    This game has a real assassin's creed feel to it - but they've done it better than Unisoft.
    Guess it's the AC game we wanted for years.
    Only downside is a bit repetitive, but hey, that's the AC formula.

    Ich glaube ich habe noch nie so viel Zeit in einen Fotomodus investiert. Das Spiel ist einfach unfassbar schön. Die Story ist mitreißend, wenn auch vorhersehbar. Das Gameplay ist spaßig.
    Einzig allein die Gesichtsanimationen waren nicht so toll. Nichts desto trotz auf jeden Fall eines der besten Spiele des Jahres

    It’s weird for my first review to be about an open world game, as I absolutely despise them....usually. Ghost seems to smooth over all of the things I dislike about those games. The side missions seem to matter first off. I never feel like I’m doing something meaningless or wasting my time. Resource collecting is sooooooo smoothly integrated that you never have to stop moving to collect.It’s weird for my first review to be about an open world game, as I absolutely despise them....usually.

Resource collecting is sooooooo smoothly integrated that you never have to stop moving to collect. The combat is fluid, intuitive and ever evolving.

    This game is gorgeous. I have taken and uploaded multiple screenshots per play session just because my jaw had dropped. If I upload from my Pro to Twitter, you can load the image in 4K, and that is a sweet touch!

    The story and more hooked me from the start. I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    Ótimo jogo! Lindos gráficos e trilha sonora, com bastante exploração e batalhas divertidas. Vale lembrar que não é um jogo japonês, mas uma homenagem ocidental ao "cinema samurai" composto por filmes clássicos antigos. Não é um jogo perfeito, mas muitos dos seus defeitos possivelmente serão corrigidos em futuros patches.

    Fantastic game across the board, only gripe is the absence of enemy lock on, you lose Jin when in combat with many enemies simultaneously.

    Great game, Only issues i have with it is that it gets a little too easy once you start stacking upgrades on yourself, and the subtitles are written for the english voicelines, not the jap, which i noticed have some rather big differences between them from time to time. I'd have prefered to be able to pick a subtitle that fit the jap voicelines better.

The passion and love that went into this game is very apparent. The characters are great, I loved playing as Jin. He has an interesting story that revolves around the main plot. I also want to commend them for making the secondary missions feel as important as the main missions. There is a lot to do in this game if you don’t like doing all the extra stuff you can get away with doing the main story and maybe just a small amount of the other missions but in my opinion you would be missing a great part of the game if you skipped out on side quests. And also for completionist there is collectibles and those are actually pretty fun to hunt down as well. Long story short the game is beautiful with a magnificent story, I really enjoyed my time with this game and hope for DLC or a sequel more than anything right now. Something else I want to add that blew me away is that the loading times on this game are amazing and I played the digital copy on a PlayStation 4 pro on a regular hard drive and load times were never more than maybe 10 or 15 seconds long. So if you have love for open world game samurai awesome action come back and then definitely do yourself a favor and check this game out.… Expand

    There is no grinding for levels or map based locations that require a certain level in order for you to explore. Your ability to survive a fight is based on how well you have learned the art of the Samurai or Ghost.

    This gives you a sense of freedom as you explore this beautiful world because if you find an interesting location, you don’t need to worry about what level your character is. What you need to worry about is how confident you are with your fighting skills.

I love the stories within the game, love the progression and upgrade system. It's the most fun i had with a game in a while. It's a solid 9 for me. It's a better Assassins Creed, if you want, for me at least.

    While not perfect and I would give it like a 8,7/10, I was enjoying the gameplay and story throughout the 20-30 hours. What doesn't make it a 10/10 is the sheer ridiculous amount of collectibles.
    I tell all my friends to not to go out of their way to collect everything (some exceptions like singing crickets).

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

All I can say is I got a fun ride and found the game to be the perfect swan song for the PS4. As to the scores:

    *Story - 8/10
    - The story of the game did not do anything new or out of ordinary. It is a story between maintaining your samurai honor but sacrificing everyone or relinquishing the same and doing what must be done to do what you think is right and for the best of the many. However, although a simple story it was presented in a very thematic way of highlighting japanese culture and samurai code. Overall, I always prefer this manner of storytelling than trying to do too much or original.

    *Gameplay - 9/10 (10/10 for the melee combat, 8/10 for the stealth combat)
    - As shown above, this section was considered on two aspects: It's melee and stealth. The melee gameplay is great! The best melee sword combat for me in all the games I played. It is smooth, realistic and boasts some really cool moves you will never tire of using anytime you challenge a mongol through stand-offs. On the other hand, the stealth is likewise good but feels very familiar. However, it did show something new and awesome like the assassination kill streak and how your image as a ghost literally terrorizes your enemies and makes them retreat in fear of you. It feels awesome and really feels like you are indeed making an impact in the game world not only story-wise but gameplay-wise too.

    *Graphics - 10/10
    - This game will show you one of the most beautiful and colorful scenery and landcapes you will find in an open world. One of the prettiest aspects in this is how the grasses moves with the flow of the wind. The color of the sunset and sunrise are very artistic and likewise pretty. Moreover, it really feels like an actual japanese films in terms of presentation and effects. It is also an added feature that the kurosawa or black and white mode will really make this game an actual old school japanese samurai film.

    *Sound - 9/10
    - Its a great added feature that a japanese dub was introduced in the game. Moreover, the sound, music and voice acting whether japanese and english are on point (I much prefer the japanese VA though to make the game immersive). The only negative thing I found in this aspect is how the mouth movements does not match the japanese dub. Although I did not realize this until I was in the middle of the game.

    Total: 9/10
    - This is a really great game which will be remembered amongst the best open world game of all time and also is one of its most beatiful and artistic ones. The melee combat is also one of its strong points and should be a focus of the devs to further improve if this will be a franchise. A perfect ending exclusive for the PS4 and likewise a great beginning for the upcoming PS5. Congrats Suckerpunch Productions for this masterpiece of a game!    … Expand

    El sonido tampoco está nada mal, de hecho tiene algunas canciones que son increíbles.

    Tiene algunos fallos de IA enemiga, pero no afectan negativamente a la experiencia salvo algunos casos donde el juego se torna más sencillo debido a lo mencionado.
    Se hecha en falta una dificultad mayor a Difícil, pero en Difícil los combates igualmente son muy entretenidos.

    Las animaciones son muy buenas, con algún que otro fallo donde por ejemplo la espada del enemigo al atacarnos y nosotros bloquear, no realiza contacto con nuestra espada pero aún así bloqueamos y salen chispas por el golpe entre los metales.
    Pequeños detalles a los que hay que prestarle bastante atención para notarlos.

    Los que dicen que dura 30 horas es porque rushearon la historia sin jugar el contenido secundario.
    Me tomó 30 horas completar al completo el primero de los 3 "mapas" que tiene, y de paso explico... El mapa del juego es 1, que está dividido en 3 partes. El mapa es la isla de Tsushima, dividida en Norte, Centro, y Sur. (Cada uno es un mapa mundo abierto donde hay mucho contenido para realizar).

    Recuerdo haber leído en la "prensa especializada de videojuegos" (especializada en mentir y hablar bobadas, como siempre), que no se podía "cortar bambú".
    Si que se puede, hay minijuegos que aumentan tu estadística de "determinación", donde justamente tienes que cortar bambues con tu katana realizando pequeños quick time events.

    It truly is the swan song of this console generation. The attention to detail SP has put into this Kurosawa-inspired game blows me away. SP pays a lot of respect not only to Kurosawa's work, but also to the Japanese mythos and history. Combat is fluid, although the camera can be a pain at times when fighting multiple enemies in tight corners.

    But. The navigation/direction system is a stunning and unique mechanism. The colors are absolutely nothing short of amazing, the areas all feel different and fresh each time. Even the enemies while there are a core set of enemies, different areas have different types of these sets and they all feel different.
    While this feels like it has borrowed the camera from Assassin Creed, it feels like it has borrowed the art and soul of games like Nier Automata, or GRIS. There were times in the first few hours where I caught myself just watching the landscapes. The multiple combat stances, while at first seems a bit cumbersome, as you get used to them switching to match your opponents becomes easy and second nature.

    - Deep gameplay mechanics
    - Large open world that feels immersive
    - A revenge story done RIGHT
    - Interweaving stories which feed and contribute into the main plot of the story
    - Almost no load times even during fast travel (maybe 1-2 seconds tops)
    - PHOTO MODE!

    The Bad:
    - computer AI can be a bit predictable at times
    - Like most open world games, some NPCs can feel a bit robotic
    - Combat learning curve can be a bit steep, especially as you unlock more advanced skills

    In-depth Review:

    I've been waiting for a Samurai game like this for a long, long time. Feeling like I'm in a movie, fighting as a samurai in feudal Japan. From the moment the game begins to the opening title card, you immediately feel like you're sitting front row, directing and starring in that samurai movie.

    I LOVE what SuckerPunch developed with Ghost of Tsushima and encourage everyone to give it a try. From swordplay to archery; from main story to side quests, everything and I mean everything feels organic and developed with purpose. SuckerPunch actually drew out one of Japan's longest tradition, being one with nature, and included it in the game. Be it following Foxes to shrines, golden birds to points of interest or utilizing the wind to direct you to your next objective, nothing is gone to waste here. Even side stories, though not "essential," all contribute to the desperation the people of Tsushima feel because of the mongol invasion.

    That isn't to say things are perfect, which is why I did knock 1 point off my score. For one, NPCs can break that immersion due to their AI driven mechanics. Be it walking that pre-programmed line from point A to point B, completely forgetting I tried to raid their base a minute after raining arrows on my position, or just simply repeating the same dialog over and over until I select them, these small cracks in the pristine polish are often enough to remind you it's a game until the next scene pops up or you begin your next objective.

    Speaking of objectives, I've been dubbing each "mission" an episode in a larger running TV series because that's exactly what it feels like. Many characters have multiple "chapters" in their tale which segways from Jin's main mission; yet, they all tie together through the side characters. Not to mention all the activities such as collectables, legacy points, skill tree points, and unlocking ghost skills will easily keep you busy when you're not obsessed with Photo Mode or admiring the landscape.

    Overall, this game is a real treat. It took a similar premise like what The Last of Us Part 2 had, and did it RIGHT! It managed to show all sides of revenge, vengeance, retaliation, and the internal struggle between being brought up believing in a code of honor; and what you turn into once you let go of those morals. If The Last of Us Part 2 left an awful taste in your mouth, Ghost of Tsushima is a bottle of Sake waiting to wash that taste away. And, it tastes like of Game of the Year!    … Expand

    It took me so much time to write this review only because of the fact that I had so much fun playing this game I almost 100% it too this is one of the most enjoyable ps4 exclusives that came out this year unfortunately there are some that didn’t make the cut *ahem* last of us 2 *ahem* but this game was just too good
    Story : you are playing a young still learning samurai warrior named jin    It took me so much time to write this review only because of the fact that I had so much fun playing this game I almost 100% it too this is one of the most enjoyable ps4 exclusives that came out this year unfortunately there are some that didn’t make the cut *ahem* last of us 2 *ahem* but this game was just too good
    Story : you are playing a young still learning samurai warrior named jin sakai you are marching into battle with your samurai army to defend against the Mongols who want to invade tsushima and then japan (the mainland) after you lose the battle and a thief saves you , you understand that there is no way an honorable samurai can defeat the Mongols so you try to seek another way and so you begin your adventure

    Cons:

    - are a lot there of performance issues such as bugs clunky gameplay frame rate drops and the overall performance of the game sometimes just disappointed me

    - the way that you level up way to fast is really annoying because the game just gets easier even on hard difficulty the game was super easy for me

    - the game moves at a really slow paste in the first act to a point of me not even caring about the story at all

    - the loading of armors when you want to see how they look when upgrading them is just humiliating even making me feel as if this is a ps3 game that takes time to load things

    - there are a good amount of plot holes which made me just sit there and ask why? to many times

    - there isn’t much story in the first and the second act only in the third act they picked up the pace

    Pros:

    - the game is just too beautiful you can just sometimes walk around the map with your flute just chilling and playing music and enjoying the scenery

    - the camera mode is superb in every way and I managed to snap some awesome moments

    - the game takes a lot of elements from other open world games such as batman arkhan knight and shadow of Mordor some people say its recycling and unoriginal but I think they actually improved on those elements and made them even better in this game

    - if someone spots you while you are in stealth the whole camp won’t run at you as if they all share the same mind which is the thing, I asked from every stealth game I played

    - the loading time in this game is just nonexistent I don’t know what black magic sucker punch did but I really appreciate them for it

    - combat feels clunky at first but you get used to it and when you do you just can’t stop killing people for no reason because it’s so much fun

    - side missions are actually fun and really rewarding

    - the sheer amount of content and the size of the map will keep you busy for at least 40 to 50 hours

    all this brings me to my final score which was an 8 but after the second act I don’t know how and why but the game just gets so much better in game play and in story and just the amount of content is sometimes overwhelming but in a good way so my final score to ghost of tsushima is a 9 out of 10 I really recommend this game please do yourself a favor go and buy it because its really worth it unlike other ps4 exclusives out there *ahem* *ahem*    … Expand

    A refreshing tale on the open world style where every frame is a screenshot worthy.

The graphics are simply breathtaking and the setting possibly the most beautiful ever, snapshots of the screen are better than any photo I've taken in real life. Combat is fast-paced and challenging, at least in the beginning, and who doesn't love the samurai, their absolute courage and dedication?
    Unfortunately I've spent a bit too much going around in search of fox dens, pillars of honor and sashimono banners, and now every mission feels the same. Combat is still fun, especially since I give up most artificial advantages. No assassinations, no blowgun, no armor. Much more fun played the samurai way. On the other hand, I've grown more and more bored with Jin, the protagonist, and the dialogues in the game. He's not a samurai, or at least he doesn't behave like one. He's a western idealized white knight that doesn't belong in medieval Japan, treating every servant, merchant, peasant or thief like a friend and an equal. I guess this decision was meant to let the player identify with him, but it's anachronistic. Also, there's unfortunately no secondary mission that goes beyond banality. Mongols kill a family, you find injured wife. Wife beseeches you to save abducted husband, just before dying. You save husband, he mourns wife. You meet frightened peasants: "We are from XYZ Village, the Mongols have killed everyone". You kill Mongols, free village, people return. You find disheartened wench: "Oh Lord Sakai, father was abducted by kappa!". You search for the killer "demons", obviously find bandits instead. You kill bandits, tell daughter to go to safe house, "Thank you Lord Sakai", bye bye. Really mundane stuff; while it's true that most games give you this kind of situation, dialogues here are almost cringeworthy in their linearity.
    Moreover, there's an excessive female presence, as expected. The first character you encounter is Yuna, a female thief who walks around with a katana (wouldn't that be punishable by death?) and protects her weak brother. You soon meet Lady Adachi, a perfect female samurai who fears nothing and never falters, and is your companion in a side quest branch where you help her avenge her family. ALL RIGHT, I guess that female warriors are present in Japanese legends, so I can live with that, at least the game does not pretend they were fighting wars together with men. On the other hand, the male counterpart to Lady Adachi, a disgruntled master archer, is obviously an oaf and most definitely at fault for his (female) pupil's betrayal. Then you are following the tracks of a murderer and Jin goes: "THEY have gone this way". I honestly find it hard to believe that a 13th Century samurai would use the politically correct, non-gendered plural for ONE murderer. Finally, when a mission saw Lady Adachi and Jin track and kill a treacherous wife beater, it was really too much for me.

    TL;DR - Supremely beautiful game that is fun to play but disrespectful to its setting. Boring dialogues, unlikely protagonist. Injects political correctness and western values into the samurai society, but is still less obnoxiously feminist than most titles nowadays.    … Expand

    While games like Red Dead 2 sacrifice fun and gameplay quality in the name of immersion, GOT nails pretty much anything it does. Stealth and combat are both always viable and fun, exploration is awesome, and the game achieves a cinematic feeling while also being a charm to play.

    Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible game that puts you in the shoes of a lone samurai who is hell-bent on revenge. You’ll explore the gorgeous and beautifully crafted island of Tsushima, duel lone Ronin and Mongol Generals, hone your combat skills, help those in need, and employ unconventional tactics against your enemies. So, let’s dig right in.

    I can’t say this enough, but the    Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible game that puts you in the shoes of a lone samurai who is hell-bent on revenge. You’ll explore the gorgeous and beautifully crafted island of Tsushima, duel lone Ronin and Mongol Generals, hone your combat skills, help those in need, and employ unconventional tactics against your enemies. So, let’s dig right in.

    I can’t say this enough, but the visuals are absolutely incredible. Watching the silhouette of your figure against the backdrop of a setting sun during a duel or traversing the world is nothing less than cinematic…it’s that good. If you want the best combat experience and the motivation to better yourself at it, then I highly suggest playing on Lethal. Being aware of the enemies around you and where they are, timing your dodges and parries, switching between stances to deal with certain enemy types, taking advantage of the terrain and using every tool at your disposal is paramount to surviving each battle. Taking even a single hit spells trouble, but you’re also just as dangerous if your execution is spot on. The ability to confront and control each fight as you see fit is invigorating: stealth, range, or toe to toe; it’s your choice. By exploring you'll stumble upon locations (hot springs, bamboo strikes, etc.) that increases health or gives you some really cool cosmetic items. Last but not least, the story is just effin’ badass: you begin as a broken and beaten samurai who is forced to go against everything he stands for to overcome the overwhelming odds, and through his actions, becomes the stuff of legends and becomes revered and feared by everyone.

    No game is without flaws, and I think my biggest one with it is the repetitiveness. The main and side stories are definitely great and enthralling, but between those stories, exploring the world can kind of feel empty. Your options are pretty limited: hunt down sites that increase your stats, engage in combat with bandits or Mongol patrols, or continue on with the story. The first time I came across a small village that had been untouched by the Mongols with people going about their business, I became excited because I might get the opportunity to talk to them and hear what they have to say. But, I quickly realized that, although you can talk to a select few of the villagers, they would only offer you vague hints of game mechanics. I was hoping that I could talk to everyone and gain some small insight on the story, lore, whatever; but instead, you come across these villages, look for resources, then move on. I was disappointed because there was so much potential to build this world the developers have created even further.

    Here’s the bottom line, Ghost of Tsushima is just an awesome game. The game does so many things right, and I know you’ll have as much as a blast with it as I have. If you’re a fan of old school samurai movies and great storytelling, then look no further than this.    … Expand

Pacing is excellent - the game never leaves you with a feeling of aimlessness or without something to do. The combat & exploration are where the game really shines, though.

    Combat is a nice balance between defending & attacking while still being friendly enough that the game remains accessible to players of all skill-levels. There's a certain chaotic element as well that would likely make a dedicated lock-on button a boon, but I think is better for the lack of it, oddly. More impressively is that combat is equally enjoyable & rewarding between open & stealth (& the standoff mechanic is crazy-fun).

    The world is populated enough with random points of interest & side-quests that going off the beaten path is almost always a worthwhile endeavor. Even when it doesn't bear any fruit, the game is visually stunning enough that I struggle to consider such rare instances to truly be a waste. The seamless & unique integration of the UI adds some panache to an otherwise tired formula. There's no need for a map or opening/closing menus to figure out where nearby points of interest or quest objectives are; you quite literally follow the wind... or a bird, or fox, or the torii gates.

    For as amazing as the game is, it does have a few faults; however minor. There are some minor glitches with enemies dropping underground or through walls when they die and the like; but nothing that impacts play. The seamless integration, as nice as it is, makes it easy to want to 100% it on the first run (a very good thing) but without a new game+ or other features exclusive to the 2nd+ playthrough, it does hurt replay value. As already stated, the story (especially the ending) is rather predictable - while it's executed well enough that this is a minor complaint at worst, something to shake things up at the end would've been welcome. Nonetheless, after nearly 32 years of being a fairly serious gamer, Ghost of Tsushima has managed to make it into my top 10 of all time.    … Expand

    GoT is an open world sanbox that presents an alternate history based on the 13th century Mongol invasion of Japan. You play as a samurai and help liberating the Tsushima island from the invaders.

You play as a samurai and help liberating the Tsushima island from the invaders. I really enjoyed the game a lot. It was a really nice surprise for me. I did finish quite a lot of open world games and I expected GoT to be similar to other open world experiences but with a different flavor since it is located in Japan. However I was really impressed with both the cinematic graphics approach for the game, the fresh combat system and the story. The graphics are most of the time amazing. The game sacrifices some modern gaming elements in order to enhance other elements such as draw distance and the usage of particles. It is hands down the game that uses particles best. I was also really impressed with the usage of wind instead of map markers and GPS systems. The HUD is clean and this makes the whole experience really immersive. However the graphics are not perfect, some areas are poorly done compared to other games from this generation (water effects are mediocre, characters don't have lots of animations during cut scenes instead you most of the time get a time lapse where you skip certain actions such as using a boat for instance). None of these were affecting the game in any way. I think the overall decision to sacrifice certain element in favor of others works great for the overall experience. When it comes to the story I didn't really expect to be invested in it and I thought it will be a dull story but I was so wrong. The main story is great and as I progressed through the story I felt more invested with every step. Not only the main story is good but you also have a few allies who have optional side missions. Those were also great both in terms of variety and narrative. Yes, there are some missions that are repetitive, for instance at some point you have to liberate a few villages and the overall mission structure is the same but it didn't feel as a choir. Another great thing was the way the game presents collectibles. First of all it doesn't force you to collect 400 meaningless objects for a stupid trophy. Instead you find all kind of interesting areas in the game that reward you with a cosmetic item or some kind of upgrade. Sometimes you have to complete a mini game and it doesn't feel useless or repetitive. The sound is very well done and the music is spot on but it isn't something groundbreaking but matches the game mood very well. When it comes to the gameplay you have two options: to play as a samurai or to play more as a shinobi (ghost). Both are satisfying but the AI is somewhat dumb and makes the samurai approach more satisfying in my opinion. What I enjoyed is that you don't have levels but you have a skill tree. You can choose how to unlock it based on your play style. You also have a couple of side missions called "mythical tales" that teach you special moves and are also very well done both in terms of story and gameplay. When you fight you can choose between 4 stances and each one is has different moves and is good against a type of opponent. By the time I reached the end of the game I was kinda sad that it ended, that's how good it is. Also at the end you can choose between 2 different endings both of which are meaningful in their own way. I was really impressed of this game and didn't expect it to be this good. For me it is a 9/10, I would really recommend it to everyone.… Expand

    An absolutely stunning looking game, that feeling like the Witcher 3 set in Japan.

    The combat is really fun, but not quite Dark Souls/Sekrio/Bloodborne level.

It is a very good game if you stick with the main story *Sidequest = 9 Overal i liked almost all    Great game. I would give it a 8.5 but thats not possible so a 9 would be oke.

    Lets start with the main story. It is very unique and very nice to follow. There will be some unique things and it wants you to know more about people and story. It is a very good game if you stick with the main story

    *Sidequest = 9
    Overal i liked almost all sidequest. Most of them are unique with a story and there is always something to do. Some are ofcourse a bit repetitive, but doenst hurt the game. You need to do them all if you want to go Platinum. Atleast there are many diffrent quests!

    Side note: when you completed a quest you would always have to wait for a little cinematic that you cant skip. It takes around 6 seconds, but i reallly disliked this. Example: the main character would lay against his horse, wake up, will stand and you see something in screen... and then you can play again.

    *Gameplay = 10
    This is were to fun is! The gameplay is very good, but you need to unlock most things. When you start the game you dont have many stances, weapons and moves. When you progress into the game you will unlock more and more.

    *Gear = 9
    You can play like you want. You can play like an assassin or as a warrior. The body-armor is were all the unique skills are. It doesnt mather what face-armor you pick. For RPG-elements: you can pick a hat, face-armor, body-armor and a unique sword. There are not many body-armors, but there are alot of hats and swords in the game.

    *Sound = 8
    I kinda miss some nice background sound. Overal it's oke and everything is in place, but for me it was to quiet to often, especially during riding my horse.

    *Open World = 9
    You can walk freely at your own pace. You can skip the main story to explore and there are alot of question marks to discover. This part can be repetitive, but it didnt bother me.

    *Lenght = no rate

But they added a couple new things like the wind showing you where to go. And animals helping you to find things. Im not done playing it but so far it's great. The story so far is solid. It's not amazing but it's not bad either. The only probem I have so far is the lack of lock on and the brightness settings. At night I turn down the brightness so it's actually dark. And then I turn it back up when it's day. Oh and the stand offs are cool but kind of easy. It's cool though and is a lot of fun. Overall it's a fun and great looking game.

The leveling up mechanic in this game is fantastic and makes you feel like you grown from a weakling samurai to a force to be reckoned with. The flexibility in choice of abilities allows for endless opportunities to grow and best of all defeating and observing your enemies helps you counter other enemies you are likely to face.

    The game is beautiful and made me feel like i was in japan in at 1274 during the mongol invasion. The collectibles also are very useful from new hats to new masks and other items to have fun with on your journey. The story for a simple as it seems is amazing combined with the side quests makes the story a who lot more enriched and somber. The story was told beautifully.

    There were some glitches i ran into on my playthrough like when i air assassinated someone through an object it caused my assassinations to be glitched and would cause detection issue or how the final tale of norio quest causes the fox dens to glitch and foxes would not show up. beating the quest and resetting the game fixed the issues and definitely did not take away from my enjoyment especially since they did not happen frequently or were very minor with easy fixes.

    I liked the wind system but i wish they showed you the exact location instead of approximate because when hunting for collectables it became a big pain because the wind was not always very fun to follow or would not show up at all on my map until i moved a while. I think the wind works for things with a little less amounts to them the banners and other large quantity items were very annoying. I think an exact location would have worked way better on things like the banners or scrolls and artifacts.

    overall i think this game is amazing and definitely is a 9 out of ten. from how cinematic it is to its fluid clean gameplay its easily my favorite game so far this year    … Expand

Ghost of Tsushima made me love gaming and storytelling again, where to the point where AAA titles has lost its touch of what it used to be.

    Los paisajes de la Isla de Tsushima son simplemente hermosos, con una paleta de colores muy bien implementada, las luces y las sombras juegan magistralmente durante todo el juego, no puedes estar un rato del juego sin querer poner pausa y entrar a su modo foto y capturar esos Bellisimos paisajes. Sólo en los lugares con nieve la luz y los blancos llegan a molestar un poco, pero nada que nos saque de la inmersión del mundo. Algo que sin duda me han llegado a preguntar es si existe el típico Poping que ataca a la mayoría de los mundos abiertos y puedo decir sin temor a equivocarme que esta falla aunque presente en el juego es muy raro.
    Los personajes de nuestra aventura estan bien modelados y tienen bastantes detalles, sin embargo noto que sus expresiones faciales están lejos de ser las mejores que haya visto, ya que son muy acartonadas y sin emociones, algo que deberían mejorar y me extraña ya que en InFamous Second Son eran mejores.
    En cuanto al apartado técnico el juego nos da la opción de jugarlo a 1080p a 30fps en PS4 y 1080p a 60fps o 4K Reescalado a 30fps en PS4 Pro.

    La Historia de Ghost of Tsushima nos lleva a la invasión Mongola hacia los Japoneses centrándose en la isla de Tsushima, dónde los mongoles acaban con los Samurai, sin embargo es nuestro personaje un sobreviviente y que en busca de venganza es entrenado con técnicas de sigilo, cosa que va en contra de su entrenamiento básico de Samurai, ya que estas técnicas son deshonrosas para él.
    La historia principal está bien llevada, no se siente que esté acortada o extendida forzosamente, además que hay historias opcionales que te llevarán a locaciones y batallas muy buenas y claro no podían faltar las misiones típicas de los mundos abiertos dónde nuestro personaje es el mandadero de los npc de la isla, pero todos estos favores y misiones extras le darán nuevas habilidades y herramientas a nuestro personaje.

    En el Sonido, Ghost Of Tsushima es sobresaliente, cada espada chocando, el cabalgar con tu caballo, el soundtrack suena perfectamente y bien implementado en las partes más emocionantes del juego.
    Pero lo que sin duda es toda una joyita es su doblaje en Japonés, que si quieres una mejor inmersión te recomiendo lo juegues en Japonés con subtitulos en español, sin duda suena perfecto!

    En el apartado más importante: el Gameplay, sin duda Ghost of Tsushima bebe de muchos otros juegos haciendo que tenga su propio estilo, podemos encontrar mucho de Horizon Zero Dawn, Shadow of Mordor, Sekiro Shadow Die Twice, The Witcher III y claro del más comentado; Assasin's Creed.
    Dentro del sistema del combate tenemos dos modos de pelea diferentes. El Samurai y el Fantasma. Mientras que como Samurai pelearemos con más honor y los cambates van enfocados en 1 vs 1, siendo la katana el arma que más usaremos en este apartado.
    Mientras que con el Fantasma usaremos el sigilo principalmente, donde usaremos armas como bombas de humo, arco y flecha, entre otras habilidades. Cabe destacar que ambos sistemas de combates serán altamente mejorables y claro todas las habilidades serán usadas en el juego, así que mejorarlas no será una pérdida de tiempo, ya que para mejorar requieres entrar a las misiones secundarias, que como dije anteriormente no son nada aburridas.
    Tus reflejos serán una prioridad a la hora de poder pelear, claro dependiendo el modo en el que juegues, que yo te recomiendo empezar en normal y si quieres un reto después jugarlo en difícil, ya que en modo fácil es sumamente fácil y para mi resultó aburrido.
    Algo que me gustó mucho es que la exploración es un deleite, perderte en la isla es maravilloso ya que sus hermosos paisajes te encantarán y ya estando allí es posible que encuentres algunas misiones míticas.
    Sin duda Ghost of Tsushima es un juego que no puede faltar en tu biblioteca más si gustas de mundos abiertos y aventuras, su trama es interesante si llegar a ser una obra maestra pero que cumple su función, entretenerte. Mientras que su sonido te dejará maravillado al igual que su hermoso aparato gráfico. Pero sin duda su gameplay es muy bueno obligandote a mejorar constantemente.    … Expand

    Excellent game and one of the best games of the generation, with a previously unseen art direction.

    -The world is beautiful and engaging, with different and varied biomes and lots of interesting places to discover. Everything you do is rewarding, as you progress through the large skill trees or unlock cool customizing items.
    -The combat starts basic but quickly progresses and adds many new things, never becoming boring. There are plenty of skills, abilities and stances. However, the stealth too easy due to IA being a bit dumb.
    -There's great variety of missions, and even though most of them have the same structure (go to a place > follow trail or npc > kill enemies), the story that's behind them is well written and makes the time spent worthwhile. Both the main and the side characters are great and charismatic.
    -The soundtrack is GOD.
    Overall, extremely beautiful game with a perfect balance of all of its elements. It only suffers a bit from the market sturation of open worlds (same elements seen in those are present here), but the execution here is flawless and it's only beaten by RDR2 in this field. A must have for PS4 owners.    … Expand

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
