    After the huge fail of TLOU2 I think a lot of gamers waited for this game a long time. And give it a positive bombing 10/10. To be fair - this is a really GOOD game, but not a 10/10. Let's write Ubisoft on the cover instead of SP - I'll bet it would get a solid 6/10. It's a generic open world which looks stunning - I'll give it that. And it's also my fatigue of open world games too. ItAfter the huge fail of TLOU2 I think a lot of gamers waited for this game a long time. And give it a positive bombing 10/10.

It's a generic open world which looks stunning - I'll give it that. And it's also my fatigue of open world games too. It needs to be better than that to kick me in 2020.

    The setting is cool, the combat is okayish....but I didn't like the camera in narrow spaces - you'll get killed a lot because of the camera and the missing lock-on system, which is really annoying! Aside from that the side quests and loot-mechanics, talent systems etc. pp. are all like in 2015 - nothing new as I said. I hope it comes to pc to unlock the full potential of this beautiful game. At least there are no politics in this game and no lootboxes, this alone is a +2 today. Sad but true.

    So Nioh 2 keeps the No. 1 game for me this year and cannot be beaten by any other I think (no also not by CP2077 because I hate FPS). Nioh 2 has the best combat system in any game so far, waaaay better than Sekiro or DS3, Bloodborne. GOTY for me.

    This game in one word "Amazing". I compare this game with The Witcher 3, the diference, samurais. The graphics and the videogame in general are so incredible. At the begining not thought buy, because the games of stealth they are not my thing, but, this is adaptes at your style of game. For my 10/10.

    As of now, this is my GOTY.

    Let's start with the weaker aspect. Story was passable but not very relatable, especially towards the character. There was a lot of missed opportunity in character building and story-telling, like the epic battle with Masako could have been a great conflict moment but the only plus point was the epic background scenery during that fight. Other than those

There was a lot of missed opportunity in character building and story-telling, like the epic battle with Masako could have been a great conflict moment but the only plus point was the epic background scenery during that fight.

    Other than those mentioned, I think the game excels at all other areas.
    Graphic, weather and environment: Mesmerizing.
    Character design, the world building ( realistic ancient Japan setting +++) and the showcase of the Japanese culture: Well presented.
    Stealth: great tools with acceptable AIs, felt like a Ninja doing them.
    Exploration: lots of activities that are meaningful and not too repetitive. Totally uplifted by the super awesome scenery.
    Melee Combat: my favourite part of the game. Improved and inspired by Souls-Bourne but with their own unique twist. Swinging the blade as Jin feels like a total badass.

    Sucker Punch is approaching this game with more of a down to earth setting but very cinematic presentation. Definitely Kurosawa inspired but it works really great as the game's major element. This makes each standoff, dual and boss fight epic AF.

    Definitely play this game. I bought my PS4 for this and God of War. Both of them totally lived up to my expectation.

    Just to be fair, I have been exclusively playing Ghost of Tsushima since launch, nothing else.
    The time period of this game is amazing because we really haven’t had a game set in this time. Yes, you have games like Ninja Gaiden, but that is more of good guys vs demons. Tsushima is not about demons. It’s about man vs man and the conquering of territories.
    What’s great about this game?

    What’s great about this game? The environment. That’s pretty much it. Again, since we never had a game focused during this time period, Sucker Punch did a great job at recreating the landscape.

    What’s bad about the game? Hell, where do I start.

    1) There are points of the game where graphics are very flat. There are no textures whatsoever. You traverse a mountainside and all you see is a flat side. Come on, where’s the person that had that one job to create rocky landscape?

    2) Jin, the main character, is pretty much emotionless throughout the game. You tell him that the town is on fire and his reaction would be, “cool story, bro,” without any facial expressions. All other NPCs emotions are reactionary to what’s happening, which is good.

    3) Character animation can be bad. If you remember in one of the NBA games, you can scan your face and superimpose it on a player so it looks like you’re playing in the game, but your face is all stretched out and whacky looking. Yeah, that’s what a majority of the character’s faces looks like.

    4) You can clearly see elements of other games in Tsushima. What I mean by that, you can spot elements from Assassin’s Creed, Batman, Shadow of Modor, and other open-world games. The ONLY thing that makes this game different than any other game is the time period that the game is set in. Other than that, nothing new original.

    5) Dont get me started on the camera. It's god awful because there are times my sight would be blocked by a building, tree, rock, or something that should go opaque, but never does. Such a rookie mistake.

    With all the above said, this game is clearly NOT a Game of the Year contender nor is it a game of the generation. People saying this are stating this because it’s a new shiny new game and they’ve pretty much got bored and completed all other PS4 exclusives.

    My Verdict: If you’re interested in this game, wait for it to land in the 19.99 and under bin at your local Big Lots. If you're planning to get the PS5 later this year, I would say wait for the PS5 version since Sony will most likely make you pay full retail for the same game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why does every game nowadays have to attempt to cram every genre into it? I just want a good hack and slash. The open world formula and constant walking between undiscovered areas gets old too. The combat and stealth are great, but unskippable cutscenes kill replay value and make the game far longer than it really is; typical Sony. Not even that impressed with the story. The whole conflict over marching straight into the enemy while extremely outnumbered versus sneaking around is ****

    Other issues:
    **** finding clues and following footprints. I want proper UI **** clearly showing me where to go next.
    **** the weather and constantly working in dark, rain, etc. Realism isn't that important. Let us turn that **** off.
    **** platforming. Seriously. I'm here to be a samurai, not a goddamn acrobat/rock climber/whatever the **** Who keeps insisting on including that bull**** in every game? Getting to the shrines is just annoying.

    Bottom line: Unskippable cutscenes and lack of NG+ is ridiculous in 2020. The devs should be ashamed.

    The point of this review is to advise a potential buyer whether this is a good enough game to purchase. After just beating the game yesterday (Not 100% for the game though), I cannot recommend this game enough.

    The point of this review is to advise a potential buyer whether this is a good enough game to purchase. After just beating the game yesterday (Not 100% for the game though), I cannot recommend this game enough.

    The game is visually stunning! I found myself stopping to use the photo mode, and that's coming from someone who hardly ever uses that feature, everything was given attention to detail. The animations are very fluid in combat. The trees and grass blowing with the wind, the armor your character wears, etc. I constantly found myself amazed even towards the end of the game.

    The controls are very intuitive, finally a game that takes advantage of the touchpad for the DS4, I only hope that more games take this approach. You can swipe up on the touchpad to see where you need to go, or press it to go into stealth mode, or right to sheathe/unsheathe your sword. I love this feature and hope PS5 takes advantage of the DS5 controller like this game did for the DS4 controller.

    The combat is the meat and potatoes of this game, and it does not fail to impress. There is a learning curve to mastering combat, not dark souls or Sekiro, but still challenging all the way to the end. There are so many techniques to learn and master. The ability to switch stances to counter a specific enemy type (spearman, shield, brute, sword) have a great impact on your ability to defeat your opponents. The standoff mode is also very fun, you must wait for your opponent to strike, but sometimes the enemy will faint an attack, if you swing it'll cost you most of your health. However, if you succeed, the killing is satisfying. Plus, there are upgrades that allow you to chain your kills in standoff, making it extremely helpful in taking out as many enemies as possible in the beginning of combat.

    The stealth is where this game has issues (combined with some stupid AI), although luckily this game (with exception of certain missions) allows you to take on the game head on or try to sneak around and kill them quietly. I will say that stealth gets better as you learn new techniques and upgrade your weapons, however I found myself using the standoff mode. It's still fun, but not nearly as great as facing the enemy head on like a Samurai.

    I loved the story, I'll try to keep it spoiler free, but it is based on one of the Mongol invasions of the 1200s. Your character is trying to free Tsushima, all while internally struggling with the tactics he uses to defeat them. As it was frowned upon for a Samurai to be "sneaking around like a thief"(actual quote from the game), he must use what he can to free the island from the Mongols. A very gripping story that brings out some very memorable moments.

    Side quests are not great but are better than most open world games. Although the lack of HUD in this game helps with exploration of the Island, instead being guided by the wind and pillars of smoke. Sometimes you'll come across a fox and follow him to a shrine to unlock more slots for charms (useful ability boosters). Other times it'll revolve around helping a villager. The side stories luckily all tie into the main story. Which helps the story, because you get to know each of your companions and see that they too are human and go through struggles in their quest to repel the invasion. You see their worst, and their best, in their in personal struggles. Something that few games do well.

    In summary, Ghost of Tsushima is a great end to the PS4 generation. It takes the stale open world genre and refines it. The storytelling is by far one of the best I’ve seen all the way to the end. The combat is extremely satisfying, taking on varying enemies forcing you to adapt to each enemy type on the fly. A mostly HUD free game that allows the play to take in the visuals without any distractions. A quick loading system for fast travel and dying gives us a small glimpse of what PS5 will offer (I look forward to playing the PS5 version). With exception to how stealth is done in this game, along with some small bugs. This game is a must buy for anyone looking for a historically based Japanese Samurai game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go liberate Tsushima from the mongels.

I immediately noticed, after a few hours of play, Ghost of Tsushima has a lot of Zelda BotW DNA in it, and that's terrific. The combat is tight, dynamic and challenging, especially if played on hard difficulty. With tight gameplay, impressive performance going along with boundary pushing graphics and art direction, this game is the perfect capstone to the PS4's exclusive library as it seeks to move on to the next generation of consoles. This is a game of exceptional quality that continues to surprise me and leave me staring in wonder at the gorgeous vistas all throughout Tsushima. The most ambitious part of this whole package, to me, is the lack of any sort of level gating for missions and content. Rather than increasing difficulty by bloating the stats of enemies in a leveling system, they instead become more specialized, have more tricks up their sleeve and use more aggressive tactics the further you progress in the game. The progression is instead tied to Jin unlocking new tricks of his own and improving his own skills as you explore the island throughout the game. It creates a sense of true progression that feels rewarding, thematic and appropriate for the setting of the game. This is the most impressive game I've played in a long time. I recommend this to anyone who has a passing interest in it. i'm excited to count Sucker Punch along side CD Project Red, FromSoftware, Guerrilla Games and Id Software as a company who's work outshines the rest.

Rated 10 because the only way I could come up with problems this game has was by sitting down and having to think hard and even then they were very minor issues.

    I've played this game for about 10 hours. A solid 9-9.5/10 giving it a ten to counter the people who have it a bad review. Love the wind guiding system and the birds bringing you to points of interest. Absolutely amazing sceneries and really fun gameplay! Will update when I finish the game . Awwww job sucker punch I love it!

    It's not below a 9/10. If you're reading the 0/10 reviews you are feeding the trolls. The game is stunning to look at, fun to play and a joy to explore. The camera can get a bit wonky during combat but it's tolerable. 20hrs in and barely scratched the surface. If you like open world games then step right up. You will not regret it.

The environment and they way you interact with others is pretty accurate like how you pass your hands through the tall grass and bond with other animals. People have said that he doesn't show emotion towards people but i would imagine its because hes a samurai and he keeps his emotions in checks, so I do not know why many you tubers or other critics criticizes that because it is just logical and in the main character does mention it. I did finish the game I only have about 6 side quest remaining and a few places to explore but overall the game is amazing. The combat system is so well made. you cant just go into a fight expecting to win, you must be attentive to every warriors movement because sometimes they just switch up the attacks. I noticed that in each district the mongols attack are very different almost like they evolved and know your movements. Ghost of Tsushima is just so well made that you can read all the reviews look at all the amazing scores but its one of those games where you have to get it because its just so beautiful to understand what people are saying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Best game ever, I have been playing video games for almost my whole life and honestly this is the first game in awhile (since maybe when Bioshock released) that I've played that has really immersed and amazed me. This is the most beautiful looking game i have ever played, i caught myself just sitting and looking around the world many times instead of playing because the scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

    The cut-scenes look stunning and are well directed and acted for both the Japanese and English voices, however lip syncing was done for the English version so it looks bad with the Japanese audio so there's that. The game-play is addicting, managing to be challenging enough without feeling unfair, feels satisfying when you are able to take on groups of enemies parrying and changing stances on the fly especially without taking damage.

    The stealth for me was serviceable if not a little easy however it feels like something they can patch and fix, luckily i didn't have many problems or bugs like a few others may have had.

    The narrative is really intriguing if you are into Japanese samurai culture and even if you aren't this game may get you interested, each character is well written and believable, especially the protagonist Jin who's actions throughout the game conflict with his samurai code, his way of life and cause problems.

    The side content is unique and just as interesting as the main story and if you love collectibles this game has you covered in spades with many of them spread throughout the map. The costumes and weapons as well as the skins you can get for them are really well designed and fun to collect too, first game in a long time that doesn't charge you for all the cosmetics.

    All in all this is a game well worth it's asking price, filled with fun content, a stunning world to explore, great game-play loop, respectful to the culture and history it is portraying (taking inspiration from classic samurai films by Akira Kurosawa and the like, loved Kurosawa mode) and is a perfect game to end this generation of PlayStation on. Sucker Punch made something special here and really gave their all so they deserve great praise for it. Only thing i hope they add in is a New Game Plus+ mode where you can replay and keep all cosmetics, upgrades and collectibles to have a fun and chill, cathartic play-through.

The story is great and will you entertained, the characters are for the most part well written. The side quests are divided into 3 types, which include normal side quests, multi part character side quests, and finally mythic side quests, and all are enjoyable(especially mythic side quests). The AI can be dumb at times, and the game does have a few bugs and glitches, but none of which will hamper your gameplay.
    Overall, Ghost of Tsushima is a must buy for all PS4 owners, and will definitely bring more recognition to Sucker Punch Studios.

    Only real negative is the frame rate. This game needs 60 fps. It could be because I'm playing on an original PS4, but the frame rate seems really janky at some points. With that said, the game play is ridiculously fun and the story is enough to keep me wanting to play, but nothing really special.

    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.
