    Omg this game makes me speechless when I first played. It was like I was in the game myself fighting Mongols on the beach, and defending tsushima. I couldn't stop playing until I realized that it was 7 in the morning and that I've been playing it for 8 hours straight.

    Easily my favorite game of 2020. This game justifies the concept of video games being art.

    20 hours in and not a second of boredom. Characters feel real, combat is intense, side missions are memorable, and the sound samples are incredible.

    Thank you Sucker Punch.

    what a game! easily the best third person combat system ever made , a blend of Assassins creed/ Spider Man and Batman Arkham Knight. Silky smooth and enough new elements introduced through out to mix it up. The story is serviceable and does the job but the Beautiful locals makes up for it. Enjoy the journey and the little moments. One of the games of the Console generation for me, Don't miss it !

    I really love how Sucker Punch captured the essence of old Japan. This game makes me feel playing an Akira Kurosawa movie. Akira would have been proud. Ghost of Tsushima captures the mystique, fierce violence, and barely contained emotional angst of the great samurai films

    SuckerPunch has created a game to remember. Many people will say: yeah, but it's a basic cookie cutter open world game. But look at the details, the thought of how this game was put together, the things that you can do, everything is brought to a level that gives just that extra touch.
    Sure there might be some glitches (which I haven't encountered yet) and it might look a little bit

    Sure there might be some glitches (which I haven't encountered yet) and it might look a little bit different compared to what was shown a couple years back, but this made the game even better. It's a masterpiece and in my opinion for now the contender for GOTY.
    For those who "hate" the game, I would highly recommend to visit a hotspring and reflect upon yourself.

I generally like open world type games (so long as the story doesn't stink). The combat is interesting enough so as to not become too boring. I can't really find too much wrong with it at the moment :^)

Very satisfying Combat, stand off against enemies, using different stances and ghost weaponry to take down a bunch of mongols. Some may say it looks easy but you have to be very careful while fighting enemies especially ronin as they are no less than a samurai. Beautiful wonderful open world of this game never ever gets me bored. It's just so colourful and beautiful. There are numerous interesting tales and tales that can give u special attacks. There are tales of mythic legends which provide u many great attack skill. The title intro still gives me goosebumps. Jin sakai OST really gets me hyped all the time.

    A masterpiece in the the PS4 generation. This game is put along side with my ps4 favourites that include god of war, spiderman, horizon zero dawn and FF7 remake.

    The summary of my reasons for the score:
    Good:
    -Graphics are just stunningly beautiful with the use of vibrant colors of the environment and also the physics of the world that makes it come alive.
    -Story: a revenge story consisting of supurb voice acting and in depth characters that help you throughout your journey in recapturing the lands of Tsushima that has been taken by the mongol empire.
    -The lack of UI in gameplay makes the game even more immersive than most open world games. Clever use of foxes and wind to guide you to hidden gems and objectives, provides you the natural sense of wanting to explore more.
    -Combat: a smooth and fluid combat system that provides you different stances to approach different types of enemies and a large array of utilities available to make your fight much more exciting! The game truly makes you feel and fight like a samurai (if you choose that path of course).
    -The open world has many activites similar to AC but does it even better without the grind/pay wall to get you to the next main quest or acquiring a better gear.
    The bad:
    -Japanese dub, the game should of been recorded in japanese and have english as a dub feature for a more authentic experience as the japanese dub is off sync with the lips during dialogue. But the english voice acting is excellent and i don't see it as a reason to take points off.

    Overall: Ghost of Tsushima is a perfect samurai AC game i have been waiting decades for and when ubisoft does make a japanese AC game i don't think it will compare to this masterpiece. Every feature in this game has been polished and for that reason it's a must BUY on full price to help support Sukerpunch and this game itself.

Jin’s story is really well done in spite of the progression he takes from a by-the-code samurai to using the underhanded tactics of a ninja being a bit to believe. The betrayal of the straw hats could have been done better with a tale of hurt pride or jealousy rather than of hunger, but considering the main focus of this game is the Mongols and their invasion, it’s not the worst thing in the world. The graphics are done to perfection and while the camera is finicky at times, but the gameplay itself is great and the motions characters make as they strike and the visuals that appear on screen more than make up for this leaving the player awestruck.

    this is a very good game, I really appreciate the efforts of the SP team who have done in-depth research on Japanese history and culture, so it gives a natural impression when playing this game, despite all kinds of minor flaws in this game, I think this is best work from SP, congratulations.

    Apsolute masterpiece. Nothing else needs to be said about the game that has it all right. Combat is amazing,it never gets dull cutting your enemies and then cleaning your katana using your sleeve, or just flicking the sword at the side, splashing the remaining blood on the flowers in the field. Graphics also looks amazing, probably the best that will ever exist on PS4 pro. The biggestApsolute masterpiece. Nothing else needs to be said about the game that has it all right.

Graphics also looks amazing, probably the best that will ever exist on PS4 pro. The biggest factor here is the story, which is apsolutely fantastic. You can literally see the strugle of the main character between how he was raised to live and fight and how he must adapt and change in order to survive the invasion of an enemy that is far superior in numbers and fights by totally different rules. Side quests are amazing and interesting, not boring like in some games, you dont have to do them but they give so much more context to side characters like Masako and Ishigawa for example. 10/10, if i could give it a million,i would. The only game that comes even close to God of War (2018). Expand

    This game is Keanu Reeves (Breathtaking). I have till date not sent such a huge amount of time exploring the world rather than playing the Mission. The side quests feel less like side missions and More like the main mission. The guiding winds just make us feel like we're part of the game and are not just using some mini map to help us reach places. Totally adore this game

    The game provides a new perspective on Japanese culture and at the same time provides an engaging gameplay and an incredible art direction.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima is a game that I cannot adequately express in only 5000 characters. Taking control of Samurai lord Jin Sakai, it is up to you to help reclaim Tsushima from the first Mongol invasion-and that's only the main storyline. Side stories of mentors and acquaintances make this game something completely unique in spite of the fact that it's only another entry in the open world market. Jin's sword in combat has weight to the strikes, each slash having a chance to catch into your opponents for that brutal, blood-spraying, ripping action. Your 'ghost tools' all feel like they have a special purpose, even if you use them or not. You'll soon feel like a master of the bow as you quickly shift from half bow to longbow, and all the special arrow types between. Each sword stance is beautiful, and has it's own allure. I could keep listing the positives, but, for a fair review, I feel I must point out the negative in all this-your map being complete depends entirely on you exploring the areas. Yes, defeating a Mongol-occupied territory helps with some of your map, but, that doesn't stop that you'll need to run and ride with your horse in order to fill it in. Luckily, though, the landscape is filled with little gems-scenes of bandits, Mongols, and peasants living their lives, or having died by others hands. This is, I would say, a definitely buy immediately game. Expand

    Sucker Punch has truly outdone themselves and set the bar higher for open world games and the way they approach exploration. Through the use of the guided wind mechanic, I never felt lost and at the same time never felt like the game was holding my hand to my next destination. I normally rush through the main story and then replay a second time, taking my time to see everything.

I normally rush through the main story and then replay a second time, taking my time to see everything. However, this is the first open world game that I truly became lost in. I explored every inch of the map and enjoyed the deep "side" quests which serve to flesh out the world and characters.

    The combat is fast and fluid. Coming from Nioh and Sekiro, I still found the game to be incredibly challenging at times, while never having the **** one hit kills that Nioh can have. The combat evolved constantly and 50 hours in, I still don't feel even slightly bored. I hope they will add challenge rooms or something similar to the Arkham Games. The combat is a mix of the old Assassins Creed games, a bit of Arkham games, Shadow of War and a bit of Spiderman PS4 in the way that you are allowed and even encouraged to experiment in your approach. No two fights will ever feel the same.

    You already know the graphics are stunning, the game is lengthy and deep. The map is the most diverse I have ever seen in a game. If you love revenge stories, you will definitely be satisfied and I eventually grew to feel as though I was Jin Sakai, the Ghost.Go out and get this game. You will not be dissapointed.

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
