    Game is incredible in every-way from the story to the art style and even the combat is so satisfying

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A beautiful lush open world with innovative exploration and stunning visuals. The feeling you get when riding through tall grass with the sun shining is breathtaking. Sucker Punch made a game that deserves praise and something different in the already tiresome and stale open world genre. Though they're sticking to what works they're not afraid of implementing new ideas and their own spin on it. The combat is satisfying from your first upgrade to your last and puling off a perfect parry makes you feel like you're invincible. Story and arc is where it became tedious and I found myself more invested in some of the side mission compared to the main story. By the end of the game I had killed off more roaming Mongols then I found fun and it felt like a chore. I experienced some bugs and glitches that took away the immersion, some more game breaking then others. The game also lacked that first party polish you expect from a first party studio. Having your cape fluttering inside houses, birds flying around me in battles or simply just getting stuck only to dissapear when I was following them got annoying after a few times. Overall a good and enjoyable experience but far from one of Sony's best games this generation.… Expand

    I am typically a COD gamer, but a few open world map games catch my eye from time to time. I saw this game, read the story line and from the minute my hands touched the controller I was immersed in this game. The story line was amazing. Fast loading screens. Often on games you are left feeling like you are running out of resources. I never once on this game felt that way.

    They also managed to keep it manageable, there is not a crazy amount of combos that you need to memorize to have a chance.

    * A beautiful open world that is fun exploring - Not huge, but what is there is interesting and beautiful to look at. Art-style is really good, simple but well made. Not sprinkled with a bunch of filler stuff like so many other open world game, what is there is mostly fun and rewarding to do not just a bunch of stupid busy work.

    * Interesting story and characters.

    * Fair quality side-quests to do.

    * Main story requires just about the right amount of time to finish - not a story that drags on and overstays its welcome (im looking at you TLOU2, which I did like but the main story was way to long).

    * Boss fights are not that great. This to me is the one real weakness the game has, the boss fights feel very random and its hard to see a clear pattern to beat them. A lot of time I felt like I was unfairly punished when I "did step out of the way" or "did block" a hit.

    Overall, a great game with some minor flaws, but still in a league of its own    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is nigh impeccable from a technical aspect. On the actual game front, however, it falls rather flat and does nothing to distinguish itself from the glut of other open world titles on the PS4.

On the actual game front, however, it falls rather flat and does nothing to distinguish itself from the glut of other open world titles on the PS4.

    Credit where credit is due: the game is gorgeous. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing at nearly all times, it's an excellent showcase of the graphics that the aging PS4 can put out. On the base model, it runs natively at 1080p and maintains a mostly solid 30 fps with occasional but not horrendous dips below that when there are a lot of particles or physics interactions going on. The lighting, shadows and textures all look fantastic, blood effects are excellent and well stylized, the draw distance is extremely impressive (while there is definitely some pop-in of fine details, it's very well hidden and only noticeable if you know exactly what to look for). The wind effects in particular are extremely impressive, causing foliage and grass to sway convincingly to the point where there is even simulated turbulence that causes ripples and waves.

    The actual gameplay loop is where it falls rather flat though. I've sunk about ten hours into it so far, and I really feel like I experienced all the gameplay had to offer in the first two. The combat is serviceable, but nothing paradigm shifting: it's really just a less button-mashy version of the Batman system. The standoff system is really cool in theory, but its implementation is video-gamey and inorganic, plagued by intrusive UI that is extremely out of place in a game that otherwise minimizes UI elements. Exploration is dull, yielding either cosmetic options or incremental character improvements, and captures the same tedium of searching for Korok seeds in Breath of the Wild. The stealth mechanics are boring; enemies are generally a combination of myopic and hearing-impaired, and often don't notice a violent swordfight that occurred in a tent within throwing distance. Most irritating is that the game goes out of the way to place numerous ways to create distractions or general chaos, but it is never really necessary to use those options and it's usually more efficient to just go in swinging. The controls are pretty tight and polished though, so I'll give it that at least.

    Overall, Ghost of Tsushima would be pretty mind-blowing if you haven't played a single open world game in the last decade. But if you have, it's absolutely nothing different from any of the rest.    … Expand

    The perfect closing to the PS4 era with a game that really shows what the hardware can achieve. Solid story, enjoyable gameplay mechanics and the fact that a western company got praise from Japan says enough of the care and dedication the team put into this game.

Every aspect in GoT is shouting polish. This is the game that will set the standards for all open world games right now. It's like Sucker Punch just knows what annoys the heck out of people in other open world games and just streamline them. One-button jump into photo mode, controlling weather, time of day, even particles in photo mode( believe me you will be spending a lot of time in photo mode), one of the best intro from a video game ever, each part of the island lets you experience different seasons and scenery so you will not get bored of the scenery. Combat!!!! At first you will think the combat is simple, but when they throw in the stances and you realize how many ways you could kill your enemies and be creative. The combat design is to enable the players to feel powerful and to be creative. Sucker Punch, you bunch of genius!!!! I strongly recommend everyone who loves this game to go replay infamous series if you have the chance. I replayed all the infamous just to prepare for this game and this game just blew my mind how much Sucker Punch improved since second son. Also, CHOICES are important. Let the player make their own damn choice in the story is very crucial (unlike some other title). It's like Sucker Punch knows exactly what other players suffered one month ago with another title and let people enjoy a way better game in every aspect (writing, character development, combat, graphics, etc). And now to top it off, Sucker Punch announced a FREE MULTIPLAYER UPDATE. Free DLC add on has never been seen since Valve games. And yet all the xbox fanboys try to paint an "Anti-consumer" picture for Sony? Nice try! Also Naughty Dog cuts out multiplayer from the base game for TLOU2 to be a standalone. If you ask me, $60 is more justified for a full enjoyable single player experience for Ghost of Tsushima with icing on the cake when they add the multiplayer free content. Sucker Punch is just reading the minds of their players so well. YES, they actually listened to feedback, that's why the multiplayer is based on the mythology. Please Naughty Dog, we miss the old you, the one that does not push agenda and actually make a damn good complete single player+multiplayer experience. Even Sony knows how much of a better game is Ghost and release it as the finale of this generation.… Expand

I felt for other characters too but they weren't present during main cut scenes that often for me to care enough about them. Cut scenes lack production value. You can clearly see the distinction between an important cut scene done with mocap and other cut scenes running purely on game's engine. Those other cut scenes look horrible and I'm wondering if fade in/out effect used so often in the game was implemented just so the game could load faster during an open world. Either way that was really annoying. Finally, birds and foxes shouldn't have appeared so often. It takes away the feeling of being rewarded when done so frequently.… Expand

    It’s ok. Don’t feel like it really brings anything new to this genre. It’s maybe a slightly better assassins creed. Some cool environments but overdone a bit. They found a cool way to use leaves and colors and put everything into that without much variety. I just couldn’t really get into the story or the gameplay that much.

Play It of you have enough money, but don't invest on this having Assassins Creed: Oddisey, which basically is the same without japanese skins.… Expand

    Un juego maravilloso. Muy cinematográfico con buenos personajes y tanto secundarias como principales muy bien construidas a nivel narrativo. El diseño de arte es impresionante y explorar tsushima es una delicia. El único pero, misiones más variadas a nivel mecánicas y jefes más variados también. Un estupendo cierre de generación.

    with that being said the combat makes you feel so good after you learn the new moves to overcome any of the new foes they toss your way.

    parts that feel like drags (Hunting down fox dens, getting all the Hiku's, finding all the hidden shrines)
    but i didn't feel like it was to tasking if you did that as you pressed on with the story as you did the side stuff ( do not leave it all for end game YOU'LL get bored)

    The music is fantastic. The story is consistent, epic, easily told, and let's just say that it got my tears flowing at certain parts. The upgrade system is flawless, the currencies make sense, the world is packed with content, and it feels alive. The sidequests can be indistinguishable from the main quests at times, and that's a good thing.
    I recommend this game to anyone who has an affinity towards Japanese culture, some good old samurai fighting, and to have a splendid time in a world outside our own.    … Expand

    The combat system was addictive and perfecting the various fighting styles and stances was satisfying.
    There were a couple of things that bothered me, mainly the sluggish start to the campaign and the snowy region which just looked terrible (I sometimes couldn't see much because everything was so blindingly white and basic)

    And apart from the silly AI at times and a few glitches, it was a really fun game. The landscape was beautiful and the side quests were just as enjoyable as the main story which by the end of it, was a hugely impactful and emotional one.

    I played Ghost of Tsushuima right at the back of LOFU2 so it had big shoes to fill. Even though it's not on the same level, it hold its own ground exceptionally well.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima (from now on GoT) is a game set in feudal Japan during the first Mongol invasion of Tsushima island. It's a very cool game to play, but lacks some elements that would elevate it into being an outstanding game of its generation.

Jin struggles    Ghost of Tsushima (from now on GoT) is a game set in feudal Japan during the first Mongol invasion of Tsushima island. It's a very cool game to play, but lacks some elements that would elevate it into being an outstanding game of its generation.

    Story/characters: The protagonist is Jin Sakai, a samurai with the duty to defend the island and its people from the invaders. Jin struggles between upholding the bushido code of honor and, well, adopting dis-honorable and shady techniques in order to fight the invaders. This internal conflict and the moral issues behind all this actually makes for some great character set up and potential growth, but alas it's never explored seriously. Actually the way Jin transitions into the Ghost is ridiculous at best, a ghost whose identity is known to everyone isn't a ghost. Jin's uncle (and father-like figure) Lord Shimura is so fixated with the code of honor it almost made me LOL. The antagonist is mongol chief Khotun Khan, a ruthless warrior with a strategic mind, but again the developers mess him up. That's actually GoT's one but big sin, the developers and writers set up some potentially cool characters and events but don't take them as far as they should, and the story lacks the impact of other games such as The Last of Us 1 and God of War.

    World/graphics: GoT is an open world game, with the most beautiful map and special effects I've seen to date in a game. Yes you'll see some low-polygon objects or NPCs here and there, but what the developers have achieved on PS4 is insane. The number of moving grass and lieves is on another level compared with Sucker Punch's inFamous Second Son and its particles. Riding on horseback and galloping through thousands of moving white-topped grass with the wind blowing over the field never gets old. The map is littered with a very high number of spots and beautiful vistas, ranging from villages and forts to shrines and hot springs, and more. Akin to old Assassin's Creed games there are a few temples you can reach by platforming. Other cool things the developers have implemented is the wind (which acts as a gentle waypoint when swiping upwards the Dualshock 4's touchpad) and the fox/golden bird (which if you follow they will guide you to a nearby shrine or something else). GoT evokes the atmosphere of feudal Japan like few other games, you can even select to play in Kurosawa mode, a black-and-white film filter and a tribute to the great japanese film-maker. But I have to say, the developers have overdone it with the collectibles and almost got as bad as an Ubisoft game (although it's not as ridiculous as AC Odyssey, not even close).

    Gameplay: GoT's focus is on combat, and the developers have 100% nailed it. Jin uses both a katana sword and bow, but also gadgets (kunai, smoke bomb, etc.) to give him an edge when facing multiple opponents. Gadgets can mask a bad sword combat system, but fear not, the sword combat system is great, you can verify it when dueling an opponent, where you can only fight the enemy with the sword, no gadgets allowed. I play the game on Hard difficulty and it's quite challenging, although it's not as tough to play as Dark Souls or Sekiro. However enemy AI is pretty dumb just like most other games, and consequently GoT doesn't compare favorably with Metal Gear or Hitman as a stealth game, even though you are supposed to also play stealthily as a Ghost.

    Sound/voice acting: GoT features a majestic OST with traditional japanese music. You can play the game with either english or japanese dialogues. Sound effects are of high quality.

    Overall: Ghost of Tsushima is a very cool game to play, especially if you are interested in Japanese history and tradition, but it falls a bit short of greatness due to an under-cooked story and set of characters, while also lacking an enemy AI worth of the challenge.    … 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.
