    Great open world game！The developers are making what players want rather than teach players how to play games. Trash Neil

    Absolutely loving this game! After the nightmare that was TLOU 2. It's nice to have a game that doesn't disrespect it's characters or it's players. First of all the game is stunning looking, with an insane draw distance! To me this is the best looking open world game. This game is about stopping and smelling the roses, viewing the incredible sights, and being a badass samurai. CombatAbsolutely loving this game! After the nightmare that was TLOU 2.

Always loved Sucker Punch but this game moves them into the top tier of game development! Forget the lazy reviews that say this is nothing more than an AC clone. Nonsense this game has a ton of original features. I can't wait to see how a Ps5 patch will make this game shine even more. I can only imagine what a Ps5 sequel would look like! Buy this game! Support quality!… Expand

    The game graphics is outstanding, you feel like a real samurai playing it especially with fight stances and even the side missions Feels like a main story and you get attached to the characters. There are a lot of amazing stuff the game have that I didn’t mention. Can’t stop playing it.

    I had my doubts about yet another open world game, just with a different coat of paint, but GOT is more than just a different skin. It must be hard to take the genre of open world games and come up with something that feels fresh while still following the usual formula.

It must be hard to take the genre of open world games and come up with something that feels fresh while still following the usual formula. Ghost of Tsushima is the best of this genre I have played in the last 15 years. I hate games that hold your hand and have 200 icons on the screen, this game uses the wind to tell you where to go, a simple yet clever mechanic. The combat is not hard and not easy it is balanced perfectly while being fun.

    I am only into the 2nd act of 3, and I am not bored. The story is good, the side quests are better than the norm and the environment is very detailed and doesn't feel like it has been copy pasted. I believe there are over 40 biomes, and the way they blend/transition into one another is very well done. The game also lets you play how you want to, you can be sneaky or full on kamikaze mode.

    If you have been bored with Assassins Creed games, but like open world style, give this a go.    … Expand

Начиная с сюжета, где в угоду исторической справедливости отсутствует социальная (впрочем, как и во всей игре) и заканчивая графикой и атмосферой средневековой Японии и острова Цусимы. Боевка это лучшее, что есть на данный момент в подобных играх, и дело не только в механике боев, которая является квинтэссенцией лучших элементов из систем типа "удар-мощный удар-блок-уворот" доведенной до совершенства, но и антуражем, в частности звуком, анимацией, применением различных стилей (они здесь реально работают и необходимы!) - в итоге каждый удар катаной ощущается прямо-таки физически. Стелс есть, он интересен за счет того, что быстр, ненапряжен и является по сути дополнением к бою лицом к лицу. ОТдельное спасибо Sucker Punch за систему сбора ресурсов - Дзин умеет их собирать на бегу и на скаку, не останавливаясь и не тратя время игрока на ненужную анимацию. Прокачка, по крайней мере на высоком уровне сложности, необходима, способности продуманы и среди них нет ненужных (ну кроме наверное помогающих находить различные места интереса на карте).
    И вишенькой ко всему этому геймплейному великолепию - сюжет и атмосфера игры. Сюжет про то, чем готов поступится человек для достижения важной для него цели, про честь и доблесть, без всяких повесточек.
    Атмосфера... Это первая игра в открытом мире, где мне хочется передвигаться пешком, любуясь пейзажами, встречая по пути какие-то интересные места и события. При чем все это работает на максимальное соответствие месту и времени, что способствует максимальному погружению в игру. Кстати, разработчики выполнили обещание, и в игре нет однотипных и набивших оскомину сайдквестов - каждый проработан отдельно и имеет свою сюжетную арку. Особенно приятно, что даже захват аванпостов обыгран в духе "случайно кого-то спас, он рассказал, что там-то есть монгольский лагерь, в котором плохие монголы как-то (за 20 часов игры всегда по разному) гадят местным".
    Из минусов отмечу только камеру а-ля Dark Souls и невменяемый таргетлок (да он здесь есть, но настолько не очевидный, что лучше бы его вообще не было, ибо о его существовании игра тебе напоминает только тогда, когда ты хочешь бить ближайшего противника, а перс лочится на чувака вообще в другой стороне).
    Короче, я в восторге, чего давно не было, тем более от Сони-эксклюзивов, надо брать!    … Expand

    A game of exceptional quality, though it suffers from the open world disease of littering the map with repetitive side attractions and collectibles.

    The mechanics resemble the older Assassin's Creed games, though enemies in open combat do not go down in one hit. The stance system is, in my opinion, the single best innovation this game has to offer. With four stances to choose from, you have a total of 12 different basic combat moves. Held heavy attacks, for example, can become stabs, roundhouse kicks, a flurry of slashes, or whirlwind aoe swings. And that's before getting into special moves and counters. Choosing the right stance to counter your current enemy allows this game to avoid the same level of mindless button-mashing that makes similar games go stale.
    Stealth-wise, there's the typical half-blind enemies that take all of five seconds to spot you, and somehow are unable to see a man in black robes hidden in a field of white flowers. Enemies in stealth are more vigilant than in other games. I was caught off guard by how enemies would group up and one would always be walking backwards while patrolling during their period of elevated awareness. It's a shame that there are no guard archetypes that can ignore lures and will remain at their post, forcing you to kill them on that spot or engage them in combat. (8/10)

    The individual storylines and elements in this game are not innovative or original, but the game makes up for it by tying them together into a nice coherent greater story. As a game set historically in ancient Japan, it takes some artistic liberties, but is mostly respectful of that culture and set of values. There is no shoehorning in of modern politics to ruin it. (7/10)

    Visually and aurally, the game is truly spectacular. There are some texturing issues that crop up, but the game presents stunning scenery and great sound effects that are wholly appropriate for this game. I did run into a gigantic framerate and game speed drop during one boss fight, though my PS4 had been running for two days. There are some physics glitches that occurred, but these are far and few between. (8/10)

    Base Score (7.7/10)

    Additional Factors:
    It is a decent highly polished single-player only experience. With no microtransactions. Or a season pass or extra DLC. This is a complete game, released as a complete game, with no **** That alone is worth an extra point on the review score.

    Historically, some things are wrong. Katana did not exist at the time period of the game, the samurai armor is not period accurate, and the japanese is MODERN japanese. But these are artistic liberties taken for understandable reasons, and they do not detract from the gaming experience.

    Final score: (9/10), rounded up from 8.7/10

    My rubric:
    0/10: Unfinished. I never give credit for unfinished work.
    1/10: Alpha. Severely Broken. There was an attempt, but that's all that can be said.
    2/10: Beta. Major improvements needed, but at least the game is beyond the conceptual stage.
    3/10: Broken. Some work is required to optimize and fix the technical issues.
    4/10: Unimpressive. Falls below expectations, but otherwise a functional game.
    5/10: Average. On par with other games of its bracket. No more. No less.
    6/10: Novel. There are a few aspects that are different from others of its kind.
    7/10: Exceptional. Significantly better than the average game.
    8/10: Stand-out. Truly innovative mechanics/story, very high quality.
    9/10: Masterpiece. Very few flaws. Minimal improvements can be made to this game.

Some fetch quests can be repetitive(like to do this you have to bring him in for him to come you have to talk to some other guy, that guy will only help if you help him find some other guy).

Honestly, if ya wanna game of epic combat, great scenery, great characters, decent storyline, awesome mobilization and open maps, this is the way to go. Unlike other big brand co. games(TLOU II T-T') this is worth every cent. While the combat is a bit challenging at first the reward is oh so satisfying once ya nail it. Oh yeah and actually really enjoyed the artwork for this it's pretty interesting to look at and the detail that they put to every weapon in game. Since I'm still a student it's awesome to have some knowledge on the moguls come up in a game and know some bits here and there. Also the characters are lovable btw very important even the villains, as they should be. (BE WARNED, THE bad reviews are salty TLOU fans review bombing this masterpiece don't let em fool you!

    I sincerely had a blast playing this game and even if it may not be as “refined” as for instance RDR2, it is still at least as great of a game but more fun than any other open world game this generation. If one loves or even likes the samurai-genre, this game is a must. The game has strong women and strong men as it should have as a modern game, even if it is a historic setting. But the game is first foremost and last just that, a game. And a game should be fun and entertaining to play and this game delivers on so many fronts.

    This is together with HZD and RDR2 my favorite games this generation and this may be my absolute favorite! I am married to a Japanese woman since 14 years now and I am a historian by education even if I do not work with history at the moment. And the game is not very historical at all except for the fundamental premise of a mongol invasion of Tsushima, but that does not matter at all since the studio have chosen fun and cool before historical correctness. And I have to say that they struck a perfect balance with this game!

    I had high expectations and for a brief moment, I thought that the game will disappointment me because the begining with the tutorial feels very tedious. However, after you get trough that and the game opens up, you'll truly see the magic behind this game.

    The visual style of this game is incredible. The colors are so vibrant that your expensive OLED TV will cry tears of joy.

    The visual style of this game is incredible. The colors are so vibrant that your expensive OLED TV will cry tears of joy. With RDR2, Horizon and Witcher 3, this has to be one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest open worlds right now.

    There is a huge immersion factor because there is basically no HUD on the screen and the wind is your compass. It also adds a lot visually because if the wind kicks in, there are particles all over the screen. Its clear that the devs learned from Breath of the Wild.

    The combat takes some time to get used to, especially since there is no lock on function but if you get the hang of it, it really feels satisfying. Cutting trough your enemies while blood covers your armor, then cleaning your sword and bow before your dead enemies... you truly feel like a samurai.

    Quests and characters may not feel like other over top SONY productions but surprsingly the side quests are really interesting. Also there are some really nice side activities but dont worry, the map is not full with question markers.

    There are some minor bugs especially with the enemy AI where NPCs are stuck on the stairs or run in circles but they are rare and wil be probably fixed with the next patch.

    For me this game feels like some sort of meditation. Everything is so beautiful and calm. This is one of those games where I constantly keep switching into photo mode and my god, this is the best photo mode in any game (and Spiderman already had a good one). The photo mode switches from gameplay into settings without any waiting and offers you so much! Time of day, weather conditions, wind settings, particle settings. If you wanna see what this mode is capable of, check out the screenshots on Twitter! I love it!

    The PS4 era slowly comes to an end and this game truly does justice to an amazing console. Its over, there wont be any big exclusives anymore and the console can finally rest after so many amazing years and games. Hats off to SONY!

    PS: One thing worth mentioning are the VERY short loading times. Like really, how did they do that? Also my PRO is surprisingly quiet when playing this game. Well done Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    Reply value? Hell yeah I really hope for a new game plus. Just don't use fast travel and the game is 100 hours plus for sure. Its the first game where I dont use any fast travel and I think I am around 35 % now. The Sidemissions are incredible good writen and they really can give you this empathy moments even for NPCs. Every encounter with an enemy feels epic and not repetitive at all.

    The world it self has so many nice visuals its incedible for a Ps4 to handle that without getting to loud like in other latest games.

    If you like Assains Creed,Samurai and Ninja games get this game you don't gonna be disappointed.
    Its like Asssains Creed has a child with Tenchu but with actual a good fighting system.

    The fighting is just incredible you can take out a whole army with your skills and its feels so dam awesome when you win the fight.

    Especially the duels...dont wanna spoiler just epic

    I really hope Sucker Punch will be successful with this game!

    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.
