    Love everything about this game, got the platinum and doing a second play through with lethal difficulty. Really recommend the game for anyone who is looking for a best story setting open world game.

This is one of the few games where I actively sought out sidequests, the world feels so unique and developed, you can tell suckerpunch put a lot of care into this game. Coming off of the disappointment that was TLoU2, this game was a MUCH needed palate cleanser. The characters all feel like actual people, each with their own distinctive personalities. I will say the main bad is a little disappointing BUT, his boss fight is extremely fun despite his (spoiler kinda) lack of on screen presence. The skill tree is extremely fun to progress down, I never felt like I NEEDED a certain skill to help me progress, I just chose the ones that looked the coolest and went from there. If you are on the fence about this game I highly recommend just buying it. I hardly ever rate games higher than a 7.5 but this game genuinely deserves the 9 point rating. Expand

    Love the combat and the overall open world gameplay. Almost no bugs, can be set to high difficulty, very small game size (in GB) yet hours of fun. Super fast loading screens. I have nothing bad to say about the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man was this a great game. a definite GOTY contender. The graphics just made me keep playing even after completing everything and made me roleplay as a wandering samurai in feudal japan.
    The combat was one the best sword fighting combat system ive seen since witcher 3, combined with the matching soundtrack made this a perfect samurai simulator. The story was good nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable none the less but it would have been better if the story had been impacted if you chose to play as a samurai instead of the ghost but it wasnt that big of a deal breaker also wish there was some replay ability but that can be added later. Overall i just love this game and we needed something like this after the disastrous last of us 2

    @SuckerPunchProd please, with all respect to you, fix the bugs and Artificial Intelligence of the enemies, and improve the textures of the game mainly the water. It's a game that has great potential to be a new franchise for us @PlayStation fans.

    The story is not that all but it's still great. The characters are strong developed and I feel empathy for them
    Taking the facial expressions aside, the graphics are one of the best of the generation, the scenarios are just amazing and the combat is fluid and energetic
    The open world and parkour mechanics are fun and opens lots of possibilities to explore

    Hands down one of the best games of this generation! The world design is topnotch, the gameplay and exploration is crisp and smooth though there are some minor camera issues but still that doesn't affect the smoothness of this game. The main story and it's characters are also great and memorable. Most of it's sidequests have a lot of depth in its story and their own twists and turns.Hands down one of the best games of this generation!

    This is sadly one of the worst story games I have ever played.
    Story: The story line is extremely stale with not even 1 surprising twist, everything played out extremely predictable, none of the boring 1 dimensional supporting characters helped make Jin even remotely interesting. Kutan Khan is such a cliche "super smart" villain that just makes everything else play out way more cliche.

    Story: The story line is extremely stale with not even 1 surprising twist, everything played out extremely predictable, none of the boring 1 dimensional supporting characters helped make Jin even remotely interesting. Kutan Khan is such a cliche "super smart" villain that just makes everything else play out way more cliche. The campaign was emotionless, boring, basic, and predictable and it doesn't help that every character had awful writing. It was not engaging, compelling, or creative in any way.
    Visuals: Its really disappointing to see a game that takes place on one of the most beautiful places on earth miss the bar graphically, compared to other triple A games such as Last of us Part ll this game looks pretty mediocre. The amount of cut out cut scenes that were just black screens is disgusting, during multiple cut scenes, Jin was not even moving his mouth while talking. Overall the visuals are just meh, nothing stood out to me.
    Game play: While the game play was cool at first, it got repetitive extremely quick, with only 2 assassination animations, extremely easy combat, and some of the worst A.I it was hard to be engaged at all. You could assassinate people within 10 ft of a guard and he doesn't see or hear anything, it was some of the worst programming for A.I's i have ever seen. The stances were cool but then just became a nuisance having to switch ever 5 seconds. The duels are a weak attempt at trying to capture the hardness of dark souls but in the end its just flat out boring. There was one move that the A.I spammed all the time and it was a poke. This move reached almost full screen, had extremely fast start up, was unblockable, and hit for 90% of your health even with maxed out armor. The only way to avoid it was to jump and even then it would still hit even when i was above the swordsman's head or to parry which was extremely hard to do and the parries did even register half of the time. Combat was just not fun and took up time.
    Glitches: Don't even get me started on the disgusting amount of glitches. Some of them were
    Characters mouths not moving when talking
    Movement glitches that make you randomly fall
    block button not registering against move that were blockable
    parry registered only 60% of the time
    Not being able to run
    not being able to switch stances, equipment or weapons
    taking damage before cut scene is over
    and this is just naming a few.
    Overall talking about the game in full and all of its flaws would take forever so in summary, it has combat and gameplay that is ripped of from other story games, the worst story i have ever played, awful writing and characters, countless glitches, and graphics that don't even reach the bar.

But it doesn't matter cause everything else is really great, for me is actually a 9.8 but you can put decimals in here but well. Very recommended game Expand

The world alone is masterfully colored and designed for exploration and creativity in both stealth and action combat. I couldn’t put this game down even after the story had finished.

It feels like you really are making the island of tsushima liberated with each missions you finished. that is just the side missions. The main missions are epic and truly captivating.

    Gameplay wise, its god sent. The controls are responsive, and being the "Ghost", it really makes you feel like a really bad ass. the massive creativity, the combinations, the animations, everything feels so immersive that you feel like you really are Jin Sakai and you are a real badass.

    the world building, the gameplay, the story, the immersiveness of the game blends perfectly in this one game that really leaves an empty space in your soul once you platinum finished the game. Overall, this is the best game that can send the ps4-era a big send off for its era of games.

    What you need to know:
    - This is a Sucker Punch game, combat WILL test you. When you don't get it, it's very frustrating as a dozen enemies pound you from all sides. When you get it, you will be a God of Death, carving a swath through your enemies as they void their bladders in fear. I can clear out an entire camp of 50 mobs and feel just on the edge of dying all the time, but I don't, by the skin of my teeth. The balancing is perfect.
    - I've seen some people complain about the lack of humor. Well, this is a Kurosawa film. It's very grim and serious and there is humor but it's very dry. You're not going to laugh out loud, but there's lots of opportunities for a grin.
    - The very worst thing about the game is how the camera loves to obstruct your view and they weren't polite enough to make anything blocking your view transparent. That's not hard, so that's a full point off there. All I can say is use the roll button (circle) till you have enough breathing room to move the camera.
    - This game is f@#$ing huge - 5 years worth of development. You'll get your money's worth.

The cinematic work is masterful showing of the japanese cinematography and culture. This game plays like a dream. Any mistakes i made during gameplay were my own and i felt completely in control. The leveling up mechanic in this game is fantastic and makes you feel like you grown from a weakling samurai to a force to be reckoned with. The flexibility in choice of abilities allows for endless opportunities to grow and best of all defeating and observing your enemies helps you counter other enemies you are likely to face.

    The game is beautiful and made me feel like i was in japan in at 1274 during the mongol invasion. The collectibles also are very useful from new hats to new masks and other items to have fun with on your journey. The story for a simple as it seems is amazing combined with the side quests makes the story a who lot more enriched and somber. The story was told beautifully.

    There were some glitches i ran into on my playthrough like when i air assassinated someone through an object it caused my assassinations to be glitched and would cause detection issue or how the final tale of norio quest causes the fox dens to glitch and foxes would not show up. beating the quest and resetting the game fixed the issues and definitely did not take away from my enjoyment especially since they did not happen frequently or were very minor with easy fixes.

    I liked the wind system but i wish they showed you the exact location instead of approximate because when hunting for collectables it became a big pain because the wind was not always very fun to follow or would not show up at all on my map until i moved a while. I think the wind works for things with a little less amounts to them the banners and other large quantity items were very annoying. I think an exact location would have worked way better on things like the banners or scrolls and artifacts.

    overall i think this game is amazing and definitely is a 9 out of ten. from how cinematic it is to its fluid clean gameplay its easily my favorite game so far this year

    Ghost of Tsushima era un juego que me llamaba la atención porque lo vi como el AssCreed Japan que Ubisoft nunca se atrevería a hacer. HOWEVER, Unas 50 horas into the game y esto es mejor que todas las épocas exploradas por AC (I ain't saying AC sucks, I'm saying this is better).

    Tienes dos opciones para aproximarte al combate. Balls to the wall melee combat que simula perfectamente un duelo de espadas (it's Samurai Shodown levels of Samurai gameplay) y Ghost Tactics (o sea sigilo, veneno y subterfugio). Sin embargo, you can use both.

    El combate es bastante sencillo, you got your light and heavy attack botons con evasión, evades, blocks, deflects y parries además de un par de armas secundarias para complementar (algo así bien Arkham-Asylum-ish). Es bastante realista, solo necesitas un para de sablazos bien dados para tener una muerte asegurada. It takes a lot of skill llevarse grupos de más de 5 enemigos si decides irte de frente y al choque. Por el otro lado, para los ghost tactics también tienes herramientas sencillas. Bombas de humo, ejecuciones a lo AC, Arco y flecha ara hacer silent takedowns a distancia, campanas y fuegos artificiales para desviar a la atención, un grappling hook for some second story work y escabullirte entre partes clave de las construcciones que encuentras en el juego.

    El approach en la historia varía dependiendo de quién acompañe a Jin. Si estas con Ishikawa-sensei o Shimura-sama usualmente vas de frente (I'll provide context for this later) y si estás con Yuna, Ryuzo o Kenji vas a usar ghost tactics más que otra cosa.

    Es en las secciones de mundo abierto del juego donde realmente tomas el approach que te parece mejor. And boy is there a lot to do en la isla Tsushima sin seguir la historia del juego.

    El balance entre el combate y stealth a lo largo de la historia es bueno. Hay una mecánica bastante prittona: los Stand Off, en los que retas a alguien a un duelo de un solo golpe. No puedo enfatizar lo suficiente la importancia de maxear esa sección del skill tree ASAP.

    Una vez dominas la mecánica del Stand Off y la maxeas puedes acabar con escuadrones enemigos completos simplemente batiéndote a duelo con ellos. Ahora vamos con la historia y los personajes.

    El juego toma lugar en la invasión de los Mongoles a Japón en 1247, Jin (nuestro protagonista) es un noble joven de la isla de Tsushima. Al ser huérfano de padre y madre Jin es quién representa a su clan la batalla de la bahía de Komoda, al lado de su tío Lord Shimura, el Jito (gobernador), de la isla de Tsushima. La batalla termina mal, todos los samurais de la isla de Tsushima son exterminados en la batalla de la Bahía de Komoda salvo Jin, que es rescatado por Yuna (una ladrona) y Lord Shimura que es capturado por Khotun Khan el primo de Kublai y neito de Genghis. Khotun aprendió japónes, estudio la política, tradiciones, costumbres y filosofía de los japoneses para entender su idiosincrasia. Dándole entendimiento de las políticas locales y el estado de la población. Toda la preparación de Khotun da como resultado una lucha desigual en la que los mongoles arrollan a los japoneses como una aplanadora. Jin luego de ser rescatado por Yuna empieza a aprender los beneficios de luchar desde las sombras (algo que va en dirección opuesta del Bushido). Sin embargo, ese apego al código de honor samurai es lo que los ha hecho predecibles a la hora de luchar con Khotun. A lo largo de la historia vemos el dilema de Jin en adoptar esta nueva forma de ver la guerra que es considerada deshonrosa por mentes más tradicionalistas. Pero también está la parte de como los mongoles usan rehenes y esclavos para hacer que las tácticas frontales pierdan su efectividad. Y hay varios flashbacks de Jin aprendiendo kenjutsu y bushido en el que se aprecia esa yuxtaposición entre el código de honor y hacer lo necesario. En el apartado visual, puedo decir con toda certeza que este juego es lo más hermoso que he visto en un PS4. Desde la arquitectura de los templos, la configuración de las aldeas, los paisajes naturales, altares y acantilados a lo largo de la isla. Este es un juego que apesar de haber sido inspirado por películas no vende su identidad tratando de ser una película interactiva. La música es buenísima y los efectos de sonido del viento, lluvia, relámpagos, el galope de los caballos y los cortes de la espada son envolventes. Hay un buen par de bugs y glitches en el juego, pero no restan en nada a la experiencia. Mi score personal para Ghost of Tsushima es un 9/10. Y está en el Valhalla de Obras Maestras de esta generación junto a Witcher 3, Red Redemption 2 y Breath of The Wild.

    Undoubtedly the best game I’ve ever played! Graphics: 9/10, not the best detailed game; however, this game has best scenery, a perfect and inspiring live movie, whereas the others were just static photos.

Nevertheless, the game creates an entire open world, dedicated to full gameplay immersion in its several elements, which amuse the player by taking Jin in profound and deep sentimental stories about lost, honor, vengeance and kindness.
    All of this, being told by either Jin's perspective or as his allies perspectives, or even enemies, which in the end sometimes make you understand and comprehend the caracthers and their actions.
    Needless to say, it is a game in which you discover a lot about a different culture and gets an insight over human beings and their feelings.

    Asides from a few minor issues with the camera and the lip synching for the Japanese dub, this is a near perfect game. The environment is gorgeous, the story is compelling and the characters are very interesting. If I were to nitpick one thing about the animation, it is that the characters don't move very much during cutscenses, but that is a very small complaint.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect sendoff to the PS4 era. SuckerPunch created a game that truly does justice to the japanese setting the game takes place in, all while putting you in the shoes of a conflicted Samurai ready to do everything, including breaking his own code, to save the people and the island that he loves.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect sendoff to the PS4 era. SuckerPunch created a game that truly does justice to the japanese setting the game takes place in, all while putting you in the shoes of a conflicted Samurai ready to do everything, including breaking his own code, to save the people and the island that he loves.

    Jin Sakai is yet again another amazing Playstation Icon to add to the roster of amazing exclusive titles that Playstation has to offer. His story while not the most original, is inspired by classic Samurai Tales of old, quite reminiscent of Seven Samurai or even Yojimbo, drawing a clear inspiration from the works of Akira Kurosawa and doing justice to his legacy in videogame form.

    It's a gorgeous game, with amazing combat, breathtaking visuals and a lot of sidequests and exploration to partake in. Side characters, especially those tied to the main story, are all interesting and fleshed out in sometimes in heart wrenching ways. These characters and their backstories are truly worth delving into. Meanwhile quests like Mythic Tales expand the lore in true SuckerPunch fashion, with truly beautiful artistic flare that invokes japanese ink paintings, Sumi-e.

    You will get lost in this world and the game rewards exploration. Finding new cosmetics, hidden secrets and places is well worth it and gives you a satisfying feeling that your wandering paid off. No microtransactions here, everything can be found in-game and it's truly a staple of Playstation games at this point to give everything away within gameplay and not as something you pay extra.

    i could go on and on about why this game is truly a masterpiece deserving of being called the Playstation 4 era's Swan Song, but play it for yourself, get lost in this world and you'll see what everyone is talking about.

    Very disappointed in this game. Game looks great but it has loads of filler and the story and writing is poor imo. Combat is very easy and gets old quickly. Camera angle is very clunky. Game feels very dated, if it came out 3 years ago I think it would have been received much better. Disappointed.

    Taking into account the fact that I practically love Japanese culture, which can prevent me from having a 100% critical position towards this game, however, I doubt that it is not worthy of the high scores given by the users.
    Now either in terms of the concept of the game or rather in the context in which it is located not only for me a big fan of Japanese culture but also for people who are not very familiar with it, it seems a great success on the part of Suker Punch, put not only in video games but also in the movies, a story has been placed within the kamakura period, that is, the period in which the Mongol invasion took place, the reason why I think it is a success is that just precisely at that time the development of a character could be appreciated quite well as a samurai would avenge his people after an enemy invasion, implementing well not only the arrival of the enemies you face, but also the actions and the how the secondary and tertiary characters as well as the protagonist Jin Sakai are developed.
    As for the development of the characters, you can get to see a good job, showing in a very realistic or better human way the different problems that develop within the game, in certain cases you can see certain decisions in which you think not They are the correct ones, however, I think it is a success since a character who always makes choices perfectly does not feel human, this also allows a good development of the main story, which I think has as its main purpose, to show the Like a war that devastated the island of Tsushima and what this triggers, it changes the behavior and thought throughout the plot, what I mean is that there is not a contrast only between the beginning and the end as usual pass in other titles, if not the characters evolve after each event in the game.
    Now changing the subject I want to highlight the incredible graphic section that the game presents, until I tried Ghost of Tsushima, I had never seen a graphic section that focused more on representing the beauty of the landscape than its own realism, although it is true that if you are looking well within the wide world of tsushima you can find textures that after you observe them for a while you realize that they do not look so good, I think that is not the end of the game, if not beautify the landscape with certain resources that seemed to me Incredible like the amazing movement of the lawn and sometimes multiple particles like the leaves or the lawn itself, while some games focus on incredibly detailed and practicing textures without any pixels, GoT focuses on lighting or reflection and on the movement of things like grass, which in my opinion give as a unique satisfaction and which I think was completely adequate to represent the great beauty of Japan.
    However, after all these great successes, it is notable that the biggest failure he has is his artificial intelligence in general, not only the enemies that many times can pass from you completely even if he is in front of them, which greatly affects the style of stealth combat, but also the artificial intelligence of the NPCs and their different patterns, many times it comes to feel that they are robots that when you pass in front of them they answer you with a calculated and perfect body movement, which can ruin in certain it forms the atmosphere that the game generates in places like towns or camps.
    As for more specific levels such as certain technical touches, more specifically the collisions which in my opinion should have polished them much more, it is a failure which I see as one of the most notorious, mainly the collision that the main character has with the slopes u some objects that houses the world, I feel that if they had taken a little longer to improve certain technical aspects it would have been a game that without a doubt would have deserved a 10.
    In conclusion, this is an incredibly good and much better game for people who love ancient Japanese culture, or the culture of war in general, however for someone looking for new and unique innovations or mechanics it will be a good game but it will not be a Wonderful

    I truly didn't see this coming.

    Two main things in the game, gameplay and graphics.

    I've never seen such beautiful landscape in an open world game.
    I use photo mode every 10 minutes and this is a BIG thing, since it's the first time I give a **** about this function.

    The feeling of just contemplating Tsushima is similar to what I had playing The Witcher 3 (especially the last DLC), Red Dead Redemption 2, Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us (these last two don't really count since they're more linear and story driven).

    Gameplay is just fluid (minor bugs that don't kill the experience and are likely to be patched in future updates).
    Combat makes you feel like you're a samurai (haha can't believe I just said this).

    The 4 four stances and how you can learn to change between them during combat feels so baddass.
    Slicing, cutting and killing feels real and brutal. (unlike Assassin's Creed and some other games).
    Starting the game you may feel there's not much in combat, but start upgrading to become Afro Samurai, Batoussai, Sekiro, Isshin Ashina, Genichiro, etc.

    Story so far is a 8,0-8,5, pretty good for an open world title. (I'm still in the beginning, since I'm loving to explore, upgrade, duel and let this immersion take me to all corners pf this island.

    Jin is a great protagonist and a wonderful add to PlayStation's list of amazing characters.

    This game really surprised me, no joke

    Can't hide bodies in a stealth game? This obvious.

    Where are the choices? Sucker punch is known for their infamous series where they give you choices to where the story can go. Wish they had give me the choice to let me choose wether i want to be samurai and ninja (ghost)

    Yuna - I dont understand why she was so prominent in the story, we could have done with-ought her. The story kept pushing her as some one i needed to care about but i didn't? She was serious and stoic just like Jin which made their interaction uneventful and boring.

    The game was missing some levity. Playing a game for 60 hours and everyone just being depressed or dying get exhausting. I understand the subject matter is serious but even Yakuza has a dramatic story but they still have fun funny side quests to balance things out. Because remember this is a game not a movie.

    Needed way more dismemberment.

    Ryuzo was wasted. He was the only other character (besides Khan, Uncle and Jin) i thought was cool so the way his arc ended was very disappointing. I had wish his conclusion ended in a more positive way especially since the rest of the cast of "friends" are lame.

    The Supporting Cast - the crew you recruit just don't do it for me, they have their background and stuff but i didn't really get invested in any of their stories. Quite honestly i would have been ok if Jin went through his Journey all alone.

Just there to stagger enemies and leave them open. Most other attacks you unlock for stances are pretty much useless as they arent anymore viable than your basic moves. Other aspects of the gameplay include doing some pretty great side stories, some of which span the entirety of the game with many twists and turns. Although the endings to them can be hit or miss. This gane never really gets repetitive either. Theres alot of different collectibles to find and mongol territories to do. But since you can tackle then in any order its really your fault if it becomes repetitive. The story was well done with well written characters. Some archs i wouldve liked to see a bit more fleshed out. Overall, this game was good and I welcome a sequel if Sucker Punch chooses to return to Jin Sakai in the future. Expand

    This sh#¡t is the bomb!! If you're hesitating, don't, go buy it. Play it on hard for better experience. Only 1 complaint, constantly rescuing people from the mongols on the road might get tiresome from time to time

    Interesting rich "mosaic" narrative with very well written characters and faithful to the Japanese historical setting. Satisfying combat with many interesting ideas that keep it fresh throughout the hours. Great artistic direction, loving the Kurosawa black&white mode.
    Also one of the best intro in the last years!
    Maybe only misses a bit more variety when it comes to side contents (a bit

    Overall well done Sucker Punch, stunning and impressive!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I want to address the things that were negative about this game:
    As you may have heard in many reviews the camera doesn't always behave in your favor which is true. Though for me there have been very few instances where this has caused major problems, it was still very annoying at times. There are other games where this works better. This could be esily fixed by making everything that is between the camera and the character transparent, at least in combat, especially when it's right in front of the camera and blocking the entire screen. As I've said, it didn't cause any major problems for me but it was pretty annoying in some situations.
    The other thing that bugged me was the ocean sound. I can't help it but the ocean sound and wave sound effects seem to me like they've been recorded on a phone. Compared to all the other sound effects it seemed unclean and low quality. Now maybe my brain is just misinterpreting it and the sound effect is perfectly fine but whenever I was at the shore it felt off.
    Now the next point I'm going to make isn't really a criticism but more a wish for the future. New Game+. Especially since there are alot of outfits and colours that can only be unlocked late in the game it would be nice to have a New Game+ mode where you can use all of them from the beginning. They could still add a New Game+ mode with a patch but right now, there really isn't anything like this.
    So, now that I told you everything that bugged me with the game, let me tell you about what I loved.
    There is a very minimalist HUD. In fact, when you run around and explore the world there is not a single HUD element on screen. You use the wind to guide you to your next questmarker which works perfectly fine and doesn't take away from the immersion. this really helps you to look at the world, explore and immerse yourself. The combat is fluent, interesting and it is a decent challenge. Now it isn't as challenging as a Dark Souls game or as Sekiro for example but it's way more exciting than Assassins Creed in my honest opinion.
    The world itself is beautiful - the art and level design is really impressive.
    The voice acting is also done really well. I played the Japanese dub. Now the movement of the mouth is matched with the English dub and some players were irritated when they played the Japanese dub but I personally wasn't bothered by that at all. In fact hearing the Japanese voices helped me to get even more immersed in the world and the story.
    And speaking of the story, this is the one thing that surprised me the most. This game tells it's story so beautifully.
    Major Spoiler Coming in:
    The conflict between Jin and his uncle, Lord Shimura is at the heart of this story. Lord Shimura values honour above all and so does Jin at the beginning of the game. Lord Shimura is a father figure for the protagonist and at some point he even wants to adopt Jin as his rightful son and heir. Those two love and respect each other. But as you progress the story as Jin you realise that by staying true to the honourable way of the Samurai you will ultimately fail and risk the lives of many people. So Jin sacrifices his honour to fight for the people. Lord Shimura cannot accept this since he would rather sacrifice himself and all of Tsushima in the name of honour. This drives the two apart. They still love and respect each other but their views are fundamentally different. At the end they fight each other in a duel. A heartbreaking scene. Up to this point I had hoped that the two could be together again as father and son and though Lord Shimura doesn't want to kill Jin, he wants Jin to take responsibility for his crimes and face his punishment as an honourable Samurai would. Jin wins the duel and Lord Shimura is wounded, begging Jin to grant him a warriors death. Now the player is presented two options: You can grant Lord Shimuras dying wish and kill him, or you can spare him. And although this is the last point in the game and my decision wouldn't affect the game at all I was torn apart. I don't want Lord Shimura to die, I don't want to kill my father but at the same time I know that if I spared him he would never forgive me and the only way to reconnect with him one last time is to grand him a warriors death. This choice and the ultimate ending of the game impacted me more than I imagined, I was really taken by surprise by all the emotions I felt in that moment. It is definitely a story that I want to experience again in the future.

    Now taking all of that into account a more honest score would be a 9.5. There are a few minor issues that I had with the game and none of them really affected the fun I had playing. So therefore I lean towards the 10/10. I know that no game ever really deserves a 10/10 but this game really stuck with me for days after I finished it and I still think about the stories it managed to tell.
    I can easily recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs.

    Ghost is one of the best games i have played, Ever since i started playing it, i have been hooked to it. The fact this game literally got me interested in feudal japan and got me look up articles and videos show how well the game has managed to capture the samurai way of life. The combat feels really fun and the atmosphere in the game is outstanding.

    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.
