    Flamboyant graphics, realistic action, fresh game system. And the story of probability being existenthusiastic.
    I think it will be the best game of the year.

    Awesome game! Beautiful graphics and have a lot of content, and very respectful with the Asian culture and story, thats why this game is loved in Asia too. Good mechanics, everything is near perfection. Good job Sucker Punch, you deserve the GOTY.

    Outstanding game, enthralling story throughout all 3 acts with a great villain and fully enjoyable gameplay mechanics. The scenery and graphics are just stunning for a ps4 game, probably the best I've seen, it looks like a ps5 game. The game has a brilliant ending to top off an outstanding game. It simply is a must own for ps4 users. Xbox users are missing out big time!

    Лучший сюжет что я видел за последнее время! Да возможно местами она банален, но он что называется цепляет.. игровые механики тоже иниересны, есть конечно повторяющиеся квесты, типа освобождения деревень, но без этого мало кто обходится в последнне время. В общем лучшее из того сто я играл за последний год, пожалуй.Лучший сюжет что я видел за последнее время!

    I'm a "casual gamer". I don't have a PS4 but upon release I knew I had to play this game - so I made arrangements to make it possible!
    The short version is that this game was a whole experience for me. It isn't groundbreaking, but what it does, it does so well! The gameplay, the story, the world, the combat, the pace, the acting, the soundtrack - the beauty!

    The short version is that this game was a whole experience for me. It isn't groundbreaking, but what it does, it does so well! The gameplay, the story, the world, the combat, the pace, the acting, the soundtrack - the beauty!

    There is no grind, which often can be the case with these kinds of games, and every progress happens naturally and follows the story. Skills and gear and outfits are given to you through missions, improved as you go along - you'll find that you'll have gathered enough resources to upgrade and keep up - and it really allows the player to focus on the story, instead of stressing about money, resources and LEVEL!
    I opted for the English version, so I wasn't looking at the subtitles at the bottom of the screen, but could just look at the visuals as I was riding a long the road getting a briefing by my companion. The actors did a great job, really sucked me into the emotions of this already enthralling story. The characters are fleshed out and I don't remember ever being bored with them. I really like Jin as a character, and I preferred the more stoic and calm performance Daisuke delivers, over the slightly more aggressive Japanese performance by Kazuya (both great performances though). I'll be listing them all so I'll just conclude: I liked them all!
    The story is good and well-written. They stuck to the themes that have been the core of good storytelling since the dawn of... storytelling. Which was a very smart thing to do because it works, and will never not work. It's not "cliché", it's human.
    The combat in this game is the best combat in a game like this, I've ever experienced. You feel the hits and the blows and the clashing of swords. You aren't hacking and slashing away on enemies, instead your weapon actually does damage, and you most definitely take damage. The fight animations are superb and there were times where I felt like such a badass, just hitting the right buttons, in perfect choreography.
    Here I should mention the only critique I can think of right now: THE CAMERA! In fights, especially when there are more than one enemy, it goes completely off. Swings away from your enemies so you're looking behind Jin instead of seeing the enemies that are attacking you from the front. Or it ends up blocked, in bushes or walls. I died a considerable number of times because of it.
    It's a beautiful game. It's quite realistic but also very stylised. It's a perfect balance. The world isn't oversaturated - in a field of grass, that's all there is. In a bamboo forest, that's all there is. and it totally works that way! I have played many other games where they went for realism, but with all the different textures and object thrown on top of each other to achieve it, it can end up looking overwhelming. In other words, the visual style and design of GoT is EASY to read (aesthetics, you know).
    The artistic freedom they took with this game works too. It not only makes the visual experience so great, but it also helps the pace of the game a great deal - they really just allowed themselves to focus on what's important (the experience) and ignore the technical aspects of every single thing. Playing GoT I have been reminded that artistic freedom when employed in fiction set in real history definitely has it's strengths, and shouldn't be deemed to be of poor quality because something wasn't historically correct. I'm a history buff and I didn't care - I was a samurai in Japan. I didn't care about the four seasons happening all at once either. Had the game been bad I probably would though. My point is that these artistic freedoms expanded and improved the overall experience.

    There are so many things to point out, that others have done so well so I won't even try - but I have to mention the soundtrack. It is absolutely beautiful! And the way that it is used throughout the game is great. It isn't constantly playing in the background as you explore Tsushima, so you don't become "deaf" to it. That makes it extra powerful when you're watching this thrilling, or moving cutscene, and one of the epic tracks starts playing! The main story, with the cutscenes and the music, really made me feel like I was in this epic tale (or well, in a movie!).

    To sum it up, I wanted to write 3 lines to leave a score here, clearly I couldn't help myself - and I'm currently playing this game a second time, still enjoying it. The Sucker Punch team did an amazing job!    … Expand

If there is an assassins creed based in Japan I'm not gonna buy it cause it will feel like a poorly made rip off of this game. There is so much depth and detail and passion put into this game like it honestly is a very very very top tier game. A++ from.me

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. this is a great game. it is honestly a game i'm going to play over and over again. to quote Upper Echelon Games "predictable isn't bad", . Im going to say this, a horse made me feel more character then all of the last of us 2 which i still think is a great game. the combat amazing with all the ways you can approach a situation, the story feels fresh and relevant and the music is great. some problems i've had with other games that have huge maps is lack of content, i'm sure others will agree with me ex. ac odyssey. this game does not have that problem it has a great mix of side activities which are all scenic and provide great world building. When jin refuses his uncles adoption wish i almost cried. this game made me almost cry. The dark path you see jin going down in his journey to becoming the ghost is sad and you no he's wrong to be so cruel but you understand all he wants is to save his home. You wish you could stop him but it's impossible he's made up his mind and he will do whatever it takes to save those he loves. The khan is also a great villain. originally you see him you think is a ruthless killer with no motivations other than greed and lust but then he turns into a complex character and you can understand him, he feels overshadowed by the accomplishments of his family and wishes to prove himself. when jin starts on his journey to becoming the ghost you can see similarities between him and the khan but as the story progresses you can see just how different the 2 are. one driven to survive the other to conquer. One desperate the other cunning. One enraged the other collected. they are the same side of a different coin. At the end jin is able to move past his hatred and conquer the khan who could not move past his willingness to prove himself which ends up killing him. Know i want to talk about the duels. These are great atmospheric treats and are a great tribute to the late Akira Kurosawa. If one nitpick i have i wish the duels had different shots to keep it interesting but its not that important and does not affect my overall experience with the game. If you have 70 bucks on your hand i recommend getting the digital deluxe because the added content is worth it for early game. but if not then get the regular edition its still a must play for ps4 and samurai fans alike. While it doesn't have the photo realistic graphics of the last of us pt 2 or the best stealth mechanics I've seen it is game greater then the sum of its parts.

    When you stack PS4 releases these past two years and compare, Ghost of Tsushima comes out on top and Last of Us 2 can't compare.

It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it still feels like it has its own identity and it holds up to the high standards of games like Rdr 2. Map is just the right size, with more than enough main and side quests. Sucker Punch didn't want to include all the interacting animayions, which made the game more fluid, less tedious with all the box-opening, plant-picking, which is pretty common nowadays. I hope they will make more games like this!… Expand

    All around beautiful game and experience. Unforgettable. It gets you pumped with spectacular music and sound and intriging combat and brings you to a calm with amazing breathtaking visuals. It influenced me to read a lot, educate myself further about the cultures and places and times that the game takes place around ..if only school could have pulled me in the same way.

The stealth reminds me of the old Assassins creed games that I loved and even though I prefer though non sneaky way it’s still fun, though at times it does feel forced than it was of an option.

    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.
