    THE GHOST OF TSUSHIMA REVIEW: Twelve Hours into Open World Exploration

    The Ghost of Tsushima is the samurai game that Assassins’ Creed could never be because the Samurai Code, as explained early on in the game, is about showing respect to your enemy even as he bleeds at your feet begging for mercy. Thus, the shadows will remain your tactic until you upgrade your armor, gear and technique so that you are taking on more challengers in standoffs and then combat. Perhaps this is why the stealth AI needs a patch to get up to speed.

    Sucker Punch does not delay with the gorgeous visuals and the opening scene becomes one of the most beautiful I have ever played as the beaches of Komoda are lit up with Mongol firebombs. The nature of the adversaries are also immediately set in the opening scene when Khotun Khan (relations to Genghis Khan) informs that his men have been infiltrating Tsushima while the Samurai have merely concentrated on the battle. This is an accurate allusion to the genuine tactics of the Mongols in the thirteenth century when they had sent emissaries to Japan prior to invasion.

    The open-world is available following an opening screen and score that gave me goosebumps; it is easily the most beautiful open world that I have ever played. There is a clear tradeoff between realistic graphics and beauty and Sucker Punch has used it to produce an ethereal game with scenes that deserve to be printed and laminated as art. The details in individual blades of grass, stars, leaves and ripples in the water kept me simply riding or playing the bamboo flute for a good two hours. This requires a special mention of my Dapple Horse, Kage, who enjoys the flute and will nod and step his hoofs to the melody.

    The protagonist is the young samurai Jin Sakai, the last surviving member of the Sakai clan. He is the trained stoic samurai and is hesitant to shift from his code and this could be his defining personality, but Jin is revealed in his interactions with NPCs and introspections to be clever, brave and humble. There are also moments of levity and sarcasm that tie his personality neatly and Sucker Punch has created a believable protagonist with the foresight and intelligence to organise a resistance against the Mongols. Daisuke Tsuji’s voice fits Jin Sakai perfectly.

    Combat mechanics are smooth and every button-press has weight so that spamming will end in ugly deaths unfit for a samurai and you are required to learn the sequences and combos. A personal favourite of mine is completing the bamboo sword challenges, the smooth strike of the correct combination is immensely satisfying. The combat is detailed and success requires paying attention to the style of your enemy; this is enabled by decomposing combat into stances and then supplementing with techniques and their upgrades. The shadows are not completely abandoned and tactical ghost weapons will feature when facing multiple enemies. There is no lock-on feature and this does get frustrating, perhaps it can be patched, but I can learn to live with it.

    There are details to this game that make it an absolute win for the whole family, such as the cute foxes we can pet, the pretty golden birds that take you to breathtaking locations atop mountains and in hot springs, the fireflies and pollen that light up the scenes, and the wind. I love the wind, as someone who dislikes minimaps, this game has done an absolute winner with the wind mechanics. The Ghost of Tsushima expects you to interact with your surroundings and you will appreciate the beauty of the perfect scenery. Additionally, so far, I have composed two haikus that have given me beautiful headbands and I am on a quest to gather the flowers to dye my armor to match.

    It is too early for me to comment on the story and as someone who spent 230 hours on AC Odyssey and only concentrated on the main story in the last 50 hours, I am not in a rush. The multitude of sidequests add to the depth of the main story and you meet strangers who divulge rumours about interesting places and people. I will say that it started fast and Jin’s journal plans an effective strategy to raise a resistance against the invaders. This is a fitting end to a truly memorable generation in gaming.

    Uma verdadeira obra prima do século 21. Jogo incrível, sem dúvidas um dos melhores exclusivos de PS4. Arte incrível. Ritmo muito bom de se acompanhar, e as atividades do mapa são bem diversificadas. Eu nunca dei a mínima pra gráfico, mas com essa arte e o contraste de cores fiquei admirando e usando o modo foto diversas vezes. Passear pelos campos é quase como uma terapia.

It incorporates RPG elements very well into the game unlike Assassins Creed, a game that tries to incorporate RPG elements into its game but ends up with repetitive side quests, bland open world, and a grindy level system that forces you to complete side quests to level up and have a chance at the main quests. GoT has interesting side quests like the mythical ones for example. The only problem I have with the game is that raiding camps can be a little repetitive, but the action packed and refreshing combat system helps ease the repetitiveness. As a summary GoT is an amazing game that you should definitely try if you like RPG games, open world games, Japanese culture, or games in general. Expand

    Creo que es un juego con una historia con momentos memorables. un combate balanceado y un mapa que recompensa el irse del camino y explorar.

    It is a 10 for me, is artistic and the fights are cool. im still playing i will come back for this review.

    -Im back so the graphics are not perfect in a photo realistic way they are perfect in an artistic way
    -The gameplay is good they made so that the fact that you have a sword you one shot people without armour but those armored need more hits depending if they have baboo armour they need cca. max 3 hits and if they have metal armour they need up to six
    - The story is good and a saw people comparing to assassin's creed but without teaching you history. This game is not made to teach you history it is an made of story inspired from the Mongolian invasion not the actual recreation of the historical event and if you want to compare it to The last of us 2: it is a story told from another party perspective. People complaining about being a cookie cutter revenge plot they are wrong tlou2 was a cookie cutter revenge plot but boring and useless GHOST is a story about a lost worrior who in order to save people he needs to go against everything he was taught and everything his believes stood for. He doesn't know if the ways that he was taught works against his enemies - The world its not boring and empty how jurnalists say, you have alot to do in the world aside for the story and i am glad that its not overcrowded with pointless npcs just to use up my **** console performance. and being sort of empty and silent drags me even more in the beautifully looking world's atmosphere
    - The enemies are not dumb they are generic same as in tlou2 just in Ghost they dont **** scream in your ears to force you to feel guide and they dont have level they have other patterns and tehniques to fight you. And if its to easy for you change the difficulty lol dont play it on easy as i bet most journalists did.
    VERDICT : its a beautifully crafted world with a good "lost identity and questioning your believes to do good" story with alot of tought and love put into it with a not **** large open world map that it actually feels like a videogame and not a bad movie with gameplay being an add in-between. This is a GAME made to be played and enjoyed not made to tell a message

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is absolutely amazing, the graphics, the music/sound, gameplay elevates the standard of gaming. I’ve noticed that some of towns are empty, but then you realize it part of the story line because mongol invaders took over that land and people were forced to leave the island. The ending also was odd inspiring, I never had a video game that could make a person depending on choice. If their is one piece of criticism I could it is that I wish there less fade to black and more transition animations. Over all I am still rating this game very high and I hope it is a contender for game of the year awards. Expand

Jin struggles with following the traditions of the Samurai code or leaning into the dishonorable world of assassination. The mechanics and narative even make you feel dishonorable as you play in stealth but reward you with a sense of propriety when facing foes straight on as dictated by the Samurai code.

    The combat is sublime and is pushed even higher by a great narrative that includes characters with great backstories and depth. The exploration is the best exploartion in a game that I have ever played. One of te bet games I've played this year.

Think assassins creed with better combat story and fluid gameplay and meaningful upgrades. Expand

    The game's atmosphere is unlike other game. And I see many complaining that the graphics are lower than TLOU2 but the point they are missing that graphics themselves are not what makes the game look good, it requires a ton of other things which I think Ghost of Tsushima does better than any game I have seen so far released. KUDOS to Sucker Punch.

    The developer really took an effort on researching everything about 13th century Japan. The game is really beautiful, though the gameplay needs improvement it could be fixed in the future patches... I really love the authenticity it presents, I was like watching or playing a Japanese Samurai movie. I recommend everyone to buy this game because it pays homage and utmost respect to Japanese culture.

    I think I have spent roughly 2 days into this game. From the very beginning I was hooked. The opening sequence and cut scene really tells you what you are up against. The fighting mechanism in this game is pretty good and easy to grasp. At first you will think it is pretty basic but as you level up you find that the beauty of it comes from the mo-cap attack animations.

At first you will think it is pretty basic but as you level up you find that the beauty of it comes from the mo-cap attack animations. Battles can get pretty overwhelming if you are not careful and the scenery in this game. I mean breathtaking. The vistas and landscapes in this game are pretty awesome, especially with the filter, but truth be told you don't even need it. I replaced my playstation wallpaper from the dynamic theme to one of the pictures i took. It is that good. I feel that this game is very unique in it's style. For some reason i keep thinking about Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 when I am playing maybe it is the open world....or the horses. Oh and spoiler, some of the boss battles, where you learn a new move can be really intense. Oh and for fans of the sly cooper franchise, there seems to be a bit of its dna in this game. I can't put my finger on it but it is in there. Expand

    What a game. It is gorgeous, combat is complex and delicious. The story is riveting and exciting. You just can't wait to see how it ends, yet you have your time consumed by side quests with actual meat to them. Bravo Sucker Punch.

    One of the best games released for the PS4 period. The combat is excellent, the story i gripping, the world is absolutely stunning and the music is top notch. I honestly adored this game and it sits aside God Of War as the best 1st party PS4 game. I would rate this a 9.5/10 but because it can either be a 9 or 10 here then I will round to a 10 as a 9 seems too harsh

This game is probably one of the best games i've played on Ps4. I would say it reminds me of a mix of games such as the Yakuza games with the ability to change the fighting styles on the fly to suit the many types of enemies, a bit of Far cry with its open world as well as assassins creed however this does not come with the Ubisoft acidity that you see with some games that have tried the formula in the past but failed. Story wise its good with a clear story that is well told with a selection of characters that while not groundbreaking it is still good. Graphics wise probably the best i've seen on the PS4 hardware and is more of a colourful game compared to other flagship games on the PlayStation. In conclusion its everything i wanted from a game of this calibre there are issues i have but most of them are bugs that can be patched. Also those who are saying "Americans should not make a game about Japanese " like Digitally Downloaded said. The perfect famitsu score explains itself and generally it is a faithful recreation of the Japanese landscape. The game is not a historical documentary but so was not games like Yakuza 0 with the 80's bubble culture or Black ops with the 60's. a video game is for entertainment at the end of the day. Expand

    This is an easy 10/10. One of the most lovingly crafted video games of this console generation. You can feel the sincerity in every moment of gameplay. It feels like a better assassins creed and makes you really feel like you are in ancient Japan. With more than 20 hours into the game, I can truly say this is my game of the year.

    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.
