    Great game , And I can see some History of Japan. Only thing that is wrong is the camera (for me ) but fun game.

The intro to the game is incredible, one of the best i have seen in a while. It's historically accurate to the time period/country (minus the actual invasion and characters) and i found myself spending a lot of time just standing on a high mountain/hill somewhere just looking at the scenery. They did a great job with visuals and the fight/battles are so satisfying, especially the one on one events. I wish there had been some bigger battles that included more people on both sides, like an open grasslands fight with like 200 on each side. Maybe that's a bit much but you get what i mean. There are of course some things here and there that could be improved but everything else you get to do makes up for it. I like game company's that actually give their customers what they want, a fun game to play!… Expand

    It was a mistake buying this game. It is full of bugs, NPC's IA really bad... the only good thing about this game is that the island is beautiful... but the game is just bad. Stealth does not work either and the story is boring.

    I love this game! I wasn't sure initially from the trailers if I would like it but I tried it and I was not disappointed at all. It is a visually stunning experience with intense combat and an interesting story. I easily put in 40+ hours into this game since there is so much you can do I enjoyed every moment of it. I would say this is my game of the year so far.

    Environment and landscapes are the only pros, the rest is all mediocre, from the combat to the story. The game is often buggy, enemy NPC are really dumb, stealth system is 3/10, i was expecting a lot more from this game, given all the hype

    But that's where the good things end. Graphics are unpolished and kinda remind ps3 games, the story is nice but simple and boring. Combat system is weak. And what's the point of making an open world game where all the side quests are ALL. THE. SAME? I really don't get all the hype for this game really

But other than that it's amazing. Flicking the blood off my sword and putting it away after every single fight never got old, the duals make you feel like you're in an old samurai movie just everything about this game the world and all the little details pulled me in.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The story flows as how most people will expect it would be. Fight, got beaten, learn new ways, get new allies and then revenge. The story of the game tells player that we need to make different choices in life in order to survive. Even though some times we need to break the tradition. Betrayal in order to survive in a desperate life is also introduced in the main story. The part where Jin learnt a new ways to accomplish his mission by breaking the tradition plays a pivotal point in the story and gameplay in the game. Throughout the story and side quest, from helping a villagers to find his missing father to rescuing Shimura, Sucker Punch successfully draws players attention by putting in those NPC’s shoes during a difficult moment (War).

    Combat was very satisfying and dangerous at the same time. Few hits by the opponent and you face loading screen. The game uses parrying and dodging system. Furthermore, the latest lethal difficulty punish player who made a mistake by dealing more damage, a more aggressive situation, and harder to parry and dodging but at the same time. However, “it’s 80 samurais against a thousands army”. Unlike samurai, the Mongols fight in group so don’t expect it’s going to be easy. The game offers a feature called “Standoff” which allowed player to take out 3 enemy (upgradable). This system still depend on the situation in the game as sometimes player did not get to choose to perform a standoff before starting a combat due to its story related. Players need to release the long hold triangle button instead of pushing the button to initiate the slash and 1 hit kill. This could be difficult at some point if player was nervous and did not release because all this while, I guess all game uses “press” instead of “release” the button to initiate a fight. See the reverse psychology here? But in the end of the fight, just like Sekiro, you will feel rewarding as hell and satisfied at the same time. Over time, you won’t feel fear walking in and out of the fight if you fight wisely. Try to challenge: Broken armour, no upgrade, no charm, lethal difficulty if you like!! The way the game let Jin to learn new stance is interesting. The process to unlock stances is by either observing the Mongols Commander moves in the camp or defeating them. Just like in real life, we learn from our opponent and then develop new skills to counter them. Hence, player was determine to learn more about Jin’s opponent in-game to unlock new skills. All 4 stance move has its own upper hand when facing different type of opponent. Over time, when you get used to it, try taking out opponent by using all types of stances. This game also offers the coolest Boss fight I’ve ever experienced. From the Mongol general to the classic samurai sword fight, you never see anything like this before in a game. On the stealth part. The enemy AI was a bit dumb. Took out a friend on the other room while his partner was not alerted by his voice.

    If you are someone that understands the Japanese culture, high chances are, you will appreciate every detail in this game. From the architecture design of a temples, shrines, pagodas, village houses, inns, the sewage in the village, every interior of these buildings was accurately or nearly portrait inside the game. The game also introduce “Haiku” (Japanese Poetry), where Jin appreciate the beauty of the nature in Tsushima island to reflect his current life. I myself practices Buddhism, at the very first time I saw the Goddess of Mercy in Golden Temple, I bow to the Goddess and surprisingly a lot of butterfly spawn out and I really appreciate how Sucker Punch connect those details together. The sword that Jin uses, it’s called “Tachi” instead of “Katana” in this game in case you switch into Japanese dub while playing. It is correctly pronounce in this game as in real historical timeline. Japanese sword during that time was called “Tachi”. However, please bear in mind that the “Chiburi” (action where Jin clear the blood away from his sword) was practice during the late Edo Period while the game timeline was Kamakura period. It’s not historically accurate at this point but it is still nice to have this features in the game. Throughout the story, Sucker Punch also expose to the player where different class of people during the feudal Japan holds different kind of lifestyle and difficulties in their daily life. From a thieves who stole a farmers food to those samurais who lost their masters and clan and become a “Ronin”.

    I always find myself staying at the same spot for a period of time to sink in and appreciate the artwork Sucker Punch has put into this game. Players are able to freeze a frame anytime and snap the creative photo whenever they want. I also like the way how the lightning in this game affects the overall tone and mood in this game. the word “Breathtaking” is the best word used to describe the graphic in this game.    … Expand

    Story : you are playing a young still learning samurai warrior named jin    It took me so much time to write this review only because of the fact that I had so much fun playing this game I almost 100% it too this is one of the most enjoyable ps4 exclusives that came out this year unfortunately there are some that didn’t make the cut *ahem* last of us 2 *ahem* but this game was just too good
    Story : you are playing a young still learning samurai warrior named jin sakai you are marching into battle with your samurai army to defend against the Mongols who want to invade tsushima and then japan (the mainland) after you lose the battle and a thief saves you , you understand that there is no way an honorable samurai can defeat the Mongols so you try to seek another way and so you begin your adventure

    Cons:

    - are a lot there of performance issues such as bugs clunky gameplay frame rate drops and the overall performance of the game sometimes just disappointed me

    - the way that you level up way to fast is really annoying because the game just gets easier even on hard difficulty the game was super easy for me

    - the game moves at a really slow paste in the first act to a point of me not even caring about the story at all

    - the loading of armors when you want to see how they look when upgrading them is just humiliating even making me feel as if this is a ps3 game that takes time to load things

    - there are a good amount of plot holes which made me just sit there and ask why? to many times

    - there isn’t much story in the first and the second act only in the third act they picked up the pace

    Pros:

    - the game is just too beautiful you can just sometimes walk around the map with your flute just chilling and playing music and enjoying the scenery

    - the camera mode is superb in every way and I managed to snap some awesome moments

    - the game takes a lot of elements from other open world games such as batman arkhan knight and shadow of Mordor some people say its recycling and unoriginal but I think they actually improved on those elements and made them even better in this game

    - if someone spots you while you are in stealth the whole camp won’t run at you as if they all share the same mind which is the thing, I asked from every stealth game I played

    - the loading time in this game is just nonexistent I don’t know what black magic sucker punch did but I really appreciate them for it

    - combat feels clunky at first but you get used to it and when you do you just can’t stop killing people for no reason because it’s so much fun

    - side missions are actually fun and really rewarding

    - the sheer amount of content and the size of the map will keep you busy for at least 40 to 50 hours

    all this brings me to my final score which was an 8 but after the second act I don’t know how and why but the game just gets so much better in game play and in story and just the amount of content is sometimes overwhelming but in a good way so my final score to ghost of tsushima is a 9 out of 10 I really recommend this game please do yourself a favor go and buy it because its really worth it unlike other ps4 exclusives out there *ahem* *ahem*    … Expand

    Side tales can be a bit cookie cutter, although the stories thar envelope them are well told and generally very sad.

    The game is an amazing experience.
    It holds you in front of the tv. It is a color entertainment and makes you take screenshots so often.
    It attracts you into the world so that you want to explore every place and do every side mission.
    This deserves 100% the game of the year 2020.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a very good game, the story is amazing and the island of Tsushima is interesting and big but when you complete 100% is boring because the island is completely empty you dont have nothing to do. Would be good an arena to fight with enemies or retry enemies bases Pd: sorry my english is not good

    When I seen it was Sucker Punch who was working on this game I immediately knew I was getting it. The inFamous series is one of my favorite game series and I had total faith in SP and they certainly delivered. There is a vast variety of stuff to do in the world, customizations and so much more. The story is great and the gameplay is a blast. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

    Other AAA titles, pease take how well received this game was, it's refreshing yet somehow familiar feel and just so well done.

    To give balance, the criticism o will add is I would have liked some credit, or an Easter egg for completely avoiding the use of a certain nasty weapon, and have a little more say in how that would effect the story as a result but yeah I understand why that would massively extend the scope of this game if they had done so.

Was a little bit skeptical when the initial reviews came out but my friends recommended it so I gave it a go and man was it worth every penny. Everything about this game is done really well from story to graphics to gameplay. For story, missions are divided into 3 sections which are main missions and 2 side missions namely tales of tsushima which contains story about allies and mythic tales which contains the story of old samurais. These tales of tsushima and mythic tales keeps you so addicted that you won't even do the main missions until you are done with these. Main story was a bit short, but those side missions make up for it and even after you are done with the game, you'll keep asking for more. For graphics, Sucker Punch did a really good job optimizing the game on a 7 year old hardware with such graphics. It looks really gorgeous and truly gives you a feeling of Japanese culture and you can take good captures with the photo mode which has so many options for you to set a perfect scene. For gameplay, movement and platforming are really smooth, combat is good and has a variety of enemies which require a particular stance in order to kill them which makes it a bit challenging and fun when you are playing at least at hard difficulty. AI is good, enemies just don't stare at you while you beat up the other ones, they'll attack you and you'll be forced to engage with them as well. Exploration is fun as well with all the platforming and riding the horse in such a good atmosphere. Map has many variety as you keep progressing in the game.

Ghost of Tsushima is the single most beautiful video game created thus far; it looks amazing on my less-than-spectacular set-up of a PS4 Slim and a non-HDR HDTV. Just this single game alone makes me want to drive to Walmart and purchase the PS4 Pro and a better television, but since we will be able to play this game on the PS5 I’ll just wait for that to be released. The story is pretty great in my opinion, although Jin is somewhat of a lackluster character, kinda ruining the fantastic job of his voice actor who was just simply excellent. I wish that they would have given him more lines. The game features excellent voiceover work by the entire cast and the secondary characters are pretty great. The fictional Kublai Khan is one of the more interesting video game villains in years and feels like he is a real man; he’s not just some one-note mustache-twirling bad guy. Lord Shimura, Jin’s uncle, is a loving, caring uncle that has some difficulty expressing his feelings for his nephew and is obsessed with his honor as a Samurai. Kenji is a hysterical thieving sake-brewer. Yuna and Taka are great as well. The Last of Us developers Naughty Dog should take note - Yuna is an excellent example of how to make a strong female character and not an annoying twit. Yuna is not some great Japanese beauty, she’s kinda plain. She doesn’t have some ‘super-sexy’ body that she flaunts; she’s modestly-dressed. But she’s a tough-as-nails chick that’s able to kick some hiney in a very bad situation. While the main quests are not particularly long, there’s a ton of side quests that will take up a lot of your time and, unlike many other video games, you’ll not regret taking the time to complete them. Do expect to spend a fair amount of time with Jin just standing there while you stare in amazement at the games’ environment. A lot of the game world will leave you open-mouthed and nearly speechless. How Sucker Punch managed to create such beauty in a game that’s only twenty-some gigs or so in an age where most games push 100 gigs is a mystery, but by the Good Lord above they certainly pulled it off. There is a ton of stuff to find, from clan banners to sword kits to flowers to trade to merchants to dye your amor different colors, and there’s a crapload of hats, headbands, face masks, and helmets to find. The loading screens are so quick that you don’t have time to read more than one tip, and sometimes not even that. It’s pretty insane how quickly the game loads. The only real flaws this game has are the somewhat annoying platform climbing sections (literally my only deaths in two play-throughs of this game have been from falling while trying to get Jin to grab the next rock or branch) and the utter nonsense that is Jin’s apparent phobia of ladders - getting him to climb up or down one can be a frustrating, but funny, experience. I don’t think that most people would not a whole lot of interest in playing the game again after getting the Platinum trophy, although Sucker Punch just added a new Lethal mode where one hit is death and that sounds like a bunch of fun. Though it is not perfect it is very, very close to it, and is easily my favorite game of 2019-2020 even beating my beloved Final Fantasy VII Remake, an accomplishment that I did not think possible. I am already chomping at the bit for a second Ghost game and happily, as the game sold so well, I’m pretty sure that Sucker Punch will start work on a new Ghost game soon. TL;DR - Ghost of Tsushima allows you to live out the fantasy of being the Samurai/Ninja that you were born to be. Ridiculously highly recommended. If you do not have a PS4 this game alone is reason enough to buy one. 9.75/10. An American masterpiece.… Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful and an enjoyable game. Simply, a labor of love.This game is my GOTY 2020 and here is why.

Simply, a labor of love.This game is my GOTY 2020 and here is why.

    Before everything, fast load times are great.

    Let's start with the beautiful and lush open world. The open world is not big and is not small because it is a perfect fit for the content the game has to offer, full of variety from beginning to end in terms of biomes, features very good amount of quality side quests that build the supporting characters as well as quests for the people in Tsushima. There are plenty of weather conditions you can experience in the game (my favorite being the sunny and stormy weather conditions), the lighting and clouds are wonderful. I only had one minor thing that could have been better is not being able to re-visit a few castles after story, maybe you can and I haven't figured it out but from what I tried I couldn't get in, [insert LET ME INNN meme].

    Next, the gameplay. The game features two fighting styles, Samurai (Katanas Blazing lol) and Ghost (Stealth), there are no restrictions you can mix and match as you like. Each style has its own skills to unlock, as well as a lot of variety to how you can take on different types of enemies using stances which also have their own skills. Then there are charms which are passive skills you can equip. Along the variety of the stances there is also variety to the ghost style which has its own skill tree, let's just say there are plenty of skills to go around and unlock and the great thing about it is that you will get all of those lovely skills and enjoy your way to get them because of how fun the combat is and the great side quests to do, I did not feel like it was a drag instead I wanted more. Furthermore, you can use the bow and some more weapons you can unlock as you progress the story. You will have plenty of ways to take on enemies, you might even neglect some because there are so many and you might grow a preference to some over the other, but trying new weapons and mixing them with your gameplay every time will always be equally fun.

    There hasn't been too many games where I am going somewhere and I see a patrol or an enemy camp and the first thought I get every time even at the end of the game is that this is going to be good, the combat is so enjoyable I can't get enough I am always fighting whichever enemies come across me or I come across them. I played the game about %60 Samurai and %40 Ghost, the AI could be better in some sections when going stealth and the camera might get in your way sometimes.

    The duels are another great feature of the game, basically they are the boss fights and they're so much enjoyable. I wish in a future update they would let us replay them, at least the ones in the open world.

    If I had to give you a feel to how the combat is from games you might have played, I would say Sekiro combat + Nioh combat and a sprinkle of Batman combat and there you go Ghost of Tsushima combat.

    Crafting, upgrading and customization, they're all done the right way, no restrictive levels or you can't use this until you reach this rank etc. If you have the materials and the supplies to craft/upgrade whatever you want guess what you can, yes you can get a lot done in just the first act of the game that you might fear to become overpowered but don't worry as you progress the enemies will be challenging, I will not lie I did hold off some of the sword upgrades/ skills that makes killing enemies faster until the final act because I wanted the fights to last longer due to how fun they are. I also didn't use the ghost weapons willy-nilly until the final act as well due to the same fact. Overall, it is up to you and there are no restrictions on you, if you feel you are becoming overpowered you can hold off some skills/upgrades until the final act in which you will feel comfortable with all of the upgrades and skills.
    You balance yourself out and if that's still too easy just play on Lethal difficulty.

    The customization, you can unlock them all in-game, the way all games should be instead of bloated skins’ stores that are after every penny you've got. Moreover, the armors you unlock all have their own passive skills for each type of armor/outfit,
    The soundtrack is simply wonderful I loved it and the voice acting was great.

    Finally, the story, I have enjoyed the story and the characters all the way to the end, loved the character development and the back stories of the supporting characters as well, likewise there is some good lore.

    Overall, a very enjoyable experience through and through, I can't wait until SuckerPunch adds in new game+ to have another go at it. I would recommend it to avid 3rd person lovers that enjoy sword combat. I think you will like the game if you like AC franchise, Sekiro,The Witcher 3.    … Expand

The world is beautiful having huge fields with blowing long grass or forest with red or yellow leaves on the trees as well as the forest floor or having a duel in a field of red flowers. The game has an ability to make you want to explore as well as you should. Weather it's following a fox to shrine or a golden bird to an object or place you would have probably past. Having little to no hub is great. Giving you that movie feel. On that note my second play through will be in Kurosawa mode making the game not only feel like a movie but also look like it. This is a must play game!

The sound design is amazing in combat, scenery and surround composing. I literally made more ingame screenshots in Ghost then with all my other PS4 games I ve ever played combined.

    This game will take you on an amazing journey and even with only going for the main storyline you will have incredible fun, deep story telling and complex character development on a course of 30 to 55 hrs depending on your play style.

    I do not want to go into detail, you have to explore this game for yourself.    … Expand

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
