The combat is the most fun I’ve had in any melee sword fighting game, the world is absolutely stunning, and the photo-mode just adds a cherry on top. The minimalistic HUD and guiding wind are so tastefully done, and it works so perfectly with the world you’re thrown into. The inner turmoil of our protagonist, Jin, is exactly how you would feel a samurai would react to what needs to be done. It’s seriously the most beautiful game I have ever seen. If there is anything bad I could say about the game, it would be that I wish the Japanese VO matched the lips better. I think the voice actors did a great job in English though. Hat off to Sucker Punch. Your game does not deserve an 83 on Metacritic.… Expand

    The Game keeps a hold on you and doesn't let you go. Some of the camera movement is a bit dodgy inside tents, but otherwise the gameplay is incredible. The side-stories are pretty damn interesting as well.

I'm playing on Hard mode and combat is not that difficult once you learn the "dance". Plenty of armor and accessories to acquire with side quests to make this a bit easier if you choose. Visuals and sound are great, enough has been said on that. The story lines for side quests are a bit repetitive and not that imaginative... but still fun. It reminds me of a "Witcher Lite": Story not as in-depth, not as many RPG elements, and similar "more fun" melee combat. The combat "stances" are key to the fun and success of each fight. I've got about 20 hours in and am only 8% of the story. (getting armor and weapon upgrades). Great game to send off the PS4!… Expand

    Start with the TL:DR - beautiful game that sets the mood and immerses you in the struggle of being a Samurai vs being something else, something you must become to save your people. Everything fits together nicely, story, graphics, music, gameplay that sets the tone masterfully throughout the experience. A few bugs and wonky things could be annoying at times.

    Graphics - 10, love the style
    Music - 8, nothing memorable but it works very well
    Gameplay - 9
    Story - 10, I am invested, can't wait to play more.

    On to the more in depth stuff.

    This game is visually breathtaking. I lose myself for hours just walking amidst the falling leaves. I've already clocked 20 hours in so far and savoring every minute.

    The portrayal of Jin's struggle between the Samurai code and what needs to be done to save his people is masterful. You really feel the pain of his decisions that lead him further from his code. I'm invested.

    Graphically, the game's scenery and style is gorgeous. They sacrifice a bit of fidelity in their character models to achieve such rich and breathtaking environments, and that's a trade-off I'm all for. So far I haven't experienced any frame drops etc; I am playing on a Pro.

    Load times are surprisingly fast. Admittedly I do have a nice SSD in my Pro, but nonetheless they feel like the fastest I've seen in a game. Comparing to my recollection of the load times in Death Stranding, Spider-Man, Horizon Zero Dawn, FF7r.

    Music is very soothing and mood setting. I particularly enjoy the pause in gameplay to write the haikus and admire the scenery. Nothing about the music is particularly memorable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing as it just rounds off the presentation of everything in the game.

    Animations can be a bit wonky sometimes. When jumping onto a railing I thought I could walk on, I basically straddled it and continued floating as if in mid jump for several seconds before the game teleported me to stable ground. You'll often NPCs in the distant standing weirdly until you get close enough to set off their animations. This is particularly weird when it's a thieves vs Mongols group.

    Combat is interesting. I'm playing on hard mode right out of the gate and I've definitely died quite a few times (more on dying in a sec)! The standoffs are nice, not just mechanically, but thematically as well. It's the portrayal of the side of Jin bound by the Samurai code, looking his enemies in the eyes. I feel a sense of honor engaging conflicts this way. Parrying feels good, but blocking can buy you the time you need to prepare for a good parry. Some things have to be dodged vs parry/block. There's good variety in fights, and it hasn't gotten any less thrilling for me over the hours. Probably helps that I'm on hard mode and it's unforgiving to miss a dodge and take a hit.

    One of my biggest complaints about the game is death. There's almost no penalty to dying. Even items you just picked up before during the fight stay with you after death. Random encounters in the field just despawn if you die. You can kind of use dying to your advantage to initiate a standoff to refill your resolve against a group you just lost to. I want death to be meaningful and scary. And while the actual act of dying is quite brutal, the repercussions on your game is virtually non-existent.

    Long review.... But hey I'm passionate about this game and can't wait to play more!!    … Expand

    Is it as perfect as Red Dead Redemption 2? Not really. To me it's a 96/100 which still is a 10/10. I really doubt it'll be GotY once Cyberpunk dropped though. Still an awesome game that I'll donate another 100hours of my lifetime to.

    Y aunque alabo el tema artístico , el tema del músculo gráfico no se queda nada atrás , con unos gráficos que quitan el hipo , unas animaciones faciales que rozan el valle inquietante .

    Tampoco todo es bueno , los interiores de las casas pecan de repetitivos , algunos objetos como las asas de los carros , Jin las atraviesa , algunos pequeños problemas de cámara cuando peleas en interiores .

    Solo me queda recomendároslo a todos .

    The gameplay is fun and exploring the world is intriguing due to its look. The wind guidance system is a breath of fresh air keeping the HUD super minimal.

    It’s not a perfect game but it is one of the best I have played not only on the PS4 but on any system period.

    It also has one of the best sound tracks and use of sound in anything I have played before. Thanks Sucker Punch for helping me love video games again after another one made me hate them recently.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is such a great take on an open-world adventure. Think Assassin's Creed before Origins, and then dump a loving homage to Samurai films all over it. The environment is beautifully made with so much color throughout the landscape. The combat lets you feel like a Samurai, with your katana dispatching enemies in 2-3 hits, and not 9-10 as if they're some kind of damage sponge.Ghost of Tsushima is such a great take on an open-world adventure.

The Story is also great, feels like it's ripped out of a Kurosawa film, the game even has a "Kurosawa Mode" to add a black and white film overlay, complete with old-time film-grain. I've been playing this since Friday morning and I haven't felt the need to put it down.

    Travel the island, see the sights, and snap a few beautiful screenshots. The game easily gets a 9/10 for me, even with the few minor bugs that exist.    … Expand

    Great level design, fun combat and absolutely beautiful artwork. In terms of gameplay, there isn’t anything really “new” - this game is rather a mixture of Ubi Soft open worlds, Far Cry, Zelda BOTW, and From, Soul-like games (only in the hard mode). It is a good mixture though. I’ve found some historical inaccuracies, but who cares - it’s a game.

Although, I enjoyed it, I can see why some people would have issues, saying it’s the same revenge plot as always. However, it’s more about the adventure and building an army to fight for home. Jin doesn’t seem to have a ton of personality, although I found this reasonable as he was taught from a young age to control his emotions. Overall, I’d give the game a 10/10 score.

Although this game dosen't reinvent the wheel or genre it's still a spectacular game but While it's not on TLOU 2 level cause of some of the Stealth issues/mechanics (can't go prone and literally a carbon copy of AC) even has the hidden blade smh , really tedious side quests and traversal system, repetitive combat (sometimes not rewarding or satisfying enough) atrocious camera angles (too far zoomed in), reused animations; seeing the same death and kill animations gets tiresome through out the game which leads to repetitive gameplay, basic level design/mission structure and a fairly predictable average story. It's still a really fun and great playstation exclusive. What a great way to end the console generation than with a banger. I will give my full analysis on the game late… Expand

    Amazing game, really interesting story. The gameplay and graphic are solid. And combat really stands out the game does an amazing job making you feel like a samurai from the start. In the beginning of the game assassination is a but clunky but as the game progresses the mechanics get a lot more flushed out and stealth becomes a joy as well.

    Beautiful environments, fluid combat system, historically accurate content. Ghost of Tsushima delivers a much needed update to the genre. The stealth system does need a little work and the graphics could be a bit more polished. However the promise of making you feel like a Samurai checks every box. All in all this is a great game that many lovers of Japanese lore and this time period will enjoy.

    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.

    Fun and amazing game that's not shoving any narratives down at us. Open world is pretty huge and does have things to do. People who get bored clearly dont like playing these types of games, but I definitely don't get bored. Wish it waa a but harder but overall a 9/10 for me.

    Amazing... Captures that mystic era of Japanese lore that I have loved ever since I was a kid learning about Musashi and his incredible skills with the sword. If you really want to feel like a badass Samurai, there is no better game. The graphics and beauty are on par with red dead redemption 2 but combat is even better.. a must buy for anyone who enjoys open world adventure games.

    One of the best games that have come out in 2020. The visual spectacle, the challenging yet rewarding combat and the beautiful scenery all over the map make for an excellent experience. Though it still needs some polishing her and there, it does not affect the experience in a major way.

    Very surprised with this game. Going in I thought it would be an Assassins Creed clone, but it is much more. The world they built is absolutely stunning, and the characters and details inside it make it feel truly alive. Easily one of the best games I have played this generation I would recommend this game to anyone!

    Side quests are really good and meaningful, most of them involving going deeper into the storyline of the prominent NPCs you will meet along in your journey.

    Gameplay is pretty good. Swordplay looks (and SOUNDS) really great. Playing on Hard difficulty is a decent challenge, especially early on before you get a few important skills and equipment upgrades. Controls are responsive but took some getting used to because the muscle memory I had from other games doesn't work here (trying to sneak in a perfect parry in the middle of an enemy combo usually ends in pain, whereas in a game like Sekiro you can weave parries almost any time).

    My only real big gameplay complaint is that the camera is often pretty bad, where it will move in locations where you can't see your character or be in such a close proximity where you will get hit by enemies off screen.

    I really hope we see more like this from Sucker Punch in the future!    … Expand

    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. ✌️

    By far one of the most fun and visually stunning games I have played in a long time. Ghost doesn’t try to reinvent much but instead of breaking something that’s not broken they refine and perfect a lot of things within the sub genre. Videos and streams do not give the visual impact of the environments justice until you play it yourself. Defiantly one of my favorite games of the year.

    Gorgeous game, excellent combat and open world exploration. There is no mini-map, you use the wind as your guide. If you ever wanted to see what being a samurai might really be like, this is it. Many enemies are killed in one hit as normal humans would be, and most others are killed in 2-4 hits. Love the authenticity and the atmosphere. Fantastic work, Sucker Punch!

    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.
