    This game from the get go grabbed my attention. The epic battle between the mongols and samurai, the remnants of them after the battle, insanely good main plot, insanely good combat, a mix of armours and playstyles, no macrotransactions, beautiful graphics.

But there is minir things wrong such as: difficulty being a little to easy on hard . Monce you get used to the combat system mongol forces are easily killed.only strugglesd with duels which is fine, side missions can be abit lackluster but for the most part they were excellent and finally the ending. The ending was fine but should of had an overview of what jin had accomplished and the ghosts army, but this is imo the best contender for goty 10/10… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great scenery, close to Japanese tradition that even the Japanese critics praise it for that. That together with the Assassin's Creed vibe in an open world creates a really stunning gameplay and the graphics are on a whole new level! I've stopped and paused many times during the first few hours to just marvel at it all. This is entertainment at it's best. This is exactly what gamers want. It's only a pity one cannot trust these review scores because there are a lot of angry REEEEE SJW's that are extremely salty over the fact that everyone is of the opinion tlou2 was just absolute trash/garbage and a dumpsterfire on every way you look at it. The story was trash, the ID-politics were an absolute cringe-feast, Buffy the feminist made no sense, she's bad until she finds the last Airbender that needs to fight the fire nation and it was so depressing that probably half of the gamers afterwards took the pharmacies by storm for some prozac. Naughty Dog totally missing out on why gamers play games or why it's called the entertainment industry in the first place. I'd advise you to go through the negative reviews here and see how many of them unsurprisingly gave tlou2 a 10 and Ghost of Tsushima a 0, which tells you all you need to know that they are just trolls. Wouldn't even surprise me if the majority of them are from salty Naughty Dog employees that can't stand all the hate their game got and how objectively bad it really was; certainly if you compare it with Ghost of Tsushima which is probably a title for the history books and deserves the title 'epic'.… Expand

But other than that it's amazing. Flicking the blood off my sword and putting it away after every single fight never got old, the duals make you feel like you're in an old samurai movie just everything about this game the world and all the little details pulled me in. Again just an amazing game just hope they make another one.… Expand

The wind mechanic that leads you to your destination is very cleaver From sucker punch because it makes exploration more fun to make the player focus on visual clues like birds to lead to a mission and I have not seen many games trying it . It’s the best samurai/ninja ever created because of the amazing fluid combat system that’s so satisfying that’s makes you feel like a samurai and also with many cool detailed customization. There is some technical problems such the character going through some trees but it’s most has to do with ps4 hardware limitations which is expected in open world games for such an ambitious game or maybe the developers have a plan future patch to fix it. The game loading time Is so fast for an open world game which is an amazing technical achievement by the developers. The story has a great plot of exploring Jin internal struggles of abandoning his samurai code which was a serious offense in Japanese culture at that era and find a new way to save his people from the mighty mongols empire that happened to be strong for the Japanese. I really like the characters especially Jin who is a calm intelligent badass. Overall I had so much fun in this game since far cry 3. It’s a game of the year in my book.… Expand

This game takes all of the best parts of previous games and seamlessly combines them into a masterpiece of a final product. The game runs better than any game I've played in a long time. It has incredible render distance, crisp resolution, rock solid stable fps, and maybe the best lighting and visual effects I have ever witnessed in a video game.

    As for the gameplay, picture a stealth combat system that is reminiscent of Assasin's creed 2.0, with a combat system that is about 10x better and more rewarding than any similar franchise has ever mustered up before. If stealth isn't your thing, simply walk up to the front gates of an enemy encampment and put your dodging/parrying skills to the test to win the fight like a true Samurai; not like some "coward who strikes from the shadows." The game also features brutal and gorey finishers that will result in dismembered limbs and blood hurling in every direction. Buy the damn game. If you want to 100% complete everything, you're looking at a 50-60 hour experience most likely. This is one that will be talked about for years, so you wouldn't want to miss it.    … Expand

Świetna fabuła, zadania poboczne, obłędna grafika, znajdźki, ścieżka dźwiękowa, tryb kurosawy, klimat samurajski, rozwój postaci i bardzo krótkie czasy ładowania to największe plusy tej pozycji.

    The game is an open world action adventure with all you can expect such as farming, sneaking, fighting and an engaging story.

    I am not a big fun of open world game, I consider the busy bee side quests boring and repetitive but GoT was a pleasant surprise, far better than any other game of this kind and all together it is an excellent IMHO.
    It is important to know there is no level gating, no microtransaction, no season passes no XP boosters, nothing of the sort, you can do what you want, when you want as long as you progress forward with the main quest.
    My score would be a 9.5 but due to the apparent ongoing review bombing I decided to go for a 10.    … Expand

    The definition of perfection. That about sums up not only the experience you have on the island of Tsushima, but the game as a whole. To summarize this without writing too long of a review, I will point out definitive examples. Basically everything you do in Ghost of Tsushima is Tsushima feels like a natural,

    MASTERPIECE! Perfectly balanced gameplay which allows you to chose your own style. The stealthy and agressive modes are both extremely satisfying to play with. Graphics are great and the story is brilliant: long and varied! 10 out of 10 for me. I wish all games had this kind of gameplay style: choice is everything.

I do find myself forgetting to utilize certain moves and options, but I guess this may change in time. The exploration is amazing. I'm heading toward a mission, and I get lost in the world and side stories that another 2 hours have gone by . All in all, I'd say this is a fitting swansong to the PS4.

    Only thing that’s bad with this game is the Japanese dialogue didn’t match with lips, Jin can’t jump down anything and the camera angle messed you up sometimes but that can be easily fixed in a update/patch

Sucker Punch has done a wonderful job of bringing a memorable samurai experience to the PS4 by staying true to the themes and values presented by this time period without bringing unnecessary modern political culture.

The swordplay is awesome and with so many variants never feels old. This game was what I needed after my disappointment with The Last Of Us 2. Games above all else should be fun. This is Fun.

    Story, music and graphics are top notch, but most importantly the art style is incredibly beautiful and atmospheric. The love the creators had for ancient Japanese culture is extremely palpable..

    I highly recommend everyone to set the language to Japanese audio with subtitles, it truly feels like you're playing an Akira Kurosawa movie. The game even offers a "Kurosawa setting" that let's you play the game in a black & white cinematic mode, I haven't tried it yet because I initially wanted to see it fully colorized, which is totally worth it, but now that I fell in love with this universe I think the Kurosawa mode could be pretty amazing actually.

    This is a must play for anyone, even if you think you're not interested in Japanese culture, after this game, you definitely will be. The game transcends genres, it's a true work of art. 10/10    … Expand

I’m About 20 hours into the game, I believe at least and this is the first game I actually felt compelled to write a review for because I want to see this game thrive and be a part of that so sucker punch sees this reception of their product and other companies see the refinements they have made on open world immersion and the gaming industry as a whole continues to put out great quality products like this. I do not know how the story ends but personally I am very immersed into it, I just got to the second area of the map and completely liberated the first area yesterday and I plan to progress even further today, even though I watched reviews and knew that the straw hat ronin were an enemy in the story when I actually played that completely slipped my mind so when the twist of Ryuzo joining the mongols reared it’s head I was genuinely shocked and invested in jin taking him down where he stood. This is the first game story wise I’ve gone in completely blind into (other than gameplay and enemy types of course) and I’m so glad I did I cannot wait to see how this tale concludes and if the legend of the ghost will prevail.… Expand

    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.
