    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What can I say? This game was do good, the guiding wind feature was genious, didn't stop the flow of the game, the story heart renching, after losing so many do you kill your uncle or let him live on as a man who failed to kill the ghost.
    After getting the platinum for this game there was nothing left, i quite literally 100% this game. I had to delete it. Now I'm sitting here missing something. Nothing is fun to play now, after being spoiled by sucker punch and their amazing game. It is for me. Game of the year.    … Expand

    It's good when a game like this became available,
    It's funny when u see a lot of badly reviews and bug videos, turning out to be all fake after playing.
    The game gives u a awesome experience about the mongol invasion.
    It's not easy to play, but and u get the timing of the stuffs, killing the bad guys became more natural.
    open world system here works in an epic way.

    This game is amazing. The landscapes are very promising and the game play is awesome. the story and music gets you engaged into the game. Needless to say, my only problem to the game is sometimes the camera will block your view by going around a tree or a Piller but other than that I really recommend this game.

    So this was the best open world game I have played in long time. The story was fantastic, Kohtan Kahn was a very well written enemy leader. I could see why he was the way he was, and I hated him.

I didn't bother with the Black and White mode because the game is just to good looking to do that The end really hit home for me. I was genuinely sad after the final battle. It hit an emotional chord. I also personally really liked the no lock on system. I didn't think the game was clunky at all. There were some bugs like random npcs falling from the skies but it didn't hurt the experience.

    I am giving this a 9 on here only because I can't do fraction ratings. Personally I would give this an 8.5. It's not the greatest game of all time, but it's very good. That said it is much closer to a 9 for me than an 8 so by default it gets a 9,    … Expand

It has everything I want from an open world action / adventure adventure game. Fantastic story with interesting and meaningful side quests, engrossing gameplay with one of the best combat systems I've ever seen. Utterly jaw dropping visuals - they are not the most "realistic" graphics, but they sure are beautiful I've ever seen on a console - proving that photorealism doesn't necessarily equal better. The world is hugely immersive and uses a clever and original mechanic to guide you to your objectives and places of interest while maintaining an organic feel. Exploration in this world is a joy, Sucker Punch does a phenomenal job of recreating the atmosphere and environment of feudal Japan, from the dense bamboo forests, to the golden forests and peaceful fishing villages, to the tranquil hidden mountain shrines. There are so many things to discover. Even if you detract from the main quest, it never felt out of place going back to it. It's actually more beneficial to complete side quests before progressing through the main story, especially on harder difficulties.

    The voice acting is superb, the soundtrack is epic and lends a cinematic quality and ambience that succeeds in immersing you into the game. It's not without flaws though. The camera system can be hindering at times, there are a few graphical glitches (which are barely noticeably unless you're actively looking for them) and the main character could be a bit more interesting. However these flaws are so minor that they can easily be forgiven as Ghost of Tsushima more than makes up for them with it's many other shining attributes.

    A superb masterpiece of gaming

    "The proud do not endure"

    "The strength we need is all around us The mighty fall at last To be no more than dust before the wind" How do I say this? I had one of the greatest gaming moments in my life while playing Ghost of Tsushima when I was still relatively early in the game probably in the first quarter or first third. I was up in an upper room in a farmstead home overrun by a    "The proud do not endure"

    "The strength we need is all around us
    The mighty fall at last
    To be no more than dust before the wind"

    How do I say this?

    I had one of the greatest gaming moments in my life while playing Ghost of Tsushima when I was still relatively early in the game probably in the first quarter or first third. I was up in an upper room in a farmstead home overrun by a cadre of Mongol invaders and my purpose was to sneak around, cut down, pick off and whittle the foreign force down to size. Like a ghost. I was peeking out from one of that upper room windows and fired a bow shot and made a mess of it. Oops, not like a ghost at all. Before I know it, the alerted Mongol unit had figured out where I lurked and they rushed up the ladder to the floor I was at. The whole entire room was swamped with Mongol warriors including the leader of the squad, and I was fighting for my life. I had no other recourse but to unsheath and wield my katana into service. There I was dashing, dodging, parrying, rolling, slashing and thrusting in all directions towards an enemy foe or avoiding the slash of the blade of another one, or manoeuvring into a position of advantage or outmanoeuvring one that had me in his sights. When the whirling, clash and glint of metals had cleared, I remained standing and all around me were the dead bodies of my enemy. There are times, just like that, you feel like you are Maximus Decimus Meredius, Chen Zhen, Druss The Legend, John Wick all rolled into one. But Ghost of Tsushima provides its own identity, that is of the form of Jin Sakai that you now get a chance to be of.

    Then, in another moment of gaming, I had another experience where I felt I was Leonidas and the 300 Spartans at Thermopylae. I was out travelling the land, and stumbled upon some enemy scouts. I was overwhelmed but it so happened right behind me was a rocky hill that had a path wedged in between. And because of the lay of the ground as it is, I fell back purposefully retreating into the corridor flanked on both sides by outcrops, that kept the attackers front of me and bottlenecked. With that tactic, I was able to whittle the enemy force piecemeal and have them succumbing to me eventually.

    Highlighting two of those instances above probably is adequate.

    I have to point out the environment that you will be immersed in.... Oh my God, so beautiful at times, swirling with array of fallen leaves and caressed with flows of wind. The vistas, forests, shorelines, grasslands that greet your vision is so enthralling.

    The game is beautiful, breathtaking, captivating, atmospheric, engaging, absorbing, and heart-pulsing, when those occasions come into play.

    When you are in the midst of playing this game, it dawns upon you that the people - Sucker Punch, that is - that set to making this game a reality, truly love and care about it. You feel that same affection and attention put into to the main story and side stories that go along with it and how it has been fleshed to make it Japanese but at the same time universal. In addition, the homage paid to Japanese culture and samurai films of the past is also felt. It may not be entirely accurate timeline-wise, I guess, when it comes to things like the katana for example during the time of the first Mongol invasion, but the overall arc of it is cohesive using those Japanese related elements to furnish the game. Furthermore it is a work of fiction. It can be easily overlooked and does not detract from the story. It is a heartfelt one, and deep. And not just something tacked on just to backdrop a game, but it is profound. Gameplay mechanics, or design is nothing new. You would have encountered it with Lara Croft, or Nathan Drake or Far Cry (4) but it all come together very well for this game alone. Combat, to me, is fantastic with its diversity through stealth play or the various stances. It was very satisfying.

    I truly recommend Game of Tsushima. It has entered into my short list of games that you must play. I would say it is near perfect, and I give it 9/10 as a game. Even with that, I classify it as a masterpiece.    … Expand

Same goes for liberating each village or farm, same goals but hardly any rewards except the minor increase to your legend status. There is little to no interaction with the people around you, they are invincible to your actions except for the odd option to speak to them. Having to change your stance each time during a battle can become frustrating as it kills the flow of battle and if you try to stay in a stance it stops the game completely until you change it. Switching between bows and throwing objects is also frustrating as it takes time and again takes away from the flow of battle. Another annoying addition is the constant adding of charms that are the same, you can end up with 5 or more of the same charms after completing different fox shrines or quests. What's good about the game is the stealth you can choose to follow or the head on attack.. the sword fights are good and the moves are plenty to choose from. Assassinations can be quite good, especially the jumping assassinations or multiple assassinations. The spectacular views in the game are also an eye opener. The standoff option is quite good and tests your reaction skills. The game as a whole delivers on it's scenery, stealth, assassinations and sword skills. It fails on it's lack of interactions with the environment, people, stance interruptions, repetitive fights/encounters that give out the same results each time, it's half decent storyline and it's lack of different people that more less look the same each Time you save them on the road or meet them in a village. It's constant ecounters with bears that see 2 people trying to kill it. It's general repetitive quests and encounters.… Expand

    After obtaining the platinum trophy tonight and nearly 100% completed the game, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima is the best game that I've played this year and an incredible way to end the PS4 generation. It has a great story with great characters and the game's theme make you think about the samurai Bushido code of honor that is romanticized a lot, and its flaws during times of war.After obtaining the platinum trophy tonight and nearly 100% completed the game, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima is the best game that I've played this year and an incredible way to end the PS4 generation. It has a great story with great characters and the game's theme make you think about the samurai Bushido code of honor that is romanticized a lot, and its flaws during times of war. Without spoiling anything, all I will say about the game’s ending is that it definitively left me thinking about the code and its impracticalities during war.
    Pros:
    • Great story with solid characters.
    • Great voice acting in both English and Japanese. Of the two I prefer the Japanese dub.
    • Great sound effect and incredible soundtrack.
    • Satisfying and fun gameplay that is challenging, but fair for the most part (I'll get into why I say for the most part later).
    • The guiding wind system, which gets rid of waypoints, helps to immerse you into this world a lot more than other open world games.
    • Particle effects. This game has some of the best particle effects that I've seen in a AAA game. From leaves falling on the ground and on water and seeing ash and snow, it's all incredible.

    With all the pros I mentioned, you would think that this game is a 10/10 masterpiece, right? Not quite, at least for me. There are several minor flaws and nitpicks that I have with this game. Little things matter, and when you have several little things in a game, it adds up.

    Cons:
    • No lock on system. I found myself not striking the enemy that I wanted to attack often. A lock on system would have mitigated that.
    • No audio or visual cues for regular enemy attacks from behind. Other games that I've played that have a similar (but not identical) style of combat like Mad Max, God of War 2018, and Marvel's Spider-Man let you know when an enemy that is behind you is about to hit you. Not in this game. I got hit from behind more times in this game than the 3 games I mentioned
    • Certain enemy attacks later in the game do way too much damage, even with charms that reduce the amount of damage taken. I recommend either more ghost-oriented tactics (which is what I did), or to use the samurai clan armor if you want to stick to playing as samurai instead of the ghost. (I played on medium difficulty btw).
    • No crafting system. Often, the loot that I get would be things that I am already full on instead of things that I need (i.e. game gives me kunai instead of smoke bombs when I’m already full on kunai and have no smoke bombs and vise versa). A crafting system that lets me use woods, cloth, and metals to craft more items would have been appreciated since these resources become pointless once you fully upgrade your sword, bows, and armor. They could have made it somewhat expensive to craft items to prevent spam.
    • Bad lip-syncing for the Japanese dub. I guess this one should have been expected since SP is a western developer, but still, they could have made the Japanese dub have proper lip syncing since the game takes place in Japan.
    • No subtitles for minor NPC dialogue in the Japanese dub. I would have to go back and play in English to understand minor NCP conversation.
    • No new game plus. A minor nitpick, but I guess SP can always release an update that adds a new game plus if enough people ask for it.
    • Some side quests can get a little repetitive and have you doing the same thing in some of them. (i.e. follow tracks on the ground).
    • Bugs and glitches. This game has them and some of them are quite hilarious. From dumb AI to enemies attacking you in hot springs, and getting stuck in small crevices, they are here but fortunately, none of them are game breaking and most can be fixed by restarting from the last checkpoint.

    All in all, Ghost of Tsushima is a solid 9/10. It’s a contender for game of the year in my eyes.    … Expand

    World is full of life, although it may be a little overwhelming sometimes. The camera is sometimes clunky, but it's not that big deal. In general, Ghost of Tsushima is an astounding effort that finally lets you play full samurai. Totally worth it, especially if you're into open world games.

    I bought this game with expectations of a 83% metacritic score. Boy was I surprised with this game. It is visually stunning, gameplay is amazing and truly is one of my favourite games of this whole console generation. GTAV being the only game rated higher for me.

Há muito poucos problemas de polimento, que são quase irrelevantes em relação a obra de arte que é esse jogo. Está muito bonito de verdade

    A superb game, a game that is a slow burner as it unravels you learn about your abilities as a samurai and as a ninja taking the fight in either of these styles open and head on or covert in the shadows like tenchu.

Using wind, birds, and foxes to take you where you need to go removes some of the old Video Game UI we're used to. it's a nice change and it keeps you focused on the world.

The game play of this game and the graphics are beautiful, the visuals of the forests are outstanding, and I feel that this might be the best PS4 exclusive in terms of visuals (in my opinion).

    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.
