    The story, while a Japanese feudal period archetype, is presented well, and keeps the players' interest. The characters also allows the players to be invested in them.

    Sucker Punch delivers an amazing 13th century Japan, and one can tell they have great respect for Japanese culture and samurai cinema. The dev also respects the player and the player's time. No unnecessary animations for each item pickup. Loading times are ridiculously short (~5 seconds). Guiding wind and other fox/bird companions are done very creatively, and results in an immersive world.

    Highest recommendation for the game! Now, time for me to go write some haiku...    … Expand

    Played this game for 30hrs so far. I have loved every second of it. This game makes you fell like an unstoppable samurai. Killing groups of mongals making them fear the ghosts. The story gives you goose bumps, no too mention how beautiful the game is. I wish I had a PS4 Pro to experience it in 4K.

    Sucker Punch has absolutely out done themselves. It's not unfair to call Ghost of Tsushima one of the best looking games of the generation, or one of the best looking games Sony's ever put out. It's beautiful in ways that are a bit more subtle than the slightly over done anime style of something like FF7R while still being fantastic.

It's beautiful in ways that are a bit more subtle than the slightly over done anime style of something like FF7R while still being fantastic. I really can't say enough nice things about Ghost of Tsushima. It's a lovingly authentic tribute to chanbara cinema in general, and the works of Akira Kurosawa in particular.

    With a very enjoyable combat system backing an excellent series of stories there's a lot of narrative depth in the game that it feels like gaming hasn't approached in awhile. There's a lack of comic relief in the game compared to other games in it's genre and weight class, but it's absence isn't felt thanks to the down time provided by the many other activities in the game. Going from furious and tense battles against the invading Mongol army or against bandits or wandering ronin, to doing something a bit more peaceful such as composing a haiku, following a fox to a hidden shrine, or just traversing the lovingly crafted world that Sucker Punch has provided is relaxing in a way that I haven't felt since Breath of the Wild, which also very effectively used down time to relax the player.

    With emotional, deeply personal writing, intelligent, insightful characters and some rather solid moral questions to ask both it's protagonist and you the player, it's no surprise that the game was an actual tear jerker at times. That's quality emotional impact right there.

    I don't think it's unfair to say there's something for everyone in Ghost and I have any complaints it's that it doesn't stick around long enough. Here's hoping there's some Witcher 3 style expansion packs. With this game as a crowning gem on the twilight of this generation, I'm very interested to see what the dawn brings (beyond Cyberpunk 2077).

Just a phenomenal game. If you look at the features of the game on paper, it sounds very similar to other open world games, but everything here is just better. It is incredible for a game of this length to manage to keep reaching new levels of cool on a regular basis as the bloody story of revenge plays out and the Ghost unlocks more and more terrifying abilities. Speaking of which, the ability to terrify your enemies during combat is pure joy. I make each death as spectacularly gory as possible just so I can delight in the sight of another Mongol giving out a frightened yelp, throwing down his weapons, and sprinting away full speed into the hills of Tsushima. I love how throughout 90% of the game, there wasn't a single HUD element on-screen, and I rarely got lost. The guiding wind system that blows gusts of wind in the direction of your objective is a stroke of genius. The magical birds and foxes that guide you to collectibles and shrines are delightful. Exploring a world hasn't been this satisfying since Breath of the Wild. I spent hours walking slowly through the mountains of Japan to find secluded hot springs where I could reflect on my journey, or a perch where I could compose a sorrowful haiku. This is a game made with love and you feel that playing it.… Expand

Perhaps best of all - it brilliantly tells a story that is nuanced, culturally appropriate, respectful, and engaging. I love seeing newer media storytelling not stereotype or impose a western framework of character and culture into a foreign land. They nailed giving a feeling of authenticity. For me, the core relationships in this game are extremely memorable which I’ll remember fondly and motivations felt truthful. The combat in this game is so good and has some of the most badass moments in recent gaming. I really enjoyed side quests and all battles, sieges, and duels. Lastly, this game fully utilizes the open world format and its beautiful atmosphere, and landscapes encourage exploration more than any game I’ve played. The disappearing UI design should become a new standard for exploration-based open world games. It was easy to just ride your horse and continuously discover new things throughout the world. Highly recommend! Here’s to more!

Then, I saw the trailers and I was excited but not as much as I would have been for an infamous game. Recently, having played FF7 remake, my bar for GOTY 2020 was pretty. And damn, did this game come close and is not just my second fav game of this year after FF7 remake but one of my top 10 games of this gen. It is a joy to play from start to finish.
    1. Gameplay: This is the best part about this game and well, this matters the most. The game handles everything to perfection. There are two ways to approach most situation: the samurai/honorable way and the ghost way. I prefer ghost way for taking back some posts but the samurai way for most of the story stuff and random encounters. The combat is incredible. From the standoff to the sword and using multiple stances to fight different enemies, it is amazingly satisfying. Every encounter is a joy to play. It is not hard but it is that perfect level of difficulty that you at least have to take each encounter carefully depending on how many and the types of the enemies are there. Stealth approach tho is amazing too. You have to plan out and execute it and if you get it right, you will be able to do this in one go with no problem : and this shows why we need an AC japan game xD.
    2. Story : This might seem weak at the start as you think "typical, simple, meh, heard it, been there, done that" but as you play more and realize what the story is actually about (apart from the obvious quest for revenge), you see why this is a perfect samurai story for gaming. I won't spoil anything as this is a joy to play through but rest assured, give the story a little bit of time and you will love it.
    3. Art style and Graphics: fantastic, just wow. Easily up there in terms of graphics with god of war, red dead 2, TLoU 2, etc and I would say surpassing them all in terms of art style. The game looks amazing with a beautifully realized world and a really well crafted structured map. I would argue that this is an open world game : done right. Everything flows well. Forests, the small houses you encounter, the settlements : all looks authentic and well made. I would say that this game is the most beautiful of the whole generation.
    4. Surprising but HUD: wow, I am surprised how much this pleased me but this game doesn't have any mini map, objective marker when playing. You just see the game and nothing else, an incredible level of immersion. And the way it handles tracking your quests : surprising but really really well done.
    Overall, 10/10. It is one of the few games I have ever thought is a 10/10. Highly recommended to anyone who has a ps4.    … Expand

    This game is legendary. There's nothing like it. I've always wanted to experience being a samurai. Not only is it stunningly beautiful but its intensely hard hitting. The story of Jin standing up for his country while trying to live up to his heritage is an amazing thing to see. The combat is smooth and clean. This game doesnt bring anything new to gaming but it does deliver as promised.

    - Main quests and side quests are great and enjoyable
    - Graphic is outstanding as you probably already know
    - There is no system where you have to farm to certain level to be able to fight certain enemy

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is everything I could’ve dreamed of from when I first heard about this games development. First, Jin Sakai is an incredibly well done character. Daisuke Tsuji did a amazing job. Moreover, his character development is phenomenal. Furthermore, the other characters, such as; Lady Masako, Norio, Yuna, Taka, Ryuzo, Khotun Kahn, Ishikawa etc. are also doing brilliantly. I loved and was completely invested in every characters story and personality. The combat is excellent, with a plethora of techniques and mechanics which help it be very, very fun and non-repetitive because there’s so many ways to go about it. For example, you could stand off against the enemy, use ranged weapons, be completely stealthy, use the ghost weapons or use all of the above simultaneously. The one thing that I didn’t really like about this game is that the final battle against Khotun Kahn wasn’t a duel scenario. The fact that it was just like normal playing made it seem less impactful as the penultimate important fight. This character that has been an portrayed numerous times to be a ruthless warlord who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal is suddenly a relatively easy fight (normal difficulty) and I think they could’ve made his duel move set more punishing and complex. Back to positivity, the ending was incredible, the duel with Lord Shimura was a surprise for me, but a welcome one. It once again showed the lengths that samurai would go to maintain their honour. I let Shimura live as I just couldn’t bring myself to kill him, even if it was the more emotionally powerful ending. Last, I’d like to say a few words about the ‘fashion’ this game. I believe that the vanity in ghost of Tsushima is impeccable. It is incredible. There is an extraordinary range of varying headbands, straw hats, kabuto and some that guard such as the tengai. Moreover, the choice of colour and mask was very nice as many of them represented something different, personally, I wore the ghost set through the rest of the game after I got it because it looks amazing and because it came from Taka and that was enough to make me wear it.… Expand

It may be true that there are some aspects of the game that may have been done better. To name a few there is the lip sync for the Japanese dub, the Stealth Detection AI for the enemies and a few historical discrepancies such as using katana instead of the tachi and the patterns of the samurai armor during the 1200's (this is for those who are into the historical aspect of the game). However, these are definitely minute compared to the compelling story and very relatable characters the game has to offer to players. From the exhilarating fight sequences to the breathtaking scenes, Ghost of Tsushima delivers a familiar vibe of a beloved theme in a very refreshing light. For me, to call Ghost of Tsushima "amazing" is an understatement. I would consider this a masterpiece. Thank you and congratulations Sucker Punch Productions!… Expand

Let me just state that I'm naturally quite wary of games that have either full or near universal acclaim, especially because such a score (given by """"professional reviewers"""") is almost always inaccurate and/or shady. However, once again, this is one of the rare moments when 10/10 is perfectly justifiable. This game oozes soul and feels more like a labour of love than a commercial product. The art direction is excellent, the story is fun, and obviously there is a lot of eye candy as far as graphics goes. But the highlight for me is the gameplay and the open world environment that truly makes you feel like you're living in an Akira Kurosawa movie.

    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.
