    First of all, I'd like to say thank you to Sucker Punch for putting in so much effort and dedication in making this game. From the first scene of Jin riding through the tall grass, this game got me having goosebumps.

From the first scene of Jin riding through the tall grass, this game got me having goosebumps.

    I love the story of the game, I'm about 10 hours into the game at Act 2, and as serious toned and some hiccups in the story, the general scheme of things in the big picture, I love the story very much. I'm not going to delve into it much to prevent spoilers.

    The gameplay was a massive surprise to me, I was someone who saw the first trailer of the game and was like oh god here we go again another Assassin's Creed. However once I started playing the actual combat, I fell in love. It incorporates so many systems and melds them superbly together. Using stuff from Sekiro, Nioh, Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed, I'm not gonna fault them or said they copied, cause THIS ISN'T A BLATANT COPY, they refined it, balanced the combat out, and my oh my was it satisfying, every second of the game I'm looking forward to combat. And the showdown mechanic, I thought it'll get old, like I thought nah I'll get used to it and it's gonna be my cheese tactic, but it requires a surprising amount of concentration, enemies in the later missions start to fake you out more, and they may attack almost immediately, and it really keeps you on your toes!

    The stealth however, is lackluster, I have to admit the AI for stealth is so easily cheesed it's almost laughable. Enemies can see a ton of dead bodies on the floor, give a shout, and return to their positions, and I'm playing the game on hard. And the bow is almost overpowered if you can land your headshots cause you'd be like an invisible ghost sniper where no one detects you. What I found preferable was playing a mix of both stealth and combat.

    I wanna talk about the Haiku Composition, this is my favorite part of Ghosts of Tsushima. What?! Haiku?! Yeah, I absolutely love this feature of the game. I felt emotionally attached to every Haiku I "composed". The music during the composition, the ambient sounds of water, birds, leaves rustling, everything came together, and some Haiku had me holding back a manly tear. Such a simple feature, but it gave me such a great immersion in the game. This made the game so special in my heart.

    I also love how the game, is.. A GAME. Some open world games or recent releases are trying to mix too much real life into games. I do not want to spend 2mins trying to pick up an item, I do not want to get off my horse, watch an animation to pick my item up, get back on my horse. I know some have complained about the horse clipping through the thick forest sometimes, how it goes through some bamboos, I DO NOT MIND, rather than getting stuck on every single bamboo shoot or tree stump or rock, or riding of a teeny curb and falling off the horse, this game keeps it moving. It respects my time as a player and not make it a chore to play, if i wanted complete realism I would not be playing a game. I love it then I'm constantly moving, constantly making progress, and not taking 10-15mins to run from one objective to another.

    The graphics, but in short, i would say the graphics are magical, I like that it isn't too realistic, but the attention to detail, the particle effects, I feel like I'm transported into another world, and that's what gaming is all about. I've spent hours in the photo-mode, taking pictures of the biomes. And that takes me to the biomes as well, none of the environments are copy and paste, yes there are the same buildings and stuff, but they are all placed very differently, and every new area i go to, I feel like i'm actually going somewhere new, and that's a feat for an open world game!

    I did encounter some bugs, none of them game breaking, none took me out of the experience and none detracted me from completing a level. The checkpoint system in this game is amazing, and I would like to praise the quick loading times as well, sometimes a little too fast I really hope they add a "press X to continue" feature, I can see they put effort in drawing the art for the loading screen tips, and I'd love to read them and appreciate them, so Sucker Punch please give us a chance to do so!

    All in all, this game delivers on what they set out to do. It is a samurai game, it makes me feel like a samurai, it makes me feel like I'm in Japan (yes I have visited Japan 4 times). This game holds a special place in my heart, alongside Sekiro, Nioh, Onimusha and Tenchu. Thank you Sucker Punch, we love it, thank you :)

    Note: 10/10 not because it is perfect, but because this game is special, unique in it's own ways, and I'll probably remember this experience for the rest of my life.    … Expand

    I'm no critic or self proclaimed gamin expert. I don't care about fps or graphics. I'm an old school gamer that still loved Super Mario 3 and Mike Tyson's punch out. Why? Because I judge games the same as I've always judged them no matter the generation. I judge games based on 4 criteria:

    Fun: when I find myself randomly smiling or getting a sense of joy playing the game.    I'm no critic or self proclaimed gamin expert. I don't care about fps or graphics.

    Addictiveness:. When I find myself starting to play at 6am and 3seconds later it's 1pm.

    Replayability: when I stop playing and I want to go back forore as soon as possible. I go back the next day and the next day and the next day.

    Finally, Story: I don't need a story that's Oscar award winning to enjoy a game. But if the game has a decent story to tell it makes it all that better. Even if it's a familiar tale as long as its put together well I'll enjoy it.

    I've been in a video game funk since Go Of War. This game has reawaken that 16 year old video game savage inside of me from back in the day. 10 out of 10. Let's get back to enjoying games for what they are rather than what we want them to be.    … Expand

    How any critic could rate this game at 60 percent or 3/5 stars is beyond me.

I’m gonna be honest, there’s not a ton of unique features in this game, but my enjoyment is so high that I really don’t care. There’s a lot of open world games just on PS4 (Horizion, Spiderman, RDR2, this game), but they all have vastly different settings (Post-apocalypse, New York, Wild West, Japan) to the point where they’re all worth playing. This is probably one of the best of those games and wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a classic.… Expand

    I have literally joined Metacritic today just to write this review. I feel a little bit sorry for Sucker Punch to be honest, they have made a masterpiece of a game and a few reviewers have gave it average scores. These scores seem to be based on such minor niggles. One of the reviewers had scored this years ff7 remake higher which quite frankly is a joke. Ff7 remake was a good game butI have literally joined Metacritic today just to write this review.

Ff7 remake was a good game but was content filled with some of the most boring gaming I have experienced in a decade. Ghost of Tsushima is in the same league as Zelda breath of the wild. The combat is amazing and rewarding, the game world is detailed and engaging. Don’t let the professional reviewers average Scores put you off this is one of PS4’s finest.… Expand

    This game is a work of art, probably the most visually impressive ps4 game of all time bar red dead 2. The combat system ranges from simple arkham city style to more complicated dependant on your difficulty settings. It's a very different setting for a game and is very much samurai porn after watching some Kurosawa movies like yojimbo. Music and sound is incredible

    This game is such amazing! I'm estonished every 10 mins.
    Everything is pretty fine and fancy, I especially appreciate the scenario, quests, and almost of all the musics, japaneses sounds, it impose a really dope atmosphere in it.
    The main character player is doing well, his movements are fluid and precise, winning a fight is so satisfying. I usually never use the photo mode in games, but    This game is such amazing! I'm estonished every 10 mins.

    In cons, I deplore the graphic quality of the water, especially the sea! There are also some motion and camera bugs. I hope all this will be solved in the next updates.
    In conclusion, I recommend this game, it's a real videogame gem that should be made at least once in your life if you are a real fan of video games, adventure and poetry.    … Expand

After finishing 2 acts and completing every single side mission and location up to this point, it is clear that if you need a game to simply escape and forget time passing this is your game. The controls are very easy to manage although bow shooting is slightly difficult. Playing on the hardest difficulty doe not seem to affect overall gameplay. TheShoe in fornthe game of the year.

    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.
