    So this was the best open world game I have played in long time. The story was fantastic, Kohtan Kahn was a very well written enemy leader. I could see why he was the way he was, and I hated him. That is good writing. I didn't bother with the Black and White mode because the game is just to good looking to do that The end really hit home for me.

I could see why he was the way he was, and I hated him. That is good writing. I didn't bother with the Black and White mode because the game is just to good looking to do that The end really hit home for me. I was genuinely sad after the final battle. It hit an emotional chord. I also personally really liked the no lock on system. I didn't think the game was clunky at all. There were some bugs like random npcs falling from the skies but it didn't hurt the experience.

    I am giving this a 9 on here only because I can't do fraction ratings. Personally I would give this an 8.5. It's not the greatest game of all time, but it's very good. That said it is much closer to a 9 for me than an 8 so by default it gets a 9,    … Expand

    What can I say: beyond my expectations!
    Graphically beautiful.
    The Game-play is easy to learn and well mastered. The soundtrack is just Fabulous. (Masaka Dono theme is just WoW) The story is well written, I did not get bored even once even in with the little stories. A very realistic open world with no unnecessary or inconsistent corners.

    The characters, how not to speak about it, Shimura, Masako-dono, Ishikawa Sensei, Taka ... Yuna ... all equally charismatic with their own character, inhabitants of Tsushima, it was gratifying to follow their stories.
    It has been a long time since I had such a great gaming experience.

    Ghost of Tsushima leaves as the last exclusive for the Playstation 4 and does it with a bang.

    This game offers an absolute breathtaking journey with outstanding visuals, gameplay and story.

    Ghost of Tshusima is a strong contender for GOTY and one of the best games the Playstation 4 has offered.

With the big combat portions with many enemy’s I guess there’s not really anything else you can do, but it still can feel like it’s interfering or getting in the way of your gameplay. All in all tho, Ghost of Tsushima is a great game and while not perfect, it’s very close to perfect barring a few issues.

    One of the best open world games I've played since the Witcher 3. Oozes style, grace and beauty, fighting mechanics are easily the most thought out structure in the game with multiple stances, play styles and weapons to choose from.. exploration is absolutely breathtaking, how the environment was crafted and seamlessly put together is a gaming achievement. I cant stress how good this game is.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. LETHAL MODE REVIEW (Completed it, so don't tell me to "git gud").

    8.5/10. A very good game; a franchise with a lot of potential. But not without frustrating issues.

    Easy stuff:
    1) Music and audio - great. no complaints.
    2) Visuals - astounding. every few seconds is screenshot-worthy.
    3) Acting - (played in japanese, can't imagine playing in english) very good.
    4) Gameplay - good. it's like assassin's creed, but it's the sword combat that sets it apart.
    5) Free DLC that is actually good.
    6) Game launched as a complete game, even before DLC.
    7) No abusive microtransactions.

    Cons:
    Sword Combat. Again, very good in general, but there are issues that become prominent in Lethal Mode. Be warned, because it can be very frustrating.
    1) Enemies have homing, sliding feet while they do their combos. You do not when you do your combos. Rolling out of the way is rendered pointless. Your sidestep must be pixel-perfect. They should have instead added a stamina bar to prevent roll spamming, instead of making cheesy enemies.
    2) Enemy attacks are lightning fast, to the point that this game is not about reflex - it is about manipulation and anticipation. Attack windups are literally less than half a second. Red and blue glints are even less than less than half a second. Unless you're 24 (age of peak human reflex), this game is far, FAR too fast. The devs failed to consider the latency of the dualshock 4, plus the fact that the ps4 runs at 30 fps (even less at times). Put these things together and the game is simply too fast. Lethal mode was clearly not play-tested enough. Lightning fast attacks would be fun on 144hz, and a wired keyboard and mouse; but not on aging hardware like this. What made the Dark Souls games great was that it felt good to dodge and block attacks. It felt good to memorize and know the patterns of bosses. Ghost of Tsushima ruins that tried-and-tested formula by speeding things up way, way too much. What happens is you must spam attack to force enemies to block and respond with only a limited number of moves. This way, you are able to eliminate a lot of their unpredictable and unreadable combos. In short, it feels bad to lose in this game, not like Dark Souls.
    3) Sword Stances feel undercooked, visually don't make sense, and don't mesh well with stagger system. This one is difficult to explain, but these two things put together feel really, REALLY silly. Moon Stance Kick staggers Fat Guys a lot, but it doesn't Stagger much Smaller Guys? Powerful-looking Twirling Slash from Wind Stance hurts Spear Guy a lot, but nobody else? Nonsense. Awesome Water Stance flurry hurts Shield Guys a lot, but nobody else? It's arbitrary. They didn't think it through. Use a combo system and moves list instead.

    Other Cons:
    1) stupid banner collection. 80 banners hidden around the world. pointless padding.
    2) stupid firefly mechanic. the firefly is way, way too slow, plus it forces you to put on the Traveller's Attire, which sucks for combat, so you are forced to swap in and out of it.
    3) stupid plot moment in act 2's ending. very avoidable, unearned, and emotionally manipulative.
    4) stupid plot moment regarding poison in act 3. very dumb - every culture has poisons.

    If you're looking for a good time, GoT will deliver. Good job, Sucker Punch devs. Hoping GoT 2 is even more awesome. There's still room to grow. It's refreshing to get a ps4 exclusive that can wash off the bad taste of TLOU2.    … Expand

    It, mechanically, follows the already proven pattern of some earlier awesome games. Open world, pick up trees and flowers, upgrade gear, get better tools that give access to new areas and stuff, do main or secondary quests.

    My first impression when booting up was that I where surprised by it´s low quality textures, quite hideous at times. But in my opinion, textures does not have anything to do with how good a game is. Even though some bad textures, the overall environmental fidelity of the graphics are masterpieces. Characters are okay, not a new Bloody Baron or Vaas but they do their part. The main story is quite good, with one or two good twists. Secondary questlines are also okay.
    The game is also constructed with immersion in mind, the hud only ever shows exactly when needed to, minimaps or markers are not here. Instead you are guided by ingame phenomenons like the wind or animals. Love the focus on immersion.

    Combat is where the game really shines. I usually don´t think to much about it, I often even find combat a bit boring. But GoS really nails the combat. It is so well balanced and skillfully constructed, it puts a lot of significance on the skill and concentration on the player. A really focused player can defeat several enemies of high lethality, but let your thoughts wander away for half a second and you are gutted.

    If you love Horizon, Red Dead or Samurais in general you´r gonna love Ghost Of Tsushima!    … Expand

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.

    The combat is excellent. The variety of enemies you can fight with different combat styles added a lot to keep things fresh over the course of the 35-40 hours I had in the game. The stealth adds some different options to go about the combat as well and is only "forced" a handful of times.

    The story isn't the best I've played but is very solid. A good job is done in getting you to understand the tough choices that Jin has to make over the course of the campaign and I think by the end most people would side with him. The voice acting is not up to the level of Naughty Dog but still good.

    The side quests could have used a little variety in my opinion. There could have been some quests that you needed to find "X" flowers or gather "X" supplies/metals/etc. instead of the mostly combat focused quests. The only other thing that I would like to see improved is a way to dismantle charms. I had so many unused charms at the end of the game including some duplicates that they just wasted away in my inventory.

    - Does not FORCE you to go through the side activities.
    - Amazing sounds/music/OST/Score.
    - Encourages you to explore.
    - Quests are rewarding.

    The not so good stuff:
    - Combat does not have the lock-on feature which can lead to weird situations when fighting the enemy.
    - A few questionable looking cutscenes here and there.

    Ghost Of Tsushima combines all of the best aspects of what a third-person open-world action game SHOULD BE, and molds it into a spectacular game. If not for the 2 gripes I had with this game, I would've given this game a 10/10.

Система сражений на первый взгляд кажется очень простой, но когда начинаешь встречать врагов просто путешествуя по миру, то они могут неплохо подпортить настроение, боевая система проработано хорошо, удары чувствуются, она выглядит зрелищно и она тяжелая для освоения новичку в мире игр, и это хорошо, на высоком уровне сложности в игре тебе никогда не бывает скучно. Графика в игре очень красивая и живописная, это не технологический прорыв, но тоже очень хороший уровень. Теперь к плохому, почему в игре такого размаха не проработаны мелкие детали ? Почему я не могу оставить свой след и срубить маленькое дереве мечом ? Это такие мелкие детали которые уже должны быть в играх. Это все придирки которые я могу из себя выдавить, кроме того что в игре нет красивых женщин из-за невидимой руки сами знаете кого.

If you plan to get this game I would make sure that you enjoy the games that really push you to explore.
    If you just blow throught this game you might see it as just another by the book Ubisoft style open world game, if you decide to explore however, you will see that this game is much more than that. Ironically enought, this game feels more like Assassin's Creed than the latest Assassin's Creed game.
    You might not enjoy this game if you don't like exploring the world. There are also some repetitivness issues. A large portion of the quests are just clearing out forts or tracking enemies to a camp. I have finished every sidequest in the game and while there are outliers, most of them follow the same structure. Then there are also the Fox Dens which are fun the first few times, but after a while they just get more iratating that anything. This game also has pointless collectibles which I am not a fan of.
    However, even through these issues the game is still amazing and a joy to play. This is an example of what happens when a developer tries to make a game that is fun above all else.    … Expand

    No lock on is a challenge but fun. Stand-off mechanic is a welcome addition. Absence of mini-maps and the minimal appearance of the HUD is good, for taking in the breath taking vistas of Tsushima. Kurosawa mode should be played after your first play through.

    I would've given this game a 10 if the camera weren't panned in too closely with no ability to adjust it. The only reason that's a problem is that this world is so beautiful, it would be nice to actually see it when exploring on low ground. Other than that, great story, great character building, love the fight mechanics, and I just love playing this character.

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

Story is actually good (no strange choices made by the characters) a bit predictable but nothing damaging the game. My only complaint is that the camera gets a obstructed sometimes.

    Longer critic: So what makes this game a good open world game? Immersion. Let me compare that game to the the last (released) Assassin's Creed (Odyssey). Here your HUD is pristine, empty, no compass, no augmented reality point floating telling you where to go or how many POI are close to you. Few exceptions, in combat your life, resolve and stance are shown. And when you're very close to the point you marked on the map (like less then 20m). The wind guides you where your map-marker is and it works really really well. To the point I'm considering not buying the next AC game because the HUD stays unchanged.

    Most of you have probably seen videos or pictures of this game online and I must say they rarely come close to the actual gorgeousness of the game (I played on a PS4 Pro in resolution mode with HDR turned on).

    Combats are brilliant, enemies are varied (move sets and appearances) and you need to use your different stances to defeat them. Stand off mechanic is very satisfying and gives you a real advantage in fight (if you don't mess up). I just found the enemies with lance being a bit too hard to parry. IMHO this game should be played in the hardest difficulty, it is hard but not overwhelming and forces you to use every tools you have.

    Very satisfying game, enjoyable, not too long (it took me around 50 hours to get the platinum trophy) it only needs a New Game+ mode now. If you have a PS4 and like open world game, this is a must buy. If you're on PC well let's hope Sony releases it at some point (like Horizon Zero Dawn or Death Stranding) because they really should (especially this close to the next gen release).    … Expand

    +The combat system, highly realistic action capture, clean sword, highly ornamental performance in the game.

In the later stage, according to the development of the story, there will be more "Ghost" style things to play, which greatly increases the playability of the game.

    +The exploration elements of the open world are closely related to the player's attribute enhancement, which enhances the player's desire to explore the world instead of just cleaning it up.

    Disadvantages:

    - the details of the game still need to be improved,Lot of bug still there.

    - the expression of the characters is too rigid, especially when the characters are talking.

    "Ghost of Tsushima" still needs to improved, but the best part of this game is to develop its strengths and avoid its weaknesses. This is one of the essential elements of an excellent game. It is still a excellent game, Not Perfect, but brilliant.

Exploration and side quests both offer a variety of possible rewards to enhance the experience. The melee combat requires some precise timing, but it is less demanding than Sekiro. At some point, every player will experience some trouble with the camera and the lack of a lock-on feature. Patience and better positioning can alleviate the camera issues, though.
    Enjoy the spacious land and its set pieces. Ghost of Tsushima looks gorgeous, and the vibrant colors are even better when you are the one playing the game.
    Being guided by the wind is a brilliant idea to reduce the amount of clutter on the screen.
    The game has accessibility options and full voice acting in English and Japanese.
    I'm glad the developers did not focus too much on hyper-realism. Nothing takes too long. The healing, looting, loading, traveling, and upgrading are all quick and designed to be convenient which lets the player get back to the story and action without tedium.
    Addendum: The side-quest cutscenes are awkward because the characters stand almost completely still while talking. Their stiff body language makes those so small conversations uninteresting to watch. But the game is still 9/10 because the action is fun and that's what matters the most.    … Expand

The way everything from the grass to the trees blows in the wind just looks beautiful and the lighting might not be super realistic all the time but it definitely adds immensely to the overall tone and style. There is a ton of beautiful artistry and style that oozes out of this game and I love it.

    The game's score beautifully compliments the gorgeous visuals as well. Also you should definitely try playing at least part of the game with the Kurosawa filter on, it's super cool.

    Speaking of sound, the voice acting is all top notch, every actor here is giving a great performance. The game also has an excellent Japanese dub that is unfortunately a bit muddled by the fact that the lips don’t even remotely match up but despite the fact that I personally chose to play in English if you typically prefer Japanese the option is there and problems aside the acting is still great so I’d say it's still worth it.

    The story focuses on Samurai Jin Sakai during the Mongol invasion of Tsushima led by Khotun Khan in 1274. This was an actual historical event but I mean they obviously took some...small liberties with it. Anyway the Samurai’s defenses are obliterated and the island falls to the Mongols who begin spreading all over Tsushima. Jin who is saved by a thief named Yuna is forced to shed his Samurai code and resort to methods he never would have even considered before to save his home and his Uncle Lord Shimura.

    Overall this story was very engrossing. It's not the best story in any game I’ve ever played but it definitely is further proof that the bar for video game narrative has been raised this last generation. The emotional conflict within Jin is very compelling. The way he is torn between tradition and what's necessary is captivating. I also actually enjoyed playing through the optional storylines of Jin’s various friends, especially Yuna and Masako.

    Okay now let's get down to it. So the game looks and sounds amazing and it has a really engrossing story but that would all just be pointless if the game wasn’t fun to play. So is it?...In short yes.

    First off, Ghost of Tsushima is an open world, obviously, the map isn't massive but it's pretty dense and full of activities ranging from Story and Side missions, Collectibles, Challenges, and Mongol fortifications to capture.

    I love the Guiding Wind, instead of using waypoints or markers to lead you to objectives the wind will actually blow in the direction you need to go and you can even make the wind blow harder by swiping up on the touchpad, yeah this game actually makes decent use of the touchpad.

    The game does have fast travel but honestly I rarely used it over the course of the actual game because I really enjoy just exploring the map with the only downfall being the kind of annoying fall damage.

    There are two methods of engagement, stealth or head on sword clashes. The stealth in this game, especially early on, is admittedly very basic. You do get upgrades later on that will help make the stealth more enjoyable but it never becomes super deep stealth but it does the job fine.

    As for head on combat it is definitely one of the better sword fighting games I’ve played. Your goal is to get parries on enemies to break their guards which is especially necessary against boss fights where mashing the attack button will likely get you killed. It is more in depth than your average hack-n-slasher but not nearly as much as say Sekiro.

    You can unlock upgrades to make your life easier by increasing your legend. Mongol fortifications, side quests, and story quests all grow your legend.

    You will also get a bunch of different armor variants to work with as the game goes on but the only ones I found to be worth it are the Sakai armor, Ghost Armor and travellers attire.

    There are a variety of collectibles. There are bamboo strikes which increase your resolve. Resolve is used to pull off certain abilities and to heal yourself so it's worth having. There are Inari shrines which you will be led to by foxes you bump into while exploring which give new charm slots and powerful charms, charms being pieces of gear that have various effects like increased damage.

    There are also Shinto Shrines that involve a lot of crawling and swinging with your grappling hook which you get fairly early on in the game, to complete and reward you with a particularly powerful charm and plenty more.

    When all is said and done if the PlayStation 4 had to go out on something You can’t ask for much better than this. This game is truly the swan song of the platform. The visuals are stunning, the score and voice over are top notch, the story is captivating and the gameplay is positively addicting.
    I highly recommend this game to any and all PS4 and eventual PS5 owners out there.    … Expand

    Beautiful game. Great gameplay. Not too difficult. I love it that you can play any style without any disadvanntage. Just learn skills that you like, chances are any combination will be good enough to get through the levels. Nice way to end the ps4 era.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank God! Fortunately, there is still a highlight at the end of the console generation.

    Great graphics and atmosphere. Great combat system. Fantastic open world.

    The only drawback, who is already overwhelmed with the brainless gigantism in Ubisoft's AC series, will also encounter the typical problems of Open World games at GoT. Beautiful, but big and time-consuming open world, which can lead to motivation problems at some point. After 20 hours, you only saw 30% of the game with side quests etc. You should know this before you buy the game, but it's worth every penny.

    Nevertheless, it has become the masterpiece that another AAA game wanted to be recently and failed miserably. Without any disgusting political agenda, Ghost of Tsushima puts play fun and show values ​​in the foreground and delivers what you expect and deserve as a player.

    Thank you Sucker Punch for this masterpiece! It also fills the void that the Tenchu ​​franchise left after the brand died.    … Expand

    GoT is hands down the most beautiful game I have ever seen in my life, every frame feels like a gorgeous painting and the superb photo mode allows you to get lost in this world for hours without even playing it. The world itself is amazingly constructed, the protagonist Jin's connection with nature and the way the world guides you through a natural process of discovery which constantly gives you more reasons to keep going, are just on another level.

    The gameplay is superb, the combat, free roam and even partially the stealth all work amazingly and you truly feel like a bad-ass samurai warrior every step of the way through the 15-ish hour story which, in the spirit of classic samurai movies, tells a compelling tale that serves as a great backbone for a dip into an astonishing world.

    Everything in the game is almost perfect... almost. The only real problem the game has is it's hit or miss stealth system which is obviously less advanced than the incredible combat and the fact that towards the end of the game, there is an unfortunate focus on stealth missions which just don't feel as tight as the rest of the game. The only other tiny problem the game has are some physics bugs that I started experiencing towards the end of my playthrough - nothing game breaking or too annoying but still a small issue.

    Despite these small problems I still felt like giving the game a 10/10 when the credits rolled, but then I thought about it and realized that GoT can be better, a little better, but still, it has room for improvement and I want to see that happen in a future sequel. That is why I'm giving this masterpiece a 9/10 (maybe even a light 9.5)

    Ghost of Tsushima is not a perfect game (there is no such thing). I wouldn’t even say it does anything new that we haven’t seen before.

In that way, it does not really advance the industry forward. Everything it does do however, it does so well that it does end up pushing the industry forward drastically in terms standards. 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

I wish there would be more useful armour and weapons, after doing half of the game I had already maxed out everything so there was no need to do any other side missions besides the tales for the support characters to perhaps know more about them.

    The best tales were lady Sawako and Norio, the sensei Ishikawa tale was disappointing a little bit at the end, they built up one of the characters to an extent and then it seems the writer didn’t commit to it. It was disappointing. The same goes for the final battle against Kothun kan.

However, the repetition of side tasks in the middle and late stages of the game is too high, and the initial exploration fun is much less. However, this aspect is also a common problem in European and American open world games, which requires the overall progress of the industry to promote.

    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.
