    This game is simply a masterpiece. One of those game that one you start playing it is just hard to put down. Great gameplay, great setting and great story, even the sidequests feel like full on questline. Clearly suckerpunch put a lot of love and work into this game and it shows at every second of playing. I haven't been this lost in a game since Red Dead Redemption 2. My game of the year!

    Everything is outstanding, from the main story to side quests they don't feel like a chores like other games. Tons of customization and skills you'll be able to do and it depends on what gameplay you'll want. Graphics is great all the scenery will make you love more Japan. Best samurai/ninja game that I've played.

    Amazing game. Last time a game blew me away this hard was the Witcher 3. Now, GoT isn't as expansive as the Witcher 3. However there's something about the game that stops me from putting the controller down. If we can play this on the PS5 right off the bat, trust me, this is going to be the first game I'm playing on that console.

The combat feels smooth and easy to remember, the map may look so small, but the island of Tsushima is so big that I have to rely on fast travel most of the time to get from point A to point B which I love. I’m always the kind of person to do the main story in open world games first, and then the side stories, but there are so many other interesting stories from the people of Tsushima that I still have so much more of the story to go through and sometimes even have to force myself to actually play the story for a bit. The game that is based in Japan that was made by Americans is so good that even the Japanese themselves loved the game!

It is about choices and sometimes he faces the consequences of the choices he makes.

    The gameplay is fun and i never found myself getting bored, in fact I was always very excited when the standoff option appeared and I was about to face more Mongols. I very much enjoyed leveling up the legend of the ghost to unlock more technique points to make Jin extremely powerful.

    The open world is bar the most pleasing in this game. It is gorgeous, though it does make your ps4 fan very loud. I won't dock any points for that however because I find myself stopping constantly taking pictures of the beautiful world that has been crafted by Sucker Punch. Even after game completion I was still finding new things I hadn't discovered before.

    Only negative I can say about the game is the camera system Is a bit of an annoyance when you are in battle. Other than that the game is a masterpiece for sucker punch and my game of the year so far! If you have a PS4, or waiting on PS5, go buy this game cause it is fantastic!    … Expand

    Breathtaking visuals and cinematic combat. Got goosebumps on several occasions when playing. Only a few bugs and some repetition in quest structure. This is the lone wandering swordsman simulator I have been waiting for!

    Great game! It's graphics are great. The lack of a HUD is a bit different, but lets you take in all the sights and sounds of the game. The game is open world, which I love and hate.
    Although combat is seamless, I will complain that sometimes, I'll want to block/attack someone but because there's no lock on feature, I'll end up attacking someone else instead.

Though of course it is not seeped into historical accuracy as much as it strives to, it overall delivers what it promises to fans; the samurai experience. The game's ability to place you in a state of zen using its vibrant display of colours and tranquil music right before you are smoothly transitioned into intense combat feels exactly like the classic samurai movies of old. Though of course this depiction of a samurai is not pinpoint accurate from a purely historical point of view, Kurosawa's classic movies was for the most part how I perceived how the life of a samurai would be. And this game delivers that feeling to a tee. Finally, this game for me deserves a 10 as it harkons back to why games were made in the first place; to give you an escape from the real world. The fact that this game is so immersive gives it the ability to easily pluck me from reality and drop me straight at the centre of 12th century Japan. In this day and age, it is rare for a game to offer such an escape without dragging elements from the real world that initially drove you into gaming in the first place. Unlike certain Sony Enterntainment games that drag you down with agendas, this game puts a lot of love into making players happy, and players such as myself love it back.… Expand

    Havent had this much fun since RDR2. Combat feels amazing, good story, nice customization and a beautiful world that is easy to enjoy, since you're not told what to do by a HUD constantly. Some of the traversal and interaction animations are lacking and can result in immersion-breaking glitches, these are only minor though. Feels like a game for gamers by gamers.

    Ghost of tsushima is one of the best looking open worlds you will ever see. As a Japanese American, it was the perfect depiction of my culture's history, it accurately shows the kind of lives Samurais would live in feudal Japan. While at times the game can become monotonous, it only does it before proceeding into an engrossing sword fight. Loved it! Would recommend 10/10.

The Japanese voice actor is the same guy that voices Zoro from One Piece, and does a great job. It seems to be historically accurate so far... the breed of dogs used by the enemy even seems to be accurate. overall if you like this genre then this will be a great one to pick up!… Expand

    Monumental return to a great single player experience. The combat is difficult to get used to at times. Once over that and with the awe inspiring landscape to help you on the way, you will find as much a history lesson as much a gripping story of intrigue and perseverance to be on a console in a long while.

    I'm about 20 hours into the game so far and haven't even left the first part of the island, but even as of this moment, this is the best Samurai game I've ever seen. The game is insanely beautiful, even on my almost 7 year old Playstation 4 and 10 year old slowly dying plasma screen.

    The gameplay is satisfying and the progression of skills certainly keeps it interesting.

The game is insanely beautiful, even on my almost 7 year old Playstation 4 and 10 year old slowly dying plasma screen.

    The gameplay is satisfying and the progression of skills certainly keeps it interesting. That said, having almost done everything on the first part of the game world, I've almost reached max level already, but even when the character is maxed out I feel like that won't have any impact on the fun and satisfaction I get from playing it.

    There's a notable level of progression of the enemies as you level up, gaining new armor, weapons, they attack you during duels at different speeds than the lower level enemies, and while not much changes, there's still plenty there to keep you on your toes.

    The equipment system is absolutely fantastic. Given that you only have to upgrade one Sword, two Bows, throwable capacity and whatever suits of armor you wish to have, each upgrade can afford to cost more resources and feel even more satisfying when you achieve that new level of power. It's a refreshing breath of air from all of the recent (mostly failed) looter-shooter genre games.

    All in all Ghost of Tsushima is as perfect a Samurai game as we've gotten to date. It's beautiful, fantastic, and immensely satisfying to play.

    That said, it does have its downsides, bugs included, but compared to something like Fallout, they're very few and far between, and don't take you out of the game nearly as bad due to their low frequency. I've experienced the Yellow Bird that leads you to certain destinations flying into walls and buildings then disappearing to reset its pathing. While mildly annoying, I only noticed it one village where I assume they programmed its pathing before building the village. Aside from those few, very light gripes, I'd sat it's the best PS4 exclusive, and a perfect ending to the PS4's legacy.

    PS: As a quick side note, I've noticed people on various media sites griping about racism and historical relevance of the game. It may very well be a Samurai game made by Americans, for Americans, but it was never intended to be a historical fiction. It was made as a love letter to Akira Kurosawa and his masterful Samurai film-making. As a Kurosawa fan myself, I can say that they followed his example closely and made the best Samurai game they could with what they had to work with. This title should be applauded and enjoyed for the game that it is, and not booed for not being the game that woke media is saying it should've been.    … Expand

I seemed to have had an idea of what to expect before playing this, however once i started the game and after the initial 2 hours those expectations were completely blown out of the water. The open world of Tsushima Island seems limitless, the landscape & colors are beyond beautiful, the non-arcade style of combat is rewarding, the more you play, you begin to feel as if you've been fully immersed into what it feels like to be an actual Samurai. This game is a breath of fresh air, it's something i didn't realize that i had wanted within a game until playing it. Although there may be bugs and glitches, this is common with every game, as not everything will be perfect. From side quests to main missions, or free roaming and exploring the landscape I haven't felt any repetitiveness to a degree, there is always something to do. IMO this has been one of the most enjoyable games to play since RDR2 by R*, I would recommend this to anybody looking to get lost in an open world game with a story line that is loosely based on the Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. Thank you Sucker Punch & Sony, this is without a doubt going to be a GOTY candidate.… 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.
