The story is great, charecters are amazing, side quest (major ones) are involving and greatly written. Combat mechanics ruined other games for me by being so f**** great. I am a fan of the theme (old Japan) thus this game for me is THE game that is better then Witcher 3!… Expand

    8.9. The storyline was incredible. It shows what war does to people and the action taken to save ones home, be honorable or seen as evil. There was some major FPS drops when it came to the boss battle. But overall, I highly recommend giving this one a try before anything else made this year.

    Ghost of Tsushima is an entertaining open world game with a more grounded take on the samurai genre that hits its mark well. You really feel like a samurai and experience the adrenaline rush of slashing through enemies like a badass. The combat is fun and engaging with the only gripe being the lack of a lock on mode when fighting enemies.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima was a wonderful game to play! Even the side missions had an actual story filled with emotions. The only downside is the game was glitchy sometimes. Combat seemed repetitive pretty early. The issue i saw with the armor was that I was usually tied stuck using the traveler armor more than anything else. And if I wasn’t using then I was using the ghost armor. I think that instead of going to grab 20 million different armor sets that they had perks that you can attach to your ghost armor. I would have rather seen that than having to tie between being stealthy and “wearing traveling armor”. Also when I wanted to be stealthy it seemed difficult. It wasn’t stealthy like assassins creed stealthy which kinda sucked. Instead of having a person rotate around their territory they would stay in one spot for a bit. I didn’t like that tbh. But the story is amazing. I chose the “bad” ending which I think was more emotional than the “good” ending. I rarely ever cry but this game got me when I chose the bad ending. Even during some of the side quests got me. And I was either emotional distraught over a character or sympathized with them. Story:10/10

    The only reason i can't give this a 10/10 is because it isn't a "Perfect" game. There are glitches and problems. Despite all of that, this game is amazing, I love every last bit of it so far, and will continue to do so. Cyberpunk 2077 has a strong contender for best game.

Running on your horse is quite relaxing. Has some glitches here and there but they don't hurt the gameplay and it's funny when they occur. The AI may not be the smartest but at least it isn't as blind as in other games. Game's verticality is great, climbing and parkour are fun but the game doesn't force you to do them.

    I have just finished this masterpiece.

    If you play no other game this year, I humbly suggest you play Ghost of Tsushima.

    It is a harrowing tale, but one rooted in both folklore and history. Jin Sakai is perhaps one of the most fleshed out protagonists that has ever been created in this medium.

    Sucker Punch Entertainment hit this one clear out of the park.

    A solid 9/10.

    This is hands down the best looking game of this generation, besides last of us 2 (don’t get me started on the butthurt fans of that game trying to trash this one...yes I also played it and didn’t hate it but didn’t love it), and you will stop multiple times to go into photo mode and take amazing pictures and just be blown away but the scope and detail of the world.

    Gameplay, in my opinion, is fantastic. This is also playing on hard so the enemies don’t “wait” to attack you like I’ve herd some people say happen. You definitely need to change between all four stances on the fly and utilize all of the equipment you eventually unlock in some situations and I feel like you are constantly rewarded for all play styles.

    Story I have been actually liking a lot. I do believe that Witcher 3, Horizon zero dawn and the last of us (original) all pulled me in more. However, this completely satisfies my samurai dreams of cutting down bad guys easily with effortless ease and has even gotten me to get a bit choked up during certain parts of the game so far.

    Yea there are bugs, I have experience no game breaking ones as of right now but have had a god laugh at some of the small ones.

    Word of advice, if the game is too easy...bump it up to hard. Also if you are having a hard time with the game, equip the charm that allows you to gather more resources as you will quickly find you can max out armor easily and even your bows.

    I’m definitely looking forward to completing the rest of this game and I’m glad to say I owned this day one. May even end up spotting into the top 10 for games I have played tbh!    … Expand

    Não é um jogo estilo Nioh e Sekiro em que você precisa enfrentar monstros. Aqui, o combate é somente com humanos a alguns animais selvagens, nada desse mundo fantasioso dos jogos citados.

    Existem melhorias a serem feitas no jogo? Óbvio, mas nada que umas atualizações não arrumem.
    Os bugs (após o patch 1.04) atrapalham a experiencia do jogo? De maneira alguma.

    Sim, as texturas poderiam ser mais polidas e as expressões faciais também, mas como já disse, nada que desabone o jogo.

    I am highly impressed with Ghost of Tsushima and constantly have issues setting it down for any reason.
    It isn't perfect, but frankly its issues aren't worth talking about as they would only sound like petty nitpicks and are inherent to the type of game it is.
    If you are a fan of open-world exploration games such as The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn you will not be disappointed in Ghost at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima is an open world game done right. Art style, characters, and setting are all a perfect fit for anyone that loves open world, and story driven games I found myself finishing the games main story, side quest, and exploration goals at about 60 to 70 hours, and i honestly enjoyed every minute of gameplay. The combat is fun and easy to learn and the enemys can be brutal and harsh to fight in a group. The enemy AI sometimes messes up having an enemy kind of stand in a tent doorway and lose you from 2 feet away making for easy kills, also the stance system sometimes would not register what stance i chose making me attack a shield user whith a spear attack stance. The story was amazing playing as a honorable samurai who fights for his code and homeland or playing as the stealthy ghost who fights with deadly poisons and assassins tacticsto save his people. The way you play is up to you but you are forced to be the ghost at the end of your journey when the main character realizes that the way to fight an enemy can not always be with honor and sometimes you have to fight dirty branding the ghost a traitor of japan and eventually leading to his clans disbanding, and a duel with your uncle where you can choose to kill or spare him. Edaysther way the ghost will be hunted until the end of his days.

    Overall the game is an amazing accomplishment and deserves high praise which is why i rate it 9/10. If it were not for my stance choices not registering, and AI not getting stuck sometimes i would have rated 10/10    … Expand

The characters are a bit dull, but the story is still very entertaining, it’s very similar to older samurai movies. The open world is designed wonderfully, and everything looks beautiful, and while exploring the already amazing world, a golden bird may fly down and guide you to an undiscovered location. The game provides a long 30 hour base game, with plenty of other content mixed in for a longer and much more entertaining experience. There are also plenty of tools to be used for stealth and combat that evens the odds in unfair situations, for example, sticky bombs will effect every enemy in a close area perfect for if your overwhelmed, bows are great for stealth and dealing with the stronger enemy’s from a far distance, and the blow dart will one shot any enemy unless you hit a shield.

    Exploration is the key of the game, Navigating Tsushima itself is fantastic with the gust of wind telling you where to go, foxes showing you shrines and golden birds to show you points of interest.

    Combat is great and you have variety of stances and weapons on your arsenal.
    Narrative is great and you get to know more of Jin Sakai’s story about following his strict code or find other ways to beat the Mongolians.

    Customization is unique because of each armor has their own abilities and perks and you can pick your own headband and masks that you can require by doing missions or exploring the world.

    Lots of activities there like composing Haiku, relaxing in onsen, visiting shrines of Inari and mountains, cutting down bamboos and plenty more.

    Side missions are the best like The Witcher 3 which tells a small tale of that character in the certain mission and you’ll know their character development and story throughout the game.

    Narrative on the other hand is really good and knowing about Jin's past and has to follow the strict Samurai code and you'll know more of his character development for his people and his trusted allies.

    Cons:
    Stealth is pretty okay with me but the AI can be dumb at sometime like they’re trying to find you but you simply in the tent and they don’t bother checking it in there.

    Camera can be your enemy as well. Because big objects can also block your view and it can be distracting since you’re facing a bunch of enemies,

    Mission design can be repetitive and also tedious like the tailing missions and those auto restart the mission if you get detected, its like back in the early 2010s.

    The villain itself is somewhat interesting since he has his motives but he's like Bowser since he'll just hop on another castle while you're trying to get him and you got this report that he rode there.

    Overall its a great experience to try out a modern samurai game and its either you can buy it now or wait for it on sale and its about 40gb it wont take up that much space.    … Expand

It’s got some pretty dumb AI that makes the stealth a little awkward sometimes, but most of the time the stealth is still really fun. And if you decide to be an honorable samurai, the combat is incredible. The stances introduce a level of complexity that I still haven’t unlocked the full depths of. On surface level, each stance just works better against different enemies (which on its own can make the strategy of each fight really fun) but once you start to get good at switching stances around you realize how personalized each fight can become. Each stance has a variety of different heavy attacks that all have cool different animations, and when you finally start experimenting successfully with these, it’s incredibly badass. One of the better combat systems I’ve ever seen in a video game, though the difficulty levels may leave a little to desire for people who enjoy From Software games.

    The world is like constantly walking through the most perfect samurai movie. It’s nothing like real life Tsushima (which apparently is mostly mountains and dense forest, which is beautiful in its own right but wouldn’t make for a very fun open world), and instead pulls biomes from all over mainland Japan. There’s an incredible simplicity with each area that really makes every single moment memorable. Jason Connell and the rest of the art team really had a clear vision of minimalism and executed it perfectly.

    The music as well accents every second of the game perfectly. It’s not always playing, and it doesn’t have the same consistent ambient music like in Red Dead, but this means that when it starts to play it really evokes every emotion it’s meant to. The strongest example of this for me is when you’re following a fox to an Inari shrine. Absolutely magical moment every time, as a furry little friend leads you to the shrine, this beautiful ethereal music eases its way into your ears filling you with an incredible sense of wonder and magic. Truly one of the best moments of the game every time it happens.

    The story is much more mature than I was really expecting, especially given how little of it they actual showed in their marketing. It doesn’t do too much to really shock you or subvert the typical tropes of the samurai Genre, but it’s an incredible story of Jin Sakai having to go against everything he knows and was taught growing up. His relationship with his uncle is very well built and serves as a great contrast, as Jin is changing into the ghost, and his Honorable uncle who taught him everything he knows has to essentially watch him turn into everything he told him not to be.

    The only real downsides this game has aren’t very big ones. The AI can be pretty dumb, but not dumb enough that either style of combat is made to be not fun. The animations can be a little sloppy sometimes, and once you are fully upgraded for stealth, the assassination animations really lack any variety. The lip sync in cut scenes is really sloppy, and the cutscenes in general (specifically outside of the main story) really lack any inspiration or interesting movement by the character models, they mostly just are standing there doing gestures at each other, which isn’t a big deal except that the side quest they showed at E3 2018 was much more interesting than any other side quest cut scene in the game.

    This has to be one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. It doesn’t quite have the same polish of games like RDR2 or TLoU, or even GoW, but at the end of the day it’s just fun to play. From the combat, to walking around the world following birds and foxes, the moment to moment gameplay is always immersive and fun. I fully recommend this game to anyone who enjoys open world actions games.    … Expand

Actually I had a lot of fun with the combat system and I can't clearly tell you why. The story is cool if you are into Samurai stuff, like the 武士道 (Bushido code), or you just have some backround knowledge about the mongolinvasion etc. but if not it's a okay story not overwhelming. But the whole exploration is just astonishing, in my opinion, it's fun and the lovely little details, like petting a fox, climbing up Shinto shrines, or just relaxing in an onzen makes it even much better. The sidequests gives us a look in diffrent personalities, which we meet in our revenge trip. Like the one with massako a women, who lost her whole family and has nothing else in her mind, than revenge for her family. And the Ishikawa storyline is cool too. It's kinda like Anakin vs Obi wan. The only thing I doesn't like is the whole camera stuff. It is annoying sometimes, like in from software games.

    Since I am a story buff, I love playing games with a really good story in them.    I've been waiting for this game ever since it was announced in 2018. Even though Suckerpunch did not reveal many things about the game up until its release, it made me more excited for what was to come. I can with full confidence say that I enjoyed the game thoroughly and am now on a second playthrough.

    Since I am a story buff, I love playing games with a really good story in them. Ghost of Tsushima delivered a cinema-worthy story that I will remember for a long time, which also included some noteworthy teachings about the perspective of honor, sacrifice and legacy. I really hope that this can become a long-standing IP on the same levels of Assassins' Creed.

    I'll be honest, combat took a while to get used to, more so since I played through the whole game on Hard difficulty. The enemies are brutal in the beginning of the game, since one would have to get used to the combat system. But after involving oneself a bit more into the combat, as well as unlocking new techniques and tools, the game becomes easier to play, as well as more fluid. This will then result in a much more enjoyable combat experience. Whether you want to play as a honorable samurai, a fallen ronin, or a stealthy ninja; this game got you covered. To get a glimpse of what combat fluidity can look like in this game, I recommend watching the recent Youtube videos made by Youtubers such as Swifty Unknown and THE GAMER EYES.

    The graphics are absolutely STUNNING! I am not a huge graphics enthusiast, but even I got to say that this game is absolutely beautiful. Almost every place and scene in this game is screenshot-worthy, especially with the Photo Mode that exists in the game. As evidenced by the already many pictures submitted by the community, this game does not skip a single beat when it comes to the aesthetics.

    That being said, I noticed the game still has a few bugs related to movement of the character, but not a complete game breaker since they rarely ever happen. Some side quests can be a bit repetitive in their objectives, but they all also have their own story.

    As a conclusion, I recommend any person into the samurai/ninja fantasy to pick this up immediately. It's a beautiful game with a gripping story and thrilling combat.

    Ghost Of Tsushima is a great game and gets a lot of things right.

    If you like open world type games this is one of the best games of that type to get, honestly one of the best experiences from start to finish and I enjoyed it so much I decided to earn the platinum trophy.

    There is only one flaw only — the content is not diverse and complexing enough to be a great open world game. But the immersive art design and fascinating combat machanics definitely make it one of the greatest history-action game ever made.

In terms of stealth this game can reaming you of AC but ITS combat is WHOLE DIFFERENT ANIMAL!! The Samurai stand off is a thing of beauty and a specially when again one of main Opponents makes you feel like you in one of old Japanese movies , Great stuff. I mean I can go on and on about all great stuff this game does but I encourage you to try it young samurai ..you would not be disappointed. Oh and did I mentioned NOT "TIME SAVERS OR SURPRISE MECHANICS " LOL. Thats why this game is 9 out of ten and 1 point is begin stolen by deer on the roof . Hope you liked my first review… Expand

    Strictly one of the best game in whole generation. Maybe it not so advanced like Last of Us 2 (which is technologically flawless), but the design of the open world is the best in games so far....

    This game is so addicting. OMG i have not had so much fun with a game since God of War.
    I want to thank the whole Sucker Punch team for giving us a superb game to play, and just sit back and clear our minds during these tough times. AWSOME JOB!!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As I type thisl am watching the credits roll and have to whole heartedly profess that no game has ever had me in tears like this game just did. Thank you Sucker Punch. You have created (for me personally) such an emotionally engaging masterpiece like no other game I have played before. From the visually stunning environment(s), perfectly chosen & created music and sounds, to the wonderfully written story and in-depth character building that has made for one of the best, so far, games I ever have played. I truly enjoyed every and all aspects of this game.… Expand

Now the game isn’t perfect the combat felt a little clunky at times and the use of the R2 button to switch stances sometimes made my character jump or dodge side to side cause I’m assuming I’m pressing everything to fast. My only big problem the side mission and most of the activities got repetitive towards the middle of the game. But there were a few gems of smaller missions tho. With that being said tho everything else is amazing. The main story, the characters and seeing how Jin transforms through out the game was amazing to see. And visually this game is something else. I could literally just find a nice spot just to soak up the amazing graphics and art direction. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I played a game so beautiful and it’s all so detailed, closet game I can think of is RD2 but something about GoS art direction gives it a slight edge. The game does start off slow but once it’s running it doesn’t stop and lets you free to however you want to play. By the end you feel like a samurai/ninja. Highly recommend it to any PS4 players.… Expand

    I didn't expect the game to be this good tbh

    Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game, this WILL win best art direction at the game awards. I have not enjoyed an open world this much since red dead 2, it is filled with cool stuff to do, there are different types of side missions. First is your average side mission where you have to kill a guy or save someone, then there are mythic tales    I didn't expect the game to be this good tbh

    Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game, this WILL win best art direction at the game awards.

    I have not enjoyed an open world this much since red dead 2, it is filled with cool stuff to do, there are different types of side missions. First is your average side mission where you have to kill a guy or save someone, then there are mythic tales (this is where it gets interesting) in these missions you hunt down myths all over the island, very well written and interesting. There are also character tales, you will encounter some characters throughout the story and you can help them in their own troubles outside of the main story, while not as good as mythic stale, still some solid side missions

    The combat is the best thing about it, it is very satisfying and challenging. You never get tired of the combat in this game

    The story, while some found it generic, I found it very good and it can get you emotional at times, it is not some masterpiece but it is a story told very well

    Stealth, I do not usually use stealth in games (not a big fan) it is basic stealth but I enjoyed it

    The soundtrack sounds like something out of God of War, it is amazing

    The load times are insanely fast

    I have a problem with the camera, things get really frustrating at time when you are fighting an enemy and the camera is stuck behind a wall and I also have a problem with unskippable cutscenes and I hope they will bring a New game plus soon

    Overall, 9.5/10 amazing game    … Expand

    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.
