    Gorgeous game, very fun exploration and beautiful map. Combat is amazing.
    Skill trees and the sheer amount of things there are to upgrade is expansive.
    You can tell much heart went into the making of this game.
    And best of all, there's no liberal sjw agenda in it!

    The combat and exploration I have been missing in a while is good. The story and world is immersive. Have not finished the game but glad I bought it. I love the upgrading of weapons, the combat I have gotten use to and enjoying after 2 days of playing. This is my first Samurai RPG and loving it.

    This game is easily the best game i have played this year. immersive story with awesome graphics. The game also have one of the best and satisfying combatsystems i have ever witnessed. I highly recommend the game for people enjoying a mix of storydriven and rpg type games. the only thing i have to criticize it on is that i wish the main story was longer. definitely worthy of a GOTY nomination

    Love this game, the characters are interesting and the environment is stunning, I love exploring it. The random encounters and combat break keep things interesting. My only criticisms are no lock on for fights and some of the search quests are in massive areas.

    That’s the strange thing, outside of the of the stunningly beautiful and dynamic world full of orange trees, purple flowers and luscious green grasses (to name just a few of the colourful flora you’ll encounter in the game), none of the core game dynamics seems to be particularly original or innovative; but then they don’t have to be, because the genius in Sucker Punch’s realisation is the studio’s stunning and brave decision to put all their collective talents into making a traditional video game designed to appeal, as much as possible, to anyone who enjoys playing video games, while having to accept the backlash of joy, gratitude and praise that such a hugely unpopular decision ended up bringing to the table.    … Expand

    my first review for a game and this is the game to pop my cheery on it, what a great game and combat great with a old world that look better the the witcher 3 in places but yes the open world in the 3 act and the same got to map and do is start to wear thin but the fast action sword combat.

    The point of this review is to advise a potential buyer whether this is a good enough game to purchase. After just beating the game yesterday (Not 100% for the game though), I cannot recommend this game enough.

After just beating the game yesterday (Not 100% for the game though), I cannot recommend this game enough.

    The game is visually stunning! I found myself stopping to use the photo mode, and that's coming from someone who hardly ever uses that feature, everything was given attention to detail. The animations are very fluid in combat. The trees and grass blowing with the wind, the armor your character wears, etc. I constantly found myself amazed even towards the end of the game.

    The controls are very intuitive, finally a game that takes advantage of the touchpad for the DS4, I only hope that more games take this approach. You can swipe up on the touchpad to see where you need to go, or press it to go into stealth mode, or right to sheathe/unsheathe your sword. I love this feature and hope PS5 takes advantage of the DS5 controller like this game did for the DS4 controller.

    The combat is the meat and potatoes of this game, and it does not fail to impress. There is a learning curve to mastering combat, not dark souls or Sekiro, but still challenging all the way to the end. There are so many techniques to learn and master. The ability to switch stances to counter a specific enemy type (spearman, shield, brute, sword) have a great impact on your ability to defeat your opponents. The standoff mode is also very fun, you must wait for your opponent to strike, but sometimes the enemy will faint an attack, if you swing it'll cost you most of your health. However, if you succeed, the killing is satisfying. Plus, there are upgrades that allow you to chain your kills in standoff, making it extremely helpful in taking out as many enemies as possible in the beginning of combat.

    The stealth is where this game has issues (combined with some stupid AI), although luckily this game (with exception of certain missions) allows you to take on the game head on or try to sneak around and kill them quietly. I will say that stealth gets better as you learn new techniques and upgrade your weapons, however I found myself using the standoff mode. It's still fun, but not nearly as great as facing the enemy head on like a Samurai.

    I loved the story, I'll try to keep it spoiler free, but it is based on one of the Mongol invasions of the 1200s. Your character is trying to free Tsushima, all while internally struggling with the tactics he uses to defeat them. As it was frowned upon for a Samurai to be "sneaking around like a thief"(actual quote from the game), he must use what he can to free the island from the Mongols. A very gripping story that brings out some very memorable moments.

    Side quests are not great but are better than most open world games. Although the lack of HUD in this game helps with exploration of the Island, instead being guided by the wind and pillars of smoke. Sometimes you'll come across a fox and follow him to a shrine to unlock more slots for charms (useful ability boosters). Other times it'll revolve around helping a villager. The side stories luckily all tie into the main story. Which helps the story, because you get to know each of your companions and see that they too are human and go through struggles in their quest to repel the invasion. You see their worst, and their best, in their in personal struggles. Something that few games do well.

    In summary, Ghost of Tsushima is a great end to the PS4 generation. It takes the stale open world genre and refines it. The storytelling is by far one of the best I’ve seen all the way to the end. The combat is extremely satisfying, taking on varying enemies forcing you to adapt to each enemy type on the fly. A mostly HUD free game that allows the play to take in the visuals without any distractions. A quick loading system for fast travel and dying gives us a small glimpse of what PS5 will offer (I look forward to playing the PS5 version). With exception to how stealth is done in this game, along with some small bugs. This game is a must buy for anyone looking for a historically based Japanese Samurai game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go liberate Tsushima from the mongels.    … Expand

    I am personally a fan of narrative driven games and the fact that the story is so linear doesn't bother me much. However the reason Ghost of Tsushima isn't a 10 for me is some story aspects further into the game, but that is simply my preference.
    Another aspect of interest is the horse-riding mechanics. Sucker Punch doesn't try to reinvent the wheel here. The mechanics are smooth and you don't run into trees every two minutes. Yes I'm referencing you RDR2. Sword play is fun and the animation for cleaning your sword after battle my be my favorite mechanic in the whole game.

The way this game is crafted without a HUD, and most everything can be found organically in the world through exploration is amazing and really helps to enhance the stunning visuals while simultaneously enhancing the surrounding sounds from the wind in the trees, Birds chirping or even waves hitting the shore. The attention to detail is astonishing and it sometimes feels more like a work of art rather than an entertainment piece. I have put about 15 hours into the game and am always discovering something new, whether that be saving a farmstead or following a fox to a shrine, I have found that the game always has something for me to discover. It is a game where I can spend an hour wandering around and doing what would be essentially nothing in terms of story progression but still feeling like I accomplished something. This game has easily made it into my top 5 of all time. The only thing stopping me from giving this a 10 is that the combat is not my favourite. I do like the systems for stances however constantly having to switch between stances makes me feel like I'm playing rock paper scissors with enemies at times. I commend them for being creative with the system however, it just isn't to my taste.… Expand

    The gameplay is actually pretty fun, I was worried about getting bored with it, but even though the combat is simple, it can still go south for you very quickly and I like that.

    Combat is smooth takes a time to master and to know how direction atack work.

I only have some small gripes, such as the game needed a little more polish (i.e. items just despawning instead of a holstering animation, Jin clipping through stairs as he walks up/down them, etc).

    The Ghost of Tsushima is one of the greatest games to come out for the PS4, the gameplay is fantastic with amazing graphics that compete with its own E3 demo back in 2018, the combat is some of the best I have ever seen in how fluid the motions are when fighting against each and every opponent you may come across and with how every “Battle” feels like there is something At stake.

The lighting is pure cinematic greatness without overdoing it with crazy bloom effects. Lastly another good idea the developers had was to use a minimal hud to really let you take in the architecture of the ancient Japanese world and all the beautiful trees and flowers and just let you take in the environment to let you feels like you are in a real time period it is not a perfect game as no game is perfect or anything in media is perfect it still is a very easy 9/10 for me.… Expand

    Does it have it's flaws? Yeh, I'm still on the wall (pun intended) about the movement mechanics while climbing cliffs. I found an interesting sequence in the enemy npc (that could be fixed):
    Once they call for reinforcements, going to blow their horns, you can run up to the enemy without them noticing you. From a programming perspective, this means once the ai runs a certain part of the code on the behavior of the enemy npc, it does not perform the seek/seeing activity part of the code anymore.

    Other than that, I have NOTHING to complain about thus far.    … Expand

You feel like a complete badass throughout the game, whether you are an honorable samarai or a brutal ghost. Exploring the island and completing its challenges and side quests doesn't feel like you're just checking of boxes to get that platinum trophy and you are often rewarded well for completing them. I really enjoyed the story and the continuous reminder that you are supposed to fight with honor and i couldn't help but feel bad whenever I took out a camp as the ghost. My opinion on the story may be influenced by the fact that I just have a natural interest in the history of the Mongol empire and ancient Japan but i can definitely see many people enjoying it even if they are not interested in the history. I am not an anime fan so getting a game based in Japan that wasnt just a bunch of magic and invincible characters but was actually a very grounded and brutal experience was a breath of fresh air. If you weren't sure on whether or not to buy this game, take my word for it, you will most likely enjoy it.… Expand

Love the visuals, the combat system, the emphasis on classic japanese storytelling that we know from kurosawa movies and that every place you visit feels like a new place instead of the copy/paste we know from AC Odyssey and Origins.

However, this piece of media is magnificent, beautiful, and will make most of the players stop for a minute to take in the world around them. One important aspect of the game that Sucker Punch was able to translate into the game with sublime skill, is most probably one of the most important parts of such games to most, the immersive experience. This comes from the stunning visuals and of course from the audio experience. When galloping or wandering on foot through the fields and forests of Tsushima, the world fills you with emotion and makes you believe you there. The sounds of the wind blowing, the leaves flying through air and animals calling out to their friends, places you into the shoes of Jin Sakai. And music is masterfully crafted and fits the story and the experience like a glove. To some, the story may resonate and to others, it may feel like they've experienced it before, it is completely true that this game doesn't provide any specific surprises in its narrative that will make you remember it for its unique experience. Nonetheless, it is a solid story that motivates you to spur on and see it to the end. Now going into the gameplay, the sword on sword experience (meaning battles) feels buttery smooth, and if compared to the game that everyone decided to compare it to the (latest installments of Assasins Creed) one could say that these games are worlds apart. The combat feels satisfying, and if mastered can make you feel like the most lethal samurai the world has ever seen and that is what this game does well. It is not forgiving in its combat, meaning that if you make 3 or more mistakes it will cost you your life BUT it also allows you to feel powerful if you manage to cleanly battle through troops of Mongolian soldiers and other enemies. ALSO, the combat has such variety, from multiple stances, to sneak OR head-on attack strategy, to even DUELs and Stand-offs - which makes it always feel fresh and never boring. The fact that one second you can be striking your enemies down with force in warrior battles to hiding and sneaking on them from behind if you feel overwhelmed or just want to feel like an assassin. It needs to be said, the enemies aren't perfect (although the variety is vast) the AI can be a little "dumb" for a lack of a better word but it's not as though 95% of the other games have AI that is solving Einstein's mathematical problems. This is most probably a trope that will elapse with time and an introduction of the new generation consoles, but for now it is still satisfying to battle against this AI and allows you to feel like you are the GHOST, because you are smarter, faster and better than the enemies you hunt. With that said, this game is not easy and it may place you under certain moments of stress and near escapes BUT this is not anything like Dark Souls. This game has a completely different foundation and is not there to grind through every enemy. The use of horses and overall roaming abilities are well balanced and well-executed, although the climbing does feel a little stiff and unresponsive in some instances, it's not game-breaking just can get a little irritating when most of the experience is so smooth. I played the game on the PS4 slim, and in a few instances there were minor frame drops, 98% of the time the game runs perfectly and so far, there haven't been any game-breaking bugs or bugs that make you quit the game or reload the console. I'd even say, I haven't really experienced any bugs whatsoever. The lack of HUD on the screen during gameplay and the use of wind to direct the player towards his/her objectives is immaculate and makes you want to never open the map. The biggest shortcoming of the game is just the fact that there were so many open-world games, Ghost of Tsushima doesn't offer anything particularly new except for a new map, with visuals that make one stand in awe, with a somewhat unique traversal system and of course the tale of the samurai that is historically connected to our world. BUT Sucker Punch was able to take the things we love about the open-world genre and work them in with precision and skill, just like a samurai would. I give this game a rank of FULL HONOUR! This is the perfect way for PS4 era of exclusives to give way to the new era. If you are into an open-world game genre, or just like Japanese culture, this game will be right up your ally. That said, it's not a game for everyone BUT it is a game that stands above most and completely deserves a place next to other open-world titans such as (God of War, Horizon Zero Dawn, and Spider-Man).… Expand

    The main missions in the game are very well written, and the overall story is touching even if it's not revolutionary at all.
    The side missions however vary greatly in quality, with some of them sadly being downright boring and poorly written.

    Finally exploration has all of the tropes you know and love/hate from open world games, but packaged in a way that neatly fits the overall theme and setting of the game, making exploration feel rewarding instead of a checkpoint chore.

    Overall Ghost of Tsushima is a great game, full of fast-paced samurai action, set in a stunning world, that is a true joy to your eyes.
    It doesn't change up the open-world formula much, but instead delivers the known tropes in a focused package.

The only reason I wont give a 10 is because the gameplay sometimes falls into the trap of repetitiveness which is pretty common with modern day open world games.

    Absolutely masterpiece, i waited years for a game like that, a little more effort and it the game could have been a full 10, but is still good Pros:
    -The environments and landscapes
    -The combat system is very deep and pretty challeging for most part of the game -Story is simple but works pretty well -The music is so good, and is always in theme with the moment -Sidequests are pretty well    Absolutely masterpiece, i waited years for a game like that, a little more effort and it the game could have been a full 10, but is still good Pros:

    -Can become ripetitive

    -If you are tierd of open worlds well, I have bad news for you    … Expand

The story is fascinating and keeps you wondering what will happen next as all the characters have their struggles to preserve themselves without giving in to pressure of destroying who they were.
    That being said I hadn't seen much bugs or glitches, nothing major from what i have noticed at least, I can only nitpick about how hefty the character's "main" armor looks compared to the cover of the game or how i wish i could dual-wield katanas but maybe they're saving that one for another game. I also want to point out that this game expanded my knowledge on Japanese culture and I believe although it is only a game it honors the memory of the real men and women of that time. Thank you for an amazing experience Sucker Punch.

    Looking through the reviews I hate that everyone is comparing this to TLOU2 as if this was a subreddit or TLOU2 is the newest DarkSouls preset comparison but I sort of get it. It was the latest anticipated game that everyone had an opinion about. I'm just hoping more people realize that critic companies are just as human as the people who review bombs.    … Expand

    Jogo muito bom, cenário e música sensacional, o que me impediu de dar 10 foi por conta das missões que realmente são repetitivas, mas nada que atrapalhe o jogo em si, acho que isso é mais uma questão pessoal, jogo bom.

    Absolutely wonderful atmosphere and gameplay. The only portion of the game that falls short is the glitches and bugs, which will hopefully get ironed out in the coming weeks. Sucker Punch delivered an instant classic with good storytelling, a gorgeous world, and great gameplay mechanics. My favorite release of 2020 to date. I can't wait to see what Sucker Punch has in store for us in the future.

    Great game! If your any sort of fan of samurai or even the earlier assassins creed games and loved those tough but awesome duels in sekiro then you'll love this game. It has a big beautiful map with many places to explore, breath of the wild esque but you can't climb everything.

It has a big beautiful map with many places to explore, breath of the wild esque but you can't climb everything. Side quests barely feel like a side quest compared to most of the video games that get their side quest inspiration from MMO's, instead it feels like you're really going around helping and saving the people of Tsushima to be free from the Mongol invaders. Graphics are great comparable to Horizon zero dawn. I might be spoiled by PC gaming but I hate motion blur and since this is a console you can disable it sadly so I had to adjust and get used to that dumb graphical tweak that consoles live so much. All in all that's my only gripe with the game and I wouldn't have noticed it if I wasn't a PC player. So I you like a good sword fight or samurai movies and stories, pick up Ghost of Tsushima you'll love it.… Expand

    Nearly a perfect open-world game. The story is well written and entertaining, the combat evolves over time, and the graphics - my god the graphics.. my only minor gripes are some small bugs and a few a.i. issues. My pick for game of the year

    Great game, a worthy swan song for the PS4. Not perfect, no target lock can irritate and some some collision issues when jumping in certain places. With that said, the graphics are stunning, the environments diverse and the story is good with the focal point being Jin's duality between his honor and saving his people. Combat is cool, with mastering stances being a prime aspect of combat.

    I've really enjoyed this game. It has been one of if not the most beautiful game i have ever played. The combat is fun and I haven't tired of it. I also really enjoy the stealth mechanics and animations are amazing. I am also glad there is no level gating and you can do things at your own pace.

    I enjoy the gameplay of Ghost of Tsushima, There are some bugs that need to be ironed out, but on a whole the gameplay itself can get a little old but I don't think that detracts from the game as a whole.....at least not yet.

I do recommend at least giving this game a shot if you enjoy 3rd person games.… Expand

    Beautiful looking game with music that sets the mood. The combat is fluid and fast and can be over in seconds for you or your foe . The photo mode is a wonderful feature and the landscapes add to the need to take pictures . I haven't enjoyed a game this much since Red dead 2.

    This game is great don’t believe me go buy it and play it. It a story driven Samurai game. Great graphics it’s beautiful the world building is incredible. I love the idea of the balance between the code of the Samurai and the way of the ghost and his love for his family and his people. Great game please add this to your Collection.

    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.
