    I waited 2 whole years for this game and it was so worth it. What an absolute masterpiece. The only thing that would make it even better is a New Game+ mode.

    Instantly Hooked. Smoothest Gameplay I've ever experienced. Soothing Environment. Not too deep but an Amazing story(which we expect from a good game). Thankyou Sucker Punch. This Game will help me to forget the disaster of a game I played a month ago.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game ever, I have been playing video games for almost my whole life and honestly this is the first game in awhile (since maybe when Bioshock released) that I've played that has really immersed and amazed me. This is the most beautiful looking game i have ever played, i caught myself just sitting and looking around the world many times instead of playing because the scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

    The cut-scenes look stunning and are well directed and acted for both the Japanese and English voices, however lip syncing was done for the English version so it looks bad with the Japanese audio so there's that. The game-play is addicting, managing to be challenging enough without feeling unfair, feels satisfying when you are able to take on groups of enemies parrying and changing stances on the fly especially without taking damage.

    The stealth for me was serviceable if not a little easy however it feels like something they can patch and fix, luckily i didn't have many problems or bugs like a few others may have had.

    The narrative is really intriguing if you are into Japanese samurai culture and even if you aren't this game may get you interested, each character is well written and believable, especially the protagonist Jin who's actions throughout the game conflict with his samurai code, his way of life and cause problems.

    The side content is unique and just as interesting as the main story and if you love collectibles this game has you covered in spades with many of them spread throughout the map. The costumes and weapons as well as the skins you can get for them are really well designed and fun to collect too, first game in a long time that doesn't charge you for all the cosmetics.

    All in all this is a game well worth it's asking price, filled with fun content, a stunning world to explore, great game-play loop, respectful to the culture and history it is portraying (taking inspiration from classic samurai films by Akira Kurosawa and the like, loved Kurosawa mode) and is a perfect game to end this generation of PlayStation on. Sucker Punch made something special here and really gave their all so they deserve great praise for it. Only thing i hope they add in is a New Game Plus+ mode where you can replay and keep all cosmetics, upgrades and collectibles to have a fun and chill, cathartic play-through.    … Expand

One of the endings is sad,emotional,and heartbreaking, that just shows how much effort they put into this story.The combat is very huge even though most of the combat is like from games like the Batman Arkham series,Sekiro,Assassins Creed series,and The Witcher Sucker punch made it work,and make it look smooth and better in my opinion.The game may need a few improvements like some glitches need fixing,way points need to show when you are raiding or sneaking into Mongol camps when trying to destroy catches or freeing birds and also they needed to add a toggle aim like in Assassins creed and the Witcher so I can know where to fight the enemies,but other than that the game is GREAT 10/10.… Expand

I knew it existed and that was it. But I started the game and the intro captivated me. Fire rained down from the skies as brave samurai charged their most dangerous enemy yet and they killed them without mercy. Then I actually played it. The combat is refreshingly unique. It has some Assassin's Creed influences, but the stances you can choose from to counter specific enemy types, the combos, the unique moves, it's amazing. The customization of armor appearances, weapon appearances, and even your horse's saddle is excellent and each pattern is uniquely Japanese rather than being a generic Japanese pattern that so many other games have fallen into using. Each color palate for the armor and weapon choices was made with loving detail.

    It's not perfectly historically accurate, but it uses a historical setting to write a fictitious story that is both realistic and enthralling. The characters feel unique. Jin feels a bit single-minded in the first act, but this is well-balanced by various characters such as a master archer and a woman who had her family massacred and a thief who helps him from the start. They teach him various lessons and he grows as a character as they grow. The dialogue is witty and some characters are truly gems.    … Expand

    Quality game with breathtaking visuals and combat that never gets old. Story lost me at some points but ended on a high, setting up for future installments. One problem is obviously the repetitive fox shrines and other checklist material that stands out as a negative in most open world games nowadays. But this game is brilliant and stands alongside TLOU2 as a powerful send off for the PS4!

Story is divided into 3 acts all with carrying the weight are the characters brilliantly voiced by their corresponding voice actors. The world is brimming with content and wholesome stuff like Fox shrines, poem writing and aswell as satisfying combat which is sooo sooo good that ema single mistake can cost you a lot. Later on you will discover the power of making an effort to make most of the encounters a risk/reward situation for yourself. I recommend everyone giving this game a chance. It is GOTY for me and i have no regrets at all about pre ordering it a few days ago just before it's launch. Bravo Sucker Punch Productions! You ended the PS4's era with a banger!!… Expand

    Found myself leaving the horse behind most of the time and just running everywhere as not to miss locations and the beautifully created world ..

    My advice leave your horse alone as much as you can and just run every where fast travel is great but just exploring the world makes the game longer BUT so much more fulfilling..

    Story/story’s are great and meaningful

    All and all a amazing game hope to see more from sucker punch like this

    Truely worth a high rating not like some other PlayStation exclusives “ cough cough”

    Incredible game! Many trolls compare it to assassin's creed but the difference is like night and day. Open world environment, main quests and side quests keeps you entertained for hours. Sure some side quests are repetitive but not to the point of being exhausting like AC. And there are varied stories and situations behind these side quests.

    Ghost Of Tsushima is one of the best games out right now the visuals are incredible, story is well written, and memorable characters. Open World has a variety of options from doing side mission to retaking a farmstead from Mongols, composing haiku's. The combat is great but the camera can be really finicky at times. All I can say right now is buy this game this game is worth every single cent.

    People have said the game aims for historically accurate I disagree, its overflowing with modern-day sensibilities and many woke watermarks: lot of "Strong Female Characters". The SFC make up almost half of the main characters, keep in mind the game takes place in feudal Japan a country with an almost fanatical social caste system. Jin the main character is a bit of a mary Sue but his character quickly develops through out the main story. In all, SuckerPunch made a great game and its worth the money. I genuinely look forward to sequels and or DLCs, in short its an imperfect game but fun.

Regardless, I found myself losing track of time whenever I played this game. I have not been so immersed in a game in a long time. I genuinely enjoyed it and loved riding on my horse viewing the beauty that this world had to offer. I fell in love with the combat since it had a similar parrying system like in the old assassins creed games. I love this system due to the fact that you can have some insane moments where you can just completely go on a tear and cut down your foes in style. From my experience, I will definitely be playing this game again on a harder difficulty once I have done every side quest in the game. Story-wise I really liked what they did in the ghost of Tsushima. What the Mongols do throughout the game is gruesome and horrific which built up my anger and hate towards them. I found myself connecting with people affected by this war and I was saddened by the personal experiences civilians went through in this game. The gameplay is enjoyable because there are so many ways that you can kill your opponents whether that is stealthy or just straight-up fighting or shooting down your enemies. The graphics in this game are breathtaking. I love the art style in this game and love the sound of the guiding winds and how realistically the environment reacts to the wind. I love that you are able to go through this entire journey through the shoes of a samurai and experience the gruesome times that were brought by the Mongolian invasion.… Expand

    Рекомендую играть исключительно с японской озвучкой и включенным режимом "Куросава" в настройках экрана. Про высокую сложность тоже не забывайте!
    А вообще, завершающий эксклюзив PS4 по своим механикам дико похож на безупречено доработанный старый добрый Assassin's Creed. Тот самый Assassin's Creed, который мы любим, а не MMO RPG с уклоном в псевдомифиологию.
    Из минусов: пустой открытый мир и плохая режиссерская работа над кат-сценами для побочных квестов.

Battle part is great but need little work on camera side, plot and character personality is on point if you consider they are Japanese on that sentry.

    Have only played as a hidden Ghost rather than a fully honourable Samurai, and its great fun figuring out the best ways to get into a camp and confuse the enemy. Do I stir up a hornets nest to cause panic, light fires by taking down lanterns or just sneak through the camp and use the roof tops to drop down on unsuspecting foes. The combat is really good. Have heard people mention Arkham Asylum, and yeah, can see the similarity.
    The open maps are done really well, big but not too big that you spend forever getting somewhere with little to do on route. (My one real complaint with Red Dead Redemption 2). Theres also lots of little things to find whilst travelling, from healing springs, hidden shrines and even spots to write poetry.
    The game does not do any one thing brilliantly. It has really good graphics, very pretty, but not the best. Good, fun combat, but again, I have seen better, good stories and side quests, but when everything is brought together, its also doesn't have any poor points, so ties up in a truly brilliant and fun package    … Expand

I found myself taking screenshot after screenshot of the most captivating sceneries from glorious sunsets to ferocious storms to calming waterfalls and swaying flowers in the wind. There are several different biomes throughout the game which allows for everything to remain fresh and frankly breathtaking wherever you are. The gameplay is fresh, responsive, rewarding, and makes you feel like a total badass. The stance mechanic really opens things up and creates a new level of depth that always keeps you focused and never stops being a blast to play. The plot is a strong and emotional story that allows for the player to easily step inside the shoes of jin sakai; a protagonist that blossoms and grows immensely throughout the story. His cast of supporting characters are, at times, arguably just as strong, believable and well rounded as he is. This is especially fleshed out with alot of the side content. The character tales are all worth playing through. They all build into an unexpectedly satisfying conclusion. The mythic tales however, are some of my favourite moments in this game. They provide for new moves and different sets of armour etc. This alone is a wonderful reward for these beautifully crafted tales although, some of the most magnificent setpieces as well as some of the most epic duels you'll find all game reside in these quests. Altogether, ghost of tsushima is packed to the brim with epic, fun, exciting, magnificent and beautiful moments that go toe to toe with some of the all-time greats in gaming history. The lows can be counted on one hand while the highs surpass the hairs on my head (no, i'm not bald). A wonderful platinum experience. Thanks for making 2020 better suckerpunch.… Expand

There are some things that could have been better, but only small details that don’t take away any pleasure or immersion you get from the game. Knowing that Suckerpunch isn’t a developer like for example Ubisoft, with tons of money to invest into their game (without actually doing it lol) I can forgive them for the few glitches or other minor flaws the game has. This story and gameplay just reminds me so much of what games used to be like. FUN. Without an agenda, without doing what “should be done”
    Sure this gameplay has become “old” to some critics. But I love it.
    For example how they handled the jump system in this game. It actually feels dangerous because you have to aim carefully where you want to go. Instead of pressing one button that takes you anywhere without dying. This makes it less cinematic, than AC’s freerunning system for example. But are looks really everything?
    It reminds me so much of infamous, but with falling damage. I do wish it actually had more of the infamous freerunning to it. But with falling damage of course. That just makes it feel more dangerous and you don’t press one button all the time like you don’t have a brain. I have played tons of games like this (Assassin’s creed) that were boring af. Same old side quests, same old “climb tower-leap of faith” BS
    Somehow Ghost of Tsushima is intriguing, and it had everything to do with the story and how they filled the map with sidequests that are fun and innovative. Suckerpunch has never disappointed me with the Sly Cooper or Infamous franchises. Even though they added diversity to their cast, with both female and non-white characters. (Infamous)
    It never felt forced (like in TLOU2) I hope they continue to create games like this that look and play gorgeous! Would love to see Suckerpunch up there with the big companies. Insomniac did it so why not?    … Expand

    The    After seeing all the announcement videos for this game, I expected much more than what I experienced once I played the game. Visually, the game was not as impressive as it looked to me in the trailers. It does not have bad graphics, it is quite a pretty looking game but it has actually a better artistic design than the actual graphic design, which we experience in the final product.

    The game has a very nice Japanese atmosphere and colourful landscapes and fields full of dancing flowers to ride through. But, where the game disappoints are animations. Lip syncing is not that brilliant and horse movements and walking/running animations do not really look good. The world tries to be pretty and exciting and it certainly is for the most part but at the same time it feels deserted and dead with some very similar occasional small events and quests that you can run into. I know, I said it too many times but Red Dead Redemption II showed a very nice and creative way to make a lively world full of interesting side events that almost never get old. In this sense, Ghost of Tsushima is far from that.

    One of many great things about this game are loading times. The game loads very, very fast. Fast travel is done in only a few seconds. Another nice thing is navigation through the open world. Once you mark your destination on the map you can close the map and while riding a horse you will notice the wind blow in the grass or between the trees that actually points in the direction of your destination. If you are lost you can use the touchpad to make the wind start blowing again. A really nice little thing.

    All in all, I did expect more but I have to say that Ghost of Tsushima is fun to play and observing it as a whole thing - it is a fine game. It puts you in the shoes of a samurai on his quest to reclaim his homeland from invaders. The game has RPG elements, a skill tree, and plenty of different movements and skills to master and use in countless combats and duels across the land of Tshushima.

    The story itself is nothing special. Another quest of revenge we all saw far too many times, unfortunately. Still, I enjoyed playing.    … Expand

    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.
