    I must say right away - the gameplay is mediocre. Standard Ubisoft with towers. But the atmosphere is 10 out of 10. A beautiful and juicy picture. The plot is in the style of samurai films of old japan ... I really liked the game and deserves its assessment.

    Just finished act one after non stop play since Friday. Amazing game! Sure some stuff is familiar but gameplay and graphics are amazing. Mainstream critics won’t like it as much because it doesn’t feature prominent LGBTQ alphabet people. Cry me a river then comment ritualistic suicide in river :) best game of 2020!

    I don't usually rate games but I really wanted to support it for great efforts put in this game. The graphics, gameplay, soundtracks, character improvements in this game are so fresh among other games that came out recently. I've played it since it came out and except for minor bugs (that do not disturb gameplay one bit), I don't think there is anything I can criticize it for.

    Finished 1st act, did a lot of side quests, the game looks amazing, feels amazing, it is rough in the begining in my opinion but once you spend some technique points in the samurai skill tree the fighting gets really awesome. Love the minimalist UI and no minimap by default. Graphics, audio, voice acting is amazing too. GJ

    Probably the best and most immersive open world combat I have experienced in this generation. Compelling story and a well done Japanese dub. No quest feels like a chore; moreover you end up pursuing side content because you want to engage with the world as much as possible. What an end to a generation.

    First of all, I'd like to say thank you to Sucker Punch for putting in so much effort and dedication in making this game. From the first scene of Jin riding through the tall grass, this game got me having goosebumps.

From the first scene of Jin riding through the tall grass, this game got me having goosebumps.

    I love the story of the game, I'm about 10 hours into the game at Act 2, and as serious toned and some hiccups in the story, the general scheme of things in the big picture, I love the story very much. I'm not going to delve into it much to prevent spoilers.

    The gameplay was a massive surprise to me, I was someone who saw the first trailer of the game and was like oh god here we go again another Assassin's Creed. However once I started playing the actual combat, I fell in love. It incorporates so many systems and melds them superbly together. Using stuff from Sekiro, Nioh, Arkham Asylum, Assassin's Creed, I'm not gonna fault them or said they copied, cause THIS ISN'T A BLATANT COPY, they refined it, balanced the combat out, and my oh my was it satisfying, every second of the game I'm looking forward to combat. And the showdown mechanic, I thought it'll get old, like I thought nah I'll get used to it and it's gonna be my cheese tactic, but it requires a surprising amount of concentration, enemies in the later missions start to fake you out more, and they may attack almost immediately, and it really keeps you on your toes!

    The stealth however, is lackluster, I have to admit the AI for stealth is so easily cheesed it's almost laughable. Enemies can see a ton of dead bodies on the floor, give a shout, and return to their positions, and I'm playing the game on hard. And the bow is almost overpowered if you can land your headshots cause you'd be like an invisible ghost sniper where no one detects you. What I found preferable was playing a mix of both stealth and combat.

    I wanna talk about the Haiku Composition, this is my favorite part of Ghosts of Tsushima. What?! Haiku?! Yeah, I absolutely love this feature of the game. I felt emotionally attached to every Haiku I "composed". The music during the composition, the ambient sounds of water, birds, leaves rustling, everything came together, and some Haiku had me holding back a manly tear. Such a simple feature, but it gave me such a great immersion in the game. This made the game so special in my heart.

    I also love how the game, is.. A GAME. Some open world games or recent releases are trying to mix too much real life into games. I do not want to spend 2mins trying to pick up an item, I do not want to get off my horse, watch an animation to pick my item up, get back on my horse. I know some have complained about the horse clipping through the thick forest sometimes, how it goes through some bamboos, I DO NOT MIND, rather than getting stuck on every single bamboo shoot or tree stump or rock, or riding of a teeny curb and falling off the horse, this game keeps it moving. It respects my time as a player and not make it a chore to play, if i wanted complete realism I would not be playing a game. I love it then I'm constantly moving, constantly making progress, and not taking 10-15mins to run from one objective to another.

    The graphics, but in short, i would say the graphics are magical, I like that it isn't too realistic, but the attention to detail, the particle effects, I feel like I'm transported into another world, and that's what gaming is all about. I've spent hours in the photo-mode, taking pictures of the biomes. And that takes me to the biomes as well, none of the environments are copy and paste, yes there are the same buildings and stuff, but they are all placed very differently, and every new area i go to, I feel like i'm actually going somewhere new, and that's a feat for an open world game!

    I did encounter some bugs, none of them game breaking, none took me out of the experience and none detracted me from completing a level. The checkpoint system in this game is amazing, and I would like to praise the quick loading times as well, sometimes a little too fast I really hope they add a "press X to continue" feature, I can see they put effort in drawing the art for the loading screen tips, and I'd love to read them and appreciate them, so Sucker Punch please give us a chance to do so!

    All in all, this game delivers on what they set out to do. It is a samurai game, it makes me feel like a samurai, it makes me feel like I'm in Japan (yes I have visited Japan 4 times). This game holds a special place in my heart, alongside Sekiro, Nioh, Onimusha and Tenchu. Thank you Sucker Punch, we love it, thank you :)

    Note: 10/10 not because it is perfect, but because this game is special, unique in it's own ways, and I'll probably remember this experience for the rest of my life.    … Expand

I've literally spent the last 5 days exploring the first section of the map and seeing what can be seen, defending the people of Tsushima from roving bands of Mongols, finding collectables and basically just enjoying being in the world that Sucker Punch has created. The combat is incredibly enjoyable, the main story as well as the stories for all of the side missions are well written and engaging and the graphics are absolutely phenomenal. There's just two things that I have a problem with. One is the sound in black and white mode. For some reason they thought it was a good idea to make it mono rather than leaving the sound the same as it was in the rest of the game. It damages the gameplay experience when you can't hear enemies behind you.

    The second thing is the leveling is too quick. I've only just started act 2 and I've already completely leveled all of my weapons, gear and storage that I have, and have almost completely leveled my character. Like I must be at least 3/4 of the way to completely finishing the leveling of my character and I've got at least 2/3 of the game to go. That's partially my fault because I've literally explored every corner of the first part of the map, but I feel that it's still too fast I shouldn't be as developed as I am at this point in the game. Other than that the game's perfect in my opinion.    … Expand

    Amazing open world, the best open world to explore in a game so far, from beautiful orange trees to rain in Misty marshes, every 10 minutes I found myself taking a picture because it just looked great. Story was very interesting and the side missions were very high quality, have spent over 30 hours so far and could easily play this for 30 more.

    Excellent game.

    This game hits everything i want from an open world game, given you like the theme. For me easily a GotY contender. What i liked - the open world: not too big, not too small, good amount to do, but not too much) - the wind / no waypoints - draw distance: for a ps4, thats more than impressive - no pop ups, you see whats coming - graphics: easily one if not the best    Excellent game.

    - itemization: you can upgrade all items, but its not like you are chasing numbers. each upgrade has a real impact
    - music: the soundtrack is really really amazing

Can’t say that this is a big trouble for me, but actually there aren’t many unique and interesting mechanics, which is disappointing. But the main problem is firstly about the loss of role play. Pretty much all the important choices are made without your interruption, which is a huge minus for an RPG. What’s more, the plot is really boring, it has nothing exciting in it: bad Mongols, good Japanese, tough-cruel mongol warrior, and of course, the revenge. All in all, the game is only interesting for those, who like Japan and its culture, otherwise you can see a copypast of the Ubisoft trash… Expand

The combat feels like a more satisfying version of For Honor with a bit of Arkham stealth mechanics sprinkled in for good measure.

I really enjoyed the combat stance mechanic I found it fun and intuitive in design. The use of wind and color makes world traversal an absolute joy rather than a chore. The only negative I have been able to find is that the mouths' of the characters, when speaking are sometimes a bit off. However this is when the selected language is Japanese and I am not sure whether it seems off to me because I am not Japanese myself and not familiar with how to speak or enunciate in Japanese. This is the first game that had me actively wandering the open world looking for fox dens just to give the little fellows a good head pat for their hard work (10/10 best feature).

    Świetne walki, ale można "zepsuć grę" po prostu chodząc na jakiś dach gdzie przeciwnik nie wejdzie, kucnąć i po chwili zeskoczyć ▲ zabijając od tak 3 przeciwników.
    Natknąłem się na kilka zabawnych bugów gdzie np postać odbija się plecami od ziemi jak od trampoliny.

    I bought this game on release day and have been playing with it for about 3 to 4 hours a day now, and I am taking my time to do all the side quests and find all the hidden location.
    I am still on the first of the 3 territories and I am happy to know that I still have a lot of gameplay to go through. The    I made a Metacritic account so I could give this game a solid well-deserved 9/10.

    I am still on the first of the 3 territories and I am happy to know that I still have a lot of gameplay to go through.

    The only couple of reasons that I don't like about the game are:
    1. The main character Jin Sakai, he is not really memorable, he doesn't feel that emotional when he speaks most of the time. But that can be because he is a samurai, so that might have to do with his upbringing.(Still haven't completed the game, so it might change later).

    2. The kunai, they are too OP, even on HARD mode, which I am playing it at. If you upgrade your kunai, you can even use 3 of them with 1 button click, and do double damage if you upgrade again.
    Every enemy gets staggered when they get hit, even the leaders and the big guys with the shields. I hope this changes later on, or else you can just cheese through some portions of the game.
    (Still haven't completed the game, so it might change later).

    3. The horse, although you are able to fight on the horse, it is useless if you get to get in sword range, the AI can just make the horse fall with one hit.
    (Still haven't completed the game, so it might change later).

    In other people's reviews I see them complaining about the camera. Although I can understand that the camera can feel clunky sometimes, it is necessary that the camera moves like that. It is because the AI tends to surround you, so you can't focus on one person or direction at all times.

    This is one of those games that makes me happy I bought a PS4 for the exclusives, and I hope that Sucker Punch Productions makes a sequel that might take place in the Sengoku Jidai era.    … 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.
