    This is the first review I have ever written but I just could not let the dumbass critics get away with giving Ghost of Tsushima 83....83 WTF?? Like what are they comparing it too? Were they in such a hurry to score it that they didn’t even play much of it? Trust me, ignore them and just read the players comments on here and on YouTube videos and you will realise the critics take their jobThis is the first review I have ever written but I just could not let the dumbass critics get away with giving Ghost of Tsushima 83....83 WTF?? Like what are they comparing it too? Were they in such a hurry to score it that they didn’t even play much of it? Trust me, ignore them and just read the players comments on here and on YouTube videos and you will realise the critics take their job description to literally...they just like to be critical even when it’s not warranted!

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful game, immersive, thoughtfully done making playing the game very user friendly ie the combat flows and is like no other, travelling around the world is a pleasure, the wind system is genius and the side quests are genuinely interesting and you feel invested in saving Tsushima.

    I’ve played hundreds of games on multiple platforms over many decades and this game stands out and is the easiest 10/10 I have ever given. Do yourself a favour and play it, you won’t regret it!

    This game is totally inaccurate, because the mongolians don't use the sweet and sour pork trojan horse trap. 0/10

    The Best video game on the genre... borrows a lot of thing from other games and make it better. The art on the game is superb, and the combat!!! it’s incredible. No **** quick animations, not annoying stuff... Sucker Punch nailed it . Thank you

    They also managed to keep it manageable, there is not a crazy amount of combos that you need to memorize to have a chance.

    * A beautiful open world that is fun exploring - Not huge, but what is there is interesting and beautiful to look at. Art-style is really good, simple but well made. Not sprinkled with a bunch of filler stuff like so many other open world game, what is there is mostly fun and rewarding to do not just a bunch of stupid busy work.

    * Interesting story and characters.

    * Fair quality side-quests to do.

    * Main story requires just about the right amount of time to finish - not a story that drags on and overstays its welcome (im looking at you TLOU2, which I did like but the main story was way to long).

    * Boss fights are not that great. This to me is the one real weakness the game has, the boss fights feel very random and its hard to see a clear pattern to beat them. A lot of time I felt like I was unfairly punished when I "did step out of the way" or "did block" a hit.

    Overall, a great game with some minor flaws, but still in a league of its own

    Beautiful and breathtaking. Open world feels like a Mixture of The Witcher and Far Cry. While quest directs are linear and you cannot change the outcome, it’s still beautifully done. The combat is unique, getting used to different stances felt a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s easy to get into after the 1st hour of play through.

    If you, like me, desperately seek a game that could stand beside Witcher 3, seek no more, it's here. Ghost of Tsushima is a lesson learned from W3, with slightly worse presentation (subjective!) and much better combat mechanics. Quests are diverse and engaging and the open world just waits for you to explore. Great game!

    Ghost of Tsushima makes assassins creed origin and odyssey feel dated. And I really enjoyed those games. Sucker Punch created a stunning, living world. Graphics are insane, technology is smooth with some incredibly fast teleportation and gameplay mechanics is well though with the wind showing you the way. Yes it does not reinvent the open world genre but definitely push the envelope.Ghost of Tsushima makes assassins creed origin and odyssey feel dated. And I really enjoyed those games.

Every time I take the controller I feel like I going back to a world, not a game.

    A true masterpiece. Thank you Sucker Punch.

    Ps: I feel bad for those reviews giving this game a low score. How is it possible not the charmed by the elegance of this game. Advice: I recommend playing with Japanese audio and crank the difficulty to hard as soon as you feel powerful enough.

    Beautiful game, world design very well reflects the atmosphere of feudal Japan. The music gives an extraordinary effect - the whole thing looks like Kurosawa's Seven Samurai. Some people compare this game to Assassin's Creed - it's something else.
    The story may not be of the highest caliber, but a well-balanced one allows you to feel the atmosphere of the samurai world.

I think the landscape and gameplay are phenomenal, and this is for sure one of the best games ever made in the PS4. The only critique I have is that the face graphics leave a bit to be desired, and that the cinematic portions are a literal downgrade to the actual gameplay (which looks great) which is very strange. I think Ghost of Tsushima has some of the best side quests out there, and has done a great job filling up the map without making you feel exhausted like Assassins Creed games tend to do. Sucker Punch should be proud of their achievement, and with all the backlash over Last of Us Part 2, I wouldn't surprised if most reviewers hail Ghost of Tsushima as the greatest PS4 exclusive of 2020. Ghost of Tsushima is truly a fitting end to the phenomenal mainstream series of PS4 exclusives that we have been spolied with this gaming generation. Expand

    To put it short-- I haven't actually enjoyed an open-world game like this in a long time. With minimal UI, the game allows you to take in all the beauty Sucker Punch put into this game. The Japanese voice acting is incredible and deserves high praise. The game progresses you at just the right pace and gives a variety of styles to play.

Ghost of tsushima doesn't reinvent the open world samurai genre, it creates a new standard that the gaming scene will need to follow.

If there is one thing which takes getting used to, it is the lack Of camera lock and camera positioning in general. A minor flaw.

    Yes, the game is beautiful but what else? Well the combat isn't that excellent but it wasn't bad, it kept me going and slaughtering the enemy in the early game with honor and in the late game I became a ghost who introduced my tanto to their backs. But the duels were fun, I loved them since they striped you away from your ghost weapons and leaving you with the skills that will use your limited amount of resolve and your basic attacks. Admittedly the late game duels can be as easy as you want with Ghost stance but honestly I think it's on purpose, since at this point you are at your strongest so of course you should be able to demolish your enemies.
    The main story had it's moments, mainly being the ones where Jin had to turn his back to everything he had or was going to have. Unless you play it with Japanese, there is a huge lack of emotion and the incorrect subtitles annoyed me more than I want to admit. The side stories were good-ish but the side missions that were given by random peasants tended to be tedious, walk there kill some mongols, return to the peasant, either find out that they lied or mongols killed them.
    The music was also enjoyable, and I think it was well made.
    Honestly I'm just trying as hard as I can to nitpick bad things in the game so I think 10 is warranted, while not perfect it's one of the best games I have played in years. Sure there were some things I wished they would have done, especially after 100% the game. Maybe a small mythic tale type of ending for Jin's and Yuna's stories.
    Small suggestion, play it as RPG start embracing the ghost side when the story also does so it feels more awesome.

    The game look magnificent. The foliage is insanely good. the combat is weighty smart and skillful, you will feel you get better at it. at first 2 guy is hard but by the end you will take down a small army by yourself. the story is highly inspire by Akira Kurosawa. If you like that style

    No lvl cap no story obligation want to take on the first castle at the very beginning go on do it just DO IT.

    I love pretty much every character, none of them feel out of place.

    There are some issue, being stuck in a hill, the camera trying to kill you (joke on you enemies also does sound when attacking you no need of my eye biacth), The ai is well assasincreed 2 lvl, either ulter trash or predator like.

    The good outright kill of the bad if you start it at 9 am you might still be playing it at 9am the next morning.

    After the huge fail of TLOU2 I think a lot of gamers waited for this game a long time. And give it a positive bombing 10/10. To be fair - this is a really GOOD game, but not a 10/10. Let's write Ubisoft on the cover instead of SP - I'll bet it would get a solid 6/10. It's a generic open world which looks stunning - I'll give it that. And it's also my fatigue of open world games too. ItAfter the huge fail of TLOU2 I think a lot of gamers waited for this game a long time. And give it a positive bombing 10/10.

    The setting is cool, the combat is okayish....but I didn't like the camera in narrow spaces - you'll get killed a lot because of the camera and the missing lock-on system, which is really annoying! Aside from that the side quests and loot-mechanics, talent systems etc. pp. are all like in 2015 - nothing new as I said. I hope it comes to pc to unlock the full potential of this beautiful game. At least there are no politics in this game and no lootboxes, this alone is a +2 today. Sad but true.

    So Nioh 2 keeps the No. 1 game for me this year and cannot be beaten by any other I think (no also not by CP2077 because I hate FPS). Nioh 2 has the best combat system in any game so far, waaaay better than Sekiro or DS3, Bloodborne. GOTY for me.

This is a game that truly deserves all the praise it gets, and it's a shame Sony instead blew all their marketing budget on that overrated piece of garbage that was TLOU2. This game has far more heart put into it, and it's story than TLOU ever had. The fact that studio and Sony didn't attack people for their opinions on it also helps...

    Of course game isn't perfect, but it's the best game I played this year so far, so I'm willing to forgive some bugs and few rough edges. And I honestly hope Sucker Punch will make another game in a Japanese setting... perhaps something in Sengoku Jidai era? Involving Oda Nobunaga(As a major character, not necessarily protagonist...), one of biggest badasses in history? That would be awesome.

    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.
