    Gameplay - 9/10 (stels - 9/10, fights - 8/10, bosses - 10/10, open world - 8/10), realism - 8/10, both (gameplay & realism) - 10/10. Graphics are beautiful in motion, but not perfect (9/10). Story - 9/10. Characters are interesting and realistic. Well... game is not perfect, but for Tenchu fans (like me) it is GOTY so far.
    Game - 9/10. Not less.

The story keeps you going and never gotten bored . The customization it's pretty good and when you unlock more skills the game literally gets better and better

    Ghosts of Tsushima is one of the best open world games to release in a long time. It is a fresh new take at the genre with a compelling narrative, addictive gameplay, and stunning visuals. It was so refreshing to play a game that told a story that was PURE story, fiction at it's best!

    The best samurai game I've played. Not to mention that this game is more "assassin's creed" than any of the recent assassin's creed games lol. The world, the art style is simply breathtaking. The combat is so realistic and bloody. And the stealth is equally satisfying. In IGN's words - "Really makes you feel like a samurai in feudal japan"

    The paid shills are whining and review bombing this game because a western game company created it and it comes at the time when the shills were trying to hype up a turd (LoU2) and GoT is positioned to become the game of the year with ease. This game is rich in Japanese history, which honors the Japanese. After playing several days now, I feel great. It is an exciting game, with masterfully drawn graphics. This game hit LEGENDARY status in Japan after being released a few hours few hours. So the SJWs masquerading as gamer critics are just trying to steal the thunder from the greatest game of the DECADE. The intuitive controls makes beginners look like samurai masters. The story doesn't force political narratives and cartoonishly manly women in your face. This game has grit, honesty and is overall blast to play. Anyone giving this less than 10 isn't a gamer (probably an SJW upset over this games popularity attempting to review bomb a far superior game) or is a paid shill still trying to hype the depressing TLOU2. Unlike TLOU2, this game has excitement and action in the believable and historical accounts that make up the story. No tranny simulators here, just a sword and a man and hours of excitement.    … Expand

    The games style is really amazing, the beauty of Tsushima that goes beyond just the graphics, and its cinematic style is just .... stylish.
    This game delivers on "be a Samurai" ... god d*mmit this game delivers that with full marks, you can how ever choose to go around shinobi style but that is (except in some missions) optional. Dont go around thinking this is a ninja game because it is first a Samurai experience and a Ninja game in fifth.
    The story is above passible, it drives you forward but i could empathize with most NPC's and Jin.
    The biggest criticism about this game for me is the asynchronous japanese voice track, it is a western production but still i feel disappointed in its terrible synchronization even though the voice acting is the typical high quality that one would expect from japanese voice actors.
    Overall for anyone seeking some little advice, do some of the first missions where you get assassination and the bow, after that you can really start enjoying the world as the options just open up properly at that point.
    And that is something i really dont like in open world games when normal things like shops and collectibles(in this one neither are luckily) are behind story missions but you can already explore the world... the assassination i get, but the bow... really?... and armor REALLY?
    The game is in some areas definitely not as polished as other open worlds like rdr2, rdr2s animations were polished af if you dont provoke it, but Ghost has no dynamic walking animations for slopes and such its always the animation for horizontal movement, for an exclusive that was in the works for 5+ years that is a bit weak, BUT that is nitpicking for a FANTASTIC game experience.
    Still i wish for some adjustment for the japanese voice tracks, they them selves are awesome but asynchronousness of them are just brutal ;(    … Expand

    For this game I don't think even a 10/10 would justify how enjoyable it is. No it's not a perfect game - especially stealth game play felt unpolished and clunky. That's precisely I'm giving it a 9/10 but the entertainment value is so much higher than any 10/10 game you can name, including that TLOU2 crap. Get this game, Seriously!

    Do not go into this expecting a Sekiro like combat system. Yes there is parrying but not even close to what Sekiro did. And that is not a bad thing. GoT took a complete different route and it is the most rewarding combat system I have felt in years. It feels like a movie is playing out everytime I fight a mob of 10 people. It is fluid, responsive, beautiful, and precise. There isn't a combat system that I can even compare it to.

    I struggle with pushing through open world games. I get bored halfway through and have to push to just beeline through the main story. Well, Not with GoT. I am close to unlocking everything and I STILL don't want it to end. I wish like hell that there was an NG+ mode.

    I hate when I see people say this is the "Samurai Assassins Creed". Please shut up with that blasphemy. Assassins creed WISHES it could be like Ghost of Tsushima.

    This game is fantastic had to wait a day and a half to get playing it my son wasn't giving it back till he completed it. It's very addictive and beautiful to watch game play is great. Not as good as rdr2 but not far of it. Highly recommend it. 8.5

    Great atmosphere, characters and storytelling. Graphics that both can look next gen and last gen. Fun gameplay and fighting mechanics, but a bit clunky and glitchy at times. Without doubt one of the better and most special games this gen, but not on a level with the best games this gen like TLOU Part 2, TW3 or RDR2, but more comparable to something like Spider-Man, Days Gone or Horizon Zero Dawn.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful, vibrant game with great gameplay and a pretty decent story, and a great sendoff for the PS4 generation.

    If we're talking about beautiful games, then Ghost of Tsushima is up there with the best. The game doesn't have the best "graphics" I've ever seen but the visual presentation and the look of the open world is really good, mind-blowing at points. I think the soundtrack is also very fitting, really gives the samurai/Japanese vibe. This isn't the biggest open-world that has been presented but it doesn't need to, because getting the platinum for this game was so fun and I never got bored. It doesn't surprise me anymore how many people have platinumed this game.

    One of the best parts of the game and the reason why it has such a high completion rate is fun and well crafted gameplay. While you play through the game you will unlock different things to keep the gameplay such as combat and platforming fresh and fun. In combat you will unlock different stances and each stance is good against one specific enemy type. You will also unlock different "ghost" weapons such as kunai knifes, smoke bombs and sticky bombs. You will also get a bow that can shoot normal and fire arrows. That is how this game succeeds, while you progress the gameplay slightly changes and keeps things fresh. Platforming is also a part of the gameplay but compared to the combat it's very minor and it's very simple to climb. The open world is filled with things to do, maybe not RDR2 levels of things to do, but enough. There are of course main quests and side quests, but there are also shrines you can climb, foxes you can follow to shrines and you can even perform haikous and more, which will net you different items respectively. The only bad thing I can say about the gameplay is that in combat the camera can be absolutely horrible. Especially while fighting inside a house or a tent or any enclosed space. Fighting outside is much better but can also sometimes have camera problems.

    The story is pretty good for the most part, the overall main quest had me immersed into the world. The side quests are also for the most part very good and give better insight to the people that live on the island of Tsushima. The story revolves around the samurai Jin Sakai, who is the main protagonist of the game. It follows his path of trying to save his island from a Mongol invasion. This requires him to forge a new path, the way of the ghost. I won't go into more details because of spoilers, but most of the story is pretty solid, and the characters and dialogue are very well written. The only thing I didn't like was that I felt that the ending didn't feel complete. The ending had a great moment so it's not all bad, but I thought the ending felt a little short and could have been much more expanded upon.

    To sum up, Ghost of Tsushima is a great game that has great gameplay and a solid story. The game never got boring, and for a main story that is about 20 hours and maybe 20 hours additional to platinum that's a long time to keep a game fresh, but Sucker Punch succeeded. I recommend everyone that owns a PS4 or even a PS5 to get this game, I was never really into samurai games but this game really is an exception.

    What a amazing game! The artistic depiction of the environment, music and heritage is a amazing world to get lost in. I love the fighting mechanics along with how graphically violent it is. You go from a peaceful beautiful environment to a bloody battle to the death. Also one of the best things about this game is it’s not drowned with SJW politics and virtue signaling! Thank god!

    Ghost of Tsushima is, in my opinion and many others', the game that has provided light for 2020. I was expecting a great game knowing the company behind it, as well as it being a Sony exclusive, but not to this level. Not to go too far in-depth, every inch of the island you explore is thoughtfully detailed, and moves in a way no other game's open world does. What I mean by that is everyGhost of Tsushima is, in my opinion and many others', the game that has provided light for 2020. I was expecting a great game knowing the company behind it, as well as it being a Sony exclusive, but not to this level. Not to go too far in-depth, every inch of the island you explore is thoughtfully detailed, and moves in a way no other game's open world does. What I mean by that is every blade of grass you see, or petals falling from the cherry blossom trees, is moving cohesively with one another. This, as well as the fact the game runs in smooth 30 FPS 4K on PS4 Pro, makes for a journey unlike any other. No area (Examples: a pagoda, a riverbank, or even a wheat farm) feels lifeless, and exploring these areas never falls flat or becomes repetitive. Now, moving onto story, Sucker Punch also nailed this element on the mark. Instead of having generic Side-Quests like generic open world titles, GoT manages to craft each side quest in a way that it pairs perfectly, or even is a part of the main quest entirely. Even the "filler" quests in the game handed out from random NPC's also have a purpose, whether it's for future story dialogue or for new character connections. The combat can be praised just as much, taking slight amount of elements from Sekiro, and other action RPG's. Once again though, the combat in the game doesn't feel like a straight rip-off, because Sucker Punch found ways to include a stance system, as well as provide a chain/combo system to allow for moderate difficulty, yet not being impossible to master completely. I think I've gone on enough, but there's really nothing negative except for a couple bugs so far. None are close to groundbreaking, so my score is still going to remain a perfect 10/10. If you have a PS4, do not let this game slide past you. It's a masterpiece through and through!… 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.
