    Best Game On This Earth. It Is a Master Piece. A few minor glitches but nothing serious

    I haven't felt like I've gotten my money's worth out of a game in a long time, until now. This game is GORGEOUS and makes you feel like an absolute badass. The story is amazing and the optimization options are fantastic.

"Ghost of Tsushima takes the best elements of Assassins Creed and Far Cry, throws in some of the signature Sucker Punch flair that made Infamous so successful and ends up being something that is both familiar and unique at the same time. The stealth elements are not the strongest, and aside from the missions requiring stealth, I almost always took the more forward approach to combat, but the freedom to DO that is part of what makes the game so good.

And here we are in 2020 and this might mark my favorite game to date. Now that’s not for lack of it actually being a great game. If it wasn’t rewarding and fun to play, if the story, lack of hud, and wonderfully orchestrated events and combat didn’t come together so amazingly I would be ripping my controller in half from a life time of anticipation ending in disappointment but luckily my controllers are safe as this is an amazing game to play and everything I ever dreamed. It’s fun, it’s difficult at times, it’s rewarding, it’s sad, it’s a roller coast that just keeps going! My only suggestion would be to get out there and play it for yourself. Turn off the phone, shut the laptop, and get lost in an amazingly put together journey.… Expand

    After 10 or so hours of this repetitiveness, I began to grow bored. I would actively avoid the random encounters and forts as there really wasn't enough variation to warrant doing something I'd done 20 times before. There aren't really any super compelling stories in the side quests, and the rewards they offer aren't worth the repetition.

    I really did enjoy the waypoint mechanic and lack of a normal hud, it a pretty refreshing change from the majority of games that are beginning to feel cluttered. The main story was pretty good, but the main story quests were also a bit lacking and repetitive by the time I had gotten halfway through act 2.    … Expand

    It's exactly what I wanted: Assassin's Creed set in feudal Japan. It's escapist and it's a power fantasy - perfect for these difficult times. And unlike another recent Sony exclusive, it doesn't push some gloomy political or social justice message on the gamer - just a fun and well-polished experience with beautiful graphics and sound design.

    Me fascinó la ambinetacion del Japón feudal, los estilos de combates y técnicas poco honorables. Me recordó a las antiguas peliculas de samurais. Y justamente es en lo que mas destaca este juego.

    It is basically designed like this:
    A Main Story line
    Lots of side-missions.
    Even more content of rinse and repeat collectibles. Shrines, swords to collect, haiku poem writing, enemy camps to liberate and other nonsense. Does it sound familiar?

    It starts off promising. The game guides you effortlessly trough the game mechanics and off you go.
    The story is ok, but was rather boring by Act III.
    Level design is gorgeous with lovely colours and large flowerfields that pops out on your TV. All is blissfull trough act I to II. But when you hit Act 3 it gets rather depressing.
    The controls are decent. Very similar to AC series. Combat demands some good timing and you gain more moves and weapons as you go.

    It is a long game if you decide to do side quest and other chores on the side. By act III i was tired, i played less and less intervals. All the repetition wore me down. The enthusiasm faded out and the game became a chore. The missions on both main and optional struggles to keep it varied. Just the same go from A to B, Kill a bunch of enemies and speak to someone. (sigh!) The End. Gain Exp.. move on.

    Some technical negative sides:
    Combat works ok in open areas, but once you are in cramped spaces, it becomes hard to pay attention as the camera struggles to find a good viewpoint for you leaving you blind in the heat of the moment.
    Stealth i found wonky, as the enemies are positioned in either groups or they spot you too quick. It felt broken and you just did not bother doing it nice and quiet in the end unless the mission required you to remain unseen.

    Other than that, the game fails to bring a complete package to keep one exciting to the very end. It has all the classic trademark of open-world game failures. So far "only" Rockstar can do it proper. Maybe Watch Dogs 2 was ok as well, at least it kept the story varied.

    Other than that. It´s huge, pretty, but in the end, a dull outing. Being a Samurai game give it no excuses to slip away from a bad score.
    Ubisoft is probably mad now as they can´t make a Shogun based Assassins Creed. Oh well.    … Expand

    The graphics and art style are stunning!. I mean who knew PS4 (in my case a pro) could display such astonishing graphics. I found myself wondering around and stopping at locations to just enjoy the soothing visuals. I seldom take photos in games but GOT has almost made me a photo addict helped by the simple process of clicking right to access the photo mode.
    When Sucke Punch announced there will not be waypoints to the objective I got worried but I can say that the natural system of using wind and animals to guide you to where yo need to go works really well.
    I really cannot stress out how enjoyable the game is. It can become a little repetitive and some of the side missions may feel more like a filler but I found myself spending hours playing this game an, often, finding it difficult to stop playing.

    Simply amazing. Exceeded all my expectations and removed the sour taste of disappointment that TLOU 2 left in my mouth. Worthy swan song to PS4 era. Sucker Punch just nailed it.

    Graphics: 10/10, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Easily in the Top 5. Story: 9.5/10. It is amazing. The ending is absolutely well done and the pacing is great. Made me tear up at the end.    Simply amazing. Exceeded all my expectations and removed the sour taste of disappointment that TLOU 2 left in my mouth. Worthy swan song to PS4 era.

    Story: 9.5/10. It is amazing. The ending is absolutely well done and the pacing is great. Made me tear up at the end. Gameplay: 9.5/10, combat is almost perfect. Extremely satisfying, challenging and with a lot of depth. I only removed the 0.5 points because of the clunky camera in closed areas and no lock-on system to counter that (like in Soulsborne). Music/Audio/Soundtrack: 9/10, simply amazing.

    Open World/Side Quests: 9/10. Open World feels alive, is huge (~30 km square) yet does NOT feel empty AT ALL with the frequent random encounters and overall the things to do. No minimap and wind guidance mechanic really helps to get lost in the world and enjoy the never ending beautiful scenery. It encourages and rewards exploration. Side quests are great. Although no Witcher 3 level, it is pretty damn close and each side quest have their own unique stories and are enjoyable. “Big” side quests (called Mythic Tales) are the best ones. They have their own entire plot and almost all of them have a great boss battle at the end and the rewards are amazing and totally worth your time. Fun factor: 10/10, forget the story, forget the graphics, game is just extremely fun to mess around, explore the world, fight enemies and etc. The most enjoyable game I have played all year and I have played TLOU2, FFVIIR, Doom: Eternal, Animal Crossing and etc.

    Overall: 9.5/10, my personal GOTY (the only game remaining that can even come close is Cyberpunk). I can see it being in my Top 10 games of all time just because of the quality open world, gameplay and combat alone. Other things are just icing on the top.

    P.S.: I gave the game 9.5 but rated 10/10 because after finishing the game and currently going for 100% completion and platinum, I personally think any less than 9.5 is not doing this game justice.    … Expand

It has a story that engages you, combat that is unrivaled, and graphics that look like a next-gen title.

    The more I played the more and more I fell in love with the feel and atmosphere this game offers. It has slower methodical pace, like people in feudal Japan would have lived, and yet there are excitement and wonder around every corner. This is the first open-world game I have played in a while where I felt like the side missions actually added to and complimented everything you are trying to accomplish in the game. I felt connected not only to the characters, but also the world they lived in . Combat is so smooth and easy to do, but takes time and effort to master, especially in the later stages and higher difficulty settings. The standoff system grows with you as enemies try to fake you out to get you to jump to soon, what a touch.

    It is of course not without it's flaws. A lack of a lock-on system in combat is not game-breaking, yet I sometimes found myself struggling to hit the person I wanted in larger crowds of enemies. The enemy AI in the game for stealth is at times laughable....like standing up from the tall grass, in front of an enemy, using my bow to kill his partner and then ducking back in the grass, and he loses track of me instantly like I was never there. I really wanted there to be a choice system like other sucker punch games, and I can see why they might want to do something different, but I think it really would have added to the way you play the game...as your legend grows.

    This game is easily the best game I have played in the last two years and only comes in a close second to God of War for best PS4 exclusive ever. I really hope that this is not a one-off game, as there is so much they can do with sequels in this games. PS4 can end its cycle with honor after this wonderful journey.

    I made this account on metacritic just to rate this Truly amazing game, first off this game looks stunning, the colors and lighting are a beauty Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before in a video game, the sun reflecting off the water and the sand, and the grass as it waves around, the wind blowing the grass and the trees in the direction in which it’s going is just jaw dropping, Second offI made this account on metacritic just to rate this Truly amazing game, first off this game looks stunning, the colors and lighting are a beauty Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before in a video game, the sun reflecting off the water and the sand, and the grass as it waves around, the wind blowing the grass and the trees in the direction in which it’s going is just jaw dropping, Second off the combat is amazing, very fluid and dramatic, the different stances to combat different enemies, multiple techniques you can unlock and use to become a better swordsman make the game very fun, third off the side quest are great, I personally didn’t play much of the side quest during my playthrough, here and there I did some, but I wanted to have some stuff left to do after completing the main story, fourth off and finale the main story for this game is spectacular, Sucker Punch does an amazing job of making you the player, feel love for the characters and story, the story will keep you invested and wanting to come back and play more, the soundtrack of game is beautifully written and composed and adds great emotion and feeling To the overall game, the voice acting is also great, although I wanted to play the game in Japanese dub I didn’t because I wasn’t a fan of the lip sync looking off, I have to say the American voice acting is really well done although it is in English the voices have an Asian accent Which doesn’t pull away from the immersion, either way both American and Japanese are good options and it’s really up to the player to choose which one they like. Lastly I wanted to say that I extremely recommend Ghost of Tsushima if you really interested definitely give it a shot and I assure you that you will love it!!!… Expand

    However I think the world is also a bit too littered with "optional" stuff. I mean come on, 50 fox dens. Over 50 mongol camps/stronghols. I mean, no one is going to enjoy doing these things 50 times, or the other things that you have to do over and over and over again. This is a bit too Ubisoft-style for me. Other games like Horizon only makes you do each thing a very limited amount of times which prevents you from noticing any repetitiveness.

    The combat system is nice except for the fact that there is no targeting system which can be a real pain in tight areas, especially indoors. Sometimes the character just refuses to attack the enemy I want which has gotten me killed more than once. Also when 5+ enemies gang up on you, the camera doesn't really help you but makes things worse.

    My main problem with the game is its repetitiveness. Basically the only enemy type is humans (Mongolians) and basically every quest involves killing a bunch of them, or rescuing someone without being detected which gets really old after 10+ hours. The repetitive quest design is what really lowers the score for me, combined with the fact that the main story leves a lot to be desired. The game would have benefited from more set-pieces and scripted sequences to break up the repetitivness (the mission where you use the "arrow cannon" to sink ships is a good example). Games like The Witcher 3, Horizon and God of War does a much better job and beat this one by far.    … Expand

    Thing is, if this was released a few years ago, I would’ve given it a 10. Some of it’s features and mechanics seem outdated, such as the overly-simple stealth & it’s extremely exploitable and predictable during stealth. I’m a stealthy boi, and this is the first game with a stealth option that I chose to go for the combat route instead. A few others are the cutscene-to-gameplay transitions, some conversation cutscenes resemble the lifelessness and stiffness of the ones in AC: Odyssey, and some missions feel to much like a to-do list that I just have to keep ticking off boxes.

    Overall, I highly recommend this game. It’s a lot of fun, it let’s you live out your samurai dreams, and it’s a strong end to the PS4 generation, but nothing really groundbreaking.    … 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.
