    Overall the game is great. Graphics is amazing and also the gameplay. Some minor issues like repetitive quests and camera gets clunky during clmbat since there’s no lock-on option. Also, i think it would be better to have a skip option for cutscenes :)

    Beautiful game in a setting inspired by Japan.
    The world is nowhere near realistic, but it doesn't have to be - the game is super fun and shows you "romanticized" Japan, that most fans of The Rising Sun country will love.
    Story at the beginning is not too ambitious. And because of that I got way more than I was expecting at the end. If you love katana, Japanese cherry blossom and    Beautiful game in a setting inspired by Japan.

    It's a great game with fantastic graphics, that said it gets a bit repetitive and there's not much to find through exploring other than cosmetics, if it had a little more weight in its RPG mechanics and more rewarding exploration it would have been a 10.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion it's a enjoyable game. The graphics are okay for the ps4 and the landscapes are just beautiful. The combat was pretty fun. Actually I had a lot of fun with the combat system and I can't clearly tell you why. The story is cool if you are into Samurai stuff, like the 武士道 (Bushido code), or you just have some backround knowledge about the mongolinvasion etc. but if not it's a okay story not overwhelming. But the whole exploration is just astonishing, in my opinion, it's fun and the lovely little details, like petting a fox, climbing up Shinto shrines, or just relaxing in an onzen makes it even much better. The sidequests gives us a look in diffrent personalities, which we meet in our revenge trip. Like the one with massako a women, who lost her whole family and has nothing else in her mind, than revenge for her family. And the Ishikawa storyline is cool too. It's kinda like Anakin vs Obi wan. The only thing I doesn't like is the whole camera stuff. It is annoying sometimes, like in from software games. But all in all a very decent game, that is a must buy, if you are interested in japanese culture or Samurai/Shinobi action.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is average. Nothing really special about it at all besides the guiding wind. None of the characters are particularly interesting and neither are some of the plotlines. Traveling the world is really boring and typical of many open world games. You set a waypoint, use the wind to guide you and 8/10 you'll run into a group of bandits or mongols to fight. There are enemy bases and fox dens to stumble across as well, along with hot springs, etc. The graphics should not look as off as they do. This is suppose to be the PS4's last big game and it looks like this? Gameplay is fun but generic and standard. Nothing new there. Animations seem like they weren't finished. Weird glitches like npcs bouncing up and down in corners. Facial animations are bad, and the words dont even sync with the mouths of the characters half the time. There are dialogue options that pop up sometimes, but you can only choose between 2 statements and no matter which you use, it doesn't have an effect on gameplay, the story, or even character dynamics.

    This game has been hyped to hell and it really isn't anything special. It plays and feels similar to Assassin's Creed pre origins, however, unlike those Assassin's Creed games, Ghost of Tsushima doesn't have intriguing characters and it doesnt have much of an engaging story.    … Expand

It’s got some pretty dumb AI that makes the stealth a little awkward sometimes, but most of the time the stealth is still really fun. And if you decide to be an honorable samurai, the combat is incredible. The stances introduce a level of complexity that I still haven’t unlocked the full depths of. On surface level, each stance just works better against different enemies (which on its own can make the strategy of each fight really fun) but once you start to get good at switching stances around you realize how personalized each fight can become. Each stance has a variety of different heavy attacks that all have cool different animations, and when you finally start experimenting successfully with these, it’s incredibly badass. One of the better combat systems I’ve ever seen in a video game, though the difficulty levels may leave a little to desire for people who enjoy From Software games.

    The world is like constantly walking through the most perfect samurai movie. It’s nothing like real life Tsushima (which apparently is mostly mountains and dense forest, which is beautiful in its own right but wouldn’t make for a very fun open world), and instead pulls biomes from all over mainland Japan. There’s an incredible simplicity with each area that really makes every single moment memorable. Jason Connell and the rest of the art team really had a clear vision of minimalism and executed it perfectly.

    The music as well accents every second of the game perfectly. It’s not always playing, and it doesn’t have the same consistent ambient music like in Red Dead, but this means that when it starts to play it really evokes every emotion it’s meant to. The strongest example of this for me is when you’re following a fox to an Inari shrine. Absolutely magical moment every time, as a furry little friend leads you to the shrine, this beautiful ethereal music eases its way into your ears filling you with an incredible sense of wonder and magic. Truly one of the best moments of the game every time it happens.

    The story is much more mature than I was really expecting, especially given how little of it they actual showed in their marketing. It doesn’t do too much to really shock you or subvert the typical tropes of the samurai Genre, but it’s an incredible story of Jin Sakai having to go against everything he knows and was taught growing up. His relationship with his uncle is very well built and serves as a great contrast, as Jin is changing into the ghost, and his Honorable uncle who taught him everything he knows has to essentially watch him turn into everything he told him not to be.

    The only real downsides this game has aren’t very big ones. The AI can be pretty dumb, but not dumb enough that either style of combat is made to be not fun. The animations can be a little sloppy sometimes, and once you are fully upgraded for stealth, the assassination animations really lack any variety. The lip sync in cut scenes is really sloppy, and the cutscenes in general (specifically outside of the main story) really lack any inspiration or interesting movement by the character models, they mostly just are standing there doing gestures at each other, which isn’t a big deal except that the side quest they showed at E3 2018 was much more interesting than any other side quest cut scene in the game.

    This has to be one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. It doesn’t quite have the same polish of games like RDR2 or TLoU, or even GoW, but at the end of the day it’s just fun to play. From the combat, to walking around the world following birds and foxes, the moment to moment gameplay is always immersive and fun. I fully recommend this game to anyone who enjoys open world actions games.    … Expand

    Good graphics, smooth gameplay, interesting characters and cool story. These are one of the many strengths of Gohst of Tsushima, in addition to the open world that is very detailed, especially the grass of the game. The negative points are that some bugs and textures on the floor are not very beautiful. But overall Gohst of Tsushima is an excellent game.

The wonderfully rendered textures and Animations give the game its unique charm that captivates the audience to show the true beauty of Tsushima Island... On my journey across the Tsutsu and Hiyoshi areas of the Izuhara region, I spent HOURS in the games photo mode, Whilst completing main quests and side missions! The audio is very well done, Played best with headphones of course! The music fits well with the action and the exploration, As well as cutscenes too! Dramatic when in combat, And soothing when exploring! And the NPC diolog is at it's highest quality! To save the best for last, Combat! The combat in Ghost of Tsushima is amazing... The free-flowing swordplay displayed is exceptional! I was able to use Bows, Kunai, and even sticky bombs too! While mixing in some stealth.

    A few cons..The unlimited arrows the enemy archers have at thier disposal are just appalling! It would be cool to see them run out of arrows to pick out some more, to add realism! And there are a few small texture issues as well.. But that's because I'm not using a PS4 PRO. in conclusion, Ghost of Tsushima is worth EVERY PENNY as the game delivers exceptional quality, Combat and Immersion! The character progression and customization is the cherry on top in this action packed open world game!    … Expand

    Great graphics and art direction, good narrative, combat is amazing and exploration will just make you want to do more photo mode. Speaking of it, photo mode is the best in game and i made a lot of shots and still finding more creative shots to do.

    Exploration is the key of the game, Navigating Tsushima itself is fantastic with the gust of wind telling you where to go, foxes showing you shrines and golden birds to show you points of interest.

    Combat is great and you have variety of stances and weapons on your arsenal.
    Narrative is great and you get to know more of Jin Sakai’s story about following his strict code or find other ways to beat the Mongolians.

    Customization is unique because of each armor has their own abilities and perks and you can pick your own headband and masks that you can require by doing missions or exploring the world.

    Lots of activities there like composing Haiku, relaxing in onsen, visiting shrines of Inari and mountains, cutting down bamboos and plenty more.

    Side missions are the best like The Witcher 3 which tells a small tale of that character in the certain mission and you’ll know their character development and story throughout the game.

    Narrative on the other hand is really good and knowing about Jin's past and has to follow the strict Samurai code and you'll know more of his character development for his people and his trusted allies.

    Cons:
    Stealth is pretty okay with me but the AI can be dumb at sometime like they’re trying to find you but you simply in the tent and they don’t bother checking it in there.

    Camera can be your enemy as well. Because big objects can also block your view and it can be distracting since you’re facing a bunch of enemies,

    Mission design can be repetitive and also tedious like the tailing missions and those auto restart the mission if you get detected, its like back in the early 2010s.

    The villain itself is somewhat interesting since he has his motives but he's like Bowser since he'll just hop on another castle while you're trying to get him and you got this report that he rode there.

    Overall its a great experience to try out a modern samurai game and its either you can buy it now or wait for it on sale and its about 40gb it wont take up that much space.    … Expand

Since the Witcher 3 I have not been this pleased by an open world game. Which brings me to my next point: side quests. Just like W3 these events feel like they matter, and the rewards are worth my time. One aspect I really enjoyed was the incorporation of haiku composition as a means to earn a piece of equipment, these events feel wholesome and deeply satisfying. Lastly I would say that although the stealth element is more of the same as you would see in AC or MGS, this does not detract from the game but adds it to the realm of greats, in my opinion it never gets old. Combat is fluid and thrilling. The stance mechanic is a fun game of rock paper scissors that kept me on my toes and made character progression interesting. Excellent game and definitely worth my money.… Expand

    TLDR: Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most beautiful visually and enjoyable gameplay-wise open world games that I played in my life. Read firuther for the details.

    Now, I will say right away that for me "10/10" is not a "perfect" game. For me, it means a game that pushes the boundaries of the genre, basically read it as "as good as it gets" score. The reason is - I haven't once in my    TLDR: Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most beautiful visually and enjoyable gameplay-wise open world games that I played in my life.

    Now, I will say right away that for me "10/10" is not a "perfect" game. For me, it means a game that pushes the boundaries of the genre, basically read it as "as good as it gets" score. The reason is - I haven't once in my life played a game that could be called Perfect, and I don't expect to, but that's not a reason to never give a game a 10.

    First, let's adress the least controvercial thing: the graphics. GOT is the most visually stunning game that I EVER saw with my own two eyes. Being a software engineer that works with graphics, I am blown away by how they could achieve that on a PS4 hardware. I have no idea if it's technically the best, but VISUALLY, in terms of art direction and how the engine realizes that - it's THE most beautiful games that I've played EVER. It's a masterpiece.
    I will share one fact to just demonstrate how good it is. This is the first game that I'm actually making screenshots for several times a day. I never felt the need in any game before. Here, these screenshots look like works of art, and you see beautiful scenery on every corner IN GAME.

    Now, onto gameplay. It's good.
    It's a bog-standard open world game, with camps to conquer, collectables to find and climbing puzzles (shrines) to clear. It's nothing special, but don't get me wrong - while it doesn't make any innovation - it is incredibly well-made. It is really enjoyable and not frustrating at all to chase the side activities.
    The combat system makes it all the better. This is again a first for me - I actually find myself stopping for every randomly-spawned bandits on the road to kill them, because I enjoy the combat so much. I will note here, however, that the game is extremely easy, especially if you use ghost tools in combat. It's outright TOO easy. For me, that's not a huge deal, but I could see it being a problem for others. Personally, I simply enjoy it for what it is, but I wish there was a higher difficulty settings and that ghost tools were useful, but not so overpowered.

    Onto the story.
    I read several reviews that criticized the story for several things. One review mentioned that all the characters are very serious and there's no comic reliefs save for one. They feel like the same character, the review said. The other review mentioned that the story is nothing special.
    And it's all very close to truth. But I don't think that it's a detriment here - but that it's actually good.
    The story is your standard "I will destroy enemy forces that invaded my home". It doesn't give you any WOW-moments, and it's not a narration that you will remember for it's engaging plot twists and amazing plot devices. But it is a very solid "serious" story that gives you the goal without any moralizing or cringe moments. I find so often in games that in order to entertain the player they start to make silly jokes and make you do silly things that are fun but unrealistic. Assassin's Creed, for instance, has A TON of cringe moments where you feel like it's made for under-10 kids. In addition, games like virtue-signalling nowadays, and start including "gender equality" or stuff like that, as well as tons of morals about value of friendship and being nice to each other...
    None of that here. You're a samurai, you care for your people. There are mongols that are Bad. Go kill. End of story.
    And really, it's a breath of fresh air. It doesn't need anything more, because the core gameplay is so enjoyable that the story doesn't need to do anything but just give you a direction to go to.

    Onto the Characters. I thought they're good too.
    Again, they're criticized for being too serious. But that's a good thing, because they fit the world extremely well. I don't think they are the same at all, but they ARE indeed all no-nonsence (except one). It makes total sense in a state of war, and it serves to keep the tone of the world consistent.
    Nowadays in games, studios often make each next character very distinct, giving them over-the-top traits, personalities, and carricature appearances. There's nothing wrong with that, but I feel that there's merit in having a realistic story with real-looking people too.

    Finally, I'll address the tone. The world of Tsushima is rather dark, and it doesn't shy away from realities of war. People are tortured, women are kidnapped, peasants are starving, and the roads are littered with corpses lynched by mongols or murdered by bandits. But all of this drama is a backdrop. The hero and the player remain separated from that, and it doesn't make the game feel depressive. Quite on the contrary - everywhere Jin goes, he gets to make everything a bit better for the people, and it feels nice.

    In conclusion, this is a definite MUST-BUY game on PS4.
    For me, this is a GOTY so far. We'll see how Cyberpunk goes.    … Expand

The camera can be a bit finicky at times, like climbing, it also doesn't have a lock of so you have to manually aim Jin at the enemies. And the guiding wind is a bit tricky when you are clearing farms. I wander around for 5-10 minutes trying to find the last hostage. I might just be a bit stupid also. Buy this game.

The characters are a bit dull, but the story is still very entertaining, it’s very similar to older samurai movies. The open world is designed wonderfully, and everything looks beautiful, and while exploring the already amazing world, a golden bird may fly down and guide you to an undiscovered location. The game provides a long 30 hour base game, with plenty of other content mixed in for a longer and much more entertaining experience. There are also plenty of tools to be used for stealth and combat that evens the odds in unfair situations, for example, sticky bombs will effect every enemy in a close area perfect for if your overwhelmed, bows are great for stealth and dealing with the stronger enemy’s from a far distance, and the blow dart will one shot any enemy unless you hit a shield.

    TLDR: The game is a beautiful experience, if what you have seen so far doesn't sell you on it, I don't know what will. Mechanically, it is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in a long time. The narrative effectively propels you to the end but it won't break the mold. It could use a few tweaks here and there but overall, it is definitely worth the price of entry.

    Graphics:    TLDR: The game is a beautiful experience, if what you have seen so far doesn't sell you on it, I don't know what will. Mechanically, it is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in a long time. The narrative effectively propels you to the end but it won't break the mold. It could use a few tweaks here and there but overall, it is definitely worth the price of entry.

    Graphics: Visually, this game is stunning. Not so much because of graphical fidelity (it's good but not mindblowing) but the style, the art direction that this game goes for... they nailed it. It's not too often i find myself compelled to actively search for reasons to use photo modes to get that perfect screenshot. The environments, the lighting, the effects are all fantastic. My only gripe on this aspect is I wish the photo mode had more options to play around with.

    Game Play: With regards to how it plays mechanically, is -nearly- flawless. There are some minor tweaks it could use in input registration in my opinion. Multiple times i found myself unable to attack or block due to a weird bug where I would try to block, it would do the animation but it wouldn't actually block an incoming attack. Thankfully it only happened a handful of times. Beyond that, the combat is some of the most fun I have had in a game in a long time. Kills, whether through ghost style or samurai style were just so satisfying. The animations, the flow, even minor effects such as directional blood splatter just immersed me in each moment. Exploration is fantastic, apart from graphics, it is often a rewarding experience to run off the beaten path. The game play loop, however, while a lot of fun is not groundbreaking and can start to feel a bit tedious. Even though combat is phenomenal, the random encounters get stale fairly quickly. Traversal is similar to the Assassin's Creed games albeit in a slightly more limited fashion. You can climb most things but you don't quite have the freedom in where you can climb a building or cliffside. Other than that, it is on point. I did not experience any issues beyond the occasional leap to my death when trying to step off a ledge onto a lower one.

    Narrative: The story is good, it's not amazing though. The pacing was fine, the structuring was good. It just wasn't super compelling for me. It does have it's moments though. Nothing quite like a good samurai duel that puts you on the edge of your seat. The character's were fleshed out decently for a open world adventure but I would have liked more of it. The voice acting for the most part was pretty good, though it was a bit unusual having the English dub be the more appealing choice due to animation sync. Not that it's a bad thing, just weird. There was some moments though that kind of broke immersion in that a character would say or act one way in a cutscene but then a different way outside of it that just took me out of the moment. Or when a character would repeat something the main character just said like they didn't just hear it two seconds before. Overall, the narrative gets the job done but it could have used some more polish, if for nothing else but continuity.    … Expand

    Great game beautiful graphics and music short game but it's worth it story it's great to get behind and good to follow dark story on war and fight to protect your people even if that means turning your back on family and being hated

    Fantastic game. Graphics are the best I've seen on PS4, they edge out UC 4 imo. Combat is quite buttery, a must play.

    I just finished playing and think that it was a worthy journey. This was one of the best games I have had the opportunity to play since Days Gone. The story was interesting and as your journey progressed how I played evolved with my choices and I hope there will be some DLC in the future.

    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.
