    The visuals, combat, exploration and music is some of the best I have ever seen in a game. The fact that it's in the samurai period is icing on the cake. This is one of my favourite games of all time and I really hope for a sequel or something similar from Suckerpunch.

    La gran sorpresa de PS4, juegazo a toda los niveles, gráficos de ensueño, gran jugabilidad y una historia que engancha. Además de unos tiempos de carga que no me creo en PS4 con un HDD.

    This is the best game I played this Jan 2020 until now. At first I thought this game is like AC games but no. For me the story is great and the graphics too. I think this game can be a candidate on the game of the year. It is a must play game.

Sadly ultra left progressive reviewers bombed this game with 60s and 70s when that is far from the rating it deserves all because it doesn't have thar ultra diverse marginalized cast they always beg for. People need to get off their high horse of virtue signaling and allow people to enjoy games for what they are ENTERTAINMENT NOT POLITICAL STATEMENTS.… Expand

I also really appreciate that you can choose stealth or open combat in most situations. Both systems are fantastic and rewarding. I hope we get a sequel and I hope Sucker Punch doesn’t change up the mechanics too much. This game really balances what I want out of a game, which is some customization (not too much like Nioh), fantastic World building (1st in its class), fun and exciting combat (like God of War), and a continuation of the realistic Samurai experience without otherworldly creatures.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I have come into contact with the work of suckerpunch. This work was created by a Western company based on the motive of another country, but it is surprisingly well understood and well described. Due to the characteristics of the subject matter of this work, it inevitably contains beautification of samurai, but I personally don't think it's a big problem because it also clearly describes the part of alternative history, or rather degrades it. As for the action, it's perfectly designed. I think it is a very good judgment that Parry created a special attack by enemies that cannot be prevented in several stages so that it is not a universal measure. It's a big disappointment that there's no additional content or newgame+, but it's a great masterpiece that ended the twilight of PS4.… Expand

The wind is an added bonus that just makes this title's graphics really stand out. The cutscenes are absolutely stunning, and despite the quantity of them, they actually help improve the games quality. The combat is actually quite impressive, and as you rack up more skill points and unlock new abilities, you really feel like a bad-ass samurai. Jin originally come off as a cut and paste character, but over time evolves into a really deep and intriguing protagonist. I am also a fan of the villains, because they have real motivations and aren't just bad guys for the sake of being bad guys. I don't want to spoil too much of the story in my review, but just know that it gets better and better as the game progresses. In the end, the world overall just feels alive, and there is so much to do that gameplay never gets old for me. I could go on about how much I enjoy this game, and I believe that this game is the perfect samurai style game, even better than Sekiro! What a way to wrap up the PS4!… Expand

Never again will these journalists be trusted; only seen as a joke. Why? FF7 Remake was scored an 8/10 bizarrely, this brilliant game scored a 9/10, whilst the disastrous and very poor story/characters of TLOU2 gave it a 10?. Ghost of Tsushima far, far surpasses TLOU2, in terms of non linear open world gameplay, solid enjoyable gameplay, combat, physical exploration, some puzzling, and most of all a fantastic story and characters. The visuals are some of the most pretty I've seen alongside RDR2. The combat better than the Witcher by a fair margin (it feels solid and every strike meaningful) there's alot of skills to unlock and even different fighting stances. Plus crafting and generous customizing/gear dying to make the hero Jin Sakai your own. The music and sound effects are done well, and the voice acting very good. The only thing I could honestly fault is the stepping down or dropping (not climbing) from rocks and ledges can be a bit janky. Overall, a fantastic game, probably one of the best Japanese sword games I've played since Tenchu made it's debut on PS1. And a Sony exclusive that washes away the bad memory and journalists lies of TLOU2.… Expand

    - the camera i know i listed the camera as a pro but the same reason its a pro is the same reason its a con because they went for a very pretty looking camera that was more cinematic it made for a very poor game camera constantly had enemies swarm me in getting in the way and with the lack of lock on this made a problem same with going in and out of tents
    -the voice acting was kinda bland for some people in English it felt like they were in a studio instead of actually there in Tsushima
    -lack of replayability its an amazing game but its not something you do more than once so for some people this isn't worth the 60 dollars (gaming is an expensive hobby especially single player)
    -while the game is fun and combat is great the game doesn't really make me feel like a ghost of Tsushima stealth should of been the best way for many missions but it didnt seem as powerful or as useful as just putting on your strongest armor and challenging them to a standoff

    To be honest, the review would be a solid 9, but since i liked i will be giving it a 10.    … Expand

    What a way for the ps4 to end. GOT is by far in the top 5 of my favorite games of this console generation. Graphics-fantastic, story-captivating, swordplay-superb. Everything is spot on. Highly reccomend this game. If you don't pick up this obe, you will miss out on one of the best.

Story: Probably the weakest part of Ghost is its story. That's not to say the story is bad, it's just very generic. You're a samurai. Your lord is captured. It's revenge time.

    edit: After passing through most of the story, I've decided to raise my score. It's not a perfect 10. It has flaws. But it's far closer to 10 than 9, and it deserves that higher score.

    Story:
    Probably the weakest part of Ghost is its story. That's not to say the story is bad, it's just very generic. You're a samurai. Your lord is captured. It's revenge time. That's mostly it. That's not to say there's nothing else in the world. In-fact, the secondary stories are quite good, and I find myself more eager to play the side-quests than the main-quest, because those secondary stories really come alive. But the main story is very standard. There's also a ton of collectibles and nice discoverables if that's your thing.

    Combat:

    Combat is interesting. I'm a Soulsborne lover, so coming into Ghost I was wondering how they would approach combat and whether I would enjoy it. I'm pleased to say that the combat is great. It's not perfect. It's not 'challenging'. It's never going to give you that earned satisfaction of a Sekiro. But, it is great at what it wants to be. Combat is essentially Batman: Arkham, but with a little more involvement on the player side. Swordplay is nothing new or groundbreaking, but it feels authentic and competent, and always feels rewarding when you make a perfect parry, or slice through an opponent with Heavenly Strike. You 'feel' like a Samurai when you approach the enemy. Your movements, your parries, your dodges: they all feel like the actions of someone who is, at the end of the day, just a well-trained human. You're not a god. If you screw up, you'll die. If you try to rush headlong into twenty foes, you'll die. If you ignore the archers in the back, you'll die. You're not Batman, teleporting from foe to foe; you're just a man, and you have act like. That means things like stealth and gadgets (think kunais and bombs) are more than just secondary items to rack up cool points, they're life-saving weapons that can even the odds when faced with powerful enemies. I always felt like I was 'doing it right' when I threw a kunai into a couple foes to lower my immediate threats to a single opponent, or sniped a lonely guard from afar with my bow so that I had less to deal with when it came time to assault the horde. The game rewards you for using your arsenal and skillset, instead of giving you three moves that are your 'good' moves, and then a dozen secondary moves where you could take them or leave them.

    Speaking of stealth: it's good. It's not great, but it's good. It has quirks. It's no Splinter Cell. But, at the end of the day, it never made me feel like it was holding back my enjoyment of a section. Plus, the sections where you are forced to stealth were well-crafted and had clear paths where it simply came down to execution. It was a welcome addition that worked properly 95% of the time, and the few times it didn't were easy to overlook, as the combat is so enjoyable.

    Graphics:

    Here's where Ghost wins the game. You hear it often: 'this game looks so real', 'the best looking game ever', 'a true next-gen experience', etc... attached to other games. More often than not, it's just noise. Yeah, games have looked better and better over the years, but at a certain point it just becomes background information. Who cares how real that tree look anymore? All the trees look great. It's just another tree. So when I say this next sentence, understand I do not say it lightly: Ghost of Tushima is the most beautiful game ever made. Yes, I said it, and it's not hyperbole.

    Understand, I'm not saying Ghost is the most graphically advanced game ever made. It's not. There are sub-par elements, textures that aren't quite as sharp as they could be, draw-distances that are a bit exposed in places, and facial animations that are good, but not top-tier. And none of it matters. There has never been a more beautifully realized world in the history of video games. There are, quite literally, not enough words I could use to describe how amazing the world looks. From fields of purple flowers flowing in the wind, to thick, full grass that you can get lost in, I have more than once simply had to stop and watch the world 'live'. I have never felt like a world was more real than the world of Tsushima. Birds fly about, deer get lost in the trees, and the wind carries fallen leaves along the trail, unconcerned for you, the protagonist. It simply 'is' and it is amazing.

    But it's also more than just the beauty of the world; it's the grit of the bloodstained battlefield, the wreckage of Mongol-destroyed villages, the flowing tassels of your samurai armor: it all comes together to make the best looking game I've ever played. You'll know what I mean when you rise up a hill and see the moon cast white through the smoke of a burning city.

    Go buy Ghost of Tsushima. Even if Cyberpunk supplants it, you will still have one of the best games of the PS4 era. 9.5/10    … 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.
