    The story in Ghost of Tsushima is having a mixed feeling from its player base, but for me personally, it has a very solid character base, which are both interesting and intriguing, main missions are amazing, as-well as your allies ‘tales’ (although short),but... the random side quests that you can find scattered around the map are just not interesting enough. They feel repetitive, uncreative, too short, and unmemorable in total, which is a shame truly.

    Enemy strongholds and camps are unique and hand crafted one by one, and it feels rewarding completing all the bonus objectives and collecting everything the camp has to offer. From technical point of view, i find it impressive that SP managed to deliver this amazing experience in a 47 GB package. I would say this is a very solid purchase if you find yourself loving samurai tales, or wanted Ubisoft to create AC: Japan (Ghost would be way better in my opinion).    … Expand

    After playing for a week, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima has the most enjoyable open world gameplay I‘ve ever experienced.
    There are multiple brilliant design choices (guiding wind, no unnecessary animations or things that would reduce the game flow) and the whole game is designed to fit the theme of being a samurai. I‘ve never been frustrated while playing GoT (looking at you, RDR2,    After playing for a week, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima has the most enjoyable open world gameplay I‘ve ever experienced.
    There are multiple brilliant design choices (guiding wind, no unnecessary animations or things that would reduce the game flow) and the whole game is designed to fit the theme of being a samurai. I‘ve never been frustrated while playing GoT (looking at you, RDR2, with your cool animations that get boring when they sum up to be hours of the actual gameplay and all the annoying stuff relating to riding a horse – by the way RDR2 is still one of the greatest games of this gen, nonetheless).

    Usually this game would be a 9/10 but it deserves 10/10 points for multiple reasons:
    – Having the most beautiful open world I‘ve ever seen
    – the best and most satisfying sword combat system in all the games I‘ve ever played
    – brilliant design choices that contribute to a fantastic experience
    – best photo mode & quickest quick travel ever
    And what surprised me the most:
    – The best quest and exploration system of all open world games, build around a decent story. It's literally the first time I've focused more on side quests than on main quests. In other games, doing side missions or exploring the world before completing the campaign disrupts the narrative experience. In Ghost of Tsushima, all quests are very harmonic. And the Mythic Tales are my favorite side quests of all time.

    If you want you can do some nitpicking, so here are the minor aspects with potential for improvement:
    – cutscene transition
    – enemy AI
    – lip sync (only relevant for english language)
    – storytelling could be more emotional (probably the biggest potential for improvement)
    – camera handling (lack of lock-on is not the issue, I'd say it's better this way, but sometimes you just see a wall instead of your fight and the sensitivity should be higher)

    Purchase recommended?
    Whoever is interested in or likes the setting or samurai in general, will love this sublime open world game!

    Thank you, Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    Observação: Nunca me dei bem com jogos de mundo aberto, sempre os achei cansativos e com mapas chatos de explorar. Mesmo assim joguei todos famosos, como TW3 e os novos AC, mas por exemplo não aguentei zerar RDR2 de tão entediante que é.

    Ghost of Tsushima é o primeiro game do gênero que realmente me prendeu, além do mapa ser maravilhoso é super divertido explorar e descobrir coisas novas, as quests míticas são simplesmente incríveis.

    Um dos momentos que mais me chocou no jogo foi em uma situação que aconteceu fora de quest. Eu decidi subir em uma montanha bem alta para ver a paisagem, e quando cheguei lá duas mulheres se encaravam. Não tinha qualquer marcação de quest no mapa naquele local, e nem mesmo o somzinho de local de interesse. Pensei que as duas não fossem fazer nada, até que eu cheguei perto e uma delas disse que elas queriam fugir da ilha e me mandou olhar pro horizonte para ver o barco dela. Dei uns 4 passos e fui até a beirada da montanha e não vi absolutamente barco nenhum, e aí o Jim logo falou "Não vejo nada" e eu já achei estranho mas ri. Pois bem, virei a câmera pra voltar pra mulher sem muito entender o que estava acontecendo e ela simplesmente matou a outra com uma espadada, e logo começou uma mini boss fight (ela era bem rápida e aguentou bem mais hits). Eu fiquei impressionado porque isso não era nem side quest, foi algo que eu vi uma única vez no jogo e totalmente opcional e surpreendente.

    E esse é o mundo de Tsushima, cheio de coisas para descobrir e te surpreender.    … Expand

The story is absolutely amazing it’s shocking yet hits you with theses well developed characters, even the side quests are filled with character action and most importantly a good story overall. The game looks absolutely beautiful without any doubt one of the most beautiful games out there, not only that but the soundtrack is top notch seriously outstanding. The open world nature is also done extremely well, the game always makes you want to explore the entire world which is amazingly the main focus.

While there are few gameplay features you have to wait a while to see, there are so many that you can enjoy right away. You can put your technique points almost anywhere you want. Also, I really like the story. And the side quests really feel like you're doing something of importance. You're trying to build an army. The only real fetch quests literally took a less than a minute to do. You're not looking all over the map for something someone wants.

    The only small negative issue that I have found after playing for about 25hrs is that sometimes in battle the camera ends up behind something that dosent turn invisible like in some other games so you can't see what you're doing, but one quick evasion move solves that & the designers may have chose to make it that way for whatever reason...so I'm not sure that wasn't intended?

    This could be my favourite game of all time. It is certainly up there with them.

    Everything about this game oozes class. The combat, the story, the beautiful visuals and the stunningly haunting music score.

    I dont want to play this game ... I want to live in it. Bravo Sucker Punch.

    TLDR: Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most beautiful visually and enjoyable gameplay-wise open world games that I played in my life. Read firuther for the details.

    Now, I will say right away that for me "10/10" is not a "perfect" game. For me, it means a game that pushes the boundaries of the genre, basically read it as "as good as it gets" score. The reason is - I haven't once in my    TLDR: Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most beautiful visually and enjoyable gameplay-wise open world games that I played in my life. Read firuther for the details.

    Now, I will say right away that for me "10/10" is not a "perfect" game. For me, it means a game that pushes the boundaries of the genre, basically read it as "as good as it gets" score. The reason is - I haven't once in my life played a game that could be called Perfect, and I don't expect to, but that's not a reason to never give a game a 10.

    First, let's adress the least controvercial thing: the graphics. GOT is the most visually stunning game that I EVER saw with my own two eyes. Being a software engineer that works with graphics, I am blown away by how they could achieve that on a PS4 hardware. I have no idea if it's technically the best, but VISUALLY, in terms of art direction and how the engine realizes that - it's THE most beautiful games that I've played EVER. It's a masterpiece.
    I will share one fact to just demonstrate how good it is. This is the first game that I'm actually making screenshots for several times a day. I never felt the need in any game before. Here, these screenshots look like works of art, and you see beautiful scenery on every corner IN GAME.

    Now, onto gameplay. It's good.
    It's a bog-standard open world game, with camps to conquer, collectables to find and climbing puzzles (shrines) to clear. It's nothing special, but don't get me wrong - while it doesn't make any innovation - it is incredibly well-made. It is really enjoyable and not frustrating at all to chase the side activities.
    The combat system makes it all the better. This is again a first for me - I actually find myself stopping for every randomly-spawned bandits on the road to kill them, because I enjoy the combat so much. I will note here, however, that the game is extremely easy, especially if you use ghost tools in combat. It's outright TOO easy. For me, that's not a huge deal, but I could see it being a problem for others. Personally, I simply enjoy it for what it is, but I wish there was a higher difficulty settings and that ghost tools were useful, but not so overpowered.

    Onto the story.
    I read several reviews that criticized the story for several things. One review mentioned that all the characters are very serious and there's no comic reliefs save for one. They feel like the same character, the review said. The other review mentioned that the story is nothing special.
    And it's all very close to truth. But I don't think that it's a detriment here - but that it's actually good.
    The story is your standard "I will destroy enemy forces that invaded my home". It doesn't give you any WOW-moments, and it's not a narration that you will remember for it's engaging plot twists and amazing plot devices. But it is a very solid "serious" story that gives you the goal without any moralizing or cringe moments. I find so often in games that in order to entertain the player they start to make silly jokes and make you do silly things that are fun but unrealistic. Assassin's Creed, for instance, has A TON of cringe moments where you feel like it's made for under-10 kids. In addition, games like virtue-signalling nowadays, and start including "gender equality" or stuff like that, as well as tons of morals about value of friendship and being nice to each other...
    None of that here. You're a samurai, you care for your people. There are mongols that are Bad. Go kill. End of story.
    And really, it's a breath of fresh air. It doesn't need anything more, because the core gameplay is so enjoyable that the story doesn't need to do anything but just give you a direction to go to.

    Onto the Characters. I thought they're good too.
    Again, they're criticized for being too serious. But that's a good thing, because they fit the world extremely well. I don't think they are the same at all, but they ARE indeed all no-nonsence (except one). It makes total sense in a state of war, and it serves to keep the tone of the world consistent.
    Nowadays in games, studios often make each next character very distinct, giving them over-the-top traits, personalities, and carricature appearances. There's nothing wrong with that, but I feel that there's merit in having a realistic story with real-looking people too.

    Finally, I'll address the tone. The world of Tsushima is rather dark, and it doesn't shy away from realities of war. People are tortured, women are kidnapped, peasants are starving, and the roads are littered with corpses lynched by mongols or murdered by bandits. But all of this drama is a backdrop. The hero and the player remain separated from that, and it doesn't make the game feel depressive. Quite on the contrary - everywhere Jin goes, he gets to make everything a bit better for the people, and it feels nice.

    In conclusion, this is a definite MUST-BUY game on PS4.
    For me, this is a GOTY so far. We'll see how Cyberpunk goes.    … Expand

    I havent finished the game yet, but I have played about 40 hours, doing a lot of side stuff. The graphics are stunning for an open world game. The main story is good, they didnt reinvent the whell, but games dont need to try to do that every single time, it is a good story. The side quests are very good too, and the mythical ones ar great.

Dont use kurosawa mode (black and white) mode on a first play, the game is too beautiful for that.

    Ghost of Tsushima hit all the right marks and presented a story that was compelling, along with a lush world that pleases the eye. The more I played Ghost, the more I continued to think about it. While some of the game's mechanics can take away from complete immersion, Suckered Punch was able to capture a lot of the qualities most people love in a video game. Loved it.

    This game is THE samurai game I have been wating for such a long time. The combat is simple to control but truly brilliant. It really does feel like you are actually being a samurai when playing it. Not too light and not too heavy. Story is a bit generic but decent enough for me to keep playing it. All the collectable things in this world doesnt go waste. Must play game.

    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.
