    This is a slow-burn. Definitely a marathon not a Sprint. What ghost has on other open world games of similar ilk is the atmosphere. I never got bored with this game because it always kept me engaged with the tone and the setting. Honestly the colors are just drop dead gorgeous. The mechanics are fun as can be I never lost interest in a fight. The music selection and composition is spot-on.This is a slow-burn. Definitely a marathon not a Sprint.

If you are fighting in either a wooded area or bushes or even in close confines of buildings then there's a good chance that you're going to have a hard time tracking all enemies.… Expand

    Flawless gameplay. Amazing open world. Great side activities. Stunning visuals.
    This game deserves every single cent spent on it. Definitely MUST-BUY game. Looking forward to GOTY title.

    The main campaign was interesting and progression and leveling up was fun and well realized.
    As the game was very serious it would have been nice for some side quests to lighten up a little and a few side actives could have been more fun.

    Overall very good game and I would recommend for any lover of open world,rpg or anyone interesting in Samurai culture.

    Also reading the Mongol artifacts were very interesting and educational, I usually don't enjoy too much reading of collectibles and tend to just collect for the trophy but get bored reading after a while, but this was very well done.    … Expand

    I generally don't like open world games. There are very few that hit the mark for me, but this is certainly one of them.

There are very few that hit the mark for me, but this is certainly one of them.

    Let's get the nitpicky negatives out of the way. The game could really use an FoV slider. The camera is generally far too pulled in for my taste. The camera also has a tendency to get in the way during prolonged or close-quarters combat because the game doesn't apply any transparency to objects very close to it. Again on the camera, it would also be nice to get rid of the acceleration effect, although it's fairly minor. An option for lock-on would also be appreciated, since in large encounters, it feels like I'm spending most of my time trying to re-adjust the camera so I can see after every dodge or parry, which is to say every 2-3 seconds.

    Also the game tries to wrench control from you occasionally in combat. There were moments when I was pushing toward a certain enemy to attack them, and as soon as I hit an attack button, Jin would swerve wildly to the side to attack a different enemy. A huge no-no in any action game imo, and far too common in recent generations. This is with aim assist OFF.

    My only other real gripe is that the lip-sync goes completely out the window when you switch the voice acting to Japanese, making it a little jarring during cutscenes.

    Now onto the good. There's a lot, so I'll just bullet point it.

    -The visual style and presentation are absolutely gorgeous
    -The story is gripping, tense and well-written
    -The game's atmosphere is top-notch, from somber lonely moments to epic cinematic highs
    -The sound design is impeccable, with sounds being a massive aid in combat for anyone with a good setup/headphones
    -The soundtrack is beautiful and ranges from haunting, subdued tracks to blood-pumping themes that perfectly fit the mood of war and combat
    -The voice acting is very solid, even in English. No bottom-barrel funimation ****
    -The combat is fluid, intuitive and rewarding.
    -Almost all the upgrades you can choose feel substantive and have real effects on gameplay.
    -Exploration is fun and rewarding, both because there are many things to find and do, and because the world is so incredible to look at.
    -Nearly every encounter can be tackled in a great variety of ways, making every build and upgrade path feel 100% viable.
    -Skill is rewarded, and a skilled player with relatively few upgrades can manage encounters that will bury a lesser player with a far more upgraded character.
    -Animations are fluid and for the most part blend into one another very well, with only minor exceptions.
    -Overall, it feels much more immersive, enjoyable and unique than the vast, vast majority of open-world AAA drivel on the market.

    Also, bonus points for:

    -NO identity politics.
    -NO **** ironic millennial humor.

    There are far more positives, but I think this pretty well sums up the game well enough. Play it. Play this game.    … Expand

    This is the kind of game set in Japan I've been waiting for for years. Immersive, cinematic, beautiful, moving, and inspired by actual historical events (but not transformed into a cartoonish depiction).

The combat is extremely cinematic and makes you feel damned cool. Thank god they included a photo mode.

    The only downside for me is that some of the side missions feel a little slow and generic and that there is no lock on system in combat. Considering SuckerPunch is adding multiplayer and various other tweaks inspired by fan feedback I wouldn't be surprised if they add a lock on system at some point though.

    P.s. This game received its seal of approval from actual Japanese fans and even historians, so don't pay heed to the white knight western critics who think they know everything and that they're the beacon of hope and light for the downtrodden minorities who clearly can't stand up for themselves or formulate their own thoughts regarding this game. In other words, salty TLOU2 fans.    … Expand

This game was absolutely amazing, the gameplay is perfect, the swordplay is incredible and the game itself is in my opinion, the most beautiful game that i have played, the colors in some areas are just insane, you could literally just walk around (i did) looking at the incredible sights, the falling leaves, the huge terrains with flowers, the shinto shrines, everything is so beautiful and perfect, but at the same time can be dark and depressing depending on the mission which is good.
    The story is very good too, i enjoyed it a lot, it really does make you feel like a samurai and also as the ghost, the story can play with your feelings as you progress it and transform, you can feel the character and his struggle which is just amazing, very very good story. (please release some DLC or a sequel, a sequel would be amazing)
    The music is just incredible, its not boring or playing 24/7 which in this game, is good, being able to explore the island of tsushima while listening to nature sounds is a joy, however that doesn't mean that the times where music does play are bad, its absolutely fantastic, the duels are some of my favorite part of the game, and the music that plays whenever you go face to face against an opponent its just perfect.
    I played the game with the japanese voice track, in my opinion, its really good, it is a shame that the lip sync is only for the english voice track, however for me, it wasn't distracting or bad that i wasn't synced with the japanese voices, what i did find kind of annoying but very minor in reality is the subtitles, i do know a little bit of japanese and knew what they where saying, sometimes the subtitles are off, to give you an example: a character may say: “ ありがとうございます” “arigatou gozaimasu” which would mean thank you in a formal way, sometimes the subtitles were correct with this but sometimes it was completely off, sometimes the subs said “Thank you very much” which could be correct or “Thank you, Lord Sakai” which is off, as its adding words, sometimes the subs would even say something like “My life is saved because of you” which would be incorrect but im assuming that the subs are just ported from the english voice track so it causes errors on the translation, again this is not really a big deal, but it can get annoying sometimes, very minor.
    Other than that, i didn't experience any issues or bugs while playing, which was fantastic.
    I give it a 10/10, amazing, again, thank you sucker punch and sony for making this game possible, please keep making games like this one!.    … Expand

But unfortunately, is held back by a lot of open world tropes that are becoming tiresome.

    Overall, fantastic story that holds some heavy moments that drive the emotions hard. The voice acting is exceptionally executed, coupled with some of the best written characters ever. However, due to the open world format, the pace does suffer a bit, but not enough to detract away from the adventure.

    The visuals and sound are fantastic, the whole island of Tsushima is stunning and a joy to explore. Even the grind that has been introduced is a lot of fun, but again, suffers from the open world format. It does feel like a bit of a chore to run around and collect items, unlock areas, take down outposts etc. The in game activities do fit nicely with the overall theme, but is a bit immersion breaking when some are obviously 'filler'. With that all in mind, the game excels in the combat department. Don't get me wrong, it's more of the 'counter/attacker' game-play we are used to, but feels satisfying with the multiple stances that can be implemented for strategic value.

    You would be forgiven for saying this is 'Assassin's Creed Japan', however the story and visuals really do make this one stand out. Ghost of Tsushima does everything it is trying to do very well. It would have been nice to see some more realism or a little more innovation rather than sticking with the same open world gaming we are used to.    … Expand

    A game that graphically is up there with some of the best. The story is captivating but personally for me, the repetitive nature of some of the tropes of open-world games, can become something that becomes a chore to do and return to.

    Loving every detail in this game, the atmosphere in Japanese culture, every hit, every stance and move in this game is so satisfying, storyline is decent, the level design - the graphic is absolutely stunning, it's like the peak of the PS4. My only complaint is that they have done so much for the game but the lips sync system for Japanese is quite bad.

It has put an end to the recent bland open world games that have been released. Unfortunately I never got around to enjoying Horizon Zero Dawn or other games much because they felt like they were missing something. Ghosts of Tsushima does not feel like it is lacking anything, and it has me absolutely hooked. If you buy one game in your life, please either buy this or Titanfall 2 for the story.

The combat is extremely satisfying and the animations are really top notch. It makes every strike of the sword feel weighted and purposeful.

The combat is extremely satisfying and the animations are really top notch. It makes every strike of the sword feel weighted and purposeful. It rewards those who like to explore with items that can be found to further customize Jins armor, the look as well as amazing vistas and scenery. The fact you can play the majority of this game without a HUD just further immerses you into the game world.

    But a good game is nothing without a great and engaging story and this is where Ghost of Tsushima really shines. The story is fantastic and emotionally engaging. It does a great job of emotionally investing you into the main characters stories and Jins challenge with his Samurai honor. I don't want to reveal any spoilers so I will stop there.

    I honestly can't recommend this game enough and it's an experience that will stick with me for a long time. I am just looking for excuses to play it through again, here to hoping for a New Game +.

It combined elements from the usual "open world" dynamic with some perfectly new and unique features that I predict we will start to see a lot more as the next generation rolls in. A few things to note about this masterpiece:

    Graphics: 9.5/10 I cannot stress how much this pains me that it's not a 10/10,    All I have to say is, thank you, Sucker Punch. What an experience this game was. It combined elements from the usual "open world" dynamic with some perfectly new and unique features that I predict we will start to see a lot more as the next generation rolls in. A few things to note about this masterpiece:

    Graphics: 9.5/10
    I cannot stress how much this pains me that it's not a 10/10, but I have to be fair. The graphics are great, but I've noticed a couple clipping issues with certain outfits. Nothing huge, but enough to notice. Other than that, this game is stunningly beautiful from start to finish. You will end up with several background-worthy screenshots by the time you reach 100%, guaranteed.

    Narrative 10/10
    The main storyline is well thought out and creatively woven into Japanese history (much of which I was learning for the first time). The supporting characters get fleshed out beautifully and you end up with some very touching moments along the way.

    Protagonist: 10/10
    By the end, Jin Sakai will be one of your favorite video game characters without a doubt. For me, he's right up there with the Arthur Morgan's, Joel Miller's, and Peter Parker's of the video game world.

    Characters/Interactions: 10/10
    Like i mentioned above, this game is sprinkled with interesting characters throughout each Act. Usually, I hate open world side quests where it's just a cheesy talking-head-style conversation like "Help! I can't find my brother!", "Okay, I will help!" And I understand that this is just the nature of a lot of games, but I think GoT does a few small things that enhance these moments so they carry a little more weight, i.e. cut scene camera angles, multi-step side quests.

    Villain: 10/10
    Khotun Khan provides some of the game's best moments and 100% deserves to be mentioned in this review. The way that he is also fictionally woven into Japanese history is creative and effective. Well done, Sucker Punch!

    Cutscenes/Editing 10/10
    There's A LOT to mention here. Right out of the gate, you are blessed with an intro that is sure to give you goosebumps. Throughout, there's a couple battle scenes that give "Battle of the Bastards" a run for it's money (shout out the other GoT! Except S8). The atmosphere of the game really captures you at the most random moments, for example, the short cut scene and score before you begin a duel *chefs kiss*. I'm leaving out a lot of stuff here, but I'll let you experience these things for yourself!

    Gameplay 10/10
    The combat in this game is so satisfying. I'd put it right up there with God of War and Jedi Fallen Order, which IMO have some of the most fun combat in recent years. I love the fact that you have multiple options when approaching a fight. Most of the time, I took the aggressive approach and then adjusted if I found something else to be more effective. Also, the animations during combat are so f****** cool! There are a lot of little things that this game does well to enhance your experience too. Things like no HUD, petting foxes, impressive platforming dynamic, playing the flute, the haiku feature, etc. I could go on and on!

    Overall I'll give this game a 9.5/10 with my only (VERY minor) gripe being about the graphics and the clipping issue that I kept noticing. This PS generation is definitely going out with a bang with this one, and you will not want to miss it.    … Expand

    What a way to end the PS4's life cycle. the story is captivating the combat mechanics are some of the best in any video game. difficult but rewarding. idk what the hell is wrong with some of those critics giving it a 60.... this game is not a 60, a 95 at the very least.

    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.
