    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.

The quality is exceptional. The story is awesome. The side quests are so interesting that you actually want to spend time completing them all! Until now I never bothered with any side quest of any other game, period! Here I just want to do the side quests before jumping on the main story, so that the experience does end too soon! This game is more like a high quality TV series, where there is the main plot, and lots of awesome mini-stories that popup in each new episode. Trully amazing! I am not a hardcore gamer, or anything like that. I finished a few of PS4 major games this year: Doom Eternal, FF7 Remake, TLOU2. Until now, the three games that I thought were the most awesome of the generation were Death Stranding, FF7 Remake and Sekiro because of innovation and/or amazing story and graphics. I would shy away from praising TLOU2 too much because of too much controversy although the gameplay was really great and the story and graphics were also pretty good. This game, however, is something else! The medieval Japan setting is something that is universally loved. The acting is very high in quality. The game is just fun to play. I am surprised the critics gave this game a lower score than it deserves. The game is definitely the best way to end the generation. Ghost of Tsushima is open-world done right! It is probably the best open-world game ever made. It's probably the best medieval Japan samurai/ninja game ever made. In sharp contrast I would put Days Gone, which is open-world done wrong. After recently trying Days Gone I decided maybe open-world sucks after all, but then Ghost of Tsushima comes along and proves that you can do it right!!! OK enough, please go ahead and play this amazing game.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima es mimo y belleza a cada frame que pasa. Para mí, el mejor juego de la generación tras haber pasado por TLOU, GOW, HZD, Days Gone, RDR, Zelda BOTW..

No es ni mejor ni peor, tan solo es una aventura que vale la pena jugar para disfrutar de todo el contenido de calidad que te ofrece. No quiero entrar en Spoilers con la trama pero desde el inicio, si te gusta el cine Samurai, lo vas a disfrutar como un niño pequeño...
    El contenido secundario me parece soberbio, excelente. Narrativa profunda en relatos cortos y medianos con variedad entre si. Claro que muchas veces el objetivo será el mismo: matar mongoles. No tendría que parecerte raro puesto que.. está la isla a medio conquistar. En general muy contento con este apartado. Gráficamente tengo poco que decir porque ya se ha visto todo. No hace falta que todas las texturas sean ultra nítidas para lucir unos entornos tan cuidados y tan bien inspirados en los entornos orientales. Para mi es un espectáculo visual constante.
    Las mecánicas de juego son básicas pero funcionan a la perfección y si bien es cierto que en combate la cámara puede tender a fallar enseguida cojes el punto a retroceder y buscar un buen ángulo. Quitando eso, el combate me encanta y es adictivo entrar como un Samurai hambriento de sangre mongola!! La mecánica del viento es super intuitiva y menos engorrosa que gps o flechas menos orgánicas. Además lo bonito que queda entre los campos de flores.. Jugando en difícil la IA se resiste bastante mas, aunque en sigilo sigue siendo un poco torpe. Sin duda recomiendo jugar en dificil si tienes un minimo de habilidas con los videojuegos, a medida que vayas mejorando te divertirás mas. En definitiva, el juego está lleno de historias, gente, lugares, enemigos y paisajes enormes y preciosos.
    Si disfrutas jugando e invirtiendo tiempo en juegos largos... Sumérgete en Tsushima porque vale muchísimo la pena!    … Expand

In the beginning of the game assassination is a but clunky but as the game progresses the mechanics get a lot more flushed out and stealth becomes a joy as well.

    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!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am so happy with this game which is a must-play undisputed masterpiece of its own, that I played from launch day and haven't take a rest since then. You have to experience it. This game is not only for "play", is to live it. This game stands alone. It is not an Assassin's Creed "copy" whatsoever. I have played 12 AC in my life, both Altaïr-Ezio era (counter easy game), Edward-Shay-Arno-Jacob-Evie (enemies queueing to attack you once you are ready with a long killing animation after pres X), and the RPG era (Origens, Oddysey and the need for leveling up) and Ubisoft would dream of doing something so well crafted on regards this combat system. It's so random, so unexpected and changing, you have brutes, ferocious dogs, heavy shield armored enemies, double blades, katanas, spears, archers, and all in a mix of everything can happen. You will be killed in seconds if you are not in focus. Standoffs are uniques. You have 4 ways of clashing swords and you have shinobi abilities. This game also cannot be compared to Sekiro. I have played Sekiro (platinumed, it's in my top 5 of beloved games, 7 NG+), so I acknowledge that Sekiro is yet harder, but Ghost of Tsushima has its own way of satisfaction. Boss fights are epic, fast, agile, strong, and intimidating but in a human way. You won't fight a big dragon here, nor a big monkey either, yet you will be stressed with the boss fight pace as in Sekiro, but If you die, you won't lose your progress points as in DS/Sekiro, and you can play GoT in story-easy mode. I'm playing blind (haven't seen a video at all, and in hard mode). It drags you down to his immersive word with no effort, but again the combat system!, I'm amazed! For normal enemies, you have to play safely as you cannot engage with 3 guys at the same time (however you can do standoff and there is an update that will allow you to make an amazing streak with it, but this is your choice, not the games one). On the verge of having your blood pressure about to explode and your adrenaline at its peak, yet you reflect and have time to chase birds and foxes, pray and pay honors, write poetry and take hot tube bats. It is so well scripted, the missions are insane, so unique stand-alone scripted with historical accuracy. It's the perfect fantasy. A strong community is now being born, people wanting to play honorably (hahaha), others wanted the easy stealth approach. I'm playing a mix of if with my eyes closed. The game forces you to play stealthy some missions, others as an honorable Samurai. This is the best way from Sony to say goodbye to the PS4. I don't know what else to tell you, people. I'm just lost in this playthrough.… Expand

Also the loading times are so quick and I heard they actually made loading take longer than it could have in order to give people time to read the tips. My two favorite things about the game are the use of the wind rather than the minimap and the combat system. The wind allows the game to feel more immersive and rather than spending half your time looking at the waypoint you can enjoy the game for all its beauty. The combat is extremely polished, fluid, and realistic. It feels like I’m actually using a sword. Also there is something really fulfilling about use the stone stance to take down a duel wielding enemy than switching to water stance to kill a sword user and then rapidly firing an arrow to headshot an archer. One of the most enjoyable combat systems in any game I have played. Also a small thing that I really lived when your following and nod and start running they will run as well and if you get on your horse they will get in a horse as well. No more slowly waiting for the Boca to finally get to their destination. Only big complaint is the camera. It can get a little wonky at times and I’ll be fighting but only staring at the wall of the building but you get used to it over time. Lastly I really don’t like how many reviewers were upset about this Japanese game being made by an American company. I consider myself extremely left and it just seems like a dumb thing to nitpick. If anything this game shows extreme appreciation for samurai culture and is also mostly based on movies rather than actual live events.

    1) The combat is great. Its simple to pick up but takes a long time to master. There are do many techniques and abilities to u lock and so much variety in the way you can tackle battles

    2) Loading times are virtually non existent, even with fast travelling. Genuinely talking under 2 seconds everytime and I'm playing on a regular PS4

    3) Side quests are great. No filler crap, they feel just as meaty as the main game stuff. Sometimes I genuinely forget if I'm on a main story quest or a side quest because the quality is just the same

    4) This is personal preference but I adore the setting, the style and so the story and characters within that world

    5) The map is just the right size (not too big) and exploration is fun. This is helped by the fact your horse handles better than any horse I've ever had in a game... Unlike the horrible horse controls of RDR2. The map feels so full, no vast empty spaces like BOTW. You'd struggle to go in any direction for more than 30-60 sec without bumping into a new town, an NPC, getting into a fight, finding a shrine etc

    I was pretty tired of open world...i must admit that i started this game with not much hype about it. I even stopped after 1-2 hours. Then i took my time and damn i was blown away. I want to explore everything i got hooked to the game badly to the point that i always want to play it and discover its world. Good f job !!!

You are actually carrying a sword not a wooden stick where you are slapping the guy haha .. so far I been playing on hard they kill you in a few hits .. you gotta time your blocks and Perry attacks.. armor is customizable .. and skins and colors you find everything in game !! Not dlc which I think is amazing . The photo mode is beautiful.. I ran in to a lot of side quest And side quest are their own mini Stories!!! Not fetch quest !!!. I don't see anything locked behind a paywalls .. Honestly I think it is the best samurai game on the market and most authentic ..combat is probably the best I seen in a new release .. The game got different features an authentic Kurosawa mode which gives it that old black and white samurai movie feeling even the audio changes full Japanese voice over,.. similar games always felt too button mashy .. ghost offers a change you barely see they actually made a sword feel like a sword .. you are not beating an enemy with a wooden stick .. .. enemies differ from different fighting systems and subtypes of the same style . You’ll encounter two people with a shield but one may fight a bit different then the other .. different stances work on differ opponents .. timing and pacing your self is important .. Ghost of Tsushima offers an experience that is worth looking in to must buy .. truly this is an amazing game… Expand

    A great game from Sucker Punch Studio! Everything about this game is awesome! I usually go for Japanese voice acting in games (like FF7 Remake) and anime, cause I've always felt they bring out better emotions, but this games English voice acting was top tier, and stick with the entire game.

    The game has some technical problems with character movement and texture, but nothing that spoiled my experience. The combat mechanics are incredible, especially when playing in hard mode. The set of scenarios, application of winds and historical period create an incredible immersion! It was an incredible experience and I look forward to more games like this or even a sequel!

Anyone who rates this game lower than a 8 has the IQ of a wet blanket. Far better than the Last of Us 2, which isn't saying much considering that game was trash

    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.
