor) when i reached Act 2 and it does make the combat very dull since most enemies die very easy (1-2 hits except for big guys) but the setting, blood, samurai vibe and story keeps you going. The main issue i have is the camera that sadly i have to constantly move to make sure that i target the correct enemy but sometimes, when you are surrounded by 5 of them, it's harder than you think to hit the one you mean to. There is NO lock on system so you need to adjust your camera every time you prepare to hit/dodge/parry a specific enemy.
    6. I sometimes feel like the horse animations are a bit weird compared to other games but this is just 1 more small thing i would prefer to be different.
    7. Game has some nice puzzles and it feels a lot like an Assassins Creed game. To be fair, once you get further in the story, you get more and more vibes of Assassins Creed core ideas.
    8. There are a few masks/hats that can be found in the world just be exploring and some look awesome and you can combine them with armors.
    9. The Charm system is also nice and different from "weapons has X stat and buffs X stuff". Armors are a different thing - they added base buffs that can be improved by upgrading the armor. Armors change looks once upgraded.
    10. Resources can be found in most places but some of them are locked behind specific missions which makes me think that i have no option but to upgrade 1 or the other armor. Would've been nice if we could get all materials from random places in the world which would be randomized as soon as you restart the game (that way nobody can know exactly which location to go to in order to get X resource).
    11. I noticed a few screen tearings/white screen for half a second while riding the horse. I also managed to stuck myself in between 2 rocks for a few seconds then my character automatically jumped out of that position and sometimes it just respawned me. These kind of bugs are expected and fun if encountered so i won't hold them down for this. A few patches should fix those small things. No major bugs hindering progress were encountered during my gameplay sessions.

    Overall thoughts about the game:

    It has a wonderful setting with lots of activities that involve combat mostly, samurai stances and assassinations give you vibes of Assassins Creed, interesting story (can't give more info on that as i am barely at Act 2), simple upgrade system and simple resource gathering system.

    Would give this a 9/10 because of the above and would recommend it for any Open World Gameplay enthusiast that also enjoyed one of the following:
    Assassins Creed
    Zelda
    God of War
    Witcher
    Shadow of the Colossus

    Message to developers: Think of what makes a good game and focus on those aspects - Engaging Story with choices or unpredictable plot twist - Good combat with different ways to engage/escape - Good crafting/gathering system to make players willing to grind/find the specific materials - Entertaining puzzles that vary in difficulty (jumping/climbing/platform/mind) - Loads of customization (armors/accessories - more slots = more work for you but more options for the players) - Interesting and unique boss fights that can take you from 1 location to another and reward you with special gear/accessories.

    There are a lot more things that players want but this is - in my opinion - the bare minimum that some desire. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do in the future :). I appreciate your work and recommend it whenever i get the chance.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is by far on of the most beautiful looking games that will perhaps ever be seen on this console generation. The story is making with truly heart warming and 3 dimensional characters. The world is vast and expansive seen through an array of blended colors, mixed with the finest of paint brushes, by the carefullest of artist.

    It is really a Far Cry 3 sandbox approach (that is, the best kind of approach) where you are given freedom (which is contextualized by the story) to explore, gather resources and build your army.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a story about a samurai who picks up beats and pieces of his fallen nation to create this corkscrew army and try to take over the island of Tsushima.
    With some of the best graphics ps4 has ever seen, ballet-like combat, useful and rewarding progression system. I dare to say the words that at first sounded a bit weird but are more and more clear every time I go back to play the game:

    This game blew my expectations out of the water. A true test to your skills with a rewarding learning curve and the best open world design I've ever played. A must buy for all Playstation users.

    A fantastic exclusive to end the PS4 era with. Magnificent and utterly astounding open world, no nonsense combat as even a slight falter or button mashing won't help you on Hard mode. Side quests are the best way to experience the Sucker Punch magic. Undoubtedly, this game is my GOTY.

    a briliant game . the script is awsome as the graphics ,the battles are intense and the cinematics to me seemed like watching a movie the thist for vengeance drops from the beginning , a thing that make you wonder how far you can go to achieve your goal .historically is pretty accurate and the landscape is remarkable. for me it seems like a masterpiece i wanted to play before ps5 comes out

Since this is an open world game, there isnt much room to be original, but GoT surprisingly does it's best to be grounded and natural in it's own way. The story is good and straightforward unlike the complexity of games like TLOU part 2. the gameplay forces you to actually learn different stances and how they are related to each enemy type, which is a breath of fresh air considering that many other open world games are just hack n slash. The graphics are agreeably downgraded but they are still better looking than any of the games I've played this past year. The only noticeable difference from the 2018 trailer is the ground texture, thats about it. This game is amazing and I've never played a Sucker Punch game before, so don"t let negative reviews affect your decision.

    Ghost of Tsushima è un vero gioiello come gioco. Il tutto si potrebbero riassumere con il totale è più della somma delle parti, infatti seppur patisce qualche difetto tecnico come i bambu senza fisica e un cavallo sicuramente migliorabile riesce a tenere tutto insieme grazie a un gameplay da paura e un mondo di gioco poetico. È questa la direzione giusta, più giochi meno film, grazie.

    The map is just too beautiful, you can see how much work they have put in the game.
    Best part about this game would be its combat, you never get tired of it. It's fast paced, smooth combat. I just couldn't ask for any more.

    Simply amazing. Exceeded all my expectations and removed the sour taste of disappointment that TLOU 2 left in my mouth. Worthy swan song to PS4 era. Sucker Punch just nailed it.

    Graphics: 10/10, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Easily in the Top 5. Story: 9.5/10. It is amazing. The ending is absolutely well done and the pacing is great. Made me tear up at the end.    Simply amazing. Exceeded all my expectations and removed the sour taste of disappointment that TLOU 2 left in my mouth. Worthy swan song to PS4 era.

    Graphics: 10/10, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Easily in the Top 5.

    Story: 9.5/10. It is amazing. The ending is absolutely well done and the pacing is great. Made me tear up at the end. Gameplay: 9.5/10, combat is almost perfect. Extremely satisfying, challenging and with a lot of depth. I only removed the 0.5 points because of the clunky camera in closed areas and no lock-on system to counter that (like in Soulsborne). Music/Audio/Soundtrack: 9/10, simply amazing.

    Open World/Side Quests: 9/10. Open World feels alive, is huge (~30 km square) yet does NOT feel empty AT ALL with the frequent random encounters and overall the things to do. No minimap and wind guidance mechanic really helps to get lost in the world and enjoy the never ending beautiful scenery. It encourages and rewards exploration. Side quests are great. Although no Witcher 3 level, it is pretty damn close and each side quest have their own unique stories and are enjoyable. “Big” side quests (called Mythic Tales) are the best ones. They have their own entire plot and almost all of them have a great boss battle at the end and the rewards are amazing and totally worth your time. Fun factor: 10/10, forget the story, forget the graphics, game is just extremely fun to mess around, explore the world, fight enemies and etc. The most enjoyable game I have played all year and I have played TLOU2, FFVIIR, Doom: Eternal, Animal Crossing and etc.

    Overall: 9.5/10, my personal GOTY (the only game remaining that can even come close is Cyberpunk). I can see it being in my Top 10 games of all time just because of the quality open world, gameplay and combat alone. Other things are just icing on the top.

    P.S.: I gave the game 9.5 but rated 10/10 because after finishing the game and currently going for 100% completion and platinum, I personally think any less than 9.5 is not doing this game justice.    … 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.
