    I spend more time taking pictures than playing the game. That should tell you just how beautiful this game is! Perhaps the most gorgeous game I've ever played! Deserves all the praise it can get! Simply go buy it!

    A masterpiece. Sucker Punch has turned quests that we're all tired of from other open-world games into actual storylines in the form of tales. What you do in Ghost of Tsushima's world doesn't feel like chores. Sucker Punch knows how to make games that are fun. Ghost of Tsushima is fun. Period.

Sucker Punch knows how to make games that are fun. Ghost of Tsushima is fun. Period.

    If this is your first foray into Sucker Punch games, it is highly recommended you try their Infamous franchise. Even the first Infamous still holds up in spite being a console generation old.

    This studio is very good with small details that reduce player fatigue i.e. removing animation for item pickup (I can tell games that will follow might copy this...remember Horizon? I love that game, gave it a 10, but picking up items was a drag) to more granular details like enemy AI looking back at a fallen comrade you just killed! Ungh just so good, Sucker Punch! Your attention to detail is delicious.

    Also, very smart use of budget. We all know facial animation is expensive to pull off, and so Sucker Punch pulled the camera back and highlighted the environment whilst exposition drawled. From a business standpoint, that is a good solution to budget constraints whilst keeping with the theme of Japanese cinema where most expositions and dialogue are surrounded by a sprawling environment.

    We love you, Sucker Punch. You make us proud.    … Expand

    This is how you release a game last of us 2 was flipping garbage and mis written. This game is amazing I like to change camera filters for each combat to see how each looks. My fave is the one that makes me feel like I'm watching an old Japanese samurai film.

    This is the best game I’ve played in a long time. It shows us that games don’t always need to LOOK perfect in order to BE perfect.

It shows us that games don’t always need to LOOK perfect in order to BE perfect. There are some things that could have been better, but only small details that don’t take away any pleasure or immersion you get from the game. Knowing that Suckerpunch isn’t a developer like for example Ubisoft, with tons of money to invest into their game (without actually doing it lol) I can forgive them for the few glitches or other minor flaws the game has. This story and gameplay just reminds me so much of what games used to be like. FUN. Without an agenda, without doing what “should be done”
    Sure this gameplay has become “old” to some critics. But I love it.
    For example how they handled the jump system in this game. It actually feels dangerous because you have to aim carefully where you want to go. Instead of pressing one button that takes you anywhere without dying. This makes it less cinematic, than AC’s freerunning system for example. But are looks really everything?
    It reminds me so much of infamous, but with falling damage. I do wish it actually had more of the infamous freerunning to it. But with falling damage of course. That just makes it feel more dangerous and you don’t press one button all the time like you don’t have a brain. I have played tons of games like this (Assassin’s creed) that were boring af. Same old side quests, same old “climb tower-leap of faith” BS
    Somehow Ghost of Tsushima is intriguing, and it had everything to do with the story and how they filled the map with sidequests that are fun and innovative. Suckerpunch has never disappointed me with the Sly Cooper or Infamous franchises. Even though they added diversity to their cast, with both female and non-white characters. (Infamous)
    It never felt forced (like in TLOU2) I hope they continue to create games like this that look and play gorgeous! Would love to see Suckerpunch up there with the big companies. Insomniac did it so why not?    … Expand

    Deserves a higher critic score for sure. I think most has been said about the game, It’s not fair to compare to the 5 year old Witcher 3 but great horse controls and no sword degradation/micro management are huge quality of life improvements.

    Beautiful open world where you can enjoy without any UI distraction (out of combat). Minimal UI during combat. Combats are fun and upgrading skills is so appealing because they are so cool! You are a hero in this game and it makes you feel good. Interesting details all over the place.

    Gostei muito da jogabilidade e mecânicas diversas. A história do jogo é boa, mas em certos momentos é meio clichê. Os gráficos são bons, porém sofre um certo nível de downgrade comparado aos trailers e certos momentos o cenário fica um pouco borrados em partes específica dos mapa (raro). A inteligência artificial dos inimigos é boa, mas em certos momentos é bem bugado.

You’ll find it difficult at first but overall you’ll get use to it by time and oh my god when he strikes the enemies you’ll feel satisfaction from it. Highly recommend it. Thank you Sucker Punch for this beautiful game.i

    Fantastic game, just what i needed, a break from this world into the fabulous Ghost Of Tsushima. Perfect after the last of us 2 trash. i was beginning to loose hope in video games after that awful game. Thank you Ghost Of Tsushime for showing me how good games can be again. brilliant end to the PS4.

    The most addictive game of 2020 & BEST Samaria game ever created!!...Also NO, this is NOT an Assassins Creed knock off.The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because the camera system can sometimes get out of position. I actually think its higher than a 9. Probably a 9.5 or higher..a true masterpiece

    I love Japanese culture and this game captures it beautifully, the graphics are the best i have ever seen on a PS4, the sword combat is so freaking fun, i love melee combat, love the stealth, and love that you can go in wide open fighting, the environments are beautiful. The music is done with 2 composers that says something because it's spot on with Japan.

Overall i have loved every sec of this game, as i love open world games, i love exploring and collecting and questing, only one tiny tiny complaint is the camera is a little to close to the character, just wish you could zoom out a bit, but other than that it's a masterpiece. Great job sucker punch you always deliver, at least for me that is :)… Expand

    The result of a studio that actually loves fun. This game is a breath of fresh air over a recent title that shall not be named, (but you know what I mean). The visuals are incredible, the music score is phenomenal, the story is well crafted, interesting and immersive and the combat is visceral, fun and satisfying. Congratulations to the dev team. 10/10

    My only gripes (minor):

    - Camera is too zoomed in, resulting in a very limited focus. I would love the ability to zoom out like in RDR 2 for example.

    - I would like the ability remove the bow from equipped weapons or store it on the horse. This is a personal thing, I think as it is it break the immersion to be jumping on roofs with a heavy samurai armour and a long bow equipped..

    - This is due to hardware limitations most likely, but the graphics quality in the final game is lesser than the one showcased in the first (Masako) gameplay reveal. I really hope SP will take advantage of the ps5 power and patch this product of love and passion to unleash its maximum beauty.    … Expand

    Great gameplay, it is really fun to play but the story is not that great, Masako's tale was better than the Jin's tale.
    Characters not interesting.
    Easy to play even on hard.

    Good game to play without thinking of anything, just play. 8/10 it is enough.

    Llevaré alrededor de unas 15 horas sin salir tan siquiera de la primera zona, y es magnífico el juego que ha desarrollado Sucker Punch. Puede que gráficamente no sea lo más puntero (más después de lo visto en TLOU Parte II), pero artísticamente es una delicia, se nota el trabajo del estudio recreando tanto la época como la cultura japonesa.

    Mención especial para la optimización, donde el juego carga a una velocidad vertiginosa, tanto en viaje rápido, como tras morir.

    El 8 viene dado simplemente porque siempre hay algo mejorable en todos los juegos. Aún siendo notable, una mejor IA enemiga y aliada, y una mejora en las físicas, no le hubiera venido nada mal para hacerlo un juego insuperable.

    Aún así, es un juego imperdible, que todo el mundo debería jugar si quiere sentirse como un verdadero samurái.    … Expand

    I'm 15h in - this is my first metacritic review and can't stop playing this game - the combat is brilliant, the story is interesting. Ghost of Tsushima has the best looking game world I have ever seen. I can't believe my eyes when I realize I'm playing it on a base PS4.

    It's game of the year for me until Cyberpunk is out :)

    This is how it's done. This game is fun to play and there's a ton of stuff to do. It helps that it also looks amazing. I've been playing it for several hours now and I've barely uncovered any of the map. This is going to be a game I take my time with and savor every minute.

    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.
