    What a great game! I loved the story and was very immersive. It had some very touching moments that made this game shine. Combat was amazing, and the art style and graphics were beautiful. The open world was one of the best I've seen done. GOTY so far for me but waiting to see what cyberpunk will bring.

    An amazing game. A beautiful world with some of the best graphics I've ever seen. The side quests are great for the most part with a few generic ones. The Combat is amazing.

The Combat is amazing. Don't let people say that this is just an easier Sekiro or an assassins creed Japan. It's not, it has a combat system that feels new and like nothing I've ever played before. Don't let people call it Assassin's Creed Japan. The combat is far deeper and more fun. The world isn't some generic Ubisoft world with markers everywhere. It is inventive and there aren't really any other games like this. People also don't seem to like the story and think Jin is boring and generic. The story is a great tale about a samurai rejecting the samurai code. At first it is a bit boring, but it gets better as it goes on. Playing the side quests to give context to the world also adds more to the story. Jin is a more silent strong and introverted character. He seems like he has a true Japanese samurai's personality. I think he is seem as boring by some because he is more silent than a Nathan Drake, Aloy, Ezio, or Geralt. I think if this series continues with him at the helm in ten years and after another game or two he will be seen in the same light as Kratos. He will be seen as strong and silent with an interesting past and an uncertain future. Playstation 4 has some great exclusives (Persona 5, The Last of Us, Nioh, God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, Spiderman, Persona 5 Royal, Until Dawn, Uncharted 4, Days Gone, Blood Borne, and of course Ghost of Tsushima) this is some elite company, but Ghost is my favorite PS4 exclusive. It is just an amazing Samurai story that truely immerses me in futile Japan. Expand

    Great story, great gameplay, absolutely realistic with Japan history and culture values. The only downside might be how graphic is not completely realistic, however, possibly they made it that way so it feels cartoonish or even a style that wasn't meant to be real.

    This game is incredible. From the first few cinematics of the game you can immediately see the hard work put into bringing Tsushima to life from the tall grass, the flames from the aftermath of a battle, the blood of fallen warriors, and the simple details like sweat dripping down a man's face or the expressions on a character's face.
    Overall the game has a very real Assassin's Creed/Red

    Overall the game has a very real Assassin's Creed/Red Dead Redemption type feel, but in a good way as it makes you familiar with the gameplay which is extremely easy to pick up in the first two minutes of the game. The controls are easy and very quick to understand which I absolutely loved especially when it comes to the combat and sword fighting.
    Speaking of that, the combat mechanics in the game are absolutely amazing and the different sword fighting styles that bring the game to life are absolutely next-level. My favorite part is how you simply make the game your own whether you choose to go stealth, or face the enemy head-on in an absolute brawl. The little details as well, where after a fight you can use the touchpad to allow Jin to wipe the blood off the sword? AWESOME!
    This game's story was also a big step up from other titles as well as you get sucked into Jin's story of proving himself a honorable samurai and his duty to save his uncle. As a son who recently lost his father- I felt every moment of Jin's story and the challenges he faced. Start to finish the story was great and the ability to pause at any moment to go explore and enjoy the open world was by far one of the best features as well. You didn't feel like it was very linear and you were told you only had ths approach and "this" direction to go, unlike other titles *cough cough*.
    I will say this game may be my current favorite for game of the year.

    Pros:
    -Visuals and every detail down to the environment
    -Combat controls and fight mechanics
    -Fluid and well-written story from top to bottom and side missions as well'
    -Customization and character development in skills and abilities to suit your style
    -Well driven open world with plenty to do and explore, FOXES ARE COOL!
    -Executions and stealth kills were impressive.

    Cons:
    -Clunky at times while riding on the horse, but nothing too overboard that ruins the feel for the game.
    -Certain cutscenes where the dialogue and character movement appear to be off.
    -Absence of the HUD made travel a challenge, but the wind mechanic was pretty tolerable.

    Overall I scored this a 9 out of 10 on replay-ability, the visuals and gameplay, the sound is amazing, and the story arc as well as features of this game are fantastic. This game is a 100% must-buy.
    Congrats Sucker Punch!

    This game is pretty friggen sweet. While personally it doesn't remake the open world genre. It is just so fun and immersive. I love there is no mini map or hud. It let's you really drink in the world with your eye balls. My two biggest quibbles would be that stealth is meh, while itis fine it feels kinda generic and the camera. Grrrr.

People compare this to Assassin's Creed, and it has similarities, but it is SOO much better in a lot of ways for me.. The combat is 1,000x more fun, I NEVER get tired of it, and the Standoffs are fantastic, a lot of times when I am roaming an Open world game, if i see a group of enemies I will avoid them(unless I am grinding for XP) in this game I fight ALL challengers, and thoroughly enjoy every encounter. I just played a Siege mission, and it was one of my favorite missions in any game i've ever played. The one on one Boss battles are wonderful, they are soo cinematic, and I wish there were more!! My only qualm is I wish there was one or two higher difficulties, not as hard as Sekiro and Dark Souls, but perhaps a Very Hard/Ghost Mode that is somewhere in the middle of this game and those games. And the camera and targeting could be tweaked a bit, But the positives FAR outweigh the small amount of negatives!! We DEFINITELY need a New Game Plus!! I will buy ANY sequels or DLC instantly, my GOTY for sure.. Expand

The Ghost of Tsushima has stunning graphics, awesome gameplay and a storyline full of struggle but always intertwined with hope. It was fun to develop as a character and having to choose between the samurai code and the way of the ghost. If I had anything bad to say about it ... well, I just didn't want it to end. I'm giving it a 10 because I am not a game critic/reviewer. I loved the story, the gameplay and had a blast. And I thought the game was worth the $60 spent. That's good enough for me to give it high praise. Expand

    I haven’t quite finished the main quest line yet but I’m about 2/3rds of the way through and I thought I would write this review while waiting for my PS4 controller to charge. I have been playing this game almost non-stop since its release.

    If there’s one word that could sum up this game it’s fun. It’s much more than that, but I haven’t had this much fun with a game for a long time.

    If there’s one word that could sum up this game it’s fun. It’s much more than that, but I haven’t had this much fun with a game for a long time. Ostensibly this appears to be an Assassins Creed with a Samurai theme with familiar open world tropes, but when its executed this well it is so much better than that. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous – I’ve used the photo mode in this game more than all other games I’ve played put together. The art design and the vivid colours are at times breathtaking.

    The map isn’t peppered with icons everywhere that usually signify cookie cutter side missions that are needed to level up, instead they are kept to a minimum as exploration is greatly encouraged instead of merely going from point A-B. Side missions are as much fun and quality as the main quest and they are varied and interesting - much time and effort has been put into both. There are no clumsy intrusive lines showing you where to go instead you follow the wind, foxes or certain birds which show you the way to missions, or places of interest. A simple but brilliantly effective idea of maintaining immersion. Every point of interest has a purpose, whether it’s to increase health or increase charms.

    But it’s the combat where this game really excels. It can be as simple or as complex as you wish. With four different sword techniques that you can change mid combat at will, and with multiple move sets per technique, it makes for some impressive and visceral combat. Bandit camps are no longer the tedious level up method deployed in AC games instead, because of the glorious combat, they become something to look forward to.

    The game does have a few minor quibbles; there are probably more bugs than there should be – though I’ve not encountered any game breaking ones, and the camera needs a lock on, too many times it got caught up behind a bush or obstacle meaning you can’t see, sometimes meaning you lose the fight.

    But overall this game is absolutely superb and the more I play the better it gets as it reveals more of itself. Without question, so far this is my game of the year...by some distance.

    Lovely soundtrack. Wonderful japanese voice acting.
    Combat system is so much fun. Also the attention to detail: the sound of rain inside a Mongolian tent, the realistic drag marks of corpses in the sand or Jin's hand touching the flowers when walking through a meadow. Also the ability to "write" Haiku adds a nice touch. The "Kurosawa mode", or Samurai Cinema will effectively turn your game into a 50s samurai movie. This is perfect for fans of the classic samurai films.
    The story is really good, it starts slow but will get better later on.
    Can't remember the last time I cried during a videogame.

    A worthy end to the PS4 era.

    This is sucker punch’s best work to date , apart from lip syncing issues and a average story everything else is a masterpiece from the next gen graphics to the exhilarating combat to the progressive smart a.i and finally a world u couldn’t have imagined that could ever be made this immersive in a video game . Well done sucker punch. You earned your spot among the top dogs.

    Ghost of Tsushima is how an AAA samurai game should be done. It capture the vibe of ancient japan very accurately. After the mess of the last of us part 2, this is a breath of fresh air of gaming. AAA developers should take notes, focusing make a great game, instead of pandering into those SJW craps.

    better 'assasin's creed' than assasin's creed. If you enjoying this type of gameplay- go on and play it, its awesome.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the best game I have played in 2020. The combat is downright amazing and once you begin to master it you feel like a Samurai killing machine.

The foliage and trees sway around you and the lighting effects are second to none. Sunsets are a joy to behold and I don't think I have ever used photo mode as much as I did in this game. The story can be a bit cliche at times but I am a huge fan of Samurai lore and have been ever since I read Shogun in 7th grade so I eat this stuff up. I experienced very few glitches while playing and load times are some of the fastest for any game I have ever played. I could go on for hours about how much fun I had with this game but I will just finish by saying after the rough year we have all had Ghost of Tsushima was the breath of fresh air I needed. Expand

    Very simple.. better than expected, unlike the last of us part 2. Fun but deep meanings, ingame atmosphere is fantastic, long story which is not boring nor repetitive, makes you understand how a samurai thinks, it drags you into Japan’s 13th century way of living and most importantly no SJW and LGBT stuff.

The intros to the boss battles are reused, I see what they're intent was, do know that the actual boss battles are different based on the fighting style of the boss. The reused boss intros- is kind of a bummer with the game providing so much creative content, it's each to spot when something is repurposed. You will have to farm for materials like supplies, which getting anywhere from 1 to 24ish, when you need hundreds, this process can get old. Love the historical background this game is based upon, is amazing to feel like you have been transported to the 13th century. Overall, anyone who knows anything about gaming will know this game is in contention for game of the year. Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a unique game. Visually, the game looks so beautiful. The environments are so vibrant and full of energy. This game by far has the best Cinematography ever. Filters,Color Saturation, and light projection choices made by the director and the cinematographer adds to the story a different flavor. The Music in this game is so melodious and blends well with the visuals. TheGhost of Tsushima is a unique game. Visually, the game looks so beautiful.

The Music in this game is so melodious and blends well with the visuals. The Skill tree actually makes a huge difference in the game. As you progress through the main story, the AI becomes much smarter and stronger which forces you to upgrade you skills, armor and weapon. The combat in this game is unique. It’s neither hard nor easy, but you have to master the techniques to face every type of enemy. The side missions aren’t boring at all because they extend from the main story. I only raged during the combat because I’m not really good at it, but turning the difficulty down will did it for me. I give this game Graphics 910 , Storytelling 910 , AI movement and combat 1010 , Level design 910, Audio and Music 1010 Expand

    Positif :
    - The beautiful landscape
    - Nice Dubber
    - traditional japan simulator
    -The Deepest side quest storytelling
    - Kurosawa mode
    - This is a game about japan without bringing japan pop culture

    Minus :
    - Unsync between japan dub and facial mouth

    Great gameplay, it is really fun to play but the story is not that great, Masako's tale was better than the Jin's tale.
    Characters not interesting.
    Easy to play even on hard.

    Good game to play without thinking of anything, just play. 8/10 it is enough.

    Now, this is the game we wanted this year, great story, great gameplay, a massive map, and samurai :D

    It's pretty, colourful and when you just want to spend time wandering around you know you have an amazing game in your hands.

    Would have been a ten if there were fewer glitches. I'll be replaying this again.

    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.
