    Fantastic game! I wish there were more games like this out there. Way better than the overrated TLOU 2. It's amazing how fun a game can be when the developers are focused on making a fun game rather than a woke game.

    This game is amazing, Why ? Because this game has all the cool aspects that exist in previous PS games, such as the combination of Tenchu ​​and MGS V gameplay, the soundtrack makes goosebumps like Final Fantasy, God of War class design, and last but not least, classic cinematic accompanied by old school story samurai, SO ... PERFECT.

    My review: Can't believe I actually created an account just to rate this game. Infact I never expected that I would even rate any game in my life. But damn, this game got me real good. I have never expected that an open world game could be as good as this. Out of all open world games, this is the best open world game I have played.The graphics are artistic and make it actually feel like you are in Tsushima. Every 20 min I stop at a place and be like, woah...gotta open photo mode!!!!Also I really like how they removed mini map by adding wind mechanism and it is extremely helpful in immersion in this beautiful world!!! I see a lot of people complaining about combat and saying its boring, as far as I know they are the people who look at the gameplay and be like,"what's so special about it? completely normal sword fights, so booring". I am telling you the combat feels satisfying asf when you play it rather than looking at it and be like there is nothing special about it. Japanese voice acting nailed it, but the mouth sync is completely off which threw me away a few times. Sometimes cut scenes feel like they are from a old 2000's game. But overall the good factors in the game made me not to worry about all these cons. Few say that the open world gets repetitive. Well they are the people who play complete story at one or complete side quests at once. If Main quests and side quests are played simultaneously, the game will be really really good. I enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend this game to any gamer who see a really really good open world adventure.    … Expand

There’s no equipment loot (huge bummer for me). HUGE open world map, many interest points and sub-quests to do, most of which are optional. All missions are linear with no choice or forks. In one word Assassin’s Creed.
    The good part is that the quest stories are usually nice (though not much variety) and the artistic direction and landscape are amazing, also some smart choices like having almost no UI and letting the environment guiding you to your mission points or secrets. The combat is well balanced, skill based and very stunty.
    I have to say, after the initial wow's effect i'm mildly unimpressed. I was expecting an amazing evolution of the Action genre, instead the evolution is purely graphical. The gameplay is the same i have already had for about 400 hours in t Assassin's Creed but if you like that type of game and you want more of that, this is probably as good as it gets.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a competent open world game, and the high point of the game is definitely the sword play and combat. The most fun I had playing the game was when I was surrounded by enemies, switching furiously between stances and beating down a bunch of mongols. The scenery and camera mode are also notable: I imagine GoT’s camera mode will be the gold standard for the next decade.Ghost of Tsushima is a competent open world game, and the high point of the game is definitely the sword play and combat. The most fun I had playing the game was when I was surrounded by enemies, switching furiously between stances and beating down a bunch of mongols. The scenery and camera mode are also notable: I imagine GoT’s camera mode will be the gold standard for the next decade. Gone are the days where you take a single still. The camera lets you track shots, move from point to point, change the focal length and depth of field. The scenery is beautiful, too, so capturing exceptionally good shots is a breeze. The rest of the game is pretty average. The story tries to embody the samurai films that inspire it, but is mostly filled with classic video game cliches and forgettable characters—it even feels really forced and overly simplistic. The quest and level design are both competent, but not something to really write home about—the camps are all reasonably the same, the quests all have the same trajectory (and normally two or three fights) with different characters and stories that are almost entirely forgettable or interchangeable. Even the main quest lines conclude with a siege. Twice. In a row. It felt like they ran out of ideas. The biggest disappointment is the stealth component. In a game whose story purportedly attempts to pit the honor code of the samurai against “dishonorable” stealth tactics, you’d think they’d actually put some time in the stealth mode. The AI is just awful—to test it, I one time walked back and forth across the view cone of a guard from one patch of tall grass to another. 20 times. Never once did they look through the grass. The terrible AI really makes the middling level design feel a lot worse than it really is. It’s just plain boring. I found myself just wanting to stick to the samurai honor code because the combat is so much better than stealth.

    In the end, the game has some good parts. But I think it’s pretty average overall. GoT won’t be replacing Assassin’s Creed as the premiere stealth game, or getting nominated for any GOTY awards, any time soon.    … Expand

The wind mechanic that leads you to your destination is very cleaver From sucker punch because it makes exploration more fun to make the player focus on visual clues like birds to lead to a mission and I have not seen many games trying it . It’s the best samurai/ninja ever created because of the amazing fluid combat system that’s so satisfying that’s makes you feel like a samurai and also with many cool detailed customization. There is some technical problems such the character going through some trees but it’s most has to do with ps4 hardware limitations which is expected in open world games for such an ambitious game or maybe the developers have a plan future patch to fix it. The game loading time Is so fast for an open world game which is an amazing technical achievement by the developers. The story has a great plot of exploring Jin internal struggles of abandoning his samurai code which was a serious offense in Japanese culture at that era and find a new way to save his people from the mighty mongols empire that happened to be strong for the Japanese. I really like the characters especially Jin who is a calm intelligent badass. Overall I had so much fun in this game since far cry 3. It’s a game of the year in my book.… Expand

This game takes all of the best parts of previous games and seamlessly combines them into a masterpiece of a final product. The game runs better than any game I've played in a long time. It has incredible render distance, crisp resolution, rock solid stable fps, and maybe the best lighting and visual effects I have ever witnessed in a video game.

    As for the gameplay, picture a stealth combat system that is reminiscent of Assasin's creed 2.0, with a combat system that is about 10x better and more rewarding than any similar franchise has ever mustered up before. If stealth isn't your thing, simply walk up to the front gates of an enemy encampment and put your dodging/parrying skills to the test to win the fight like a true Samurai; not like some "coward who strikes from the shadows." The game also features brutal and gorey finishers that will result in dismembered limbs and blood hurling in every direction. Buy the damn game. If you want to 100% complete everything, you're looking at a 50-60 hour experience most likely. This is one that will be talked about for years, so you wouldn't want to miss it.    … Expand

    I've spent about 20 hours with the game so far, taking my time to do side quests. Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game is absolutely gorgeous. There are times when I simply have to set the controller down and admire the stunning landscapes, be it a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful field of flowers blowing in the breeze or a crimson forest with leaves scattering all around you.

    The    I've spent about 20 hours with the game so far, taking my time to do side quests. Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game is absolutely gorgeous. There are times when I simply have to set the controller down and admire the stunning landscapes, be it a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful field of flowers blowing in the breeze or a crimson forest with leaves scattering all around you.

    The animations are all, for the most part, excellent and the controls are tight and responsive. There are times once the game 'clicks' where you'll perform what seems like a well choreographed scenes straight out of your favorite samurai flicks. The stealth also feels tight and responsive, and enemies once alerted to your presence work in pairs to try and keep you from sneaking up on more of them, and will sound horns to alert nearby mongols to your presence.

    The camera, however, seems to work against you sometimes. On more than one occasion, enemies will attack you from off-screen simply because the camera does a poor job of facing enemies. A lock-on or ability to quickly refocus the camera may have alleviated this somewhat, though the issue does not come up enough to be a serious downside. It functions most of the time, but it's notable when it doesn't.

    The voice acting has been wonderful, so far and the characters have all been likable, even if somewhat dower (though considering the circumstances of the game, this is well understood.) The story is something I will not comment on as of yet, as I've yet to complete it. My impressions so far, after 20 hours, is that it has been enjoyable if somewhat predictable at times; though once you've consumed enough media, anything becomes predictable.

    Overall, this is one of my favorite games of the generation, and I sincerely look forward to Sucker Punch's next title if they give it the same loving attention as they clearly gave Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

There's a definite cinematic aspect to actual combat that's truly unique. Cutting down an enemy, while having the camera slide to view your next opponent, with grass blowing in the wind and lighting to reflect perspective makes this game a work of art.

    Definitely holds it's own, even stands out, with heavyweights of open worlds. Nice to not feel punished for avoiding stealth take downs, and I can't get enough of the standoffs. Will probably never get a genuine Musashi Miyamoto game but I'll take this.

    Would be a 10, unless I've yet to unlock it, but a realistic or increased difficulty for "hard" would have been ideal. Only regret you'll have is not buying it sooner.    … Expand

The foliage and trees sway around you and the lighting effects are second to none. Sunsets are a joy to behold and I don't think I have ever used photo mode as much as I did in this game. The story can be a bit cliche at times but I am a huge fan of Samurai lore. I experienced very few glitches while playing and load times are some of the fastest for any game I have ever played.

El escenario cambia mediante juegas por ej: si juegas en sigilo hay mas tormentas y lluvia o si juegas como un samurai con honor los cielos están mas despejados y puede parecer una tontería pero este tipo de cosas te hacen ver el juego de otra manera y disfrutarlo aún más.

    - 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great scenery, close to Japanese tradition that even the Japanese critics praise it for that. That together with the Assassin's Creed vibe in an open world creates a really stunning gameplay and the graphics are on a whole new level! I've stopped and paused many times during the first few hours to just marvel at it all. This is entertainment at it's best. This is exactly what gamers want. It's only a pity one cannot trust these review scores because there are a lot of angry REEEEE SJW's that are extremely salty over the fact that everyone is of the opinion tlou2 was just absolute trash/garbage and a dumpsterfire on every way you look at it. The story was trash, the ID-politics were an absolute cringe-feast, Buffy the feminist made no sense, she's bad until she finds the last Airbender that needs to fight the fire nation and it was so depressing that probably half of the gamers afterwards took the pharmacies by storm for some prozac. Naughty Dog totally missing out on why gamers play games or why it's called the entertainment industry in the first place. I'd advise you to go through the negative reviews here and see how many of them unsurprisingly gave tlou2 a 10 and Ghost of Tsushima a 0, which tells you all you need to know that they are just trolls. Wouldn't even surprise me if the majority of them are from salty Naughty Dog employees that can't stand all the hate their game got and how objectively bad it really was; certainly if you compare it with Ghost of Tsushima which is probably a title for the history books and deserves the title 'epic'.… 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.
