    This is my first review, but had to make an account cause this game is so good.

    Completely immersive. How is this game not getting 10/10 from every critic??

    Might be my favorite ps4 game.

    Having a blast with this game! Fast loading times, yet great graphics. Also not an insanely big map so that it feels overwhelming. Instead, enough to explore, do and enjoy every little detail of it. AI not always the brightest, but hoping they will patch this.

    I don't give this a 10 lightly and I more subscribe to the notion that 10/10 scores don't necessarily mean a game is absolutely perfect - more that its exceptional in my opinion in and has pretty much everything covered, with only the smallest gripes you might consider here or there - and even in those cases probably boil down to preference.

    For starters I am really happy that this game didn't turn out to be a Dark Souls type of game, not that I have anything against those, just that for me personally I'm terrible at those types of games no matter how much I practice, and I'm by no means a skill-less gamer, Dark Souls style simply isn't my strength. For me the difficulty feels fair, you wont easily take out scores and scores of enemies in a smallish location like you can in Assassin's Creed games however with careful and thoughtful execution you can still mix it up in a small skirmish of enemies - mixing a range of attacks like jumping from your horse into a strike on an enemy, throwing an explosive, shooting a bow and/or unleashing a flurry of strikes with your samurai sword for example. There is no lock on to enemy targets and occasionally depending on terrain and situation this has worked against me in a pinch, however I can imagine and experienced many more problems with constantly having to lock on to enemies in other games.
    The scenery and graphics are gorgeous, its surreal going from a lethal furious burst of a duel or battle scene to the peaceful experience of looking around and seeing leaves floating about, wind blowing, sunlight glistening through the trees and rolling hills.
    I have heard some negativity around open worlds, if a game is a great game and has good content I don't see how that can't be done well in an open world and for me this game succeeds. There are no markers etc and instead you get an organic feel with wind blowing in the direction you have marked on the map or the current tale you are doing guides you in.
    The progression system is rewarding and you never feel like you haven't earned something or get given things too easily or even too quickly. I began playing this game while having a lot of unplayed games in my back catalogue, or half played games, so only a few hours in although I was enjoying the cinematics and style of the game I wasn't rushing back to it, something I get with most of my new games, simply from the paralysis of having too much to choose from, however as I kept playing it, a few more hours in and I just found myself hooked.
    I have read some criticisms - one of which was the voice acting and story not being great. While I don't expect any technical marvel of a video game to also have a Shakespearean story to match, I have by no means found the story not to be engaging or to not care about the characters in it. While the voice acting of the main character and perhaps others can sometimes come across a bit bland, it could simply be a reflection of how they talked, the tone, and style of the time, its not immersion breaking to me to the point that I don't feel like the main character isn't committed to his goals. I highly recommend this game :)    … Expand

Through playing i couldnt find any negatives, the mechanics can be a little wonky and the rag doll can be silly, but this games positives overwhlem the negatives.

    The love and compassion SuckerPunch put into this game, is astonishing. Basically this game is an open world Samurai movie with you as the Hero. I strongly recommend this game for gamers.

    Pros:
    - Great setting in feudal Japan
    - Incredible visuals
    - Great music
    - Fluid and challenging combat
    - Simplistic HUD
    - Great and rewarding exploration
    - Great open world
    - Great storytelling
    - One of the best quest staging I ever saw
    - Intense emotional attachment to Jin

    Cons:
    - Some minor bugs/glitches

    I have to admit, I am a fanboy. I got the Platinum Trophy. But I simply can't think of anything tedious or bad in this game. Not one time in my 50 hour journey I had this well known open world feeling of being overwhelmed by the size and question marks on the map.

    I am not a big fun of open world game, I consider the busy bee side quests boring and repetitive but GoT was a pleasant surprise, far better than any other game of this kind and all together it is an excellent IMHO.
    It is important to know there is no level gating, no microtransaction, no season passes no XP boosters, nothing of the sort, you can do what you want, when you want as long as you progress forward with the main quest.

Ghost of Tsushima sets itself apart from modern games and brings back some of it's beauty and gameplay from previous Way-of-The-Samurai style games, with the style and technical benefits of 2020's best.

    The story is average at best. Each cutscene bore me a bit, especially since they cannot be skipped. The whole story is very clichéd and about a knight in white armor who saves the world. Some people may like it, I don't buy it. I didn't care about a single character, not a single tragic death made an impression on me. Everything in the story seems very artificial: the characters' emotions, their motivations or their dialogues.

    The combat system is very satisfying. I regret that the stealth system does not give as much satisfaction, I do not know what it results from, but stealth in this game works moderately.

The diversity of the environment is something not many open world games achieve so effortlessly and the tight controls make interacting with the world as catchy as it should be. The world feels alive and everywhere little stories are told through the environment to reinforce the theme of the mongol invasion. I was never particularly interested in feudal japan but Sucker Punch managed to create such an intriguing and interesting world that I find myself exploring every bit and being amazed by the lore, the architecture, the technology, the culture and so on.

    The gameplay is amazing. I love how Sucker Punch chose to make navigation almost entirely diegetic. It feels like you're really exploring Tsushima, without ruining the immersion because a new marker popped up on the UI. The activities itself are nothing special for a modern open world game but I got hooked many times by the interesting and mysterious story of a side quests.
    Important characters are introduced through quest chains which are interesting and well done.

    The underlying systems work very well together and create meaningful game loops that make you want to participate in every activity the game offers. I like the customization even tho I would have wished for more performance based progression in the form of gear. You can unlock many abilities throughout your playthrough that alter your playstyle significantly.
    The stealth is ok, the combat is flawless. This is the only game that manages to achieve the feeling of being a powerful samurai warrior. Challenging foes and killing them with precise strikes and perfectly timed parries was never that satisfying. The controls are responsive and snappy which is absolutely mandatory for a game like this.

    The art direction and technical execution is breathtaking. When I travel by horse I almost never ride fast because I want to take in the beautiful scenery. There were so many moments that made me stop and just enjoy the fidelity and the beauty of the environment. Some particular scenes were so beautiful that I remember them very clearly, like riding through an orange forest, leaves falling down and the light on the edge of that forest glowing like it wanted me to know where I had to go.

    I'm sure I forgot some things but I think you get what I'm trying to say. Sucker Punch did a phenomenal job and I hope they get the success they deserve. Congrats on a nearly perfect game.    … Expand

    -glitches and any bugs were patched one day one from my experience I didn't see any
    - a very long game that had a story with a great pace
    -fun side quest that didn't feel like I had to go out of my way not repetitive either except for the hostage missions which were annoying
    cons
    - the camera i know i listed the camera as a pro but the same reason its a pro is the same reason its a con because they went for a very pretty looking camera that was more cinematic it made for a very poor game camera constantly had enemies swarm me in getting in the way and with the lack of lock on this made a problem same with going in and out of tents
    -the voice acting was kinda bland for some people in English it felt like they were in a studio instead of actually there in Tsushima
    -lack of replayability its an amazing game but its not something you do more than once so for some people this isn't worth the 60 dollars (gaming is an expensive hobby especially single player)
    -while the game is fun and combat is great the game doesn't really make me feel like a ghost of Tsushima stealth should of been the best way for many missions but it didnt seem as powerful or as useful as just putting on your strongest armor and challenging them to a standoff
    - i went in expecting to be a reaper of death ninja and became a god of war that could hide in a bush    … Expand

    The comparisons to Assassin's Creed do not do this game justice. If you have even a passing interest in samurai fiction this is worth checking out.

And don't you dare use the wrong stance against an enemy or it will pause combat for 10 seconds, force you to switch stances, then pop up hints saying why a certain stance is good against certain enemies even though you are 2/3rds of the way through the game.

    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.
