    Beautiful, fun with many interesting mechanics, it plays like a dream with perfectly mapped out controls. The characters are interesting, not cardboard cutouts, flawed people without being beaten over the head with it. It pulls you in and keeps your attention! Can't wait for more games like this from Sucker Punch.

The graphics achieved in this game are mind blowing, making you enjoy your aging console that’s about to be replaced by the PS5 as if it was new again, but it’s not only the graphics that make it great. Everything from the standoff mechanics, to petting foxes instead of stupidly shooting at anything that moves, brings thoughtful and welcome changes to the genre. It really deserves a score of 90 or higher. It’s a shame there are so many trolls who are out to discredit Sony’s exclusives.

    I have always loved all Japanese things, especially the culture and story of japan. I absolutely loved this game from start to finish. Even though it has some flaws like the facial expressions and animations, especially in the Japanese track, these flaws doesnt make the game less immersive. A no brainer 10/10. And i would even say it rivals The Witcher 3, maybe even better in some ways.

    Half of the game size other AAA titles have. Close to no loading times. NPCs run at your speed an even go on horses if you do. Stunning visuals and so much more.

There's only been a handful of open-world games that I will actually want to see and do everything, and Ghost of Tsushima is absolutely one of them.

    It definitely still has its repetitive moments, but its broken up with its attention to detail, and gorgeous art direction. I constantly found myself switching outfits, slow walking, and sheathing my sword over and over again simply because it looked awesome. I often found myself using the games amazing cinematic features. This is hands down one of the best games on the ps4, and its a fantastic way to end the console life-cycle.

    Easily one of the best games I've ever played. No other game has come anywhere close to the graphic quality of this game and it's use of HDR lighting to achieve such beautiful scenery. The small details such as wiping blood off your blade or petting foxes that lead you to shrines is a treat and the combat is incredibly satisfying

    The writing is pretty solid and so is the voice acting. The graphics is one of the best of all time and the music is really good as well. The combat is satisfying whilst the stealth is way too easy as the enemy ai is dumb as. The exploration is very serene and the locations you find never get old until the very end. Overall this game is great with nothing except the camera falling below average.

    Undoubtedly a masterpiece and a true love letter to Japan told by Sucker Punch.
    We can see how much impact it has, completely selling out physical copies in Japan.

    It loses one point for me for controls being a bit janky, and the battle camera isn't the greatest.

    However as time goes by enemies get stronger and sometimes you have to use stealth skills in order to complete the mission.
    Jin (You) don't wanna fight these stealth ways because its too easy and unlike Samurai.
    This players struggle, and Jin's struggle are perfectry matched.

    Combat system = the best

    At least this game has best combat system compared to any other openworld game.
    stealth combat is too easy for me but I know its designed easy.
    but the Samurai way of combat is soooooo addictting. you have 4 stances. so variation of combat is a lot.
    and the parry system is sick! You wanna wait thier attack to counter attack them and thats the Samurai way.
    If you play this game, im sure you automatically being Jin.

    Gameplay = 10/10

    One of the things that I really admire this game is that no minimap on my screen.
    ''Wind guides you'' such a beautiful idea.

Sucker punch crafted an amazing open world; and I was constantly amazed at how beautiful it was. I was also was constantly surprised by how deep this game was, whether that be by side content, the robust rpg elements, rewards, or even cosmetics. Story-wise it was good, nothing really amazing imo. The game had decent amount of A.I issues that did break the immersion for me personally, and I wouldve like to have seem more mission design variety. Overall, though I did really enjoy this game, and can easily reccomend if you like the mix of AC and the witcher.

    Pros:
    + Open world is amazing, one of the most aesthetically pleasing ones to look at and explore
    + Combat is fun and addicting
    + Mythic tales, and shinto shrines, I even liked the haiku's a lot (side content)
    + Surprisingly robust and deep rpg elements
    + Decent story
    + A lot of content

    So-So's:
    * Jin definately grew from an uninteresting character to somewhat enjoyable by the end, and that goes for almost all major side characters.
    * Khotun Khan was under-used, could've almost challenge Vaas (Far cry 3), as one of the more badass villains, but alas..no
    * Side missions overall were ok, the variety was def there...but still some were interesting, some were generic.

    Cons:

    - Stealth was too basic.
    - Enemy A.I ranges from mediocre, to average. Combat wise, they were decent, but everything else.. below average- mediocre.
    - Mission design could've had more variety. Ride, Combat, stealth was mostly it.    … Expand

    With an incredible story and gameplay, with bugs, and some graphic parts without polish. A wonderful culture, with characters who are motivated to be what they are, and the sensitivity to show the lifestyle of the people at that time. The set makes Ghost of Tsushima incredible. Imagine the sequence on PS5.

    What stands out in this game is the art direction and colors.
    It's a beautiful game.
    The weather is amazing, the textures are good. The game is very good graphically

    Themes of honor and vengeance run deep through the saga of war torn Tsushima from the main campaign to every little side mission making it one of the most heavy gaming experiences out there. Awesome little touches and mechanics add even more shine to this gem that could only exist through the inspiration of ancient Eastern civilization.

    Took me 3 days completing the campaign with 50% of progress, still a lot to squeeze, I thought BotW was my favorite game ever, but this surely dethrones it, I´m in love, PERFECT GAME.

Even thought the game looks amazing, some of the textures are low res and if you ask me the game looked better back when they revealed it in 2018.

    The story has a lot of interesting characters and the pacing of their various issues is well done. The game play is pretty tight, though sometimes it gets ganky and you attack nothing or you have a stand off and the camera puts a giant tree branch just so to fill the entire screen. This is rare and often recoverable, but it's a thing that happens.

Let me just state that I'm naturally quite wary of games that have either full or near universal acclaim, especially because such a score (given by """"professional reviewers"""") is almost always inaccurate and/or shady. However, once again, this is one of the rare moments when 10/10 is perfectly justifiable. This game oozes soul and feels more like a labour of love than a commercial product. The art direction is excellent, the story is fun, and obviously there is a lot of eye candy as far as graphics goes. But the highlight for me is the gameplay and the open world environment that truly makes you feel like you're living in an Akira Kurosawa movie. This game is most definitely one of the best 2020 releases by far.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just played through the game and this is why I gave it a 9/10:

    The game does a great job at making me feel like a samurai in a beautiful Japanese setting with lots and lots of honour. The graphics are great. You can see clearly how they didn’t bother to add some irrelevant details to textures but instead rather put their work in the important parts, which make the game look the breathtaking way it does at many points.
    Fast travel is just as I always wished a fast travel feature would like be, and dying in a chaotic fight isn’t quite as frustrating, when the game manages to reload the map in 2 seconds.
    The gameplay is hella fun, you unlock different stances during the game and unlock new techniques frequently, which enhance the gameplay rapidly. I really loved the mechanics.

    Now for the camera. I must say, the camera is no problem at all. I really don’t understand any ist complaining about it. Maybe you just aren’t used to it, but it really does not do all the weird stuff other people complain it would. Choosing the right enemy to attack is not broken nor buggy either. I always attacked the person I intended to attack and it never did anything on its own. Just get used to it lol, don’t cry about it when you’re the problem.

    The only negative aspect on this game for me is the lack of emotion. It’s kinda stupid when you know that your allies can’t die off because of they did you couldn’t do their side quests. It always felt save doing the main quests, knowing that none of them would end in a death scene of one of the allies. The moment Taka said he wants to be a warrior I knew he’d die soon, but his death wasn’t that tragic, the only thing I was afraid of was Yuna being mad at me. There were no really emotional scenes in the game. The ending scene with the uncle crying had me confused, because I didn’t really understand what the game tried to make me feel, since Jim seemed not to bother at all about. The only moment that had me kinda sad was when my horse died. I really liked the pick your horse and name it part. RIP Sora, 31st July 2020.

    The story felt pretty generic, but well this isn’t some fantasy game. They tried to make a game about the history of japan and its samurais, and they did a brilliant job in my opinion.

    Conclusion:

    Pros:
    + gameplay
    + graphics + setting
    + foxes
    + camera tbh, I liked it
    + pretty much everything about the game, except for

    Cons:

    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.
