    Goty easily it’s not even close. Makes tlou2 look like trash because it is. Hilarious how they gave this game a 83. When tlou2 has a 94. Idk what game they played but this game in literally every single way except maybe graphics but that’s preference because this game is beautiful and the load times are like 2 seconds on the pro.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I have come into contact with the work of suckerpunch. This work was created by a Western company based on the motive of another country, but it is surprisingly well understood and well described. Due to the characteristics of the subject matter of this work, it inevitably contains beautification of samurai, but I personally don't think it's a big problem because it also clearly describes the part of alternative history, or rather degrades it. As for the action, it's perfectly designed. I think it is a very good judgment that Parry created a special attack by enemies that cannot be prevented in several stages so that it is not a universal measure. It's a big disappointment that there's no additional content or newgame+, but it's a great masterpiece that ended the twilight of PS4.… Expand

    This game is so much better than The Last of Us Part 2, most importantly its storytelling is making sense. Good action and beautiful, I enjoyed so much playing this game. Will never buy any Naughty Dog game anymore, eps. Last of Us franchise, NO MORE!!!!

    An amazing well designed game. Sucker punch production amaze you with its graphical details in every point of the game. The open world concept is well thought and has Been executed very well. My only complain was with a few minor glitches and NPC movements which im sure will be fixed in future updates.

    I am a huge fan of samurai movies, and pretty much anything set in old school Japan. This game ticked all the boxes for me. Amazing combat that is surprisingly deep, beautiful world to explore, and meaningful side content to do. This is a true masterpiece as far as I'm concerned.

    This is the perfect game to end ps4 era with. Fantastic from start to finish. Sucker Punch made the infamous series which to this date is my favourite superhero games of all time. I was really surprised that they didn't go for another but like Guerrilla Games did with HZD, they managed to outdo the game series that they are known for in every way possible. First of all, story wise :This is the perfect game to end ps4 era with. Fantastic from start to finish. Sucker Punch made the infamous series which to this date is my favourite superhero games of all time. I was really surprised that they didn't go for another but like Guerrilla Games did with HZD, they managed to outdo the game series that they are known for in every way possible. First of all, story wise : classic revenge plot done perfectly well. No doubt it is nothing ground breaking in this aspect but this is the tale you want to hear. Classic, simple : good old vengeance. And I would say it felt really really amazing to do the main quests. But there is a reason why I think this game is almost perfect in every other way. First : Graphics are amazing. The world is gorgeous and the setting is just amazing. When it rains and you are riding your horse through the beautiful forests of Tsushima, you can almost smell the earthy scent emanating from the ground. But well visuals are visuals, they add to the experience, so the gameplay : this is where the game shines. It might be the most satisfying game I have played this generation. The sword, the combat : everything is perfect. This is what Assassin's creed should be whenever they decide to bring the series to Japan. The combat is responsive and the system of choosing between stealth and killing by stabbing people in "not so samurai ways" (makes sense in the story) or challenging the people to a stand off and honourably having a well crafted fighting sequence is upto you and both are done perfectly well. Finally, the place which is usually where a lot of open world games fall apart : side quests, side missions, exploration and collectibles. And I am glad that the level of quality of these matches that of the main campaign, graphics and combat and makes the game feel extremely immersive. There are three types of quests mainly. Main, Side and Mythic. And while main is obviously the important one, the other two are amazingly well done. It never feels like you are doing chores to just get to 100%. You simply do them because you just want more and more. Exploring the world to find the relaxing baths, the shrines, following the foxed and birds, finding things and protecting people: all feel natural and are something you would do without even thinking about it. Usually when going for 100% in even the best of games, some tasks are just too repetitive (I feel this way about even one of my favourite games of all time : red dead 2 and even about the easy to 100% Spiderman ps4): but in this it doesn't. Because, the combat is so well done that you keep wanting to fight more enemies. One side note: the way this game handles the map is amazing. If you have yet to try it, you will see what I mean when you do and yes, ofc, buy this. No doubt worth it. Overall, easily one of the best games of this generation with an amazingly well done campaign, fun side tasks, beautiful graphics, great presentation, awesome combat and a really well crafted open world and plus, a really nice way to handle tracking quests, maps and all with minimal intrusion to the experience : this for me so far is GOTY 2020.… Expand

    Sony has done it again! Major props to Sucker Punch who made a perfect realistic Samurai game that gamers have been waiting eagerly and anxiously for since its teaser premier years ago at E3. This is the game we needed after the latest controversial Sony exclusive that had the fanbase devided. 2020 is not over yet but Ghost of Tsushima is thus far my game of the year. It has earned a 10 out of 10!

    The game itself reminds me a lot of the assassins creed games which I both like and dislike at the same time but it doesn't take away from the gaming experience. The map is very large and prompts the user to go and explore its massive landscape. If you love long games and massive environments this is the game for you.

    If you want a game that makes you question whether you should sleep or keep playing it, play Ghost of Tsushima.

    Yes. Is that good.

    Minor cons: the soil texture in some places look like a 2015 game. And some random enemies look too generic like in an early 2000 game

I remember the first time they presented it like a year ago or some, but I never expected this game was going to be this beautiful, fun and addicting. I'll say little about it so I dont spoil much, but hey if you like samurais and classic samurai or sword play or katana action, THIS GAME IS FOR YOU.

    The music is masterfully done, with some iconic pieces along with some really pleasant background music.
    The open world gameplay, a much loved genre, has been improved on in almost everyway. A cinematic and compelling main story, is supplemented with interesting and diverse side missions. On top of that, the open world staple 'copy and paste' missions, have nice gimics e.g. the fox, and are varied enough for them to soften any 'grind' these missions usually have.
    The combat is challenging and detailed, mixing assassins creed style stealth, with God of War level fights. Any fan of Tenchu will undoubtedly want to play this, and anybody who wants to feel like a strong hero can't go wrong with this game (even while retaining the challenging gameplay).
    This is a wonderful game, which has set the bar higher for open world games. Not only is it great, but the fact his is the new gold standard means I cannot help but give this game a 10/10. I look forward to playing Ghosts of Tsushima on the PS5, and also the sequels, which I hope will be made for decades to come.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game from every part is amazing from graphics to story to the traveling and gameplay it’s all amazing

    Story: The story is great giving lessons on not blindly following because your told to, this is showed in jins story of his inner struggle to either do what he knows he must to save the island or what his Samurai rules tell him to do, which can be powerful, the side quests are surprisingly on the same level as the story even having more Emotional moments at times, I would recommend doing the evolving side quests which progress along with the story Gameplay: The katana fighting is amazing, the stances bring an interesting take on this partying system helping you break the enemies guard depending on which enemy type they are, there is only one issue with the gameplay and that is combat or even the general being inside small huts our houses as the walls and objects inside get in front of your screen and can get you killed, this also happens with big bushes, trees or objects in front of your camera, this can be an issue at times and is the only big issue I had with the game. Not having small animations when picking up items is refreshing as it does not waste time when trying to jump in the action as quick as possible, and at times makes playing a lot easier as riding on your horse you can pick up everything on your journey Graphics: The graphics are amazing with the vibrant colours of the environment and small detail in trees and grass, although the game doesn’t focus on the small human features as much such as perfectly defined faces, I think what they’ve done has more importance than that.

    Overall: The game is near perfect only having one or two issues that don’t define what the game is and can be fixed with game patches and updates, I’m giving the game a 9.6/10 but I can’t as there is only a 9 or a 10 option and 9.6 is closer to 10 so that is my score    … Expand

Até aqui, ainda não fechei o jogo, não quero que acabe esta jornada e tem sido prazeiroso descobrir contos, eventos e histórias deste momento tenso da história do Japão. Estou realmente surpreso com o nível de qualidade e fotografia do game, me deixando com um gostinho do que será a Next Gen.… Expand

    Es un juego con unas graficas excelentes rodeado de una ambientacion al puro estilo de peliculas japonesas con una historia y una jugabilidad donde al principio la vas a sentir algo lenta pero segun avanzas en el juego y vas desbloqueando mas habilidades tanto la historia y la jugabilidad se van poniendo sumamente interesante RECOMENDADO

    When first seeing the gameplay and story trailers I had really high expectations, but this game surpassed them all. The story felt new, interesting and kept me hooked. The side quests, which is where a lot of RPGs tend falter, were really good. Never did it feel like the side quests dragged on nor did they get boring.

Never did it feel like the side quests dragged on nor did they get boring. Most of these side quests also had twists to make them more interesting and surprising. The gameplay was extremely fun; the movement made me feel quick and nimble, the combat was really cool and thrilling especially as you unluck more stances, and exploring the world was a truly great experience. I'm sure most agree that Ghost of Tsushima has the most beautiful environment ever seen in a video game. The only place I was a little disappointed was in the lack of variety in boss movesets, but I guess there's only so much you can do with a katana/sword. Overall, highly recommend playing this game!… Expand

Everything in this game is awesome, beautiful, or stupidly well written, Sucker Punch did it again, they made me cry with the ending. It's such a beautiful moment, that really embraces everything the game was about, it makes the game feel completed. Gameplay is pretty standard, i wouldn't say it´s groundbreaking and does things very differently, but its not like some have said that it is a lot like Assassin´s Creed, anyone that says that, played AC once and that´s it, and it's coming from an AC fan, and even then the best one it's not even close to GoT. That being said, simplicity once again outperforms complex gameplay. Some people think that the main focus of a game should be the gameplay, and i feel its just wrong, neither is the story the center of it all, you can have either without the other, and that's a balance GoT has mastered to perfection, cause the main drive isn't for you to experience a never seen before gameplay, bu to experience the conflict, story, and battles as much as possible. Story wise its perfect, its a 10/10 in those regards, excellent writing, excellent performances, and excellent characters, just like Infamous Second Son, Sucker Punch have delivered a masterpiece in storytelling and character development. So....why not 10/10? Mainly because of bugs, repetitive scenarios near the end, i mean it still looks beautiful, the art is always amazing, but i feel the last territory isnt as spectacular as the first 2. There is also some side quests that aren't really that interesting, and you can easily lose focus on it rapidly, however gameplay for all of this have an amazing pacing going from story, to battles. GoT is definitely the best game of this year, a true masterpiece we should all give them a huge round of applause to Sucker Punch, Sony should definitely invest more money and faith in them, can't wait to see what they bring next… Expand

You can see the care and love with which they played the game. Of course, there are many things to polish that ruin the game, but there are more positive than negative things that completely obscure the bad things that the game has

    I will write this review in Spanish and English, since I am from Mexico.
    Let's start with why I bought ghost of tsushima. Since your ad I waited too long for 2 years. And I had a lot of Hype for the fact that it was Samurai, Stealth and beautiful landscapes.
    As I write this today, August 8th, the day the game ends, I can completely say that Ghost of tsushima is the best game I've ever    I will write this review in Spanish and English, since I am from Mexico.
    Let's start with why I bought ghost of tsushima. Since your ad I waited too long for 2 years. And I had a lot of Hype for the fact that it was Samurai, Stealth and beautiful landscapes.
    As I write this today, August 8th, the day the game ends, I can completely say that Ghost of tsushima is the best game I've ever played. But it's not a good game just because it has beautiful graphics. Let's start with the story. Story: From the first moment you start ghost of tsushima you get involved in the kinematics and you feel the courage of the Japanese to face the Mongolian invasion.
    The story is so well made and the writers and scriptwriters of the story deserve respect without any doubt. THIS GAME has the most exciting, epic and sad story of all the games I have ever played in my life. If you have any doubts about the story. The story is a 10/10
    The gameplay is simple, with a complex battle system that involves you in katana fights. The Horse Saddle is simple and makes you enjoy riding all over the map.
    On the graphics are beautiful, the landscapes, trees, grass, weather honestly almost never make you want to take any quick trip and just want to ride.
    Honestly the game is a very incredible, entertaining game. The missions are not repetitive or at least I didn't feel that way. I sincerely hope to see Ghost of tsushima as game of the year

    Escribiré esta crítica en español y inglés, ya que soy de México.
    Empecemos con porque yo compre ghost of tsushima. Desde su anuncio lo espere demasiado durante 2 años. Y tuve muchísimo Hype por el hecho de que eran Samurias, Sigilo y unos paisajes hermosos.
    El día de hoy que escribo esto 8 de Agosto día que termine el juego puedo decir completamente que Ghost of tsushima es el mejor juego que alguna vez haya jugado. Pero no es un buen juego solo por tener gráficos bonitos. Empecemos con la historia. Historia: Desde el primer momento al iniciar ghost of tsushima te envuelves en la cinemática y sientes el coraje de los japonéses ante la invasión de los mongoles.
    La historia es tan bien hecha y los escritores y Guionistas de la historia merecen respeto sin duda alguna. ESTE JUEGO tiene la historia más emocionante, épica y triste de todos los juegos que he jugado en mi vida. Si tienen duda alguna sobre la historia. La historia es un 10/10
    La jugabilidad es sencilla, con un complejo sistema de batalla que te envuelve en las peleas con katana, La montura a Caballo es sencilla y te hace disfrutar cabalgar por todo el mapa.
    Sobre los gráficos son hermosos, los paisajes, árboles, pasto, clima sinceramente casi nunca te dan ganas de tomar ningún viaje rápido y solo quieres cabalgar.
    Sinceramente el juego es un juego muy increíble, entretenido. Las misiones no son repetitivas o al menos yo no lo sentí así. Sinceramente espero ver a Ghost of tsushima como juego del año    … 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.
