Journeying through cliffs to reach a high up shrine, following foxes to your destination, or letting the wind or the birds guide you through the picturesque landscapes is always enjoyable. The lack of a mini-map made for more natural navigation. Combat is awesome, one on one duels being epic high points throughout the story. The difficulty of the non-duel combat is not overwhelming, but it tends to encourage you to embrace the underhanded tactics of the Ghost to come out on top, as opposed to "honorably" facing a horde of mongols on your own. The melancholy atmosphere of a people under siege is always present and while the game is not depressing or too sad to play, there are few happy moments sprinkled throughout the war-torn tales. Jin is a very composed man character, slow to show emotion, always trying to control himself, as are a few of the supporting characters. Others have very different personalities that shine through. I enjoyed the main story, if somewhat repetitive between Act I and Act II. I felt the ending was quite fitting and satisfactory. Overall, one of the best games I've played. Amazing final exclusive for the PS4.… Expand

The side missions were not boring at all. It was nice to have missions related to the supporting characters like Norio, Lady Masako.. etc. The strongest factor the game has is the beautiful sceneries I kept coming across as I attempted to discover every corner of the map. I noticed different changes in weather and landscapes from one act to another which is welcoming. Sucker Punch put too much care into the game and I thank them very much for it.… Expand

    This game really knows how to make you feel like a badass samurai, with the stunning environments and soundtrack. While there is a significant amount of filler and some odd but minor-ish plot inconsistencies, the unique mechanics and mildly addictive and satisfying gameplay makes up for it.

    Undoubtedly a masterpiece and a true love letter to Japan told by Sucker Punch.
    We can see how much impact it has, completely selling out physical copies in Japan.

    It loses one point for me for controls being a bit janky, and the battle camera isn't the greatest.

    If I were to break it down:
    5/5 Graphics
    4.5/5 Story

    Absolutely breathtaking vistas and beautifully detailed and textured scenery really draws you I to the experience. There is not even a hint of any errant grain or noise present in the image. The HDR is truly stunning in this game, probably the best implementation of it yet. Especially the colors, they've really gone all out in providing a vivid yet very realistic looking image. 2. The gameplay

    The gameplay is very enjoyable experience. The combat is really fun. It meets a nice middle ground between not being super tactical and meticulously planned but also more than mash attack and block like the recent Assassin's Creed games.

    You can plan out your character to be more of a traditional samurai or stealthier guerilla fighter. I was planning to go a ghost sort of playthrough since I saw it in state of play and how I normally play the recent Assassin's Creed games but I've actually found myself gravitating towards the samurai like build. The exploration is really the main treat here allowing you to organically discover places and characters without putting a giant waypoint and minimap on your screen. I really appreciate the more immersive ways if helping you discover your path to your objective. The gameplay isn't perfect however, with some minor gripes.

    For one, the game employs a sort of soft lock-on system for combat which is pretty good but a more focused option for locking onto a target would have been appreciated. Another small issue I take is in regards to weapon switching. You have the option to change your stances stances in combat with R2 which slows down time and let's you change your stances in safety. Switching your ranged weapons on the other hand is done with the same button that you use to aim with and it's pretty hard to smoothly switch tools in the midst of combat. Ideally, both would be able to be done through the same input.

    Overall the game has been a fantastic experience through and through and it's a fitting swan song to the end of the PS4 era as The Last of Us 1 was to the PS3.    … Expand

    I don't give this a 10 lightly and I more subscribe to the notion that 10/10 scores don't necessarily mean a game is absolutely perfect - more that its exceptional in my opinion in and has pretty much everything covered, with only the smallest gripes you might consider here or there - and even in those cases probably boil down to preference.
    For starters I am really happy that this game    I don't give this a 10 lightly and I more subscribe to the notion that 10/10 scores don't necessarily mean a game is absolutely perfect - more that its exceptional in my opinion in and has pretty much everything covered, with only the smallest gripes you might consider here or there - and even in those cases probably boil down to preference.
    For starters I am really happy that this game didn't turn out to be a Dark Souls type of game, not that I have anything against those, just that for me personally I'm terrible at those types of games no matter how much I practice, and I'm by no means a skill-less gamer, Dark Souls style simply isn't my strength. For me the difficulty feels fair, you wont easily take out scores and scores of enemies in a smallish location like you can in Assassin's Creed games however with careful and thoughtful execution you can still mix it up in a small skirmish of enemies - mixing a range of attacks like jumping from your horse into a strike on an enemy, throwing an explosive, shooting a bow and/or unleashing a flurry of strikes with your samurai sword for example. There is no lock on to enemy targets and occasionally depending on terrain and situation this has worked against me in a pinch, however I can imagine and experienced many more problems with constantly having to lock on to enemies in other games.
    The scenery and graphics are gorgeous, its surreal going from a lethal furious burst of a duel or battle scene to the peaceful experience of looking around and seeing leaves floating about, wind blowing, sunlight glistening through the trees and rolling hills.
    I have heard some negativity around open worlds, if a game is a great game and has good content I don't see how that can't be done well in an open world and for me this game succeeds. There are no markers etc and instead you get an organic feel with wind blowing in the direction you have marked on the map or the current tale you are doing guides you in.
    The progression system is rewarding and you never feel like you haven't earned something or get given things too easily or even too quickly. I began playing this game while having a lot of unplayed games in my back catalogue, or half played games, so only a few hours in although I was enjoying the cinematics and style of the game I wasn't rushing back to it, something I get with most of my new games, simply from the paralysis of having too much to choose from, however as I kept playing it, a few more hours in and I just found myself hooked.
    I have read some criticisms - one of which was the voice acting and story not being great. While I don't expect any technical marvel of a video game to also have a Shakespearean story to match, I have by no means found the story not to be engaging or to not care about the characters in it. While the voice acting of the main character and perhaps others can sometimes come across a bit bland, it could simply be a reflection of how they talked, the tone, and style of the time, its not immersion breaking to me to the point that I don't feel like the main character isn't committed to his goals. I highly recommend this game :)    … Expand

    Incredibly fun game!

    This game exceeded my expectations in many ways. The graphics are some of the best of the generation, and the story was fantastic. The free-roam aspects are fun, and, in my opinion, comparable to Spiderman PS4 with hidden collectibles and enemy hideouts littered around the Island. The Guided Wind mechanic is a great idea that makes the world feel alive and adds to    Incredibly fun game!

    With a AAA game of this magnitude bugs, glitches, and missing elements tend to stick out like a sore thumb. Unfortunately this game has its fair share. From small things like glitchy falls and clipping through objects to nearly game breaking freezes and crashes. Those bugs in addition with the lack of customization in Gameplay and Accessibility Settings really highlights the gap between this and other respected AAA titles.

    Ghost of Tsushima is great, but with a little more polish it could have been nearly perfect. This title could really benefit from some additions that many single player games ship with, such a button mapping, NG+, more specific camera settings, etc. Overall very enjoyable experience, 8.5/10.    … Expand

    Visually beautiful---maybe the best looking PS4 (non PC) looking game ever.

    Story is fun, even side quests give you a different fun adventure.

    Characters are lovable. (I only wish there would have been some romance in the story).

    Great gameplay, similar to Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed, and Horizon Zero Dawn...only with a Samari slant.

    The Picture mode is the best ever, you can get lost for another 10 hours going around the map taking pictures.

    The enemies are sort of hard, but not too hard. Just when I get over confident and feel like I am invincible, I get massacred by some low level grunt.

    AND THE BEST THING...Load Times are literally 2-3 seconds. WHAT!!! Yes, load times are like 2-3 seconds and when you die it takes you right back to the spot where you died. You don't have to play the entire section over to get back to the point you died at.

    The music and sound is perfect and very beautiful and peaceful.

    Huge map, maybe takes about 40-50 hours if you visit every site.

    And the tracking system with the wind and leaves and birds and foxes is just so innovative and magical.

    Did I mention the cool Japanese/Samari clothes and hats you can wear.

    Really anyone who loves this style of game and gameplay will love this game. You can go gangbusters in and destroy enemies face to face, or stealth around and assassinate them, jump from roof tops or even jump from your horse to assassinate an enemy, or just bow and arrow them to death, you got explosives and fire bombs and just cool finishing moves with lots of blood, or throw some firecrackers to just stealth right around them. So many many ways to have "FUN" you will never get bored.    … Expand

    Visuals are 10/10. Proof that extreme realism is not the end all be all when it comes to style. Got is artistic and reminiscent of HZD combined with the key colour aesthetic from Mirrors edge.

    Combat caters to all play styles, though of course being a samurai game sword-play is far more entertaining and cool. The stance system is well implemented and makes the early game levelling up particularly exciting.
    Hard mode provided a good level of challenge, though some bosses (duels) jumped up significantly in difficulty seemingly at random. Cheating ai (sliding across ground mid animation) was also a bit ridiculous and frustrating at times.

    Stopping this game from reaching an 8/9 for me was the repetitive and formulaic nature of the gameplay. Most quests follow a very similar pattern, and in the end almost always result in killing everyone via combat after tracking and following footsteps to their location.

    imo all it needed was a little more variety to break up the main pattern. For instance one quest had you needing to locate campfires quickly as to not freeze to death, quite different from the overall formula. Just a few more different approaches to gameplay would have made a huge difference in a game this size.

    Overall elements of greatness exist in Got, little things like bowing to the dead, playing the flute and sheathing the sword after the final blow add a lot to the immersion and samurai coolness factor. Changing outfits in the game really helped with character building and immersion and added a lot more to my experience than in most other games.
    The game is very stylish from the world, to the Ui and supporting artworks and if nothing else it is worth playing just to experience the world itself.    … 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.
