The fighting mechanism in this game is pretty good and easy to grasp. At first you will think it is pretty basic but as you level up you find that the beauty of it comes from the mo-cap attack animations. Battles can get pretty overwhelming if you are not careful and the scenery in this game. I mean breathtaking. The vistas and landscapes in this game are pretty awesome, especially with the filter, but truth be told you don't even need it. I replaced my playstation wallpaper from the dynamic theme to one of the pictures i took. It is that good. I feel that this game is very unique in it's style. For some reason i keep thinking about Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 when I am playing maybe it is the open world....or the horses. Oh and spoiler, some of the boss battles, where you learn a new move can be really intense. Oh and for fans of the sly cooper franchise, there seems to be a bit of its dna in this game. I can't put my finger on it but it is in there.… Expand

    Sucker Punch has created a gorgeous open world, with slick, satisfing combat and an interesting and varied open world. I'm only about 8 hours in but have so far enjoyed only a small portion of the what the game has to offer but I'm loving it so far. Congratulations Sucker Punch

    This game is incredible, one of the best games I’ve ever played. The graphics are beautiful, the story is amazing (I haven’t completed it yet, however) but so far I’m enjoying.

    Definitely a whole 10/10 for me unlike the 2/10 which was TLOU2.

    Though I have only been able to play through the first act of the game it has been a great game, though I have died more times than I can count (hard mode might just be too hard for me), it is a beautiful looking game and the gameplay great as well. While there are a few kink's in the AI when sneaking around it is still a game I would call Game Of The Year worthy.

    I came into this game with a lot of hype. As a big fan of sucker punch (having played all sly cooper games and Infamous games) I had high expectations due to this being an open-world, samurai game set in Feudal Japan in the 1200’s. SuckerPunch blew my expectation away to put it lightly. I’ve spent about 20 hours and I’m still in act 1 due to the sheer amount of content in the game. TheI came into this game with a lot of hype.

The gameplay is really nice and the combat is smooth and despite some issues I still have a lot of fun. This is one of the few games I plan on 100% and beating more than once. I recommend playing it twice, first play it how you want and then the second time play in Kurosawa mode to experience the full beauty.… Expand

    The Combat is fricking amazing. It has to grow on you. You will suck for a while but when you master parry and switching between stance it turns into something amazing. Also, the standoffs man, it feels so good no matter how many times you do it. This game also has a lot of enemy variety.

    Another open world yet it uses unique ways to direct you around the world without icons being all over the screen.
    Visually stunning.
    Combat really makes you feel like a samurai.
    Music is wonderful.

    This is must play for everyone on PS4

    What a way to close out the era of the PS4.

It misses the perfect mark only due to a few minor bugs and blemishes that could be ironed out and perfected through updates or DLC content.

    A masterpiece in the the PS4 generation. This game is put along side with my ps4 favourites that include god of war, spiderman, horizon zero dawn and FF7 remake.

    The summary of my reasons for the score: Good: -Graphics are just stunningly beautiful with the use of vibrant colors of the environment and also the physics of the world that makes it come alive. -Story: a revenge story    A masterpiece in the the PS4 generation. This game is put along side with my ps4 favourites that include god of war, spiderman, horizon zero dawn and FF7 remake.

    The summary of my reasons for the score:
    Good:
    -Graphics are just stunningly beautiful with the use of vibrant colors of the environment and also the physics of the world that makes it come alive.
    -Story: a revenge story consisting of supurb voice acting and in depth characters that help you throughout your journey in recapturing the lands of Tsushima that has been taken by the mongol empire.
    -The lack of UI in gameplay makes the game even more immersive than most open world games. Clever use of foxes and wind to guide you to hidden gems and objectives, provides you the natural sense of wanting to explore more.
    -Combat: a smooth and fluid combat system that provides you different stances to approach different types of enemies and a large array of utilities available to make your fight much more exciting! The game truly makes you feel and fight like a samurai (if you choose that path of course).
    -The open world has many activites similar to AC but does it even better without the grind/pay wall to get you to the next main quest or acquiring a better gear.
    The bad:
    -Japanese dub, the game should of been recorded in japanese and have english as a dub feature for a more authentic experience as the japanese dub is off sync with the lips during dialogue. But the english voice acting is excellent and i don't see it as a reason to take points off.

    Overall: Ghost of Tsushima is a perfect samurai AC game i have been waiting decades for and when ubisoft does make a japanese AC game i don't think it will compare to this masterpiece. Every feature in this game has been polished and for that reason it's a must BUY on full price to help support Sukerpunch and this game itself.    … Expand

    Świetne walki, ale można "zepsuć grę" po prostu chodząc na jakiś dach gdzie przeciwnik nie wejdzie, kucnąć i po chwili zeskoczyć ▲ zabijając od tak 3 przeciwników.
    Natknąłem się na kilka zabawnych bugów gdzie np postać odbija się plecami od ziemi jak od trampoliny.
    Przydało bi się więcej GORE. Coś jak w Wiedźmin 3 do którego de facto mogę porównać misje poboczne - wydają się być ciekawe na tyle, że nie ma się wrażenia, że robisz to na siłę.

    The gameplay is actually pretty fun, I was worried about getting bored with it, but even though the combat is simple, it can still go south for you very quickly and I like that.

Ghost of Tsushima is the game I waited a life time to play and thought we’d never get because there were too many samurai-esk games out already. I’ve wanted to explore feudal Japan in shiny clad armor and lerk in the grass with my straw ronin hat for a long time. I have Hokusai art all through my house if tells you anything and can never pass up a epic Japanese tale. This has been a dream of mine. And here we are in 2020 and this might mark my favorite game to date. Now that’s not for lack of it actually being a great game. If it wasn’t rewarding and fun to play, if the story, lack of hud, and wonderfully orchestrated events and combat didn’t come together so amazingly I would be ripping my controller in half from a life time of anticipation ending in disappointment but luckily my controllers are safe as this is an amazing game to play and everything I ever dreamed. It’s fun, it’s difficult at times, it’s rewarding, it’s sad, it’s a roller coast that just keeps going! My only suggestion would be to get out there and play it for yourself. Turn off the phone, shut the laptop, and get lost in an amazingly put together journey.… Expand

    Jim is a great main character, a kind and chill guy and that's actually not common in games.

Super great, but it and you won't regret it.

The gameplay does feel familiar like shadow of Mordor and assassins creed had a Samurai baby, this would be it. A must play for any ps4 gamer.

    It's exactly what I wanted: Assassin's Creed set in feudal Japan. It's escapist and it's a power fantasy - perfect for these difficult times. And unlike another recent Sony exclusive, it doesn't push some gloomy political or social justice message on the gamer - just a fun and well-polished experience with beautiful graphics and sound design.

The exploration and graphics is where the game really shines, with there always being something to do, something to craft, a person to help, a bandit camp to eradicate, etc etc. Combat is not amazing, and the side quest stories can get a little predictable, but that fits with the world. When you are tasked with finding a man's family after a Mongolian invasion, one should not be surprised to find that family already dead. All in all, this game is a must buy if you are a fan of old samurai movies, or a good old fashioned underdog revenge story.… Expand

There's the right amount of weapons and armors to keep you engaged in farming materials. And the immersion/role playing factor is also amazing. Why I am not giving this game a 10/10? Because the camera is really annoying, it's very easy to lose your enemies and sometimes trees or buildings will hide your char during combat, I hope this issue gets fixed soon.

    The Bad:
    - computer AI can be a bit predictable at times
    - Like most open world games, some NPCs can feel a bit robotic
    - Combat learning curve can be a bit steep, especially as you unlock more advanced skills

    In-depth Review:

    I've been waiting for a Samurai game like this for a long, long time. Feeling like I'm in a movie, fighting as a samurai in feudal Japan. From the moment the game begins to the opening title card, you immediately feel like you're sitting front row, directing and starring in that samurai movie.

    I LOVE what SuckerPunch developed with Ghost of Tsushima and encourage everyone to give it a try. From swordplay to archery; from main story to side quests, everything and I mean everything feels organic and developed with purpose. SuckerPunch actually drew out one of Japan's longest tradition, being one with nature, and included it in the game. Be it following Foxes to shrines, golden birds to points of interest or utilizing the wind to direct you to your next objective, nothing is gone to waste here. Even side stories, though not "essential," all contribute to the desperation the people of Tsushima feel because of the mongol invasion.

    That isn't to say things are perfect, which is why I did knock 1 point off my score. For one, NPCs can break that immersion due to their AI driven mechanics. Be it walking that pre-programmed line from point A to point B, completely forgetting I tried to raid their base a minute after raining arrows on my position, or just simply repeating the same dialog over and over until I select them, these small cracks in the pristine polish are often enough to remind you it's a game until the next scene pops up or you begin your next objective.

    Speaking of objectives, I've been dubbing each "mission" an episode in a larger running TV series because that's exactly what it feels like. Many characters have multiple "chapters" in their tale which segways from Jin's main mission; yet, they all tie together through the side characters. Not to mention all the activities such as collectables, legacy points, skill tree points, and unlocking ghost skills will easily keep you busy when you're not obsessed with Photo Mode or admiring the landscape.

    Overall, this game is a real treat. It took a similar premise like what The Last of Us Part 2 had, and did it RIGHT! It managed to show all sides of revenge, vengeance, retaliation, and the internal struggle between being brought up believing in a code of honor; and what you turn into once you let go of those morals. If The Last of Us Part 2 left an awful taste in your mouth, Ghost of Tsushima is a bottle of Sake waiting to wash that taste away. And, it tastes like of Game of the Year!    … Expand

    Story : you are playing a young still learning samurai warrior named jin sakai you are marching into battle with your samurai army to defend against the Mongols who want to invade tsushima and then japan (the mainland) after you lose the battle and a thief saves you , you understand that there is no way an honorable samurai can defeat the Mongols so you try to seek another way and so you begin your adventure

    Cons:

    - are a lot there of performance issues such as bugs clunky gameplay frame rate drops and the overall performance of the game sometimes just disappointed me

    - the way that you level up way to fast is really annoying because the game just gets easier even on hard difficulty the game was super easy for me

    - the game moves at a really slow paste in the first act to a point of me not even caring about the story at all

    - the loading of armors when you want to see how they look when upgrading them is just humiliating even making me feel as if this is a ps3 game that takes time to load things

    - there are a good amount of plot holes which made me just sit there and ask why? to many times

    - there isn’t much story in the first and the second act only in the third act they picked up the pace

    Pros:

    - the game is just too beautiful you can just sometimes walk around the map with your flute just chilling and playing music and enjoying the scenery

    - the camera mode is superb in every way and I managed to snap some awesome moments

    - the game takes a lot of elements from other open world games such as batman arkhan knight and shadow of Mordor some people say its recycling and unoriginal but I think they actually improved on those elements and made them even better in this game

    - if someone spots you while you are in stealth the whole camp won’t run at you as if they all share the same mind which is the thing, I asked from every stealth game I played

    - the loading time in this game is just nonexistent I don’t know what black magic sucker punch did but I really appreciate them for it

    - combat feels clunky at first but you get used to it and when you do you just can’t stop killing people for no reason because it’s so much fun

    - side missions are actually fun and really rewarding

    - the sheer amount of content and the size of the map will keep you busy for at least 40 to 50 hours

    all this brings me to my final score which was an 8 but after the second act I don’t know how and why but the game just gets so much better in game play and in story and just the amount of content is sometimes overwhelming but in a good way so my final score to ghost of tsushima is a 9 out of 10 I really recommend this game please do yourself a favor go and buy it because its really worth it unlike other ps4 exclusives out there *ahem* *ahem*    … Expand

Remember coming into a new town in Witcher 3 while in a Quest and 20 People runnning asking for some Urgent Side Mission you have to do? It really broke the emersion for me always to be thrown into new quest and then while i´m doing the Quest getting 3 new Quests. Its was really annoying. GoT gives you new Quests of course but none of them have immenent urgengy, "Quickly, go ther and help or everybody dies" like it had in the other games.
    The visuals are just stunning and really beautiful. The Quest are interesting. They get sometimes a bit repetitive but the game comensates that with a big variety of tackeling the Quest. You can sneak, you can do a Stand Off, you can just storm in a camp and reach havoc, the game gives you a lot of choices and freedom to acomplish your goals.    … Expand

    Short critic: Excellent game, very good gameplay, gorgeous and that clean HUD should be the new standard. Story is actually good (no strange choices made by the characters) a bit predictable but nothing damaging the game. My only complaint is that the camera gets a obstructed sometimes.

    Longer critic: So what makes this game a good open world game? Immersion. Let me compare that game to    Short critic: Excellent game, very good gameplay, gorgeous and that clean HUD should be the new standard.

    Longer critic: So what makes this game a good open world game? Immersion. Let me compare that game to the the last (released) Assassin's Creed (Odyssey). Here your HUD is pristine, empty, no compass, no augmented reality point floating telling you where to go or how many POI are close to you. Few exceptions, in combat your life, resolve and stance are shown. And when you're very close to the point you marked on the map (like less then 20m). The wind guides you where your map-marker is and it works really really well. To the point I'm considering not buying the next AC game because the HUD stays unchanged.

    Most of you have probably seen videos or pictures of this game online and I must say they rarely come close to the actual gorgeousness of the game (I played on a PS4 Pro in resolution mode with HDR turned on).

    Combats are brilliant, enemies are varied (move sets and appearances) and you need to use your different stances to defeat them. Stand off mechanic is very satisfying and gives you a real advantage in fight (if you don't mess up). I just found the enemies with lance being a bit too hard to parry. IMHO this game should be played in the hardest difficulty, it is hard but not overwhelming and forces you to use every tools you have.

    Very satisfying game, enjoyable, not too long (it took me around 50 hours to get the platinum trophy) it only needs a New Game+ mode now. If you have a PS4 and like open world game, this is a must buy. If you're on PC well let's hope Sony releases it at some point (like Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding) because they really should (especially this close to the next gen release).    … Expand

    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.
