    I didn't have very high expectations for this game, I wasn't very excited for it but omg im so surprised by how good this game is, the story though lacking in some areas was overall great and I finished it being very satisfied. The combat is very good and engaging and can be really challenging sometimes. I am a big sucker for costumisation and the game did not disappoint on that front.I didn't have very high expectations for this game, I wasn't very excited for it but omg im so surprised by how good this game is, the story though lacking in some areas was overall great and I finished it being very satisfied.

    Thank you for this, Sucker punch. This game will remind you of a painting, in particular the bloom effect reminds me of Monet, who was going blind, therefore his lighting and colours would be beautifully blurry at times. Choosing not to care about today's feminist agenda, the "cultural appropriation" trash, together

    Choosing not to care about today's feminist agenda, the "cultural appropriation" trash, together with beating the crap out of the player, trusting the player not to be a SJW crybaby who will complain about difficulty... all of these creative decisions are acts of courage in and of themselves.

    Thank you for this, Sucker Punch. You have been courageous, and I hope, in return, you get all the love you deserve back.

    A jornada do herói de Jin é incrível, totalmente convidativa a explorar esse belíssimo universo retratando o Japão, sendo fiel a cultura japonesa em todos os aspectos. Ghost Of Tsushima é uma carta de amor Japão!

    I loved the game, it looks really nice, amd the combat is really good, i like the way the game tells you were to go and the armors are really cool, ( i havent finished the game but i like it very much) and i like the stealth gameplay it reminds me of assassins creed.

    Este juego fue una maravillosa sorpresa. Oí hablar de él mucho antes de que saliera pero no esperaba algo de esta magnitud. Visualmente es impresionante, lo mejor que he visto. No me canso de detenerme a contemplar el mundo que crearon. Y la mecánica de juego es muy buena, es entretenida y mejora a medida que avanza la historia. Muy bueno.

    The world created in this game by Sucker Punch studios in this game is strikingly beautiful and filled and filled with things to do (side quests and fun mini games) . The story although can be predictable but is great nonetheless. The combat that makes you feel like a badass but steath falls apart a little but a game where you can have for hours upon hours living the samurai/ghost life.

    Breathtaking graphics,compelling story,interesting main characters.All of that coupled along with a very interesting and refined gameplay. Some of its drawbacks are: Not the greatest enemy AI ,combat can be a bit junky sometimes and a repetitive gameplay loop. However it's a game worth playing as long as you have a ps4.

    The game is gorgeous. The scenery is lush and the lighting is amazing. There are going to be a good number of people who are going to spend hours in photo more. The sword play is good and learning new stances allows for some variability. It's certainly worth a play. It feels like a proper send off for the PS4.

    The story and characters are really well done and the open world is great to explore, but the best part of it all is the combat, the game has a few glitches, but their not bad enough to take away from the game.

    Prós: Ambientação lindíssima, gráficos em sua grande parte excepcionais, história envolvente, personagens carismáticos, mecânica de combate fluída e intuitiva*, trilha sonora digna de filme de Hollywood, lugares lindos a serem explorados.

    Contras: Alguns bugs esporádicos com NPCs, texturas em alguns momentos ficam horríveis (geralmente em diálogos). Física dos personagens em atividades diversas ficaram toscas (dos combates ficaram boas). Câmera com posicionamento ruim nos combates. E por fim o alerta de que os inimigos te viram ficou muito lerdo (as vezes vc passa quase na frente dele e não é visto).

    Oportunidades de melhoria: Na questão dos combates poderiam melhorar a responsividade da direção dos ataques, de vez enquanto o personagem ataca o vento e perde o foco, prejudicando a experiência. Melhorar a situação da IA dos inimigos e a fluidez de movimentos corporais dos personagens (estão muito robotizados).

    First 5 seconds into the game I knew I wanted to play it no matter what. I would have given a 10/10 if the Japanese voice synced with the animation, a great option to have though but unfortunately, it did not give me an "authentic experience" as the English voice was genuine enough ( with a bit of a western-style )

    Ghost of Tsushima feels perhaps a little too ambitious for the PS4 and often feels like it wanted to be more but current gen limitations keeping it from doing so. I imagine a PS5 or PC version would make this game legendary. Very beautiful game, well told story and fun combat kept me hooked regardless. I highly recommend Ghost of Tsushima.

    What makes a game 10/10? Not perfection because every game has its flaws. Then what? If the game is addictive, and you cannot put it down, then it is in this category. GoT gives so much fun and satisfaction that it is really hard to put down, so it is this kind of game. In the recent years I had two favourites: God of War 4 and RDR2, but GoT now is the third.

GoT gives so much fun and satisfaction that it is really hard to put down, so it is this kind of game. In the recent years I had two favourites: God of War 4 and RDR2, but GoT now is the third.
    Addictive because of:
    - the combat system (start with minimal techniques and tools, gives depth gradually)
    - the graphics is not as detailed as in RdR2, but Sucker Punch found an artistic approach (beatiful colors, particles, smoke, mist, sunrays, flowers and trees) that gives an astonishing result overall. It is an artistic masterpiece without a doubt
    - the story is a real Samurai story with genuine characters (no politics pushed in any way)
    - Jin is a likeable character who tries to live based on a moral code, saving the Island and Japan
    - if you play it on hard it gives more satisfaction, especially the duels
    - the side quests are really good (there is a lot) and some of them reward you well (eg mythical movements)
    - There are real strong likable women characters in the game (Yuna, Lady Masako Adachi)
    - a lot of professional reviewers pointed out that the camera is off... this is true, BUT it gives a freedom to you as you can rotate it freely and therefore you can decide from what POV would you like to check the enemies (sometimes they close round so a fixed camera would be disadvantegous IMO)
    - the guiding wind was a fantastic idea, works really well
    - it is subjective but I like the HUD-less screen... the environment is breathtaking so why we need to put anything else on the screen?
    Compared to RDR2 there are some details that I missed in the first hours then I realized that in this world they are not missing at all. This game do not want you to be a hunter (even though you can hunt down animals), nor be a diver, fisherman and a lot other things as you are a Samurai so they focused on the Japanese culture (even though culture from the 16th - 18th century so from a later period), how to be a master Swordsman and how to find the way of a Ninja (aka Shinobi), while you progress in the story
    Some bugs that need to be addressed:
    - rarely the horse’s front legs can stand on a tree or on a bigger rock
    - the AI should be better (mongols are running back if they leave their territory, even if they try to chase you; sometimes they do not observe you from the watchtower, even if you kill everybody in the fortress/village cause they do not hear you; the deers should run away, but sometimes they run into you instead)
    - the villagers should sleep at night, but some of them instead work on the fields(?)
    These are not annoying problems as the addictive parts compensate them easily, but fixing these and similar minor things would give even better satisfaction IMO. I think Sucker Punch will release some patches later and some of these minor flaws might be fixed.
    I will replay it a couple of times, once on PS5 definitely (60 fps and higher resolution would make this even more breathtaking)

А самое главное без чушни в сюжете, все понимают что идёт война, говорят о ней и о проблемах возникших из-за неё. Слышал вонь по поводу пафоса, но если бы люди хоть немного знали культуру то поняли что так жили(живут?) самураи, кодекс бусидо в помощь. Для постмодерна - пафос, для метамодерна - искренность и достоинство. Игра как произведение искусства, хочу пройти игру второй раз в режиме куросавы (фильмы топ). Пример того чем должна быть игра - искусством, а не потакание социальным трендам которым место на форумах а не в произведениях искусства.

I really couldn't care less and I wanted to skip the badly dubbed cut scenes.. but you can't, so you have sit the often cringy dialogue out.
    The controls are terrible and feel weird and awkward. The way the character moves ,the combat, the camera.. there is really nothing to keep playing for me. There is a black and white mode, but who cares? I don't want to play grayscale games on my Ps4 pro and my LG OLED. The lack of originality, the lack of subtlety, the tackiness... just makes the game of poor quality. Especially compared to The Last Of Us: 2. The latter game has so much thought and detail put into everything. I think that game might have set the bar too high for games now. Ghost of Tsushima feels lazy, boring and repetitive. Too bad.

This is easily made up for, however, it its amazing combat mechanics. Switching between stances to better target enemies in the heat of battle is just the right amount of high speed strategy I love. The horse is one of the best video games has to offer. The world exploration kind of reminds me of Breath of the Wild but with less things to find. You still get those little rewards though in the form of a Haiku writing session, a fox shrine, or just some amazing views of southern Japan. The Photo Mode is also pretty incredible, I spent hours already taking some amazing in combat and out of combat shots. I have experienced a handful of glitches already. Nothing game breaking but I did have to reset the game when my arms got stuck to my side. And the character models don't look that great, you are fighting the same 10 enemies on repeat which is especially apparent at the beginning of the game when you're fighting the same 3 enemies. Ultimately, I am still absolutely loving this game and it's definitely worth checking out. Expand

    SuckerPunch has created a game to remember. Many people will say: yeah, but it's a basic cookie cutter open world game. But look at the details, the thought of how this game was put together, the things that you can do, everything is brought to a level that gives just that extra touch.
    Sure there might be some glitches (which I haven't encountered yet) and it might look a little bit

    Sure there might be some glitches (which I haven't encountered yet) and it might look a little bit different compared to what was shown a couple years back, but this made the game even better. It's a masterpiece and in my opinion for now the contender for GOTY.
    For those who "hate" the game, I would highly recommend to visit a hotspring and reflect upon yourself.

The soundtrack is epic, with blends of traditional Japanese instruments into electronica mixes. I enjoyed the open world dynamic immensely and continue to enjoy it as I explore and replay areas. The open world allows me to go at my own pace or side track to wherever i feel like. The combat mechanics in this game are outstanding, it is a nice blend of challenge and easy to understand.

    honestly this game, has some flaws but despite them i cannot stop loving it. If you want to, this game can be really hard, for those that love a challenge even though as the story advances the game get easier with the addition of the ever growing arsenal of combos and active skills.
    The games style is really amazing, the beauty of Tsushima that goes beyond just the graphics, and its cinematic style is just .... stylish.
    This game delivers on "be a Samurai" ... god d*mmit this game delivers that with full marks, you can how ever choose to go around shinobi style but that is (except in some missions) optional. Dont go around thinking this is a ninja game because it is first a Samurai experience and a Ninja game in fifth.
    The story is above passible, it drives you forward but i could empathize with most NPC's and Jin.
    The biggest criticism about this game for me is the asynchronous japanese voice track, it is a western production but still i feel disappointed in its terrible synchronization even though the voice acting is the typical high quality that one would expect from japanese voice actors.
    Overall for anyone seeking some little advice, do some of the first missions where you get assassination and the bow, after that you can really start enjoying the world as the options just open up properly at that point.
    And that is something i really dont like in open world games when normal things like shops and collectibles(in this one neither are luckily) are behind story missions but you can already explore the world... the assassination i get, but the bow... really?... and armor REALLY?
    The game is in some areas definitely not as polished as other open worlds like rdr2, rdr2s animations were polished af if you dont provoke it, but Ghost has no dynamic walking animations for slopes and such its always the animation for horizontal movement, for an exclusive that was in the works for 5+ years that is a bit weak, BUT that is nitpicking for a FANTASTIC game experience.
    Still i wish for some adjustment for the japanese voice tracks, they them selves are awesome but asynchronousness of them are just brutal ;(

    Ghost of Tsushima is an excellent game. From the graphics to the gameplay to the story it all shines. Talking about the gameplay it is so satisfying when you defeat an enemy. Exploring the open world is so fun. Instead of having a marker on your screen there is a wind tracking mechanic that feels so satisfying. Overall a must play.

The open world just has the right amount of side activities without it becoming tedious and boring.

    Negative for me is the combat as I'm not sure what they are trying to do maybe with a mix of souls and witcher combat but I personally think they should have went with the Shadow of Morder route style combat for instance changing stance to face one type of enemy i.e. shield enemy and the camera suddenly decides nope heres a spear enemy instead which did become frustrating after changing said stance and having to constantly fight the camera as well.

    Overall the key word is fun and for large parts of the game I had so much fun with the story, characters, the world and when the combat worked.

    Do not go into this expecting a Sekiro like combat system. Yes there is parrying but not even close to what Sekiro did. And that is not a bad thing. GoT took a complete different route and it is the most rewarding combat system I have felt in years. It feels like a movie is playing out everytime I fight a mob of 10 people. It is fluid, responsive, beautiful, and precise. There isn't a combat system that I can even compare it to.

    I struggle with pushing through open world games. I get bored halfway through and have to push to just beeline through the main story. Well, Not with GoT. I am close to unlocking everything and I STILL don't want it to end. I wish like hell that there was an NG+ mode.

    I hate when I see people say this is the "Samurai Assassins Creed". Please shut up with that blasphemy. Assassins creed WISHES it could be like Ghost of Tsushima.

    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.
