    18 hours into the game and currently in Act 2.
    Beautiful game!! Huge open world map. Countless hours of game play. Historical accuracy, no forced agendas/ boxes that need to be checked off in the name of 'representation' that is being see in many of games as of late (and in my opinion, ruining them)

    A brilliant and perfectly-executed game that has a beautiful story told in an organic fashion. The voice acting (Japanese with English subtitles) is flawless, gives it an authentic feel - plus, in my opinion, it's a beautiful sounding language. Sucker Punch really outdid themselves on this game. Can't wait to see what they have for the future.

    Cons (I only have two minor issues):
    My first one is I wish the game was more graphic. You're using swords so I was expecting more than just an forearm to come off when you slice through an enemy; I would have expected all limbs and even heads to come off.
    Second one being the controls. Having to switch stances in the middle of fights, switching from half-bow to long bow, to the items you throw with your hand, etc. is a bit of a nuisance when in the middle of a fight, it's a learning curve.    … Expand

    It’s a single player open world game....we’ve seen it all before...
    But it’s so polished and well done, and the visuals are stunning (without also trying to be brave)!
    It’s a joy to play

    Definitely a huge surprise for me. I think one of the biggest things for me is how great the controls are, everything feels really refined and intuitive. I love how it doesn't aim for total realism like most open-world games do, because, at its core, Ghost of Tsushima is a phenomenal game.

This game is addictive and you will find it hard to put down your controller. So don't be like me, take regular breaks to rest your eyes, brain, and hands or else you'll easily end up playing the whole day sleep be damned!

    GRAPHICS: The game has stunning    Wow! A game that hits all the right boxes with a few minor flaws but even those cannot dampen the overall experience of the game. This game is addictive and you will find it hard to put down your controller. So don't be like me, take regular breaks to rest your eyes, brain, and hands or else you'll easily end up playing the whole day sleep be damned!

    GRAPHICS: The game has stunning visuals. I thought it would be hard to beat TLOU2 in the visual department, but here we are only weeks later. The environment, the grass, trees, water, all polished to please your eyes and enhance your experience traversing the island.

    SOUND: If you've played or watched samurai movies and games based on Japanese history, then Ghost of Tsushima knocks it out of the park. The wind sound as it blows through the environment, makes you feel like you are actually there. If there was a VR option for this game, that would've been awesome. The sword and bow sounds in combat, blood spurts, and other environment elements are common to what you hear in past great historical Japanese samurai themed games and movies.

    GAMEPLAY: This is where Tsushima hits a home run for the most part. You feel connected to the character. You grow and customize him as you progress through the story and complete missions (tales) as you explore the island. Learn new abilities, and stances to help in combat to make you the most badass samurai you can imagine in a movie or anime. Upgrade armor, equipment, and tools to get the job done of slashing, and piercing those evil Mongol hordes. A combination of elements from the old Tenchu games, Uncharted's style of climbing up and getting around the map, and the open world feel of games like GTA. All comes together quite nicely.

    STORYLINE: Coming off the huge disappointment of TLOU2's storyline, this game does the revenge theme correctly but with a very Japanese samurai like process. Defend your clans honor, avenge fallen comrades, choose whether to fight the honorable samurai way head on and face to face with enemies or sneak around like a ninja and assassinate your foes silently. Your character starts off kind of naive, but as the story progresses you see him mature and harden to the harsh reality of fighting a war of swords and bows against the most dishonorable fighters of the time, the Mongols. You are given a clear goal to achieve, and you are satisfied in the end to achieve it. Something that TLOU2's writers could've learned from.

    CONS OF THE GAME: My biggest complaint for the game is the lip syncing when using the Japanese dub. The lips do not match what is spoken. It could be that they synced it to the English dub but not the Japanese dub. It gets annoying if you focus on the face during cutscenes, but those who read the subtitles will probably not notice it as much. People who can understand Nihongo and play without subtitles will notice. There are also some AI glitches like enemies occasionally get stuck in pieces of the environment, but this is rare and hardly noticeable.

    SUMMARY: Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect palate cleanser to get the awful aftertaste of disappointment from playing TLOU2 which was released previous to this game. It has all the elements of TLOU but without the flawed storyline. This game's gameplay and visuals will keep you hooked playing for hours. Replay value is there for those who want to explore every inch of the island and get every item to be found. Those who saved their money and skipped TLOU2 and got this game spent their money wisely. This game is worth the money and time to play. This is the best game of 2020 so far. Looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077 to see how that does. Ghost of Tsushima has set the bar high for what a great game should be in this year.    … Expand

    The perfect closing to the PS4 era with a game that really shows what the hardware can achieve. Solid story, enjoyable gameplay mechanics and the fact that a western company got praise from Japan says enough of the care and dedication the team put into this game.

    The story is not particularly engaging for me, but it works nonetheless. I'm not going to spoil the story, but basically, you are put in the role of a Japanese Samurai in the feudal era, and you are tasked to drive the Mongol invaders out of Japan, starting from scratch.

    Visually, this title shines. Hardly you will find another title that delivers so much colorful and live environment like this game. The world seems and feels alive, and this is quite hard to accomplish. The wind is a used as a gameplay feature, but even if it's not subtle, still helps (or you can ignore it). However, interactions with NPC have something to be desired... Faces and expressions are kinda poor, and sometimes the interactions feel strange.

    All in all, even if i still have to finish this title, i can recommend it. Even if you're not really a fan of the Assasin Creed gamestyle (This game have some elements from it, and similar games), you might enjoy it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought the digital delux edition because i am a terrible human being who has to have it at the absolute earliest he can possibly get it and because im not a hack game journalist reviewer who gets paid to play.

    I do not regret my purchase. I have painstakingly taken my time, in each area, *except for finding singing crickets and banners, i'll do those later if i feel up to it. Before i touch a story mission, i'm chasing foxes for shrines. Searching for bamboo to fell. While you simpls played tlou2 and soaked in it's horrid nature, I honed my samurai instincts with massive button mashing and dark souls rolling.

    Let me say this, I LOVE STANDOFFS. I LOVE DUELING, ITS SO GOOD IT GIVES ME YEW WOOD.

    the game is not perfect in the sense of facial animations, for some reason (there are 3 in my household who have [purchased this game and are playing it, including myself) My Jin has a fault, whatever he crawls under (building or cave) he cannot exit it from the front. Meaning looking at it. He is i suppose quite frightened of what may exist on the otherside (like my destination) i must rotate him completely around 180 and then exit feet first. i do not know why, this has been a thing. I have also discovered that occasionally jin decides that i didn't really want to grapple a tree stump or branch and says YEET and i fall. But it's ok! i expect a bit of mud to slog through in games. I'm running for performance, so i'm not set for huge graphic up-scaling like my roommates do. I get to see it in real time both ways, and i can honestly say this world is gorgeous.

    Now i love a good story, and I'll be honest I generally do not give a damn about horses. I felt bad when my nobu died. I didn't give a crap about Bartzabel (he was my horse in red dead redemption 2) I felt immense disgust in the betray brought about by my childhood friend (who strangely was not female, or in love with me, as the anime trope goes)

    Let me state this. Not everyone is heterosexual. There are characters with varying sexual identities and preferences. it is perfectly woven in and not shoved down your throat like some current games do (THE LAST OF...) it makes sense, and is glorious. Strong female characters are taking a stance, however there is one that i do not like, and only because quite literally the woman tried to kill me, ME, HER FRIEND, WHO HAS BEEN HELPING HER FIND HER FAMILIES KILLER. Of course Jin forgive her, BUT HE DO NO FORGET. (yes i said do no.) This angered me as this is my Jin and i don't forgive you i'd very much like to kill you. However Jin says oi, don't ever try and kill me again.

    Good stuff.

    I love the story, the easy to see whats coming nature of it is alright and i can get past that easily because i'm (for the most part) in control. I can chase it as i please The thrill of finding a mongol encampment and the warning "YOU HAVE ENTERED A MONGOL TERRITORY OF OVERWHELMING POWER, RUN YOU WEAKLING FOR YOU HAVE NO CHANCE, also this is story related so no you cant come in right now" Even when finding these places, i still try to take them on, many times i do quite well, before succumbing to the phantom archers. I get it, and it's fun to try and push it. I force my way through some of them, instead of taking a long trek around them. I'm lazy and i wanna go straight forward, and so i do. often it would have been quicker to go around, but i want to go this way, and i will do it, even if it takes an hour. sometimes. a lot of the time. generally speaking always. This is not a reflection of everyones experience, i choose this, and thus implemented the struggle upon myself.

    This gameplay is good. Them graphics is phat. Those story elements are cliche! (and tasty)

    I love it. For all it's flaws that remind me it's still a game, for all of it's immersion that pulls me in and has me commited to complete everything without feeling forced to do so, because if you want to climb the shrine it's up to you. If you want to chase the fox, it's up to you, if you want to follow the birds and soak in a hot spring or find some swag to pimp jins look, it's up to you.

    i don't penalize this game because of the few bugs i've had, they are not game breaking and just minor in the grand scheme. this, like god of war are 10/10. I even enjoy the music, and i'll say it's disabled through normal play but the game has forced implementation in other areas, I'm one of those guys that hates it because it robs me of immersion. But this, it just works so well and helps to ease me in, rather than distract and take me out. I love it.
    This wont be goty, The media and shills wont let it, but damn it, i'd vote for it. (yeah, even against cyberpunk 2077, they delayed till nearly the end of the year. Well they can be goty next year. im delaying my vote. it still needs polish, ya know?)

    TLDR: Did not waste my money. can enjoy this game in Japanese or English. A RARITY. Story better than tlou2.    … Expand

    Good graphics, smooth gameplay, interesting characters and cool story. These are one of the many strengths of Gohst of Tsushima, in addition to the open world that is very detailed, especially the grass of the game. The negative points are that some bugs and textures on the floor are not very beautiful. But overall Gohst of Tsushima is an excellent game.

The one thing I would praise this game for above all other things I have mentioned is that it was without the trash that some other games have in them. This game had very limited profanity. No real nudity or sexual content. I applaud the producers for not putting that trash in the game. It definitely wasn’t pushing an agenda other than good wholesome content that was thrilling and memorable. I can also say this game has a very high replay value. I look forward to any DLC plans they may have.… Expand

    This game gave it's target audience exactly what they want. A great story of a badass hero wearing badass armor outfits with a fun engaging combat mechanic to fight invading bad guys. This game is the best way to visit ancient Japan as a samurai. I wish there will be more games like this that focus for it's target audience.

    This game is great, it has a rough and beautiful world, its gameplay is incredible, the only bad thing is artificial intelligence, it was a bit stupid, but the patch I improve a lot, 100% recommended game and best of all, it is not a sexualized game, it is for Every intriguing story that could be asked for more deserves everyone's support.9.5

    I had high expectations that this would be another horizon zero dawn for Sony and my expectations have been surpassed. This is one of my favourite games ever made. Is it technically perfect, no (slight clipping of feet here and there) but the story and gameplay are up there with the best. I highly recommend this game. If you don’t own a PS4, this would be worth buying one for.

    This game is beautiful. The combat is satisfying and does not get repetitive at all. The atmosphere is great. It has some bugs but I think they still get fixed before long. The ending made me cry. One of the most beautiful stories of honor, duty, and family i have ever played. Would be 10/10 if not for a few bugs. Wonderful game.

    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.
