    Wow . It's been a very long game that the story takes me to an another world. Just wow.
    Combat mechanics + characters + story + music + depth of dialogues + graphics everything is great in ps5. Only enemy A.I is lack of intelligence, they don't hear you meanwhile you take out their friends 3-4 meters away. Gears+weapons+ skills etc. Everything is a masterpiece.

    One of the best games I have ever played. Based loosely on real-world events from the Kamakura period when the Mongols invaded Japan. The main character is a samurai who abandons his principles to defend his people. The gameplay is open-world similar to Witcher or Red Dead but the artwork is something I've never seen before.

The main character is a samurai who abandons his principles to defend his people. The gameplay is open-world similar to Witcher or Red Dead but the artwork is something I've never seen before. It's absolutely beautiful, one of those games where every scene is a painting. It's hard to believe these graphics are possible on the PS4. It plays so fluidly and with such incredible detail.

    Positive points - the main story, the boss battles, the world exploration. The one-on-one sword fights are next-level it was like experiencing a Kurosawa film.

    Negative points - its long, and big, and getting 100% is a grind. My recommendation is don't go for 100% just play the main story. It's like an epic-adventure film that way.

    Don't miss this game its a superb swansong for the PS4.    … Expand

    Incredible atmosphere, tight controls and faithful to historical information. Ghost Of Tsushima Excells in nearly every way. It is impressive how immersive and captivating the finely crafted world of Tsushima Island is. I dont have enough to nitpick to call this game any less than a 9.5 overall.

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

Regardless it was a lot of fun kicking some Mongol butt. Aesthetics are beautiful in the game. One little nitpick I do have is the fantasy armor. If you go for historical landscape I feel like you should go all the way and not bring fantasy/future era equipment to the game. Still all in all I would give this game easy 9,5/10 but since system only goes for full scores it has to be full 10/10. As game I can't really find any real flaws that truly hurt my experience from it, just small nitpicks. Easily among best games in recent years.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I beat the game in about 20 hours and have done the mythic quests. The visuals are bonkers and the tone of the game is immersive as hell. Limited UI and using the wind to guide you will suck you into the experience for hours on end because SP realized a minimalist UI with their scenery is too hard to step away from. This game is exactly what a story driven, open world game should be. The combat feels extremely rewarding, and the one on one duels are completed masterfully. Once you obtain the Ghost stance later in the game, your combat becomes even more incredible. This is the best way the PS4 generation could have ended and will be one of the only games besides spiderman and god of war I'll 100% complete because it deserves it. Sucker Punch delivered a knockout blow and it should 100% win GOTY over any other game released this year.… Expand

I immediately noticed, after a few hours of play, Ghost of Tsushima has a lot of Zelda BotW DNA in it, and that's terrific. The combat is tight, dynamic and challenging, especially if played on hard difficulty. With tight gameplay, impressive performance going along with boundary pushing graphics and art direction, this game is the perfect capstone to the PS4's exclusive library as it seeks to move on to the next generation of consoles. This is a game of exceptional quality that continues to surprise me and leave me staring in wonder at the gorgeous vistas all throughout Tsushima. The most ambitious part of this whole package, to me, is the lack of any sort of level gating for missions and content. Rather than increasing difficulty by bloating the stats of enemies in a leveling system, they instead become more specialized, have more tricks up their sleeve and use more aggressive tactics the further you progress in the game. The progression is instead tied to Jin unlocking new tricks of his own and improving his own skills as you explore the island throughout the game. It creates a sense of true progression that feels rewarding, thematic and appropriate for the setting of the game. This is the most impressive game I've played in a long time. I recommend this to anyone who has a passing interest in it. i'm excited to count Sucker Punch along side CD Project Red, FromSoftware, Guerrilla Games and Id Software as a company who's work outshines the rest.… Expand

    I do not think this Game is a 10 - I think it is a 9,7. It is pretty close to what I consider the "perfect" game. It kept me going until the end, kept me invested in the story, kept me invested in the gameplay. Wanted me to do the side quests. Sure, what is a PERFECT video game? Perfection just isn't objective and can't be achieved. However, this game is very close - beside SMALL Issues I had as with "follow the trail" MIssions I found a bit boring - to being the perfect game for me and was single handedly worth buying a PS4 for.

    I hope Sucker Punch can continue this kind of games and quality, they definitely have a new fan.

    I have no idea while the so callled "game critics" are giving this game anything less than a 9. This is not only is Ghost of Tsushima most beautiful gamenI have ever played , but it's my Game of the Year for 2020 and it's not even close.

    Sucker Punch did such an excellent job at bringing the japanese minimalistic zen atmosphere, which then is contrasted by badass katana bloodbaths. It is arguable if it has the best graphics but it's definitely one of the best aesthetic and stylistic package. It took the often intimidating open world rpg genre and vastly improved on it, making it simple and fun, yet deep snd justified.

    Esse jogo tem um dos melhores sistemas de combate que ja fizeram, história muito boa com várias referências e conteúdos da história do Japão. Os gráficos são impressionantes com muita cor e brilho. Infelizmente a inteligência artificial dos NPCs ficou a baixo do nível dessa geração e a câmera precisava ser melhor trabalhada

    Ghost Of Tsushima is an amazing game :) the world is so beautiful & characters are great . The combat is so fun & even though at times it can be repetitive but the thrill of dodging & parrying my enemies felt amazing & rewarding . I thought we could of gotten better character development with Ryuzo but I enjoy this game so much!

Visualmente el juego es espectacular, el contraste de colores, la saturación de los mismos, los paisajes realmente transmiten esa tranquilidad con la que asociamos a la cultura japonesa, en ese aspecto definitivamente un Home Run para los chicos de Sucker Punch, la personalización de Jin en el aspecto visual (ropas, armaduras, sombreros y katanas) es variada y hermosa, cabe destacar que en las armaduras y ropas, se pueden mejorar y cada una tiene atributos distintos, unas para el ataque, otras para defensa, para viajar, para mejorar las estadísticas del arco, etc. Encontrarás la que se adapte mejor a tu estilo de juego o la que visualmente te guste más, también puedes cambiarles el color a cada una de ellas entre una gran variedad de colores que el juego te permite.

    La historia principal en sí es un poco corta, peeeero tu no compras esta maravilla de juego solo para jugar la historia principal, cierto?, pues las misiones secundarias de los personajes que te ayudan en esta travesía no son grandiosas como las de the Witcher 3, pero sí están bien construidas, las otras misiones son más normalitas, pero como expresé antes, el combate es tan entretenido que se te olvida todo, pero no por esto voy a dejar de decir que en estas misiones terciarias (por llamarlas de alguna manera) sí hay ciertas fallas en el apartado visual de los npc, faltó pulitura ahí.

On a technical standpoint, this game is a 10/10 for me. The sound is amazing as it transports the player perfectly into the world, so do the graphics and the art direction. The diversity of the environment is something not many open world games achieve so effortlessly and the tight controls make interacting with the world as catchy as it should be. The world feels alive and everywhere little stories are told through the environment to reinforce the theme of the mongol invasion. I was never particularly interested in feudal japan but Sucker Punch managed to create such an intriguing and interesting world that I find myself exploring every bit and being amazed by the lore, the architecture, the technology, the culture and so on.

    The gameplay is amazing. I love how Sucker Punch chose to make navigation almost entirely diegetic. It feels like you're really exploring Tsushima, without ruining the immersion because a new marker popped up on the UI. The activities itself are nothing special for a modern open world game but I got hooked many times by the interesting and mysterious story of a side quests.
    Important characters are introduced through quest chains which are interesting and well done.

    The underlying systems work very well together and create meaningful game loops that make you want to participate in every activity the game offers. I like the customization even tho I would have wished for more performance based progression in the form of gear. You can unlock many abilities throughout your playthrough that alter your playstyle significantly.
    The stealth is ok, the combat is flawless. This is the only game that manages to achieve the feeling of being a powerful samurai warrior. Challenging foes and killing them with precise strikes and perfectly timed parries was never that satisfying. The controls are responsive and snappy which is absolutely mandatory for a game like this.

    The art direction and technical execution is breathtaking. When I travel by horse I almost never ride fast because I want to take in the beautiful scenery. There were so many moments that made me stop and just enjoy the fidelity and the beauty of the environment. Some particular scenes were so beautiful that I remember them very clearly, like riding through an orange forest, leaves falling down and the light on the edge of that forest glowing like it wanted me to know where I had to go.

    I'm sure I forgot some things but I think you get what I'm trying to say. Sucker Punch did a phenomenal job and I hope they get the success they deserve. Congrats on a nearly perfect game.    … Expand

    Amazing to see what Sucker Punch has achieved going from Infamous Series to Ghost of Tsushima. The game looks gorgeous.

    Also, there is no level gating, where you can't fight an enemy because they are 30 levels above you. The combat is fluid and really satisfying (playing on hard). The loading times in the game are only a few seconds, which is surprising given it is running on HDD and such old hardware.

    The photo mode is rich with features. The customization and charms are fun. I feel this is the game that everyone wanted an Assassin's Creed in Japan to be. Overall, I have really enjoyed the hours I have put into this game. Congrats to Sucker Punch on this great game.    … 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.
