    This is what videogames should be all about. Beautiful environment, amazing story, great character development. Gameplay is unbelievably awesome, you feel like a badass samurai or a merciless ninja all the time! Play this game!

    Truly an outstanding game. It feels like an assassin's creed game better writing. The story isn't anything new, but it is executed beautifully. Beautiful is a word that can be used a lot throughout the game, from the soundtrack, to the scenery and even the character customization. Suckerpunch have outdone themselves.

    Sucker Punch came in clutch once again, as they always seem to do. There was one bad Sly game, and it's the one they didn't make.

I had high hopes for this game, given who worked on it, and I was not diappointed. I know I'm beating a dead horse, but I agree that this game feels like what modern Assassin's Creed should be. This game takes the Assassin's Creed formula, gives it a cool setting that hasn't been done in that series, and gives you a reasonable amount of things to do. I think one of my favorite parts of the game was how they put a good amount of content into it, but didn't make the world feel barren or cluttered. That balance is almost always flawed in similar games, but I felt like this one really made sure to space things out in such a way that you weren't wandering aimlessly through the world looking for something to do, but you weren't stuck looking for 100 feathers and other useless collectibles, either. Almost everything presented to you as a player is designed to help you get stronger by playing the game and exploring. You feel much better by the end of the game than you were in the beginning, and with different play styles, why you are stronger by the end is somewhat up to player choice. I could go on about this game forever, but it's 2 in the morning. Please play it if you haven't already. This is my pick for GotY 2020, and with how positive the reviews for it look, I think many agree. Expand

    It's the execution of the game that takes my breath away. You can have a fun combat game, a beautiful game design, and also a good story, but to put that all together in a way that is cohesive, and reinforcing itself so that its meaning is always clear and shining forth, that's mastery of the art of story-driven gaming.

    One of the best stories I've ever seen, in television, in movies, in games. But it wouldn't have had its special touch if it weren't also a game, which molds its narrative in fluid ways, influencing the way you experience and think things through. For those who say games can't tell meaningful stories, they're dead wrong.

And man, did these folks deliver! Ghost Of Tsushima is a respectful bow to Japan's flourishing, diverse culture and even though they took some liberties in regards to historical accuracy, it's all coming together in a fitting and immersive, bombastic experience of the Mongolian invasion during the kamakura period on Tsushima island. This is the samurai/ronin/ninja experience we've all been waiting for. I especially have to praise the many different customization options of the protagonist and a complete lack of in-game purchases.

    I loved it, I’m here after they added the free DLC update and I have to say, it’s way better than for honor or any EA game. If EA were to release a dlc like this they would make us pay 30 dollars for it, 5 dollars for the outfits, 2.99 for the charms and stuff and they’d probably chuck in a 20 dollar Battle pass.

It knows how to reuse mechanics and fundamentals established by other licenses, and give them its own personal touch. And what a touch. It's not just an Assassin's Creed in Japan: it has its own visual code and almost cinematographic atmosphere, and the sublime island of Tsushima naturally replaces some of the interface elements. The whole game is infused with poetry, which is rather bold for a mainstream title. However, we regret the big weaknesses on a few fundamental points, as it lacks variety regarding the points of interest, the fights and especially the duels, which, combined with an ill-fitting difficulty, wearied us at the end. Nevertheless, it remains a very good experience and a game full of personality Expand

    Amazing and breathtaking game. If poetry was a game, this is it. A great story that is engaging and emotional. It has a couple of gut-punching moments that really makes its mark.

    Design wise, this game is one of the most beautiful and artsy game ever.

    I think the graphics are less realistic looking than, say, Red Dead Redemption 2, but it is much more stilistic and beautiful. The use of colour is stunning and the world plays into the fantasies of stunning flower fields and trees with gorgeous falling leaves. It fuels the desire to immerse yourself into the samurai lifestyle.

    the gameplay is fun, fluid, flexible (as you can change many aspects), and not punishing. There are´nt as many mission types as one might expect I.E. there are many Offenses on forts, trailing missions, following with dialouge, defending allies, but not much more. I still found it compelling enough to play through it 3 times.

    The story goes to places one might not expect and is really bold in setting up philosophical differences between Jin and his uncle. Every decision Jin makes backed up by emotional attachments to characters and fundamental chracter traits that are cashing really hard. JIn is a chracter that is stuck between his honour as a samurai and his desire to save the ones he loves and his island. A very nuanced exploraion of saccrifice, death and life. One might find that they disagree with Jins decisions but that is only healthy when it is as nuanced and conflicting a situation.
    I only found one really annoying situation that made no sense but it mattered little to the overall story. it had to do with the Kahn and another member trying an alternative strategi to taking jin down which was really stupid.

    This is one of the best games ever made in my opinion, and it is a mostplay.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a masterpiece of gaming and one of the best games of its generation.

    Control
    GoS has excellent controls and some of the best sword combat ever made. Incorporating actual kendo/iaido techniques this game is the closest thing to having a real samurai experience there is so far in any video game. The inventory/weapon selection system takes some time to get used to but before long, becomes second nature.

    Graphics
    GoS has some of the best the graphics on any console, and is probably tied with Red Dead Redemption 2 as the best looking game for the PS4. GoS has a very unique and beautiful art style that really enhances the atmosphere and the immersion.

    Sound
    The music perfectly fit’s the atmosphere and sounds much like what you would expect from a samurai film. Sound effects, like striking with the katana, have the appropriate sound/feel of weight.

    Story
    GoS’s has an excellent story. The plot revolves around bushido and the conflict that arises when strict adherence to that code prevents the protagonist, Jin, form being able to defend his homeland. The secondary characters have a number of quests that I was genuinely interested in following.

    Rarely have I played a game as enjoyable and well-made as Ghost of Tsushima. The attention to detail is truly impressive and the result is the very best in quality (and fun) in all areas.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sucker Punch got it right, again, after years of seclusion, without making big releases, or inconclusive announcements, (as is the case with CD P Red).
    The successful game company like Infamous, considered one of the exclusives that started Sony's dominance over the console gaming market, reached the RAPTURE OF PERFECTION, successfully.
    Breaking records, showing a new type of gameplay, using the best of the console, having beautiful landscapes, an attractive story, a beautiful soundtrack, hot springs, and foxes, yes, foxes, birds and dogs ....
    "But do you have to kill dogs?" No, the game allows you to RECRUIT THE DOGS Rather than KILL THEM, see, this is not a great idea?
    Playing Ghost Of Tsushima is better than killing dogs, in a dysfunctional world, full of dubious creatures, poorly rendered, with the story of a cowardly girl, Joel was wrong, too late, humans.
    Anyway, returning to the game of the year, with 90% approval from video game users, Ghost Of Tsushima is chosen as Sony's most profitable game of the year in years
    With an advantage, the game was released, (it was announced, and released, without LONG delays)

Overall this is easily in my top 3 PS4 games of all time, maybe even being number 1. I was originally planning on rating it 9/10 but after I played Legends the game proved itself to me as amazing. I don't really have enough words to describe how good this experience is, please buy it to show the game industry how well a game can succeed with good ethical developers behind it. Lastly, thank you so much to Sucker Punch for such a curveball of an incredible game and please continue making games with this kind of integrity. Almost unbelievable, thank you Sucker Punch! Expand

    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.
