    Spoiler-Free Review

    Intro
    From the developer behind Sly Cooper and Infamous franchise comes an unusual departure from the status quo that Sucker Punch Studios is normally accustomed to. A historic fiction game about samurai overcoming the Mongol empire. Samurai games are nothing new to the world of video games but ever since its announcement, I hoped that Sucker Punch could put enough of their own spin on the genre to make something truly special. To my surprise, Sucker Punch has succeeded in most areas that would make this game a hit.

    Story – 3/3
    Jin Sakai, the main protagonist, is tasked to take out a new threat as the Mongols grow ever more brutal. Most of Jin’s closest allies are taken out within minutes, leaving him as one of the last of his kind. Conflicted on whether he should defeat this new threat with honorable samurai tactics or using more questionable methods. It’s an entertaining story about the inner conflict within Jin Sakai and the sacrifices that he might have to make to save his people. Normally most stories within a Feudal Japan era never keep my interested but I was on the edge of my seat for all of the 20-hour adventure. If you’re in it for the story, this is a must-play adventure.

    Gameplay – 3/4
    This is your standard hack and slash affair or so it seems when you first start out. The game consists of having buttons for light and heavy attacks along with blocking/parry moves. The real fun is when learning on how to weave different stances together to make Jin truly unstoppable. Each stance can be switched on the fly and each one is super effective on one particular enemy. Even on hard difficulties, this game feels balanced as it will only kick your ass if you have no clue on how to use the systems put in place. Open world exploration is the best I have seen in any game due to the natural ways you can discover things within the world. Winds blowing in the direction of your objective, foxes and birds guiding you to secrets within the world. You get a sense of how beautiful this world can be and shows you some more peaceful moments before the chaos happens. The only thing I had an issue with was the smaller side missions. There are 3 types of missions, story missions, characters side missions, and regular side missions. The character side missions are a lot of fun as they expand on characters within the main story and give them more to do but regular side missions were bland. The game's full run time of 60 to 70 hours was stretch a bit thin if you’re going to 100% completion. Ghost of Tsushima is still fun in the gameplay department, just expect for it to get a bit bland near the ended mark.

    Technical – 2/3
    The graphics are pretty good. On the level of 2017’s Horizon: Zero Dawn when comparing it to another open-world game. Glitches happen every now again like attacks phasing through enemies or QTE showdowns getting stuck by enemies walking away instead of staying in place. Music is really good but nothing I would seek out after playing the game. Its pretty polish and on the level you would expect from a Sony first-party title.

    Verdict
    Ghost of Tsushima is an amazing samurai game that gets so close to masterpiece status. An engaging story, interesting gameplay mechanics, and amazing open-world design greatly overpower small problems like lackluster side missions and small technical hiccups. This is a must-buy if you own a PS4 as this game will go down as the perfect send-off for AAA games on the PS4.

    Great fighting. Very atmospheric graphic and music. Story is interesting and open world is big enough to not feel empty. Great characters and acting.
    Some glitches there and there but nothing bad. Historically it isnt accurate but good enough.

    As a person who loves medieval Japan I am having a blast, I love the story. The scenario, and the beauty plus the story makes you forget the classic open world repetitive stuff. I am super immersed, there is the presence of diversity although it does not feel forced. Id say a near perfect game

    I feel like most open world games these days get too massive and bloated by boring content, but that's not the case with Ghost of Tsushima sure there's less interesting stuff but you're not forced to do it to progress the game further.
    overall most of the game systems are nothing special but they're not terrible with combat being the highlight of the game-play making you feel like you

    Great game. I would give it a 8.5 but thats not possible so a 9 would be oke. Let me specify everything:

    *Mainstory = 10 Lets start with the main story. It is very unique and very nice to follow. There will be some unique things and it wants you to know more about people and story. It is a very good game if you stick with the main story *Sidequest = 9 Overal i liked almost all
    Great game. I would give it a 8.5 but thats not possible so a 9 would be oke. Let me specify everything:

    *Mainstory = 10
    Lets start with the main story. It is very unique and very nice to follow. There will be some unique things and it wants you to know more about people and story. It is a very good game if you stick with the main story

    *Sidequest = 9
    Overal i liked almost all sidequest. Most of them are unique with a story and there is always something to do. Some are ofcourse a bit repetitive, but doenst hurt the game. You need to do them all if you want to go Platinum. Atleast there are many diffrent quests!

    Side note: when you completed a quest you would always have to wait for a little cinematic that you cant skip. It takes around 6 seconds, but i reallly disliked this. Example: the main character would lay against his horse, wake up, will stand and you see something in screen... and then you can play again.

    *Gameplay = 10
    This is were to fun is! The gameplay is very good, but you need to unlock most things. When you start the game you dont have many stances, weapons and moves. When you progress into the game you will unlock more and more.

    *Gear = 9
    You can play like you want. You can play like an assassin or as a warrior. The body-armor is were all the unique skills are. It doesnt mather what face-armor you pick. For RPG-elements: you can pick a hat, face-armor, body-armor and a unique sword. There are not many body-armors, but there are alot of hats and swords in the game.

    *Sound = 8
    I kinda miss some nice background sound. Overal it's oke and everything is in place, but for me it was to quiet to often, especially during riding my horse.

    *Open World = 9
    You can walk freely at your own pace. You can skip the main story to explore and there are alot of question marks to discover. This part can be repetitive, but it didnt bother me.

    *Lenght = no rate
    The game has 3 acts with 3 diffrent area's. I played around 50 hours for platinum and the main story is around 20-25 hours. This depends on your playstyle.

    Probably the most beautiful game ever made.
    From the fantastic, precise gameplay, the incredible sound design and music, to the most beautiful landscapes and scenarios ever put to videogame. This game deserves nothing less than a perfect score. Even the extremely rare graphical bugs do not deter it from deserving a 10/10. A masterpiece.

Truly a masterpiece that builds upon its predecessors and listens to the recommendation from fans. FFXV was massive and epic but got bogged down in a bunch of disconnected "run and fetch" quests that made the player lose their connection to the story. GoT weaves the all the quests, main and side, together masterfully. I look forward to going on them, not trudging through them, completing them for completions sake like in FFXV.

    Horizon Zero Dawn was a lot of fun but for some reason just didn't hook me and in HZD and FFXV I found myself looking at the minimap and moving a triangle through a maze COMPLETELY ignoring and missing incredibly impressive and detailed landscapes. GoT did away with maps and cleverly added a "follow the wind" mechanism that is actually part of the story. Now I travel the island, completely aware of my surroundings, often with my mouth agape.

    Another "lessons learned" GoT uses is not getting stuck in the trees. There are so many open world games, especially when using a horse or vehicle, where you get stuck in the trees and it is annoying AF to navigate. So much so, you don't even use the conveyance anymore. GoT does away with this. The landscape is still dotted with an assortment of vegetation but you walk or ride right through them. It REALLY improves gameplay and makes exploring fun instead of tiresome, frustrating and tedious.

    The previous examples may seem fairly specific but that is because the obvious stuff, gameplay, graphics, story, and soundtrack are all simply amazing. I was reluctant to belabor the obvious and probably wouldn't even have bothered to write this had it not been for little details SuckerPunch included that I really appreciated. I wanted to make sure there's at least a chance someone from SuckerPunch noticed that there are players that appreciate their efforts, even the subtle ones.

    Just an unequivocal must purchase for any gamer.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, The story isn't particularly interesting. It's more of a means to an ends, which honestly didn't bother me whatsoever. There has to be a bunch of enemies for the samurai to fight, so why not have the mongols invade? Makes sense and delivers the action on a regular basis.

    Some people may say the game is a bit derivative of assassin's creed or even something like red dead redemption, but don't let that scare you away. There are many minor details this game has included that make it stand out. First of all the combat is quite different than most games I have played as it requires you to change your technique depending on the type of enemy you are fighting. It also feels very real. I believe I am swinging a sword when I'm fighting enemies. You get that sense of connection with it which is great.

    In addition there's cool side quests that are very unique and quests aren't necessarily just go fetch this or talk to this person. They are mini stories that have a beginning middle and end. Each quest feels more like a storyline rather than a chore.

    Ultimately, the best thing about the game is how gorgeous it is. The landscapes are incredible and there is a fantastic screenshot system which allows you to edit images with lots of options. You'll never get bored of riding your horse through the pampas plants, and there's enough discoverable locations to keep you busy for a long time.

The cinematic work is masterful showing of the japanese cinematography and culture. This game plays like a dream. Any mistakes i made during gameplay were my own and i felt completely in control. The leveling up mechanic in this game is fantastic and makes you feel like you grown from a weakling samurai to a force to be reckoned with. The flexibility in choice of abilities allows for endless opportunities to grow and best of all defeating and observing your enemies helps you counter other enemies you are likely to face.

    The game is beautiful and made me feel like i was in japan in at 1274 during the mongol invasion. The collectibles also are very useful from new hats to new masks and other items to have fun with on your journey. The story for a simple as it seems is amazing combined with the side quests makes the story a who lot more enriched and somber. The story was told beautifully.

    There were some glitches i ran into on my playthrough like when i air assassinated someone through an object it caused my assassinations to be glitched and would cause detection issue or how the final tale of norio quest causes the fox dens to glitch and foxes would not show up. beating the quest and resetting the game fixed the issues and definitely did not take away from my enjoyment especially since they did not happen frequently or were very minor with easy fixes.

    I liked the wind system but i wish they showed you the exact location instead of approximate because when hunting for collectables it became a big pain because the wind was not always very fun to follow or would not show up at all on my map until i moved a while. I think the wind works for things with a little less amounts to them the banners and other large quantity items were very annoying. I think an exact location would have worked way better on things like the banners or scrolls and artifacts.

    overall i think this game is amazing and definitely is a 9 out of ten. from how cinematic it is to its fluid clean gameplay its easily my favorite game so far this year

    I am only in Act 2 while writing this review, but I think i have a good idea of what this game has to offer.

    Combat: leveling up is quite rewarding, it gives you opportunities to fight your enemies with different weapons and moves. This means you get the choice to face your enemies or sneak up to them. Until now, I enjoy every confrontation I have had. Story: nothing revolutionary.

    Story: nothing revolutionary. It is a nice story about honor, which you can expect from a samurai story. Dividing it up into different acts makes it interesting as you seem to work towards an achievable goal.

    Open world: the world in GoT is beautiful, some parts are breathtaking. The only negative is that there aren't much recognizable parts like in other open world games. It does create some spectacular settings though, especially for special combat scenes that are very cinematic.

    Overall, this is a very enjoyable game that lets you fight interesting battles in a beautiful feudal Japanese setting. Well worth the purchase.

    The first one is how meaningless every choice you do in the game is, the game seems like is going somewhere with the dialogue that it gives you and you expect it to have some weight in the overall story but i doesnt, making it totally pointless .
    The second one is how repetitive the game is. Have u played any recent open world game like horizon zero dawn or far cry games ? Well this is the same, free outpost climb this kill this this guys etc , this is nothing new and there very little freedom in regards to missions structure you either go in guns blazing or you sneaky beaky like , this could be fun if not for the dumb AI and the very limited abilities you have to do so. Even the hook seems totally pointless and underused it's only used for climbing when it had potential to be used has a weapon scorpion any one ?
    And last for not least why is the game dubbed in Japanese it should be its original language its just weird when u see Japanese people not speaking Japanese.
    Now that the bad things are out of the way let's talk about the good things, I don't cry easily in games but this one made do it 3 times its not a happy story but it sure is a good one.
    The combat in the game is phenomenal i just wish it had a bit more of limb cutting cause some of the blows the main character does seems like it would cut a man in half but all u see on the enemy is some blood stains and every so often u see him chopping heads and arms i just wish these happens more frequently because they were really satisfying.
    The sound OMFG THE SOUND, from the wind blowing and dragging the leafs scraping them floor to the sound your Katana does wen putting it back in the sheath it really sounds phenomenal and the music feats the game aesthetic and the aesthetic of this game is beautiful.

I have never really thought about this before but map markers constantly remind you that your in a game. The combat is simple enough anyone can enjoy it but if you master it. You truly are untouchable. one thing i thought to my self while playing assassins creed was why do they keep sending mercenaries. I've killed like a million of them surely they would just refuse come if they know they're gonna die. In ghosts of tsushima as your legend grows people will just run away from you and I love that. its something that should be in all rpgs

    ghosts of tsushima is game where you really do feel like a samurai and I really fell in love with that

    I can't get enough of it. I gotta give it to Sucker Punch, they really nailed the open world environment. I love all of the activities and I can't get enough of going about on the map. The combat is awesome. It's deep and I would recommend going on HARD. That's how you get to master it and see it in all its depth. Overall this game for me its a nice breath of fresh

    You play as this guy named Jin, you can see that the game is awesome when your character is named Jin. Your main weapon is a sword and you can ride horses, I mean which game ever did that huh? For the first few hours of the game, it really feels like that game was made by the creators of "Bubsy 3D" but as you progress through the story you can clearly see that the game holds a spot right next to games like "Knack" and "Super Mario Bros 2". The AI System is God tier in this game, with this new technology the enemies can even smell you. So if you're a weeb and you haven't take a shower in 3 weeks the game punishes you by saying " No, the Japanese can smell too you dumba**". So anyway, Behnam told me to give the game a 10/10 and that's what I'm gonna do. Masterpiece.

    -The world is beautiful and engaging, with different and varied biomes and lots of interesting places to discover. Everything you do is rewarding, as you progress through the large skill trees or unlock cool customizing items.
    -The combat starts basic but quickly progresses and adds many new things, never becoming boring. There are plenty of skills, abilities and stances. However, the stealth too easy due to IA being a bit dumb.
    -There's great variety of missions, and even though most of them have the same structure (go to a place > follow trail or npc > kill enemies), the story that's behind them is well written and makes the time spent worthwhile. Both the main and the side characters are great and charismatic.
    -The soundtrack is GOD.
    Overall, extremely beautiful game with a perfect balance of all of its elements. It only suffers a bit from the market sturation of open worlds (same elements seen in those are present here), but the execution here is flawless and it's only beaten by RDR2 in this field. A must have for PS4 owners.

I didn't bother with the Black and White mode because the game is just to good looking to do that The end really hit home for me. I was genuinely sad after the final battle. It hit an emotional chord. I also personally really liked the no lock on system. I didn't think the game was clunky at all. There were some bugs like random npcs falling from the skies but it didn't hurt the experience.

    I am giving this a 9 on here only because I can't do fraction ratings. Personally I would give this an 8.5. It's not the greatest game of all time, but it's very good. That said it is much closer to a 9 for me than an 8 so by default it gets a 9,

    - Interesting Characters.
    - Side missions are good and dont feel like filler.
    - Graphics and Art Work/Degisn is GOD TIER. seriously this is even a small level above RED DEAD 2.
    - the Leveling System is fairly deep and does its job nicely.

    mixed
    - Technically (ps4 slim) its a hit and miss. but mostly hit, PS4Pro is flawless from what i read.

    closing thoughts

    these "professional" reviewers once again prove how irrelevant they are. games losing points for not reinventing the wheel, while others dont. this is one of the best games of the Generation but you wouldnt know that by looking at the "professional" scores ( which are solid but are doing a great disservice to the game ), now i thought Second Son was mediocre to pretty good at best but Sucker Punch really stepped up BIG TIME, they are on the level of Santa Monica to me now. looking forward to your next game, ill be there day 1.

    All of this, being told by either Jin's perspective or as his allies perspectives, or even enemies, which in the end sometimes make you understand and comprehend the caracthers and their actions.

Anytime I sit down and play it I am sucked into the world in a way I have not experienced since playing the original assassin's creed. Truly the best open world crawler I've ever played. The combat is brutal and enjoyable but accessible. Play in HDR if at all possible the game is breathtaking. The only thing holding this back from a 10 is some minor occasional open world jank which is not unexpected but it is annoying to see weird disconnected animations particularly when traversing uneven terrain is climbing rocks or houses, that detract from an otherwise flawless world and aesthetic.

    ЭТА ИГРА ПЫТАЛАСЬ СДЕЛАТЬ МЕНЯ САМУРАЕМ, НО Я НЕ ПРОГНУЛСЯ!

    8,5 лисьих нор из 10! Цусима - потрясающий остров, где большая заслуга шикарной системы частиц, анимации боя очень красивые (словно Гордон Рамзи разделывает лосося), 3D звук качественный, в сюжете весьма хорошее направление. Если студия дальше будет развивать эту серию, то на PlayStation будет тот самый Assassin's Creed,

    Вот и закончилось поколение PlayStation 4.

    The most unexpectedly pleasant surprise in gaming of this year which didn't receive even half of the marketing campaign the train wreck that TLOU2 is did.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful game. From the immersive atmosphere, to the absolutely badass gameplay that makes you feel like a real samurai, or ninja, or both, depending on your style. It's an open world game without the boring, repetitive side quests, where exploration through the numerous and varied locations feels like a delight, not a chore. It's also a love letter to Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.

    If you like samurai stories, action, good open world games, Japanese culture, then this game is a must for you. Do not sleep on this game.

    Amazing game - combat is awesome - you have several stances to choose and mix. Whole setting is masterfully created, you can feel Japanese culture and mythology coming in spades from this game.

    One of the best open world games I've played since the Witcher 3. Oozes style, grace and beauty, fighting mechanics are easily the most thought out structure in the game with multiple stances, play styles and weapons to choose from.. exploration is absolutely breathtaking, how the environment was crafted and seamlessly put together is a gaming achievement. I cant stress how good this game is.

It is a very rare event in the life cycle of a console that a game as special as this comes along that impresses and moves the industry benchmarks forward. Generally open world games are rather fatiguing and dull but I cannot really find anything to **** about with this title except for some minor graphical nit picks about the camera and some animation issues etc. These little things do not detract from the overall experience in the least.

    I am a huge fan of Japanese art, culture and cinema and this wonderful game is a love letter to those things. You can just see that Sucker Punch have done these things justice and love these as well. I am a massive Kurosawa fan and playing this in the black and white Kurosawa mode is just like playing a movie and is a fun little distraction.

    Well done Sucker Punch I am so addicted to this gem of a game and have not been this impressed since God of War but in my opinion GOT is better and more enjoyable than that title and yes even Red Dead 2 as well.

    Incredible and highly recommended for all true gamers.

    Boring. Not my favorite setting. But the game is not bad, especially for this company with zero experience.
    The photo mode is the best. There is no game with such cool awesome marvelous photo mode. Only for it, the game earns my 8.

    Fantastic game and a fantastic closure to a game console generation. Ghost of Tsushima is not without flaws but stands as a reminder that not every new game has to be ****

    It, mechanically, follows the already proven pattern of some earlier awesome games. Open world, pick up trees and flowers, upgrade gear, get better tools that give access to new areas and stuff, do main or secondary
    Fantastic game and a fantastic closure to a game console generation. Ghost of Tsushima is not without flaws but stands as a reminder that not every new game has to be ****

    It, mechanically, follows the already proven pattern of some earlier awesome games. Open world, pick up trees and flowers, upgrade gear, get better tools that give access to new areas and stuff, do main or secondary quests.

    My first impression when booting up was that I where surprised by it´s low quality textures, quite hideous at times. But in my opinion, textures does not have anything to do with how good a game is. Even though some bad textures, the overall environmental fidelity of the graphics are masterpieces. Characters are okay, not a new Bloody Baron or Vaas but they do their part. The main story is quite good, with one or two good twists. Secondary questlines are also okay.
    The game is also constructed with immersion in mind, the hud only ever shows exactly when needed to, minimaps or markers are not here. Instead you are guided by ingame phenomenons like the wind or animals. Love the focus on immersion.

    Combat is where the game really shines. I usually don´t think to much about it, I often even find combat a bit boring. But GoS really nails the combat. It is so well balanced and skillfully constructed, it puts a lot of significance on the skill and concentration on the player. A really focused player can defeat several enemies of high lethality, but let your thoughts wander away for half a second and you are gutted.

    If you love Horizon, Red Dead or Samurais in general you´r gonna love Ghost Of Tsushima!

    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.
