    All around a solid and well created game. My biggest complaint is the combat, it doesn’t feel as epic as some other games in the genre, still satisfying, just not the best. Otherwise, the game has a solid story, solid progression, beautiful environment etc. definitely worth buying.

    The game is fantastic, although I didn't really like the combat system in which we were unable to mark the enemy.
    The map is quite large and has a lot to do. The coolest thing is that it doesn't get boring. The graphic, the landscapes employ.

    Awesome feeling, good story, voice acting and gameplay (fights, items, etc...). One of the best game in this year. I very very recommend this game! And the epilogue is perfect and artistic! For me, only one thing really missing: the Juna romance :)

    Beautiful world, engaging combat and captivating story. The game is really good and hits the right spots for someone like me who really loves Samurai and all things Japan, the nod to Samurai Cinema can be seen throughout the game with it's story telling and the 1v1 combat the player gets to take part multiple times.

    Haven't finished the game yet 100% yet, but the open world is and the combat are really well done. Breathtaking in many moments during my playthrough. Really one of the best surprises in the year for me.

The falling of leaves, petals etc make this a magical world akin to something from a Studio Ghibli film. Equal parts Journey, Bushido Blade and Tenchu this is a game that has been constructed to please the people who forked out for it. Comparing it to TLOU2 is unfair to Naughty Dog because GoT blows it away. I dont know why anyone would choose TLOU2's edgelord nihilism over the magic of GoT - a game whose creators went out of their way to make enjoyable. Also comparisons to Assassins Creed persist but speaking as a fan of AC since the first one (though not so much recently) I am not throwing the games under the bus when I say that AC has never been this good. Not even close. Jin Sakai is a great MC who veers away from the preaching that has become commonplace in Western games and proves that gamers do not need forced MCs who mirror them at the threat of twitter mob outrage. There could be a case made that it is not as long as some other open world games but I would counter that there is no extraneous flab in GoT. Just classy, relevant substance. Its side missions serve a purpose, add to the plot and build the world Jin is trying to save. The add fuel to Jin's desire to save it at all costs. It is so refreshing to have side missions that serve a purpose and aren't just 'Deliver this persons frying pan'. It is a game that makes you care about its casts philosophies without badgering you with encyclopedias on why you're supposed to care (a la Death Stranding). Its world is magical and you want to protect it as much as Jin does. It isnt an exercise in making you feel like crap like TLOU2. It captures the essence of nature and play (which in reality are intertwined anyway). Ghost of Tsushima is a strong contender for Game of the Year and it would take something godlike to deny it.… Expand

I would give it a 10 but I think the some things could use a slight improvement. EX: the controls are overly complicated and though they try to simplify it, its hard to memorize all of the commands meaning your bound to make an error in a fight. I also feel like the auto save feature needs more work; there are times where you'll auto save every few minutes and then there are times where it'll be like 20 minutes since your last auto-save meaning you'll have to manually save as much as possible. Another issue is the sneaking aspect, the enemies can see you from a mile away and it does get sort of agitating when you're doing sneaking missions. another thing that the game does is that it tries and fails to be infamous, the choice mechanic does not really factor into how people perceive you in the game, as a matter of fact, there are points where doing something that a samurai would deem dishonorable is mandatory so it skews the line between what is morally right and wrong.… Expand

    There are multiple brilliant design choices (guiding wind, no unnecessary animations or things that would reduce the game flow) and the whole game is designed to fit the theme of being a samurai. I‘ve never been frustrated while playing GoT (looking at you, RDR2, with your cool animations that get boring when they sum up to be hours of the actual gameplay and all the annoying stuff relating to riding a horse – by the way RDR2 is still one of the greatest games of this gen, nonetheless).

    Usually this game would be a 9/10 but it deserves 10/10 points for multiple reasons:
    – Having the most beautiful open world I‘ve ever seen
    – the best and most satisfying sword combat system in all the games I‘ve ever played
    – brilliant design choices that contribute to a fantastic experience
    – best photo mode & quickest quick travel ever
    And what surprised me the most:
    – The best quest and exploration system of all open world games, build around a decent story. It's literally the first time I've focused more on side quests than on main quests. In other games, doing side missions or exploring the world before completing the campaign disrupts the narrative experience. In Ghost of Tsushima, all quests are very harmonic. And the Mythic Tales are my favorite side quests of all time.

    If you want you can do some nitpicking, so here are the minor aspects with potential for improvement:
    – cutscene transition
    – enemy AI
    – lip sync (only relevant for english language)
    – storytelling could be more emotional (probably the biggest potential for improvement)
    – camera handling (lack of lock-on is not the issue, I'd say it's better this way, but sometimes you just see a wall instead of your fight and the sensitivity should be higher)

    Purchase recommended?
    Whoever is interested in or likes the setting or samurai in general, will love this sublime open world game!

    I break my reviews down into six categories and score them as such:

    - Gameplay: 9/10
    - Score: 9/10
    - Aesthetics: 10/10
    - Graphics: 10/10
    - Voice Acting: 8/10
    - Story: 9/10

    Overall this comes to a 9/10 for me, would probably be 93 for me on a 100pt scale.

    Gameplay: The gameplay in GoT is fantastic, I played on the hardest difficulty and the reason I chose to do so was I wanted to really get into the combat in this game. The combat loop is focused on two distinct areas, Ghost (stealth) and Samurai and the way the game blends these two forms into the story and themes is great (more on that in the story section). Overall Samurai combat in this game is stellar, it's everything you could ask for with combat requiring quick thinking and good timing. Stealth gameplay is a little... I'd say underbaked or too easy. If the goal was to direct players towards Stealthing (which it might've been given the themes), then SuckerPunch definitely created a combat system that heavily favors stealth of Sword fighting.

    Score: The score is sparse when it needs to be and powerful when you want it to be. Oftentimes I found myself riding through an amazing looking environment and wondering "man where's the score" then I'd crest a hill, see something in the distance and all of a sudden flutes and drums start crashing in, created some really amazing and emotional moments. The points where they bring in vocals are really executed well, and the score is incredibly authentic and immersive for the setting.

    Aesthetics and Graphics: Usually I set these apart but I mean come on, google this game and tell me it isn't one of the most beautiful games ever released. The game touted a "Kurosawa Mode" as a selling point but honestly, robbing yourself of the colours in this game would be a travesty. I honestly can't understate how many times this game's environments blew me away, the entire colour spectrum is used to amazing effect, truly a masterpiece in this regard.

    Voice Acting and Story: For this game I chose to use the English voice tracks, usually I'd be fine with the Japanese track however the lip sync is in English no matter which language you play. This won't be an issue for most people but I happen to be partially deaf and when listening to people speak, lips not matching the dialogue throws me way off. So English cast it is, and even then I have to say its extremely impressive what this cast is able to do. Across the board every actor does a great job at being a believable and grounded character. There can be a tendancy in games to go "larger than life" with the characters but here they're very well acted and extremely immersive. Goes to show that even though the game is set in feudal Japan, the fact everyone was speaking English was not immersion breaking for me in the slightest.

    Story-wise the game is an interesting case; I won't get too into the weeds of what did and didn't work but I will summurise as this; the main story itself is actually fairly sparse, though often times it's incredibly high quality and well crafted. I believe there's something like 18-20 main missions, compared to around 65+ side missions and content. What this means is the pacing of the narrative is largely player dependant and so your feelings on things may vary. SuckerPunch did a LOT of work on continuity, and that is extremely appreciated. As missions are optional and can be completed at almost any time, there are many contextual lines that reflect where you are in the main story (i.e. if I did mission X before a side quest, they may refer to the upcoming Mission X. If I did the side quest after Mission X, the characters might refer to the events of Mission X in past tense, this is really awesome).

    Summary: Overall, an achievement in world design and environment art. As we move into the next generation of games there is a case to be made for artistic expression over realism, and while some studios like Naughty Dog will assuredly continue in their endeavor to make games look and play more realistically, I am happy there are other studios out there like SuckerPunch who are willing to take liberties and just make amazing experiences.

It was intriguing to see the main character change his values and the internal conflict he has with this change to save his home.
    The open world of the island of Tsushima has many things to do with plentiful side quests and activities that are beneficial for your playthrough. One of my favourite parts are the samurai duels that you will encounter throughout the story, they feel badass and can be challenging on the harder difficulty. I also enjoyed the legendary tales which would reward you with badass weapons or abilities. Additionally, the tales of the important side characters were great to playthrough as well, as it added more emotional depth to the characters.
    The only complaint I had with the game is that the enemy AI are dumb, especially in stealth. The detection meter is unrealistically slow and it sometimes broke the immersion for me. Sometimes I felt the game is best enjoyed attacking the enemies head-on rather than using the stealth approach and the missions that required to do stealth can feel really slow.
    Despite that, GOT is another PS4 exclusive that is a must have and has game of the year potential. Definitely going in my top 5 for open-world games.    … Expand

    Игра шедевральна, Всем.

Начиная с сюжета, где в угоду исторической справедливости отсутствует социальная (впрочем, как и во всей игре) и заканчивая графикой и атмосферой средневековой Японии и острова Цусимы. Боевка это лучшее, что есть на данный момент в подобных играх, и дело не только в механике боев, которая является квинтэссенцией лучших элементов из систем типа "удар-мощный удар-блок-уворот" доведенной до совершенства, но и антуражем, в частности звуком, анимацией, применением различных стилей (они здесь реально работают и необходимы!) - в итоге каждый удар катаной ощущается прямо-таки физически. Стелс есть, он интересен за счет того, что быстр, ненапряжен и является по сути дополнением к бою лицом к лицу. ОТдельное спасибо Sucker Punch за систему сбора ресурсов - Дзин умеет их собирать на бегу и на скаку, не останавливаясь и не тратя время игрока на ненужную анимацию. Прокачка, по крайней мере на высоком уровне сложности, необходима, способности продуманы и среди них нет ненужных (ну кроме наверное помогающих находить различные места интереса на карте).
    И вишенькой ко всему этому геймплейному великолепию - сюжет и атмосфера игры. Сюжет про то, чем готов поступится человек для достижения важной для него цели, про честь и доблесть, без всяких повесточек.
    Атмосфера... Это первая игра в открытом мире, где мне хочется передвигаться пешком, любуясь пейзажами, встречая по пути какие-то интересные места и события. При чем все это работает на максимальное соответствие месту и времени, что способствует максимальному погружению в игру. Кстати, разработчики выполнили обещание, и в игре нет однотипных и набивших оскомину сайдквестов - каждый проработан отдельно и имеет свою сюжетную арку. Особенно приятно, что даже захват аванпостов обыгран в духе "случайно кого-то спас, он рассказал, что там-то есть монгольский лагерь, в котором плохие монголы как-то (за 20 часов игры всегда по разному) гадят местным".
    Из минусов отмечу только камеру а-ля Dark Souls и невменяемый таргетлок (да он здесь есть, но настолько не очевидный, что лучше бы его вообще не было, ибо о его существовании игра тебе напоминает только тогда, когда ты хочешь бить ближайшего противника, а перс лочится на чувака вообще в другой стороне).
    Короче, я в восторге, чего давно не было, тем более от Сони-эксклюзивов, надо брать!    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima accomplished what they set out to do, in creating a aesthetically gorgeous game and really capturing an essence of what it could of felt like to be a samurai, to a degree. I truly love the game and is in my top 10, but it's the stubborn history buff in me that is holding me back from giving it a perfect score.( atleast have jin use a tachi instead of a katana lol).

    This is a great game that brings enough of its own identity to many of the, admittedly familiar, core aspects. A handful of few minor drawbacks mean that my score would more accurately be a 8.5.

    Graphics The good: Stunning artistic style combined with fantastic scenery and great lighting, including beautiful variety in the day night cycle. Possibly the best photo mode I've used.    This is a great game that brings enough of its own identity to many of the, admittedly familiar, core aspects. A handful of few minor drawbacks mean that my score would more accurately be a 8.5.

    Graphics

    The good: Stunning artistic style combined with fantastic scenery and great lighting, including beautiful variety in the day night cycle. Possibly the best photo mode I've used.

    The bad: They are a handful of poor textures here and there, rocky surfaces in particular. The game works best when you're surrounded by grass, trees and foliage. My main gripe is when looking at things in the distance, usually from a vantage point. It's doesn't happen too often but sometimes land in the distance looks very flat and one tone, with almost no detail. It really sticks out. For example a yellow field of flowers, from up on high, looks like a bland brushstroke of paint.

    Sound

    The good: Excellent sound effects and a great, authentic sounding soundtrack.

    The bad: There's some lip-syncing that's off if you use the Japanese VO.

    Combat gameplay

    The good: I was worried that the combat would feel like W3 or the recent two AC games but I was very happy to find they've given combat it's own feel. Combat is quick and brutal. It's somewhat like a much easier version of Sekiro, with you and your enemies doing a lot of damage but with a 'guard' bar to break down first, unless you strike directly after a dodge, in which case you can usually get one hit in.

    Another bonus is that there are quite a few tools to use (Kunai, stun bombs etc) that allow you to express yourself in a greater variety of ways.

    Stealth works well but is like many other games in that respect, although it should be noted that they've given the player a lot more room for how they move around areas. In addition to the usual 'tall grass, walls and boxes' you've got many ways of climbing over and through buildings, along with crawling under them and popping out through trapdoors, squeezing through gaps and entering through small hatches.

    There's a large amount of skills to choose from, so there's several different playstyles to choose from.

    The bad: Even on hard, the game's just too easy. Apart from the initial learning curve and times I wandered into strong camps early on, there wasn't too much difficulty once I was used to the systems. As you progress and gain levels and equipment, it just gets even easier. It's a shame because I can see plenty of room to make it harder without needing to come close to Sekiro levels. Stealth in particular is overpowered, with enemies giving you plenty of leeway in terms of when they spot you.

    The camera doesn't always play nice either. It doesn't happen too often and it's mainly in smaller areas and when you're fighting more than 2 enemies that it can be a nuisance.

    Other gameplay: Though the map isn't huge like AC Odyssey or Witcher 3, there's plenty to do and, as is usual, lots of collectibles - though almost all of them enhance your character in some way so it's much more satisfying to find them. Activities include scenery traversal and a button sequence mini-game. Side-quests often have little stories that make them feel natural and most are quite entertaining and help flesh out the protagonist's personality and, indeed, that of the game itself.

    So yeah, I'm really enjoying this game and hope that perhaps they'll patch in another difficulty setting or some kind of mode that makes things more deadly.

    There are lots of quality of life elements too. You can collect things while racing past them, whether on foot or galloping by on your horse. No need to dismount and hold a button while a little time-bar fills up.

    Fast travel is plentiful, though I often just rode wherever I needed to go in order to soak in the atmosphere. I appreciated the waypoint system too, left the screen less cluttered and it looked beautiful.    … Expand

    This game is probably the most fun I've had in an exploration game since Shadow of The colossus back on the ps2.
    The environment is simply breathtaking and pulls you in to a point where you want to go sightseeing. The lack of quest markers is one of my favourite things to be honest, you don't realise how much UI makes a game feel like a satnav. Ghost of Tsushima does the opposite and says    This game is probably the most fun I've had in an exploration game since Shadow of The colossus back on the ps2.

Ghost of Tsushima does the opposite and says "hey, look at the wind. Maybe you should follow that fox"

    The combat is solid, it's fun and tight, all be it a little repetitive but it's broken up by stealth sections, stand offs, duels and all out battles so you never feel burned out before the next battle begins.

    The only issues I've had so far are very minor, random tutorials in the late game and bad lip syncing for the Japanese dub, nothing major but sometimes breaks the immersion. Lastly it would be the fact that it's PlayStation exclusive. This wouldn't be a problem for me as I've used PlayStation for over ten years, however a recent dispute with Sony over their terms of service cost me that account and all my previous games. Still, Ghost of Tsushima is fantastic and is probably the closest to an action samurai game there ever will be. Or a tour of ancient Japan for that matter    … Expand

The world may not be as “alive” as RDR2 but being in this world I’m so immersed. My take on the story:
    The story i found very cool! It’s a very cut and dry (no pun intended) samurai story, but boy does is this story told well. The side quest literally are so well told that they are mixed into the main story. Without spoiling it, the story is very cool and fun to get through.

    My take on the combat:
    The combat I find to be very dynamic which I think is a must. Pretty much every single fight is a cinematic masterpiece there’s always something in a fight that will make you feel “awesome” afterwards. There’s duels in this game that send chills down your spine when you see jin (the main character) push his sword out of his sheath right before the fight begins! Then upgrade system is super fun! 4 different stances, 20 plus moves you can unlock, a bunch of special stealth and combat gadgets to unlock! All in all I’m gonna give it a 9/10 I don’t remember a game that made me feel so epic when playing it... I think the last game I felt that way was sekiro! This game is fun, immersive, dynamic, and beautiful! Get it. Play it. Love it.    … Expand

    The Graphics is for me a 9/10. The Game works with Insane Good Lightings and a gives the Game a Very Very Good Looking when ur Riding ur Horse or Running. But i need to Say that the Game is Based to looked good in Fast Movement. Cause of the Impressive Lightning Combined with everything on the Grass is Moving or Trees + in my Opinion a Lot of Wettness on the Ground. But when u take a Look on the Ground in Camps or Areas u see that its a but Meh. Which means it doenst Look that good, on This Things also the Characters besides the Main Characters from the Different Story Types also the Clothing from Normal NPC looks a bit Muddy sometimes. If i need to Rate it Between other Game i Would say its on a LvL of GoW which is for me 3rd. Behind RDR2 (2) and TLOU2 (1).

    The Atmosphere and Music are Good Mix overall i liked it and it never feeled to much or Stupid. U get this Samurai Feeling All the Time so a classy 10/10.

    The Story for me is Good. But it has the Same Problem which every Open World Game has. Cause im a Player who makes Many Side Quest and Stuff the Story gets Loss besides it. The Story was Good but i never got an Emotional Impact or feeled like "Holy **** for me a 8/10.

    The Open World is full with Activities which Really Make Fun. The Map also isnt complete Overfulled with Dog**** Side Stuff Like in Ubsoft Games or so. The Quest Makes Fun even to Follow The Foxes or get the Shrines is Good. It overall dont Feel to much it is a Perfekt Fitting. 10/10.

    The Game dont has a HUD so u cant just Click a Point on a Card and see how ur Running towords this Point. The thing with the Wind is a New and Very Good Choice SuckerPunch did here. It also dont feels like a **** thing or that u need to Long to Achive a Point on the Map its Really Really Good Made.

    Character Customizations are Ok u Can Chance ur Armor, Mask, Hat, the Katana & Dagger Skin also the Bow Skin. Its Okay nothing so Special but still Fine 8/10.

    In This Game u dont Have a Grinding System like u have in AC that the Higher u go the Harder the Enemies are. The Game is Based that u Shoulöd Feel how Powerful a Katana is. And that is the Best Decission SP can have Done Her. I cant Imagin how Sad it Must be Feel to have a Katana and cant Compete Against the same Enemies only cause thei are 5 Lvls a Head or so. It Just Feels Real and Impactful.

    What i need to Critics are the Cutscenes, not cause thei feel Wrong Placed are so the Completly Fine. But idk the Cutscenes Feel so "Cheap" It doesnt Feel like Year 2020. Thei are a bit Out of Time if u Compare them to TLOU2 or Red Dead Redemption 2. The "Intro" and the "Outro" of the Cutscenes as i said feel a Bit Cheap in my Opinions.. 8/10.

    What i overall Miss a bit but well thats not a Big Deal in the Games At the Moment only RDR2 & TLOU2 made Them which i Realized was the Character Mimic. That u can see how a Character Feel. When he Talks about his Family Died or so. The Face Looks Permanently the Same. But i dont Give a Score for that. Cause not Much Games even Improved that.

    I Need to Give 1 Bonus Points for the Very Good Synchro and the Insane Good Looking Armours and Masks. In my German Synchro i had 1 Issue that when Ur Jumping the Sounds Jin Gives are the Japanes Sound that doenst Fit the Synchro that Well but that a Small Issue i have. Overall is the Synchro Perfekt.

    If ur a Trophy Hunter the Platin is very Easy and not Ginding **** Like other Open World Games.

    From my Side its a 9.2/10. Which means a 9 on Metacritic. i Hade Good i guess Arround 60 Hours until my Platin Trophy, and never got Bored.

    I really liked the scenarios, the story, I would like that they will improve the combat a little more I think that I lack a little in the modeling of the characters.

    For a japanese culture fan this game is absolutely amazing. Exploration is great, surroundings are astonishing, the combats are tense and challenging (even in normal mode), the story is engaging. A must play for all players.

    Jogo muito divertido, combate viciante, Gráficos ótimos, cada vez mais vontade de explorar pra ganhar itens, tem dois defeitos que impede de dar nota 10 a dificuldade não é alta e a inteligência artificial tá meio burra várias vezes vejo npc parado olhando pra parede

    Esse jogo é lindo. Apesar da história não ser o grande ponto forte, ela é boa e consegue entreter. To adorando jogar!

    A visually stunning and utterly breathtaking game. What sucker punch have achieved with this game is just short of perfection. I won't spoil it but the story is one of survival, loyalty, friendship and above all, hope all intertwined with an entertaining, if somewhat repetitive, combat system. This system and in game bugs are the only things preventing me giving this game a perfect 10. IA visually stunning and utterly breathtaking game.

I may go back and play on a higher difficulty and would recommend this if you relish a challenge but playing normal difficulty was still thoroughly enjoyable. I also had Japanese dialogue with English subtitles and they mouth movements didnt add up on an obvious way but it isn't immersion breaking just a little nit pick. Play this game game, you will not regret it.… Expand

    Best open world game I have ever played, the combat is so well done, the enemies get tougher but the katana never feels like it's weak. The exploration is unique with no mini maps on screen and honestly the inclusion of guiding wind in it's place is such a brilliant idea. Story is told in a beautiful way, the characters also done very well. And the world of Tsushima is so beautiful andBest open world game I have ever played, the combat is so well done, the enemies get tougher but the katana never feels like it's weak.

    The game has to be one, if not the, visually stunning game.
    The story so far (almost finished Act 2) is amazing and really makes you feel the struggle that Jin faces of upholding his honor as samurai, or doing what it takes to drive the Mongol invaders from his homeland.

    A good game with a great storyline and great fighting. But of course not without drawbacks: bugs and the system of opening the territory on the map

    A wonderful game and a must play for every samurai addict! Very artistic, it successfully combines elements from The witcher 3 and Assassin's creed odyssey but with a strong identity and a lot of complex ideas, clearly surpassing the assassin's creed series. Don't miss it!

    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.
