    One of the best games I've played in a long time! It's great to see Jin go through the struggle of fighting off Mongels, and really coming to terms with becoming the ~ghost~.

    It’s a beautiful game, those who talk bad is because they know nothing about Japanese stories, they connect in a very good way the story of the game and the Japanese movies

    I'll keep this short.

    I literally can not put this game down. I have to force myself to quit playing.

    From truly addicting combat to the overall beauty of this crafted world it truly is a masterpiece. It only loses a point for the occasional glitch and stutter. Other than that I recommend you buy it.

    With that said, Ghost of Tsushima is the open world game I didn't know I needed. All the recent Ubisoft titles made Open world games super tiresome for me, the same formulas repeated over and over again.

    Sucker's Punch Ghost of Tsushima completed refreshed the genre. Combat is the strongest point of the game, it has some similar characteristics to the one found in Batman series, Spider-Man (2018) or even older Assassin's Creed titles, but the combat system here is refined at its finest, most of the bossfights (duels) are spectacular, remembering the thrill of From's Souls series, Sekiro in particular.

    Visuals are gorgeous, I was never a fan of photo mode in other games, but in GoT I used it for capturing amazing moments, you'll find yourself staring at the beautiful landscape while exploring.
    Exploration is good thanks to the almost non-existent indicators in the screen, you can remove even more with Expert Mode (which I did). All these factors combined means that you are actually looking at what is happening in the world, not some mini-map (learn Rockstar).

    Side activities are actually interesting, you're always getting something from what you do. The variety of these activities is not really big, but to me it works, because I like doing all of them.

    Sound and soundtrack are amazing, they know the balance of sound and silence. Japanese themed songs are great.

    The weakest point of the game is the campaign story. It's not bad, but at least for now it's bland and from what I've heard, it's just ok. Some people will not like this aspect but I don't bother because when I play open world games like this, the campaign is what I'm least interested at.

    Sucker Punch learned all the wrongs of past open world titles and created one of the best of PS4.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a must PS4 title.

    Sony has done it again! Major props to Sucker Punch who made a perfect realistic Samurai game that gamers have been waiting eagerly and anxiously for since its teaser premier years ago at E3. This is the game we needed after the latest controversial Sony exclusive that had the fanbase devided. 2020 is not over yet but Ghost of Tsushima is thus far my game of the year. It has earned a 10 out of 10!

A história principal de Jin Sakai é sutilmente genêrica, abordado o tema de honra e tradição de um samurai indo de encontro com a necessidade de Jin em largar a tradição e lutar como um fantasma para derrotar os mongóis, já que os mesmos não lutam com honra, Jin não deve fazer o mesmo, e fará de tudo para alcançar a vitória e ajudar o povo de Tsushima a viverem suas vidas normalmente. O jogo é esteticamenre lindo, esbelto e cheio de cenários de encher os olhos, sendo quase impossível passar mais de 5 minutos sem querer abrir o modo foto e fazer uma obra de arte. O jogo peca em algumas expressões faciais pe na sincronia dos movimentos labiais com a dublagem, que no caso é a japonêsa, e obviamente é a melhor, com um elenco dddicado a entregar a melhor experiência possível, com histórias de personagens secundários sendo executada de maneira fenomenal, cada uma com início, meio e fim, com suas motivações e desejos, tudo isso se entrelaçando com a história de Jin. Sem sombra de dúvida um dos melhores jogos já feitos e fácilmente um do meu Top 10.… Expand

The story and the pacing of both main quest and side quest with the sporadic secrets and things to uncover felt better than any other game to date.

There's a few issues that irk me like the camera and no lock on system at all in combat and the boats in the ocean not moving when your far up and see tons of boats far out in the distance.

Not much else I’ll say on that part.. though I have a feeling I’m gonna cry like I did with Red Dead 2, Metro Exodus, Death Stranding, Halo 3, and Assassins Creed Odyssey. Speaking of which, if you’re a fan of the ubisoft formula and like checking stuff off but want something a tad more fresh, this is definitely for you.

    The only gripes I have are that sometimes the game looks like it came out during this console generations start in regulars to characters. The models don’t look as good as they could be. And the lip syncing is kinda off. (I’m playing on a PS4 Slim that barely gets used cause I mostly play on Xbox. And I chose to have them speaking English with the normal filter on, so if that’s the reason then forgive me XD). When you run through bamboo forests you literally can walk through the bamboo whether on horseback or foot. Like.. it pulls me out of it if I think about it. I only hope they fix it. Because being able to walk through trees kinda breaks the immersion. As well as the fact that whenever Jin pulls out his bow he pulls it out of thin air and grabs at a quiver that isn’t there. I’ve not checked to see if other outfits have the same issue.. perhaps it’s just because I have the traveler outfit on.. but if not then I don’t like that.

    Please note I’ve only spent a few hours in the game and have not seen it all through yet. This is just an initial review. If you like historical open world games or want to live your Samurai fantasy, this is a must buy. But it definitely isn’t for everyone.    … Expand

The massive open world offers many beautiful locations to take full advantage of its photo mode, as well as set the tone for the epic battles that take place in them. The story being the next downside as its pretty bland and predictable, however the many side quests (Tales of Tsushima and Mythic Tales) offer a deeper look into the lore of the world we find ourselves in. sure not all the side quests offer such, but the companions you set out to recruit offer up some nice "Tales" to get to know them better and develop their character further.

    Overall the game offers up enough for the player to really want to explore every inch of the massive map. whether it be the vanity pieces (cosmetic items) or the many collectibles and artifacts. you will always have something to do as in most open world AAA's. Combat is where this game really shines, bringing the cinematic dramatization of Samurai epics into play each fight feels rewarding and satisfying. While the minor enemies may not offer up much of a challenge in the later hours, some of the mini bosses and bosses can be tricky. Amazing solid game from Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    To say that this game is “just another assassin’s creed game” is outright blasphemous. Perhaps the only notable AC thing about this game are the stealth kills.

Perhaps the only notable AC thing about this game are the stealth kills. Climbing mechanics feel more like Uncharted, world building a bit like Horizon Zero Dawn and the overall world presentation and exploration is like that of Breath of the Wild’s. All of which are great games so I literally have no issues with it whatsoever. It’s like the perfect culmination of everything that’s great about open world games.

    The best thing about this game is the combat. Jheezas, as soon as you sort of master the stance switches and the perfect parries, it really does make you feel like some invincible samurai who can easily storm through the gates of a castle town. Except for the fact that the game doesn’t fail to humble you in combat from time to time which helps remind you how essential it is to time your strikes as well as your quick fire tools at your disposal.

    A common complaint among critics is the repetitiveness of the side missions — so you’ll give the like’s of AC Odyssey and RDR2 a pass but not this one? C’mon now. I like the side missions in this game especially the tales ones. The special side missions are also great as the equipments/moves you acquire from them really do enhance the the gameplay. Don’t get me started with the Black Dye Merchant. Good gawd. Black armor with a red katana hilt anyone? Could not ask for more. But obviously that’s just a personal preference. Also, I like how I haven’t had to reference my map to unlock/start side missions for the most part as the method for unlocking said missions are organically done in the game — just explore and you’ll see what I mean!

    By the way, I love how there’s no camera lock during combat as it increases your need to focus and the overall sense of urgency.
    Duels are always fun but my only gripe is that the intros are always the same but hey, they are pretty intros anyway. The open world is jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Like there are some locations in this game which makes you wanna slow down your trusty horse companion just so you can bask in the glory of the view before you. I swear I spend too much time using the photo mode in this game. It’s just so well crafted, I mean what can I say?

    Writing haikus are super relaxing experiences. I’ll leave that for you to explore but those are my 2 cents.

    This game is a dream like honestly, what a time to be alive as a gamer who’s into samurai warriors and whatnot.

    This is one of the best game, since Skyrim (in my opinion). I have played a lot of story focused games but never in my life none of the games had ever hit my feelings spot, but this game did. In one particular quest hit me really hard and I cried at the end of the quest, because the character reminded me of someone in my life. So this game just became personal to me.

    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.
