    After playing and replaying the game twice, all I can say that Ghost of Tsushima is a Game of the Year contender. This is the best way to end the PS4, and better take notes Naughty Dog, because this is way better than TLOU2. The game has one of the most amazing and colorful realistic graphics I've ever seen and the story makes you want to relive those events of the Kamakura era.

The game has one of the most amazing and colorful realistic graphics I've ever seen and the story makes you want to relive those events of the Kamakura era. The combat, sure it can get repetitive at times, but I had a fun time that it wouldn't want me to stop. After I beat the game in English, I've replayed the game in a harder difficulty, but only this time, in Cinema mode, where you get to play the game is black and white just like the old samurai films made by the late Akira Kurosawa. It made me remanence the old classic black and white movie that were made in Japan as a child like Godzilla.

    In conclusion, this game was a fun game that I would love to replay it again. Not to mention that it doesn't forcefully push agenda and cram SJW into the game *cough TLOU2 cough*. And no, this game is NOT racist towards Japanese, so stop speaking for them and let them hear what they had to say, otherwise, you'll be hated by the Japanese for saying false information and it makes you the racist one, not Sucker Punch.    … Expand

    Story and characters are awesome. Graphics, art and music are one of the best ive seen.
    Gameplay its fast and satisfactory. Exploring dynamics are awesome. The customization will keep u engaged into exploring more. My only complain with the game is that its better than the last of Us 2 but western journalist reviewers are a bunch of ****

(Easily patchable in updates) The graphics in the game are jaw dropping and I find myself taking moments just to appreciate the particle effects and lighting rays in any location. This is a game that is best enjoyed like a fine whiskey. Take your time and sip it, don’t chug it just to get through it. One major flaw I see is the lack of a lock-on mechanic. (something in the vain of a FromSoftware title) I see this game as being a launch title or early release for the PS5 and I’ll definitely be picking it up again. Warning: this game is for those who wish to scratch a Samurai Kurosawa itch that is rare to find.… Expand

    Game is amazing, played for hours right out of the box. I love the combat, simple yet challenging, the visuals are amazing, great omage to old samurai films, which I love. So far playing with Japanese voice actors, mainly because of Kazuya Nakai the voice of roronoa zoro from One Piece, and so far he's amazing. Love it.

This is a great game with amazing visuals.The combat can be a bit tedious at the beginning till you defeat more leaders and gain more experience. The ninja/ghost weapons have a wide range of uses and the leveling is constant. The side quest/events become tedious till you feel the results in combat e.g higher health or more resolve. I love the collectibles learning about the Mongols through artifacts or trying to find more cosmetics to get that cool looking sword. The Music and the cutscenes are phenomenal.… Expand

    This game is art. The environment looks fantastics, the trees, plants, lighting is awesome. The combat is great and the open world in general too!

    Some side missions are repetitive but the experience is still good because the combat and the open world are solid. The boss fights and personalization are also a good. I definitely recommend this game. ✌️

    Combat is amazing but camera can leave you open sometimes due to no physical lock on.

    I would usually play a samurai / Japanese style game in Japanese but the audio doesn’t line up AT ALL and it looks awful so I had to play in English. Other than that the game is unreal and you should play it.

Sucker Punch outdid themselves here from the amazing graphics, great story and super smooth samurai gameplay, they did everything right. The first thing was the graphics, I feel like other than a few animations not lining up or generic, repeated gestures, the overall presentation was great! In terms of the story and historical accuracy, they did place a few things in the game that weren't invented yet like the hwacha and the haiku but those are mere small things that although aren't historically accurate, still adds depth to the game's overall things to do as well as immersive universe. The story is dark and grim the whole way through but Jin Sakai has that type of personality that makes me want to keep seeing the story through. My only complaint is that there's a lack of cutscenes outside the main story missions but the few ones that are in the game are absolutely amazing and makes me feel like I'm there in the game with those characters, feeling the pain and loss they've all felt because of the Mongol invasions. Lastly, the gameplay is perfect for a free roaming light RPG. The types of fighting styles allow some versatility and break the monotony between simple enemies to more complex ones but I wish there were some specific combos. What makes these game developers also great is that they surprised EVERYONE with the announcement of a FREE multiplayer/Co-Op experience that was planned from the beginning but kept under wraps.… Expand

I feel more connected with the characters. I dont have a problem with how the game progresses. The map does feel empty in some places but overcomes by the details in the small villages. The combat is something which truly feels good to play. Different stances preform better versus different attackers. One thing that took me a while to understand (playing on Hard) is some attackers were extremely difficult to beat, but the whole game pushes you and tells you Samurai need to have patients and not be hack and slash. Once I learned to slow down and let the mongols attack with their chaotic ways I was able to slow down and beat them.

    Game looks truly amazing (coming from a pc player), Like I was blown away how amazing the game looks. Having to follow the wind instead of using a compass is something different but genius at the same time. My only concern is I truly feel like I am not being a true samurai by being an assassin too.

    Game 9/10... Some bugs with facial expressions / talking. Some emptiness in the map, and some UI bugs when trying to see new sword/armor kits.

While some stealth elements and improvable A.I are quite spot on in the game, it doesn't hamper the overall gameplay as the majority of the player's community would rather just go the Samurai way and cut down enemies with some awesome Katana finishing moves instead sneaking around like a creep trying to catch some dumb A.I by surprise.… Expand

The sword mechanics are some of the best I’ve seen and very fluid. It requires you to be a bit tactical so button mashing will just get you killed quickly. However, the enemy stealth AI can be dumb and easy to exploit. You can be picking apart enemies from a far with a bow and the AI just won’t know what to do. This isn’t game breaking but definitely needs some improvement. The story is good, cutscenes are really well made and the open world is fun to explore with a great deal of immersion. Overall, if you have a PS4, you need to play this game. 9/10… Expand

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!

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). While combat is great AI is sub-par. 9 not good enough for 10.

The best open world game since Witcher 3 in my opinion. The main story is strong with twists and turns that you may not expect but are not added for shock value. More like a great samurai movie. Most side quests are okay at best but the really great ones are those connected to certain characters and a couple of others that are longer and provide a feel of what the Witcher 3 brought us. This is by far the best looking PlayStation 4 game I have seen in a long time with such an amazing world to explore. To be fair though I am a fan of Japanese culture and open world games. Though even if you don’t like assassins creed type games this game does not have a level system so there is no grinding involved. If you want to just play the main story go for it.

This does not go to plan...to be fair the game would be rather short if it did. you find yourself having to build Jins skill set after the battle where he has a decision to make...fight as a samurai and maintain his honour and that of his clan or fight from the shadows as a ghost which goes against everything he was taught. Jin comes to the conclusion that he must win by any and all costs. I'm about 40 hours in so i would say I've already got my moneys worth. there is nothing worse than paying 50 quid and only getting about 23 hours game play out of a game. especially if it doesn't feel re playable. this game has options where you can make different builds for Jin meaning a few new playthroughs are on the cards. well done sucker punch. would have liked them to make it easier to scabbard your sword though. i give this game a 9 out of ten for visuals, story telling, things to do as well. cant give it a ten as there is no such thing as a perfect game. one last thing to games journos (whatever that job entails). moaning about cultural appropriation. this game is about story telling as most are. the fact that Japanese critics love this game shows the rest of you in wait for it...America (yes we all knew that was coming) as hacks who cant appreciate anything beautiful. I'm surprised they didn't bemoan the mongols for their colonialism and use of the slave trade...maybe they didn't care...maybe they aren't that educated while doing social studies degrees. who knows eh?… 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.

    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

    An extraordinarily gorgeous world that was a joy to explore. From the trees blowing in the wind to the leaves kicking up behind you as ride along some of the best, if not the best, looking sunsets. Even if the details on the individual models themselves aren't necessarily always incredible, but when it all comes together it creates something so good that the visuals alone make this game worth playing.

    While I did enjoy exploring all of the side activities like finding fox dens or hot springs to further Jin's strength throughout the game after 10-20 I started to lose interest in them, luckily though the combat itself redeem all of that. It feels responsive, requires timing and feels very rewarding when playing on hard mode. the 1 on 1 duels feel especially good and get closer to the feeling of Sekiro (even though it´s not as challenging for the most part), while the fights you´ll be having most of the time are closer to what you´d experience in AC, but a lot tighter and polished.

    While stories are not the most important part of a game for me personally, I do appreciate it when I play a game that has that. Ghost of Tsushima doesn't quite get there for me though. While it´s certainly not bad, it´s not the best either. While it´s enjoyable in the moment, the story doesn't really create any memorable moments or stories for me.

    The game managed to keep itself at 30 fps for most of my playthrough even though there were some noticeable drop during larger setpieces or cutscenes. Loading screens are impressively fast and you will barely get to the loading screen before you are back in the game again, unless you are traveling across the map between the different prefectures.

The armors would have more impact on gameplay if it wasn't so easy to swap out on the fly.

Unfortunately it doesn't but the story is good enough to make up for it.
    TLDR. Buy it. it's good    … 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.
