    - A serious samurai story without bells, whistles and other desperate attempts to impress people. I, also, enjoyed the dark tone of the game, keeping the comedy elements to the minimum. Not *every* story has to have the classic comic relief character.

    - Interesting characters and backstories (just take my advice and do all the character side missions)

    - Very nuanced combat system which indeed makes you feel like a legendary samurai.

    - Breathtaking open world. The art direction is phenomenal.

    - Memorable soundtrack.

    - The atmosphere of the game and the level of immersion are unparalleled.

    - (bonus) For those who grew up with Kurosawa's films and/or samurai stories, this is a game tailored specifically for you. Like, it checks *every* box on the list.

    The cons:
    - Bad AI.

    - Very basic stealth mechanics.

    - The camera.

    - The fox/bird mechanic can get irritating at times. I think it should be toned down.

    All in all, this is a great game, truly. It has its flaws, but once it clicks you just don't care about them that much.    … Expand

    Because I'm a trophy hunter, I had to finish Maneater before starting on Ghost of Tsushima. Maneater was ok as fun. Anyway, that's why I'm a little late to the party on this one.

    This game is actually a game I wanted to share some thoughts about, unlike Maneater which is just some great mindless fun. Right off the bat I thought Ghost of Tsushima took you right into the action, and I loved it. I didn't even know where we were but I also yelled "For >Tsushima!!" as I charged down the hillside. My point is I was pulled into the setting and story right away.

    What really grasped me at first was the stunning use of color, saturation and contrast. Every aspect of the graphics generally really wowed me. Then I got to experience the combat as a samurai. Before I got to explore any of the skills, learn any of the skills I thought the combat was satisfying. Even more so with the following perks. As the title sugguest you can be the "ghost". Which is also really satisfying. People say it's like Assassins Creed but in a samurai setting. That's like saying Doom is like Call of Duty with demons. No, Ghost of Tsushima feels alot more like it's own. Not like Assassins Creed or any other game with stealth elements. Sometimes the game forces you to do tasks as the ghost. Like telling you that if you get spotted it's game over. Although I love the stealth gameplay aswell as the thrilling face to face combat. I wish the game offered you more RPG elements in that regard. I think I should be able to always go the "honorable" way if I choose to. I played through the story with both the samurai gameplay aswell as the ghost on hard difficulty and I enjoyed every moment of it.

    Call me sappy, but I had some tears 3 times during the story. The game really explore every main characters and make you understand them and somewhat care about them. I thought they built their characters superbly. There was 1 or 2 characters I didn't really care about, but I think that might be subjective. The story overall was perfect and I couldn't ask for more. And this review has gone on for long enough, I just really wanted to share my opinions because this game really suprised me in alot of ways.
    One thing I thought was kinda bad for me as a trophy hunter is that the game has an obvious armor with traits you feel like you have to use if you are a trophy hunter. Because it gives you 60% map unfogging and the controiller shakes when you're near a secret or collectible. I never used any other armor or explore different combinations because of that trophy hunt. But if you don't really care about trophies, this is not an issue at all. The armor and items gives you plenty of different choices and combinations you can explore and tailor to your playstyle.

    I loved this game, and it's absolutely a high contender in my game of the year list. I thought it was beautifully done and the story was excecuted excellently. I'm hoping for a sequel in the near future!. Great job Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    The only thing i really found annoying about the game was the lack of lip syncing with the Japanese voices with the character models. I absolutely loved the choice of the VA for Zoro being the VA for the main character. Otherwise its a beautiful game.

    Aside from the very few bugs on release and something at the very end I disagree with, this game is absolutely amazing. With amazing graphics, interesting characters, and a wonderful story, this is an amazing tribute to Japanese culture and a great way to honour those who died defending Tsushima.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I started playing the game right after the release and had smaller and larger breaks in between. Now, after almost 50 hours, I'm done and very happy to have started it again and again.

    story

    For me the greatest strength of the game. The campaign is divided into three acts and shows a clear increase. Act 2 had parts that made me pause again and again, but the transition to act 3 and especially the last act raised the game by one point for me.

    The first Mongol invasion in Japan around the island of Tsushima is treated. You play the fictional samurai Jin Sakai, who establishes himself as a legend on the island in the course of the game and defies the Mongols with everything he has. Khotun Khan as Mongol leader wants to subjugate the island and Jin is forced to operate outside the ways of a samurai.

    I found the villain in particular to be a strongly chosen character who was staged very well and symbolized the strength and cruelty of the invasion. In connection with this, however, the rebellion of this island against the overpowering Mongol army through skill and solidarity was very successful.

    The game has some incredibly good dialogues and knows how to convince with the whole atmosphere it creates. In addition, there are many well-made cutscenes, but they have to cut back on facial expressions. For some characters that was just too wooden, too generic.

    In addition to these two main characters, there are also numerous minor characters who have done really well side quests. Although many are about revenge, the outcome is not always the same. Characters like Masako, Yuna or Sensei had nice quest series and really feel like Jin's constant companion and sometimes like newly made friends united to stop the invasion.

    The synchronization does the rest and is done very well, but I also played it in the original every now and then.

    Here are some more quest example highlights: The Spirit of Yarikawa, A Reckoning in Blood, Hidden in the Snow.

    Atmosphere / graphics / performance

    I've played the Ps5 in performance mode for the last 20 hours and it went absolutely smoothly. Wonderful to play. By the way, Tsushima Island looks fantastic. The different colors of cherry blossom petals and many other flora is simply beautiful to look at and offers you fantastic opportunities to use the photo mode again and again (I used it a lot).

    You never get bored of marveling at the scenery, riding through the landscape and enjoying the many colors.

    But not only the set design is convincing, the music also contributes immensely to the atmosphere and is just great to hear.

    All gold that glitters? What I especially missed about Tsushima were really striking places that really look great. The villages or smaller settlements or large fortresses were too generic for me, not present enough. I would have liked to have had more of these passages that are really remembered, such as the big Buddha statue in the Omi monastery.

    So you have a beautiful landscape, which lacks the distinctive villages in detail.

    I also have to say that I often had problems with all the NPC characters right at the end. They often went on the spot and I had to wait for it to continue. Maybe that was a bit of bad luck, as I hardly had any such problems in Act 1 or 2.

    An essential feature of the game is slowing down. Everything should be absorbed, played patiently and not rushed through hastily. Each mission is introduced with a character and the mission title and there is also a brief moment to pause after the mission. I'm actually a fan of slowing down and it didn't bother me during the main missions, but with other gameplay mechanics.

    A constant deceleration is not really my thing and has always led to the fact that I put the game aside again for the time being.

    For example very simple secondary tasks felt artificially inflated by this staging. You also had to spy out camps, etc., which really annoyed me because I often wanted to have the option to just go in front of the gate and challenge everyone and not be forced to play in stealth mode. Especially these stealth missions were too much for me and towards the end you were constantly forced to sneak past and act secretly.

    In any case, to underline Jin's struggle with himself and his samurai code, one has to go other ways, but I think that some situations could have been resolved with a choice. Also, I wouldn't always have needed the animations after each mission and would have gladly pushed them aside. As I said, it was too constant for me to slow down.

    The combat system is actually pretty awesome. You have many different ways to defeat opponents, especially many tools at hand such as e.g. the smoke bomb. You also have combo bars that you can fill up and the opportunity to heal yourself. I only recently played Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice and even if Ghost of Tsushima is easy to fight, I think Sekiro is miles ahead.

    But all in all awesome Game! 9/10    … Expand

But after like 70 hours into it, I can safely say that this is hands down the best samurai game ever made. Combat is simple (4 stances for 4 different types of enemies. dodge/parry when you need to), but it managed to keep interesting till the end. Story is really unique, probably a rather more interesting story in a video game. Graphics look really good, not because they look "realistic" but because of the art design. It is, again, very unique and special.

    The only thing that is considered to be "bad" to me is that this game uses a old formula established by Assassin’s Creed long ago, which is rather hard to surprise anyone now. However, it is a old Assassin’s Creed done right. This is what Assassin’s Creed should be like, not a **** money grabber that pops up every other year with a more and more sloppy story to go with just to keep the series going.

    Naughty Dog - THIS is how a game should be; not that depressing crap that was the Last of Us 2. Next time try spending less time subverting expectations and focus on just making a damned fine game.

    Sucker Punch - thank you for an amazing game. The Ghost of Tsushima is a game that people will love to play and will come back to over and over; not one that people have to force themselves just to finish.    … Expand

While missions can get repetitive, the world combat and story make me want to play all of it. This is the best open world assassins creed game ever, no contest. My favorite part about this game is the story and setting. This is a beautiful game, dealing with complex issues like war crimes, honor, and politics. The characters are very believable, with Sensek ishimawa having the most interesting story arc. This is a game we needed in 2020. Well done Sucker punch.… Expand

    Voice acting is by far my favorite part of the game. It feels like they used actual japanese people speaking english, and I love it. Each phrase, each word, feels like it was used with the needed power in it.
    The story seems interesting so far, in it's old fashioned samurai way. Must play much more before I can give a proper story opinion. A bit repetitive, but enjoyable

    It's a great new game from Sucker Punch. It's not perfect from technical side (some collision bugs, some kind of npc lags or AI weak sides), but this game still shows us, how great can be game, if you will add different specific and aesthetic details. They're everywhere - from wind that points on the quest target to sword hiding animation.

    TLDR: The game is a beautiful experience, if what you have seen so far doesn't sell you on it, I don't know what will. Mechanically, it is one of the most enjoyable games I have played in a long time. The narrative effectively propels you to the end but it won't break the mold. It could use a few tweaks here and there but overall, it is definitely worth the price of entry.

It could use a few tweaks here and there but overall, it is definitely worth the price of entry.

    Graphics: Visually, this game is stunning. Not so much because of graphical fidelity (it's good but not mindblowing) but the style, the art direction that this game goes for... they nailed it. It's not too often i find myself compelled to actively search for reasons to use photo modes to get that perfect screenshot. The environments, the lighting, the effects are all fantastic. My only gripe on this aspect is I wish the photo mode had more options to play around with.

    Game Play: With regards to how it plays mechanically, is -nearly- flawless. There are some minor tweaks it could use in input registration in my opinion. Multiple times i found myself unable to attack or block due to a weird bug where I would try to block, it would do the animation but it wouldn't actually block an incoming attack. Thankfully it only happened a handful of times. Beyond that, the combat is some of the most fun I have had in a game in a long time. Kills, whether through ghost style or samurai style were just so satisfying. The animations, the flow, even minor effects such as directional blood splatter just immersed me in each moment. Exploration is fantastic, apart from graphics, it is often a rewarding experience to run off the beaten path. The game play loop, however, while a lot of fun is not groundbreaking and can start to feel a bit tedious. Even though combat is phenomenal, the random encounters get stale fairly quickly. Traversal is similar to the Assassin's Creed games albeit in a slightly more limited fashion. You can climb most things but you don't quite have the freedom in where you can climb a building or cliffside. Other than that, it is on point. I did not experience any issues beyond the occasional leap to my death when trying to step off a ledge onto a lower one.

    Narrative: The story is good, it's not amazing though. The pacing was fine, the structuring was good. It just wasn't super compelling for me. It does have it's moments though. Nothing quite like a good samurai duel that puts you on the edge of your seat. The character's were fleshed out decently for a open world adventure but I would have liked more of it. The voice acting for the most part was pretty good, though it was a bit unusual having the English dub be the more appealing choice due to animation sync. Not that it's a bad thing, just weird. There was some moments though that kind of broke immersion in that a character would say or act one way in a cutscene but then a different way outside of it that just took me out of the moment. Or when a character would repeat something the main character just said like they didn't just hear it two seconds before. Overall, the narrative gets the job done but it could have used some more polish, if for nothing else but continuity.    … Expand

There are very few that hit the mark for me, but this is certainly one of them.

    Let's get the nitpicky negatives out of the way. The game could really use an FoV slider. The camera is generally far too pulled in for my taste. The camera also has a tendency to get in the way during prolonged or close-quarters combat because the game doesn't apply any transparency to objects very close to it. Again on the camera, it would also be nice to get rid of the acceleration effect, although it's fairly minor. An option for lock-on would also be appreciated, since in large encounters, it feels like I'm spending most of my time trying to re-adjust the camera so I can see after every dodge or parry, which is to say every 2-3 seconds.

    Also the game tries to wrench control from you occasionally in combat. There were moments when I was pushing toward a certain enemy to attack them, and as soon as I hit an attack button, Jin would swerve wildly to the side to attack a different enemy. A huge no-no in any action game imo, and far too common in recent generations. This is with aim assist OFF.

    My only other real gripe is that the lip-sync goes completely out the window when you switch the voice acting to Japanese, making it a little jarring during cutscenes.

    Now onto the good. There's a lot, so I'll just bullet point it.

    -The visual style and presentation are absolutely gorgeous
    -The story is gripping, tense and well-written
    -The game's atmosphere is top-notch, from somber lonely moments to epic cinematic highs
    -The sound design is impeccable, with sounds being a massive aid in combat for anyone with a good setup/headphones
    -The soundtrack is beautiful and ranges from haunting, subdued tracks to blood-pumping themes that perfectly fit the mood of war and combat
    -The voice acting is very solid, even in English. No bottom-barrel funimation ****
    -The combat is fluid, intuitive and rewarding.
    -Almost all the upgrades you can choose feel substantive and have real effects on gameplay.
    -Exploration is fun and rewarding, both because there are many things to find and do, and because the world is so incredible to look at.
    -Nearly every encounter can be tackled in a great variety of ways, making every build and upgrade path feel 100% viable.
    -Skill is rewarded, and a skilled player with relatively few upgrades can manage encounters that will bury a lesser player with a far more upgraded character.
    -Animations are fluid and for the most part blend into one another very well, with only minor exceptions.
    -Overall, it feels much more immersive, enjoyable and unique than the vast, vast majority of open-world AAA drivel on the market.

    Also, bonus points for:

    -NO identity politics.
    -NO **** ironic millennial humor.

    There are far more positives, but I think this pretty well sums up the game well enough. Play it. Play this game.    … Expand

    Love the combat and the gphx ( besides the gphx inside the buildings). I like the story and i am very happy there is no *kill 10 mongols* quests.. Every quest has some story to it. The ai is dumb as hell but thats why i give it a 9 not a 10

    Игра шикарная, до последнего не верил в успех игры, но купил по скидке 50% (акция в магазине). Японский сетинг прекрасен, все эти самураи, ниндзя, кланы, войны, мечи, честь и т.д.

    An excellent combat system which allows many play-styles, sublime graphical presentation and an emotional story help 'Ghost of Tsushima' stand far above its 'open-world' contemporaries. The world is packed full of activities that are fun, but never feels overwhelming.

    When I seen it was Sucker Punch who was working on this game I immediately knew I was getting it. The inFamous series is one of my favorite game series and I had total faith in SP and they certainly delivered. There is a vast variety of stuff to do in the world, customizations and so much more. The story is great and the gameplay is a blast. I couldn’t recommend it enough.

    One of the best games I've played in a while! I absolutely LOVE this game! No grinding, no loots, no cheap deaths or cheap mechanics. The game is challenging but always fair. Also, this is one of the most beautiful games on the PS4! I only gave it a 9 instead of 10 because it can get a little repetitive while clearing the map.

    Gerçekten çok güzel bir oyun. Hasret kaldığım samuray temasını gerçekçi ve güzel bir açık dünyayla karşıma çıkardığı için Sucker Punch'a teşekkür ediyorum.

    This game is so good. I would like to thank Sucker Punch for bringing me the samurai theme I waited for a long time with a realistic and beautiful open world.

    Combat is really good, can take a few hours for the parrying and dodge to really click, but once it does you start to feel like a real badass. I also love the progression, theres lots of side quests and various tasks that really flow with the main story and dont seem like too much of a chore, especially as the rewards can be very satisfying, depending on the side quest. would have givenCombat is really good, can take a few hours for the parrying and dodge to really click, but once it does you start to feel like a real badass.

    I am officially the 593rd platinum for Ghost of Tsushima, I wanted to platinum this game before leaving thoughts because I felt the quality and consitency of the game deserved my time.

    I break my reviews down into six categories and score them as such: - Gameplay: 9/10 - Score: 9/10 - Aesthetics: 10/10 - Graphics: 10/10 - Voice Acting: 8/10 - Story: 9/10 Overall this comes to    I am officially the 593rd platinum for Ghost of Tsushima, I wanted to platinum this game before leaving thoughts because I felt the quality and consitency of the game deserved my time.

    I break my reviews down into six categories and score them as such:

    - Gameplay: 9/10
    - Score: 9/10
    - Aesthetics: 10/10
    - Graphics: 10/10
    - Voice Acting: 8/10
    - Story: 9/10

    Overall this comes to a 9/10 for me, would probably be 93 for me on a 100pt scale.

    Gameplay: The gameplay in GoT is fantastic, I played on the hardest difficulty and the reason I chose to do so was I wanted to really get into the combat in this game. The combat loop is focused on two distinct areas, Ghost (stealth) and Samurai and the way the game blends these two forms into the story and themes is great (more on that in the story section). Overall Samurai combat in this game is stellar, it's everything you could ask for with combat requiring quick thinking and good timing. Stealth gameplay is a little... I'd say underbaked or too easy. If the goal was to direct players towards Stealthing (which it might've been given the themes), then SuckerPunch definitely created a combat system that heavily favors stealth of Sword fighting.

    Score: The score is sparse when it needs to be and powerful when you want it to be. Oftentimes I found myself riding through an amazing looking environment and wondering "man where's the score" then I'd crest a hill, see something in the distance and all of a sudden flutes and drums start crashing in, created some really amazing and emotional moments. The points where they bring in vocals are really executed well, and the score is incredibly authentic and immersive for the setting.

    Aesthetics and Graphics: Usually I set these apart but I mean come on, google this game and tell me it isn't one of the most beautiful games ever released. The game touted a "Kurosawa Mode" as a selling point but honestly, robbing yourself of the colours in this game would be a travesty. I honestly can't understate how many times this game's environments blew me away, the entire colour spectrum is used to amazing effect, truly a masterpiece in this regard.

    Voice Acting and Story: For this game I chose to use the English voice tracks, usually I'd be fine with the Japanese track however the lip sync is in English no matter which language you play. This won't be an issue for most people but I happen to be partially deaf and when listening to people speak, lips not matching the dialogue throws me way off. So English cast it is, and even then I have to say its extremely impressive what this cast is able to do. Across the board every actor does a great job at being a believable and grounded character. There can be a tendancy in games to go "larger than life" with the characters but here they're very well acted and extremely immersive. Goes to show that even though the game is set in feudal Japan, the fact everyone was speaking English was not immersion breaking for me in the slightest.

    Story-wise the game is an interesting case; I won't get too into the weeds of what did and didn't work but I will summurise as this; the main story itself is actually fairly sparse, though often times it's incredibly high quality and well crafted. I believe there's something like 18-20 main missions, compared to around 65+ side missions and content. What this means is the pacing of the narrative is largely player dependant and so your feelings on things may vary. SuckerPunch did a LOT of work on continuity, and that is extremely appreciated. As missions are optional and can be completed at almost any time, there are many contextual lines that reflect where you are in the main story (i.e. if I did mission X before a side quest, they may refer to the upcoming Mission X. If I did the side quest after Mission X, the characters might refer to the events of Mission X in past tense, this is really awesome).

    Summary: Overall, an achievement in world design and environment art. As we move into the next generation of games there is a case to be made for artistic expression over realism, and while some studios like Naughty Dog will assuredly continue in their endeavor to make games look and play more realistically, I am happy there are other studios out there like SuckerPunch who are willing to take liberties and just make amazing experiences.

    On my scale of: Unmissable, Play it Sooner, Play it Later or Maybe On a Rainy Day, Ghost of Tsushima easily gets an Unmissable    … 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.
