    This game is absolutely a masterpiece. The only complaint I have is that it doesn't have a lock on system which sometimes causes me to lose the standoffs. The historical accuracy of this is incredible. The aesthetic is amazing. The game looks incredible and the multiple sidequests that are tales are each intricate and well written. Absolute banger and should be highly considered for gameThis game is absolutely a masterpiece.

    As a fan and interest of the Japanese culture, the Manga, the Samurai, the Art, Tattoos (half of my body is covered with a traditional Japanese tattoo), History and so on, I had high hopes in this game. Also I visited Japan twice so far. I bought an original Katana a few years back and have several books about Samurais and Japan. So I kinda know a bit about that country.

With that background, I loved this game so much. It has it flaws for sure, sometimes a bug, or a bad camera perspective ruined a fight. But, this game is about the moments, the beautiful environment, the story and the great and interesting characters in it. The design, the world, the fights and spirit is rly accurate. As much as I can tell as a fan of Japan. I think this is one of my top five games I ever played on the PS4. Good job Sucker Punch!… Expand

    PLAYED THE GAME TO COMPLETION ONCE ON HARD. TIME CLOCKED : APPROX 60 HOURS

    GRAPHICS AND ANIMATION: The graphics are something to behold in this game. For an open world title this truly feels like a next generation game, mostly due to its art style and beautifully rendered environments. The vegetation has never been diverse in any other game. Every frame looks like a portrait in this game. The animations may feel a bit rigid sometimes , especially after seeing motion matching tech in lou2. Overall 9.5

    SOUND, MUSIC AND VOICE: Truly incredible. 3D audio settings make the game sound as real as possible taking me into the forest. Music is also great. Voice acting is a bit rough around the edges. Lips dont sync at some cutscenes. Overall 9

    GAMEPLAY AND AI: The gameplay is truly spectacular. The controls are complex, pulling off insane moves are very satisfying. The AI in the game is a bit underwhelming especially when it comes to stealth gameplay. Even on hard the AI is pretty basic in some stealth sections , but doesnt detract anything much from the awesome experience. There is a good amount of mechanics and learning curve to the game. The gameplay variety is just mindblowing. Almost every mission has variety. The side stuff is where the majority of the enjoyable stuff existed for me. The main missions were mostly story set pieces and short if you dont do the side stuff. Overall : 9.5

    STORY: A very straight forward story with little twists along the way. The mini side stories were really intriguing and has a lot of references to 7 samurai and Rurouni kenshin anime. Overall 8

    PERFORMANCE AND STABILITY: The game has minor bugs. The player cant climb certain objects though they seem climbable. It might result in a buggy fall animation. The frame rate dipped on a base ps4 on some intense sections of the game especially towards the end. But nothing game breaking. Overall pretty solid performance on base ps4. 9.

    REPLAY VALUE: The game has high replay value because of the enemy variety and combat depth. Time to complete the game is also solid around 50 hours. Add in hard mode and the time is extended by 10 hours. Overall 8.5

    Incredible game! From start to finish, it’s a game where I found myself wanting to play more and more. Where towards the end where enemies that seemed so hard to kill in the beginning become so easy to slay at the end. And overall a game where you can feel like a true badass. 10/10 Game of the year in my opinion

    Fantastic open-world with beautiful graphics and awesome music. This game fuses game mechanics from Assassins Creed, Sekiro and Witcher but still has its own identity. What really surprised me was the story. It was very serious and asked deep questions. If you love the feudal Japan you have to play this.

    The game is gorgeous. The scenery is lush and the lighting is amazing. There are going to be a good number of people who are going to spend hours in photo more. The sword play is good and learning new stances allows for some variability. It's certainly worth a play. It feels like a proper send off for the PS4.

    The gameplay is enjoyable but I have some gripes, such as weird npc actions that is typical in this type of open world. Combat is fun enough but not my favorite. Some of the abilites that you can unlock feels like moves you should have unlocked from the start but overall gameplay keeps you engaged.

    The story is a bit traditional with average characters. Probably the weakest point at the moment, and from how much I played hasn't changed yet.

    The sound design is top notch. The sound of thunder and the wind blowing around you is very spot on. Voice actors are well acted in both Japanese and English. No real negatives in this category.

    Graphically, this game is quite amazing. There was only a few times where I looked at a scene in gaming and was excited, Final Fantasy Remake when you enter Sector 7 slums, Dark Souls 3 after you leave the catacombs, and then the majority of time in this game. Granted I did put The Last of Us 2 as the pinnacle of graphic on the ps4, but nothing about its graphics really screams at me to be in awe, as The Last of Us 2 is portrayed to be realistic, but if I wanted realistic I would just walk outside. Ghost of Tsushima is a game that blends realism with professional photography together. There is a reason why professional photography looks as good as it does, because they understand how to fix the lighting and color to be satisfying for the human eye. Ghost of Tsushima does that for basically the whole game. The graphics do have some faults however. Some animation such as weird lip syncs especially in Japanese and animation bugs pulls you out of it but the game pulls you back in with everything else once again.

    Overall this game is quite the achievement. If you love samurais and amazing graphics this is for you. The game is held back by average story and some some gameplay and graphic problems but As one of the last 1 party games on the ps4 I think this worth playing.    … Expand

    Seems beautiful and very easy to get into the open world element in the stylish sword play may make the world seem to much like the worst part of assassin's creed, but the twist of the japanise Ronin like adventure seems very innovative as it was only experimented with the star wars croma.

Combat is satisfying and requires skill the further you go. Great amount of enemy variants, and you can enter a battle with many tactical/strategic ways. Many unlockables such as weapon cosmetics and armors.

The developers made good use of the touch pad which we haven’t seen much of with the PS4 and I congratulate them for their creativity. At times the combat was kinda clunky but nothing really it flowed really well. Sometimes in enemy bases it was unclear where to go and the little wind icon would’ve been very handy to help navigate your way around. I’m keeping this short as there isn’t really anything bad to say. The game looks amazing and is amazing from start to finish, it’s kind of like a modern day Skyrim but in its own way. Overall really good I enjoyed every second and would recommend to anyone. 9.5/10

    At first, the game caused only one yawn and indignation from what he saw. But, nevertheless, after playing it for several tens of hours, you will really be imbued with the history of the protagonist and the spirit of that ancient Japan. The only drawbacks are the first act and the rather awkward camera controls. All in all, SP has a pretty passable game trhat closes the PS4 exclusive lineup.

    Beautiful environments, fluid combat system, historically accurate content. Ghost of Tsushima delivers a much needed update to the genre. The stealth system does need a little work and the graphics could be a bit more polished. However the promise of making you feel like a Samurai checks every box. All in all this is a great game that many lovers of Japanese lore and this time period will enjoy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would have to say that this game is just a beautiful in story telling, character development, and just the sheer beauty of this open world. I think that the main thing I appreciated the most though was the environment and the graphics for a console that has been out for a long time. I also enjoyed the whole combat scene. Although I'm not a big fan of the whole parry combat thing, i must say it is hard at first but eventually you’ll get the hanged of it and becomes a little boring/repetitive but its fine. The reason why it is fine is due to the story and the sheer amount of side missions/quests. Another thing that I really loved was the character development in the story. Jin in my opinion was my favorite character because you get to see him grow into this boy into a lord but sadly losing it and being a outlaw. Another thing about all the characters, is that all the characters were unique in there own way and not one character that was in the game felt like a boring character and wasn’t just a burden if that makes any sense. I also liked how you can enter into a base and choose how you want to handle this base like being stealthy or going all in. I found myself just riding around and taking my time with the game and never felt like I wasted my time. I also liked how you can learn new techniques as your legend continues to grow. However, one thing that I disliked is the camera. The camera for me was kinda janky if that makes sense and there was some bugs here and there but it is a VERY VERY small issue and isn’t that big of a deal. The message of the story was I guess you can say Revenge because Jin is trying to kill the mongols that took his land and killed his people but i’m just guessing and have no idea what the message in the story is. The ending in my opinion was very good and I like how the game gives you a option on to kill your uncle or let him live to which gives you some replay ability. Another thing I appreciate is how there isn’t any agenda like some other game that people like to compare this game to. Now i don’t have a problem with any SJW or anything of that sort but it just doesn’t belong in video games, and i think people forget what video games are suppose to be. A fun game where you can take your mind off of real world issues and just enjoy yourself. I hate how people like to compare this to The Last Of Us 2 to which I understand if you wanna compare the 2 games in the stories/characters and the characters development but other than that, its just unnecessary or immature. This is however a great game and is a great final exclusive for this console generation and is a great game for 2020 because MAN....did we need something fun and enjoyable this year of video games especially after The Last Of Us 2 came out.… Expand

Este jogo é um beijo na boca nos amantes dos bushido, cenários lindos , designer das armaduras lindas , skins das espada e armaduras ótimas , o modo fotografia e perfeito consegue captar bem e tem muitas boas opções , o audio do jogo do ambiente e algo muito bom e gostoso demais ficar explorando no jogo, conhecer os cenários , as trilhas sonoras do jogo é uma delicia , nao fica na mente como em outros jogos mais é precisa te passa a impressão de estar no cenário de batalha. Eu categorizo o jogo de duas formas na questão gráfica ele é incrível ,lindo no macro so que o jogo falha no micro e sem cuidado nas pequenas coisas o que entristece um pouco mais nao afeta de forma alguma a gameplay. E por falar em game play ele é completo demais o sistema de batalha é algo gostoso , parry, quebra de postura , troca de postura , resumidamente ele é uma união dos melhores sistemas de batalha samurai da geração atual. O steath e algo bom porem nao é novo a gente ja viu isso jogos dessa geração . O sistema guia é algo inteligente o vento como guia "é muito samurai" amigos joguem ghost of tsushima é uma obra prima do PlayStation não é perfeito tem seus bugs , suas quedas de frame porem nao é tão gritante nao atrapalha a gameplay… Expand

    Ghost Of Tsushima is the most beautiful game I've ever played. In the runnings for favorite game of all time. GOTY hands down.
    I'm a pretty critical individual and don't review games too often - Ultimately, I would say 9.5/10, but the execution and extent of what they've accomplished with this title is deserving of perfect marks.

    I'm a pretty critical individual and don't review games too often - Ultimately, I would say 9.5/10, but the execution and extent of what they've accomplished with this title is deserving of perfect marks.

    Graphics/aesthetic - Often times I found myself traveling through the open-world in astonishment of its sheer beauty. No 2 places look the same, and there is a massive dynamic to the geography of the land of Tsushima.
    This game was able to take me away to a kind of "happy place" w/o causing analysis paralysis. Incredible.

    Audio - I'm a big sound guy and the soundtrack wasn't anything too memorable to me, but it was still killer. I really enjoyed how Sakai's flute was incorporated into the game, albeit seldomly. The score definitely helped "get me" at the end when transitioning into the credits. Beautiful.

    Story - Was incredible. A couple of parts made me go "hmm plot convenience/hole?" but those were few and far between.
    The game is true to a samurai's tale, which was a huge deal to me.

    Characters - Great development from beginning to end.

    Gameplay - My favorite game mechanics to date (for the most part). I love not having to wait for stupid animations when doing menial tasks like collecting bamboo or picking up linen. This is something that bothered me with titles like RedDead2 and Farcry5... like... why do I have to watch the character pick leaves or skin an animal every time? I have things to do. Please don't waste my time.
    However, just like in RD2, this game allows you to approach most situations however you like (stealth/aggressive) BUT sometimes makes you handle certain tales specific ways, which can confuse gamers... Especially if they are stoned... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Combat - is killer and makes you feel like a legit samurai. Super smooth and graceful. The way you level feel clean and gradual as well. The only gripe here is a lock-on system would have been beneficial. Especially for indoor combat. But ultimately I found it so fun that I can't even start to complain about that.
    Standoffs and the last stance you acquire are so pimpin when used in succession*

    Conclusion:
    Bravo Sucker Punch. Bravo. This game is truly phenomenal.
    Can't wait to see what's in store from you guys next!

    Critics giving this game an 8.3/10 discredits their ability to analyze a game from a player's non-bias perspective.
    Ghosts better beat "tlou2" (which got a 9.4 meta) for GOTY or we'll know there's some shady stuff going on behind the scenes - That game was a burning dumpster fire. This game is a timeless treasure.    … Expand

There's also no lock-on system which I feel the game might have benefited a lot from it if implemented. there are times in the game where you're fighting and the camera stays in a position where it's very awkward for you to see the enemies behind you or next to you making you decide between pressing the right button at the right time or to get hit to move the camera to a better position

Gather collectibles, liberate Outposts that show you more of the map , investigate areas, and defeat all enemies. All of this so that you may increase your characters level in one way or another. If you come to play the game and enjoy some samurai style action and enjoy a visually and engaging game then this game is for you.

    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.
