    What more is to say, about a game with great scenario, battle mechanics, graphics, everything? The Game Of The Year voted by the fans, but the critics were just got paid not to give this title! But we all know who really won the 2021 awards and why (despite the bombing) is the highest user rated game of it's generation! ;)

    La versión de PS5 es una maldita pasada, no le pueden sentar mejor los 60 fps. Gráfica y artísticamente de lo mejor del catálogo de PS4 junto a the last of us 2, acompañado de una banda sonora espectacular. Un imprescindible.

    This game is the complete package. I played PS4 version on PS5.
    The combat is extremely tight and responsive with enough variety and options to play to the style that you prefer. You can go and take on entire gangs or you can be strategic and use throwables to isolate and take down. You feel like an absolute badass by the later stages of the game.
    Graphically the game is beautiful and

    Graphically the game is beautiful and quite varied as you travel around the lush open world.
    On top of the main storyline missions, there are a huge amount of side missions to undertake and they're well designed and not overly repetitive. They also directly link in with the main storyline which I really like.
    The story is well written and the characters are memorable.
    On top of the main and side missions there are other smaller tasks to complete which are very well implemented and really help build the spiritual side of being a samurai.
    I would recommend this game to anyone.
    One of the best games I've played in the last few years.

    Played this on launch, simply outstanding even with it's flaws. Stealth is smooth and logical. Combat is surprisingly fluid. Then there's the game world, even on a base PS4 it is truly stunning.

    I'd say the only flaw that might be annoying to a lot of players is how "gappy" the story can and could possibly have done with a bit more substance.

    Лучшая игра от Sucker Punch на данный момент.
    Из плюсов, ожидаемо: графика, локации - иногда отваливается челюсть (версия PS5). Неожидаемо: неплохой сюжет и прописанные персонажи (хоть его и мало). Из минусов: очень много гринда и однообразных заданий (привет вопросикам из Ведьмака 3), по геймплею игра выдыхается и не удивляет во второй половине.

    TL;DR This game is rough around the edges with its story and bloated world but the combat, art design and music make this game special.

    I wish i liked this game more. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of quality to be found here and i think this game deserves a lot of the praise it gets but i can't help but feel like it didn't quite match the mountain of expectations i had for it.

    As far as the art design is concerned, it is gorgeous. Perhaps the most beautiful AAA open world game i have ever experienced and one of the best looking games period. The environments are so vibrant, so full of colour and so full of movement/life. It is so nice to often take a moment to just walk the horse through it and take in the atmosphere because they really did nail the look of this game. One thing about the graphics that i can't however praise is the facial animations. I have been spoiled lately when it comes to the quality of facial animations and this game just doesn't do them well enough. There are plenty of close-ups and i can never truly decipher character emotions looking at their facial expressions because the tech is not good enough. Otherwise, i like the way the game looks. I like the very minimal HUD, the use of wind for guidance and the emphasis on looking around to get by without relying on the map.

    Unfortunately, i wasn't a big fan of the open world. It was immensely beautiful but i'd argue it was too large and the activities meant to fill it were both too repetitive and too inconsistent in quality. I think there were too many side quests and a lot them kinda just blended together in my mind. Some were great but i think their writing generally wasn't memorable. I just never got the feeling that my encounters with NPCs was ever unique or special. By the time i had finished the main story, there were still plenty of side quests i hadn't finished or even touched. A lot of the other side content was lacklustre too apart from the Bamboo Strikes which i actively looked for at every oppurtunity.

    The story was good enough. It deals with a lot of interesting and relatable topics but it's never anything you haven't seen in some capacity elsewhere. I will admit, it does have some excellent moments; one in particular culminating in my favourite fight of the game but i think the excellence of this story shines through too seldomly. The characters are mostly quite likeable with one being a clear standout. Head and shoulders above the rest.

    But what this game really does well and what kept me playing was its gameplay. It's so good. Basically, it makes you feel dangerous and often, when the music is on full blast, it makes you feel heroic. It taps into that Samurai power fantasy so well and when playing it on Hard or Lethal difficulty, keeping up with the pace the game sets that difficulty, well, there's nothing else like it. And my word, the one on one duels in this game! Some of them are truly incredible. It is annoying how enemies on Lethal difficulty can one shot you in a duel but i think its worth it for the sheer pace and the frantic feeling of a back and forth dance of steel between deadly blades. It's a very good thing that Sucker Punch decided to make the duels replayable. I never played much of the stealth because the combat was so good.

    Edit: Most of this review was written on 6 March but since I’ve had more time, I thought I’d add some more thoughts on this. I like it more than I thought I did when I wrote this review. I didn’t mention it earlier but one of the missions in this game actually made me geek out in a way I haven’t done in years. I’m talking an all time great gaming moment and I think the soundtrack is incredibly underrated. The soundtrack, particularly the battle theme, supplements the combat and helps create that feeling of invincibility. I actually love this game.

    Looks good, but there is not much to do in Tsushima. Main campaign is pretty straight-forward. Most of the side-quests are boring and repetitive. And the worst part there is absolutely no reward for doing anything in the game - no useful items, resources become redundant after the first chapter, skill tree is very short (and also pretty useless).

    Absolute masterpiece of a video game! The combat is some of the best I've ever seen in a single player game. The environment and graphics are stunning and breath-taking. Several times I'd stop in my tracks in awe of the sunset, or flowers blowing in the wind. This is a must-play if you have a Playstation.

Everything from the artistic direction, to the story and dialogue, the whole way to the simple-yet-AWESOME Combat, it all makes for a grand package that’s guaranteed to leave beyond satisfied. The world itself is an accurate representation of the Japanese island of Tsushima, and you can tell Sucker Punch put their hearts and souls into recreating the island and its people as authentically and accurately as possible. The world-design itself isn’t special, some would even call it akin to “Ubisoft Formula”, but it gets hidden under the interesting and in-depth story, dynamic and purely satisfying combat, and the sheer beauty of the world. Apart from being gorgeous, you’re bound to find exploration and questing less of a chore and more of a reward than anything else, and sometimes you might find yourself purposely looking for enemies just to engage in the nearly flawless and extremely cinematic combat and gameplay. There’s also an online component, called Legends, that’ll have you competing in non-direct pvp against AI, or co-operative survival waves. These are fun but might get boring after many matches, and the lack of customization in this mode (compared to the main game that boasts a larger variety) is slightly disappointing for an online mode, but nonetheless I think the majority of players will find the mode meeting or exceeding their expectations. Sucker Punch have outdone themselves with this game, and I would be more than glad to see a sequel in the future. Easily would recommend! Expand

    * This review is made on the original release of the game, without the DLC and the update of the Director’s Cut
    * More specifically, this review is based on the version of the game of the 6 september 2020

    Pro:
    + Super fast loadings, making fast travel and losing fights not annoying
    + Good graphic
    + Nice landscapes
    + Really good photo mode
    + Cinematographic cutscenes
    + Well balanced at any difficulty
    + Good story and characters
    + Every side quest has a unique story
    + Platinum trophy does not require to get all collectibles or to play at a specific difficulty
    + Good combat system, with different possibilities for approaching a fight
    + Nice fashion possibilities for the protagonist's outfit
    + Having the wind as a marker for objectives is really cool and it works
    + You can pet foxes
    + Small but good role-play possibilities
    + Enemies don't have an hive mind
    + You can keep playing after finishing the main story
    + Very few bugs for an open-world
    + There are different methods to find easily the points of interest of the map or the collectibles
    + The world is neither too big or too small
    + Japanese dub
    + You will find more resources and receive more exp than the ones needed to fully upgrade your character, so that it can be done without completing the game at 100%
    + Good tutorials

    Cons:
    - Kurosawa mode is not well implemented
    - Enemies' AI is pretty dumb
    - Enemies have too much tracking with attacks
    - No NG+
    - Dialogues and cutscenes cannot be skipped (but cutscenes will not be replayed when losing a fight)
    - The main and side stories and thematics are pretty simple
    - Most side quests are more or less the same gameplay-wise
    - You cannot pet your horse whenever you want
    - You cannot change the protagonist's position or pose during photo mode
    - Sometimes it's hard to find the shopkeeper you need in a village/town
    - Switching between weapons or bow ammos mid-fight without getting hit is sometimes pretty hard
    - Tutorials are sometimes really invasive, pausing the game mid-fight
    - No track of the playtime

    Miscellanous:
    * There are different options for audio, display and controls, but they're not as good as they could (and some even should) be
    * The combat system lacks a manual targeting function. It's hard to deal with it at the beginning, but since it has been thought to be like that, you'll get used to it after a few hours. Though, sometimes the game's auto-target doesn't work as it should.
    * If rushed, the game lasts ~20/30 hours. If completed at 100% ~50/60 hours. Most players play it for ~40 hours.

    The game has amazing graphics, cool atmosphere, somewhat original game mechanics like different stands and all, but I have never been so bored because of the dullness of the story in a game for so long. I was able to feel more connected to the game's atmosphere even in the recent copy-paste cliche Far Cry games. Characters, stories, missions, conversations are all superficial.

I thoroughly completed 1 play through doing everything but go back for trophys because I don't care about plat trophys. If you enjoy open world games with fun combat and a good story, this is a great game for you. Also, I played it on mediumish difficulty. Probably could have handled doing hard mode since I'm used to souls games but even on medium it was fun and had some fights that were reasonably challenging. Highly recommend this one, great game.

    Unbelievable! This is one of the best games I've ever played. There's not much wrong about this. I always say a game should be rated as a game first and this is just a joy to play. There's a story along with this as well and it is fascinating but to be honest the gameplay outshines the story by a distance here.

    When it comes to the combat it takes a while to get your eye in. Its all about timing. If your off by a millisecond your getting sliced in half. But when you get your timing right it is so satisfying to succeed. I love it. And playing in this beautiful world is a joy to behold. The colours, the sound are just perfect.

    Lets consider this game as a send off to the PS4. It has been a great console that has provided great games such as Uncharted, Spiderman and now Ghost of Tsushima. I hope this is a series in the making cause I'm giving this a TEN. It is really that good. This is some serious polish.

    Insane how some people think any modern Assassins Creed game is better than this. Y’all don’t respect yourselves. I won’t even elaborate, it’s simply an amazing game, just not a masterpiece. I’ve grown very critical about many games recently and have stricter standards, but this one? This is it chief. Playing the PS5 version is a wonderful experience. Definitely a must play.

Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world game that incorporates Samurai and ninja-based combat. You can either face enemies head on as an honorable Samurai, or assasinate them from the shadows as "The Ghost." Join Jin Sakai as he brandishes his katana against the Mongol invaders. Not to mention, their cunning, yet ruthless leader, Khotun Khan. Although the game excels in it's beautiful single-player campaign and excellent gameplay, there are definitely some areas left to be desired. Specifically, it's side missions and collectibles, it's side characters, and it's enemy AI, made me feel as if I was being dragged through hours of gameplay. The story itself has it's moments, but the idea of an open world filled with uninteresting side missions and collectibles made the game feel more like a chore than an addictive experience.

    Aside from the main characters like Yuna, Khotun Khan, and Jin Sakai himself, the rest of the gang - which you'll meet as you play the game - can have missions and dialogue that's hovers between dull or worth listening. And with the number of individual side missions, the enjoyment you spend completing them will depend on your interest in the characters themselves, and the dialogue they offer.

    Combat and gameplay is really good. Instead of swinging your katana in successive X buttons, the game offers a variety of ways to slaughter and kill your Mongol enemies. As you progress through the game, you'll gain "legend points" which will go towards unlocking Jin's Samurai and Ghost skills. You'll get to use a variety of Samurai "stances" which are effective against specific enemy types. There's an extensive list of ninja tools to poison, pierce, blow up, and distract enemy npcs. And with the inclusion of "two" types of bows (Yes two), you can shoot enemies up close and quick, or penetrate their helmet's from a distance. The only problem is, enemy AI during ghost mode is simplistic and predictable. Unlike the ingenious NPC AI from The Last of Us 2, Mongol enemies in Ghost of Tsushima are simply routine in nature; routine patrols, routing searches, and routine alarms when you get caught. Even worse, Jin only does like 3-4 types of animations when killing in stealth mode. Apart from health, Jin can execute specialized Samurai techniques by spending "resolve points" which are replenished during combat or through successful assassinations.

    Aside from the lengthy side missions, the collectibles, Mongol camp liberations, and many others, is where the game starts to feel like Assassins Creed objectives; tedious, tiring, and time-wasting. Ghost of Tsushima contains a very hefty amount of content - weeks worth of gameplay. And as a player, you don't wanna spend that time collecting useless stuff and listen to uninteresting dialogue. Besides the main mission, you'll be dragging yourself across Tsushima completing objectives you don't really enjoy, or collecting artifacts you don't really need.

    Your armor, bow, and sword can be upgraded and customized by collecting resources you find across Tsushima. By collecting the necessary materials, you can improve a weapon's stats or change your Samurai armor's color. Bombs, ninja tools, and others can also be improved by via your "legend points" or upgrade their capacity through animal hides.

    I wouldn't necessarily call Ghost of Tsushima a masterpiece just yet. And I don't believe the 9/10 or 10/10 hype that players give it credit for - fits the hours of gameplay I've expended on it. It's yet to sit alongside God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2 on the tier list. If I could score this as a 7.5, I believe it strongly deserves it. But it's yet to prove itself as an 8. It's a flawed game with excellent gameplay and a heartfelt story. If you want to experience what it's like to play as an authentic Samurai or a stealthy ninja, this game is dedicated for you. If you're interested in an open-world game that explores Japanese culture in all it's authenticity and glory, this game is dedicated for you. If you want to know what it's like to choose between honor and home, then you'll fight alongside Jin Sakai as a warrior of Tsushima. And no amount of bland side missions, chore-like collectibles, and faulty enemy AIs will stop you from experiencing that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima is an excellent game that shows much respect for Japan and it’s culture. The story explores the concept of “Honor” something very important to Japanese society and culture. It explores Jin Sakai’s struggle to try and balance honor and duty and his realization that honor is not one-sided, and it explores it well. However, this game does have some pitfalls; side missions are very repetitive and get boring fast. But, if you look past that; you will enjoy this game. Expand

    Fantastic! I initially bounced off of this game because I was trying to rush through it. I had the same experience with The Witcher 3 and Assassin's Cred: Odyssey. These types of games are meant to be long and involved and the most satisfying way to play them is to find all the little items and side mission along the way.

    The best part of the game is easily the visuals and environments.

    The best part of the game is easily the visuals and environments. The guiding wind mechanic instead of the compass fits so perfectly with this. From falling leaves to moving grass, the world definitely feels realistic. I wound up hunting down all the collectibles just to see more of it.

    The story seemed to start a bit slow, but before I knew it I was hunting down five ronin assassins to duel underneath a waterfall. So it does get quite epic and I did get invested in the side characters along with Jin himself.

    This really does feel like an Assassin's creed game without the modern day BS, which is a great thing. The stealth is very well done and the combat feels very measured and well paced, even in the boss fights. I did have so many abilities by the end that I forgot to use most of them, but that's usually a good thing.

    Highly recommended for sure! Stick with it and you will not be disappointed.

    Spent 73 hours in the game and its honestly an amazing game with notes. There are some annoying and frustrating experience that I have with this game:

    1. Story = Not appealing. It's just not clear as the story seems way too heavy on the role of Shimura instead of focus on Jin as a character. I know we play as Jin and watch him grow but all of them is driven by the urge to save his uncle and again to help his uncle retrieve Tsushima. I'm more into Masako and Ishikawa Tales to be honest.

    2. Combat = WEAK but FUN. The enemy is only around 9-10 types of mongols so you will only find 9-10 different move sets from the mongols. Bosses? They have the same pattern besides their different move-set. After you parry them, you can strike them twice. If you tried to strike them for the 3rd time, they will dodge and sometime counter. Conclusion: EASY even I played it on Lethal difficulty. Parry mechanic is great although it doesn't make any sense as you can defend enemies attack even thou you are backing them but I think that's the part that makes it fun.

    3. Platforming = BAD. You need to run to descend the ladder? And you need to jump to use the ladder? It's a joke. The crawl under also seems buggy as sometimes I'm trapped but the funny thing is if I crawl backward, I can get out with no problem, a complete joke for real. Camera can affect how far you jump from one rock to another so I find it hard going around the shrines with that kind of platforming. Luckily, the grappling hook is fabulous.

    4. Side Mission = REPETITIVE. You talk, trail, observe, ambush/ fight head to head, Done. That all you got for the Side Missions with so many of them in the game. Luckily, the Mythic Tales is a great type of side missions as they are quite variative.

    Other than that, this game has so many positive traits that makes me keep coming back to play it. As you can see, I spent 73 hours on it as I drop all my game to focus on GoT for 2 weeks.

    I think this game will be well received if you like stealth (great IMO), open-world (exploration is rewarding), and of course Japan in general.

    Don't buy this game if you think it can give you the challenge like Sekiro as its not hard at all even on the highest difficulty. Story is just decent but if you completely critical in terms of story, I don't think Ghost of Tsushima deliver a rich story.

You can tell the developers had a great vision that played out perfectly, judging from the number of screenshots of the game's environment I have in my library.
    The main storyline is fun and quite emotional at times and the villain(s) is/are very memorable and well written.
    However, if everything in the game held up this great standard, I wouldn't be giving it an 8/10. There are some issues that I have come across in my roughly 100 hours of playing that I have to mention.
    For one, the side quests almost always follow the same scheme: A person is in distress and tells Jin that they were the victims of either bandits or what they think are "spirits and demons" (which almost every time turns out to be bandits or Mongols anyway). Jin then investigates the crime scene and comes across footprints that conveniently lead him to the bandit camp.
    The other thing is all the collectibles that are strewn around the vast map. There are just too many different things to collect, such as Mongol artifacts, Records, Crickets, and Banners. Without the traveler's armor or a 3rd party interactive map, I couldn't imagine taking the time to find every last one of them.

    And if you're on a trophy hunt like I was, you need to collect all collectibles and finish all side quests in order to 100% the game.

    And please, don't take my criticism as me not enjoying the game. I really did and I'm looking forward to picking up the controller again in a few weeks and New Game+-ing this beast.

    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.
