    I love the combat, style, music, atmosphere, side activities, tales, duels, characters etc.
    I have fun doing stealth, samurai combat and duels. There is problem with camera (sometimes I lose combat because of it) but it doesn’t ruin the fun. Most of the times it works.
    All the small details in this game are well crafted. I care mostly about the small details. It’s great fun!

    Just unlocked the platinum trophy.

    Although i think the game is deserving of a 10 out of 10 mark, the game is certainly not perfect. During my playthrough i encountered a couple of buggy/glitchy moments.

    If your game is as much fun to play as this one is than in my book that's as perpect as it gets.    … Expand

    Ghost of tsushima me parece muy buen juego la verdad. Historia:
    La historia es simple. Pero no por eso es malo, ya que la historia es una ayuda al gameplay.
    Jugavilidad:
    La jugavilidad tiene muy buena curva de dificultad.

    The best open world experience I've ever played. When playing I feel immersed in this environment created by the studio. It feels like I'm in a Samurai / Ninja movie. Combat is the strongest point of the game. Fight with style! What a wonderful thing. Congratulations! I loved this game!

Ghost of Tsushima brings to every player a long missed feeling from achieving a game with a brillant story not something twisted but something logical and undoubtedly sensfull. The game isn't far from being flawless, but the gameplay can be sometimes repetitive but in every fight, every confrontation you try to perfect you're skills to live up to the legend of the ghost of tsushima defender of the land of tsushima. Both the story and the side stories bring more depth to the character you're incarnating, by expanding his inner conflict between saving his honour as a samurai and for the name of his clan or losing everything to save as many people as he can. The music and the atmosphere are something else, you get to live every second of the game enjoying every bit of your exploration and battles, taking the time to see what sucker punch offered us the players to say our goodbyes to the PS4. some may say the mechanics of the game aren't as realistic as what rdr 2 or tlou part 2 gave us, but i can't personally see ghost of tsushima with that kind of slow mechanics like grabbing flowers, cutting bamboos, etc...
    To everyone that haven't bought the game yet, go get it. And huge thanks to sony for giving the freedom to developers for creating different world and journey for us to live.    … Expand

    My first review so for a frame of reference I would say Horizon, Witcher 3, TLOU 1 and 2, Arkham Asylum, RDR2 are 5 star games.

    I liked GOT, it's a fun, beautiful looking game with some really great ideas in there : wind, fighting system, haiku writing. That said, I don't think this game is anywhere near 5 stars. Like sucker punch's infamous it feels like it needed a few more months to file off the rough edges it still has.
    Things like :
    Soldiers killed on cliff edges will not hang of the edge, they will lie flat, with whatever parts of their body just floating off the edge
    Birds take flight when you approach, but will fly through whatever is in front of them - a mountainside in my experience
    Not important NPC side mission encounters results in a brief black loading screen then a generic two shot - which you can't move or speed up - and then a black loading screen again to get back into the game
    Your horse will be nowhere in sight until you whistle where it will be appear almost alongside you
    You run at the same speed not wade through water until it gets to swimming level
    You will obtain a couple of bows through the game which you can of course customise with various colour kits. However you only see them when you are drawing an arrow and about to fire, if you release L2 the bow disappears to where exactly?
    Now, none of these types of things are game breakers for me really. But for a product that is coasting on celebrations of how pretty it looks, these things are pretty jarring. Especially when compared to likes of TLOU2 and RDR2 with their attention to detail. I mean even much older releases of Horizon and definitely Witcher 3 and some AC games do this type of thing much better, and I'm sorry GOT is not on their level.
    It feels like an opening game for the start of the ps4 lifespan, look at how beautiful it is, not for its swansong. But as I said, it's a fun, cool game and I am definitely looking forward to finishing it. I would welcome a sequel on the ps5. I world just hope that these sort of issues are remedied.

It really makes you feel like a samurai who has to change his code and fighting style to survive the first Mongol invasion. With regard to gameplay and the open world, the truth is that it brings almost nothing that we have not seen in other games such as the AC saga: collectibles, territories and prisoners to release, places to visit to improve the status of our character, stealth , executions, everything very similar but with a Japanese atmosphere. Some characteristics such as the different combat postures which we must alternate depending on the enemy we face gives freshness to the gameplay. Still, overall the game is amazing, certainly one of the contenders for this year's goty. Highly recommended.… Expand

    Pros: Beautiful graphics / locations / details and shots; Story and character development is taken care of - it is a real pleasure to dive into next adventures; Limited gear - you won't be wasting time to search for hundreds of crafting ingredients and consider, if sword B++ is better than A+ Cons: Gameplay is nothing new.

    Cons: Gameplay is nothing new. I have a feeling like Ghost of Tsushima is just a huge mod for Witcher 3/Spiderman - very similar gameplay and skills/special mechanics.

When playing the game as Jin, really feel like a samurai and the way you are slicing your katana through the enemies feels real. Another that Sucker Punch managed to do really well was by creating this historical event of the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. By playing the game, we actually learn how the invasion took place in some sort of way and how the samurais defended their island. There is just so many amazing features and details in this game of the best of its kind. In my opinion, this game deserves Game of the Year 2020, that's how perfect this game is.… Expand

Massive innovations to the open world format, no longer chasing the HUD or compass, you follow environmental queues instead, adding to the immersion. The progression system means you can unlock most of your skills and moves within the first act, which makes you feel a bit overpowered, but this opens the door to more difficult and engaging combat in the next two acts. The game encourages learning in act one, and mastery in the next two acts. The story is great, but I have not yet finished the main quest, so perhaps it will collapse. I do doubt this considering the conversations I've had with friends and colleagues. Great work sucker punch.

This game is In my top 10 favourite games ever. Reasons I gave it a 9 is cause repetitive missions who’s isn’t a big deal but ehh.. also because the hard difficulty isn’t hard which is probably what they whet going for since you are supposed to be unstoppable but it’s to easy sometimes. But the main thing is that there is no new game + or dlc that are confirmed as of now, the thing is once your done the game since your so op and every thing you earned and all the skills are kind useless so I feel like have a new game plus with a much harder difficulty with more abilities some new missions and armour pieces and such maybe even dual wielding would make me give this game a 10 cause once your done the game TRUST ME YOU WANT SO MUCH MORE.… Expand

El modo de guia de este mismo es dejate guiar por el viento que te lleve guiate por el mismo eso es un detalle de los mejores para mi parecer. Los escenarios son bellesimos que te dejaran boquiabiertos, los duelos son increibles junto a su banda sonora quedan de pelicula. Imprescindible para el que tenga una PS4. 10/10… Expand

    Ghost Of Tsushima is amazing, finaly a samurai game where you can feel like a baddass, a sort of call of duty with boots on the ground, no sci fi ninja's or any of that fuzz, a real boot to the ground japanese samurai duking it out with combat and honor, lets gets a sequel going :)

    I signed up to Metacritic just to rate this game the 10 it deserves. It has been a very long time for me (years) since I have been wowed by a game this much, it truly is something different. The graphics, the sound, the gameplay - it's just next level. Sucker Punch did an amazing job on this. Well done guys.

    Beautiful graphics, polished battlesystem, interesting story, overall very well balanced. Being a witcher fan, starved one as such, this samurai adventure is very enjoyable. Best game I've played for quite a few years.

    The minor negatives:
    * Sync audio a bit annoying when playing with Japanese audio.
    * A bit repetitive at times.
    * Enemy AI a bit dated.

    Gameplay- Good and yet not challenging on the hardest difficulty once you get the hang of it especially when using the tools and "builds" available to you. It has the common stealth op game mechanic but with a few mistakes during combat you will be punished. Not too many animations especially when it comes to stealth kills and the ai can be derpy at times and can be exploited. But whenGameplay- Good and yet not challenging on the hardest difficulty once you get the hang of it especially when using the tools and "builds" available to you. It has the common stealth op game mechanic but with a few mistakes during combat you will be punished. Not too many animations especially when it comes to stealth kills and the ai can be derpy at times and can be exploited. But when combat works which it generally does it's extremely satisfying, there's nothing better than perfect parrying an enemy. Graphics- Good not quite LOU2 but a very solid 8/10. The beautiful environment is highlighted by haikus(poems) of the current surroundings. Player customisation is good with different armour pieces giving different effects which lean towards different play styles, along with charms which are earned through missons and exploration which can further the desired effects. The open-world- It isn't filled with life like GTA5 but it's on par with HZD. Buffs come in the forms of bamboo cutting aka button memorising under a set time, hot springs which buff health but also offer insight into your characters thoughts and shrines which are parkour sections to get primary charms. Which fox dens accompanying then which first increase the charm slots available and then eventually buff a minor charm.

    Story- Satisfying enough and isn't far fetched with evolution and tradition being at odds which each other. Legend missions are a typical do 3-5 things such as clear bases or find select spots with aid to obtain said item. But generally have their own unique spin. Characters- 7 out of 10 cast with a couple characters being unlikeable at points but with the context of their situations it's understandable. Insight is also added about the world through scrolls which tell the story of normal people and what they're going through.

    Ending- Neatly wraps up Jin's journey. My main tip would be take your time so you don't get burnt out playing.

    Positives-Fast travel is extremely fast which is a +. The game thrives during duels which feel great, though this may be due to the limited number of duels. Definitely hope a duelling mode is added or at the very least being able to replay duels. Problems- The camera is lacking and button prioritisation(r2) is geared towards picking up loot instead of switchcing combat stances. This only affected my personal experience 5 or so times and never got me killed
    There's a stand-off glitch where it'll never begin so you have to take massive damage is frustrating but will eventually be fixed. It also has witcher 3 fall damage which is terrible but can be somewhat negated with an early skill which stops fall damage from plausible heights. During the platinum run fox dens were tedious if anything, basically just 30 or so seconds of following a fox to a inari shrine and there's a LOT. Though take this with a grain of salt as completing all the fox dens aren't necessary whatsoever.    … Expand

Comparable to Zelda Breath of the Wild, Jedi Fallen Order (Parry Combat) and RDR2. I’m hoping they will keep updating the game With larger maps, more quests and further expansion for years to come!

However, if I had to point out one area where it needed to do better, it would be the dialogue delivery in the side quests. Most dialogues were bland and lacked variation. The side quests themselves were very engaging and interesting. But the boring conversation decreased the overall value. The game took a huge turn by the time I reached the end of act two.

    I give it a 9 and not a 10 because I feel let down by the interaction with the world (climbing, jumping from a platform to another) and the horse (compared to RDR2).
    This game and RDR2 are the only games that got my attention.

I would play all side quests before moving on to main story quests and I always felt like there was something new to do or look forward to.

While you play it everything feels solely its own and completely natural to the game. The two greatest accomplishments of the game are the combat and the variety. The combat is EXCELLENT, multiple ways to approach any situation, every technique and skill can be used in any number of ways/combinationsS and with the enemy variety it never gets old. Furthermore, on the normal setting the combat is challenging without pointless difficulty, resulting in the occasional death and “oh crap” moments; fans of the souls-borne game will love the hard difficulty setting (it’s HARD). The other big success of the game is the variety, and that’s really the variety of every aspect: locations, collectibles, quests, everything meshes together perfectly without getting old - I’m trying to 100% the game 1/3rd of the way finished, 20 hours in and not a moment of boredom yet.

    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.
