    小缺點有一些，但不影響遊戲進行樂趣，

    看得出官方為了避免玩家挫折、作業感，

    設計了很多方便的設定，

    畫面風景優美，

    更重要的是，總監對玩家很Nice

The reason why I didn't give the game a 10 is because there are some rough edges that could have been fixed. For example, when characters are engaged in a dialogue, the lip animation does not match with the dialogues for both English and Japanese. It would have been really good if they did so. Additionally, there were portions of the game that faced glitches thus starting the scene again.

    Other than these 2 thorns, the game is really well made and I am loving it.    … Expand

    Excellent game! Better than I was expecting. The combat is probably the best 3rd person sword play I've played, ever! Graphics are a really good capture of Japan. Haven't finished yet but am looking forward to the 2nd one already.

    The game is fun and interesting!
    pro: great combat system, fluent actions, interesting stories and side missions;
    con: the collection systems seems tedious to me, especially when you do it for trophies.
    To conclude, I like it!

Sucker punch promised us a great game, and they didn’t disappoint whatsoever. The combat in this game is flawless, it’s actually complex and a lot of thought has to go into it, it requires skill. It’s not just button mashing, you will not be good at combat the first time you try it, it will take a while and that’s what I love about it, you can’t keep your eye away from the screen during combat because Jin is just human, this guy can’t take much hits. Only problem with combat would be the camera angle, sometimes you can’t see yourself or your enemy. But other than that it’s fantastic. The story of this game is nothing special but that’s not a bad thing. The story is great, it works very well, it is very well paced and very well written and I was really interested in the characters and what would happen next. The story isn’t that long, you could probably finish it in 2 days if you only focused on it, but that’s not a bad thing either. Stealth in ghost of tsushima is amazing, not because it just feels super satisfying, but because you have a dozen options of approaches when it comes to stealth, there are so many approaches in stealth, you can climb up to rooftops, crawl under building, go through broken windows, take an enemy out from the other side of the door and bring him in with Your katana. There is so much variation, it never gets boring. This game really shines in the side actives and the world. The world is absolutely gorgeous and I have never seen anything like it before. I really took my time when it came to exploring the world because I wanted to appreciate it. Sucker punch put an insane amount of effort into creating this world and I cannot praise them enough. Now let’s talk about side quests/activities. There are A LOT of side quests, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot, completing all the side objectives there is in the game will probably take longer than completing the story from the looks of it. There are a lot of different side quests and all of them are insanely fun. Finding the shrines is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in this game because of the amazing parkour that you have to do to get there, and there are a lot of shrines. These shrines also reward you with charms which you can put on your katana for extra benefits. Hot springs are places where Jin relaxes to reflect on 1 of 2 things that you get to pick, once you’re done with that it gives you a little increase to your maximum health, there is literally character development in one of the most simple things in the game. Cutting down bamboo is surprisingly really fun and can be challenging at times. You have to press a certain combination of buttons to complete it in a very short period of time but completing them will give you extra resolve. Now, mongol camps. I know a lot of people will think that they’re boring, but no. I don’t do the mongol camps because it’s on my map, I do them because they are a ton of fun, I have so much fun doing them and I just keep doing more. I never ignore any fights. They’re that fun. Side missions in this game are a lot and all of them mean something, they’re not just random missions, they reward you and they all have a backstory to them that’ll keep you interested. Upgradability in this game might be a bit overwhelming at first because there’s so much to upgrade like: your armor, your katana, your tanto, your bow, your throwables and then you also have the skill tree(s), there are multiple skill trees, ones for mythic tales which give you very powerful special abilities by completing a certain mission. There is the deflection skill tree which gives you skills for deflection. Evasion, an individual skill tree for all 4 stances, An individual skill tree for all your throwables, the ghost abilities skill tree, and the exploration skill tree. And the only other thing that kind of bothered me (this is very nit picky by the way) was there were too many cuts/black screens. The game loads faster than any game I’ve played recently too, you’ll barely be able to read the tips, it’s that fast. And that’s about it for this review. If you’re on the fence for this game, please do yourself a huge favour and buy it.… Expand

    Most people gave this game a 10 because of graphics, but graphics alone don’t make the game, Ghost of Tsushima is Assassins Creed Odyssey set in Japan with mildly better graphics, nothing ground breaking here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am so happy with this game which is a must-play undisputed masterpiece of its own, that I played from launch day and haven't take a rest since then. You have to experience it. This game is not only for "play", is to live it. This game stands alone. It is not an Assassin's Creed "copy" whatsoever. I have played 12 AC in my life, both Altaïr-Ezio era (counter easy game), Edward-Shay-Arno-Jacob-Evie (enemies queueing to attack you once you are ready with a long killing animation after pres X), and the RPG era (Origens, Oddysey and the need for leveling up) and Ubisoft would dream of doing something so well crafted on regards this combat system. It's so random, so unexpected and changing, you have brutes, ferocious dogs, heavy shield armored enemies, double blades, katanas, spears, archers, and all in a mix of everything can happen. You will be killed in seconds if you are not in focus. Standoffs are uniques. You have 4 ways of clashing swords and you have shinobi abilities. This game also cannot be compared to Sekiro. I have played Sekiro (platinumed, it's in my top 5 of beloved games, 7 NG+), so I acknowledge that Sekiro is yet harder, but Ghost of Tsushima has its own way of satisfaction. Boss fights are epic, fast, agile, strong, and intimidating but in a human way. You won't fight a big dragon here, nor a big monkey either, yet you will be stressed with the boss fight pace as in Sekiro, but If you die, you won't lose your progress points as in DS/Sekiro, and you can play GoT in story-easy mode. I'm playing blind (haven't seen a video at all, and in hard mode). It drags you down to his immersive word with no effort, but again the combat system!, I'm amazed! For normal enemies, you have to play safely as you cannot engage with 3 guys at the same time (however you can do standoff and there is an update that will allow you to make an amazing streak with it, but this is your choice, not the games one). On the verge of having your blood pressure about to explode and your adrenaline at its peak, yet you reflect and have time to chase birds and foxes, pray and pay honors, write poetry and take hot tube bats. It is so well scripted, the missions are insane, so unique stand-alone scripted with historical accuracy. It's the perfect fantasy. A strong community is now being born, people wanting to play honorably (hahaha), others wanted the easy stealth approach. I'm playing a mix of if with my eyes closed. The game forces you to play stealthy some missions, others as an honorable Samurai. This is the best way from Sony to say goodbye to the PS4. I don't know what else to tell you, people. I'm just lost in this playthrough.… Expand

    TLDR: If you LIKE assassins creed then you will LOVE this game. There are some problems but if you liked games like AC Origins and AC Odyssey, you wont find said problems to be bothersome.

    I wont talk about specific story spoilers but I will make vague references that you might not want to hear about. No actual spoilers but it will be something vague like "the second half wasn't as good"    TLDR: If you LIKE assassins creed then you will LOVE this game. There are some problems but if you liked games like AC Origins and AC Odyssey, you wont find said problems to be bothersome.

    I wont talk about specific story spoilers but I will make vague references that you might not want to hear about. No actual spoilers but it will be something vague like "the second half wasn't as good" so yeah.

    That being said, lemme explain myself:

    The Good-
    The world is amazing. It's not a huge world but the game sure makes it feel like it. It is smaller than most (insert d1ck joke here) but it is filled with things to do and even in the empty areas of the world, the actual beauty of the world itself makes up for it. There are small interactions freely in the world like being able to pay respects to dead bodies or crouching off of the edge of cliffs for a cool picture in the extremely accommodating photo mode.

    The story is pretty good, its definitely on the better end of above average and there are many surprises in the story itself so if you though that you could tell exactly what the game was going to be about based on trailers or the first part of a lets play you saw or something, trust me- even though you dont know me-, you will not be disappointed.

    The combat is very good. Its not very difficult to learn so if you thought that if was going to be annoyingly difficult then don't worry. It does go both ways though and if you do want the challenge, im sure the hard difficulty will accommodate you. Its the perfect blend of complexity and accessibility- not too easy, not too hard. The duel sections are challenging at first but once you get a hang of the controls, you will actually want to engage in these duels more and more as they are extremely satisfying to pull off first try.

    I dont really want to mention all of the pros because as numerous as they may be, I do want to mention the bad and iffy parts.

    The Bad-
    There are slight narrative problems with the world and story but I WILL NOT MENTION SPOILERS

    Lets start with the story

    You do really get hyped for the story and it has a few set-pieces that take full advantage of the concept but the last of the three acts of the game are not nearly as exciting as the first 2. Its still good but the 2nd act is way better. Thinking on it now, the 3rd act isn't even bad, it only feels that way to me because the game was building up the story because the 1st act was good and the 2nd act was even better. The ramp up ends there and the third act is just as good as the first so idk, if you buy it, you will know what I mean.

    The world is amazing, probably the best looking and most beautiful that I have played up to date but, like with the story, there is a ramp up in the world that flattens one you get to the last 3rd of the map. You see, the map unlocks with the acts story so as you progress through the story, you also progress through the world. The problem is that the last act brings you the most boring province- as I like to call it. Unlike the story, the last act provides a much worse province than the first act. Completely covered in snow, the last province offers nothing interesting in the world in terms of aesthetics . There is still the same variety of things to do in the world but the actual look takes a hit.

    those were the pros and cons so yeah 9/10

The world may not be as “alive” as RDR2 but being in this world I’m so immersed. My take on the story:
    The story i found very cool! It’s a very cut and dry (no pun intended) samurai story, but boy does is this story told well. The side quest literally are so well told that they are mixed into the main story. Without spoiling it, the story is very cool and fun to get through.

    My take on the combat:
    The combat I find to be very dynamic which I think is a must. Pretty much every single fight is a cinematic masterpiece there’s always something in a fight that will make you feel “awesome” afterwards. There’s duels in this game that send chills down your spine when you see jin (the main character) push his sword out of his sheath right before the fight begins! Then upgrade system is super fun! 4 different stances, 20 plus moves you can unlock, a bunch of special stealth and combat gadgets to unlock! All in all I’m gonna give it a 9/10 I don’t remember a game that made me feel so epic when playing it... I think the last game I felt that way was sekiro! This game is fun, immersive, dynamic, and beautiful! Get it. Play it. Love it.    … Expand

While the opening is a little tepid, especially after the hype, when the world opens up after the first couple hours, GHOST begins to take on a life of its own. Instead of the map being littered with question marks and way points, the story and your exploration opens up new places to go. And each little quest and story is delicately drawn, you immediately are drawn in. Sucker Punch lovingly recreates 13th century Japan. You can tell there was a lot of thoughtful consideration taken from the recreation of architecture to how the story is told through the world itself.

    Speaking of this, many open world games get this wrong. Sucker Punch has chosen to craft its game world to TELL the story - showing the aftermath of the Mongol invasion through the charred landscape and villages. The stylized graphics are breathtaking as the color choices invoke mood time and again. The added Kurosawa mode allows you to imagine yourself in THE SEVEN SAMURAI or any number of 50s and 60s classics by the Japanese director. A nice touch, but as others have said, you're depriving yourself of the magnificent color choices if you play through in that mode.

    As far as the combat, it's not a SOULS-type game, but close to Arkham-style, which is great because there are so many upgrade options available to make combat interesting and awesome to watch and take part it in. The stealth, "ghost" option is nice, too, but is pretty standard AC-style fare. What this game does is really push forward the notion of what open world games can do. Especially in how the map is revealed to the player, how way points are handled (the wind shows you the way), and how even the smallest side quests are handled with care to push the main story forward. Also, one doesn't have to play all side quests - this is not an RPG.

    I'm not really one to care too much for a game's story, but in this case, it's well done. It might not be as great as some of the inspiration it takes from (see: Kurosawa's films), but it is a loving homage to that era and genre of Japanese film.

    The highlights of GHOST are the beautiful world, fun combat, and the exploration, which takes notes from Nintendo's BREATH OF THE WILD.

    After fifteen hours, I can say, this game is top-tier, and Sony and Sucker Punch can be proud to end the PS4 era on such a high note.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is beautiful, combat is amazing and so diverse you dont get tired of it, with a lot of customization, and legendary armor/abilities to acquire and feel like a complete badass. Ive taken more pictures in this game than in real life lmao. Unlike other games that try to look as realistic as possible, GOS looks almost like a beautiful painting everywhere you go, its just gorgeous. The game isnt perfect with some repetitive mission structures, a few bugs here and there (although not game breaking or too bad at all) and some camera issues when fighting in close quarters with no lock on, but you can get over those easily bc everything else is great. For 60 bucks with no BS and micro transactions an easy 9.5 rounded to a 10 from me.… Expand

    When I first I heard about the game I had mixed feelings. I really liked what I saw in the trailers but the other sucker punch games weren’t my type of games. But now after I beat the game I have to say that it’s nearly a perfect game for me. The visuals are absolutely stunning, the gameplay is nothing completely new but perfectly made and the story is really good for an open world game.When I first I heard about the game I had mixed feelings.

But the biggest points for me is the game as a whole itself. It feels like there is a perfect amount of everything. Today the average open world game makes you to collect find all the points on the map and often fails to benefit you for it. I think for me it’s the first game in a long time where I wasn’t bored in any moment. There’s little thinks that could be done better but these are all things where I think there wasn’t enough budget for it.

    So in the end I have to say that to this point it’s the best game of the year and the best game on PS4.

    Particle effects - the best this generation.

    The Ghost of Tsushima is one of the greatest games to come out for the PS4, the gameplay is fantastic with amazing graphics that compete with its own E3 demo back in 2018, the combat is some of the best I have ever seen in how fluid the motions are when fighting against each and every opponent you may come across and with how every “Battle” feels like there is something At stake.

The lighting is pure cinematic greatness without overdoing it with crazy bloom effects. Lastly another good idea the developers had was to use a minimal hud to really let you take in the architecture of the ancient Japanese world and all the beautiful trees and flowers and just let you take in the environment to let you feels like you are in a real time period it is not a perfect game as no game is perfect or anything in media is perfect it still is a very easy 9/10 for me.… Expand

    The graphics are amazing, but it's more than just the graphics it's the artistic touch to everything. It just pulls you into the game, and just makes you want to look and stare at everything around you.

    The audio and sounds are amazing, so much so that they captivate you and the sound are lush and vibrant. I didn't think I would ever explain sounds in such a way. For instance, when you are standing in a meadow with the wind blowing, it feels like your are there and it is so calming. The same thing happens when your stand next to water streams, it just moves you with it's sounds.

    The gameplay is amazing and so fun, I don't generally get this hooked with a game outside of some Zelda games. It really does seem like it has something for everyone.

    The sword play really makes me feel like a samurai and sometimes like a ninja, and other times I feel like Zoro from One Piece lol. The only thing I could complain about with the gameplay is during certain event when you have a helper and they take your kills lol, they are way to good at their AI jobs lol. Not really a negative, just me saying I wanted that extra samurai slice lol. Honestly, I wish the AI was this helpful in other games I've played. I don't beat all of the games I play and for the ones I do, I don't replay them, well outside of some Zelda games. So if I beat the game and I replay it, it deserves a 10/10 in my eyes. But for now it is a 9/10. There are some minor issues with the camera angles when in fights, and with the navigation system, but again they are minor and you get use to them.

For every thing sucker punch has gotten right with their new IP they've completely missed the mark on two others.

    Some examples:

    1) An incredibly complex and well crafted progressive combat system. The problem here is that the game is so painfully easy on even the hardest difficulty that there is almost no need for such a combat system making it a waste of effort on the developers part. The only times i died after the first couple of hours has always been due to the camera issues. Which brings me to the second problem with the combat...the absolutely horrible camera angles. All the enemy types and boss fights can be breezed through with absolutely no effort whatsoever, as long as the camera doesn't decide to screw you over. Indoor fighting? Out of the question. Coming close to any object in the world mid fight? Completely blocks the camera. You dodge an enemy and get behind him? Better hope you can turn the camera fast enough before he counter attacks. And the list goes on and on with the camera issues.

    2) The world is incredibly well crafted both graphically as well as exploration wise. The navigation mechanics are very original, unique and unlike any other game. So what's the issue here? Well if you want to make an aggressive build for you character you get all the best gear that you need in the first 3 hours of the game. Effectively making any exploration for better gear obsolete. This turns the exploration into nothing more than xp farming to get new skills unlocked. Which are all skills that make an already incredibly easy game even easier.

    3) The story is very well written when you look at the dialog and character development. The English voice acting isn't top of the line by any means but is more than adequate and far above the average for most games. But every step of the way when progressing through both the main storyline as well as the side quests, more and more plot holes are added. And worst of all, everything is extremely predictable down to the tiniest details. You will see everything coming from a mile away. Not just simply with the main plot twists, but even within each individual dialog between characters you can predict every single sentence that will be said before they actually say it.

    Overall great potential that completely missed the mark

I genuinely enjoyed it and loved riding on my horse viewing the beauty that this world had to offer. I fell in love with the combat since it had a similar parrying system like in the old assassins creed games. I love this system due to the fact that you can have some insane moments where you can just completely go on a tear and cut down your foes in style. From my experience, I will definitely be playing this game again on a harder difficulty once I have done every side quest in the game. Story-wise I really liked what they did in the ghost of Tsushima. What the Mongols do throughout the game is gruesome and horrific which built up my anger and hate towards them. I found myself connecting with people affected by this war and I was saddened by the personal experiences civilians went through in this game. The gameplay is enjoyable because there are so many ways that you can kill your opponents whether that is stealthy or just straight-up fighting or shooting down your enemies. The graphics in this game are breathtaking. I love the art style in this game and love the sound of the guiding winds and how realistically the environment reacts to the wind.

The stealth isnt anything revolutionary, but it's done well enough and it's fun using your tools. Some of the little things in this game are wonderful like how they made use of the touchpad and how certain things affect the weather. The level of armor and weapon customization is fantastic, including being able to make a focused build to suit your playstyle.

The whole story and its structure are also perfect for open-world game design. You never feel like stuff is just there so that you have something to do. Pretty much all of it is grounded in the world, its state, your status before the invasion, and so on...

    Combat mechanics and the whole gameplay are crafted perfectly. You start as a powerful warrior, but it isn't enough. You then learn how to deal with the Mongol army and their fighting styles and you learn the dishonorable ways of combat (aka progress is reasonably grounded in the lore).

    The game world uses inworld guidance (wind, birds, foxes) that help with the experience. Ability to call a horse while running, or pick up the things from the horseback are just a few quality of life improvements that add to the whole package. There is hardly anything that breaks the experience.

    Witcher has shown the world how a story and quests are supposed to be done in the open-world games. Horizon: Zero Dawn has shown how a combat can work and RDR2 has shown how great it can look and feel from the "real world that is lived in and believable" perspective. I truly feel like this game brings these titles into one extremely consistent experience.    … Expand

    All in all it is just a fun game. The combat system is amazing though takes some time to get use to. The game has a tendency to force you to learn along the way. the mix of stealth and sword play fits together very well. the story is like playing an old samurai movie. A must play if you like stuff like that.

    I purchased Ghost Of Tsushima Day One and got started playing A.S.A.P.. I purchased the physical copy of the game as a avid collector.

The land scape is ever changing with a fresh new way in dispersing vibrant colors in a very traditional way. Absolutely by far one of the best I have played in a long time. This isn’t your typical open world game.....( which I am burnt out on ) this is something rare and different that will pull you in and makes it very difficult to pull yourself out. Sucker Punch, I have been a gamer for 30 years so I would like to think I have the credibility in saying that you nailed it. Thank you for what you have done here. After the BS Naughty Dog pulled this was a true gift. I can’t wait to see what else is in store.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is pure magic. I can feel the Japanese tradition, the history, the honor, the sadness, the revenge. The graphic is very nice (I love how they show the nature effects) such as the combact paths ( stealth and pk). I hope for it the best 2020 game!… Expand

    Un pur chef d'oeuvre, un dépaysement total. C'est de l'assassin Creed en mieux, la crème de la crème.
    Graphiquement rien a dire, c'est LE jeu qui clôture cette génération.
    Scénaristiquement pas folichon, mais l'effet y est. La fin est très cool!
    Gameplay bien dynamique.
    Ost très bien travaillé.
    Une pure merveille malgré tout ces défauts.

    Such an amazing open world experience! The vast island of Tsushima is so well explored in this game. Art direction is superb with great use of colors and contrast. The combat has a weight to it and despite getting old a bit late in the game, it’s still a satisfying experience. Story wise, it isn’t the best, some characters aren’t very well developed as well as Jin, the main character,Such an amazing open world experience!

Story wise, it isn’t the best, some characters aren’t very well developed as well as Jin, the main character, sometimes is dull interacting with side npcs and their problems, but still a good tale to watch. Graphics and performance aren’t so good, specially if you’re playing on base ps4 like I did but it’s decent. Overall a great experience, definitely one of the best PlayStation exclusives out there.… Expand

    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.
