The gameplay and the leveling system is amazing. Instead of level gating like the new AC games, it does in a more subtle way. instead of enemies having more health and more damage the bigger the number above their head is. it's clear if you go to an area that's meant to be seen later on in the game but nothing files forced with all these numbers. the gameplay is really cool and the way that you unlock the stances is really well done but I must say that the stealth mechanics are absolutely unnecessary and really simple and honestly not even fun. the story is not that great, it filled really simple and uninteresting and I didn't particularly like jin as a protagonist and the fact that even if you kill in a dishonorable way only the guys in the first Yuna mission you will be called the ghost and everybody will act like you are not fighting honorably throughout the game. the quests are not bad they follow a somewhat similar structure but I can apostate that the game is not filled with fetch quests and that the sidequests are really interesting.

    Satisfying personal arsenal
    Engaging story
    Rich in lore
    Nice characters

    The only issue i have is the camera and no way to order my allies to say stay or follow or hide or run away from danger
    I needed to reset sometimes because of problematic ally ai
    Another i see is, i seem to lose my ammo even if i do not remember using them, it happens whenever i fast travel or other cutscenes like haiku, bamboo cutting and onsen Please fix
    Add a new game plus as well

    So that is my fair criticism sbout it

    Nioh and Breath of the Wild had a baby. It’s name is Ghost of Tsushima. The most immersive world I have every walked through. Combat is complex if you put in the time and take advantage of all it offers. Not the hardest and the ai could be better.

    Game is wonderfully refreshing.
    Another open world yet it uses unique ways to direct you around the world without icons being all over the screen.
    Visually stunning.
    Combat really makes you feel like a samurai.
    Music is wonderful.

    This is must play for everyone on PS4

    What a way to close out the era of the PS4.

    9/10 because no game is perfect.

    I have put in 30 hours so far and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Mechanics are fluid with minor hiccups that can break the moment at times and yet the encounters are satisfing none the less. Story is engaging for where I am at currently. Sucker Punch deserves the praises it has received. Hopefully this game turns into a series.

    Not a fan of open world games because I find them to be too unfocused but this game is an exception. It is so easy to jump in and out of side quests while maintaining the main story that it doesn't get boring. The combat is great. Only gripe is that the camera is not perfect. I find Jin will sometimes not attack the target I want but this has never taken me out of the fun.

The visuals of this game are breathtaking, I've found myself stopping myself mid-quest to take pictures with the in-game photo-mode. And I NEVER use photo-mode, that's how beautiful this game is! The combat is fluid, swift, and brutal. You are given a variety of sword stances and tools at your disposal suited for any situation; which is further complemented by a skill tree that progresses at the perfect pace, making you feel like you're always improving. The story itself is gripping but can be overly serious at times. I would've liked some more comedic relief but I understand why there isn't, since the game takes place in feudal Japan as Mongolian's take over Tsushima. Lastly, the game handles Japan's culture with respect and sensitivity. I have no clue what some people are complaining about! This isn't "cultural appropriation", it's CULTURAL APPRECIATION! That said, I highly recommend buying this game before this console generation ends! Expand

    The exploration system is unique. The idea that you improve your character by soaking in hot springs or chopping bamboo is a really immersive way to level up your character. I love the way the game shows immense respect for Japanese culture and way of life.

    The lack of HUD is great for immersion. The combat does take a bit of time to learn, especially parrying. I would say the parry system is fine. When it works, it feels great. It isn't better than the parry system in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The voice acting is very good. I wish that there was a lock-on feature.

    The customization is very vivid and expansive. Can't wait to unlock more items. Like the lack of carry weight limit for your materials.

    I'd say that my only complaint so far, is that the enemies can be very stupid when they are chasing/looking for you. Especially if you have items that boost your detection speed.

    So far, this game looks like it has high potential to be one of my favorite PS exclusives

    First 5 seconds into the game I knew I wanted to play it no matter what. I would have given a 10/10 if the Japanese voice synced with the animation, a great option to have though but unfortunately, it did not give me an "authentic experience" as the English voice was genuine enough ( with a bit of a western-style )

I put about 15 hours into this game and im loving it. I think this is suckerpunch's best game

It is also one of the most incredible looking games for me tied only with God Of War. To the delevpos of the game, I have to say that they have done a extraordinary job creating this game, and is evident the work and talent that it would take to creat a game of this level. How has not wanted to be a bad ass samurai and this game dilvers that experience in a unbelievable way. Expand

    Only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10 is the few graphical and physics glitches. people will clip through walls and floors when dead and sometimes spears like to spin like a top when dropped. Other than that it's an amazing game.

    Great game with Witcher 3 like side quests. Combat is fun but does get a bit easy even on hard mode once you have all the stances and learn the combat system. Though I like the sekiro style parrying. Open world is fun and feels full. Really recommend this game

    I have been playing video games for almost my whole life and honestly this is the first game in awhile (since maybe when Bioshock released) that I've played that has really immersed and amazed me. This is the most beautiful looking game i have ever played, i caught myself just sitting and looking around the world many times instead of playing because the scenery is absolutely gorgeous.I have been playing video games for almost my whole life and honestly this is the first game in awhile (since maybe when Bioshock released) that I've played that has really immersed and amazed me. This is the most beautiful looking game i have ever played, i caught myself just sitting and looking around the world many times instead of playing because the scenery is absolutely gorgeous.

    The cut-scenes look stunning and are well directed and acted for both the Japanese and English voices, however lip syncing was done for the English version so it looks bad with the Japanese audio so there's that.

    The game-play is addicting, managing to be challenging enough without feeling unfair, feels satisfying when you are able to take on groups of enemies parrying and changing stances on the fly especially without taking damage.

    The stealth for me was serviceable if not a little easy however it feels like something they can patch and fix, luckily i didn't have many problems or bugs like a few others may have had.

    The narrative is really intriguing if you are into Japanese samurai culture and even if you aren't this game may get you interested, each character is well written and believable, especially the protagonist Jin who's actions throughout the game conflict with his samurai code, his way of life and cause problems.

    The side content is unique and just as interesting as the main story and if you love collectibles this game has you covered in spades with many of them spread throughout the map. The costumes and weapons as well as the skins you can get for them are really well designed and fun to collect too, first game in a long time that doesn't charge you for all the cosmetics.

    All in all this is a game well worth it's asking price, filled with fun content, a stunning world to explore, great game-play loop, respectful to the culture and history it is portraying (taking inspiration from classic samurai films by Akira Kurosawa and the like, loved Kurosawa mode) and is a perfect game to end this generation of PlayStation on.

    Sucker Punch made something special here and really gave their all so they deserve great praise for it.

    Only thing i hope they add in is a New Game Plus+ mode where you can replay and keep all cosmetics, upgrades and collectibles to have a fun and chill, cathartic play-through.

Ghost of tsushima brings back not only an amazing and nostalgic experience, but it also adds a lot to the genre. I hope they keep developing games like this one because it's definitely worth it. There is a lot to explore about graphics and gameplay from here. Hope to see it in ps5.

    My favorite open world game since The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, and in my top 3 PS4 games of all time. All of the side content felt meaningful, and was quick enough that it never felt like I was just trying to get through it.

You feel a sense of connection with the protagonist as you shape yourself into a reborn mongol killing machine. This is a game that - if you like open world, action adventure or samurai themed games - should be on your purchase list.

    TLDR: If you LIKE assassins creed then you will LOVE this game. There are some problems but if you liked games like AC Origins and AC Odyssey, you wont find said problems to be bothersome.

    I wont talk about specific story spoilers but I will make vague references that you might not want to hear about. No actual spoilers but it will be something vague like "the second half wasn't as good"
    TLDR: If you LIKE assassins creed then you will LOVE this game. There are some problems but if you liked games like AC Origins and AC Odyssey, you wont find said problems to be bothersome.

    I wont talk about specific story spoilers but I will make vague references that you might not want to hear about. No actual spoilers but it will be something vague like "the second half wasn't as good" so yeah.

    That being said, lemme explain myself:

    The Good-
    The world is amazing. It's not a huge world but the game sure makes it feel like it. It is smaller than most (insert d1ck joke here) but it is filled with things to do and even in the empty areas of the world, the actual beauty of the world itself makes up for it. There are small interactions freely in the world like being able to pay respects to dead bodies or crouching off of the edge of cliffs for a cool picture in the extremely accommodating photo mode.

    The story is pretty good, its definitely on the better end of above average and there are many surprises in the story itself so if you though that you could tell exactly what the game was going to be about based on trailers or the first part of a lets play you saw or something, trust me- even though you dont know me-, you will not be disappointed.

    The combat is very good. Its not very difficult to learn so if you thought that if was going to be annoyingly difficult then don't worry. It does go both ways though and if you do want the challenge, im sure the hard difficulty will accommodate you. Its the perfect blend of complexity and accessibility- not too easy, not too hard. The duel sections are challenging at first but once you get a hang of the controls, you will actually want to engage in these duels more and more as they are extremely satisfying to pull off first try.

    I dont really want to mention all of the pros because as numerous as they may be, I do want to mention the bad and iffy parts.

    The Bad-
    There are slight narrative problems with the world and story but I WILL NOT MENTION SPOILERS

    Lets start with the story

    You do really get hyped for the story and it has a few set-pieces that take full advantage of the concept but the last of the three acts of the game are not nearly as exciting as the first 2. Its still good but the 2nd act is way better. Thinking on it now, the 3rd act isn't even bad, it only feels that way to me because the game was building up the story because the 1st act was good and the 2nd act was even better. The ramp up ends there and the third act is just as good as the first so idk, if you buy it, you will know what I mean.

    The world is amazing, probably the best looking and most beautiful that I have played up to date but, like with the story, there is a ramp up in the world that flattens one you get to the last 3rd of the map. You see, the map unlocks with the acts story so as you progress through the story, you also progress through the world. The problem is that the last act brings you the most boring province- as I like to call it. Unlike the story, the last act provides a much worse province than the first act. Completely covered in snow, the last province offers nothing interesting in the world in terms of aesthetics . There is still the same variety of things to do in the world but the actual look takes a hit.

    those were the pros and cons so yeah 9/10

    I bought this game on release day and have been playing with it for about 3 to 4 hours a day now, and I am taking my time to do all the side quests and find all the hidden location.
    I am still on the first of the 3 territories and I am happy to know that I still have a lot of gameplay to go through.

    The only couple of reasons that I don't like about the game are:
    1. The main character Jin Sakai, he is not really memorable, he doesn't feel that emotional when he speaks most of the time. But that can be because he is a samurai, so that might have to do with his upbringing.(Still haven't completed the game, so it might change later).

    2. The kunai, they are too OP, even on HARD mode, which I am playing it at. If you upgrade your kunai, you can even use 3 of them with 1 button click, and do double damage if you upgrade again.
    Every enemy gets staggered when they get hit, even the leaders and the big guys with the shields. I hope this changes later on, or else you can just cheese through some portions of the game.
    (Still haven't completed the game, so it might change later).

    3. The horse, although you are able to fight on the horse, it is useless if you get to get in sword range, the AI can just make the horse fall with one hit.
    (Still haven't completed the game, so it might change later).

    In other people's reviews I see them complaining about the camera. Although I can understand that the camera can feel clunky sometimes, it is necessary that the camera moves like that. It is because the AI tends to surround you, so you can't focus on one person or direction at all times.

    This is one of those games that makes me happy I bought a PS4 for the exclusives, and I hope that Sucker Punch Productions makes a sequel that might take place in the Sengoku Jidai era.

    Natknąłem się na kilka zabawnych bugów gdzie np postać odbija się plecami od ziemi jak od trampoliny.

I really enjoyed the combat stance mechanic I found it fun and intuitive in design. The use of wind and color makes world traversal an absolute joy rather than a chore. The only negative I have been able to find is that the mouths' of the characters, when speaking are sometimes a bit off. However this is when the selected language is Japanese and I am not sure whether it seems off to me because I am not Japanese myself and not familiar with how to speak or enunciate in Japanese. This is the first game that had me actively wandering the open world looking for fox dens just to give the little fellows a good head pat for their hard work (10/10 best feature).

    Story - 9/10
    Characters - 8.5/10
    Graphics - 10/10
    Game play and combat - 9/10
    Wind - 10/10

    All together it is a game i had no idea about until i watched several reviews and saw that this was a game for me. I am very happy to have picked it up and it is now among one of my favorite all time games such as the new God of war, Red dead 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and the Wither 3.

    Most beautiful game on ps4 can’t recommend enough few bugs here and there but I think it’s excusable when you look at the whole package.Sucker punch really deserves a place among the top developers they proved themselves I think

    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.
