    La mappa ha svariate sfaccettature tutte diverse, è la prima volta che occupo più di 3gb di spazio per le foto e le cinematiche che ho realizzato, per chi ama la cultura giapponese e ne apprezza i paesaggi questo gioco è un must.

Se tutto ciò non bastasse ad accostarsi alla mappa c'è il combat system, curato in tantissimi dettagli che lo rendono appagante , per esempio le 4 forme da usare contro i nemici possono essere mischiate anche con gli strumenti per creare delle final kill fuori dal comune senza bisogno delle skill che si apprendono con le missioni(per skill intendo delle mosse che consumano la determinazione, ovvero la contro parte del mana per le magie che specifico non sono presenti, per dare vita a mosse finali incredibili, inoltre il sistema di parata e schivata sono perfetti e rendono giustizia alla leggenda dei samurai. La fase stealth l ho apprezzata soprattutto quando ben eseguita, infatti è bellissimo sbarazzarsi di 5 nemici in un attimo, questo è possibile solo grazie al parkour molto simile a quello di Assassin's Creed, con l aggiunta di un rampino alla Syndacate. Posso criticare sono la monotonia degli assassinii a catena, i quali hanno sempre la stessa animazione. L'esplorazione è uno dei punti cardini di questo gioco come ho scritto sopra, la mappa presenta tantissime aree diverse e fotogeniche che sono cosparse di innumerevoli punti di interesse divisi in 6 categorie più alcune speciali:si possono infatti onorare i santuari delle volpi, dei kami, tagliare il bambù, riflettere nelle sorgenti termali, comporre degli haiku e trovare oggetti di estetica nelle tombe dei guerrieri caduti (tutte queste attività si ripercuotono sottoforma di potenziamento). A questo proposito voglio soffermarmi sulla personalizzazione che all'inizio del gioco può non risultare gran ché, ma che da il massimo verso l'endgame, momento in cui si dà per scontato che tu abbia molte risorse. Per il comparto tecnico e grafico vi invito a vedere con i vostri occhi ciò che questo gioco ha da offrire, posso dirvi che il dettaglio che più mi ha colpito è quello dei particellari, ovvero le foglie che cadono dall'alto, queste foglie sono fisiche, ciò vuol dire che al contatto con il suolo diventeranno parte di mappa e che la stessa foglia se mossa dalla scia di vento del cavallo si risolleverà e fluttuerà fino a ricadere, e se la foglia cadesse in acqua rimarrebbe a galla e inizierà a muoversi lentamente come nella realtà. Ora, non è che dovete acquistare il gioco per le foglie, però quello delle foglie è l'esempio di quanto questo gioco sia curato nei minimi dettagli, non al pari di rdr2, ma che se messo in una scala dove rdr2 è 10, GoT lo seguirebbe con un 8,8. La storia ci racconta le vicende di Jin Sakai nella liberazione di Tsushima, ciò può risultare monotono ma se giocato bene vi terrà attaccati allo schermo per ore. P.s. io l'esperienza del completamento del gioco la paragono a un piatto di carbonara, dove tutti i vari punti di interesse vengono paragonati a dei pezzettini di guanciale in mezzo alla pasta, se questi vengono mangiati insieme possono dare un sapore, se lasciati per ultimi ne danno un altro, io consiglio di dirigersi da una missione all'altra a cavallo laddove il pezzo di mappa che separa te dalla missione fosse inesplorato e di non andare dritti alla quest' ma di completare i punti di interesse che si troveranno durante il cammino. La recensione finisce quí, buona giocata Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muy buen juego con personajes memorables que no se quedan en las dos dimensiones con una historia triste con buenos momentos que mientras avanzas se oscurece más, un divertido estilo de jugabilidad y un mapa más que diverso en las regiones haciendo un bonito mapa. En los enemigos se haya unos con diferentes estilos marcados por el estilo de combate del protagonista. Lo que podríamos decir que faltó son la variación de animales pero como el juego no está enfocado en cazar animales se le puede perdonar. Finalmente los objetos coleccionables están bien separadas y puestas en lugares hermosos del juego y fácil de encontrar si te pones a explorar el juego, como dije antes las misiones de la historia principal pasan de menos profundas a más haciendo que quieras ver que pasará después, las secundarias a menos que no se trate de un personaje principal no son tan memorables y llegan hacer algunas repetitivas aun así se disfruta al darte peleas y para mi los relatos míticos son la mayor razón para explorar ya que obtener esas armas, armaduras y técnicas míticas es una gran satisfacción a la hora de mejorar a Jin.

The fighting mechanics aren't the best you'll ever see, but the variety of moves, abilities, skills and fighting styles you learn are unmatched. The story is amazing and unless you weren't following it, you will be emotional at a lot of moments. You can EASILY get lost in the world with what feels like endless things to do. The game focuses on how YOU play, stealthy; swords-swinging; etc. The customization isn't bad by any means, with most pieces of armor and clothing dealing different abilities and skills to assist you in your playstyle and how you travel across the terrain.
    The game is easily an 8 for most players, but to stand up to a lot of open world games such as RDR2, GTA, Batman Arkham and others, its truly a masterpiece in itself and deserves no less than an 8.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having read some of the reviews and now beaten the game I fond myself wondering if I truly played the same game as everyone bombing this with zero as a score. I'll address this in a series of points:

    - Combat: The combat variety in the game is simply outstanding. 4 different sword stances are available (albeit you have to earn them, and this can be done easily within the first region). Each one provides for benefits and drawbacks against specific weapon types. It creates for a more dynamic combat system as opposed to raw button mashing like some of the negative reviews (and places like The Verge and others) would suggest. There are so many approaches to any individual fight whether it be the siege against Castle Shimura/Maneda or the many scattered Mongol camps.

    -Characters: I don't know what some people are smoking, but the character development in this game was superb. From the evolution of Kenji from a greedy drunk turned siege master ally, or Norio from a reserved warrior Monk to a revered guardian of the masses, or or the main character himself, Jin Sakai, from an honorable samurai forced to defend his homeland with any means necessary by abandoning his samurai honor code. Some of these reviews have said stuff along the lines of "the game seems to FORCE you to play as the Ghost" and that "well we want to play as honorable samurai and we don't have the option." That is not the point of the game. The point is that Jin is abandoning his honor code in order to save his home...he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this goal of killing the Khan and driving the Mongols away...including vile and cruel methods of warfare. He even addresses his own flaws throughout the game, and if people missed this then that's on them.

    -World: The game world was fantastically put together. Gotta lvoe seeing reviews that give a low score (cough cough game journalists) because it is an open world game when they explicitly state in their review that they are not a fan of open world games. Rest assured, the world is masterfully crafted. The setting is gorgeous, and the graphics alone are a fantastic way to wrap up what is effectively the end of the PS4 era.

    -Story: I cannot put into words how amazing I felt the story was. Simply put, play it for yourself and experience it, because it is just that: an experience like none other.

    Don't let negative reviews draw you down. There is a reason the average score from users is as high as it is. Considering that there isn't much competition this year, I'd say that Ghost of Tsushima is almost a guaranteed lock for game of the year. It is not only one of the best exclusives that PS4 has to offer, but, in my humble opinion, one of the best exclusives that a PlayStation console has ever seen...and easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time.

    6.very few little bugs , not even worth mentioning
    7.actual feeling of a samurai in lovely japan
    8.soundtracks amazing
    9. i mean hell this studio is Perfect

    Coming from an all around weeb, this game is amazing. In recent times the Japanese media and eastern media has done a very well job at making it in the western culture. Anime is on the rise like never before, friends of mine that have never heard of anime are getting into it to see what all the hype is about. And the friends that had or do watch anime are getting into manga and the such. IComing from an all around weeb, this game is amazing. In recent times the Japanese media and eastern media has done a very well job at making it in the western culture. Anime is on the rise like never before, friends of mine that have never heard of anime are getting into it to see what all the hype is about. And the friends that had or do watch anime are getting into manga and the such. I remember discovering anime when I was in the third grade and after watching so many ninja and samurai shows and thinking, “Man, I really wish there was a game I could play that kinda has stuff like this.” But at the time, there weren’t. Ghost of Tsushima has given me what I’ve wanted for so many years. Not all the flashy stuff with spells and jutsus like naruto or bleach, but a more simplistic down to earth experience that I could wrap my head around. A samurai in japan based on an era in which enemies are invading your home and you throw everything you have to drive them away, even at the cost of your honor and the lives of those you love, **** epic. Being a weeb heightened my want for something that I could call a Japanese experience, and this gane delivered. Objectively this game is also very fun, while the only downside for me is that some missions might get repetitive from time to time. The combat is fun and interactive having to doge arrows, attempting perfect parry’s and dodges. The story is entertaining and not at all boring. The open world is fun and immersive. And to top it all off, the game is absolutely stunning to the eyes, seriously I highly recommend the game. Expand

This was an absolutely magnificent game. From start to finish, it is jaw dropping. The story is amazing and the scenery is beyond gorgeous. The colors used in this game are incredible. I played it on my PS4 Pro with a 4K UHD Samsung TV and my goodness it didn’t disappoint. I did everything the game had to offer and spent probably around 50-60 hours in game. Each time I sat down for a session the game just continued to provide jaw dropping moments and graphics. The music was also another one of my favorites. It was just all around wonderful. This is also coming from an Xbox person who will be getting a Series X at launch. I can only dream one day Xbox could make such a remarkable first party game as this. It will be a tragedy if this game doesn’t win game of the year. I played and beat LOU2 as well, but this game imo is better in almost every regard. It’s a shame there are not more games like this out there. This is what Assassins Creed dreams to be and maybe one day it might, but for now Ghost of Tsushima is in a class that it only shares with GoW. If you’re looking to close the current console chapter out, do so by playing this game, you won’t regret it. It was the icing on the cake and a beautiful way to send PlayStation 4, off into the sunset. I’m almost positive if you appreciate games this one will not disappoint. It makes my top 5 current gen games of all-time! Hats off to Sucker Punch and bravo. An instant classic and should be loved by many. Cheers! Expand

    #PLATINUM #GhostofTsushima SPOILER FREE REVIEW Ive not enjoyed a game this much since Horizon Zero dawn and witcher 3 wilf hunt

    Ghost of Tsushima is visually beautiful, extremely well researched and written, and keeps you hooked as the story progresses. It just gets better and better the longer you play.

    The narrative is compelling and interesting, the side quests are equally interesting unlike so many games with repetitive, tiresome quests just to keep the player busy. The fighting is very satisfying and ever evolving so it never turns stagnant and becomes repetitive. The island of Tsushima is vast and beautifully diverse with lots of open world exploring to be done. There's lots of hidden little things, for example, following the yellow birds to find hidden points of interest/items there's so much for the player to do and not to mention the deep dive into ancient Japanese culture. The art of the Haiku, honour and the battle between what was taught and what needs to be done in the face if overwhelming force. Ghost of Tsushima has a great photo mode to capture the stunning beauty of the Island. I love this game, it has blown me away and exceeded my expectations. Thanks Sucker Punch you made something great. 10/10 game and highly deserving and recommended

This game is way better than a boring generic AC. graphics are not amazing as they first appeared in the commercials but still very good. Storytelling is nice. The environment is excellent, you really feel like a samurai in the Japanese middle age. The gameplay is very nice too, a bit disturbing at the beginning with the camera which is slightly different than usual, but within the game, we adapt. The soundtrack is perfect, the Japanese voices are great. The custom of the main character is really cool too. There aren't massive issues. Annexe quests are a bit repetitive at some point. I was a bit disappointed with certain other aspects like when there is body on the floor, your feet pass trough it like nothing, you are not on the body, you are in the body, problem is that it happens 100% of the time like they didn't pay attention to that. Or when you throw an arrow on something like a tree or whatever, you're never going to fund it stick into something, it just disappears. Another thing is that you pass literally trough every bamboo forest like if there isn't anything, impossible to cut the bamboo with your katana or anything.
    Small thing but it breaks a bit the immersion and makes the game unperfect, it is those tiny things that make the difference between a really good game and a masterclass.

The lack of an always visible HUD, especially in an open-world game, is so refreshing. The minimalistic view with the HUD, minimap, and missions are quite unlike other open-world staples. The story is realistic as well as the fact that it is based on a real-life event (the invasion of Japan by the Mongols, not the actual Ghost of Tsushima). The story also ends beautifully,(no spoilers), and it brought me to tears no matter how many times I've seen it.

    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.
