    This game is phenomenal. Sucker Punch has made a world that’s so alive unlike a lot of open world games. There’s not one thing I don’t love doing whether it be climbing shrines, following foxes and birds, doing bamboo strikes, and every single side quest I come across. I couldn’t put this game down.

The writing for this game is surprisingly good as well. Thsnk you sucker punch. I love this game!!!… Expand

    Exceeded expectations. Hopefully SP decides to do more open world RPGS after this because this game was amazing. Definitely my Goty, depending on how well Cyberpunk does.

    Look here, this is the best samurai game I have ever played. The story keeps you on your feet. The gameplay is far from boring. It is challenging. The characters feel authentic. The atmosphere of the game is incredibly detailed and all around beautiful. It is a challenging yet relaxing game.

Sucker Punch in my opinion has truly enhanced open world exploration with the much welcomed addition of the guiding wind which allows for total immersion and appreciation of scenery. 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

Graphically, Ghost of Tsushima looks AMAZING! 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

    This is my first review in metacritic and I decided to voice out my opinion because I want more games like Ghost of Tsushima, and I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach by SP. I finished the main story, and already GoT is right there on top of my list of best games, with God of War, Spiderman and Horizon Zero dawn.

    My score is based on following: 1.

I finished the main story, and already GoT is right there on top of my list of best games, with God of War, Spiderman and Horizon Zero dawn.

    My score is based on following:

    1. Artistic direction and fantastic visuals, which really bring the feeling of the history. I think in general, artists are given far less credit than they deserve, and here I commend SP for forstering their talent in arts.
    2. Excellent gameplay and combat mechanics, which are brought in at suitable pace.
    3. A believable story, and solid structure. The game manages to capture the player at the very benginning so well, so you feel that you are proceeding with a good pace. Compared to say Death stranding, GoT is reallly good at the beginning. I have just gotten frustrated with the DS mechanics which are overly complicated.

    So there it is, a solid 10 for the game that tops my list of games in this console generation.    … Expand

I had recently got the platinum in the game and honestly felt that time was well beyond worth spending the last days. It truly surprised me in the most wonderful way when you had so much combinations of combat and character gear customization. What amazes me is the game pacing and fun due to many aspects mentioned above - combat and exploration. The story itself is fantastic and not to be forgotten, it really held up my attention more than I anticipated and that is just wonderful especially when you get distracted in open world games.

The characters fit perfectly into the the world; they're believable and aren't presented like pawns fighting for the writer's agenda. Gameplay is fun, but some might care for something more challenging. It becomes easy even on hard mode once your character is upgraded. However the boss fights still can be tough and take a few tries. A new difficulty mode in the future would be excellent. The stealth is fun, it isn't on the level of MGSV but holds water. Perhaps one of the most beautiful games on the PS4, Ghosts of Tsushima doesn't do anything revolutionary but what it does do, it does with grace and excellence. I love the game!… Expand

    Absolute legend of a game. The exploring segment was highly organic with the fox and the bird guiding me so I keep doing side quests instead of main ones because of that.

    Sony and SP have done something truly special with Ghosts of Tsushima. This game shows that User and Critics don't have the same view as to which games deserve a 10 out of 10 rating , Ghost is not doing anything new but it's pushing the limit as to what the current generation ( PS4) can do and is fun to play.

    Before I say anything I want to preface that while this game doesnt exactly bring anything ground breakingly new to the table it shines with the polish of its foundation.

    Graphics
    GoS has got to be one of the most beautiful games I've played on console period. This game gives PC games a run for their money as many times a session I found myself just exploring the vast landscapes of 13th Century Japan just to take in the beauty of the world crafted by Sucker Punch Games. Whether it be surveying the damage caused by the Mongol Invaders, to the calm rocky beach shores of Japan, to the beautiful fields of flowers packed with color, this is one of the only few games that I have played where I sometimes have to stop in-game to take in the scenery of it all and even though there is fast travel I found myself not using it due to the beauty of the island. They did a really magnificent job with the world and atmosphere of this game and its actually astonishing how they managed to do it on a console at the end of its Generation. The media tools included in the Photo Mode are also exquisite and I already have tons of screenshots saved using all the options included within it.

    Combat
    There are 2 ways to play - Samurai or Ghost.

    Ghost is more catered towards Assassins Creed type of Gameplay where you can dispose of enemies with ease by assassinating them using all the assassins tools(smoke bombs, firecrackers, bombs, etc) at your disposal. This makes the game feel very easy and it makes clearing outposts a breeze.

    Samurai is my preferred way to play the game as it makes the game and combat more challanging. I would suggest playing on Hard as this makes playing this way feel more rewarding. Playing as a Samurai means fighting with honor and honor includes fighting your oppenent in a fair fight.....even if the odds seem unfavorable. You are able to challenge enemies to a standoff where you have to time your strike to slash your opponent in one hit(the number of opponents can increase with a certain item(s) later on in the game). There are different types of Stances which are all used to help you with certain types of enemies which actually do make a difference during combat. You can't just spam during combat if you play on the harder difficulty as you will be punished with 1 to 3 hits so patience is key. There is your usual parrying, blocking, and dodging mixed with unblockable attacks but it keeps you on your toes as you can be overwhelmed very easily when you are surrounded by enemies.

    There are also different armors and charms you can get throught the game which can give you stat boosts, to extra resources when gathering, or even just some extra consumables; whatever playstyle you want to play Ghost of Tsushima has you covered.

    Music
    The music in this game is amazing and it really helps the atmosphere take that step to the next level. Hearing the pounding of the Taiko drums whilst im surrounded by Mongols makes you really feel like a Samurai with the pounding only getting more intense with each opponent takedown. The game had 2 Composers working on the Soundtrack and boy does it show. The sound layering used in this game is second to none and it really gives the world more life even during the invasion.

    Story
    You play as Jin Sakai of Clan Sakai as the Mongols invade your homeland of Tsushima. Jin must gather his allies while picking up new techniques along the way to defeat the Mongols, but these new techniques cause conflict within Jin. What lengths will Jin go in order to protect his homeland and the people who cant defend themselves? The internal struggle between honor and survival is very present throught the game and what is a Samurai if without honor?

    The characters were very enjoyable and believeable as I found myself wanting to do the next mission in each of the Characters side quests to find out more about them. The effects that war and loss have on people can truly lead them down a path of twists and turns that turn them into something they dont recongnize when they look in the mirror and this game keeps me reminded of the unpredictability of human nature.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a MUST play if you ask me. This game takes every element and aspect of open worlds games and polishes it till its shining like its brand new while blending it together with one of, if not, the most beautiful open worlds there is to date and also adding a technical combat system on-top really makes you feel like a Seasoned Samurai Warrior exploring the world of Japan under Siege, taking in the lush beauty of it all but staying on your toes as you never know what situation will present itself next. Ghost of Tsushima is a Masterpiece and kudos to Sucker Punch Games for sending off the PS4 right and leaving a better taste in my mouth to end off the consoles lifespan.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly something! I wasn't expecting less. The world is art is completely beautiful, I was oftenly stopping by beautiful landscapes to take LOOOTS of pictures. And the soundtrack is just fit and pleasant to hear during combats and key scenes and even world exploring and discovering. The combat starts kinda simple, but as soon as you advance and get new Postures and new items it becomes harder and needs more and more skills, the enemies get stronger along you too, and I love how the game keeps adding skills and items to the gameplay until the very end and how these skills and items actually fit the plot.

    The plot is a 10/10 there's no unlogical decisions, no high schooler morals, no cringy stuff, just how a samurai breaks his code to protect his ppl in the most effective way saving the most posible lives despite the fact of losing his "honor" and his place as a Samurai.

    SP did it big this time, cuz we all know they got some of the most underrated yet amazing games (a.k.a. inFamous series), but Ghost Of Tsushima won't be ever underrated that im sure!    … 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.
