    Just completed the game today! The open world is absolutely breathtaking and immersive! A must buy if you like Japan/Samurai culture! Definitely a top contender for game of the year!

El combate no es malo pero tampoco es una revolución tanto así que para algunos pudiera ser cansado y muy repetitivo (Tanto el personaje principal Jin, NPC, Bosses). Una gran flaqueza es la posición de la cámara, que puede resultar un tanto molesto con objetos cercanos, que tiende a obstaculizar la visión, especialmente cuando haces enfrentamientos. El mundo es gigantesco y con muchas cosas por descubrir, en verdad, hay muchas cosas que descubrir y paisajes que admirar.
    El sistema de personalización de personaje es sumamente versátil y atractivo, aunque no hay demasiadas armaduras, estas pueden personalizarse en color y en mejoras, que te ayudan a tu día a día en la isla invadida por mongoles. La dificultad del juego es completamente subjetiva, en mi particular caso me resultó bastante sencillo en "DIFICIL", habrá que probarse en la dificultad más alta, dicho sea de paso te mata al primer golpe que recibas.

    Es una experiencia única este juego, ¿Se parece a DS o Sekiro?, la respuesta es No, tiene más parecido a The Witcher y AC. Es un juego que deberías probar y disfrutar por tu propia cuenta, seguramente no te va a decepcionar.    … Expand

    Minha maior critica é o jogo ser pequeno na historia principal, mas tirando isso é sensacional a ilha de Tsushima é uma maravilha aos olhos e para ser explorada. para mim é um 10 por trazer uma historia(jogo) de samurai para 2020, espero que possam ter mais jogos abordando o tema de Samurais ou Japão Feudal.

    It is my personal Game Of The Year

    So much love, so much effort, such a beuatiful open world and a even better story. Every sidequest could be a big point of the mainquest. Loved every second. This Review was wrote down in the credits, with wet eyes..

    This game may be one of the most beautiful and enjoyable titles it's ever been my pleasure to play.

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.

    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!!

    Ghost of tsushima is by far the best looking game on PS4,
    The art direction is unparalleled
    The gameplay is expectional with a few annoying but non gamebreaking glitches.

    at the start of the year I wasn't into the idea of Ghost of tsushima but after playing it for a couple of days, I love it

I am Japanese myself and could not believe how Sucker Punch has done so well of creating the open world set in Kamakura Era of Japan and with such a good story. I do not think any Japanese video game studios could have this. Absolutely loved it.

    I'm not even going to comment on graphics. If you give this game a negative review because of the downgrade, you're a spoiled brat.

    Character building is fantastic, like I said before, Jin will fight the way you build him to fight (specially on hard). And there's plenty of vanity gear.

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

    everything about this game has been handled with love, the visuals are stunning, every location and design is meaningfull and alive.
    the story is impactfull and makes you care about it, about the characters and this world.
    the music, fantastic, the kind of music that gets a spot in your brain even after you finish the game, creating memmories from each note.
    the gameplay is superb, nothing feels tedious, well except waiting a bit for jin to resume moving after finishing an objective but still superb.
    and unlike many other games this one ENDS well, a very great tie up to this amazing story that will leave you wanting to experience this entire thing all over again.
    10/10 would reccomend you all to get this one.    … Expand

    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. Obviamente me hubiera gustado que la historia fuese un poco las larga y más estilos de personalizació tipo rpg.

Ghost of Tsushima is the game I waited a life time to play and thought we’d never get because there were too many samurai-esk games out already. I’ve wanted to explore feudal Japan in shiny clad armor and lerk in the grass with my straw ronin hat for a long time. I have Hokusai art all through my house if tells you anything and can never pass up a epic Japanese tale. This has been a dream of mine. 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

"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.

Some are helping random people in the world, while others follow one side character for 4-9 missions. I do have 2 criticisms though. 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.

    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.
