    Fantastic game, definite contender for GOTY 2020. So much to do, amazing gameplay, story, and surprising customization. The game will keep you coming back until you get the platinum trophy. One of the most beautiful game worlds I have ever seen.

    Let me preface this review by saying that I don't normally like "open-world" games. I made an exception for Ghost of Tsushima for three reasons: 1) The 13th century setting: this is not a period of history that gets much attention, with most Japanese-inspired games/novels/films set in the much later Sengoku period, and "Samurai vs Mongols" sounded intriguing. 2) The 18 minute gameplayLet me preface this review by saying that I don't normally like "open-world" games. I made an exception for Ghost of Tsushima for three reasons: 1) The 13th century setting: this is not a period of history that gets much attention, with most Japanese-inspired games/novels/films set in the much later Sengoku period, and "Samurai vs Mongols" sounded intriguing. 2) The 18 minute gameplay demo released earlier in the year 3) The general hype in various game groups I'm in.

    As you can tell by my score, I'm very happy I took the risk.

    So much has already been written about this games visuals, but it bears repeating: Tsushima is gorgeous. The colour palette is insane, and you can see why the Tsushima tourist board has recently partnered with Sucker Punch. This game is a love letter to the Japanese rural idyll: cherry blossoms blow over lakes, windswept beaches glow in the light of the setting sun, temples and shrines line the horizon in spell-binding vistas. The criticism I often have of open world games is that the worlds become bland after too much exploring, or that tasks seem repetitive, but that just doesn't apply here. I was happy to just wake up in the morning, switch the PS4 on, set Sora (my horse) to a slow canter and just observe Tsushima while drinking my coffee. The design team had clearly observed the environment they were trying to replicate deeply and created astonishing biomes, not in an overly photo-realistic way but in a manner which captures the essence of nature. The funny thing is, I went for a walk IRL the other day and found myself looking more appreciatively at birds, the wind in trees etc because of this game.

    SP could have charged me £50 for a haiku / horse simulator and I would have considered it money well spend, but they also managed to create an astonishingly good samurai combat game and revenge / honour story on the top. Once you get through a slightly-too-long intro and level the skill tree up a bit (about 2-3 hours work), the melee combat system is among the best I've ever played. Picture the frenzied fun of early beat-em-ups, the deflecting of Sekiro and the stance changes from Nioh all in one fluid package. There is nothing quite like the adrenaline rush of challenging four enemies to a "Standoff", taking them out, then dropping a smoke bomb, assassinating four more enemies in the resultant fog and then going batsh!t in Ghost mode (late game only) to take the rest out - all to the pumping sound track of battle drums and (sometimes) Mongol throat singing (I really want to read more about how they composed the music to this game - the use of a Biwa (an almost forgotten stringed instrument) during the mythic quests and on discovering certain locations was inspired).

    The story beats are on point: what starts off appearing to be a fairly simple, serious story of revenge blossoms into an interesting meditation on how far you are willing to go to protect your home and people. Jin is a likeable protagonist, but I also found many of the characters explored in side missions to have interesting arcs, in particular uncle Lord Shirmura and the thief Yuna, who embody the "honour-above-all" vs "whatever-it-takes-to-protect-those-I-love" paradigms respectively.

    Is the game perfect? No (no game is). The lack of lip syncing on the Japanese dub was an oversight (although I still played in Japanese for fuller immersion), there were a few glitches here and there, and as previously mentioned the game takes a little too long to properly find its stride (although it sticks the landing, an then some). But the fact is I found none of these to affect my enjoyment in the slightest and are likely patchable anyway, so I'm not going to lower my score on their behalf.

    Overall this was a perfect game for these crazy times, allowing me to explore a pristine world tainted by violence, to demonstrate video games as an artform and story telling medium whilst also providing adrenaline pumping combat. Superb.

What I liked most about the game is it treats not the battle with the khan as the ending, but the choice that Jin makes. It is indeed difficult to make that choice than to fight hordes of mongols.

This was an absolutely magnificent game. From start to finish, it is jaw dropping. The story is amazing and the scenery is beyond gorgeous. The colors used in this game are incredible. I played it on my PS4 Pro with a 4K UHD Samsung TV and my goodness it didn’t disappoint. I did everything the game had to offer and spent probably around 50-60 hours in game. Each time I sat down for a session the game just continued to provide jaw dropping moments and graphics. The music was also another one of my favorites. It was just all around wonderful. This is also coming from an Xbox person who will be getting a Series X at launch. I can only dream one day Xbox could make such a remarkable first party game as this. It will be a tragedy if this game doesn’t win game of the year. I played and beat LOU2 as well, but this game imo is better in almost every regard. It’s a shame there are not more games like this out there. This is what Assassins Creed dreams to be and maybe one day it might, but for now Ghost of Tsushima is in a class that it only shares with GoW. If you’re looking to close the current console chapter out, do so by playing this game, you won’t regret it. It was the icing on the cake and a beautiful way to send PlayStation 4, off into the sunset. I’m almost positive if you appreciate games this one will not disappoint. It makes my top 5 current gen games of all-time! Hats off to Sucker Punch and bravo. An instant classic and should be loved by many. Cheers! Expand

    #PLATINUM #GhostofTsushima SPOILER FREE REVIEW Ive not enjoyed a game this much since Horizon Zero dawn and witcher 3 wilf hunt

    Ghost of Tsushima is visually beautiful, extremely well researched and written, and keeps you hooked as the story progresses. It just gets better and better the longer you play.

    The narrative is compelling and interesting, the side quests are equally interesting unlike so many games with repetitive, tiresome quests just to keep the player busy. The fighting is very satisfying and ever evolving so it never turns stagnant and becomes repetitive. The island of Tsushima is vast and beautifully diverse with lots of open world exploring to be done. There's lots of hidden little things, for example, following the yellow birds to find hidden points of interest/items there's so much for the player to do and not to mention the deep dive into ancient Japanese culture. The art of the Haiku, honour and the battle between what was taught and what needs to be done in the face if overwhelming force. Ghost of Tsushima has a great photo mode to capture the stunning beauty of the Island. I love this game, it has blown me away and exceeded my expectations. Thanks Sucker Punch you made something great. 10/10 game and highly deserving and recommended

    Amazing / Brilliant Game.
    Great original story that isn't a sequel or remake. The story makes you feel like you are a part of it and you get hooked on what's going to happen next. You can also do it at your own pace, theres plenty of side quests without feeling like its over saturated.. i never felt like i was grinding to progress further - it felt like a journey. Scenery is captivating

The lack of an always visible HUD, especially in an open-world game, is so refreshing. The minimalistic view with the HUD, minimap, and missions are quite unlike other open-world staples. The story is realistic as well as the fact that it is based on a real-life event (the invasion of Japan by the Mongols, not the actual Ghost of Tsushima). The story also ends beautifully,(no spoilers), and it brought me to tears no matter how many times I've seen it. The Critic score underplays how wonderfully this game is... and if you are buying a PS4, then you NEEEEED to get Ghost of Tsushima. Expand

Historia profunda en la cual se siente la frustración de un pueblo oprimido por la invasión Mongol, crudeza de esa época con enemigos tanto invasores como los del mismo pueblo que se convierten en criminales que buscan sobrevivir siendo traidores vendidos al bando enemigo o simplemente por necesidad. Es ahí cuando nuestro héroe que no es un todo poderoso desde el inicio tiene que pasar por una y mil aventuras para fortalecerse a sí mismo y por ende reunir un grupo para poder liberar a la isla de Tsushima. Me encantó el juego, es bastante filosófico y como es basada en la cultura japonesa valores como el honor, lealtad y esfuerzo son muy frecuentes. Para mi el juego del año, además de ser un juego que procura ser neutral en las cuestiones de corrección política, pero bueno aun así hay un personaje que es debido a la presión de los medios tuvieron que poner de la manera mas forzada para convertirla en bisexual aunque era casada y con hijos, fue super forzado pero solo fue el 1% del juego. Al principio tiende a ser un poco monótono, pero a medida que avanzamos la historia y fortalecemos a Jin, el juego se vuelve super divertido. Cómprenlo sin pensarlo dos veces, un juego extraordinario. Expand

Mas nadaO jogo se torna muito especial a partir do momento em que tenta quebrar alguns clichês do gênero "open world" mesmo mantendo outros deles, assegurando uma experiência muito intrigante, única e surpreendente. Exemplo disso é o sistema de sidequests, cada uma delas não é feita em vão no ponto de vista da narrativa do jogo, não apresentando missões repetidas ou de entrega de itens. Mas nada impede do jogador ignorar essas missões secundárias, podendo seguir direto nas missões principais da história, já que o jogo não apresenta um sistema numérico de Level do personagem. Os upgrades são feitos de forma muito natural com pontos de experiência adquiridos durante alguns combates, depois aplicados em árvores de habilidades, cada uma delas recompensando de verdade o jogador com novas mecânicas dentro da gameplay.
    A história é agradável de acompanhar, os personagens são muito bem escritos e possui uma cadência de acontecimentos bem pontual e coerente. Ela fica ainda melhor se o jogador completar todas as sidequests específicas de personagens mais relevantes antes de chegar no clímax final.
    Tudo isso acontecendo em um mundo vasto, repleto de conteúdo, dividido em 3 partes, cada uma referente a um ato da história. O visual do jogo é muito bonito, o cenário realmente ganha vida com a excelência artística da Sucker Punch. Existem bugs frequentes de física, coisas atravessando, personagens flutuando, até algumas texturas sem muitos detalhes. Mas já que se trata de um jogo de mundo aberto, com uma performance tão boa no Ps4, isso pode ser relevado. Aliás, joguei no Playstation 4 Slim, e quedas de FPS só aconteceram de forma intensa em duelos, momentos especiais em que você enfrenta um único inimigo com um ângulo de câmera mais próximo do personagem e com mais efeitos rolando na tela. Fora isso, os loadings são assustadoramente rápidos. Esqueça Assassin's Creed Odyssey, em que você espera minutos para abrir o jogo.
    Enfim, Ghost of Tsushima cumpre o papel de inovar, respeitar o gênero, surpreender e, PRINCIPALMENTE, divertir o jogador.

    To give you some background, I am a fan of Japanese history/culture and a hobby historian; I have done extensive research for the Kamakura era. This game takes a lot of creative liberties and I would say it is historically inspired, not historically accurate. The attire, for example, is more often Edo era but sometimes is Sengoku era--still several hundred years after the Mongol invasion.To give you some background, I am a fan of Japanese history/culture and a hobby historian; I have done extensive research for the Kamakura era. This game takes a lot of creative liberties and I would say it is historically inspired, not historically accurate. The attire, for example, is more often Edo era but sometimes is Sengoku era--still several hundred years after the Mongol invasion. Let's not forget the Kamakura era was really the introduction to samurai and bushido as we would later know them but the games story treats them as established traditions.
    It's clear the main inspiration was Akira Kurosawa films, with stand offs, 1 on 1 duels, and an amazingly cinematic experience that isn't isolated to cutscenes as you can pause the game most anywhere and get a perfect camera shot.
    The world is compact, which I appreciate because I don't have time for the likes of Witcher 3 and Red Dead Redemption 2's bigger and more robust worlds. Everything decorating the world feels purposeful and tells it's own story, from tragically placed bodies to burned down ghost towns. There's something to do not too far in any direction and the people you serve rush to you needed aid or offering you information. The quests really do remind me of the Witcher where each is a unique, consice story that will never be repeated. I really feel like a samurai protecting his people, even after the billionth time I rescue some villager from Mongol captors.
    One thing I really appreciate is that the Mongols are not painted evil by default. You can see how human they can be within the prologue itself and it contrasts well with how frustrated the main character, Jin, gets with his own people in later missions.
    I've seen people complain that Jin is boring and I really believe it comes down to personal taste. He has his depth but it's carefully guarded and I think that's an intentional aspect for his situation and how he was raised. He's respectful to allies and animals alike, but will stand firm where he must. I only played the game in English as the mouths don't sync for Japanese but I'm not disappointed--all of the characters are acted very well and have a lot of emotion and care in their lines. The pronunciation for non-english words are mostly natural and I could tell the actors really cared about the language, making the characters feel all the more believable.
    I don't really feel like I need to justify the combat--it's amazing. It's not Assassin's Creed: I've played every main AC entry since Renaissance. Assassin's Creed wishes it was this good. Controls are tight, impact is so satisfying, and being able to change the difficulty any time gives you a real sense of mastery. It's easy to get overwhelmed, which is why sometimes the less honorable option is the only way. Still, you aren't forced to take the easy option most of the time so even if it's harder, you can just slice through enemies like a pure blooded samurai.
    The story is great, the gameplay is great, the history is inaccurate but treated with respect, and the game is clearly made with love and inspiration. I'm glad this game is daring to put Japanese history and tradition front and center without being fantasy or over-the-top waifu bait. Not only do I hope this encourages more westerners to appreciate the majesty of Japanese culture but also encourage Japanese developers to share their culture and history with the works without worrying about how to "westernize" it.
    This is a skippable point but let's be honest, reviewers are mad that Last of Us 2 did poorly. They're mad Americans love and respect Japanese culture. I'm so tired of hearing about "white people" or "racism" when seeing reviews about this game; if you are worried, this game is in no way racist. It's crafted beautifully and it's well deserving of all the love and praise it's gotten. For any of it's minor flaws, few low scores have been fair to it and I think if they stopped hating it because it's Japanese history told by Americans, then they might actually enjoy themselves.

    This is game of the year for me.

    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.
