    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 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

    Beautiful beyond belief. Open world feels alive and vibrant. Just being curious and exploring stuff on ur way to a destination is super. The combat really opens up as you go and you can decide on your playstyles path early on.

    Great game only thing I thought was off was way camera angles we're off. I think I would have rated 10 if it cam angles were bit more like Assassin's Creed Odyssey

    The game is ok. iI like it. Combat is a little sloppy but still fun! Visuals are amazing. I have some gripes with the open-world part and sidequests, they are a little tedious.

    To put it short-- I haven't actually enjoyed an open-world game like this in a long time. With minimal UI, the game allows you to take in all the beauty Sucker Punch put into this game. The Japanese voice acting is incredible and deserves high praise. The game progresses you at just the right pace and gives a variety of styles to play.

The ps4 exclusive scene has seen some truly great games, like the game of the year in 2018s Spider-Man. Another exclusive to win game of the year would be The last of us. But this exclusive to close out all PlayStation exclusives would be this perfection of game creation. Never have I seen a more Perfect particle sim, and the bloody combat really reels it all back in.

    I came into this game with a lot of hype. As a big fan of sucker punch (having played all sly cooper games and Infamous games) I had high expectations due to this being an open-world, samurai game set in Feudal Japan in the 1200’s. SuckerPunch blew my expectation away to put it lightly. I’ve spent about 20 hours and I’m still in act 1 due to the sheer amount of content in the game. TheI came into this game with a lot of hype.

The gameplay is really nice and the combat is smooth and despite some issues I still have a lot of fun. This is one of the few games I plan on 100% and beating more than once. I recommend playing it twice, first play it how you want and then the second time play in Kurosawa mode to experience the full beauty.… Expand

The combat is unique, getting used to different stances felt a bit overwhelming at first, but it’s easy to get into after the 1st hour of play through.

I can think of that sidequest with the samurai spirits how it felt so magical with all that fog and the fireflies. hell even there are some random encounters of people with names who commit crimes or people who did sepuku just randomly leaving a note besides their corpses, the fact that these little events can be seen without a "?" mark on the map and just following the golden bird is awesome.    … Expand

    Then why did I gave it 9/10 instead of 10/10? The only issue is the stealth game play.

You get a lot of bang for your buck with this one, and with the sub par ps exclusives at the moment *cough cough tlou2. This one was a breath of fresh air.

    For this game I don't think even a 10/10 would justify how enjoyable it is. No it's not a perfect game - especially stealth game play felt unpolished and clunky. That's precisely I'm giving it a 9/10 but the entertainment value is so much higher than any 10/10 game you can name, including that TLOU2 crap. Get this game, Seriously!

    The story is incredible.

With that, I'm giving ghost of tsushima a 10 because it exceeded my expectations and executes well, everything it set out to achieve. Combat is first and foremost exactly what I wanted and more, to feel like a one man army legendary samurai. Next, the soundtrack alone makes the game praiseworthy, as it sets the tone for each peaceful to intense swordclashing moment with prime accuracy. My highest praise for the game, however, stands with the artistry and environment of the island. The journey to every objective is heaped with breathtaking scenes, beautifully chosen colors, and the most realistically replicated sky that could be imagined. In addition, they used the environment as the guiding feature for the player, the UI is so clean, and at times, nonexistent. The world bends towards your destinations and woodland critters emerge to lead you to side secrets and collectibles a very refreshing design choice.This is complimented by an excellent photo mode packed with features to add to your captures. My only real complaint for the game is that the writing is overall stiff, and, Jin could have been more interesting in this regard.… Expand

    The game is great. The story is ok but it can be pretty forgettable at times. The side quests and world exploration are what will keep you coming back, and the fact that there is no UI is probably on of my favorite things about the game. The combat is fun, the stealth is fun, and it's just fun to explore.

    Combat is the best for an open world I’ve ever seen. Gameplay is kinetic, brutal, and incredibly satisfying once it clicks. Visuals are stunning. World is immersive. Story is compelling. Would be 10 out of 10, but a few glitches that (while hilarious at most times) can’t be overlooked. Amazing game!

    Though I have only been able to play through the first act of the game it has been a great game, though I have died more times than I can count (hard mode might just be too hard for me), it is a beautiful looking game and the gameplay great as well. While there are a few kink's in the AI when sneaking around it is still a game I would call Game Of The Year worthy.

    I am about 15+ hours into the game since Friday evening, and I am enjoying every minute of it. There are a few faults here and there, but ultimately this is one of the last AAA titles to allow it's player to be a participant in the story instead of an audience member to an interactive movie and so I want to encourage more of these types of games going into the next console generation.I am about 15+ hours into the game since Friday evening, and I am enjoying every minute of it. There are a few faults here and there, but ultimately this is one of the last AAA titles to allow it's player to be a participant in the story instead of an audience member to an interactive movie and so I want to encourage more of these types of games going into the next console generation.

    The game rewards your exploration, it challenges you with enemies who can easily best you if you let them flank or surround you, and the upgrade system of weaponry and gear isn't as linear as most games. Instead of numeric values increasing so that you can chase mediocrity against spongier enemies, many qualities of a weapon such as attack speed and stealth detection are also enhanced at the same time. Although this game doesn't go full RPG, I kind of wish more open world RPGs would consolidate their perk system into their blacksmithing the way Sucker Punch has with Ghost of Tsushima.

    For instance, rolling up to a Mongol-Invaded Territory in full Samurai Clan Gear and calling out their boys for a stand off feels so authentic. I am built not only to have a healthy amount of HP but also gain skill points when I take damage (which can be applied toward healing surges OR amazing attacks to even the playing field). Combine this with some charms that award me health upon the slaying of an enemy and some extra damage when I fall below 50% health and I am more than confident to call attention to half a dozen invading forces and dismantle them honorably. The flipside of this is the Ronin Robes, which lower the rate at which enemies detect me and then give me a generous boost to my melee damage. This way I can quickly go about the same settlement and tear apart as many of their numbers as I can before I have to go loud. And then, with some careful posturing and creative applications of my tool kit I can strike down some formidable enemy types before they have the opportunity to eliminate me in a couple strokes. The risk-reward is very real and I am a veritable glass cannon, but it's a completely different approach than I would have as an honorable Samurai.

    As I understand it, there are still a few more armor sets to unlock as well. So I am very eager to get back to the game and see what else it has to offer!

    I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love the photo mode, the open world's amazing as well. Getting to change weather with flute, composing poems were great. The outpost liberating is very repititive though and could have been less as well as the fox dens. The first few times it was fun following it but you get annoyed when you have to follow a fox for 50 times and liberate 50 outpost.Supplies really didn't make sense the upgrading weapons and armour section felt weak as it's just getting supplies and a few other stuffs they should have added more individual materials. Story wise it was great and wasn't predictable like most other games felt really betrayed wat ACT 1 ending. Combat wise the duels are really fun but my favourite are always standoffs. Fills up the resolve which was a great touch. I didn't like the stealth mode though no honour in that xD… Expand

    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.
