    The game itself looks amazing. More than one time I died because I was looking at the scenery and not the Mongols.

    Combat is fun and after a few side missions that grant abilities it was even more fun.

    Its not perfect, a few times I could predict story points or dialogue because it hits certain tropes but overall the game is fun to play well made and definitely worth the time and money.

    This game is a masterpiece with a good story and a beautiful open world, I only complain about some missions that can become somewhat repetitive but after all it is a game of excellent quality with a good open world, greetings from Chile :)

    This game is beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL. Sure, some people are saying that the mechanics are not perfect but, as I often say, with this kind of games where there's an significantly amount of difficulty, people tend to blame the game instead of their lack of abilities. Why do I give this a ten? I sincerely think this new IP is one of the best games of this year so far.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a love letter to samurai and samurai movies, particularly to Kurosawa's style. At first glance this game may look like an Assassin's Creed / FarCry / Witcher 3 clone with a samurai skin applied on top, but it is as good as those games but also more than that.

    Starting out with Ghost of Tsushima, the gorgeous landscapes & sweeping environmental art could be considered some of the best in video games.

The same kind of beauty supplied by Witcher 3: Wild Hunt & even the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here with the many locals & vistas you’ll visit throughout Tsushima. Multiple activities/mechanics are laid out before you to keep you busy in between your tales, main or side quests that push you forward through the story. Finding shrines, fox dens, animals to hunt for skins, etc. It’s genuinely hard for me to put down my controller due to all the things within the game that keep pulling in for some more good fun. Combat is equal parts fun & challenging, delivering some of the best blocking/parrying maneuvers since Witcher 3 & dodging/rolling borrowed from Dark Souls. A huge bonus is the Kunai ghost weapon that acts as a miniature projectile, granting either better opportunities for stealth or a surprise element in the middle of an encounter. The Bow is also a lifesaver that you’ll catch yourself using more & more throughout. Smoke-bombs for stealth, customization for your sword & armor, & some of the most stylized combat that pays it’s best respects to Kurosawa Akira‘s many samurai films.

    A gripping opening to a lengthy, yet straightforward story, throwing the player into the world of Tsushima with an objective & purpose. It’s a simple Avenger story, fighting back against an invasion to avenge & protect the people being killed. Shedding the bushido code/beliefs, you will provoke war against the mongols using shinobi tactics, making yourself the ultimate Ninja-Samurai in all the land. Sounds cool, right? Samurai fans, Ninja fans, Medieval fans, Fans of Japanese History/Culture, Weeaboos, & perhaps some anime fans would definitely love the world & the game as a whole. If you enjoyed Witcher 3, BotW, RDR2, or even Skyrim, you’ll enjoy Ghost of Tsushima. The only nit-picks I have are:
    1. I sometimes wish lock-on was a feature.
    2. The “arms” glitch isn’t frequent but funny enough so it doesn’t annoy when it does happen.
    3. Walking through bamboo/small trees, making you feel like a an actual ghost. 4. NPC/Civilian AI is a little silly sometimes, falling over small dips or lighting themselves on fire multiple times.
    5. No fishing but that’s just a me thing. At the end of the 8th Generation of gaming, we finish the inevitable lifecycle of PlayStation leading to rebirth. I’m happy we can end the PS4 with GoT & hope to look forward to greater exclusives by Sony.    … Expand

    This game allows you to live as a Samurai, with a beautiful open world an easy to learn but longer to master combat system. I won't go on and on though; if you love, like, or are interested in the culture behind the life of a samurai then this game will not disappoint. No spoilers, but I can guarantee that this game contains NO steroid infused trainers eating the fingers of angry teen lesbians.

    Extremely good combat with refreshing progression, pretty good storyline, in a world with beautiful art direction, go buy it. Actually, this game is an example of why good combat should always be a priority. Some of the open-world content "would" get repetitive, IF the combat it usually happens through wasn't just so F-ing engaging.

    Ghost of Tsushima is, for the most part, a typical open world game.

Facial expressions during exchangesGhost of Tsushima is, for the most part, a typical open world game. It adds nothing new to the mix, but instead chooses to offer the trite selection of activities and gameplay that players have seen a million times before. Now, I wouldn't mind these so much if the plot was engaging, but characters are mostly one-dimensional and the script is often lazy. Facial expressions during exchanges with NPCs can fall inside the uncanny valley sometimes, so cameras are placed far from the speakers to make up for this. To make matters worse, lip sync is completely broken for Japanese audio: it often looks like characters are being dubbed over. This completely destroys immersion and has a negative impact on the whole experience. I'm only saying this because visual representation for landscapes and buildings is often breathtaking, and it's such a shame that the same care didn't go to these other aspects. of the game. Gameplay wise, AI is pretty terrible, and even on maximum difficulty I run into hardly any trouble. There's also your standard array of mechanics: stealth kills, parries, unblockable moves, arrows, and such. This work fine, but they never reach the heights of games like Sekiro, where mastering them became essential for success.
    So as it stands, Ghost of Tsushima is a by the book open world game, with forgettable characters and forgettable mechanics. Enjoyable, yes, but its formula grows really tiring really quickly. There's also the added value of a magnificent photo mode and the splendid Kurosawa filter, but that's about it.    … Expand

As Jin Sakai in Ghost of Tsushima, players quickly discover that his honor-bound warrior code simply doesn't match up when it comes to fighting the invaders. As a result, he reluctantly adopts unconventional methods and techniques to eliminate his enemies, such as using smoke bombs to vanish from sight, or stealthily infiltrating enemy camps. Over the course of the game, he'll merge and evolve these skills into a flexible fighting form, one that befits his new persona as the Ghost. It's incredible to watch Jin terrify enemies when he calls out opponents for a dueling stand-off and vanish before reinforcements can arrive. (Not to mention that duels highlight Jin's mastery of swordplay and feel pulled directly from a samurai movie.) It's also interesting to watch the evolution of Jin's sense of what it means to be a samurai in these troubled times, which isn't isolated to him only. His allies, who have varying degrees of morality and honor, have their personal codes tested with the invaders on the island as well. Without spoiling any details, there are some hefty and dark quests for revenge and redemption, which serve as a warning to Jin about the hazards of giving into his emotions, as well as how fully embracing the persona of the Ghost could potentially doom him to a darker path. It's torturous for Jin, and it tugs on the player's heart to watch his complex struggles of walking between both paths.… Expand

The landscapes breathing with life , sound design is fantastic. its beyond what I expected for this game.

    Great game, graphics are nice, animations are a meh and the storyline/setting of the game is a bit boring in my opinion. It is a really generic bland game though. After you've beaten it there is not much to do and you can safely say you'll never touch it again. Cutscenes are really boring they didn't interest me in any slight way. Overall a pretty good game 7.4/10

It's amazing this title do not burn my PS4 pro even with those particles and everything moving around. This is ART. Not so happy about the camera or the lack of a lock-target system. But I will play this game til the last bit..

The armors would have more impact on gameplay if it wasn't so easy to swap out on the fly.

    Phenomenal game. Of course the game looks gorgeous as we all know, but that's the least of reasons to buy this game.

    1) The combat is great. Its simple to pick up but takes a long time to master. There are do many techniques and abilities to u lock and so much variety in the way you can tackle battles 2) Loading times are virtually non existent, even with fast travelling.

    1) The combat is great. Its simple to pick up but takes a long time to master. There are do many techniques and abilities to u lock and so much variety in the way you can tackle battles

    2) Loading times are virtually non existent, even with fast travelling. Genuinely talking under 2 seconds everytime and I'm playing on a regular PS4

    3) Side quests are great. No filler crap, they feel just as meaty as the main game stuff. Sometimes I genuinely forget if I'm on a main story quest or a side quest because the quality is just the same

    4) This is personal preference but I adore the setting, the style and so the story and characters within that world

    5) The map is just the right size (not too big) and exploration is fun. This is helped by the fact your horse handles better than any horse I've ever had in a game... Unlike the horrible horse controls of RDR2. The map feels so full, no vast empty spaces like BOTW. You'd struggle to go in any direction for more than 30-60 sec without bumping into a new town, an NPC, getting into a fight, finding a shrine etc

These are some of the BEST loading times I’ve ever experienced in a video game. Fast traveling across the map takes maybe 10 seconds and when you die it’s almost instantaneous. Huge props to Sucker Punch. And all of this in a game that doesn’t eat up space, as it is roughly 39gbs. Absolutely the best game of 2020 yet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought the digital delux edition because i am a terrible human being who has to have it at the absolute earliest he can possibly get it and because im not a hack game journalist reviewer who gets paid to play.

    I do not regret my purchase. I have painstakingly taken my time, in each area, *except for finding singing crickets and banners, i'll do those later if i feel up to it. Before i touch a story mission, i'm chasing foxes for shrines. Searching for bamboo to fell. While you simpls played tlou2 and soaked in it's horrid nature, I honed my samurai instincts with massive button mashing and dark souls rolling.

    Let me say this, I LOVE STANDOFFS. I LOVE DUELING, ITS SO GOOD IT GIVES ME YEW WOOD.

    the game is not perfect in the sense of facial animations, for some reason (there are 3 in my household who have [purchased this game and are playing it, including myself) My Jin has a fault, whatever he crawls under (building or cave) he cannot exit it from the front. Meaning looking at it. He is i suppose quite frightened of what may exist on the otherside (like my destination) i must rotate him completely around 180 and then exit feet first. i do not know why, this has been a thing. I have also discovered that occasionally jin decides that i didn't really want to grapple a tree stump or branch and says YEET and i fall. But it's ok! i expect a bit of mud to slog through in games. I'm running for performance, so i'm not set for huge graphic up-scaling like my roommates do. I get to see it in real time both ways, and i can honestly say this world is gorgeous.

    Now i love a good story, and I'll be honest I generally do not give a damn about horses. I felt bad when my nobu died. I didn't give a crap about Bartzabel (he was my horse in red dead redemption 2) I felt immense disgust in the betray brought about by my childhood friend (who strangely was not female, or in love with me, as the anime trope goes)

    Let me state this. Not everyone is heterosexual. There are characters with varying sexual identities and preferences. it is perfectly woven in and not shoved down your throat like some current games do (THE LAST OF...) it makes sense, and is glorious. Strong female characters are taking a stance, however there is one that i do not like, and only because quite literally the woman tried to kill me, ME, HER FRIEND, WHO HAS BEEN HELPING HER FIND HER FAMILIES KILLER. Of course Jin forgive her, BUT HE DO NO FORGET. (yes i said do no.) This angered me as this is my Jin and i don't forgive you i'd very much like to kill you. However Jin says oi, don't ever try and kill me again.

    Good stuff.

    I love the story, the easy to see whats coming nature of it is alright and i can get past that easily because i'm (for the most part) in control. I can chase it as i please The thrill of finding a mongol encampment and the warning "YOU HAVE ENTERED A MONGOL TERRITORY OF OVERWHELMING POWER, RUN YOU WEAKLING FOR YOU HAVE NO CHANCE, also this is story related so no you cant come in right now" Even when finding these places, i still try to take them on, many times i do quite well, before succumbing to the phantom archers. I get it, and it's fun to try and push it. I force my way through some of them, instead of taking a long trek around them. I'm lazy and i wanna go straight forward, and so i do. often it would have been quicker to go around, but i want to go this way, and i will do it, even if it takes an hour. sometimes. a lot of the time. generally speaking always. This is not a reflection of everyones experience, i choose this, and thus implemented the struggle upon myself.

    This gameplay is good. Them graphics is phat. Those story elements are cliche! (and tasty)

    I love it. For all it's flaws that remind me it's still a game, for all of it's immersion that pulls me in and has me commited to complete everything without feeling forced to do so, because if you want to climb the shrine it's up to you. If you want to chase the fox, it's up to you, if you want to follow the birds and soak in a hot spring or find some swag to pimp jins look, it's up to you.

    i don't penalize this game because of the few bugs i've had, they are not game breaking and just minor in the grand scheme. this, like god of war are 10/10. I even enjoy the music, and i'll say it's disabled through normal play but the game has forced implementation in other areas, I'm one of those guys that hates it because it robs me of immersion. But this, it just works so well and helps to ease me in, rather than distract and take me out. I love it.
    This wont be goty, The media and shills wont let it, but damn it, i'd vote for it. (yeah, even against cyberpunk 2077, they delayed till nearly the end of the year. Well they can be goty next year. im delaying my vote. it still needs polish, ya know?)

    TLDR: Did not waste my money. can enjoy this game in Japanese or English. A RARITY. Story better than tlou2.    … 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.
