    Great game with no identity politics shoved in our faces and an evil company vice president as the developer! Couldn't have asked for anything better with all of the crappy other games that have come out recently, what a breath of fresh air. and don't worry, there's no golf clubs in this game just dope katana's and tanto's.

Sucker Punch really did a fantastic job and to end the intro of the game is the best for me so far having a blast and i am 45 hours in!!… Expand

    Ghost of TSUSHIMA is a gorgeous video game., there are tons of breathtaking landscapes and places, with an excellent and intriguing story and a very fun battle system. It's noteworthy that the frame rate is very stable, and there are few loading screens (I played this game on a playstation pro console, so I never saw a drop in frame rate or long loading screens).

    All in all, Ghost of Tsushima is a must for every playstation 4 owner. Finally, I also have to remark its photo mode. Sometimes I spent a lot of time taking photographs here and there, since the world that SuckerPunch built is actually very beautiful, its cherry-trees, waterfalls, flowers, animals, everything in this game deserves to be immortalized in a photograph. So, go buy this game, take as much as pictures as you can, enjoy its story and have fun killing mongols in the 9th century.    … Expand

    I reviewed this game for Hindi speaking viewers. And from the get go, the game is the best representation of a Samurai game ever. The ambience, the Japanese dialog, the combat everything is worth buying the game. This is the best PS4 exclusive released this year. However, SP needs to fix the camera angle .

    For those negative reviews, the accounts were created recently which just gave TLOU 10 points. You know who are they and who hire them:)

    The game does not cease to surprise me with new abilities and tools to use against new and adaptive foes, throughout the whole game. It feels as though the possibilities are truly endless.

    This game honestly revived gaming for me and took me back to a time where games were designed and meant to be FUN - a focus that has recently perplexingly become abandoned.

    Are you tired of a mini-map that you end up staring at for 80% of the time instead of looking into the game itself?

    Ghost of Tsushima is the answer to that and much more!
    With almost no HUD, the scenario is your guide! All visual elements that stand out and get your attention, directing your journey and immersing yourself in the perfect Samurai experience. The combat is fluid and you can't rely on lock-on. Seems hard in the beginning, but mastering it gives not only the sensation of achievement but also makes you enjoy your fights even more.
    Jin is a really likeable character that you can understand and sympathise with. The voice acting is on point. All ability points add something new to the gameplay.

    Simply playing the flute in the middle of the grass fields, or paying respect when meeting someone, or cleaning your sword after the killing blow. Such small things, but with such an impact once you put yourself in Jin's perspective.

    I can't find a single complaint about this game. Yes, the camera might be clunky sometimes, but this is but a small problem when compared with all the fun and immersion this game can give you.

    I hope other companies learn from Ghost of Tsushima. This is open world done right.    … Expand

    If you don't want to read the whole thing I can say that in summary I think Ghost of Tsushima is a beautifully crafted masterpiece and a solemn Western bow to all classic Japanese samurai movies.
    If you've ever dreamed of walking in the shoes of one of those legendary samurai swordsmen then this game will provide the closest experience available on the market at the moment.

    I don't want to ignore other great games like Sekiro but that game for instance is so difficult that most of the time you feel like you are barely scraping through the levels. GoT instead can make you feel like a samurai God, stylishly slaying your way through the mongol hordes in visceral bloody combat that feels both slick and impactful, especially when you build up your arsenal with new abilities and fight stances. While I do admit the combat is more 'casual' than the one in Sekiro, I also have to say that to me it's one of the most satisfying melee fighting systems in the open-world genre and has done enough to differentiate itself from the others titles it is compared to (Assasins Creed/Batman Arkham series etc.).

    There is no reason to discuss the graphics as the game speaks for itself - it's just breathtaking for majority of the time and a great way to end the PS4 era with a bang! The HUD is very minimalist and allows for complete immersion during most of the gameplay. There is no level-gating in the game, you can just plow through the main quest if you'd like to but chances are you won't because the world is so compelling to explore!

    Both side and main quests are heavily inspired by The Witcher 3 which is always a great thing in my book. Though it doesn't reach quite the same level of character building and impact overall the story and quests are very good and also heavily inspired by old samurai movies, the game actually inspired me to go back and watch some of the flicks made by Akira Kurosawa and other great Japanese film makers. The game has zero micro-transactions and all of the 'grind' is optional however I've opted to go for getting 100% of the achievements which is going to be my first on the PS4!

    So, for the negatives my 2 biggest gripes are:
    - The camera can be very clumsy at times and you can find yourself without a clear view of your opponent having to guess what they are doing. I do enjoy the fact there is no lock-on system giving a more freestyle feel to the combat but at the same time the camera needs to be On Point for that to work correctly. This is not happening for the majority of the playtime but when it does it is noticeable!
    - There are a variety of small to bigger bugs I've encountered during my time playing, which leaves me with the impression that the game could have used a few more months in the oven before it was released.

    In the end of it all, I feel like the positive aspects of the game so heavily outweigh the negatives that any bad impressions I've had are almost made irrelevant.

    I want to end this review with a bow to Sucker Punch Productions for all the love they put in the project and deeply hope they would do a sequel for the PS5!    … Expand

    Had high hopes for this game and have not been disappointed. The world is amazing, so many times I've been on the way to a mission and get sidetracked by following foxes, birds, side missions or simply just exploring. The fighting is great and makes you feel like a real samurai, nice range of moves with the different stances and ghost (ninja) tools.

I've seen a lot of people say they don't like the stealth but I've enjoyed it, it's been good to be able to switch between stealth and full on frontal attacks, standoffs are also great. I would definitely recommend playing on hard mode for the challenge and realism of battles. The main story I've played so far has been enjoyable too, not much I can complain of so far if I'm honest although I'm still on act 1 as keep getting distracted and exploring. The music in this game is also part of what makes it so great, definitely play with headphones if you haven't got a good sound system set up to get the best of it. Probably my favourite game of the year, will see by the end of the game whether it is up there with the best of the PS4 games.… Expand

    Honestly perfect game for me. The combat is fluid and very fun to master switching the stances and combining combos. Stealth is great too but I do prefer the samurai style but there are parts were you have to use the stealth for a quest but it has good gameplay. The story so far has been great but for spoilers I eint get into that. Definitely recommend

    Story wise, the game needs it's time to get to you. But once I went from the second to the last zone, I couldn't be bothered to do any side activity until I was done with the story; I didn't want to loose the momentum.

    The combat overall is good and satisfying, with lots of possibilities and variations.

    Just because it doesn't necessarily bring something new to the open world genre, it doesn't make it any less good. In fact, it is the most rewarding game in terms of exploration. The amount of items you get just from exploring is crazy. The game, overall, is one of a kind and I can't wait to play it again on PS5.    … Expand

They have grown with their fans from a kids game Sly Cooper on ps2, to teen/young adults game Infamous on ps3, and now an adults game Ghost of Tsushima on ps4. They've made rock solid games time & time again, yet people applaud ubisoft that turned AC into a wanabe Witcher 3 with dlc that lets you fast track your game... yet people applauded ubi & are condeming Sucker Punch... crazy, this game has no fast pass microtransactions, no buying weapons/armor/mounts/resources/xpboosts off a cash store. All that aside, well done Sucker Punch. Don't let the Political Correct community & the uninformed fanboies of AC get you down. You are one of the best developers around & this game PROVES it. Thanks for making a complete single player game in an era of incomplete DLC cash grabs. 10/10

    I was riding my horse and would be like wow the landscape looks so beautiful! It has been a while since a game made me actually stop and just enjoy the landscape. The combat is terrific. I really really enjoyed the combat. You have several ways of fighting and multiple tools to your disposal. I actually used nearly every tool available. Mixing it up was great fun. And you get more badass. It was a great feeling getting stronger unlocking new skills etc. The waypoint system with the gushing wind was a pleasant surprise. I actually really liked it. Same with the foxes en birds. It kept me immersed in the world. Collectables and exploring was nice as well. nothing really new here but its a working formula. I do have to say changing my gear and unlocking new ones was great fun. I am currently working on collecting every single thing possible in the game.

    Last but not least the story. I actually thought the story was very good. Some unexpected things happened which really surprised me. I didn't expect to get so immersed in the story! Cons:
    A bit more interaction with the world would of been nice. Although i really enjoyed the open world every now and then it did feel a bit empty. Even adding a couple more different animals might of made a whole lot of difference (for me at least).

    The dialogue every now and then was very similar. It would have been nice to have more diversity. After a while it annoyed me every now and then. Same with the opening when dueling. It was kinda slow and i would be like c'mon just let me fight.

    These are all very minor cons. Definitely not deal breakers as i rated the game 10/10 still.

    Everything put together i really enjoyed ghost of tsushima. It's definitely worth a 10 in my opinion. I spend many many hours on it and it was great fun.    … 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.
