    Bravo! Bravo ! Bravo!
    Après Red Dead 2, Ghost of Tsushima est mon coup de cœur des jeux en mode ouvert.
    Ce jeu est une réussite en tous points… gameplay, récit, l’histoire est prenante et les missions secondaires sont très bien pensées et embarquées…

    I'm really enjoying this game as I missed the old Way Of The Samurai games, even though this is not the same it's a very good replacement for that game. I'm hoping this leads to a way of the samurai revival. This game has wonderful graphics and I really enjoy the gameplay.

    It improves upon what was done in games like horizon or spider man (in terms of open world) and it's extremely polished and detailed. It'sjust a work of art

The game surprised me in many ways, from its beautiful environments, surprisingly solid story, and lifelike open world. This game is truly a love letter to the latest generation of the Playstation, and an amazing look forward of what's to come.

    PROS
    Graphics - Beautiful landscapes and scenery
    Story - A seemingly generic tale that was thoroughly entertaining
    Combat - One of the main draws to the game, and it did not disappoint, with the variety of tactics one can use
    Open World - Many things to do in the large, lifelike island of Tsushima

    CONS
    Choppiness - The game is, at parts, rough around the edges. It's not usually distracting, but can be noticeable at times
    Repetition - As with many open world games, repetition can lead to tedium. Be sure to diversify the open world activities that you do

    Overall, I rate the game a 9 out of 10 and would consider it along the lines of a masterpiece. It's a top 10 open world game in my book and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

They did a great job with visuals and the fight/battles are so satisfying, especially the one on one events. I wish there had been some bigger battles that included more people on both sides, like an open grasslands fight with like 200 on each side. Maybe that's a bit much but you get what i mean. There are of course some things here and there that could be improved but everything else you get to do makes up for it. I like game company's that actually give their customers what they want, a fun game to play!… Expand

    Desde la propuesta inicial de una invasión mongola en la isla de Tsushima la cual provocaría la muerte de todos los samuráis existentes en la isla, salvo un par. Una propuesta cautivadora que no me hizo querer despegarme del control por muchas horas.

    Desde la propuesta inicial de una invasión mongola en la isla de Tsushima la cual provocaría la muerte de todos los samuráis existentes en la isla, salvo un par. Una propuesta cautivadora que no me hizo querer despegarme del control por muchas horas.
    Me encuentro en el tercer acto y con 61 horas puedo dar una opinión y de la historia, la historia empieza fuerte después decae un pelín pero se recupera y se supera brutalmente en el acto 2, en especial en la misión de la invasión al castillo Shimura y defendiendo a Yarikawa, esas dos misiones tuvieron momentos que me dejaron pasmado.... cuando masacro al líder mongol en Yarikawa, simplemente impactante. No solo por lo grafico si no por el peso narrativo. Y en el asedio al castillo Shimura donde su tio ve a El Fantasma envenenar y decapitar mongoles para infundir miedo.
    Y posteriormente cuando le dice a su tío que no es su hijo, es El fantasma. Simplemente alucinante y me dio pena cuando Shimura quemo el "contrato" que convertía a Jin en su hijo legitimo aprobado por el Shogun. Y que posteriormente su tío quisiera llevar a juicio ante el Shogun, al que consideraba su hijo hace poco. Momentos de la historia cómo esos hacen que valga completamente la experiencia y acompañados de un mapeado hermoso como lo es la isla de Tsushima, repleto de muchos relatos que contar e historias míticas. Y un pueblo de Tsushima vivo el cual constantemente los NPC´s comentan mis hazañas en la historia desde mi inicio como Samuai hasta mi acenso a ser "El Fantasma De Tsushima".
    En el aparatado jugable simplemente cada vez me sorprende mas, desde el viento guía teniendo el significado que es su padre que lo guía en su viaje hasta mas recientes, no parando de introducir elementos jugables, los mas recientes como "La postura del Fantasma" y el cañón de flechas que se usa en zonas puntuales. Y uno que pinta que llegara pronto es la flecha envenenada. Simplemente alucinante y ver las ultimas sorpresas que me deparan. El combate una vez que lo dominas es una constante danza de sangre... encantador.
    Otros apartados como el sonido, doblaje, gráficos,
    El audio siendo nuevamente un apartado sobresaliente y el buen doblaje al español latino que siempre se aprecia.
    Si bien los gráficos no son punteros como puede ser Red Dead Redemption 2 o The Last Of Us Parte 2, estos cumplen muy bien sin tener nada que envidiar a sus contrincantes.
    De momento le doy un 9.2 pero en esta reseña le doy 9 porque es la cifra mas aproximada. En cuanto finalice el juego tratare de editar esta reseña u hacer otra simplemente hablando de su desenlace y últimos elementos que trascurrirán en este tercer acto. Y diciendo sus puntos negativos que le vi al juego, o no necesariamente negativos pero si mejorables que me detienen en darle una nota superior. Seguiré con mi leyenda y probablemente un platino.

Another thing that I loved about the Side missions is that they were always a different narrative, even if they follow a similar premise. What this game does so well is that it doesn’t force you to do the side content, but it makes you want to do it. That is the reason why the open world is on the level of red dead’s or Witcher 3. Exploring in this game is insanely fun, I don’t know how many times I just drifted off doing activities like chasing a fox or bird instead doing the main story. I also have to give props to the photo mode, which is the best one we have ever scene. Overall this game is amazing and everyone should play this great game.… Expand

    Then why did I gave it 9/10 instead of 10/10? The only issue is the stealth game play. I don't think they haven't quite figure it out within the scope but the sword fighting part is sooooo entertaining and I'd give it 20 out of 10 if possible.

    Taking into account the fact that I practically love Japanese culture, which can prevent me from having a 100% critical position towards this game, however, I doubt that it is not worthy of the high scores given by the users.

    Now either in terms of the concept of the game or rather in the context in which it is located not only for me a big fan of Japanese culture but also for people who are not very familiar with it, it seems a great success on the part of Suker Punch, put not only in video games but also in the movies, a story has been placed within the kamakura period, that is, the period in which the Mongol invasion took place, the reason why I think it is a success is that just precisely at that time the development of a character could be appreciated quite well as a samurai would avenge his people after an enemy invasion, implementing well not only the arrival of the enemies you face, but also the actions and the how the secondary and tertiary characters as well as the protagonist Jin Sakai are developed.
    As for the development of the characters, you can get to see a good job, showing in a very realistic or better human way the different problems that develop within the game, in certain cases you can see certain decisions in which you think not They are the correct ones, however, I think it is a success since a character who always makes choices perfectly does not feel human, this also allows a good development of the main story, which I think has as its main purpose, to show the Like a war that devastated the island of Tsushima and what this triggers, it changes the behavior and thought throughout the plot, what I mean is that there is not a contrast only between the beginning and the end as usual pass in other titles, if not the characters evolve after each event in the game.
    Now changing the subject I want to highlight the incredible graphic section that the game presents, until I tried Ghost of Tsushima, I had never seen a graphic section that focused more on representing the beauty of the landscape than its own realism, although it is true that if you are looking well within the wide world of tsushima you can find textures that after you observe them for a while you realize that they do not look so good, I think that is not the end of the game, if not beautify the landscape with certain resources that seemed to me Incredible like the amazing movement of the lawn and sometimes multiple particles like the leaves or the lawn itself, while some games focus on incredibly detailed and practicing textures without any pixels, GoT focuses on lighting or reflection and on the movement of things like grass, which in my opinion give as a unique satisfaction and which I think was completely adequate to represent the great beauty of Japan.
    However, after all these great successes, it is notable that the biggest failure he has is his artificial intelligence in general, not only the enemies that many times can pass from you completely even if he is in front of them, which greatly affects the style of stealth combat, but also the artificial intelligence of the NPCs and their different patterns, many times it comes to feel that they are robots that when you pass in front of them they answer you with a calculated and perfect body movement, which can ruin in certain it forms the atmosphere that the game generates in places like towns or camps.
    As for more specific levels such as certain technical touches, more specifically the collisions which in my opinion should have polished them much more, it is a failure which I see as one of the most notorious, mainly the collision that the main character has with the slopes u some objects that houses the world, I feel that if they had taken a little longer to improve certain technical aspects it would have been a game that without a doubt would have deserved a 10.
    In conclusion, this is an incredibly good and much better game for people who love ancient Japanese culture, or the culture of war in general, however for someone looking for new and unique innovations or mechanics it will be a good game but it will not be a Wonderful    … Expand

    Generation defining visuals with great combat somewhat hampered by occasional clunky camera controls. Story is okay. Definitely recommend diving into a world that is incredibly fun to simply explore.

The villain of the story    Confession I have not beaten the game yet but I still recommend this game, here’s why)
    Yes I would recommend buying this game if you are fans of the genre.

    Story(only beginning and premise spoiler
    The setting is great as it adds a fantasy story to the real Kahn/Mongol invasion of Japan spear headed by Genghis Kahn grandson (historically Real) Kublai Kahn of 1281. The villain of the story is (believe to be fantasy based on the a quick google search of Genghis) Khotan Kahn who invades Tsushima, an island cut off from mainland japan. You play as lord Jin Sakai, nephew to the lord of Tsushima and broken but not dead samurai. After the other samurai were wiped out in the games first battle and the your uncle is capture by the Khotan, Jin is saved by a thief, Yuna and takes the task of saving his uncle and Tsushima...

    Gameplay and setting
    As a samurai before the 1300 to feudal era of japan, you are train to fight with a katana, you are also taught to fight enemies face to face, however as samurai of rules are honor bound the Khotan Kahn’s use this to his advantage as he is villain learn Japanese traditions and uses honor as leverage against Jim and the other samurai. Also you will have attended with the regions bandits, later Ronans. And luckily you have to methods of approach:

    -Samurai- This is done in the standoff mechanic were you have to use reflex response to land the first killing blow not to early or late, the mechanic takes time to adjust to but it works and is great to build your resolve meter, the games in combat health regeneration meter, faster. In combat as the game progresses you get different fighting stance which are good for each archetypes, and the game gives you hints in the form glowing lights to let players dodge or parry certain attacks as blocking isn’t capable of defending the player from heavy blows. However it is fun, difficult but not impossible to learn and enjoy. However there is a bit of difficulty when engaging an enemy group with a hostage as enemies will attempt to kill the hostage giving the player time to rush defense. Yet there is another way of engaging your enemies, even minimizing the danger

    -Ghost of Tsushima, the Worlds first generation Ninja- Although 2 samurais later suggest to maintain honor, your friends such as Yuna, recommends the stealth approach which is seen as dishonorable yet let the players decide with no repercussions. This were the Ghost of Tsushima legend stems as Jim is in an era were the idea ninjas or organization of ninja do not exist or are publicly known and accepted by the shoguns. However although characters will story wise note disapprove your actions, you are actually encourage to approach missions, outpost, fortresses, and capture farms with stealth. To reiterate, if the Mongolians, Ronan or bandits see and engage Jim, one them will attempt to kill the hostage in said areas, mainly farms or villages and if is kill another will attempt it seconds later. From assassination skills to using tools in out of combat, Jin can level the playing field or eliminate all the forces without drawing alarms.

    -Open world and content-
    The games open world have secret and many collectibles. With side mission being relay via Npc you rescue on the road or in the nearest village. From increasing your resolve by cutting bamboo sticks events to following golden birds/foxes to special shrines and hot spring to increase your health.

    -Bugs-
    The bug I can currently see is the one literally on your were quiver is missing but nothing game breaking.

    -Characters-
    The characters are well crafted and literally bring life to the era and region. The characters do well to bring life to the story and I have very little gripes what’s so ever even the very very few LGBT characters.

    -progression-
    Leveling linear and is done by upgrading your health, resolve, skill/technique unlocks and gear.

    -Criticism and conclusion-
    9/10 a must buy if you are a fan the genre or love the era it’s based in.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima what you get when you mix Assassins Creed, Breath of the Wild, and even a the horse back riding from Shadow of the Colossus but set it all in the world of 1274 Japan. Right off the bat you're shown and play a very intense opening prologue that shows you and your allies being defeated by the invading Mongols and it's up to you to help save your island and your people before the Mongols decide to invade the Main Land.
    Other than a pretty good story and moments that make you feel like a complete badass Samurai/Ninja, the visuals are out of this world. I spend more time recording and taking snapshots from this game than any other since I've owned the PS4 for about 7 years. The gameplay is decent and once you learn different tactics on how to take down your enemy, you'll want to try different stances, different maneuvers, and approaches to take down the Mongol enemy.
    What Sucker Punch and their team devolved was a phenomenal open world that makes you feel like you're in 1217 Japan and the sheer beauty of the game takes your breath away and with all that being said, I can't stress enough that if you own a Playstation 4, you need to pick up this last great game before we enter the PS5 era.

    - Problems with objects, animals(your horse) and walls, Jin goes through them in moments.

    - boss fights - the music is one of the best things I’ve ever experienced in gaming, just gave me goosebumps. - every item and armor has its own use, resistance, same with the Katana, bow...
    - you don’t need a map, just follow the wind, that’s innovative, you won’t see nothing taking you to go somewhere. -the message the game gives you, about discipline, honor, value, respect for the opponent are thing we can try in real life, I practice taekwondo and I appreciate that, is something the world should put in practice.

    I've played Ghost of Tsushima over 20 hours, the game has plenty of content, im constantly distracted by the environment, the game is gorgeous. Everytime i plan to do a main mission i get distracted by others stuff like side missions etc... The game tries to keep you hooked, fo real.
    I like the new open world design approach, Sucker Punch did a good job creating a world that tries to encourage you to explore. Im not going to spoil you anything but i really do recommend you guys explore the world. Because if you dont explore the world, you'll miss alot of cool stuff. From cosmetic to new abilities etc...

    The Combat system reminds me of Assassin's Creed: Unity. Its quite challenging tbh. Its not Dark Souls level of difficulty (Thank god) but its fairly balanced. You have 4 types of enemies with each their own fighting style like spears, Brutes, Swords & Archer... The way you counter their moves is by using different Samurai stances, its a neat feature and you can upgrade each stances, again you need to play the game to unlock the new stances by exploring the world and doing side missions.

    However. The game does suffer from the same open world formula, the game has some random encounters like bandit trying to block the road and fight you. Or the mongols attacking you out of nowhere etc... I get it, sucker punch are trying hard to make the world a bit more interactive but it gets repetitive after 10 hours of play. Tbh thats my only downside of the game.

    Overall: I think its worth a buy, i really recommend you buy the game, its a massive world with TONS of content, the combat is really fun & challenging. Sucker punch made a big leap from Sly Cooper, Infamous & now Ghost of Tsushima. Ggs Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    Definitely worth the purchase! This game sucks you in - one of the most immersive graphic and audio experience in years. Rare wow factor. Sony pump money into sucker punch! Needs a bit of work on the side quest story telling/ complexity - which if they hit it out the park as they did the rest of the game it would have taken it to an easy 10 - thank you SP

    Summary:
    “What you see is what you get” and Sucker Punch has delivered exactly that. A rich, beautiful, fun and massive world to explore based on samurais and insanely detailed Japanese culture. I had no second thoughts on pre-ordering this game and calmly waited for the last half hour into the last second anxious to start the game.

    Visuals: 10/10
    Ghost of Tsushima is set during the first mongol invasion which on it’s own sets a very high bar for ANY historically recreated battles of any game ESPECIALLY foreign history. Sucker Punch has done an incredible job even with minor details such as Jin’s attire becoming muddy while treading through muddy trails and shallow rivers. I enjoyed riding to many of the missions and side quests with Kage (my selected horse) or on foot given how much detail was put into the flora and fauna such as deers, bears, boars and guiding birds.

    Gameplay: 9/10
    Even though Ghost of Tsushima utilizes a souls-like combat system with some unique elements such as stances that can easily break your enemies guard’s depending on their weaponry, it shows us that a good defense is sometimes the best offense which I don’t often follow and there were many, many times I have found myself out of health and resolve only to be finished off and trying harder the next time around. A bit of advice from me to you is that you MUST upgrade Jin’s arsenal as you progress or it will delay your progress quite a bit. Also, don’t believe the “clunky” controls negative reviews because the only thing I found frustrating about the controls were just the difficulty of switching from bow to bombs to bells and bow again.

    Story: 10/10
    Storytelling is often the bread and butter of ANY story driven game even to the likes of The Last of Us Part II which I feel was shoved aside in order to introduce new characters that failed to connect with the majority of audiences but I digress. This retelling of a fictional story in a historical event could be seen as a divisive experience but with incredible culture depiction of the settings it comes off as organic to me and just nails it perfectly. Being the last samurai of his clan, Jin must battle with having to break the code of samurai in order to defend the island of Tsushima from these foreign invaders and regain his honor. Sucker Punch has once again succeeded in making a great decision making game.    … Expand

    Não é revolucionário mas faz muito bem o que se propõem. Principalmente no combate e nos gráficos, que são belíssimos, apenas com ressalvas para algumas partes do jogo que as texturas simplesmente destoam do resto.

    This adventure (it is not doing it justice calling GoT a game), was finally what I needed as a history buff and especially of Japan's history.

    My first impression when game was revealed was of disbelief as in,not another AC game. It is far from it. The little "parkour" it has is implemented nicely. Parkour puzzles are simple but still can make you wander around. Combat is the highlight.

    Parkour puzzles are simple but still can make you wander around. Combat is the highlight. Knowing about the ghost action, as mentioned in the beginning I was again in disbelief, another boring stealth mechanic.

    But really there is a ton of times when as a stand out samurai I would go to stealth to dwindle the numbers first as until you progress far enough into better technique and tools its suicide storming the gates of mongol camps.

    The game naturally guides you from honorable combat to the dishonorable as a way of the warrior. Be like water,flow .


    I have yet moooore to play still in act 1.But was playing almost all side missions and it doesn't feel like a grind and I hate grind in games. That is, if you can find these side missions and you can't unless you explore. Now we come to exploring. You can remove even the standard minimal hud and you won't be stucked searching. The wind and the animals are there to help you and to enjoy in the esthetic peaceful countryside of Tsushima.

    I have very little almost to none to complain about the game except I want it never to end.
    Kurosawa mode is stunning and sounds are even more pronounced like the wind in all his movies. The only reason I stopped using Kurosawa mode is that I don't have high end TV or monitor and it is difficult for me to not miss details in the game.    … Expand

    What sucker punch accomplishes with ghost is far beyond the expectations I originally had for the game.

Oh how I was wrong, this beautifully crafted authentic samurai handles immersion perfectly, with choices of plenty of interesting side content that kept me engaged and added to the pacing of the games main story which helped keep the whole experience interesting and exciting. Some of the positives the main being combat. I have no issues saying this is the best third person combat since God of war. Its snappy with beautiful animation and excellent hit detection. The combat takes a while to master an only gets better with the extensive skill tree. Having different attack stances and stealth specific skills really allows to tackle objectives like the samurai or ghost ar a mixture of both. The graphics pretty good not on the level of rdr2 but the lighting and sheer style oozes from ghost. The sum shafts flowing flowers and grass and blossom really makes you feel part of this amazing samurai epic. My only grip would be the story was good but at times felt a little flat the dialogue for characters just didn't feel genuine or memorable. For example when I think of witcher 3 I remember characters like bloody barron djistra Roche yen and ciri all memorable believable characters. Overall this is by far the best game I've played all year and a is a game of the Yr contender for me. I can't recommend the game more it's a must play (in Japanese with subtitles is best). On a side note anyone that says this is just another boring open world game is just wrong. It borrows alot from other games yes but expands on these elements and also introduces some of its own. If you've ever fantasiesed about wandering the open fields as a samurai facing opponents for the people and in the name of honour then buy this game go buy it now.… Expand

    Это просто хорошая игра, в которой интересно драться и следить за историей.

    По поводу вторичности: как по мне, индустрии не хватает таких "обычных" игр без уклонов в гениальность. Days Gone - был великолепен несмотря на вторичность, ты просто забивал на эти "ух ты" и просто играл, и просто получал удовольствие, с Цусимой тоже самое. Эксклюзивы от Сони категории B? А почему бы и нет...    Это просто хорошая игра, в которой интересно драться и следить за историей.

    Эта игра очень близка к идеалу. В игре превосходная боевая система, но во время боя, когда тебя окружает 5 врагов разного вида очень сложно менять стойку, поскольку враги не глупые и нападают толпой, эту интересную механику можно было сделать немного иначе.Эта игра очень близка к идеалу.

    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.
