The only gripes I have are that some aspects of the game can have a repetitive nature, but none of it seems to be required. It's not some trash rushed AAA game, which is actually a lot to ask for nowadays. Anyways, if you can afford this game, definitely get it I would give it a 9.5/10, but as that's not possible on this website, the game deserves a 10 over a 9 any day. Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima feels perhaps a little too ambitious for the PS4 and often feels like it wanted to be more but current gen limitations keeping it from doing so. I imagine a PS5 or PC version would make this game legendary. Very beautiful game, well told story and fun combat kept me hooked regardless. I highly recommend Ghost of Tsushima.

The load times are very quick also, you’re not waiting long to get into the action! There is a reason why Ghost of Tsushima has the highest user review score on Metacritic!

    With this being the PS4's final exclusive, Ghost of Tsushima delivers a great story about honor alongside great combat and stealth gameplay.

    The story takes place during the Mongol invasion of Tsushima island, with protagonist Jin Sakai being a survivor of the brutal attack on his home after failing to defend it with his samurai army. Jin's uncle Shimura is captured by the enemy while Jin is rescued by a thief, Yuna, who helps him recover. After initially failing to rescue Shimura, Jin decides to work with Yuna and recruits allies to aid in rescuing his uncle and drive the Mongol army away, all the while performing dishonorable actions that go against the samurai code (i.e. killing Mongols through stealth than through normal sword fighting).

    The plot deals heavily with the themes of honor and dishonor and is shown through the evolution of Jin's character. He initially is reluctant to assassinate enemies from the shadows, but over time, he becomes more accustomed to these new methods that many would deem shameful. He eventually decides to do whatever it takes to win back Tsushima and sees that honor and the samurai teachings won't be that helpful to him if it means that lives can't be saved at the end of the day. This transformation into his Ghost persona is done well and affects his relationship with his uncle, who disapproves of what Jin becomes. Their relationship is shown in flashbacks where we see how much they care for each other, with their present day relationship slowly deteriorating and souring in between these moments of the past. The ending of their relationship also coincides with the ending of the story, showing how drastic the change to their relationship has been and how they view honor, with both ending on a very bittersweet note.

    The game is also remarkably dark and that is displayed through the Mongols. Their leader is easily hateable and performs truly despicable acts in order gain the upper hand in the war. It was a joy to see what happens to him by the game's end and will satisfy players who loathe him. His underlings also do some horrific things to the island's inhabitants. You will regularly see many corpses courtesy of the invaders, who butcher others like animals. They also force villagers to work for them if they wish to live and will take hostages at outposts across the island. They are usually responsible for the deaths, mutilation, (implied) rape, child abuse and killings, torture of many of Tsushima's inhabitants. Their atrocities are on full display here and it cements them as terrifying force that must be annihilated.

    The game's side quests also show how bleak the game's tone is. Not all of them will result in happy endings for the quest givers and usually result in innocents being slain, with their loved one having to cope with their passing. One of the only times I laughed during gameplay was during a quest given by Kenji, a character who lies to you in order for you to help him get out of the problems he usually creates. Even he is sad at the passing of a character during the second act. This game is brutal and serious with what it shows and it is wholly unapologetic for it.

    Gameplay is divided into two types: normal combat and stealth. Normal combat has you slashing Mongols with a katana while blocking and dodging any incoming attacks. Stealth sees you creeping about and hiding in tall grass and on rooftops, killing Mongols when they aren't looking. Both gameplay styles allow you to use Ghost tools such as kunai and bombs to turn the tide of battle in your favor. You also have windchimes to lure enemies away while in stealth and two different types of bows to use for long range kills.

    Your abilities can be upgraded by increasing your legend, which will reward you technique points when your legend meter is filled to a certain point. Filling this meter completely will reset it and allow you to learn one of the aforementioned Ghost weapon techniques. Technique points help you learn skills for combat, stealth and in finding collectibles across the island. These collectibles include fox shrines, bamboo strikes, hot springs, haikus, etc. Further improvements can be done by acquiring and upgrading your armor and weapons. Equipping different armors gives you different benefits like increased health, enemies not hearing you run, enemies taking longer to detect you, etc. Improving armors can improve these benefits and is done by collecting resources like linen, steel, iron, silk. etc. alongside resources (money). The same can be said for upgrading weapons. Upgrading your tanto lets you assassinate Mongols faster, upgrading your katana lets you do more damage with it and upgrading both bows improves their reload speed, stability, etc. You can also improve your ammo pouches for weapons by killing predator animals and taking their hides.

    In the end, this game is mostly great to play, though it is mired by its collectibles which are not exciting or fun to collect.

    In total, I have spent 88 hours on this game, completing the story, all side quests/optional content, and 90% of collectibles, so I feel I have a very good grasp of what this game is. First of all, I'd rate this more of an 8.5, but I feel 8 is too low so I'm giving it a 9.

    Overall, this game certainly lived up to the expectations i had many years ago when it was revealed. And I'm glad to say it didn't turn out to be an Assassin's Creed rip off! Sure, there are clearly parts of the game that are inspired by AC, but it certainly isn't a like-for-like rip off - it has inspiration from several games clearly. And best of all, this is better far better than any of the AC games i've played since that series started! So don't go into this expecting a game like AC that you may drop after a while - this is a nice, sweet and immersive experience that Ubisoft ought to learn from!
    Let's start with the premise - you're one of the only Samurai left after the first invasion of Tsushima island by the Mongols. The game essentially puts you into the shoes of a samurai who must defy the strict Samurai honour code in order to protect the people of his islannd through more stealthy and creative means. Jin as a character may not feel that engaging, but you have to understand he's a samurai who generally keeps his emotions within him and doesn't openly show them. As you play through the game, you should begin to like Jin more as a protagonist, but don't expect him to be witty like Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series or anything.

    The supporting characters are all, genuinely, quite great. There's a good range in the personalities of your allies, and that's something i commend Sucker Punch for doing as they really go well with Jin.

    The music is fantastic, although it's not a soundtrack I would buy or anything. The peaceful music goes so well with the environment of the game and really match the tone of scenes. Whoever composed the score of this game really put a lot of effort into it!

    As for graphics - I played on a PS4 Slim on HDR settings and the game was beautiful, so it must look even better on the PS4 Pro and PS5 at 4K. The enviornments go from being lush and colorful forests and fields, to amazing temple and castle architecture, and to sombre environments that the Mongols have destroyed. The art design here is amazing and it's one of the big strenghts of this game. Very immersive and lovely to traverse through!

    The side quests in this game are quite varied, however do expect quite a bit of tracking missions. However, don't let this deter you as Sucker Punch do this very well! Much better than Ubisoft with the Assassin's Creed series where tracking missions are slow, boring, repetitive in design, and constitute most of the 'side quests' of the game. You certainly won't expect that here for GoT. You can expect to actually get some lore from the side quests. This is especially so for 'Mythical Tales' and the Tales of your allies. Mythical Tales are very fun, give you a sense of that mythical lore behind the islands, and give great rewards, The tales of your main allies are very well done. Sucker Punch don't overdo them, yet there's a considerable amount that will keep you invested in these characters' stories. It's a lovely way to get some plot from them and grow them as characters so that you understand them better, which you woudn't get from just playing the main story missions.

    As for the main story, this was very enjoyable, After Act 1, you should be invested in the story enough to finish. I particularly liked the end of Act 2 and the whole of Act 3. Yet again, a PlayStation studio comes up with a memorable and enoyable story for you to play through. It certainly isn't the best story from a PS exclusive, but a lot of effort was put into it and I definitely think it's something investing time into.

    Finally, I have to cmmend the progression and collectbles system. It's very satisfying to complete the main and optional quests and level up - the idea is you want to build your 'Legend' up from being a mere fallen samurai to the Ghost of Tsushima that the islanders and Mongols will remember forever. Other than that, it's your standard progression system with points you can spend on weapon techniques, unlocking new weapons, and weapon moves. As for the collectibles, there are a wide range of different ones, each with their own benefits and special cutscenes. Perhaps the most immersive are the 'Shinto Shrines' where you have to traverse across mountain ledges to get to the shrine on top - a bit like those special view points in Assassin's Creed. You also have the hot baths and haiku positions which are very peaceful.

    P.s - The "photo mode" should have a photo button, so we can render the photo without the need of pressing share button, cause not it'd be called a "print screen mode."

For my review, I am going to discuss the gameplay, music, graphics, and story. First of all, the gameplay is probably some of Sucker Punch’s greatest work. The four stance mechanics of the Samurai combined with the Ghost stealth mechanics creates a game with a combat system that has depth to it without being too complex. The game is also fairly challenging due to this, as you have to use the right stances along with timing your moves carefully to defeat different types of enemies. The music is also amazing, from songs that convey sad moments, to intense combat situations the music of Ghost of Tsushima has a theme for every mood that sets the stage for some of the games most powerful moments. This music, along with some of the most beautiful graphics I have ever seen get produced from my PS4 creates a wonder narrative about the Mongol invasion of Japan. The story I can also attest is good, as it follows the story of Jin Sakai, who with his allies, fight to liberate the Mongol Army form Japan. The stories greatest strength comes from all these characters, as you learn there stories as you help them, see how they grow, and how this all affects Jin by the end of the story.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a 10/10 Masterpiece. A must buy for PS4 and a must play for all Gamers.

    The game is great. The story is ok but it can be pretty forgettable at times. The side quests and world exploration are what will keep you coming back, and the fact that there is no UI is probably on of my favorite things about the game. The combat is fun, the stealth is fun, and it's just fun to explore.

    The combat was fluid and enjoyable. The photo mode is fantastic. And the overall story was very enjoyable.

    You could have peaceful moments writing haikus or being in a hot spring, challenge bandits and mongols to honorable standoffs, or be more like a ghost and be very stealthy.

    To me, this is so far my Game of the Year.

    For the negative point. The platforming parts could get a bit annoying, as sometimes Jin would decide that he rather fall to his death, than land on the platform right in front of him, or grab it.

    This doesn't stop this game from being fantastic though. I would highly recommend anybody play this game, if they're into Action RPGs

A história principal de Jin Sakai é sutilmente genêrica, abordado o tema de honra e tradição de um samurai indo de encontro com a necessidade de Jin em largar a tradição e lutar como um fantasma para derrotar os mongóis, já que os mesmos não lutam com honra, Jin não deve fazer o mesmo, e fará de tudo para alcançar a vitória e ajudar o povo de Tsushima a viverem suas vidas normalmente. O jogo é esteticamenre lindo, esbelto e cheio de cenários de encher os olhos, sendo quase impossível passar mais de 5 minutos sem querer abrir o modo foto e fazer uma obra de arte. O jogo peca em algumas expressões faciais pe na sincronia dos movimentos labiais com a dublagem, que no caso é a japonêsa, e obviamente é a melhor, com um elenco dddicado a entregar a melhor experiência possível, com histórias de personagens secundários sendo executada de maneira fenomenal, cada uma com início, meio e fim, com suas motivações e desejos, tudo isso se entrelaçando com a história de Jin.

    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.
