    The game is a pure masterpiece. It combines the best of the current generation, a quest system from Witcher 3, a rich combat system from God of War, a story when the main character reconsiders his values like in RDR 2 and a cool authentic setting like in Horizon Zero Dawn. Definitely must play and one of the best Sony's games!!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is everything I could’ve dreamed of from when I first heard about this games development. First, Jin Sakai is an incredibly well done character. Daisuke Tsuji did a amazing job. Moreover, his character development is phenomenal. Furthermore, the other characters, such as; Lady Masako, Norio, Yuna, Taka, Ryuzo, Khotun Kahn, Ishikawa etc. are also doing brilliantly. I loved and was completely invested in every characters story and personality. The combat is excellent, with a plethora of techniques and mechanics which help it be very, very fun and non-repetitive because there’s so many ways to go about it. For example, you could stand off against the enemy, use ranged weapons, be completely stealthy, use the ghost weapons or use all of the above simultaneously. The one thing that I didn’t really like about this game is that the final battle against Khotun Kahn wasn’t a duel scenario. The fact that it was just like normal playing made it seem less impactful as the penultimate important fight. This character that has been an portrayed numerous times to be a ruthless warlord who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal is suddenly a relatively easy fight (normal difficulty) and I think they could’ve made his duel move set more punishing and complex. Back to positivity, the ending was incredible, the duel with Lord Shimura was a surprise for me, but a welcome one. It once again showed the lengths that samurai would go to maintain their honour. I let Shimura live as I just couldn’t bring myself to kill him, even if it was the more emotionally powerful ending. Last, I’d like to say a few words about the ‘fashion’ this game. I believe that the vanity in ghost of Tsushima is impeccable. It is incredible. There is an extraordinary range of varying headbands, straw hats, kabuto and some that guard such as the tengai. Moreover, the choice of colour and mask was very nice as many of them represented something different, personally, I wore the ghost set through the rest of the game after I got it because it looks amazing and because it came from Taka and that was enough to make me wear it.… Expand

It was intriguing to see the main character change his values and the internal conflict he has with this change to save his home.
    The open world of the island of Tsushima has many things to do with plentiful side quests and activities that are beneficial for your playthrough. One of my favourite parts are the samurai duels that you will encounter throughout the story, they feel badass and can be challenging on the harder difficulty. I also enjoyed the legendary tales which would reward you with badass weapons or abilities. Additionally, the tales of the important side characters were great to playthrough as well, as it added more emotional depth to the characters.
    The only complaint I had with the game is that the enemy AI are dumb, especially in stealth. The detection meter is unrealistically slow and it sometimes broke the immersion for me. Sometimes I felt the game is best enjoyed attacking the enemies head-on rather than using the stealth approach and the missions that required to do stealth can feel really slow.
    Despite that, GOT is another PS4 exclusive that is a must have and has game of the year potential. Definitely going in my top 5 for open-world games.    … Expand

I´ve been a fan of Kurosawa for a long time so this is just the pinnacle of games for me. Compared to the witcher or Red Dead Redemption what i really prefered in Ghost of Tsushima is, that there is no urgency and Quest Bombing of side activities. Remember coming into a new town in Witcher 3 while in a Quest and 20 People runnning asking for some Urgent Side Mission you have to do? It really broke the emersion for me always to be thrown into new quest and then while i´m doing the Quest getting 3 new Quests. Its was really annoying. GoT gives you new Quests of course but none of them have immenent urgengy, "Quickly, go ther and help or everybody dies" like it had in the other games.
    The visuals are just stunning and really beautiful. The Quest are interesting. They get sometimes a bit repetitive but the game comensates that with a big variety of tackeling the Quest. You can sneak, you can do a Stand Off, you can just storm in a camp and reach havoc, the game gives you a lot of choices and freedom to acomplish your goals.    … Expand

    After Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2, no game got me feeling excited or forced me to play beyond my gaming time. Not until I played Ghost of Tsushima. I already clocked more than 50 hours into the game. As a working adult, I'm having trouble balancing my acts.

    This game is legendary. There's nothing like it. I've always wanted to experience being a samurai. Not only is it stunningly beautiful but its intensely hard hitting. The story of Jin standing up for his country while trying to live up to his heritage is an amazing thing to see. The combat is smooth and clean. This game doesnt bring anything new to gaming but it does deliver as promised.

    This game is extremely derivative doing nothing new to the open world genre. The open world is extremely dull and lifeless as well as having pretty much absolutely nothing to do. And the combat which i see is receiving high praise is just god awful some of the must menial worst combat in a game i have played in a long time. Would not recommend

    The story in Ghost of Tsushima is having a mixed feeling from its player base, but for me personally, it has a very solid character base, which are both interesting and intriguing, main missions are amazing, as-well as your allies ‘tales’ (although short),but... the random side quests that you can find scattered around the map are just not interesting enough. They feel repetitive, uncreative, too short, and unmemorable in total, which is a shame truly.

    Enemy strongholds and camps are unique and hand crafted one by one, and it feels rewarding completing all the bonus objectives and collecting everything the camp has to offer. From technical point of view, i find it impressive that SP managed to deliver this amazing experience in a 47 GB package. I would say this is a very solid purchase if you find yourself loving samurai tales, or wanted Ubisoft to create AC: Japan (Ghost would be way better in my opinion).    … Expand

Then, I saw the trailers and I was excited but not as much as I would have been for an infamous game. Recently, having played FF7 remake, my bar for GOTY 2020 was pretty. And damn, did this game come close and is not just my second fav game of this year after FF7 remake but one of my top 10 games of this gen. It is a joy to play from start to finish.
    1. Gameplay: This is the best part about this game and well, this matters the most. The game handles everything to perfection. There are two ways to approach most situation: the samurai/honorable way and the ghost way. I prefer ghost way for taking back some posts but the samurai way for most of the story stuff and random encounters. The combat is incredible. From the standoff to the sword and using multiple stances to fight different enemies, it is amazingly satisfying. Every encounter is a joy to play. It is not hard but it is that perfect level of difficulty that you at least have to take each encounter carefully depending on how many and the types of the enemies are there. Stealth approach tho is amazing too. You have to plan out and execute it and if you get it right, you will be able to do this in one go with no problem : and this shows why we need an AC japan game xD.
    2. Story : This might seem weak at the start as you think "typical, simple, meh, heard it, been there, done that" but as you play more and realize what the story is actually about (apart from the obvious quest for revenge), you see why this is a perfect samurai story for gaming. I won't spoil anything as this is a joy to play through but rest assured, give the story a little bit of time and you will love it.
    3. Art style and Graphics: fantastic, just wow. Easily up there in terms of graphics with god of war, red dead 2, TLoU 2, etc and I would say surpassing them all in terms of art style. The game looks amazing with a beautifully realized world and a really well crafted structured map. I would argue that this is an open world game : done right. Everything flows well. Forests, the small houses you encounter, the settlements : all looks authentic and well made. I would say that this game is the most beautiful of the whole generation.
    4. Surprising but HUD: wow, I am surprised how much this pleased me but this game doesn't have any mini map, objective marker when playing. You just see the game and nothing else, an incredible level of immersion. And the way it handles tracking your quests : surprising but really really well done.
    Overall, 10/10. It is one of the few games I have ever thought is a 10/10. Highly recommended to anyone who has a ps4.    … Expand

    I thought it is just another good open world game. But now.. I think it is almost new game genre - "fluid open world". It is in my top10-games-ever list. I play on hard and I have to utilize all kinds of skills to survive. However I wasn't able to beat first duel-story-boss on hard.. I really want NewGame+ added to be able to beat him on hard finally..

    Simply just a beautiful and well written game. Combat is amazing, definitely a step up from Sucker Punches past games like ps3's Infamous. Characters are very well designed and intricate. So, far I am really loving the entirety of ACT 1.

    I've loved everything about this game since I started playing last week. The camera was a little odd initially but with the combat mechanics and the number of opponents you have to face it makes most sense not to have a lockon system. Haven't quite finished it yet as I'm trying to make it last as long as possible! Easily Game of the Year for me!

    The most fun I’ve had playing a game in a long time. Not only that - the story pays homage to the samurai genre but wisely doesn’t get trapped in predictable tropes. Perhaps best of all - it brilliantly tells a story that is nuanced, culturally appropriate, respectful, and engaging. I love seeing newer media storytelling not stereotype or impose a western framework of character and culture into a foreign land. They nailed giving a feeling of authenticity. For me, the core relationships in this game are extremely memorable which I’ll remember fondly and motivations felt truthful. The combat in this game is so good and has some of the most badass moments in recent gaming. I really enjoyed side quests and all battles, sieges, and duels. Lastly, this game fully utilizes the open world format and its beautiful atmosphere, and landscapes encourage exploration more than any game I’ve played. The disappearing UI design should become a new standard for exploration-based open world games. It was easy to just ride your horse and continuously discover new things throughout the world. Highly recommend! Here’s to more!

My only big problem the side mission and most of the activities got repetitive towards the middle of the game. But there were a few gems of smaller missions tho. With that being said tho everything else is amazing. The main story, the characters and seeing how Jin transforms through out the game was amazing to see. And visually this game is something else. I could literally just find a nice spot just to soak up the amazing graphics and art direction. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I played a game so beautiful and it’s all so detailed, closet game I can think of is RD2 but something about GoS art direction gives it a slight edge. The game does start off slow but once it’s running it doesn’t stop and lets you free to however you want to play. By the end you feel like a samurai/ninja.

    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.
