    Perhaps the best game of the PS4 generation. Certainly inside the top 5. Belongs up there with God of War, Bloodborne, Spider-Man, Uncharted, TLOU, Horizon Zero Dawn.

    A beautiful open world in the style of ancient japan. Simple but very interesting combat system and skill leveling system. Many interesting side quests. Strong plot.
    P.S. русская озвучка и перевод шикарны !

    For years, audiences have been asking Ubisoft to bring Assassin’s Creed back to feudal Japan, but the French publisher has ignored the appeal. Well, the Sucker Punch team has taken the initiative - here's a samurai open-world game inspired by Kurosawa's films. And this game turned out to be very good

    Bellissimo, artisticamente sublime, il Giappone feudale è riprodotto in maniera assolutamente certosina. Consigliato a tutti, soprattutto a coloro amanti della cultura giapponese.

    Despite some flaws later on with the some story narrative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the recommend exclusives that deserve to get praise not only because of the Japan concept, but also for the well made exploration mix with amazing combat and not mention how good the progression through out from beginning to the end. Story wise it is nothing new. But instead of story-telling    Despite some flaws later on with the some story narrative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the recommend exclusives that deserve to get praise not only because of the Japan concept, but also for the well made exploration mix with amazing combat and not mention how good the progression through out from beginning to the end.

    Story wise it is nothing new. But instead of story-telling narrative, GOT choose to focus on character story driven. Giving the simple revenge story with a complex and enjoyable character thoughout the journey of Jin. They have weakness as well Help him, and teach him in so many way to become a Ghost and still, live true to his own life.

    Gameplay wise, despite on "nothing new" on openworld structure, GOT still deliver one of the best openworld til today with many small add-on feature inside some similar features we have seen from other openworld title. From point of interest, enemies camp, hidden location, etc.

    GOT put their love inside those activities. I could give some example like "POI", in other games you can just go to that place and listen to some audio or read a letter to describe some informations. But in GOT, you can make Haku poem, one of the best way for you to take a break and enjoy the beauty as well as your mind can be at ease by music score in those locations. And you can find much more of those "take a break" moments not just only by those point of interest location.

    And the thing to make it more distinct, yes (Again), by those beautiful graphic with very careful well crafted locations and strong art-direction. Although, some may not point this one can be a game-changing, but to me, the graphic of GOT for not just only for beauty-eye-candy but also help a lot in game level design to hide some special locations and gameplay. It keeps your interesting mind enough to not let go the controller.

    I'm glad they learnt and took the inspiration from RDR, Shadow of the Colossus and Zelda BOTW for exploration gameplay. Also instead of climbing tower to unlock maps, this time, defeat enemies on their camp can automatically unlock maps in limit zone.

    The special about combat mechanic of GOT, is not about stealth, it is about Stand off mechanic moments. It can be repeated many times but it is addictive for sure. There are very few games that has those mini feature but shape a unique feeling like GOT. The dual battle may sound nothing new, but when you into it and experience. It feel totally different than anything you see out there.

    Many people said GOT feel like Assassin's Creed. But nope, after over 50 hours of playing it, I see it nothing like that. Yep, I am no place to deny it borrow some feature from other openworld. But when combining, with some genious tweak and add-on inside those "similar", surprisingly, it brought to you a whole new experience that so refresh, so well-done and not overwhelming things that will bug you along the way.

    And one more personal feeling of mine when experience this, just like I felt for HZD. Despite some flaws, HZD and GOT absolutely positive feeling in their openworld. Full of hope in humanity.    … Expand

    One of the most incredible games I have ever played, also one of the most beautiful. I finished the whole story, it was amazing. The only things I found bad about this game (did not make the game any worse) was the camera in combat, and the parkour. Otherwise this is a phenomenal game that I recommend everyone play.

    I truly felt attached to the character.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the game I've dreamed of. Wandering as a Samurai in Feudal Japan with my horse, helping people and getting stronger. Some people say it doesn't do anything new in the genre, but they couldn't be more wrong.

    GoT doesn't treat you like an idiot, it expects you to learn how to read to world, where you need to go, how to do something, it's there, in the world. No    Ghost of Tsushima is the game I've dreamed of. Wandering as a Samurai in Feudal Japan with my horse, helping people and getting stronger. Some people say it doesn't do anything new in the genre, but they couldn't be more wrong.

    GoT doesn't treat you like an idiot, it expects you to learn how to read to world, where you need to go, how to do something, it's there, in the world. No waypoint or markers, you find your way using the sound and the environment, that alone for me is a game changer.

    On top of that the game is very non-linear. You can make many many quests in the order you want, that includes main and side quests with a defined storyline. You earn different things for doing different missions. At one time I was struggling with a side quest, so I went to the story and did some missions to earn Stealth and the Bow, when I got back to the side quest I could finish it because I had more tools at my disposal, but it was totally possible to do that in a harder way. The game let's you play it anyway you want it and the best thing of it? It shows you the rewards of every mission before you decide to play it.

    The world is huge in scale and content, and every side activity has a reward. For clearing mongol camps you earn points to get a new stance (and a new fast travel location), for doing bamboo challenge's you earn more Determination, Fox Shrines a new amulet. EVERYTHING makes you progress, that makes the game so worth to complete.

    The locations are beautiful and sometimes you need to think of how are you going to enter one location, because it's not like everything is on the same level. You have distant islands, mountains, caves, temples. At the same time you can do many different things to transverse those envrionments. Remember when I said the game doesn't treat you like an idiot? This is one of the things that make a difference. All of the time I remebered Shadow of the Colossus, where getting to a place is part of the challenge.

    The game also makes the fighting very satisfying. It's not easy, sometimes I struggled to get past some enemies. It's challeging and it's rewarding. Also it has SO MANY upgrades and different paths you can make that everyone Jin will play different. Some will prefere to do an stealth route, others an Archer and another one can make a Tanker Samurai. Everything is possible, there is no right way to do it. The game also has duels in which the player has to use every samurai skill to win. It's really awesome.

    The Story and Sountrack are great, I could spend more time talking about how polished and good the game is, but I don't think that is necessary. The game just is awesome, a game changer. Everyone who said the game doesn't do anything new can't use their brains (huuur open world with collectibles = something we have). GoT does everything different with a huge amount of content, a beautiful world, a great story and not treating you like an idiot. That's all we needed from a Samurai Open World Game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all I want to address the things that were negative about this game:
    As you may have heard in many reviews the camera doesn't always behave in your favor which is true. Though for me there have been very few instances where this has caused major problems, it was still very annoying at times. There are other games where this works better. This could be esily fixed by making everything that is between the camera and the character transparent, at least in combat, especially when it's right in front of the camera and blocking the entire screen. As I've said, it didn't cause any major problems for me but it was pretty annoying in some situations.
    The other thing that bugged me was the ocean sound. I can't help it but the ocean sound and wave sound effects seem to me like they've been recorded on a phone. Compared to all the other sound effects it seemed unclean and low quality. Now maybe my brain is just misinterpreting it and the sound effect is perfectly fine but whenever I was at the shore it felt off.
    Now the next point I'm going to make isn't really a criticism but more a wish for the future. New Game+. Especially since there are alot of outfits and colours that can only be unlocked late in the game it would be nice to have a New Game+ mode where you can use all of them from the beginning. They could still add a New Game+ mode with a patch but right now, there really isn't anything like this.
    So, now that I told you everything that bugged me with the game, let me tell you about what I loved.
    There is a very minimalist HUD. In fact, when you run around and explore the world there is not a single HUD element on screen. You use the wind to guide you to your next questmarker which works perfectly fine and doesn't take away from the immersion. this really helps you to look at the world, explore and immerse yourself. The combat is fluent, interesting and it is a decent challenge. Now it isn't as challenging as a Dark Souls game or as Sekiro for example but it's way more exciting than Assassins Creed in my honest opinion.
    The world itself is beautiful - the art and level design is really impressive.
    The voice acting is also done really well. I played the Japanese dub. Now the movement of the mouth is matched with the English dub and some players were irritated when they played the Japanese dub but I personally wasn't bothered by that at all. In fact hearing the Japanese voices helped me to get even more immersed in the world and the story.
    And speaking of the story, this is the one thing that surprised me the most. This game tells it's story so beautifully.
    Major Spoiler Coming in:
    The conflict between Jin and his uncle, Lord Shimura is at the heart of this story. Lord Shimura values honour above all and so does Jin at the beginning of the game. Lord Shimura is a father figure for the protagonist and at some point he even wants to adopt Jin as his rightful son and heir. Those two love and respect each other. But as you progress the story as Jin you realise that by staying true to the honourable way of the Samurai you will ultimately fail and risk the lives of many people. So Jin sacrifices his honour to fight for the people. Lord Shimura cannot accept this since he would rather sacrifice himself and all of Tsushima in the name of honour. This drives the two apart. They still love and respect each other but their views are fundamentally different. At the end they fight each other in a duel. A heartbreaking scene. Up to this point I had hoped that the two could be together again as father and son and though Lord Shimura doesn't want to kill Jin, he wants Jin to take responsibility for his crimes and face his punishment as an honourable Samurai would. Jin wins the duel and Lord Shimura is wounded, begging Jin to grant him a warriors death. Now the player is presented two options: You can grant Lord Shimuras dying wish and kill him, or you can spare him. And although this is the last point in the game and my decision wouldn't affect the game at all I was torn apart. I don't want Lord Shimura to die, I don't want to kill my father but at the same time I know that if I spared him he would never forgive me and the only way to reconnect with him one last time is to grand him a warriors death. This choice and the ultimate ending of the game impacted me more than I imagined, I was really taken by surprise by all the emotions I felt in that moment. It is definitely a story that I want to experience again in the future.

    Now taking all of that into account a more honest score would be a 9.5. There are a few minor issues that I had with the game and none of them really affected the fun I had playing. So therefore I lean towards the 10/10. I know that no game ever really deserves a 10/10 but this game really stuck with me for days after I finished it and I still think about the stories it managed to tell.
    I can easily recommend this game to anyone who likes RPGs.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect sendoff to the PS4 era. SuckerPunch created a game that truly does justice to the japanese setting the game takes place in, all while putting you in the shoes of a conflicted Samurai ready to do everything, including breaking his own code, to save the people and the island that he loves.

SuckerPunch created a game that truly does justice to the japanese setting the game takes place in, all while putting you in the shoes of a conflicted Samurai ready to do everything, including breaking his own code, to save the people and the island that he loves.

    Jin Sakai is yet again another amazing Playstation Icon to add to the roster of amazing exclusive titles that Playstation has to offer. His story while not the most original, is inspired by classic Samurai Tales of old, quite reminiscent of Seven Samurai or even Yojimbo, drawing a clear inspiration from the works of Akira Kurosawa and doing justice to his legacy in videogame form.

    It's a gorgeous game, with amazing combat, breathtaking visuals and a lot of sidequests and exploration to partake in. Side characters, especially those tied to the main story, are all interesting and fleshed out in sometimes in heart wrenching ways. These characters and their backstories are truly worth delving into. Meanwhile quests like Mythic Tales expand the lore in true SuckerPunch fashion, with truly beautiful artistic flare that invokes japanese ink paintings, Sumi-e.

    You will get lost in this world and the game rewards exploration. Finding new cosmetics, hidden secrets and places is well worth it and gives you a satisfying feeling that your wandering paid off. No microtransactions here, everything can be found in-game and it's truly a staple of Playstation games at this point to give everything away within gameplay and not as something you pay extra.

    i could go on and on about why this game is truly a masterpiece deserving of being called the Playstation 4 era's Swan Song, but play it for yourself, get lost in this world and you'll see what everyone is talking about.    … Expand

    First of all, congrats to Sucker Punch! Outstanding job!

    I've been waiting patiently for this game since October 2017, for almost 3 years we've waited and it did not disappoint. It's not a perfect game, but it's surprising how they pulled it off. Everything looks gorgeous, the photo mode is a beast! and the game play gave me 6 days of sleep deprivation.

    side quests does not feel repetitive at all. each tale, each side quest feels like a mini story of its own. its fun and engaging. It feels like you really are making the island of tsushima liberated with each missions you finished. that is just the side missions. The main missions are epic and truly captivating.

    Gameplay wise, its god sent. The controls are responsive, and being the "Ghost", it really makes you feel like a really bad ass. the massive creativity, the combinations, the animations, everything feels so immersive that you feel like you really are Jin Sakai and you are a real badass.

    the world building, the gameplay, the story, the immersiveness of the game blends perfectly in this one game that really leaves an empty space in your soul once you platinum finished the game. Overall, this is the best game that can send the ps4-era a big send off for its era of games.    … Expand

The story was good nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable none the less but it would have been better if the story had been impacted if you chose to play as a samurai instead of the ghost but it wasnt that big of a deal breaker also wish there was some replay ability but that can be added later.

    Amazing graphics, combat system is solid and feels very rewarding (especially the 1v1 scenario's), and though the story is standard, there is ZERO issue with that if handled well, and I'd say it is more then handled well here with good examination of story themes. Soundtrack is rather epic as well. The main antagonist is also pretty damn cool despite my initial expectations for him, having a more realistic feel while being a total badass.

    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.
