    Probably one of the greatest games of the decade, nothing else comes close.

    Amazingly beautiful world and satisfying stylish combat. Just being a ninja/samurai and exploring the world is what this game is all about. The story and side quests have mediocre writing in places but also great moments especially later on in the game and the Mythic quests. The beautiful visual style and art in this game makes up for any other shortcomings.

    Un extraordinario juego con una fuerte ambientación de la cultura e historia japonesa. Historia profunda en la cual se siente la frustración de un pueblo oprimido por la invasión Mongol, crudeza de esa época con enemigos tanto invasores como los del mismo pueblo que se convierten en criminales que buscan sobrevivir siendo traidores vendidos al bando enemigo o simplemente por necesidad.

Historia profunda en la cual se siente la frustración de un pueblo oprimido por la invasión Mongol, crudeza de esa época con enemigos tanto invasores como los del mismo pueblo que se convierten en criminales que buscan sobrevivir siendo traidores vendidos al bando enemigo o simplemente por necesidad. Es ahí cuando nuestro héroe que no es un todo poderoso desde el inicio tiene que pasar por una y mil aventuras para fortalecerse a sí mismo y por ende reunir un grupo para poder liberar a la isla de Tsushima. Me encantó el juego, es bastante filosófico y como es basada en la cultura japonesa valores como el honor, lealtad y esfuerzo son muy frecuentes. Para mi el juego del año, además de ser un juego que procura ser neutral en las cuestiones de corrección política, pero bueno aun así hay un personaje que es debido a la presión de los medios tuvieron que poner de la manera mas forzada para convertirla en bisexual aunque era casada y con hijos, fue super forzado pero solo fue el 1% del juego. Al principio tiende a ser un poco monótono, pero a medida que avanzamos la historia y fortalecemos a Jin, el juego se vuelve super divertido. Cómprenlo sin pensarlo dos veces, un juego extraordinario.… Expand

Having played some passt Assassin's Creed games, which somehow I immediately connected to this game, and hearing the term open world, I wrote it off as an other generic Ubisoft-like experience. Gather this, explore that, rinse and repeat. The only thing that kept me slightly more interested was SuckerPunch's previous titles such as the Sly Cooper and Infamous which although they didn't blow me away I fairly enjoyed. Yet after looking further into the combat system from curtain trusted YouTube channels and being a big fan of the Japanese culture I thought I'd give the game a chance. I spent 70€ (PS Store) and jumped in hoping that my hard earned money and time I'll invest won't go to waste. Damn, the opening, these amazing graphics! "This could be something special" I thought. "Now if only this stays as amazing as the opening we've got in our hands something real good". And it did. Beyond the beautiful landscapes and the minimal hub wind based ways of getting to your next objective lies a satisfying combat system that doesn't become boring (at least for me playing in hard mode). The game feels fluid and tempts you to explore, to discover different gear and attires to customize your character as you please. It throws you into unexpected situations that puts you in the shoes of how samurai had to always be prepared for danger lurking. To cut it short they managed to find the perfect balance between an AC game and the realism of Red Dead Redemption 2 but somehow making it more enjoyable than both.
    Although it does have some flaws it is easy to look past them and highly recommend it. For me it's an easy 9/10.    … Expand

I regret not buying the collector's edition when I had the chance because I always thought the combat will be Dark Souls style, slow paced and tactical, but no. The combat is very fun, there are some boss fights that provided a good challenge as they required way more patience than your average mongol.

    The graphics and visuals in this game are maybe unmatched by anything. You always feel like you want to take pictures, it is simply stunning. If you are a sucker for particle effect like me, especially leaves blown by the wind you will have a lot of this while running through leaves or flower petals covered forests floors. There are several duels that take place in some amazing and diverse duel rings next to beautiful bodies of water of full of fireflies.

    There is also an incredible attention to details in some way you might easily miss but the cool kind of attention to detail, not the boring kind from Red Dead Redemption 2. The developers seem to have put quite a lot of thought it this game like you put in raising your beloved child. There are several videos on youtube showing this.

    I am still playing it but it will be probably my second game that I will try to get a platinum trophy for because like Zelda it makes you want to explore every corner of the world finding all its secrets and amazing hidden places.

    The game is not perfect, I would have preferred a little bit of easier world traversal, like being able to jump of cliffs with less damage or more climbing parts although fast travel is very fast and makes it easier to go from place to place. Also side quests diversity could have been bigger but the fun combat makes up for it.    … Expand

It’s almost as if Sucker Punch was meant to make this game. From the landscapes to the combat, everything is a dance of color and respect for you, the player, and for the culture it sincerely represents. Combat is just right, difficult and rewarding. With every strike of the katana, Jin Sakai feels powerful yet vulnerable. Every move you make is meaningful.

    The score is definitely one of the better ones in any game, reminiscent of the movie entitled “Hero” with Jet Li. Blades of grass bend under your feet and to the wind toward your objective. “Your father is the guiding wind behind your back” your uncle proclaims. Giving substance and meaning to even the simplest yet most effective waypoint systems in any game made to date. Little details abound everywhere like this. I am almost sad that only people with a PlayStation can enjoy this title. This game is probably one of the easiest to play and yet difficult to master games. It is like dark souls with beauty and grace. Death , despair, honor and dignity. Themes present in the game pointing you ever forward to the conclusion. By and large a great tale of a accidental hero rising to the occasion to save his people , culture and home. It deserves your attention. It is a fantastic game.

    Ghost of Tsushima could've been a mediocre game at best, but it proves to be much better than many other open world games out there.

    This is probably the most beautiful game I've ever played, after TLOU2. Part of the reason why it is so fantastic is because of its scenery. The art direction and evinronmental design is near-perfect here and it merges VERY WELL with story and gameplay.    Ghost of Tsushima could've been a mediocre game at best, but it proves to be much better than many other open world games out there.

    This is probably the most beautiful game I've ever played, after TLOU2. Part of the reason why it is so fantastic is because of its scenery. The art direction and evinronmental design is near-perfect here and it merges VERY WELL with story and gameplay. The island of Tsushima is so rich with beauty and secrets to find, that makes you ACTUALLY strive to defend it from the Mongols. It makes you give a ****
    The gameplay is also top-notch. I confess that it took me a long while to fully get used to the combat but, when it clicks, it CLICKS. It mixes style with substance with ease and makes every single encounter be slightly different or intense enough to make you search for more. Especially during the big battles that the story throws you in.

    Exploration (of course) plays a gigantic role in how you'll enjoy the game's progress and I'm happy to say that riding and running through the fields of Tsushima is one of the "chillest" things in gaming, in 2020. Discovering secrets, experiencing the calm soundtrack, collecting masks, flowers, completing objectives, raising your legend status and doing everything else that the open world has to offer is stunning. It might get repetitive, since objectives lose variety halfway through the 2nd act, outstaying its welcome a bit, but it's nothing gamebreaking and it's just incredible how GoT's collectables managed to keep me interested until the credits roll. Even the sidequests got me hooked. There are some very fun and well-written ones.

    But the story is probably the weakest part of GoT. While it does get better in the 2nd act, characters have no charisma and the writing lacks any surprises and charm. It does come with some impactful high stakes moments and a few enjoyable samurai tropes, but not enough to make it stand out.
    Combat, while VERY stylish, does require some time to get used to. At first, it might feel clunky, especially when you're fighting many enemies. Fighting does not work against mobs in this game. Also, stealth mechanics, while seviceable, only work when you done perfectly. Problem is, GoT will seldom give you space or a path to always eliminate entire groups by only using stealth.

    One last thing that might push you away from Ghost of Tsushima is how "cliché" it can become. It is an open world that WILL get repetitive, DOES use a bunch of systems and mechanics from others of the genre and NO, it's not as good as industry colossi like The Witcher 3 or Zelda BOTW.
    The thing is: That's fine!
    Ghost of Tsushima gets all of those clichés and problems, put them in a powerful blender and makes an impressive and bonafide juice with it.
    If you like action and open world games, I definitely recommend this one. It's one of the most remarkable exclusives on the console.

    Cons-

So much in fact, that I went out my way to pet every fox, climb every shrine and bathe in every hot spring just to platinum it. Sure there are flaws, but there is so much that this game gets right that it is easy to forgive some of these problems as they do not take too much away from the overall experience.    … Expand

Сюжет довольно интересный, несмотря на то, что в нём ничего необычного и уникального особо и нет (речь идёт о неожиданных сюжетных поворотах или сильной привязанности к персонажам). Побочные задания от второстепенных персонажей тоже весьма увлекательные. Боёвка по мере прохождения игры постоянно развивается, из-за чего игра становится еще более захватывающей, со временем она не надоедает. Отдельного упоминания заслуживают локации, которые задают определённую атмосферу и выглядят очень красочно, не смотря на не такую уж и хорошую графику и даже с ней игра умудряется проседать, а консоль начинает сильно шуметь. Так же, мне очень понравилась система навигации, ничего лишнего, никаких меток, выглядит минималистично, но иногда возникают трудности, я такого раньше не встречал, но эта система мне очень понравилась.К сожалению, в глаза сильно бросаются движения персонажей, они выглядят очень нереалистично, что портит впечатление от игры. Я ставлю этой игре 8 баллов только из-за технической части, могло быть и лучше, но игра всё равно достойная и заслуживает хорошей оценки.… Expand

    The best part of the game for many will be its setting and combat system. While not realistic for the exact time period, the game shows wonderfully how Japanese people lived in the middle ages, and presents itself as classic samurai movie come to life. The combat is easy to get used to, but is complex enough to present a constant challenge. Enemies die quickly, but are very aggressive, making this, along with Spider-man PS4, the best combat system I have seen in an open-world game (This one is arguably better). This is occasionally hindered by the camera, but only rarely in my experience.
    Archery is fun, and an excellent addition to the sword combat. Not much to say, it is challenging but simple.
    The stealth is...okay. The ai presents little challenge here, and can be cheesed easily. I preferred open combat throughout.
    The biggest complain professional gaming journalist had was the lack of original elements in the game, but I fail to understand this point. The combat is what makes Ghost of Tsushima unique and fun. Everything else is derivative of other games, but I don't understand why anyone expected the game to reinvent open-world games from the ground up.
    The game's story is simple, but fitting for a game aiming to be like classic samurai cinema. Jin and the other characters are likable, if a bit overly serious sometimes. There are a few amazing setpieces throughout the main story, as well as some emotional high notes, especially during the end.
    GoT is a 10 for me. I love Japanese culture and history, and the combat is superb. If you absolutely want to play it as a ninja the game is a 7, or an 8. If you are not interested in the setting it is a 9.    … Expand

So I made the decision to not do the secret stabbing thing unless it was to save lives in game... A samurai that bend his code of honor for the people he's supposed to protect. When it's his life alone he fights out in the open. Except for Archer, **** them.

    Then I get to save my uncle and there's a guy on the other side of the door. I can do nothing... nothing but sneak kill him.... Nothing else. Can't stand up, can't take out my sword... can't do anything else... Lets go kill the guy so my uncle can be like oh what have you done... you stabbed someone in the back... oh no....

The story is realistic as well as the fact that it is based on a real-life event (the invasion of Japan by the Mongols, not the actual Ghost of Tsushima). The story also ends beautifully,(no spoilers), and it brought me to tears no matter how many times I've seen it.

    There are definitely some glaring issues though with lots of buggy NPC's and game textures plus it has probably one of the worst in-game camera systems I've ever seen. It's like playing a PS3 game with 4k graphics. The story was pretty good though, I think that was probably what drove me to actually play through it. Decent game overall but certainly has a ton of issues.

When Ghost of Tsushima was first announced I genuinely didn't care for it. I have never really been interested in Japanese history and have always avoided films based on this topic as I feel there not really my cup of tea. I watched the state of play about this game and thought the gameplay looked boring and uninspiring. Then the game released and got quite good reviews so I checked out a walkthrough of the opening of the game and was surprised by how good it looked, so I took the plunge and brought the game. I am so glad that I did, it is very enjoyable.

    You play as Jin Sakai the last remaining Samurai after the Mongolians slaughter everybody on the beach at the opening of the game. You are tasked with trying to rescue your uncle who has been captured by the Mongolian leader Khutan Khan. I wont talk about any of the story after this point as I don't want to spoil it, but I can assure you it is gripping throughout.

    The combat is very solid and a joy to play. It never gets boring parrying enemy attacks and changing between each different combat stance. You unlock a new combat stance after defeating a certain amount of enemy leaders. You can defeat enemies using any stance you prefer, but certain stances are easier for enemies that are wielding a certain weapon, there is a stance for swords, shields, javelin or spears and brutes. It is great to easily switch between while in the middle of a fight.

    The amount of exploration really adds to the game as well. There are plenty of different collectables to find and they are made easier to find thanks to animals you can follow that will lead you to them or if you where the travellers cloak your controller will vibrate when you are close to a specific type of collectable.

    The only negatives I can think of are that the stealth is incredibly basic if not the least impressive stealth I have seen from a game in years. Whenever you enter a camp unseen enemies always conveniently have there back turned to you and others are always finding some sort of fascination out of staring at a wall. The stealth does get difficult at times as sometimes it is just a case of working out which guard to take out without alerting any others. Thankfully the combat is so good that it more than makes up for the sub par stealth mechanics. Other slight negatives include getting stuck occasionally when fighting standing on a rock and not being able to roll away to avoid your enemy.

    The last thing I want to mention is that new mechanics are always being introduced to the game to keep things interesting, so just when you think you have seen all the game has to offer something new comes along to add to the variety.

    A must play! P.S Make sure you do the bamboo strikes they are incredibly fun.    … Expand

The soundtrack is perfect, the Japanese voices are great. The custom of the main character is really cool too. There aren't massive issues. Annexe quests are a bit repetitive at some point. I was a bit disappointed with certain other aspects like when there is body on the floor, your feet pass trough it like nothing, you are not on the body, you are in the body, problem is that it happens 100% of the time like they didn't pay attention to that. Or when you throw an arrow on something like a tree or whatever, you're never going to fund it stick into something, it just disappears. Another thing is that you pass literally trough every bamboo forest like if there isn't anything, impossible to cut the bamboo with your katana or anything.

    Ghost of Tsushima is visually beautiful, extremely well researched and written, and keeps you hooked as the story progresses. It just gets better and better the longer you play.

    The narrative is compelling and interesting, the side quests are equally interesting unlike so many games with repetitive, tiresome quests just to keep the player busy. The fighting is very satisfying and ever evolving so it never turns stagnant and becomes repetitive. The island of Tsushima is vast and beautifully diverse with lots of open world exploring to be done. There's lots of hidden little things, for example, following the yellow birds to find hidden points of interest/items there's so much for the player to do and not to mention the deep dive into ancient Japanese culture. The art of the Haiku, honour and the battle between what was taught and what needs to be done in the face if overwhelming force. Ghost of Tsushima has a great photo mode to capture the stunning beauty of the Island. I love this game, it has blown me away and exceeded my expectations.

The in-game world is so beatiful and dynamic you'd never get tired exploring and wandering around. Nevertheless, the game has some technical issues specially when going in stealth like repetitive stealth kill animations. But the issues are not so anoying and you can just ignore them in many cases. In conclusion, Ghost of Tsushims has been one of the greatest open-world games I have experienced so far. 9/10 it proudly deserves.… Expand

    What a beautiful game! While character models or animations are not best of the class, world design and scenery are beyond beautiful. Just exploring this gameworld is a huge joy. The story is simple, but effective with characters you slowly start to care about. Even the open world stuf isn't too tedious. There are some open world tropes and filler moments, but overall it's fine. But theWhat a beautiful game!

Switching stances, using all your tools and getting into "the flow" just fells and looks amazing. Oh, and don't forget the load times! How did they pull this off? Amazing!… Expand

    Full disclosure, I’m not finished. But I couldn't wait to write a “partial review”. This is not only one of the best LOOKING games I’ve ever played, but also one of the most fun. The story is captivating. Even the most minor of side missions has meaning and weight. Every character, good or bad, is interesting. This is one of the few games I’d like to see turn into a movie or miniseries.Full disclosure, I’m not finished. But I couldn't wait to write a “partial review”.

    The game is Sony’s 2nd best I’ve ever played. The only game that rivals this in a sense of story, music and graphics is God of War. It’s not even close. Those two games are by far and away PlayStation’s best work. This was an absolutely magnificent game. From start to finish, it is jaw dropping.

This was an absolutely magnificent game. From start to finish, it is jaw dropping. The story is amazing and the scenery is beyond gorgeous. The colors used in this game are incredible. I played it on my PS4 Pro with a 4K UHD Samsung TV and my goodness it didn’t disappoint. I did everything the game had to offer and spent probably around 50-60 hours in game. Each time I sat down for a session the game just continued to provide jaw dropping moments and graphics. The music was also another one of my favorites. It was just all around wonderful. This is also coming from an Xbox person who will be getting a Series X at launch. I can only dream one day Xbox could make such a remarkable first party game as this. It will be a tragedy if this game doesn’t win game of the year. I played and beat LOU2 as well, but this game imo is better in almost every regard. It’s a shame there are not more games like this out there. This is what Assassins Creed dreams to be and maybe one day it might, but for now Ghost of Tsushima is in a class that it only shares with GoW. If you’re looking to close the current console chapter out, do so by playing this game, you won’t regret it. It was the icing on the cake and a beautiful way to send PlayStation 4, off into the sunset. I’m almost positive if you appreciate games this one will not disappoint. It makes my top 5 current gen games of all-time! Hats off to Sucker Punch and bravo. An instant classic and should be loved by many. Cheers!… Expand

    Совершенно не понимаю почему такой высокий рейтинг у этой игры. Графика на уровне PS3, анимация никакая, когда , к примеру, нужно поджечь орудие или что-то сделать включается просто чёрный экран, вы серьёзно?! Геймплей наитупейший, пародия из более удачных игр выполненная не в лучшем стиле.Совершенно не понимаю почему такой высокий рейтинг у этой игры.

    I have never played a game that has immersed me so deeply into the story. The connection I grew to the characters was something more than other games I have played. Excellent game, excellent story. Highly recommend.

    Best game in Japanese setting. Great plot and atmosphere. You're immersed in it and you can't tear yourself away. It's not about good and evil, it's about honor.

    Coming from an all around weeb, this game is amazing. In recent times the Japanese media and eastern media has done a very well job at making it in the western culture. Anime is on the rise like never before, friends of mine that have never heard of anime are getting into it to see what all the hype is about. And the friends that had or do watch anime are getting into manga and the such. IComing from an all around weeb, this game is amazing. In recent times the Japanese media and eastern media has done a very well job at making it in the western culture. Anime is on the rise like never before, friends of mine that have never heard of anime are getting into it to see what all the hype is about. And the friends that had or do watch anime are getting into manga and the such. I remember discovering anime when I was in the third grade and after watching so many ninja and samurai shows and thinking, “Man, I really wish there was a game I could play that kinda has stuff like this.” But at the time, there weren’t. Ghost of Tsushima has given me what I’ve wanted for so many years. Not all the flashy stuff with spells and jutsus like naruto or bleach, but a more simplistic down to earth experience that I could wrap my head around. A samurai in japan based on an era in which enemies are invading your home and you throw everything you have to drive them away, even at the cost of your honor and the lives of those you love, **** epic. Being a weeb heightened my want for something that I could call a Japanese experience, and this gane delivered. Objectively this game is also very fun, while the only downside for me is that some missions might get repetitive from time to time. The combat is fun and interactive having to doge arrows, attempting perfect parry’s and dodges. The story is entertaining and not at all boring. The open world is fun and immersive. And to top it all off, the game is absolutely stunning to the eyes, seriously I highly recommend the game.… 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.
