    Волшебная самурайская сказка, навеянная фильмами Куросавы. Завораживающие виды природы, наполненный открытый мир, без копипасты. Интересная и самобытная боёвка, адекватная сложность. Хорошо прописанные персонажи и истории, даже во второстепенных квестах. Продуманные удобные мелочи, мгновенные загрузки. Мир, из которого не хочется уходить.

    Great graphics, great music, great gameplay...I'm not sure what game some of the others are reviewing. Plus, I love screenshots and I've spent almost as much time taking screenshots as playing the game. Haven't bought a game in a while with the PS5 looming but decided to bite the bullet and get this. I loved the Infamous series and they didn't let me down. Love it!

    I never review games - I came to review this one.

    Pros: - Open world isn't a bunch of filler junk, it all feels meaningful and progressive overall. I HATE open world games! It's always "Please go collect 10 bear pelts whlle my world is burning". I LOVE this open world, though. Everything is meaningful and built into the story. Every place has a story or pushes you to a side-quest that    I never review games - I came to review this one.

    Pros:
    - Open world isn't a bunch of filler junk, it all feels meaningful and progressive overall. I HATE open world games! It's always "Please go collect 10 bear pelts whlle my world is burning".
    I LOVE this open world, though. Everything is meaningful and built into the story. Every place has a story or pushes you to a side-quest that feels meaningful and intertwined. It's not just "go hunt some robots for the hunters lodge because this is easy filler to build" - It FEELS meaningful. It feels like a good balance.

    -Combat and leveling is done right - Not just becoming a meat shield or hitting harder... you actually gain new abilities, get stronger, learn new things, and then can take down enemies using those new things. I LOVE how this intertwines with the story - that he needs to learn ways outside the traditional samurai code to defeat the enemies that have studied their ways.

    -Combat is done right. It's a fine balance between assassins creed boringness and not so frustrating as dark souls where you just die sometimes because there was a monster around that corner.

    -Story is well voice acted, I love where it's going, and I love the world building

    -I LOVE the minimalist HUD. Thank you. Finally a game that immerses you. A good HUD is often overlooked! The way they integrate pathfinding into the wind is a great example of getting rid of waypoint silliness.

    -Music and sound is amazing. The intersection between music and gameplay here has given me goosebumps multiple times. The score is top notch, one of the best I've listened to in a long time.

    -This game is THOUGHTFUL. In the story, at one point, his uncle says his father's spirit is in the sword and the winds will guide him. The waypoint system is by flicking up the touch pad and the wind guides you to your next journey. In real life, this story isn't true and the mongols were wiped out by two hurricans - KamiKaze - God's wind. They are having trouble with the Mongols because they know how the Samurai operate - and leveling is based on him learning new skills outside the way of the samurai to defeat his enemies by finding new ways to defeat their enemies. You don't get stronger through stats and weapons necessarily, but a ton of new cool skills that help defeat these specific enemies as you grow and learn about them - you level up by killing AND spying, etc. That is some top notch game design, and I continue to find gems like this as I play.

    Cons
    -They made some odd choices for the sake of the open world. I'm glad it doesn't take 10 years to travel across like breathe of the wild, but it's also odd that a peaceful village is a 4 minute horse ride away from an enemy fort. That DOES fit with the story, but you have to suspend your disbelief a little here for the sake of avoiding a ton of boring travel

    -no matter the language the mouths don’t match the words. They should’ve stuck to Japanese mouth animations and let the others just deal with it. It seems like failing all animation options was a poor design choice.

    -poor choices on where to “store weapons”. Just sling it around my shoulder or something. Whipping a bow out of your butthole seems silly.

    Most complains or cons are pretty minor so I’m not going to knock it down for these items

    Graphics
    10/10. Clearly one of the most visually stunning games we've ever seen.

    Gameplay
    9/10 Wonderful designed weaved in with story, not stupid bullet sponges, and not a bunch of crappy filler.

    Music/Sound
    10/10 - Amazing design and combinations

    Story/Style/Writing
    9/10 - Solid story, great presentation, very well done stylistically and clearly designed to a very deep level

    Every 0/0 review I see is "game is good but I hate waiting 36 hours FU metacrticic" Or "Game is good but it's not RDR2". Are you kidding me userscores? Get rela.    … Expand

Incredible, incredible story arc. The combat makes you feel like that badass wandering Samurai you've seen in all forms of media. Sucker Punch nailed it perfectly. I started as the "Samurai", rushing down all opponents, but eventually decided to play more stealthy as the game progressed and it enhanced my fun even further. Mixing the two styles just feels amazing. Relaxing in the beautiful world Sucker Punch created can legit be it's own form of meditation. The art direction here is insane. The side quests (which are not fetch quests and are very entertaining) kept me pushing for more. So much so, I was afraid I would run out of things to do. After just finishing, there is still so much left. There are some issues, like the camera at times, but it was really nothing compared to everything else. I love it.… Expand

    Jin's conflict itself is very interesting and a great base for a video game. It is one that allows us to explore, from a historical perspective, to what extent war puts us in an extreme situation in which we have to sacrifice our ideals. And if the sacrifice of those ideals turns us into another person, in the process. The premise is good and the game seeks to make you participate in this duality.

    Sidequests on par with The Witcher 3, a world as beautiful and immersive as RDR2, combat as engaging and satisfying as Sekiro (and very much it's own thing). Fantastic soundtrack, deep reverence towards Japanese culture/traditions, the best photo mode ever and so much more, Ghost is a strong contender for my favourite PS4 game ever!

    Ghosts of Tsushima takes the open world formula and fuses it with Feudal Japan to create an experience that is familiar, and yet still evocative.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 고스트 오브 쓰시마는 내가 2020년에 했던 게임 중 최고다.

    이 게임의 장점은 빠른 로딩, 전략적이고 재밌는 근접 전투, 맵이 없는 대신 동물이나 바람이 맵의 역활을 해주는 참신함(이 시스템은 다른 오픈월드에도 도입하면 좋겠다. 이런 시스템은 게임에 몰입을 한층 더해준다), 마치 전쟁 영화같은 수준높은 연출력, 높은 칼질 타격감,
    화려한 자연 경관과 동물 그래픽, 높은 몰입감, 1대1 칼싸움 전투라는 참신하고 새로운 방식의 전투, 젤다의전설 야생의 숨결(The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)을 보는 것같은 모험 요소이다.

    고스트 오브 쓰시마의 가장 큰 재미는 근접 전투입니다.

    그 정도로 이 게임을 하는 이유는 오로지 칼싸움이라고도 할 수 있을 정도로 전투 하나만으로도 충분히 할만한 게임이.

    드래곤볼의 손오공이나 나루토가 된 것처럼 날라다니는 그런 액션이 아니다. 마치 '고스트 오브 쓰시마'의 액션은 무겁고 철저하게 정적이고 현실적이고, 그래서 더욱 타격감이 뛰어나게 느껴진다.

    이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 '고스트 오브 쓰시마'는 강렬하고 진중한 가운데 화려한 액션을 선보이는 게임들 못지않은, 아니 그보다 더 강렬한 '칼맛'을 선사한다.

    이런 점들을 종합해 보면 화려한 액션은 아니지만, 오히려 더 실제 칼싸움 같은 박진감 넘치는 칼싸움이다.

    이 검 1번의 공격으로 내가 죽을지 아니면 적이 죽을지 모르는 언제 죽을지 모르는 그런 긴장감이 있다.

    '수준높은 근접 전투와 뛰어난 타격감' 딱 그것이다.

    그래서 전투씬 하나만 보더라도 실제 칼싸움 영화를 방불케할 정도로 눈을 즐겁게 한다.

    근접 전투는 무겁고, 타격감이 있고 전략적이게 재밌게 잘 만든것같다.

    한국, 외국의 모든 리뷰어들이 하나같이 근접 전투가 뛰어나다고 칭찬하는 이유를 알 것 같다.

    그리고 무엇보다 젤다의전설 야생의 숨결(The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)처럼 내가 실제로 게임을 모험하는 기분이 들어서 좋았고, 내가 쓰시마의 수호신이 된듯 한 기분이 든다. 쓰시마의 모든 자연과 동물들과 친구가 될수 있다. 플레이타임도 결코 짧지 않다. 게임을 플레이한 후에도 계속 할수있다. 그래서 이 게임을 한 번 하게되면 너무나 할게 많다.

    앞으로도 고스트 오브 쓰시마처럼 수준 높은 근접전과 뛰어난 타격감, 멋있는 영화같은 연출력을 보여주는 게임은 나오지 않을 것이다.

    이대로면 고스트 오브 쓰시마가 최다 2020년 최다 고티(Game of the Year)를 수상하게 될 것이다.

    The ghost of Tsushima was the best game I ever played in 2020.

    The advantages of the game are its fast loading, strategic and interesting close-up battles, and novelty in which animals or winds serve as maps instead of maps (which should also introduce systems to other open worlds). The system adds more concentration to the game with a high sense of stabbing, as if it were a war movie, as if it were a war movie.
    The colorful natural scenery, animal graphics, high immersion, and one-on-one gladiators are adventurous elements, such as seeing the "Legend of Zelda: Wild Breath."

    It's not the act of flying around like Sonokong or Naruto in Dragon Ball. It seems as if the work of "Ghost of Tsushima" is heavy, thoroughly static and realistic, giving it a more impressive feeling.

    Through this series of processes, "The Ghost of Tsushima" presents a powerful and serious "knife action" like a game featuring colorful action.

    It's not a fancy action, but rather a more realistic sword fight.

    This tension is on me, and I don't know if I'll die in this knife attack, or when the enemy will die.

    This is the first time since Sekiro that he has "excellent sense of high-level close combat and hitting." So I praise you very much.

    So just watching the battle scenes makes my eyes happy, reminiscent of a real sword fight movie.

    I think close range is heavy, aggressive and strategic.

    One can see why all critics at home and abroad praise the close race for excellence. And most of all, like the legend of Zelda (the breathing of the beast), I felt like I was actually enjoying adventure in the game, and I felt like I was the guardian of Tsushima. You can make friends with all the nature and animals in Tsushima. Playtime is never short. I can go on after playing a game. So I have so much work to do after this game. In the future, there will be no games like Ghost of Tsushima that show high-quality close combat, outstanding sword action, or cool film-like directing skills. At this rate, Ghost of Tsushima will win the most games of the year in 2020.    … Expand

From killing Monguls to return rice to a Peasant Woman (who lied about it being hers!) to going on a killing spree to avenge the death of an entire clan from traitors, this game has so many stories that really make you feel like a Samurai.

    I struggled with other open world games that seem to be HUD intensive and took your eye of the game environment. This game does the opposite. The wind and the particles of dust, leaves and flowers flow in the direction of the next objective. You can assign skill points to make this wind go to more specific things too, making this a collector's dream. The combat is insanely good. It is intense and requires thinking and speicifc styles (that are easy to change between) that you will get as you level up. The health system is also refreshing too. Overall, this game is what I would call the pinnacle of open world game maturity. It's like Sucker Punch played the best open world games and made this game like them but better. Everything about it implies that the game makers wanted a great user experience.    … Expand

    Summary:
    “What you see is what you get” and Sucker Punch has delivered exactly that. A rich, beautiful, fun and massive world to explore based on samurais and insanely detailed Japanese culture. I had no second thoughts on pre-ordering this game and calmly waited for the last half hour into the last second anxious to start the game.

    Visuals: 10/10
    Ghost of Tsushima is set during the first mongol invasion which on it’s own sets a very high bar for ANY historically recreated battles of any game ESPECIALLY foreign history. Sucker Punch has done an incredible job even with minor details such as Jin’s attire becoming muddy while treading through muddy trails and shallow rivers. I enjoyed riding to many of the missions and side quests with Kage (my selected horse) or on foot given how much detail was put into the flora and fauna such as deers, bears, boars and guiding birds.

    Gameplay: 9/10
    Even though Ghost of Tsushima utilizes a souls-like combat system with some unique elements such as stances that can easily break your enemies guard’s depending on their weaponry, it shows us that a good defense is sometimes the best offense which I don’t often follow and there were many, many times I have found myself out of health and resolve only to be finished off and trying harder the next time around. A bit of advice from me to you is that you MUST upgrade Jin’s arsenal as you progress or it will delay your progress quite a bit. Also, don’t believe the “clunky” controls negative reviews because the only thing I found frustrating about the controls were just the difficulty of switching from bow to bombs to bells and bow again.

    Story: 10/10
    Storytelling is often the bread and butter of ANY story driven game even to the likes of The Last of Us Part II which I feel was shoved aside in order to introduce new characters that failed to connect with the majority of audiences but I digress. This retelling of a fictional story in a historical event could be seen as a divisive experience but with incredible culture depiction of the settings it comes off as organic to me and just nails it perfectly. Being the last samurai of his clan, Jin must battle with having to break the code of samurai in order to defend the island of Tsushima from these foreign invaders and regain his honor. Sucker Punch has once again succeeded in making a great decision making game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I came into Ghost of Tsushima expecting a game based around the struggles of a lone protagonist and his personal war with an invading army with all the cliches of an old Samurai movie. I was given far more than that with this game. The combat is solid, simple yet complex, satisfying yet somewhat frustrating at times. The small details Sprinkled into this game absolutely round it out into a stunning 9/10 in my rating system. The game transports me onto the war torn Island of Tsushima, a now lawless place terrorized by the invading Mongol army. Walking the forests and country side of Tsushima gives off a fantastic feeling of being in a samurai movie with all the trimmings, from the open grasslands to the denser forests covered in fallen leaves. The characters Ive met on my journey are interesting and voice acted incredibly well in both Japanese and English. Traversal of the world is very good from the assassins creed-like way you scale cliffs and overlooks to the guiding winds which at first I thought would be an annoyance but Ive found it an incredible way to traverse rather than constantly having to stare at a mini map or an Icon on the horizon. It all serves to never break my immersion in the game and to keep me in this beautifully crafted world. I look forward to playing more and replaying the game once I finish. This game wins my personal seal of approval and everyone involved in its creation deserves a standing ovation and praise beyond anything my humble review brings. I bow to you all. And to those reading this I thank you for taking my opinion into account. I recommend this game HIGHLY. Find a way to play it. DEATH TO THE MONGOL INVADERS!… 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.
