I wish most games could be this style, and with combat as fun, Simple, but also VERY complex if you are willing to put in the time and effort, and it gets Soo much better as you get more skills.. People compare this to Assassin's Creed, and it has similarities, but it is SOO much better in a lot of ways for me.. The combat is 1,000x more fun, I NEVER get tired of it, and the Standoffs are fantastic, a lot of times when I am roaming an Open world game, if i see a group of enemies I will avoid them(unless I am grinding for XP) in this game I fight ALL challengers, and thoroughly enjoy every encounter. I just played a Siege mission, and it was one of my favorite missions in any game i've ever played. The one on one Boss battles are wonderful, they are soo cinematic, and I wish there were more!! My only qualm is I wish there was one or two higher difficulties, not as hard as Sekiro and Dark Souls, but perhaps a Very Hard/Ghost Mode that is somewhere in the middle of this game and those games. And the camera and targeting could be tweaked a bit, But the positives FAR outweigh the small amount of negatives!! We DEFINITELY need a New Game Plus!! I will buy ANY sequels or DLC instantly, my GOTY for sure.. Expand

This was not even on my radar but my buddy got it and recommended it to me so I checked it out. I won’t be going through story at all in this review but I will say I loved it!! The combat feels smooth and you feel like a true samurai, switching your stance based on the opponent, standing off on game of deadly chicken, riding on your horse helping people along the way. The archery feels good and is easy to master but it’s held back from being a crutch by ammo being limited, at least at first, which is good in my opinion. You can go the Ghost way which I actually enjoyed dabbling in as it was a good way to thin the herd so you don’t get swarmed by a crowd that you can’t handle. The stealth AI isn’t the smartest but the mechanics and being a ninja samurai is fun. The game wasn’t hard, but it also wasn’t easy, I died in the first 20 min (and immediately felt embarrassed when my wife said, “already?”) but every time you die it doesn’t feel unfair you just think, “okay I didn’t do x y z, lets make sure to do that.” The only gripe I would really say I have with the combat is the camera is pretty bad, there’s no lock on and sometimes you’ll miss a hit that would have easily been dodgeable/parryable. But the psuedo-lock-on they implemented worked okay and ultimately didn’t detract from the experience too much.

    The exploration is probably my favorite part, the wind, the birds, the foxes. There are no real waypoints, it’s all about following nature and using the world to guide you. And the way they tie those mechanics into the story of Jin and his character are super cool as well. It took me a while to finish Act 1 and even longer to finish act 2, not because they’re overly long or drawn out, but because I was spending so much time doing side quests and finding fox dens and doing the mythic quests (also highly recommend these as the cutscenes leading up to them are beautiful and the quests themselves usually have a cool boss fight.) Going back to old areas with new abilities also just strengthen the feeling of being a super powerful samurai. Also when you follow a fox to a shrine, pet it, it will melt your heart how they react. There is a pretty broken perk that says it will allow you to fall from great heights and not take fall damage but it seems that I still take fall damage from the same heights, I might be missing a button press but it wasn’t really explained all that well if that’s the case. Again though, pretty minor stuff and the rest of the perks are really rewarding.

    Everything from the style, the story, the combat, the world, the characters, to those cute foxes, all come together to create an immersive experience that had me wanting to learn Japanese and buy a Katana. I will enjoy playing as Lord Sakai for a long time.

    At first, the game caused only one yawn and indignation from what he saw. But, nevertheless, after playing it for several tens of hours, you will really be imbued with the history of the protagonist and the spirit of that ancient Japan. The only drawbacks are the first act and the rather awkward camera controls. All in all, SP has a pretty passable game trhat closes the PS4 exclusive lineup.

    One of my favorite open world games of all time. Has the best combat system in a open world rpg even better than God of War. The game is very beautiful but the HDR can seem overdone. With many bloom instances blinding you because they are overly bright.

    Pretty basic mission design is the main thing that holds it back. The island has been captured and nearly all missions are fight to save somebody or fight to recover somebody/something. It wouldn't be that big of a deal if the characters you interacted with were better. They really needed some better writing and some more bonding moments. Maybe just an improvement to the character interactions with less standing and talking scenes. It wont be a big distraction just clearly something that needs improving.

    The game world is expertly crafted and exploring it is a joy. Some big time set piece battles are very well done and you should flip your PS4 pro over to performance mode before going into those fights. A decent amount of cosmetic collectibles and suits of armor that are all designed with abilities for different playstyles. Took me 40 hours or so to finish everything and get the platinum trophy... I wasted lots of time fighting trash enemies that pop up around the map so it can be done shorter. Haven't enjoyed a open world game this much since the Witcher 3 even if it does fall short in that comparison.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never how much I would actually enjoy this game until I actually played it. The gameplay and combat system is great and feels grounded. The visuals are simply amazing for an open world game. In addition, the loading screen times are incredibly short and not what I would have expected from such a visually pleasing game. The story was certainly good and I love how when you perform certain Ghost actions like assassination for the first time, Jin gets a flashback to the past about how Lord Shimura trained him with honor. Furthermore, the ending teared me up as I could feel the emotional conflict as the honorable Lord Shimura was ordered by the shogun to hunt down his nephew, or as he saw it, his own son. The decision at the end really creates a wonderful choice for players to either give Jin's surrogate father a honorable death or to spare him and let him live.

    The only things that I can criticize on are the grappling hook mechanic sometimes not giving the indicator despite it seeming like it should have and the long transitions from the end of missions to when you can regain control of your character. These minor inconveniences are just picky observations.

    The game's reward system for doing small activities is well-designed as you will never feel like you're on a bland, boring grind for only rewards that is easily obtainable elsewhere. Resting in hot springs rewards a health increase, bamboo strikes reward resolve increases, and many more. As a result, exploration doesn't feel like a hassle.

    Anyone who rates this game terribly clearly has not played through the whole game, had not learned what side activities they can do, and/or had a bias against a game that does not have any political agenda.

The stealth in Ghost of Tsushima has far more resemblance to sly cooper than AC, but most people leaving reviews with that comparison are new gen gamers who are just now getting involved in gaming after playing fornite thinking it makes them a real gamer. This game is 100% a GOTY contender & Sucker Punch solidifies their position among some of the GREATEST DEVELOPERS AROUND. They have grown with their fans from a kids game Sly Cooper on ps2, to teen/young adults game Infamous on ps3, and now an adults game Ghost of Tsushima on ps4. They've made rock solid games time & time again, yet people applaud ubisoft that turned AC into a wanabe Witcher 3 with dlc that lets you fast track your game... yet people applauded ubi & are condeming Sucker Punch... crazy, this game has no fast pass microtransactions, no buying weapons/armor/mounts/resources/xpboosts off a cash store. All that aside, well done Sucker Punch. Don't let the Political Correct community & the uninformed fanboies of AC get you down. You are one of the best developers around & this game PROVES it. Thanks for making a complete single player game in an era of incomplete DLC cash grabs. 10/10

    PS. only thing i do wish is that you add a newgame+ mode & maybe a harder difficulty. I know you focused on releasing a finished product, & you succeeded, now hit me with that NG+ & a realism mode.

    So, after waiting 2 days to play (had to finish Uncharted: The lost Legacy…I know I’m late lol) I must say I’m really enjoying the “Ghost of Tsushima”. I had to get use the controls and learn how to navigate the map, but after that is was all fun from there. If you want more of a story experience I would recommend playing on normal difficulty because anything over that can be brutal.So, after waiting 2 days to play (had to finish Uncharted: The lost Legacy…I know I’m late lol) I must say I’m really enjoying the “Ghost of Tsushima”.

    Graphics
    Music
    Horse (I name mines Kage)
    Open World
    Voice Acting (Some would prefer Japanese)

    Cons: Some glitches (Nothing that will take you out of the game)

    Ghost of Tsushima offers some of the best looking environments and vistas in any game of the current generation.
    The combat is fluid and fast-paced, and due to some great skill progression, it will feel rewarding throughout the entire game.
    The stealth gameplay on the other hand, feels a little stale with really bad enemy AI. I'm personally also very done with hiding in tall grass as

    The stealth gameplay on the other hand, feels a little stale with really bad enemy AI. I'm personally also very done with hiding in tall grass as part of "stealth" gameplay.

    The main missions in the game are very well written, and the overall story is touching even if it's not revolutionary at all.
    The side missions however vary greatly in quality, with some of them sadly being downright boring and poorly written.

    Finally exploration has all of the tropes you know and love/hate from open world games, but packaged in a way that neatly fits the overall theme and setting of the game, making exploration feel rewarding instead of a checkpoint chore.

    Overall Ghost of Tsushima is a great game, full of fast-paced samurai action, set in a stunning world, that is a true joy to your eyes.
    It doesn't change up the open-world formula much, but instead delivers the known tropes in a focused package.

    If you enjoy open world games, you will love Ghost of Tsushima.

    Lo mejor del juego es sin duda su exquisito uso de la luz, colores y el sistema de combate. Su mundo abierto aunque vistoso carece del nivel de detalle y riqueza de un AC o RDR2, repite texturas por doquier y los interiores son muy muy mejorables. Los PNJ y los animales... de PS3.

    There is no grinding for levels or map based locations that require a certain level in order for you to explore. Your ability to survive a fight is based on how well you have learned the art of the Samurai or Ghost.

    This gives you a sense of freedom as you explore this beautiful world because if you find an interesting location, you don’t need to worry about what level your character is. What you need to worry about is how confident you are with your fighting skills.

    Simply amazing 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.
