    Flawless game in every way, great graphics, fluid combat, engaging and fascinating story. Small technical errors in no way hinder the great immersive and fun experience of the game, it surprised me too much.

    Ghost of Tsushima is arguably Sony’s last hurrah before moving into the next generation. Thinking back to the original PS4 and its specs, it is incredible that a game like Ghost of Tsushima is able to run on such dated hardware, and yet offer a new, beautiful experience.

    The art style and direction are impeccably done. It stays true to the Japanese culture and is visually eye popping.    Ghost of Tsushima is arguably Sony’s last hurrah before moving into the next generation. Thinking back to the original PS4 and its specs, it is incredible that a game like Ghost of Tsushima is able to run on such dated hardware, and yet offer a new, beautiful experience.

    The art style and direction are impeccably done. It stays true to the Japanese culture and is visually eye popping. For reference, I completed GoT on a PS4 Pro at 4K. As you explore the map, you will note that each section has its own distinct feel. And whilst we are on the map, let’s talk about fast travelling. It is insane to see what Sucker Punch managed to deliver here when confined to standard hard drive speeds. After completing Spider-Man, I couldn’t help but wish the PS5 was here now so I didn’t have suffer any more long loading screens. However, Ghost of Tsushima manages to make this experience significantly less painful and it is an impressive feat. Many open-world games can suffer from pacing issues when long loading times are introduced, but this is simply not the case in GoT.

    The way you navigate around the map to your mission destinations and side-quests is very well done. Sucker Punch clearly intended for an uncluttered HUD experience, which is a great decision as it offers very little distraction and allows you to focus on the amazing art style. To navigate, a ‘guiding wind’ appears on screen, which is visualised by the trees and grasses blowing in your specified direction. It is elegant and simple, and something that I wish more open-world games would consider.

    The fighting can be challenging, but hugely rewarding. This is not a hack and slash game, and nor should it be. I played this game on the challenging mode, which was brilliant. You have 4 stances you can take (technically 5, but I’ll say no more), and each stance is effective against a type of enemy. It works very well and is fluid. Perfect parrys and dodges will reward you with more effective takedowns and high damage. Alternatively, you can abandon the way of the Samuari and take on an assassin approach. Or, you can just settle with a bow and arrow. GoT really lends itself to different play styles and it is done incredibly well. You do not feel pressured to follow a particular path, and there are multiple outfits which offer bonuses for your desired play style. It can be as varied as you want it to be. I would occasionally swap between master assassin, samurai or as an archer. It kept the fighting and experience fresh.

    My only criticism at this stage is the plethora of shortcut menus to access your kit and styles. Whilst I found the stances easier to navigate, I found choosing the kit less intuitive. I often went through long periods of the game not using certain items as I simply forgot which button combination it was and it would otherwise ruin the flow. Towards the end however I had just about managed to select all my equipment based on muscle memory. It may be worth spending some time getting used to this so you get the full experience.

    The storyline is very compelling, as you would expect from a Sony exclusive. What struck me more, however, was that the side-questions were wonderfully done and incorporated. In many open-world games (I’m looking at you Horizon and Spider-Man), the side-quests often felt like a chore or tacked on. GoT doesn’t suffer this, they are very well incorporated and feel very much part of the world.

    There is so much more I could say about this game. I held off for awhile as I was hoping the price would fall. However, Lockdown blues made me take the plunge and I am so glad I did. It is perhaps one of the best and most unique games I’ve played on the PS4. I tend to be apprehensive about open-world games as I find they can be in some instances torturous in length and pacing (RDR2 for instance), but I just couldn’t put this game down. I have yet to try out the multiplayer Legends mode, but I hear good things.

    If you have been lucky enough to preorder a PS5, I would personally wait to play GoT on your new machine. In 60 FPS, this game is going to shine even brighter.    … Expand

    The best samurai game I have played so far. Amazing art style and graphics, good historical accuracy making you feel like you are in medieval Japan, good animations and a good story. But the fantastic combat game-play and better stealth than AC games is what truly makes this game a 10/10.

The side quests can be sometimes boring, but they are all different and unique from each other. SOMETHING THAT UBISOFT DOES NOT BLOODY UNDERSTAND. The game world is just so beautiful it is an orgasm for your eyes. I promise you that you will spend a good chunk of time with the in game camera because its just so beautiful. The story starts of well in act 1 but then flat lines at the portion of recruiting allies. But once you end act 1. The story JUST TAKES OFF MAN. And the ending OOOOOHHHH MY GOOOODDDDD. Its just written so well. And do not get me started on combat. IT IS BLOODY GREAT MATE. You are Jin Sakai a lone samurai and you grow the legendary tale of the GHOST. And mate the combat just bloody reinforces the feeling of being legendary. The combat is smooth and gory and glorious. You feel like an absolute storm running and slaughtering through enemy encampments and bases. Its is just BLOODY WOOOWOW. You also have the opportunity of completing mythical tales that give the player the opportunity to get mythical move sets in combat and mythical armor. And all that mythical gear and tales. SO GODDAMN WORTH IT MATE. It is absolutely amazing how a small studio like sucker punch can wipe their arse on a huge studio like Ubisoft in a genre where Ubisoft is a seasoned veteran. And SP absolutely SHARTED ON UBISOFT. I had very low hopes for this game in the beginning but I am glad that I am wrong. Well Done Sucker Punch you guys are absolutely Amazing. Not only have you just made a Masterpiece of a single player game but also a coop game. You guys are the kings of 2020 games.… Expand

    I don’t play open world games because I get lost and easily frustrated. I’m 10 hours into Ghost of Tsushima and haven’t had that problem once. This is such a fun and addicting game. I’m not particularly into samurais or Japanese culture in general but as the story progresses, I became invested and I can’t deny just how cool the moves are in this game.

    As amazing as this game looks and as hooked as I am on the story, what really addicted me was the fights. The combat in this game is fantastic! I love learning new stances and new moves but even the basic block+attack strategy is so much fun. My favorite part of this game are the one on one showdowns... the samurai shodowns if you will ;) The strategy and camera work is next level.

    This game has a lot of stealth too. You can play it how you want for the most part. Go in guns ablazin’ (if you’re good enough) or stealth or chip away at the enemy forces by attack and retreat tactics. There are some parts of the game that force stealth but overall you can play it however.

    The only other stealth game I’ve played is Metal Gear Solid 1 on PS1 back in the day. So I won’t comment on it, other than to say that I enjoy it and am inexperienced with stealth in games.

    There are a lot of cut scenes and dialogue. I’m not sure if it’s skippable b/c I haven’t tried. To me, it’s all necessary for the plot and many side plots and don’t see any filler.

    This is the game that’s making me start paying attention to open world games again. Although I may have trouble finding another one as fun and visually stunning as this is. My sympathies to the Xbox owners out there. If you’re a PS4/PS4 owner then you should absolutely buy it.    … Expand

I was encouraged by reviews and decided to log in. I would like to start by saying I typically game 2-4 hours per week. This game is so good I have cleared twenty hours already.

    As you will see in almost all other reviews, the game is beautiful, the user interface is refreshing, the gameplay it strong, and the open world is rich. But what I wanted to write a review for was the writing. This is the first game I have played in years where I actually cared about the NPCs. The writing for side quest characters is so good that I have been avoiding main story arc just to immerse myself more in the island and its people.

    For example (this paragraph contains spoilers of a side quest, skip to next paragraph if you wish to continue reading without spoilers), after vanquishing a small city from the Mongols you hear from a local that his neighbor has been sneaking out at night. As you investigate it appears that this neighbor is stealing from the shrine. You follow him to a group of homes which appears is filled with bandits. As they discuss the most recent idol they found, they explain they are going to "bury it with the others" you follow them, and when you reach the burial ground, you realize they are burying these items to protect them from future Mongol invasions, in fact, they have been protecting peasants from Mongol raiders. As you bring them back to the city for fortified protection, the neighbor who reported this activity is at the gates shooing away peasants calling them thieves and bandits. Of course you step in and grant them entrance.

    Honestly, when you play side missions as described in the paragraph above, it is deep and enthralling. Everyone you meet has their own motivations and intentions and they are played out beautifully. There are many serious characters and there are some funny ones along the way, like the drunken Sake merchant who literally had me laughing out loud at several of his quests arcs.

    I love this game, I love the story, I love the side characters and NPCs, I love the visuals, and I love the combat, which punishes for not using mechanics and gives a true feeling of accomplishment when utilized to its potential.

    If you love story driven games, this is honestly the best open world game for you.    … Expand

Majority of the time I'd trust the user review score over the critic ratings, except for a few rare occasions (The Last of Us 2) they better reflect how good the game is. Moving on to the actual game. I'll start with combat. It starts off pretty great as you learn and get used to the basic controls and to me is so cool. You genuinely feel finesse and satisfaction as you fight battle enemies breaking there gued and then as you finish them you will have an almost set animation where he trips the enemy up after stabbing them, oh slices there chest as you stay in the pose just to make it more baddass . You fight many enemies at a time at points and there is lots of variety. As you progress through the story or explore the world you will comes across different types of enemies who can make you want to take a different approach in killing them. You could shoot at range with a bow, fight head first or stealth kill them. When fighting multiple people you can very seamlessly switch between opponets to parey ther attacks as they attack you at once, parrying leaves the enemy open for a combo and if you get attacked mid combo you can parry the other opponent where you can either continue your combo agaisnt them or finish the original opponent… Expand

    Simply amazing. The atmosphere makes the player feels all the emotions during the gameplay. Of course uses mechanics and other stuff from other games, but Ghost of Tsushima still unique and viciant. If you love Samurai movies, Asian culture, this game is obrigatory.

Even the repetitive objectives, didn’t feel repetitive. Granted I am a Japanophile; Ghost of South Korea would have scored a solid 8.5

If you get used to it and understand how to fight then it gets very fluent but no matter how good you are if you don’t pay attention then you can get killed by a normal soldier within few strikes. That make it so awesome. Jin is such a great character and the story is written very well. Had some moments where I was speechless. All in all this game is a must play and it’s worth every penny. Also the multiplayer is fun as hell. Great game.… Expand

    Fantastic game from start to finish. The first open world game I ever platinum'd as I wanted to keep exploring forever.

    Scenes are beautifully cut as if straight from samurai cinema. And you can get lost whilst heading to your destination because of interesting things along the way.

    A truly stunning world that will show you the true potential of the ps4.

The world feels very alive as you will pretty much always see peasants getting attacked by the enemy and you have the choice to save them. You could also liberate enemy bases to give those peasants a new home. The characters in this game are also very well written. The side quests also has a lot of meaning to them but some of them are very similar to each other but it was still fun doing them so it wasn’t that bad. I never expected this game to give you so many armor sets and tools to allow you to decide how you want to play. There are armor sets that boost things like stealth, melee damage, or make your other weapons stronger. I definitely recommend this game.… Expand

Or, they have crappy combat system that is MEH. Yes, I'm talking about Witcher 3 or GTA V. Their shooting mechanics or sword fight is just MEH. Recently, The Last of Us Part 2 got GOTY award. I did not like TLOU 1.. Combat system was MEH, story was MEH, just not that exciting game. So I doubt that part 2 is all of sudden an amazing experience. Not to mention reviews from many youtubers i have seen as well. Still, it won GOTY. SOOOOO PISSED. SOOO MESSED UP. Reflects what real gamers think not journalist who are not gamers.… 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.
