    The game is fantastic and worth the money, why? The game did its homework and envelops you in the world of Japanese culture. The music in the game is fantastic and beautiful the graphics, the setting art, and the motion capture was also amazing. The combat though repetitive and a bit arcady is enjoyable and in pace with the game.

    People have said the game aims for historically accurate I disagree, its overflowing with modern-day sensibilities and many woke watermarks: lot of "Strong Female Characters". The SFC make up almost half of the main characters, keep in mind the game takes place in feudal Japan a country with an almost fanatical social caste system. Jin the main character is a bit of a mary Sue but his character quickly develops through out the main story. In all, SuckerPunch made a great game and its worth the money. I genuinely look forward to sequels and or DLCs, in short its an imperfect game but fun.

    I literally could not put this game down. Being Asian, it was so nice to see a Western studio handle the Japanese Culture with so much respect.

The scenery was beautiful, the characters showed actual growth, the story made me cry at least 3 times, the gameplay was super fun, and I couldn't get over how well the English voice acting was!

    I did come across some bugs, like changing between stances sometimes didn't register, Jin would hit the wrong enemy at times, and some of the stealth was a bink wonky at times, but none of this was enough to damper my enjoyment. Well worth the buy! I'm now playing through it again in Kurosawa mode.

    Fantastic game and a fantastic closure to a game console generation. Ghost of Tsushima is not without flaws but stands as a reminder that not every new game has to be ****

    It, mechanically, follows the already proven pattern of some earlier awesome games. Open world, pick up trees and flowers, upgrade gear, get better tools that give access to new areas and stuff, do main or secondary
    Fantastic game and a fantastic closure to a game console generation. Ghost of Tsushima is not without flaws but stands as a reminder that not every new game has to be ****

    It, mechanically, follows the already proven pattern of some earlier awesome games. Open world, pick up trees and flowers, upgrade gear, get better tools that give access to new areas and stuff, do main or secondary quests.

    My first impression when booting up was that I where surprised by it´s low quality textures, quite hideous at times. But in my opinion, textures does not have anything to do with how good a game is. Even though some bad textures, the overall environmental fidelity of the graphics are masterpieces. Characters are okay, not a new Bloody Baron or Vaas but they do their part. The main story is quite good, with one or two good twists. Secondary questlines are also okay.
    The game is also constructed with immersion in mind, the hud only ever shows exactly when needed to, minimaps or markers are not here. Instead you are guided by ingame phenomenons like the wind or animals. Love the focus on immersion.

    Combat is where the game really shines. I usually don´t think to much about it, I often even find combat a bit boring. But GoS really nails the combat. It is so well balanced and skillfully constructed, it puts a lot of significance on the skill and concentration on the player. A really focused player can defeat several enemies of high lethality, but let your thoughts wander away for half a second and you are gutted.

    If you love Horizon, Red Dead or Samurais in general you´r gonna love Ghost Of Tsushima!

No it is not the best graphics nor the best facial animations out there yet the world around you the fighting animations and the weather effects are simply stunning. Side quests feel meaningful. These are very rarely the simple go fetch quests but rather tie into the story itself of what is going on the island. The main story is interesting much like the main character Jin. I do not intent to go into spoilers but Jin to me was interesting to play with. There are some very cool game mechanics as there is no HUD in this game. So the wind guides you to the locations you marked or the next quest, little golden birds show you secret spots on the map (such as bamboo holders, quest givers, hot baths, haiku spots) and foxes guide you to shrines that you can honor for rewards. Fighting feels intens and very rewarding when you pull off chain kill streaks and badass combo's. At first the sheer amount of stances, combo options and secondary weapon options may seem overwhelming however i found that it quickly becomes very easy to use and as required change it during combat. The attention for detail is insane. lastly there is no shop, loot boxes no cosmetic packs you can buy. All is truly in the game and can be obtained by playing the game. This game really let me feel like a 13th century samurai. It is well worth the money. Expand

    Visually just a beautiful game. The scenery and story just flows so well and it draws you into playing longer and longer (I have to watch my sleeping patterns, haha). I'm really impressed with the camera setting (Kurasawa) looks great and a beautiful nod to the director.

    My only caveat with the game is the camera angle. I would prefer to have it extended, but I understand the limitations in terms of graphic processor.

    Overall, I think this is 9 out of 10 game. Sucker Punch does really well to possibly leave the game open ended to a sequel or even the possibility of a prequel to detail Jin's story.

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. While the AI is not very intelligent, it puts up a fight once they find you. I really enjoyed this game. Expand

The story is amazing and unless you weren't following it, you will be emotional at a lot of moments. You can EASILY get lost in the world with what feels like endless things to do. The game focuses on how YOU play, stealthy; swords-swinging; etc. The customization isn't bad by any means, with most pieces of armor and clothing dealing different abilities and skills to assist you in your playstyle and how you travel across the terrain.
    The game is easily an 8 for most players, but to stand up to a lot of open world games such as RDR2, GTA, Batman Arkham and others, its truly a masterpiece in itself and deserves no less than an 8.

I really really enjoyed the combat. You have several ways of fighting and multiple tools to your disposal. I actually used nearly every tool available. Mixing it up was great fun. And you get more badass. It was a great feeling getting stronger unlocking new skills etc. The waypoint system with the gushing wind was a pleasant surprise. I actually really liked it. Same with the foxes en birds. It kept me immersed in the world. Collectables and exploring was nice as well. nothing really new here but its a working formula. I do have to say changing my gear and unlocking new ones was great fun. I am currently working on collecting every single thing possible in the game.

    Last but not least the story. I actually thought the story was very good. Some unexpected things happened which really surprised me. I didn't expect to get so immersed in the story! Cons:
    A bit more interaction with the world would of been nice. Although i really enjoyed the open world every now and then it did feel a bit empty. Even adding a couple more different animals might of made a whole lot of difference (for me at least).

    The dialogue every now and then was very similar. It would have been nice to have more diversity. After a while it annoyed me every now and then. Same with the opening when dueling. It was kinda slow and i would be like c'mon just let me fight.

    These are all very minor cons. Definitely not deal breakers as i rated the game 10/10 still.

    Everything put together i really enjoyed ghost of tsushima. It's definitely worth a 10 in my opinion. I spend many many hours on it and it was great fun.

The game surprised me in many ways, from its beautiful environments, surprisingly solid story, and lifelike open world. This game is truly a love letter to the latest generation of the Playstation, and an amazing look forward of what's to come.

    PROS
    Graphics - Beautiful landscapes and scenery
    Story - A seemingly generic tale that was thoroughly entertaining
    Combat - One of the main draws to the game, and it did not disappoint, with the variety of tactics one can use
    Open World - Many things to do in the large, lifelike island of Tsushima

    CONS
    Choppiness - The game is, at parts, rough around the edges. It's not usually distracting, but can be noticeable at times
    Repetition - As with many open world games, repetition can lead to tedium. Be sure to diversify the open world activities that you do

    Overall, I rate the game a 9 out of 10 and would consider it along the lines of a masterpiece. It's a top 10 open world game in my book and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.

    The story is good but predictable. Gameplay - specifically mission design - is pretty simple with most missions including main and side consisting of go here, follow me, track, to this location and kill enemies.

Often had issues with my character not tracking the target as well as refusing to register my parry. Acting is also sometimes inconsistent. On some occasions, cut-scenes would have me tearing up or sympathize with the character(s). Then other times the delivery made a more emotional scene feel emotionless. Still a good game nonetheless.

    Une excellente aventure en monde ouvert.

    Du point de vue du gameplay :

    Ce jeu ne révolutionne malheureusement pas grand chose, si vous avez joué à Assassin's Creed (AC) Odyssey, vous ne serez pas dépaysé. Néanmoins, le jeu perfectionne de nombreuses mécaniques déjà vues dans ce genre de jeux. Vous allez devoir explorer l'île de Tsushima, libérer de camps et réaliser diverses quêtes pour vous endurcir.
    Les combats quant à eux sont très sympathiques, nerveux et précis. On regrettera cependant le manque d'un verrouillage caméra sur les ennemis.

    Concernant l'histoire :

    L'histoire est relativement intéressante et bien écrite, bien qu'elle puisse plus vous impliquer que l'histoire d'un AC, elle reste néanmoins moins impactante que celle de The Witcher 3, pour rester dans la même catégorie de jeux. Ce n'est ici pas le point fort, elle sert principalement de faire-valoir à l'aventure qui vous attend. Jin Sakai, le héro, est cependant assez attachant.
    De plus, le doublage japonais permet d'améliorer l'immersion, en plus d'être de très bonne qualité.

    Enfin, graphiquement :

    C'est le point fort du jeu. Tout d'abord, par graphiquement il faut entendre "technique, ambiance et game design". Le jeu se démarque complètement de ses concurrents en proposant un style graphique qui lui est propre, ainsi qu'une ambiance d'un japon féodal extrêmement réussi et convaincant. Tout cela profitant d'une des meilleures technique de notre génération, le jeu proposant des paysages à couper le souffle. Le jeu est à la fois onirique, épique, nerveux et reposant.
    Concernant le game design, le studio a réussi à donner une identité propre, pour Ghost of Tsushima, à de nombreuses mécaniques que l'on retrouve dans d'autres jeux.

    Sans proposer un gameplay révolutionnaire et possédant une histoire relativement subsidiaire, le jeu permet tout de même de proposer une aventure originale et de toute beauté. Vous vous perdrez dans ces forêts aux multiples couleurs pour finalement vous arrêter quelques secondes devant un paysage magnifique, tout ce la bercé par une bande sonore extrêmement réussie et cohérente.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Having read some of the reviews and now beaten the game I fond myself wondering if I truly played the same game as everyone bombing this with zero as a score. I'll address this in a series of points:

    - Combat: The combat variety in the game is simply outstanding. 4 different sword stances are available (albeit you have to earn them, and this can be done easily within the first region). Each one provides for benefits and drawbacks against specific weapon types. It creates for a more dynamic combat system as opposed to raw button mashing like some of the negative reviews (and places like The Verge and others) would suggest. There are so many approaches to any individual fight whether it be the siege against Castle Shimura/Maneda or the many scattered Mongol camps.

    -Characters: I don't know what some people are smoking, but the character development in this game was superb. From the evolution of Kenji from a greedy drunk turned siege master ally, or Norio from a reserved warrior Monk to a revered guardian of the masses, or or the main character himself, Jin Sakai, from an honorable samurai forced to defend his homeland with any means necessary by abandoning his samurai honor code. Some of these reviews have said stuff along the lines of "the game seems to FORCE you to play as the Ghost" and that "well we want to play as honorable samurai and we don't have the option." That is not the point of the game. The point is that Jin is abandoning his honor code in order to save his home...he is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve this goal of killing the Khan and driving the Mongols away...including vile and cruel methods of warfare. He even addresses his own flaws throughout the game, and if people missed this then that's on them.

    -World: The game world was fantastically put together. Gotta lvoe seeing reviews that give a low score (cough cough game journalists) because it is an open world game when they explicitly state in their review that they are not a fan of open world games. Rest assured, the world is masterfully crafted. The setting is gorgeous, and the graphics alone are a fantastic way to wrap up what is effectively the end of the PS4 era.

    -Story: I cannot put into words how amazing I felt the story was. Simply put, play it for yourself and experience it, because it is just that: an experience like none other.

    Don't let negative reviews draw you down. There is a reason the average score from users is as high as it is. Considering that there isn't much competition this year, I'd say that Ghost of Tsushima is almost a guaranteed lock for game of the year. It is not only one of the best exclusives that PS4 has to offer, but, in my humble opinion, one of the best exclusives that a PlayStation console has ever seen...and easily in my top 5 favorite games of all time.

I didn't feel forced to play one way or the other, or like I was being punished by the game for not being able to go unseen through every enemy camp. The main story did feel a little on the short side, but the world is full of side tales and tasks to complete to keep you busy beyond the ending, without feeling like filler, while also tying into events of the main tales, instead of feeling like random events. I have a hard time talking about this game and finding anything negative to say about it. I expected it to be good, but it went above and beyond the expectations I had for it. As disappointed as I was that it got pushed back to July, I feel like this game was the best send-off for the ps4, as we head into the new generation of consoles. 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.
