    Graphics - its aesthetic is amazing and probably one of my favorites from this generation (if not ever), the graphics are very good albeit not the best and somewhat downgraded from what was shown in the trailers;

    Story - Decent enough, very engaging and the side quests are really good (very reminiscent of Witcher 3);

    Gameplay - Combat feels satisfying and impactful (in contrast to the latest AC games or even Witcher 3 which in comparison feel a bit lacking), no hand-holding, lots of tools and ways to customize your play-style. If the enemy AI and overall stealth was as solid as the combat itself, it would have been basically perfect!    … Expand

The sunsets & sunrises are some of the best I’ve seen in a video game! There are truly some beautiful moments to take in! The guiding wind feature is really cool too! The load times are very quick also, you’re not waiting long to get into the action! There is a reason why Ghost of Tsushima has the highest user review score on Metacritic! It is sad to think that GOT is probably the last game i will buy for my PS4 :( On the other hand, what an excellent game to end the PS4’s reign!!!!! In case you were wondering, i am loving this game!!!!! :)… Expand

    Advantages:

    +The art style of the game is very Oriental, even in the case of high reuse rate of materials, the production team can still control it very well, without aesthetic fatigue.

    +The combat system, highly realistic action capture, clean sword, highly ornamental performance in the game.

    +Gameplay and the main narrative complement each other. In the early stage of the game, the fighting style is dominated by the positive samurai sword confrontation. In the later stage, according to the development of the story, there will be more "Ghost" style things to play, which greatly increases the playability of the game.

    +The exploration elements of the open world are closely related to the player's attribute enhancement, which enhances the player's desire to explore the world instead of just cleaning it up.

    Disadvantages:

    - the details of the game still need to be improved,Lot of bug still there.

    - the expression of the characters is too rigid, especially when the characters are talking.

    "Ghost of Tsushima" still needs to improved, but the best part of this game is to develop its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. This is one of the essential elements of an excellent game. It is still a excellent game, Not Perfect, but brilliant.

El combate no es malo pero tampoco es una revolución tanto así que para algunos pudiera ser cansado y muy repetitivo (Tanto el personaje principal Jin, NPC, Bosses). Una gran flaqueza es la posición de la cámara, que puede resultar un tanto molesto con objetos cercanos, que tiende a obstaculizar la visión, especialmente cuando haces enfrentamientos. El mundo es gigantesco y con muchas cosas por descubrir, en verdad, hay muchas cosas que descubrir y paisajes que admirar.
    El sistema de personalización de personaje es sumamente versátil y atractivo, aunque no hay demasiadas armaduras, estas pueden personalizarse en color y en mejoras, que te ayudan a tu día a día en la isla invadida por mongoles. La dificultad del juego es completamente subjetiva, en mi particular caso me resultó bastante sencillo en "DIFICIL", habrá que probarse en la dificultad más alta, dicho sea de paso te mata al primer golpe que recibas.

    Es una experiencia única este juego, ¿Se parece a DS o Sekiro?, la respuesta es No, tiene más parecido a The Witcher y AC. Es un juego que deberías probar y disfrutar por tu propia cuenta, seguramente no te va a decepcionar.    … Expand

    A few hours ago I finished my playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima’s main story, and to put it simply, I was completely blown away. I have often seen critics say that “the combat was great but the narrative was nothing special”, and I can’t even begin to explain how much I disagree. The story takes place on the island of Tsushima, which was where the actual Mongol invasion began. You play asA few hours ago I finished my playthrough of Ghost of Tsushima’s main story, and to put it simply, I was completely blown away. I have often seen critics say that “the combat was great but the narrative was nothing special”, and I can’t even begin to explain how much I disagree. The story takes place on the island of Tsushima, which was where the actual Mongol invasion began. You play as Jin Sakai, the nephew of Lord Shimura, the man who lead an unsuccessful defense against the invading Mongols, which resulted in the massacre of almost every Samurai on the island. As one of the few survivors, Jin and his allies fight to liberate their homeland, and prevent the Mongols from reaching the mainland. If you know anything about the Samurai, you’ll know that they had an unshakable code of honor that defined how they fought on the battlefield. The thing that makes Khotun Khan such a compelling villain (other than the obvious reasons), is that as an invader he has studied his enemies, and uses his knowledge to exploit the Samurai’s virtues. For example at the beginning of the game he is challenged to a duel by a renowned warrior, and proceeds to shower him in oil and light him on fire. Because of these exploits, Jin has absolutely no chance of overcoming his opponents unless he chooses to adapt, striking from the shadows and stabbing his foes in the back. This cleverly opens the narrative to a third conflict. Whilst Jin is celebrated by the people as their savior, his superiors, fellow warriors and uncle all look upon him with shame, having seen him openly betray their laws and values. With every act, there is at least one major event that involves an epic battle that features lots of story progress, and every time they are nothing short of incredible. One thing that really stood out to me was the calm before the storm moments. Like in the Witcher 3 before the battle of Khaer Morhen you’re given the option to talk to all your companions, and learn how they are feeling about the upcoming battle. This provides a mix of dread and anticipation that you won’t see very often. The characters are also a feature in this game that I think are often overlooked. Jin himself is said to be pretty standard and unmemorable by many players, but I found him to be an extremely compelling protagonist. His voice acting was great, and as a character he has a beautiful arc of overcoming grief from his dead family, and learning to do what is necessary in order to save his people. The only character that I had any problems with at all was Sensei Ishikawa, due bad first impressions (he just came across as annoyingly arrogant). As for the gameplay, I don’t know what to say other than it’s fantastic. The combat is one of my favorites in any game period, although by the end I had fully upgraded everything and mastered it to an extent, so If you reach that point I’d recommend turning up the difficulty (final duel lasted me like 2 minutes tops). The stealth does suffer from extremely dumb AI, and is forced upon you a bit too much in the main game, but eventually I learned to embrace it and for that I enjoyed it much more. In some ways it’s pretty much the assassins creed game I’ve wanted for years. The open world is also absolutely stunning and a joy to explore. Unfortunately the first part of the island we are given doesn’t have the most varied environments, but once you finish act 1 that’s no longer an issue. There are also plenty of Mongol forts littered around the map so you’ll have plenty to do even when you’ve finished the main story. I do however wish that there was some more urban city like areas, and although the exaggerated environments are gorgeous I was hoping for something more realistic, but I can’t complain considering how great the game looks. Speaking of looks, there is also an excellent photo mode that allows you to capture and customize amazing shots to you’re hearts desire, whether it be changing the color grading or adding particle effects. You also have the option to switch the Kurosawa mode which changes it to black and white, with more authentic 50-60s movie audio. It’s a nice tribute to one of my favorite movie directors and I’ve heard that many people are discovering his films for the first time. Of course it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. The pacing in the first act is pretty poor, and the lack of combat abilities it gives you at the start might turn off newcomers. There are also some pretty boring side events on the map, like following foxes to get charm slots (… Expand

I never used fast travel in this game for the reason that riding a horse in this world is so immersive, that i want to feel the cold breeze, the smell of flowers as you go quest by quest.

    The sword fight is so damn good. The mechanic to switch stances between enemy types is something new - atleast to me.

    The stealth, i must be honest, the AI is so DUMB even on highest difficulty that it drags away the xperience of becoming a ghost. I expect it atleast in the level of tlou2.

    The traversal is not that fluid, most of the time your movement will blocked by small things that you thought should already be passable - you know when you push the L STICK hard

    Main Story is decent, i wish they added more mythic tales though. Despite all the bugs and frustrations i got in this game, this game gives an awesome samurai experience. Another flawed masterpiece.

    I hope TLOU2 will win GOTY, but if, not Ghost really deserves the award as well.

    Honestly, this is the greatest game I have ever played. Had this come out in 2019, I'd call it a contender for game of the decade. If you are to play just one game this year, please play Ghost of Tsushima. The breathtaking scenery, the perfect attention to detail, the true to life lore. I'll be honest I m already starting my second playthrough and I can anticipate many more.

Se tutto ciò non bastasse ad accostarsi alla mappa c'è il combat system, curato in tantissimi dettagli che lo rendono appagante , per esempio le 4 forme da usare contro i nemici possono essere mischiate anche con gli strumenti per creare delle final kill fuori dal comune senza bisogno delle skill che si apprendono con le missioni(per skill intendo delle mosse che consumano la determinazione, ovvero la contro parte del mana per le magie che specifico non sono presenti, per dare vita a mosse finali incredibili, inoltre il sistema di parata e schivata sono perfetti e rendono giustizia alla leggenda dei samurai. La fase stealth l ho apprezzata soprattutto quando ben eseguita, infatti è bellissimo sbarazzarsi di 5 nemici in un attimo, questo è possibile solo grazie al parkour molto simile a quello di Assassin's Creed, con l aggiunta di un rampino alla Syndacate. Posso criticare sono la monotonia degli assassinii a catena, i quali hanno sempre la stessa animazione. L'esplorazione è uno dei punti cardini di questo gioco come ho scritto sopra, la mappa presenta tantissime aree diverse e fotogeniche che sono cosparse di innumerevoli punti di interesse divisi in 6 categorie più alcune speciali:si possono infatti onorare i santuari delle volpi, dei kami, tagliare il bambù, riflettere nelle sorgenti termali, comporre degli haiku e trovare oggetti di estetica nelle tombe dei guerrieri caduti (tutte queste attività si ripercuotono sottoforma di potenziamento). A questo proposito voglio soffermarmi sulla personalizzazione che all'inizio del gioco può non risultare gran ché, ma che da il massimo verso l'endgame, momento in cui si dà per scontato che tu abbia molte risorse. Per il comparto tecnico e grafico vi invito a vedere con i vostri occhi ciò che questo gioco ha da offrire, posso dirvi che il dettaglio che più mi ha colpito è quello dei particellari, ovvero le foglie che cadono dall'alto, queste foglie sono fisiche, ciò vuol dire che al contatto con il suolo diventeranno parte di mappa e che la stessa foglia se mossa dalla scia di vento del cavallo si risolleverà e fluttuerà fino a ricadere, e se la foglia cadesse in acqua rimarrebbe a galla e inizierà a muoversi lentamente come nella realtà. Ora, non è che dovete acquistare il gioco per le foglie, però quello delle foglie è l'esempio di quanto questo gioco sia curato nei minimi dettagli, non al pari di rdr2, ma che se messo in una scala dove rdr2 è 10, GoT lo seguirebbe con un 8,8. La storia ci racconta le vicende di Jin Sakai nella liberazione di Tsushima, ciò può risultare monotono ma se giocato bene vi terrà attaccati allo schermo per ore. P.s. io l'esperienza del completamento del gioco la paragono a un piatto di carbonara, dove tutti i vari punti di interesse vengono paragonati a dei pezzettini di guanciale in mezzo alla pasta, se questi vengono mangiati insieme possono dare un sapore, se lasciati per ultimi ne danno un altro, io consiglio di dirigersi da una missione all'altra a cavallo laddove il pezzo di mappa che separa te dalla missione fosse inesplorato e di non andare dritti alla quest' ma di completare i punti di interesse che si troveranno durante il cammino. La recensione finisce quí, buona giocata… Expand

It really came to a head at the end of the game and I'm glad they went the route they did. Combined with the combat system here that really takes time to master, it makes for a great game, outside of the same old open world side mission style gameplay. All the usual side missions are here: liberate the villages, collect the vanity items, etc. While the combat system helps to alleviate this some, i still felt like I had to grind out some of the early map stuff just to gain enough upgrade points to level up. And not doing those early quests can really hurt as the combat system can be brutal for newcomers. At the end of the day though, the open world stuff isnt enough to kill my interest totally in this game. I'd have much preferred that Last of Us 2 be the swan song for the PS4 but this game does do alot to stand out on its own, especially with how pretty the game looks. I'd easily recommend it to anyone looking for a great game for their PS4 this summer.… Expand

    While games like Red Dead 2 sacrifice fun and gameplay quality in the name of immersion, GOT nails pretty much anything it does. Stealth and combat are both always viable and fun, exploration is awesome, and the game achieves a cinematic feeling while also being a charm to play. Though the story could be better, GOT is probably the best open world game since Witcher 3.

    I thought I'd write this review differently, and list out the nit picks that didn't gel with me in this, because so much of the game is fantastic. Everybody knows by now the game is a winner, so what's not so great in it? Spoilers: game is definitely worth a purchase, If you have a PS4, I say go for it. It runs like a charm even on a base system. It looks breath taking, as many have said already, and a wonder they got it to work the way it does (inc fast loading) on what amounts to 7+ year old hardware at this point.

    So, a few things. I dislike that you have so many charms (basically for player builds), but you don’t feel compelled to really try them. Many of them for me were superfluous from really early on, and the ones you do need you'll probably have them equipped the whole game, to never be removed. I thought the dev's could have made the game demand using charms for some parts.

    The game combat tips that happen in mid-fight are annoying, if you're in a 'wrong' stance, and they even happened well into the game getting into its last act. Option to turn on/off, please Sucker Punch? Option to have them off by default on hard mode, at least, maybe?

    Once you are done with the admittedly engaging main story, there's the side tales, and mystic tales. I have to say, a lot of the side stuff was what I expected it would be. Much of it is very Assassin's Creed model, e.g. go into a fortress, rescue / free someone, liberate fortress, liberate entire Island, find collectibles in fortress, etc.

    Let's say you never played an open-world game, or at least not one of the last two Assassin's Creed games, you will be 10/10 blown away by the game as a whole including the whole liberation mechanic. If you've been into AC Odyssey, it's basically more of the same, in a nicer skin, with nicer combat and not as much to get lost in, and there is 'a lot' as it is. What it does mean is it suffers from the same repetition as AC. For instance, there comes a point where liberating a fortress doesn't have the same sort of appeal, you know? And there are around 60 of them if you want to have at it.

    I found the touchpad button is used in a really cool way, be it bowing, playing flute, or using the excellent wind navigation mechanic (idea lifted from Zelda - Breath of the Wild). This being said, I found it easy to bow by mistake when using the wind mechanic. It's quite sensitive to doing what you don't ask, because it's a swipe as opposed press. I really liked using touch pad, but it wasn't perfect.

    So all in all, in spite of a few nit picks, a very solid open-world game with insane looking art design and visuals, sound, attention to detail, excellent cut scenes, etc etc. For me, it's an 8/10, but for someone less familiar with this type of game, maybe a 9 or a 10. On that basis I'd really recommend it to someone as their first ever open world game. But even those who know open world games will be very impressed by this game.    … Expand

    This entire game was a love letter to old Kurosawa movies and is built with such passion, dedication and love that it's breathtaking.

The best way I can describe this game is that it is historically accurate, it feels like assassins creed should’ve felt without all the isu stupidity. It is not on the other hand physically accurate, much like assassins creed odyssey your character tends to feel like a Demi god in their destructiveness.

The combat and stealth mechanics are well polished and with the higher difficulty settings as well as more accessibility option the game is perfectly tailored for a challenging but not fair experience. To top it all off the customization adds an amount of flair that makes the playthrough feel unique to the player. The only downsides to the game are primarily house cleaning for instance I played exclusively in Kurosawa mode to enjoy the beautiful 50's Japanese film style graphics, but a mechanic related to which attacks can be blocked and which have to be dodged, was omitted from this mode and made parts of the game more difficult and confusing than need be this could be easily fixed with a simple patch.

On the other hand, combat and exploration are exceptionally entertaining. Overall, The reason I'm giving Ghost of Tsushima an 8 solely resides on my opinion that there could've been more polish to the Artificial Intelligence, which can be downright broken at times (I once ran into an enemy running in circles against the corner of a wall.), stealth mechanics, and maybe a little more character development (I found my self not quite interested in some of the side characters), but with its slick combat and thorough open-world mechanics and details, this is certainly a game I can easily recommend to anybody who's just looking for a good time.… Expand

Some of the cutscenes and lip syncing to the dialogue can be a little wonky but that’s a nitpick honestly.

    Most games and movies that come out these days make you feel like you're having your face shoved in **** by sick industry people who think they're better and more moral than you for being nihilistic hacks. Ghost of Tsushima, on the other hand, feels like taking a cleansing bath in a hot spring.

    Every aspect of the game is overflowing with a respect for concepts that are maligned by    Most games and movies that come out these days make you feel like you're having your face shoved in **** by sick industry people who think they're better and more moral than you for being nihilistic hacks. Ghost of Tsushima, on the other hand, feels like taking a cleansing bath in a hot spring.

    Every aspect of the game is overflowing with a respect for concepts that are maligned by today's media 24/7 - concepts like beauty, honor, tradition, manliness, bravery, sacrifice, nationalism, virtue, etc. From the moment Jin leans over to touch the grass as he rides through it on his horse in the intro, you are compelled to love and defend the island in all its beauty - this is your land, you know it, you love it, and you will fight for it. In many ways, Ghost of Tsushima is very similar to 1917 - an anachronistic story that starts off gritty and grounded in realism but which becomes a legendary, larger-than-life, homeric epic rooted in classical, traditional archetypes as it goes on. There is no subversion here, only sincerity.

    In terms of gameplay, this game is one of the best examples of character progression this generation, but what makes the gameplay truly special is the degree to which it informs and furthers the narrative goals of the game with regards to Jin's transformation into the ruthless Ghost. Unlike the experiences of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted games, which have singlehandedly popularized the idea of "ludonarrative dossonance", every action you take as Jin feeds into the narrative of Ghost of Tsushima to support and bolster it. In a rare display of growth in an industry beset with staleness, Sucker Punch has discarded all traces of gimmicky good/evil paths and has instead opted for a strong and clearly defined vision for Jin's story arc, and the result is a narrative full of conviction that feels like a breath of fresh air at a time when most games seem to be content to lazily push the player to "make their own story!" The side quests alone are more tragic and compelling than the entirety of TLOU2, but they don't make you feel like burning hot garbage because unlike the story of that game, Ghost of Tsushima's quests are written with a respect for characters and with an awareness of the importance of things like honor, dignity, and human life. Almost every side quest ends in an incredibly sad manner but the game handles these tragic moments in a way that reaffirms the importance of Jin's mission rather than devaluing it.

    The final and perhaps the best piece of the puzzle is the world of Tsushima itself, which bustles with the beauty of generations-old history and the suffering left in the wake of the invaders trying to destroy it. I don't think I ever ran past a single peasant that was being held hostage by mongols on the side of the roads along my path without stopping to rescue them, and it bothered me everytime I failed to save any of them because of a mongol who slipped by me and stabbed them before I could stop him. Such moments are littered throughout the game world and all its beautiful landscapes. You could be taking in the beauty of a forest of white trees bathed in moonlight one moment and then coming across the burned corpses of some innocent Japanese peasants in the middle of the same forest the next in a totally organic sequence that would then linger in your mind until you reached your next haiku spot on the edge of those very woods, and sat down to reflect on death. It's thanks to these moments that Ghost of Tsushima manages to be both more tragic but also more life-affirming than nihilistic trash like TLOU2, and becomes far more deserving of every GOTY award as a result.

    The game is very beautiful. The gameplay is good although a little buggy. The dialogue and the story have some major issues. There are some very good plot points but the problem is how to get from point A to point B.

There are some very good plot points but the problem is how to get from point A to point B. There are several links missing creating huge plotholes due to lack of attention to details and lazy solutions. The main character's personality is bland and does not make you attached to his story. The only time you feel as a samurai is when dueling which is by far the best thing in this game. The transformation from an honorable samurai to a dishonorable warrior comes naturally to Jin and rather easy to someone who spent his entire life up until that moment as a samurai. It would have been smoother if he was thought by that thief or by a shinobi. The navigating wind system is a very good idea.… Expand

    gameplay is really good but I didn't feel like I relate to any of the characters. the story could have been much better and the side missions seemed repetitive and kinda boring. the only reason I'm giving this an 8 is the gameplay which is one of the best gameplays I've seen in a game.

    Great game that’s has a beautiful opening! I loved almost every second of this beautiful and lush game. Even though the stealth gameplay is very average, the samurai gameplay is satisfying. The story while not very interesting, the side characters have some astonishing traits that kept me playing the game. Can’t wait to see what this studio comes out with next.

    In breve: Il gioco mi ha divertito un Sacco. Era da tempo che non mi prendevo così tanto per un videogioco. La trama è ben fatta e le attività secondarie si lasciano finire tranquillamente senza mai annoiare. Dal mio punto di vista è un gioco da 9(incentrato maggiormente sul gameplay), ma per protesta gli do 10 visto che in Italia a mio parere è stato criticato un po’ pesantemente(miIn breve: Il gioco mi ha divertito un Sacco.

    A stunning game with an impactful story of honour and the need of replacing traditions in fear of dogmatic responses to an ever changing world. A must play and a gem in the Playstation Exclusives.

    With an engaging story, fun combat, and great voice acting, Ghost of Tsushima smashes all expectations I had in the months leading up to it. And aesthetically speaking, I truly feel it’s the most beautiful game of all time imo. What a way to send off the PS4 before heading into the next console generation.

    Good story, AD, visuals and music. Boring missions, sometimes stupid ai and okay stealth. Good first entry, hope for more.

    Absolutely incredible, the environment breath taking. Love the story and evolution of Jin's character. Climbing could've been abit more complex. All I have to do now is fill this giant void in my life.

    This game is GOTY if not Cyperpunk 2077, I really like it, the story is so good , and it develops over time until the end, the combat is so addictive, I never felt that before, it's like you are welding a real sword, music and graphics are superb, the drawbacks like the enemies are repetitive, it should have more variety, and much harder it should be, boss fights should be different, notThis game is GOTY if not Cyperpunk 2077, I really like it, the story is so good , and it develops over time until the end, the combat is so addictive, I never felt that before, it's like you are welding a real sword, music and graphics are superb, the drawbacks like the enemies are repetitive, it should have more variety, and much harder it should be, boss fights should be different, not repetitive, but what should we say, it's the way of Samu/Ghost. Overall it deserves 9.5 , but I will give it 10 here… Expand

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
