    Very good story and setting, very enjoyable story.

    The NPCs that are around the world could have better modeling and the easy expressions are pretty bad.

    Looking forward to the second part

    Fantastic! I initially bounced off of this game because I was trying to rush through it. I had the same experience with The Witcher 3 and Assassin's Cred: Odyssey. These types of games are meant to be long and involved and the most satisfying way to play them is to find all the little items and side mission along the way.

    The best part of the game is easily the visuals and environments.    Fantastic! I initially bounced off of this game because I was trying to rush through it.

    The best part of the game is easily the visuals and environments. The guiding wind mechanic instead of the compass fits so perfectly with this. From falling leaves to moving grass, the world definitely feels realistic. I wound up hunting down all the collectibles just to see more of it.

    The story seemed to start a bit slow, but before I knew it I was hunting down five ronin assassins to duel underneath a waterfall. So it does get quite epic and I did get invested in the side characters along with Jin himself.

    This really does feel like an Assassin's creed game without the modern day BS, which is a great thing. The stealth is very well done and the combat feels very measured and well paced, even in the boss fights. I did have so many abilities by the end that I forgot to use most of them, but that's usually a good thing.

    Highly recommended for sure! Stick with it and you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

The story was okay, though I never really grew attached to any characters, I had a blast finishing it and loved every duel that I participated in. The gameplay was SO FUN. The parry and counter system never grew old. So I say to anyone, no matter what your choice in game genre is, you should play this. It is peak videogames and I loved the hard work the Insomniac team put in. Ghost of Tsushima is the first, and only game(so far), that I have ever platinum'ed.… Expand

    Visualmente es de lo más bonito que se ha visto nunca en un videojuego y, además, ambientado en la Japón feudal, ¿qué más se puede pedir? Un trama mejor, quizás, porque en el apartado sonoro y en gráfico (como ya he mencionado) es sobresaliente. El gameplay nos proporciona unos combates apasionantes que nos mantiene enganchados a los mandos.

    Pros:
    - graphically stunning on every level and at all times.
    - a really interesting, engaging, and deep story where your choices have repercussions.
    - combat is usually fun.
    - some of the boss fights are completely stunning, visually and gameplay-wise.
    - the side quests are as good as the main quest.
    - Again: the setting is beyond engrossing, and again, probably one of the most gorgeous in all of gaming. The graphics really just can't be beat.

    Cons:
    - The game goes on longer than it needs to: by the endgame, you understand how to beat all the different types of enemies they throw at you. Beating them becomes more muscle memory than anything.
    - Aside from the main quest and the character-based side quests, a lot of the leveling is just done through rinse-and-repeat collectible hunting or base-captures that only end, again, once you do rinse-and-repeat collectible finding.
    - Most boss fights become formulaic once you figure out how to beat the boss. Normally it's a lot of waiting, then hitting the right button at the right time, then more waiting, then repeating the process.

    But for the drag that is the endgame, this would be a 10/10 for me. The fun just stops so wholly that it felt like a bore by the time you finish, but-for one big twist/fight. That twist & fight alone redeems a lot of the endgame, but some of it can't be saved.    … Expand

The build variety is big enough to try out some different playstyles and the combat is extremely satisfying, especially the parry which I used almost always. The standoffs are great fun, and the timings are generous. I loved everything about the combat in this game. Killing enemies with headshots using your longbow, using your kunai and special abilities in the heat of battle, and parrying your enemies and counterattacking in a duel, this is all mechanics I enjoy immensely. I got the Platinum and except for maybe way too many Inari shrines, it was a very natural trophy hunt, very fun and filled with the kind of tasks I enjoy doing on a platinum hunt. My favorite character is Lady Masako. Her character development was at another level, and each and every step of her quest line was way beyond my expectations when playing a videogame. Maybe I should adjust those expectations in the future.… Expand

Este sistema de combate da margen de mejora al jugador haciéndo sentir al mismo que está mejorando a medida que avanza. La banda sonora es buenísima aunque llega un punto en el que se hace algo repetitiva (mientras no estás en una misión, donde la música es única), y cuando se suma a la atmósfera inmersiva gracias a una cantidad justa de HUD hace que sea probablemente uno de los juegos que más absorben en su mundo. Quizás algo de lo que abusa es de poner una cantidad excesiva de marcadores en el mapa, pero el sistema de exploración es simplemente superior.

    Well, the first thing that will draw your attention is the art direction. It's crazy how much the wind impacts how the game looks. The world seems alive and unique since you feel like a samurai. More than that, the mechanics encourage you to explore naturally. You wanna find your mission or health places? just follow the wind. That way, HUD is almost    Truly an amazing experience.

More than that, the mechanics encourage you to explore naturally. You wanna find your mission or health places? just follow the wind. That way, HUD is almost unnecessary for most of the game. The use of colors and cinematography is top tier either. I can't remember another game that drove me so many times to just appreciate the scenario and shoot a photo of it. Also, the photography mode here is almost perfect. So many choices you can do, with a pretty volatile engine. Weather is a good example. It changes the game so much that it looks like another map sometimes.

    The graphic is not the only satisfying thing. Gameplay-wise, this game shines. Combat flows amazingly most of the time and the techniques made it a lot deeper than it would be without it. Boss fights are good, especially the scenario and context involving them. Its difficulty is relative, but I can't say it will demand knowledge and caution.

    And about the story? It's ok, to be honest. The dialogs are kinda unnatural sometimes, and I believe that's bad considering the deep discussion that the game brings. The character development could be better. It's not bad, but abrupt. Happily, even with those flaws, I believe the discussion about honor and family - and overall the way of living - is beautifully set. I couldn't hold my tears at the very end, and both choices are so deep that it makes the journey worth your time.

    Negative points? Fps drops and Stealph missions. Since the game is handled beautifully by and 2013 console, I will disregard it. But the stealth, man... those sections are bad since the game ends if you are caught. Good stealth games are volatile and the is not sometimes.

    Anyway, I totally recommend it.    … Expand

    On top of that an AMAZING, tight, solid, samurai gameplay. Playing as Jin is a blast, either as a stealthy ninja or a proud samurai. Killing the enemies never gets old, quite the opposite; the game keeps presenting us with stylish, gory finishing blows that almost paint the screen red. It's a great samurai game that looks like a great samurai movie.

    I've been tired of open world games for a while. Could not finish AC Odyssey, barely finished Days Gone. But Ghost? Could not put it down. I cared about those characters, their stories of vengeance and honor; I wanted to push forward, to clear enemy compounds or to just find another cool piece of vanity gear.

There were a few points in the game in which things were going at a hectic pace but because I failed to hit a point of the screen to move the action forward I was stuck in a holding pattern running around aimlessly wondering what I had failed to do. Before realizing that had I only moved my character to a specific spot the game would have moved along. Also, I was able to complete the game without finishing every mission (which is fine) but when I continued after completing the game it gave off a silly sense of urgency vibe that shouldn't have existed.

    The graphics are so damn good. Every 5 minutes I found myself stopping to take in the view and snapping pics from the great photo mode, which offer a lot of creative options. The combat system really shines on hard mode, at first you'll find yourself dying a lot, but it makes you wanna be better and after you master the way of the samurai, you'll feel so cool when they can't even touch you. And even cooler when you wipe away the blood from your blade and put it away graciously.
    Finally the atmosphere and immersion this game offers is masterful, riding your horse in the fields while epic Japanese music is playing, really is one the best feelings ever. I can't remember a time when I enjoyed a game so much. Thank you Sucker Punch for the amazing game! 10/10    … Expand

    Really enjoyed this game. The Japanese voice actor is Zoro from One piece. That just made it for me.

    Also it doesn't have woke bull"****" in. Best game on PS4 this year so far

    If you're a fan of classic samurai films, and hell a fan of GREAT gameplay, then this here game is for you. It's slight graphical shortcomings are toppled by an incredible and unique aesthetic.

    At the risk of IGN'ing hard here, it's true in this case. This games makes you FEEL like a samurai.

    Very decent game
    Some things is done good and some things are just average
    Yet it is the only open-world game i have ever completed.

    i borrowed it from a friend but i would say it is defintely worth the money

GOT is a beautiful game and worth every of your penny I didn’t have so much fun with a game since the Witcher 3, highly advised!… Expand

    The mission structures are a little bland, but the game still pulled me in to the end. It's beautiful, the characters are interesting, and combat is fun. This is a nice homage to samurai movies.

Everything is fairly fluid and the visuals are absolutely gorgeous. The combat is flashy and punchy, but is a bit too simple for its own good, particularly for a game of this length. By the time you reach the second section of Tsushima island, you will be incredibly overpowered and capable of demolishing most encounters, and the game does fairly little to challenge you from there on out.

    As an open world game, Tsushima shoots for the Horizon Zero Dawn method of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". It's a fairly generic open world structure; you take over enemy encampments, run random tasks for the inhabitants, and find points of interest to get cosmetics and various upgrades and items.

    Some aspects of the game are a bit buggy or unpolished. The camera can become a monster in close quarter encounters; you may end up looking at the middle of a clipped-through tree while Jin gets wailed on by people you can't see or dodge. This isn't usually a problem in open plains or more spacious villages, but fighting indoors or in the denser wooded sections can be genuinely impossible at times. Fighting works pretty well usually, but you will have to adapt to a weird and stiff pseudo-lock on system. Jin will face an enemy, and begin moving slowly, and it can be a bit sluggish to jerk him out of that to target another enemy that's further away. Archery feels great, but drawing and knocking is inconsistent. If you press R2 too quickly after L2, Jin will just sit there and wait for you to repress R2. On that note, R2 is used far too much for context sensitive actions, crawl into a stealth area? R2. Pick up items? R2. Talk to people? R2. Grapple onto something? R2. Pull up your quick swap menus? R2. This all works ok, but can get awkward when you're collecting items and instead your menu comes up and slows it all down. It feels poorly thought out.

    Overall these gameplay issues are fairly minor, but they will cause some annoyance pretty regularly.

    The side content is consistently passable, although the mythic quests are particularly good. The general structure of most content is talk to a peasant, go do thing for them, oh no! They lied about something! Go tell them they shouldn't do that and get your reward. It's not very interesting but the combat and exploration is fun enough to carry it. The mythic quests bring a little more intrigue, usually bringing in some mystic or legendary elements and have much better set pieces about on par with the main story.

    All in all, Sucker Punch set out to make a fun, polished, open world Kurosawa-esque samurai flick of a game, and they succeeded. It won't blow your mind very often, but it will suck you in with its setting and visuals. With a little more care, the combat could've stayed fresh throughout, and some of the padding could've been cut (we don't need to follow a fox for 20 seconds 49 different times, please and thank you) to make the stronger content really shine. I'd probably give this an 8.3 or 8.4, maybe an update will smooth out my issues and push this closer to a 9.    … Expand

Along with that the quest design (minus a few flaws), combat, customization and fast travel system/load times make this game extremely addictive and allow you to play the game at your on pace depending on your style. On top of all that the island of Tsushima is absolutely amazing making exploration one of the best features of the game.

    My few issues with the game are with the physics. Most of the time unnoticeable but every now and then you’ll get some issues for example fighting on a cliff or rooftop it’s hard to yeet your enemies to their death due to an invisible like barrier. Other than that my only other problem with the game is a lot of the quests so far repeat the same formula, talk to a villager/ally, investigate the area for clues, follow footsteps or tracks, etc.

    These issues are easily forgiven though due to the game offering so much done right. I’m 25+ hours in and just scratching the surface of Act 2. Can’t wait for the rest of the journey and what comes from Sucker Punch/GoT in the future. Game Of The Year for me so far.    … Expand

Sucker punch crafted an amazing open world; and I was constantly amazed at how beautiful it was. I was also was constantly surprised by how deep this game was, whether that be by side content, the robust rpg elements, rewards, or even cosmetics. Story-wise it was good, nothing really amazing imo. The game had decent amount of A.I issues that did break the immersion for me personally, and I wouldve like to have seem more mission design variety. Overall, though I did really enjoy this game, and can easily reccomend if you like the mix of AC and the witcher.

    Pros:
    + Open world is amazing, one of the most aesthetically pleasing ones to look at and explore
    + Combat is fun and addicting
    + Mythic tales, and shinto shrines, I even liked the haiku's a lot (side content)
    + Surprisingly robust and deep rpg elements
    + Decent story
    + A lot of content

    So-So's:
    * Jin definately grew from an uninteresting character to somewhat enjoyable by the end, and that goes for almost all major side characters.
    * Khotun Khan was under-used, could've almost challenge Vaas (Far cry 3), as one of the more badass villains, but alas..no
    * Side missions overall were ok, the variety was def there...but still some were interesting, some were generic.

    Cons:

    - Stealth was too basic.
    - Enemy A.I ranges from mediocre, to average. Combat wise, they were decent, but everything else.. below average- mediocre.
    - Mission design could've had more variety. Ride, Combat, stealth was mostly it.    … 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.
