    I love this game so much. It's exactly what 2020 needed. The art direction, gameplay and story are amazingly blended together. Ghost is such a great example of open world done right. It's also a surprisingly emotional tale from Act 2 and onwards. Please play it. Sucker Punch did a wonderful job.

    Amazing world, soundtracks, story, characters and feels. Such a masterpiece game!!! So proud to be fan of SP studios. They created a work of art. Also, Jin Sakai is the one of the best protaganist in a video game. I would love to see a sequel!! This is really a PS4’s swansong!!

The world is vibrant, the map is gigantic, the story is compelling and unlike certain other recent titles, the game does not try to actively guilt-trip you for the bad things it requires you to do - instead, it explores the player character's struggles to reconcile those (necessary) actions with the man he thought he was and the man he wants to become.

    The combat is fluid and feels as good to use as it looks on screen. Your combat utility is also impressive, giving you options tailored to specific enemy types, multiple secondary items/weapons, a robust parrying system, and more. Whilst it's likely to draw comparisons with Sekiro or Nioh, in truth it's not really like either of those games.

    The game is technically outstanding as well - maintaining a stable framerate on PS4 Pro hardware in "framerate" mode, and even performing admirably on base PS4 systems. How they've achieved this is anyone's guess - the level of detail in the terrain, the texture quality, and the considerable draw distance are all staggering to behold.

    There is no struggle for things to do ingame - you can seek out shinto shrines for charms, bamboo-cutting for extra resolve, inari shrines for charm slots, haiku locations for cosmetic items, and hot springs for extra health. There are numerous sidequests which are encountered either organically whilst exploring, or by speaking to people in hubs for "rumoured locations". Engaging in open-world combat is also an option thanks to the roaming bands of Mongols and Bandits you find. And again, the combat feels so good to engage in that you will find yourself actively seeking out battles just to experience it.

    As far as twilight-era titles for the PS4 go, this game has ticked all the boxes and is close to being a necessary purchase. It has earned its 10 proudly.

From the formulaic and typically repeated open-world activities and quest design, I feel this game wasted it’s potential making itself be an open world. It does make improvements on the navigation systems of open-world games, making waypoints be less intrusive and more involved in the environments, but that novelty wore off quite early for me. It also has a pretty flat main story led by unconvincing performances, animations, cinematics, and cliche dialogue that takes itself too seriously. Sadly, even a key part of the story, which is the Ghost stealth, was also weak and outdated. Despite these major flaws though, the game was mostly enjoyable due to it’s great samurai duels, epic battles, and pretty world. [Link omitted per site rules.]… Expand

    I've now finished and platinumed the game. While I was quite positive at first my opinion just kept dropping especially towards the end.

While I was quite positive at first my opinion just kept dropping especially towards the end.

    Pros:
    Customization is excellent. There are a decent number of armor sets which when upgraded change visually. There are additional dyes as well to change the color
    The combat is fun
    Exploration is great. I enjoy traveling around and finding foxes and writing haikus

    Cons:
    The story is very basic and quite predictable. I'm a good guy and the mongols are the bad guys.
    There were also several moments which felt nonsensical to me.
    Jin is a weak protagonist. I love that he's voiced by zoro but he's just such a dull character.
    The missions are extremely samey. I go somewhere and I kill a bunch of dudes... the lack of variety is a real chore.
    The game is unpolished in several areas. My hair clips through my armor set, my feet clip through rocks when I'm jumping sometimes as well. I also jumped inside of two rocks and one of them propelled me into the sky.
    The enemy AI is pretty bad. They stop searching for you almost immediately and often don't notice dead bodies nearby.
    The stealth really isn't great either. It just feels like a waste of time to sneak around when i can challenge everyone and cut them down in a quarter of the time.
    Allies are pretty useless in battle and I hate they can get knocked down and if you don't revive them in time it's a mission fail.
    They have trailing missions which always suck and there are some forced stealth missions like 'silent death' which just feel like a hassle.
    It's lacking in originality. It's very much an assassin's creed horizon zero dawn game which is fine but I always appreciate it when a game takes some risks.

    Overall it's a decent game but i'm a bit baffled as to why it's gotten such a positive reception. I assume as people play more of the game its flaws will become more and more apparent.    … Expand

    My first thought upon playing Ghost of Tsushima is "This is Horizon Zero Dawn goes to Japan." It's a truly beautiful game and in many ways the gameplay is not entirely dissimilar. I've played many games that I enjoyed immensely, but very few that I did not merely enjoy but felt privileged to play. Ghosts of Tsushima is such a game.

    It's a peculiar mixture of action and tranquility    My first thought upon playing Ghost of Tsushima is "This is Horizon Zero Dawn goes to Japan." It's a truly beautiful game and in many ways the gameplay is not entirely dissimilar. I've played many games that I enjoyed immensely, but very few that I did not merely enjoy but felt privileged to play. Ghosts of Tsushima is such a game.

    It's a peculiar mixture of action and tranquility and often moral ambiguity and in many cases I found that I respected my foes -whom I of course defeated- as much as I respected my friends. And yet there's a certain almost Dark Souls feel about it. Tsushima is anything but empty but riding across the countryside between points of interest one feels very much alone. Except for the mongols of course, they pop up everywhere.

    So how do I go about scoring such a game? I have 5 categories scored 0 to 2 and a personal experience modifier that, depending on my experience playing can add or subtract up to 2, save that it can't reduce a score to 0 or raise it to 10.
    0= unacceptable
    1= acceptable
    2= excellent

    So without further ado:

    SOUND: 2. The music fits the game and the scenario perfectly and I was very pleasantly surprised to note that the sound of wind was emanating from my controller.

    GRAPHICS: 2. Horizon Zero Dawn, which I compared Ghost of Tsushima to earlier is a prettier game in my opinion but it's often a close thing. There's an almost identical photographic mode and while HZD is more colorful, Ghost of Tsushima's beauty is more atmospheric and somehow organic.

    STORY: 2. The story, while based on actual events is presumably fictitious but that does not mean it isn't guided by history. I hear that the historical details are shockingly accurate, though of course concessions had to be made for the sake of gameplay. There are twists and times I wondered if I'd (that is, if my character had) done the right thing. I found it very engaging- though of course if you aren't in to the whole samurai thing you may disagree with me.

    CONTROLS: 2. I especially liked the riding mechanics and combat felt extremely polished. Archery, switching stances in the midst of combat, everything works extremely well. From time to time you will duel a powerful opponent one-on-one and this requires proficiency and quick reflexes and mistakes here are punished almost on a dark souls-esque level. But this is by no means unfair- quite the opposite.

    EXECUTION: 1. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as a perfect game. There are plenty of nits to pick here. For instance, often an item will be next to, for instance, a space you can crawl through. The button to interact with both is the same and sometimes I found myself crawling in and out of a tent several times trying to pick something up. This can be a problem when you are trying to stay out of sight and this unfortunate circumstance resulted in at least one cheap death. Some gear has clipping issues (purely cosmetic, but it can be annoying if you managed to pause the action at just the right moment to get that perfect picture but it turns out your arm is sticking through your hat. In some cases during combat, my character or an enemy (or both) was obscured by scenery and I couldn't see who I was and had to shot or attack blind and hope for the best. Fortunately each time it worked out in my favor but it gave me a few scares. None of these are major issues but even so I can't give it a 2.

    Personal Experience: +2. As you may have gathered, I love this game. It might not make game of the year, but it definitely deserves to be a contender. Unfortunately, I can't score it an 11 and this modifier can't take it up to 10... so...

    Final Verdict: 9.5 (which is not but on this scale rounds up to 10)    … Expand

It can be seen that the production team has the humility to learn one of the most outstanding open world games of this generation: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild. However, the repetition of side tasks in the middle and late stages of the game is too high, and the initial exploration fun is much less. However, this aspect is also a common problem in European and American open world games, which requires the overall progress of the industry to promote. In general, this game has drawn a perfect symbol for the entire PS4 generation.

    Ghost of Tsushima feels like a breath of fresh air in the open world sandbox. Filled with the rich history of feudal Japan. The combat Instantly makes the player feel unstoppable.

    For those people who are into Open World games, have a sweet spot for Uncharted Series, Assassins Creed series, Witcher 3 and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild. Then this game is a must buy for you    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima è un vero gioiello come gioco. Il tutto si potrebbero riassumere con il totale è più della somma delle parti, infatti seppur patisce qualche difetto tecnico come i bambu senza fisica e un cavallo sicuramente migliorabile riesce a tenere tutto insieme grazie a un gameplay da paura e un mondo di gioco poetico. È questa la direzione giusta, più giochi meno film, grazie.

In fact, that's what kept me going while other recent releases, I couldn't bring myself to finish because I hated the narrative.

I’ve done more of the side quest and mythic quest then the actual main quest at this point and it’s great.

    This is hands down the best looking game of this generation, besides last of us 2 (don’t get me started on the butthurt fans of that game trying to trash this one...yes I also played it and didn’t hate it but didn’t love it), and you will stop multiple times to go into photo mode and take amazing pictures and just be blown away but the scope and detail of the world.

    Gameplay, in my opinion, is fantastic. This is also playing on hard so the enemies don’t “wait” to attack you like I’ve herd some people say happen. You definitely need to change between all four stances on the fly and utilize all of the equipment you eventually unlock in some situations and I feel like you are constantly rewarded for all play styles.

    Story I have been actually liking a lot. I do believe that Witcher 3, Horizon zero dawn and the last of us (original) all pulled me in more. However, this completely satisfies my samurai dreams of cutting down bad guys easily with effortless ease and has even gotten me to get a bit choked up during certain parts of the game so far.

    Yea there are bugs, I have experience no game breaking ones as of right now but have had a god laugh at some of the small ones.

    Word of advice, if the game is too easy...bump it up to hard. Also if you are having a hard time with the game, equip the charm that allows you to gather more resources as you will quickly find you can max out armor easily and even your bows.

    I’m definitely looking forward to completing the rest of this game and I’m glad to say I owned this day one. May even end up spotting into the top 10 for games I have played tbh!    … Expand

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.    … 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.
