    I'm not much of a gamer but GOT def changed the past few days for me- all I've been doing is binge this super fun samurai game! Buy it now! My only regret is I didn't buy the deluxe edition for the super sweet blue armor w/ fur.

    The game is simply beautiful and thoughtful, and details are breathtaking. Adventure and exploration are brilliantly mixed together. Met all my expectations. Combat is smooth and precise, and not impossibly difficult as in Sekiro. I haven't come across any bugs or glitches so far. What's not to like? I'm simply addicted to it :)

    Ghost of tsushima is one of the best looking open worlds you will ever see. As a Japanese American, it was the perfect depiction of my culture's history, it accurately shows the kind of lives Samurais would live in feudal Japan. While at times the game can become monotonous, it only does it before proceeding into an engrossing sword fight. Loved it! Would recommend 10/10.

I knew it existed and that was it. But I started the game and the intro captivated me. Fire rained down from the skies as brave samurai charged their most dangerous enemy yet and they killed them without mercy. Then I actually played it. The combat is refreshingly unique. It has some Assassin's Creed influences, but the stances you can choose from to counter specific enemy types, the combos, the unique moves, it's amazing. The customization of armor appearances, weapon appearances, and even your horse's saddle is excellent and each pattern is uniquely Japanese rather than being a generic Japanese pattern that so many other games have fallen into using. Each color palate for the armor and weapon choices was made with loving detail.

    It's not perfectly historically accurate, but it uses a historical setting to write a fictitious story that is both realistic and enthralling. The characters feel unique. Jin feels a bit single-minded in the first act, but this is well-balanced by various characters such as a master archer and a woman who had her family massacred and a thief who helps him from the start. They teach him various lessons and he grows as a character as they grow. The dialogue is witty and some characters are truly gems.    … Expand

This is hands down one of my favorite games of all time with everything blending together to make an absolute great gaming experience.

The game is stunning, visually breathtaking, the draw distance is extremely impressive and makes the game feel almost next gen. Also the loading times are so quick and I heard they actually made loading take longer than it could have in order to give people time to read the tips. My two favorite things about the game are the use of the wind rather than the minimap and the combat system. The wind allows the game to feel more immersive and rather than spending half your time looking at the waypoint you can enjoy the game for all its beauty. The combat is extremely polished, fluid, and realistic. It feels like I’m actually using a sword. Also there is something really fulfilling about use the stone stance to take down a duel wielding enemy than switching to water stance to kill a sword user and then rapidly firing an arrow to headshot an archer. One of the most enjoyable combat systems in any game I have played. Also a small thing that I really lived when your following and nod and start running they will run as well and if you get on your horse they will get in a horse as well. No more slowly waiting for the Boca to finally get to their destination. Only big complaint is the camera. It can get a little wonky at times and I’ll be fighting but only staring at the wall of the building but you get used to it over time. Lastly I really don’t like how many reviewers were upset about this Japanese game being made by an American company. I consider myself extremely left and it just seems like a dumb thing to nitpick. If anything this game shows extreme appreciation for samurai culture and is also mostly based on movies rather than actual live events. Also if you complain about this game being made by an American company but have taco night at your house, you should definitely double check your cognitive dissonanc… Expand

    I hear that some people aren't into the story that much, and yes, it's on the simpler side, but I don't think it should be more than that. A simple story, without any needless parallels with modern times. No, the developers just let the "kids" live out their Samurai fantasies. And that is perfectly fine.
    That's what video games used to be all about. It's quite silly that it's not the case anymore...

This sets a new bar for game devs and proves that you don’t need to continually reinvent the wheel, you just need to focus on making the game kick ass! This is not Sekiro. Sekiro is a grueling game that wants you to play it “it’s way.” Ghost, for me, offered more flexibility in how I approach situations. I felt like it was up to me and how I wanted to approach the situation. “A challenge” was not the main intention of this game but rather to take me on a journey through old Japan while giving me small challenges along the way. Challenges that do not really get old as the combat gameplay loop has such a great deal of variety and feels oh so satisfying. Other notable characteristics are the graphics which are impeccable. Probably one of the most beautiful worlds I’ve ever seen. The game is extremely accurate when it comes to portraying Japan and it’s history. The only inaccuracy that I am aware of in this game is that, in this period of Japan’s history, people talked at a slower pace than they do in the game. This is REALLY getting nit picky and you could even argue that given it’s modern audience, it might have been off putting to have done it that way. Still, I point it out for you to be the judge. I only encountered two hilarious bugs. One where the enemy just kept bouncing up and down about ten feet in the air and the other where Jin (the protagonist) got stuck for like a minute doing like a T-bag motion like in COD. Other than that, I’ve had no problems. The only weakness, if it can even be called that, is the story. I say that because while I found it very engaging, I can see how someone who is less interested in exploring the history of the samurai and Japan may find it a bit dry. It is also not a RPG. You are not going to be making tons of choices that influence the game like you would in other games. It’s an open world with a pretty linear story. Overall, I would say this is a must buy for most people.… Expand

These stumbles in the story so far aren’t too damaging to the game though. There are plenty of side missions, a lot of the missions are just clearing up spaces that have mongols, which is ok. The best side missions are the mythical ones. Mythical side quests lead you on a journey to find missing armor or weapons. These side missions usually lead to a beautiful location where you come across a boss to battle. To me, Photo Mode has been one of the best features in this game. There are so many beautiful locations in this game already, and photo mode allows you to even make it more stunning. This game is a very solid 8/10.… Expand

    Very simple.. better than expected, unlike the last of us part 2. Fun but deep meanings, ingame atmosphere is fantastic, long story which is not boring nor repetitive, makes you understand how a samurai thinks, it drags you into Japan’s 13th century way of living and most importantly no SJW and LGBT stuff.

The combat feels smooth and easy to remember, the map may look so small, but the island of Tsushima is so big that I have to rely on fast travel most of the time to get from point A to point B which I love. I’m always the kind of person to do the main story in open world games first, and then the side stories, but there are so many other interesting stories from the people of Tsushima that I still have so much more of the story to go through and sometimes even have to force myself to actually play the story for a bit. The game that is based in Japan that was made by Americans is so good that even the Japanese themselves loved the game! There aren’t really any complaints from me since the only problems that I have with the game is just me nitpicking the smallest things.… Expand

    Awesome game. A mix between Assassin's Creed and Souls. Fluid fighting mechanics based on timing and stances over button spamming. Diverse combat and boss fights. The story is based on a historical era often not used in games but is perfect for the plot of this story. Smooth frame rates and graphical performance. All in all an excellent game.

Mechanics are fluid with minor hiccups that can break the moment at times and yet the encounters are satisfing none the less. Story is engaging for where I am at currently.

    The Samurai combat is very satisfying. There are few basic enemy types but they get progressively more complex as the game goes on. You also learn more complex combos, worries, and dodges to help.

    You also get new items the can help with Stealth and crowd control if you get into a jam.

    You get to hunt. You get to upgrade your armor and weapons.
    You get upgrade your techniques.
    You get to change your fighting stance/styles for different enemies.
    You get to free roam. You get to get lost in the beauty of 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.
