    Ghost of Tsushima has it all. Great story, satisfying gameplay, and a beautiful world. Although not the most impressive graphics from a technical standpoint, GoT is artistically the most beautiful game I've ever played. Even the music is a solid 10/10. Please do yourself a favor and play this gem. Sucker Punch knocked it out of the park with this one.

    My review: Can't believe I actually created an account just to rate this game. Infact I never expected that I would even rate any game in my life. But damn, this game got me real good. I have never expected that an open world game could be as good as this. Out of all open world games, this is the best open world game I have played.The graphics are artistic and make it actually feel like you are in Tsushima. Every 20 min I stop at a place and be like, woah...gotta open photo mode!!!!Also I really like how they removed mini map by adding wind mechanism and it is extremely helpful in immersion in this beautiful world!!! I see a lot of people complaining about combat and saying its boring, as far as I know they are the people who look at the gameplay and be like,"what's so special about it? completely normal sword fights, so booring". I am telling you the combat feels satisfying asf when you play it rather than looking at it and be like there is nothing special about it. Japanese voice acting nailed it, but the mouth sync is completely off which threw me away a few times. Sometimes cut scenes feel like they are from a old 2000's game. But overall the good factors in the game made me not to worry about all these cons. Few say that the open world gets repetitive. Well they are the people who play complete story at one or complete side quests at once. If Main quests and side quests are played simultaneously, the game will be really really good. I enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend this game to any gamer who see a really really good open world adventure.    … Expand

    This is one of the best game, since Skyrim (in my opinion). I have played a lot of story focused games but never in my life none of the games had ever hit my feelings spot, but this game did. In one particular quest hit me really hard and I cried at the end of the quest, because the character reminded me of someone in my life. So this game just became personal to me.

    Starting out with Ghost of Tsushima, the gorgeous landscapes & sweeping environmental art could be considered some of the best in video games. The same kind of beauty supplied by Witcher 3: Wild Hunt & even the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here with the many locals & vistas you’ll visit throughout Tsushima.

The same kind of beauty supplied by Witcher 3: Wild Hunt & even the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here with the many locals & vistas you’ll visit throughout Tsushima. Multiple activities/mechanics are laid out before you to keep you busy in between your tales, main or side quests that push you forward through the story. Finding shrines, fox dens, animals to hunt for skins, etc. It’s genuinely hard for me to put down my controller due to all the things within the game that keep pulling in for some more good fun. Combat is equal parts fun & challenging, delivering some of the best blocking/parrying maneuvers since Witcher 3 & dodging/rolling borrowed from Dark Souls. A huge bonus is the Kunai ghost weapon that acts as a miniature projectile, granting either better opportunities for stealth or a surprise element in the middle of an encounter. The Bow is also a lifesaver that you’ll catch yourself using more & more throughout. Smoke-bombs for stealth, customization for your sword & armor, & some of the most stylized combat that pays it’s best respects to Kurosawa Akira‘s many samurai films.

    A gripping opening to a lengthy, yet straightforward story, throwing the player into the world of Tsushima with an objective & purpose. It’s a simple Avenger story, fighting back against an invasion to avenge & protect the people being killed. Shedding the bushido code/beliefs, you will provoke war against the mongols using shinobi tactics, making yourself the ultimate Ninja-Samurai in all the land. Sounds cool, right? Samurai fans, Ninja fans, Medieval fans, Fans of Japanese History/Culture, Weeaboos, & perhaps some anime fans would definitely love the world & the game as a whole. If you enjoyed Witcher 3, BotW, RDR2, or even Skyrim, you’ll enjoy Ghost of Tsushima. The only nit-picks I have are:
    1. I sometimes wish lock-on was a feature.
    2. The “arms” glitch isn’t frequent but funny enough so it doesn’t annoy when it does happen.
    3. Walking through bamboo/small trees, making you feel like a an actual ghost. 4. NPC/Civilian AI is a little silly sometimes, falling over small dips or lighting themselves on fire multiple times.
    5. No fishing but that’s just a me thing. At the end of the 8th Generation of gaming, we finish the inevitable lifecycle of PlayStation leading to rebirth. I’m happy we can end the PS4 with GoT & hope to look forward to greater exclusives by Sony.    … Expand

    Game is beautiful! The places you play in are just stunning, combat feels very nice and the way you have to work to improve your skills like the bamboo cutting for example, it makes sense, you may fail at it a few times but when you get it itfeels like you have worked the strength to finally get it and feels like a reward, also the mini games of    200% worth every cent I spent on it,

It's a great way to pay homage to that Asian belief while also improving your character.
    I can't love this game enough, if you are still thinking if buying or not, be sure that you won't regret it, this game is so well thought, you get your main character and progress with him but in the way you meet so many more strong supporting characters both male and female and they all make sense.

    The game looks and feels amazing. Great graphics, color and contrast. Combat is better than most games out there including SW: Fallen Order. The game is a Big Update on all open world games. Its innovative and removes the minimap for a cool new feature.

    Game is one of the best games out there right now if not the best this year has seen.

    This game didn’t do anything revolutionary, but the things it does are flawless. Combat makes you truly feel like a one man wrecking crew without being way over the top and having you do crazy flips and unrealistic moves. The environments are gorgeous and the characters are very likeable. The loot system feels balanced and upgrading also feels balanced.

    Love this game so far. The open world feels alive and the space doesn't feel wasted. I didn't like the fact that the HUD was missing at first but now that I am used to it, it feels like an improvement over most open world HUDs. The only negative is the camera sometimes goes at odd angles.

    I completed the main missions of the first island and now I am doing all exploration and activities left before moving to second island.

    With that said, Ghost of Tsushima is the open world game I didn't know I needed. All the recent Ubisoft titles made Open world games super tiresome for me, the same formulas repeated over and over again.

    Sucker's Punch Ghost of Tsushima completed refreshed the genre. Combat is the strongest point of the game, it has some similar characteristics to the one found in Batman series, Spider-Man (2018) or even older Assassin's Creed titles, but the combat system here is refined at its finest, most of the bossfights (duels) are spectacular, remembering the thrill of From's Souls series, Sekiro in particular.

    Visuals are gorgeous, I was never a fan of photo mode in other games, but in GoT I used it for capturing amazing moments, you'll find yourself staring at the beautiful landscape while exploring.
    Exploration is good thanks to the almost non-existent indicators in the screen, you can remove even more with Expert Mode (which I did). All these factors combined means that you are actually looking at what is happening in the world, not some mini-map (learn Rockstar).

    Side activities are actually interesting, you're always getting something from what you do. The variety of these activities is not really big, but to me it works, because I like doing all of them.

    Sound and soundtrack are amazing, they know the balance of sound and silence. Japanese themed songs are great.

    The weakest point of the game is the campaign story. It's not bad, but at least for now it's bland and from what I've heard, it's just ok. Some people will not like this aspect but I don't bother because when I play open world games like this, the campaign is what I'm least interested at.

    Sucker Punch learned all the wrongs of past open world titles and created one of the best of PS4.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a must PS4 title.

    Gameplay, story, graphics & sound are all terrific. What puts this game into all time great territory for me is that is has so much personality, style & soul. So many soulless open world games have been made in the last 10 years, this is not one of them.

    Also, the lack of any and all micro transactions or monetization is a breath of fresh air.

There's a few issues that irk me like the camera and no lock on system at all in combat and the boats in the ocean not moving when your far up and see tons of boats far out in the distance.

The game mechanics, the graphics, and the story splendid. If I would describe the game in three words it will be Ferocious, Glorious, and Tranquil.

The smallest side mission is given attention and doesnt feel like filler. I love it all. I can't think of a game I enjoyed more that this one.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of those rare gems of a game, where you do not want to put your controller down. Bravo, Sucker Punch, bravo! This game puts many of other open world titles to shame: gameplay is smooth, combat feels natural and swords feel heavy, story is compelling if a bit cliche, graphics are second to none, music and voice acting are superb!
    What a way for PS4 to go out: with a bang!

They have proven that they don't deserve our trust and are part of the agenda pervading our media these days.

Between this game and TLOU2 I realize how stupid people are who trust paid critics reviews. They have proven that they don't deserve our trust and are part of the agenda pervading our media these days. Bring out a woke game and get 10/10's, bring out an awesome game like Ghosts of Tsushima and get a lot of 6-8/10 reviews. I am surprised the critics did not follow suit with most of these SJW's giving this a 0/10. If you see a 0/10, I urge you to look up that persons review of TLOU2 and see if they gave it a 10/10, I guarantee they did. Garbage people btrying to bring this game down because it does not have the agenda is just pathetic.

    All that aside, I did not give this game a 10/10 lightly, the graphics, the gameplay, the music, are all amazing and GOTY worthy. The ONLY bad thing I have to say is the main character is a little dull, but no game is perfect. I don't give 10/10 to perfect games because there are none, I give it to games like this that are so amazing they force me to overlook it's flaws, just like God of War. I watched a YouTuber play through the whole of GOW and I still wanted to play it, and not just play it, play it over and over again. Ghosts of Tsushima IS that kind of game. There is nothing that really breaks your immersion throughout your time in the world, even the Japanese reviewers are giving it good scores. That's a good indication that they have a true masterpiece of a game.

    Well done Sucker Punch. Sony take note and don't allow "woke" media to ruin your 1st party games. I hope this continues through to the PS5 and we see some fantastic gameplay like this and even better graphics to enhance our experiences. This is what gamers deserve, and what they want. Obviously, just from the reviews you can tell what we want. Please keep this up!    … Expand

    I came into this game with a lot of hype. As a big fan of sucker punch (having played all sly cooper games and Infamous games) I had high expectations due to this being an open-world, samurai game set in Feudal Japan in the 1200’s. SuckerPunch blew my expectation away to put it lightly. I’ve spent about 20 hours and I’m still in act 1 due to the sheer amount of content in the game. TheI came into this game with a lot of hype.

The gameplay is really nice and the combat is smooth and despite some issues I still have a lot of fun. This is one of the few games I plan on 100% and beating more than once. I recommend playing it twice, first play it how you want and then the second time play in Kurosawa mode to experience the full beauty.… Expand

The ps4 exclusive scene has seen some truly great games, like the game of the year in 2018s Spider-Man. Another exclusive to win game of the year would be The last of us. But this exclusive to close out all PlayStation exclusives would be this perfection of game creation. Never have I seen a more Perfect particle sim, and the bloody combat really reels it all back in.

    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.
