    Don't really review games, this is probably my first review ever on any platform but I felt compelled to do it after having played the game for dozens of hours now and seeing reports of people review bombing it in order to tank the user scores.

    If you don't want to read the whole thing I can say that in summary I think Ghost of Tsushima is a beautifully crafted masterpiece and a solemn Western bow to all classic Japanese samurai movies.
    If you've ever dreamed of walking in the shoes of one of those legendary samurai swordsmen then this game will provide the closest experience available on the market at the moment.

    I don't want to ignore other great games like Sekiro but that game for instance is so difficult that most of the time you feel like you are barely scraping through the levels. GoT instead can make you feel like a samurai God, stylishly slaying your way through the mongol hordes in visceral bloody combat that feels both slick and impactful, especially when you build up your arsenal with new abilities and fight stances. While I do admit the combat is more 'casual' than the one in Sekiro, I also have to say that to me it's one of the most satisfying melee fighting systems in the open-world genre and has done enough to differentiate itself from the others titles it is compared to (Assasins Creed/Batman Arkham series etc.).

    There is no reason to discuss the graphics as the game speaks for itself - it's just breathtaking for majority of the time and a great way to end the PS4 era with a bang! The HUD is very minimalist and allows for complete immersion during most of the gameplay. There is no level-gating in the game, you can just plow through the main quest if you'd like to but chances are you won't because the world is so compelling to explore!

    Both side and main quests are heavily inspired by The Witcher 3 which is always a great thing in my book. Though it doesn't reach quite the same level of character building and impact overall the story and quests are very good and also heavily inspired by old samurai movies, the game actually inspired me to go back and watch some of the flicks made by Akira Kurosawa and other great Japanese film makers. The game has zero micro-transactions and all of the 'grind' is optional however I've opted to go for getting 100% of the achievements which is going to be my first on the PS4!

    So, for the negatives my 2 biggest gripes are:
    - The camera can be very clumsy at times and you can find yourself without a clear view of your opponent having to guess what they are doing. I do enjoy the fact there is no lock-on system giving a more freestyle feel to the combat but at the same time the camera needs to be On Point for that to work correctly. This is not happening for the majority of the playtime but when it does it is noticeable!
    - There are a variety of small to bigger bugs I've encountered during my time playing, which leaves me with the impression that the game could have used a few more months in the oven before it was released.

    In the end of it all, I feel like the positive aspects of the game so heavily outweigh the negatives that any bad impressions I've had are almost made irrelevant.

    I want to end this review with a bow to Sucker Punch Productions for all the love they put in the project and deeply hope they would do a sequel for the PS5!    … Expand

    The world is beautiful, simply stunning, the story is as strong as it needs to be, but the combat, is just wow, forget the mindless button spamming and get ready to learn some sick combos and different stances against different type of enemies, and on higher difficulties, well for me at least....to die....a lot

    As many people have stated the outstanding positives of this game I won't be repeating them myself.(atmosphere, gameplay,story, narrative execution etc.) The game has indeed some problems though minor ones. I write this review after I platinumed the game.
    - The stealth sections are not bad. Yes, they are not TLOU 2 improvements we've seen but keep in mind this is an open world game. Yes,    As many people have stated the outstanding positives of this game I won't be repeating them myself.(atmosphere, gameplay,story, narrative execution etc.) The game has indeed some problems though minor ones. I write this review after I platinumed the game.
    - The stealth sections are not bad. Yes, they are not TLOU 2 improvements we've seen but keep in mind this is an open world game. Yes, it's not revolutionary. The problem lies with some upgrades you get in-game(like stealth armor-charms) which make the stealth less believable. But if you play it on hard without any real stealth upgrades the AI is believable enough(at least as far as the most open world AI is considered). However, in my opinion, it does a good enough job to immerse you in the gameplay of the Ghost. I would like to see improvements in next gen in this aspect from SuckerPunch though.
    - Mid to Late game you have so many tools that you are cheat. This same problem I dealt with Jedi: Fallen Order. As in Jedi where you could brute your way with the OP force, here you have so many tools that bypass the enemies defenses that if you abuse them the game is a joke(difficulty wise) even in hard. 5 Kunais, Sticky bombs, grenades, explosive arrows, smokebombs which leads in 3 chains assasinations. You can do most of the stuff in mid-late game without having to dodge-parry anything. And the enemies drop a good amount of them back so you can keep going. Though this is done to push the ghost gameplay, it overshadows the really good swordsman gameplay of the game. I would advice to not abuse them and the game will be more fun. At least this is how I feel like.
    - Act III was a bit small. Or at least I felt like that. I think Acts I and II were really good content wise whereas Act III was half in content.
    In coclusion, I would like to add that loading times for this game were REALLY good. I have the base Ps4 with the base HDD and fast travel was 3-7 secs. Respawning was 3-4 secs. That made the hunt for platinum and the overall experience very smooth( can't wait for Ps5 SSD :D ). Please don't take this review as a bad one. I'm just pointing out some minor things that could be improved upon. The game is awesome and I loved it. I would give it a 9.2 but heck it everyone seems to like it a lot!
    Thanks for reading I hope I helped you a bit.    … Expand

    The best samurai-themed game, cool combat and great storyline. There are problems like stupid bots in stealth and the lack of animation for steps on the stairs. But all these problems are closed by the spectacular combat that the game presents, in this game you cannot live even five minutes without a fight.

I've seen a lot of people say they don't like the stealth but I've enjoyed it, it's been good to be able to switch between stealth and full on frontal attacks, standoffs are also great. I would definitely recommend playing on hard mode for the challenge and realism of battles. The main story I've played so far has been enjoyable too, not much I can complain of so far if I'm honest although I'm still on act 1 as keep getting distracted and exploring. The music in this game is also part of what makes it so great, definitely play with headphones if you haven't got a good sound system set up to get the best of it. Probably my favourite game of the year, will see by the end of the game whether it is up there with the best of the PS4 games.… Expand

    Amazing climate of samurai-era japan. Not a single mission feels like a side quest. All of them have a clever(often dark or tragic) twist, that makes them more interesting than some main quests in other games. Innovation that came with the “gps” system makes it much more fun and immersive. Combat just as satisfying as sekiros’ but much more accessible and arguably more fluid and fun.Amazing climate of samurai-era japan. Not a single mission feels like a side quest.

This game is outstandingly gorgeous to the point that random screenshots of the game could easily be perceived as art. I'm not referring to the graphics, but rather the culmination of colors and environmental world design that makes the game uniquely appealing to look at. I've legitimately lost count of the number of times I was stopped dead like a deer caught in headlights in marvel of my surroundings and then took a screenshot, with the intent of using it as a wallpaper.

    The gameplay can be challenging, but nowhere near as demanding on the player as games like Sekiro or Nioh. As you get further in the game, more options open up as weapons, equipment, and techniques are unlocked. The game gives players the choice to play stealthy and rely on tricks (which the game will call you out on) or play honorably and fight through Mongol forces with nothing but your katana and your skill. The sword play is fast, but strategic. Hacking and slashing is quickly punished and parries and proper timing is greatly rewarded. Different sword stances are powerful against certain weapons/enemies. The starting stance is effective against swordsmen, while other unlockable stances will be effective against shields, spears, etc.

    Every once in a while, you'll get the chance to call out enemies into a showdown. Here, proper timing can allow you to kill your foe(s) in a single strike in homage to Japanese samurai films (think like the Eastern equivalent of an Old West duel). Pulling it off successfully is always satisfying, and the skill can be upgraded to chain together more strikes in a single showdown.

    Along with the ability to upgrade your stances and techniques, so can you with your weapons and armor. Throughout the game, cosmetic sword kits, clothes dye, and headbands/hats/helmets can be found to change Jin's appearance. Furthermore, different armor sets provide different stat bonuses. One set can increase how durable you are, another can make you harder to spot. Equipment is improved by taking the appropriate materials to a vendor, greatly increasing their effectiveness. Stats can similarly be buffed with an assortment of charms that can be found/awarded by either visiting shrines or completing side missions. With the right combination of armor and charms, any give play style can be greatly enhanced.

    A common problem with open-world games is that progressing through them often feels like a chore. As if you're merely checking off boxes after a while. I've never come across that feeling in Ghost of Tsushima. Instead, I've been near constantly eager to explore, charging on horseback through the fog of war to discover new, magnificent sights, and take on any challenges I come across. The game is packed with things to do, without feeling overbearing. I feel that may be due to the distinct and pleasant lack of a HUD. Instead, the game tries to guide players by using the wing to guide players to objectives/map markers while birds will lead you to undiscovered locations or side quests. This is a game where it's very easy to just take your time, pick a direction, and see what's in store for you.

    The narrative isn't as strong as Red Dead Redemption, but I did find it rather engaging and even compelling at times. The game starts with a massacre, with the samurai being all but wiped out. As Jin continues to fight, he begins to realize that the ways of the samurai might not be enough to defeat the Mongols. As he begins to adapt and start adopting new methods to fight from the shadows, Jin struggles with his upbringing as a samurai and the value of honor when faced against an enemy as dangerous as Khotun Khan and the Mongolian Empire. It's an interesting balance of internal and external conflict, which feels a bit cheapened as I continue to decimate the Mongol horde with my arsenal of explosives.

    In summary, Ghost of Tsushima is a fantastic game that is well-worth your money. The gameplay is fun, the setting is interesting, and the visuals are just drop-dead gorgeous. If you have any interest in Japanese culture, samurai films, or historical war pieces, then I can't recommend this game enough. It's a PS4 exclusive that's every bit as good as God of War, Spider-Man, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. You'd be doing yourself a disservice for skipping this one.    … Expand

    Are you tired of tons of loot that literally add nothing to the game?
    Are you tired of a mini-map that you end up staring at for 80% of the time instead of looking into the game itself?

    Ghost of Tsushima is the answer to that and much more!
    With almost no HUD, the scenario is your guide! All visual elements that stand out and get your attention, directing your journey and immersing yourself in the perfect Samurai experience. The combat is fluid and you can't rely on lock-on. Seems hard in the beginning, but mastering it gives not only the sensation of achievement but also makes you enjoy your fights even more.
    Jin is a really likeable character that you can understand and sympathise with. The voice acting is on point. All ability points add something new to the gameplay.

    Simply playing the flute in the middle of the grass fields, or paying respect when meeting someone, or cleaning your sword after the killing blow. Such small things, but with such an impact once you put yourself in Jin's perspective.

    I can't find a single complaint about this game. Yes, the camera might be clunky sometimes, but this is but a small problem when compared with all the fun and immersion this game can give you.

    I hope other companies learn from Ghost of Tsushima. This is open world done right.    … Expand

    Absolutely GORGEOUS. It's a hybrid mix of Fallen Order, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Assassin's Creed, and Sekiro. The level of detail and care that went into the world design is flawless, and the combat system feels rewarding and challenging. I recommend playing the game on Hard though, to truly get the best experience out of the gameplay.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a fun game to play,
    it has interesting characters and overall fun gameplay.

You feel like a complete badass throughout the game, whether you are an honorable samarai or a brutal ghost. Exploring the island and completing its challenges and side quests doesn't feel like you're just checking of boxes to get that platinum trophy and you are often rewarded well for completing them. I really enjoyed the story and the continuous reminder that you are supposed to fight with honor and i couldn't help but feel bad whenever I took out a camp as the ghost. My opinion on the story may be influenced by the fact that I just have a natural interest in the history of the Mongol empire and ancient Japan but i can definitely see many people enjoying it even if they are not interested in the history. I am not an anime fan so getting a game based in Japan that wasnt just a bunch of magic and invincible characters but was actually a very grounded and brutal experience was a breath of fresh air. If you weren't sure on whether or not to buy this game, take my word for it, you will most likely enjoy it.… Expand

    Does not bring much new to the table, but what it delivers is a solid package without bloat. My favourite open world game since Horizon Zero Dawn. Love the visuals, the combat system, the emphasis on classic japanese storytelling that we know from kurosawa movies and that every place you visit feels like a new place instead of the copy/paste we know from AC Odyssey and Origins.

    I haven’t quite finished the main quest line yet but I’m about 2/3rds of the way through and I thought I would write this review while waiting for my PS4 controller to charge. I have been playing this game almost non-stop since its release.

    If there’s one word that could sum up this game it’s fun. It’s much more than that, but I haven’t had this much fun with a game for a long time.

    If there’s one word that could sum up this game it’s fun. It’s much more than that, but I haven’t had this much fun with a game for a long time. Ostensibly this appears to be an Assassins Creed with a Samurai theme with familiar open world tropes, but when its executed this well it is so much better than that. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous – I’ve used the photo mode in this game more than all other games I’ve played put together. The art design and the vivid colours are at times breathtaking.

    The map isn’t peppered with icons everywhere that usually signify cookie cutter side missions that are needed to level up, instead they are kept to a minimum as exploration is greatly encouraged instead of merely going from point A-B. Side missions are as much fun and quality as the main quest and they are varied and interesting - much time and effort has been put into both. There are no clumsy intrusive lines showing you where to go instead you follow the wind, foxes or certain birds which show you the way to missions, or places of interest. A simple but brilliantly effective idea of maintaining immersion. Every point of interest has a purpose, whether it’s to increase health or increase charms.

    But it’s the combat where this game really excels. It can be as simple or as complex as you wish. With four different sword techniques that you can change mid combat at will, and with multiple move sets per technique, it makes for some impressive and visceral combat. Bandit camps are no longer the tedious level up method deployed in AC games instead, because of the glorious combat, they become something to look forward to.

    The game does have a few minor quibbles; there are probably more bugs than there should be – though I’ve not encountered any game breaking ones, and the camera needs a lock on, too many times it got caught up behind a bush or obstacle meaning you can’t see, sometimes meaning you lose the fight.

    But overall this game is absolutely superb and the more I play the better it gets as it reveals more of itself. Without question, so far this is my game of the year...by some distance.    … Expand

    Really weird and boring gameplay. I don't understand how gamers give such high marks. And this is the exclusive final generation PS4?

    Aburridísimo, super genérico, un juego foto-realista, es decir superficial.

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
