    Created an account just to sing the praises of this masterpiece. That critic review of 83% is nonsense. This is the most immersive and exciting game I've played since Red Dead Redemption 2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muy buen juego con personajes memorables que no se quedan en las dos dimensiones con una historia triste con buenos momentos que mientras avanzas se oscurece más, un divertido estilo de jugabilidad y un mapa más que diverso en las regiones haciendo un bonito mapa. En los enemigos se haya unos con diferentes estilos marcados por el estilo de combate del protagonista. Lo que podríamos decir que faltó son la variación de animales pero como el juego no está enfocado en cazar animales se le puede perdonar. Finalmente los objetos coleccionables están bien separadas y puestas en lugares hermosos del juego y fácil de encontrar si te pones a explorar el juego, como dije antes las misiones de la historia principal pasan de menos profundas a más haciendo que quieras ver que pasará después, las secundarias a menos que no se trate de un personaje principal no son tan memorables y llegan hacer algunas repetitivas aun así se disfruta al darte peleas y para mi los relatos míticos son la mayor razón para explorar ya que obtener esas armas, armaduras y técnicas míticas es una gran satisfacción a la hora de mejorar a Jin.

    What can I say: beyond my expectations!
    Graphically beautiful.
    The Game-play is easy to learn and well mastered. The soundtrack is just Fabulous. (Masaka Dono theme is just WoW) The story is well written, I did not get bored even once even in with the little stories. A very realistic open world with no unnecessary or inconsistent corners. Tsushima Island was very pleasant to walk.

    Tsushima Island was very pleasant to walk.
    The characters, how not to speak about it, Shimura, Masako-dono, Ishikawa Sensei, Taka ... Yuna ... all equally charismatic with their own character, inhabitants of Tsushima, it was gratifying to follow their stories.
    It has been a long time since I had such a great gaming experience.

    Story is a masterpiece. Game has great concepts and ideas which are implemented well throughout except some areas which need polishing. Mechanics could use some work which is why it isn’t a 10 but other than that it’s a must play.

    Amazing game. I actually rented this game and immediately bought it after the first few hours. The combat is great, the graphics are really something else, so beautiful and technically proficient. The story is interesting and the characters are likeable. Overall I would say this game is far and away the best I've played this year.

    Que jogo foda! História, gráfico, jogabilidade e trilha sonora tudo perfeito. Sistema de combate desse jogo é muito bom. Eu que não tenho paciência nenhuma para platinar resolvi platinar esse jogo. Minha unica crítica vai pra dificuldade que mesmo no letal continua bem fácil. A câmera no começo atrapalha um pouco mas no decorrer do game você acaba acostumando.

    Game is beautiful! Its not the graphics that make is so beautiful but the colors! The story itself is hit or miss for some people but I've enjoyed it! I played it too 100% completion which is very for me to do. It losses a point for the camera during combat.Sometimes its perfect most the time a forgivable headache. Highly reccomend!

    Ghost of Tsushima es un juego magistral con unos escala visual impresionante, con un sentido de exploración intuitivo, con una historia fascinante y con unos personajes caracterizados por el sentido de nacionalidad japonesa.

    First of all, congrats to Sucker Punch! Outstanding job!

    I've been waiting patiently for this game since October 2017, for almost 3 years we've waited and it did not disappoint. It's not a perfect game, but it's surprising how they pulled it off. Everything looks gorgeous, the photo mode is a beast! and the game play gave me 6 days of sleep deprivation.

    I have played the most fun open-ended Japanese period drama game in my life. It is perfectly presented and boldly challenged the Kamakura era in Japan, which is the least described. Although the game does not correspond to historical facts, it is still a great game.

    Unbelievable game. I found 3 general disadvantages. First is lip sync. As far as I understood lip sync was done for English language (I didn’t try English voice over). This distracts a little. Second is some animations which some times go wrong. For example some times game overs look like mongol warrior spins a little so his swords are cutting your head off and not you arm or leg.

Second is some animations which some times go wrong. For example some times game overs look like mongol warrior spins a little so his swords are cutting your head off and not you arm or leg. And the third thing I could say is a weak point is the open world it is not so rich with independent events and when you are beating the game for the 4-5 times it is getting boring. But all this things are insignificant. Game is amazing totally worth buying. I live in Russia therefore price is a little different. If I transfer 4400 rubbles for standard edition it makes 60 USD, but due to financial crisis 4400 rubbles are not 60 usd equivalent. Few years before 4400 RUR was 110 USD. As you already guessed nobody got rise so we paid 110 USD for this game but I will pay it again. My final rate:
    Graphics 9/10 (I would rate it 8/10 but I understand that even PS4 pro can’t handle 10/10 graphics)
    Story 10/10 no commentary needed Battle mechanics 10/10 (close to other games but still is as complex as Sekiro but more casual so it does not distract you from story too much)
    Complexity 9/10 (hard level could be a little more interesting)
    Ability to replay 7/10 Other features 9/10

    My final rate is 9/10 but because of haters SJW and other people whose life goal is to get offended. I rate this game 10/10 would buy again

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game was fine until you get knocked out by a wooden stick and they kill Taka. Contrived storylines in a 100+ hour game? That’s a load of **** and these writers should all be fired or relegated to writing for Family Guy as apparently they just love to rehash tired old cliches. I didn’t give any thought or care for particularly any character in the game as none are very memorable and all of them are one dimensional and show no growth outside of Jin. Don’t waste your time unless your a fan of something you’ve seen a million times done better in almost any medium. Even the Japanese aesthetic runs thin and gets boring and bland a third of the way through the game. 100+ hours of wasted time in the most tedious dull and underwhelming story I’ve ever experienced which is a shame because it started off so strong with epic battles, learning stealth and tons of techniques but it just grinds to a damn halt and I’m struggling to find a reason to care in the slightest for the well beings of anyone. I’m more sympathetic to the mongols at this point and want all of Tsushima to just be killed off. Here’s hoping that’s how the game ends with everyone dead because it certainly has bored me to death.

    I didn't expect the game to be this good tbh

    Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game, this WILL win best art direction at the game awards. I have not enjoyed an open world this much since red dead 2, it is filled with cool stuff to do, there are different types of side missions. First is your average side mission where you have to kill a guy or save someone, then there are mythic tales

    I have not enjoyed an open world this much since red dead 2, it is filled with cool stuff to do, there are different types of side missions. First is your average side mission where you have to kill a guy or save someone, then there are mythic tales (this is where it gets interesting) in these missions you hunt down myths all over the island, very well written and interesting. There are also character tales, you will encounter some characters throughout the story and you can help them in their own troubles outside of the main story, while not as good as mythic stale, still some solid side missions

    The combat is the best thing about it, it is very satisfying and challenging. You never get tired of the combat in this game

    The story, while some found it generic, I found it very good and it can get you emotional at times, it is not some masterpiece but it is a story told very well

    Stealth, I do not usually use stealth in games (not a big fan) it is basic stealth but I enjoyed it

    The soundtrack sounds like something out of God of War, it is amazing

    The load times are insanely fast

    I have a problem with the camera, things get really frustrating at time when you are fighting an enemy and the camera is stuck behind a wall and I also have a problem with unskippable cutscenes and I hope they will bring a New game plus soon

    Overall, 9.5/10 amazing game

You should pick this game up for your PS4. I can't wait to see what other games SuckerPunch will release cause they blew my mind with this game. One gameplay element that I wish was there is a lock on mode for enemies. The camera is pretty bad at tracking you and sometimes you can't even see enemies. But other than that it's a pretty good game i think you should pick up if you have a PS4 or if you're reading this in the future for your PS5.

I really look forward for replaying it in winter time, just composing haikus and petting foxes. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I even begin... This is by far one of my favorite games. Between the combat, art style, story and characters, I’m not sure words can describe this game. The sword play is spectacular and so fluent. It feels so natural and not clunky at all. Switching between stances and learning how to properly take down opponents is so interesting. The one on one matches have to be my favorite part of the fighting.

    This game made me want to forgot my horse and walk across the huge map on foot and take in all there is to see. I have never taken so many photos in a game before. Every time I went to a new area I would stop and just look around, eyes wide like a child seeing magic for the first time. The story was so captivating, I never wanted to stop playing. I wanted more and more of the story every time I finished a quest. The twistS in the side stories and the main story were beautifully executed. Seeing Jin turn from a honorable samurai to the Ghost was an experience I will never forgot. The character development from the friends you meet along the way was both heartbreaking and gratifying. I will forever recommend this game to anyone, do yourself a favor and become the Ghost of Tsushima.

    The game is an absolute masterpiece, beautiful visuals, the story pulls you in, every side mission has a tale to tell. Every character has a story, you truly become immersed in the world of Tsushima. By the end of the game you truly feel like you have become the ghost, every enemy is terrified of you. If I could genuinely rate this game higher I would, it is my GAME OF THE YEAR.

    obviously a beautiful game, pretty straightforward story, like able characters, the combat is smooth... being able to confront any mission with stealth or regular combat is a nice option, have a large array of tools to fight with makes combat more fun.

    I only picked up this game at the suggestion of my friend— I had no previous intention of buying this game ever, once I started playing it

EvenMy first ever game I cared to actually get a platinum trophy and post a review on Metacritic. I also got all the artifacts, records and banners, etc, to prove I played game thoroughly. Honestly this is one of the best games I have ever played. The combat is really fun and the story is engaging. The world is beautiful and Sucker Punch really captured the mysticism of Feudal Japan. Even though the fast travel was "fast," I found myself just traveling everywhere I needed to go. Everywhere I went was just an amazing vista, and I felt that this whole world was hand crafted with love and care. I found hours of my time melted away just playing this game living in it's world.

    The combat at first will take some getting used to, but as you progress the story you really get to feel that the combat evolves to how you want to play. I never felt locked down to the Ghost or the Samurai play style. Sucker Punch gave me the choice on how I wanted to play the game, and made all my battle encounters exciting.

    The story at face value is cliche, but the way the narrative progresses you see lots of little nuances that just keeps you captivated all the way to that powerful ending. The characters are so well written and really memorable. The pacing I felt was centered around player agency and I really enjoyed that you can experience Jin's transformation alongside him. It really felt like I played the game and was part of the story and not the other way around. Heck there were some moments in the game that had more emotional weight compared to the entirety of other "Story" driven games.

    A few cons of the game, is that the camera can be a little janky at times. It can get caught in the environment blocking your view. Enemy AI still needs some tuning for more immersion. I really wish some of them just didn't stand there or did not react when they say a fallen friend. I know the lethal mode was just released, but it just feels like the enemies hit harder and not smarter. I really didn't experience any bugs in my play sessions so I can't complain about that. Another small nit pick would be that the NPC models do get repeated a lot and that you do rescue a lot of the same characters on the road.

    The game is fun, really fun. I want to give it a 9.5 but Metal Critic won't allow it. Your doing yourself a disservice if you don't go out and play this experience. Regardless if the game did anything new or not Sucker Punch stuck to core values and made the game fun. I will be anxiously waiting for a N+ mode to play this game a second time. GOTY in my eyes, go play it!

    Ghost Of Tsushima is the most beautiful game I've ever played. In the runnings for favorite game of all time. GOTY hands down.
    I'm a pretty critical individual and don't review games too often - Ultimately, I would say 9.5/10, but the execution and extent of what they've accomplished with this title is deserving of perfect marks.

    Ghost Of Tsushima is the most beautiful game I've ever played. In the runnings for favorite game of all time. GOTY hands down.
    I'm a pretty critical individual and don't review games too often - Ultimately, I would say 9.5/10, but the execution and extent of what they've accomplished with this title is deserving of perfect marks.

    Graphics/aesthetic - Often times I found myself traveling through the open-world in astonishment of its sheer beauty. No 2 places look the same, and there is a massive dynamic to the geography of the land of Tsushima.
    This game was able to take me away to a kind of "happy place" w/o causing analysis paralysis. Incredible.

    Audio - I'm a big sound guy and the soundtrack wasn't anything too memorable to me, but it was still killer. I really enjoyed how Sakai's flute was incorporated into the game, albeit seldomly. The score definitely helped "get me" at the end when transitioning into the credits. Beautiful.

    Story - Was incredible. A couple of parts made me go "hmm plot convenience/hole?" but those were few and far between.
    The game is true to a samurai's tale, which was a huge deal to me.

    Characters - Great development from beginning to end.

    Gameplay - My favorite game mechanics to date (for the most part). I love not having to wait for stupid animations when doing menial tasks like collecting bamboo or picking up linen. This is something that bothered me with titles like RedDead2 and Farcry5... like... why do I have to watch the character pick leaves or skin an animal every time? I have things to do. Please don't waste my time.
    However, just like in RD2, this game allows you to approach most situations however you like (stealth/aggressive) BUT sometimes makes you handle certain tales specific ways, which can confuse gamers... Especially if they are stoned... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

    Combat - is killer and makes you feel like a legit samurai. Super smooth and graceful. The way you level feel clean and gradual as well. The only gripe here is a lock-on system would have been beneficial. Especially for indoor combat. But ultimately I found it so fun that I can't even start to complain about that.
    Standoffs and the last stance you acquire are so pimpin when used in succession*

    Conclusion:
    Bravo Sucker Punch. Bravo. This game is truly phenomenal.
    Can't wait to see what's in store from you guys next!

    Critics giving this game an 8.3/10 discredits their ability to analyze a game from a player's non-bias perspective.
    Ghosts better beat "tlou2" (which got a 9.4 meta) for GOTY or we'll know there's some shady stuff going on behind the scenes - That game was a burning dumpster fire. This game is a timeless treasure.

    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.
