    Great combination of open world ending up with a beautiful immersive experience.

    Didn't expect much from this title going into it, saw little to no promo, just the E3 teaser in 2018 really. This is the first game I have 100% completed.. EVER... It is seriously that enticing. I put in so many hours to beat it, that I don't know how people did it as fast as they did. This game is a 10/10 sleeper hit.

    Not only does this game play well it is absolutely insanely beautiful. I love the history and lore especially with my two favourite civilizations colliding. ticks all the boxes. the combat is so addictive i barely did any stealth unless necessary. I really hope there's dlc because after i platinum this game i will want more.

    I'm going to go ahead and give this a 10. Not because it's perfect - there are certainly some repetitive and boring elements. There are moments when you end up hunting marks on a map (although the animal system is a very smart way to try to do away with much of that). But as a package, it feels coherent, and complete.

All the little moments add up to a sense of place. This is in contrast to a game like AC Odyssey, which had great flourishes, but didn't feel grounded - too much teleporting around, too disjointed. In this game, all your actions feel like a meaningful part of the plot. Nearly all the side quests came across as part of the central narrative arc - Jin Sakai's transformation into a myth, and what it felt like to be the human going through that experience. And when, on those rare moments, all the various skills and tricks came together, hoo-boy this game is up there with the best in terms of making you feel like some kind of conflicted super-powered bad-ass.… Expand

Actually went back to replay the prologue just so I can soak in the opening again. I'm about 40 hrs in and cannot seem to put this game down.

One of the endings is sad,emotional,and heartbreaking, that just shows how much effort they put into this story.The combat is very huge even though most of the combat is like from games like the Batman Arkham series,Sekiro,Assassins Creed series,and The Witcher Sucker punch made it work,and make it look smooth and better in my opinion.The game may need a few improvements like some glitches need fixing,way points need to show when you are raiding or sneaking into Mongol camps when trying to destroy catches or freeing birds and also they needed to add a toggle aim like in Assassins creed and the Witcher so I can know where to fight the enemies,but other than that the game is GREAT 10/10.… Expand

    A game doesn't need to be groundbreaking to be entertaining, and I certainly got my fun out of it. However by the end of it, it suffers from what most overly long open world games do and that's when you've got to the end, you're just repeating what you've already done for several hours just to clear the map.

    It's hard when you're near the end of the game to be arsed to follow yet another fox to a shrine or a golden bird to a haiku for a headband. I used to wonder why on earth people said games were getting too long but now I agree. You've completed all the game has to over long before you're actually finished.

    Complete slog by the end to finish the story so I could sell them game before it dropped in value as I doubt I'll ever feel the need to replay this game or remember anything from it that much. However, as stated, entertaining enough for a while but not worth £50.    … Expand

Those who are interested can check out IGN's review on youtube. Now if you are still here let me tell you to what you can look forward to. This is the BEST open world game money can buy you. Very Authentic and original story. You will be captivated from the beggining till the end. The game is set in the beautiful scenic setup of Japan and the views are just stunning. The best parts of the games are always the combat which is very versatile but the best part is that there is no such thing as levels in this game. Even a guy who just started the game can defeat the final boss even without upgrades. So you don't have to worry about being on a certain level in order to do a mission. But if you do decide to level up and upgrade then you are in for a treat. The best armours in the game are acquired throughout the main quests and although the other armours come qith their own perks but theones you aqcuire in the main quests will give you the best perks. Do upgrade your items to the maximum level possible to enjoy the beauty of the game. But do be reminded that upgrading these items will NOT make you overpowered in front of enemies and you still have to be good in combat. The upgrades will slightly reduce the time it takes to kill the enemies which is very i significant. While you max out at everything it does not mean the game will be easier and any enemy in the game can still kill you.

    All in all this game is designed to give the players the most immersive open world gaming experience. While in other games you have to do some side quests which we do not want to play because they are boring this game provides side quests which are at times even more entertaining than the main quests. In Conclusion Ghost of Tsushima is the best Open world game that has been made till date. Right now this is the most beautiful and interactive Open World game that has ever been made and even after finishing it you can see yourself revisiting this game just to relive as the Samurai and the protector of Tsushima.    … Expand

    There is nothing I can write here that probably already hasn`t been said. But I also wanna hit on a few KEY FEATURES that I think are maybe overlooked:

    1* THE LOADING TIMES are extremly fast. You get the sucker punch logo when you boot up. Then you can continue, and it loads this game in very very fast. I`m talking less then 20 seconds. Personally I just find this fantastic.

    2* THE FAST TRAVEL again, is extremly fast...you can fast travel and depending on the location it can take as little as 5-8 seconds. This game is so well optimized.

    3* CONTROLS are just excellent. The combat is extremly fluid and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into this combat mechanic. Fan-funcking-tastic!

    4* LITTLE TO NO BUGS, maybe I just got lucky...but I have ran into almost NO bugs. Sure sure...I have seen some clipping and even I got stuck between a building and a stone wall this one time, but the game automaticlly resets your potions when you "FLOAT" for more than 10 seconds. Excellent.

    5* THE SOUNDTRACK...now, usualy I `m not one who cares much about music in a game, but I actually listened to this games soundtracks while I was working and doing study. So relaxing.

    6* THE VALUE. I got this game on release date and I have been playing (Almost) the entire weekend.I have gotten at least 20-25 hours in and I only just last night cleared the first Island.
    There is so much content here...this game truly is WORTH the €60-70 bucks.

The side missions seem to matter first off. I never feel like I’m doing something meaningless or wasting my time.

The main story of the game brings out so many emotions as you embark the journey of the main character feeling what hes feeling in moment of tragedy, honour, self discovery and revenge. There is also something addicting with mastering the way of the samurai or going with more nina-like tactis and trying to perfect both forms during combat. Overall this would be in my eyes a masterpiece. No real downside that would negatively affect my view on the game. Perhaps the only thing being that I want ever more content, even though finishing the main and secondary questlines will take you approximately 100-120hours if we include everything… Expand

The story is pretty simple and turns out is not that predictable, it gets emotional at times but ultimately, it does not leave you in a bad state when you finish. The combat is to die for! It is super fun with the dynamics of the ways to kill people.

I wouldn't have considered it super easy but in truth it really is very easy once you get to upgrading your gear. I recommend playing it under the highest difficulty just for the challenge. The only issues with this game are PURELY technical ones. Whether it be bugs and glitches. Another thing that bothers me is that character interactions are not even animated it just sort of transitioned through a black screen. Aside this, they still have trouble with how to recreat emotion. Then again, you'd have to know that the developer doesn't have as big of a team nor the budget as such in the likes of The Last of Us. Putting those disadvantages aside, it really is the perfect game. If you're into something new, or really if you like Ryse : Son of Rome, this truly is the perfect game for you.… 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

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

    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.
