    I realize 83 isn't a terrible score but I can't see how you rate this game lower than a 9/10. Definitley a GOTY contender.

    One of the best PS4 exclusives , this is PlayStation studios's first open world a la Ubisoft type game and as all the rest of the PS exclusives were hailed as best in class in their own genre , sucker punch nails it masterfully with a majestically beautiful open world with top tier sword combat and with tons to do .

    Невероятно красивая игра! С момента релиза играл в нее сутки напролет, а когда надоедало бегать по сторонним квестам и зачищать карту, то сюжетная линия с своим эпиком возвращала мой восторг на ту де планку!

    Have you ever dreamed of being a samurai which sole purpose was to defend his own country in a time of tumultuous warfare? Well then, you're in luck! Look no further and buy Ghost of Tsushima (a videogame which some might even consider a work of art given its absolute stunning beauty) and be the badass the world deserve!

Sometimes I spent a lot of time taking photographs here and there, since the world that SuckerPunch built is actually very beautiful, its cherry-trees, waterfalls, flowers, animals, everything in this game deserves to be immortalized in a photograph. So, go buy this game, take as much as pictures as you can, enjoy its story and have fun killing mongols in the 9th century.    … Expand

During standoffs, the camera chooses poor angles hindering your gameplay. I have lost too many standoffs because the opponent was blocked by an object or partially hidden in grass/snow/trees/etc. The other major issue is the length of dialogue. For the first half of the game the cut scenes are mostly quick and to the point which was great. But then it starts to drag on and on in conversations I wanted to just skip. Strange how the pacing of the first half was not present in the second. Other than that it is one of my favorite games of the year.… Expand

    I've played Ghost of Tsushima over 20 hours, the game has plenty of content, im constantly distracted by the environment, the game is gorgeous. Everytime i plan to do a main mission i get distracted by others stuff like side missions etc... The game tries to keep you hooked, fo real.
    I like the new open world design approach, Sucker Punch did a good job creating a world that tries to encourage you to explore. Im not going to spoil you anything but i really do recommend you guys explore the world. Because if you dont explore the world, you'll miss alot of cool stuff. From cosmetic to new abilities etc...

    The Combat system reminds me of Assassin's Creed: Unity. Its quite challenging tbh. Its not Dark Souls level of difficulty (Thank god) but its fairly balanced. You have 4 types of enemies with each their own fighting style like spears, Brutes, Swords & Archer... The way you counter their moves is by using different Samurai stances, its a neat feature and you can upgrade each stances, again you need to play the game to unlock the new stances by exploring the world and doing side missions.

    However. The game does suffer from the same open world formula, the game has some random encounters like bandit trying to block the road and fight you. Or the mongols attacking you out of nowhere etc... I get it, sucker punch are trying hard to make the world a bit more interactive but it gets repetitive after 10 hours of play. Tbh thats my only downside of the game.

    Overall: I think its worth a buy, i really recommend you buy the game, its a massive world with TONS of content, the combat is really fun & challenging. Sucker punch made a big leap from Sly Cooper, Infamous & now Ghost of Tsushima. Ggs Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    Absolutely beautiful environments in game. Combat is fun and intuitive. Story is fulfilling. This is what gaming is about relaxing and having fun. If you can only play this game or another recently released ps4 exclusive then I say this game wins hands down. Sucker Punch should be commended for their effort in delivering such a great experience.

Its not a Asassin Creed skin like many said is has is own rhythm . The photografy is amaizing. I feel very inmersr in the traveling. Just play the game now

Only negative thing I say is, why didn't wasn't this game out sooner. What a great way to end the PS4 only exclusives. Looking forward to seeing what Sucker Punch release on the PS5

The contrast colors and care that went into every patch of field on every corner you turn is unparalleled to how other games expand their world by what looks like copy and paste. Coupled this with an amazing combat system that adapts with your skill level growing as a player is innovative to how you approach each enemies, as to oppose getting more health and stronger, though these are present here, the game challenges you by forcing you to be a better player and utilizes your brain rather than repetitive button mashing. The story stays true to its world and history, and is easily conveyed to the player. Characters are okay and you do care for them and their quests. The few gripes I have, is the touch pad to trigger wind guide, flute and other emojiis, it is easily triggered just by accidentally Brushing it with your thumb. Some obstacles you have to climb, such as trees and planks are not responsive, and you have to jump on it in order to get across gaps. Other than that, this game went well beyond my expectations and is a breath of fresh air considering the massive disappointment The Last Of Us 2 was. Bravo Suckerpunch.    … Expand

    This is a great open world game when you can explore all Tsushima Island and find interesting stories all around. The immersion is great because is story, music, cinematic and characters. The weak point is the textures and some points the game does not explain you where is a determination point.

    Ghost of Tsushima es una sorpresa muy agradable. Con mucho contenido y secretos que valen la pena. Combates que sí presentan un reto y por lo cuál explorar y mejorar las habilidades tiene sentido. Con una historia y no recuerditos regados por el mapa. Sin armas repetidas por todos lados para rellenar. Con verdaderos combates de jefes.
    Un mundo hermoso y variado.

    This game was really what I never knew I wanted, until I got it. Personally, I have a deep love for japanese culture, so this game was really a no brainer for me. I watched a few clips to see if i like and then pre-ordered it.
    Before I say what I like & don't like, I'd want to add that Sekiro, another game focused around jap culture with similar combat etc etc was my 2019 goty.

    Before I say what I like & don't like, I'd want to add that Sekiro, another game focused around jap culture with similar combat etc etc was my 2019 goty.
    Alright, let's go. I like the story, combat, exploration, visuals and the overall feel of the game. Combat is spot on for me, as a dark souls fan, I thought the cimbat wouldn't be appealing, I couldn't be more wrong. Combat is rewarding, it got a great feeling when you hit those combos, parry an attack or deflect.
    Exploration is something quite unique with this game, having the wind guiding you towards the location you marked gives a binus to the enviromental storytelling.
    Game offers a lot of things to do, but unlike other open worlds, the locations have a meaning. You'll be liberating outposts, meeting vendors, following animals to get to secret locations, and do other various activities while actively getting rewards either in form of progression or items.
    Visually, the game looks stunning. It may be the best looking game available for PS4. Colors and the enviroment are in perfect balance and they complement eachother.You can actually see particles of all kinds in form of leaves falling from trees, embers and ash spreading in the air, rain drops and so on.
    Story is really well written, I'm not gonna comment on that.
    Overall a great game and experience, it's a step forward for SuckerPunch as they did a different kind of game, and they managed to make a masterpiece. This game goes beyond what makes a game and it truly achieves the rank of art. 10/10    … 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.
