    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An absolutely incredible game that I have waited a looong time for! I bought a ps4 almost exclusively for this game. The combat system is beautiful and rewarding. The exploration is exciting and breathtaking. However the story is its only drawback in my opinion. As someone who is steeped in japanese historical text, movies and the like, the overexaggerated sense of what was "honorable" was annoying at best. As someone who has spent countless hours scouring old historical sites and other direct sources of information this tended to get quite tiring as I played. I was also under the false impression that the style you chose to play the game (samurai or "ghost"), would alter the course of the story events. This however is not that case which was sad but my fault for having that built up in my mind. A pretense created by the marketing of the game.

    Those small and personal issues aside, I enjoyed my time with this game immensely and and now enjoying the INCREDIBLE free Legends DLC which has blown my mind. Honestly the game could have just been this and it would have been amazing in my mind! I so desperately hope for more games in the future adding possibly weapons as well.

    Thank you Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    The play station exclusive we’ve been waiting for! The game is stunningly beautiful, very well rewarded exploration, deep and very fun combat that offers many options and never gets old. AI is ver bad though, can sometimes make stealth not fun. The story offers many cool memorable moments but also suffers of bad writing sometimes, it’s a decent-good story overall. Great game!

    GoT does all the little things right and I’ve been waiting for a game like this, something I’m not able to just put down. People often compare GoT to the Assassin’s Creed Series, and while it does bear some resemblance (to the earlier releases), it does AC better with its pacing and storytelling. This isn’t a perfect game but it does come close just short of a few points.

    What went    GoT does all the little things right and I’ve been waiting for a game like this, something I’m not able to just put down. People often compare GoT to the Assassin’s Creed Series, and while it does bear some resemblance (to the earlier releases), it does AC better with its pacing and storytelling. This isn’t a perfect game but it does come close just short of a few points.

    What went right:
    Pacing and storytelling. The game divides the island of Tsushima into 3 parts where you will progressively unlock as you dive deeper into the game, Instead of throwing you into a vast open world, as compared to AC odyssey/ origins. This prevents the game from being too overwhelming and I didn’t felt lost about what to do next at all times. Majority of the side quests aren’t cookie cutter “fetch” quest but “tales” of key NPCs’ backstories. I find this way of “questing” really engaging and makes us fall in love with each of the characters even more, it truly gave me a deep sense of purpose to sidetrack and see how their side story unfolds.

    Gameplay
    Instead of the meaningless & shallow loot gear system in AC, SP made the point for you to stick with the same gear since day 1 and upgrade them as you progress through the game. It was extremely rewarding to see all of my gear fully upgraded and I really felt that Jin was getting stronger, though more like the terminator than a samurai when he was fully decked out. All of the gameplay mechanics aren’t revolutionary, but it was refined and I absolutely loved the lack of an HUD, GPS lines, map markers on your screen because i was truly immersed in 1274 Japan.

    Combat:
    Combat was satisfying, each stab and slash was weighty and you could really feel that impact. You have a wide range of gadgets & weapons at your disposal and no 2 combat scenarios are the same if you truly explore all of Jin’s Arsenal.
    Audio & soundtrack
    I played the game in Japanese voice over, voice acting was superb and the soundtrack was just brilliant. You could really feel Jin’s blade slicing and dicing through the thick armor of the Mongols.
    Graphics
    The graphics was so beautiful SP even gave you a screenshot button on your D-pad to capture stunning images in game. Absolutely stunning visuals even on such old hardware, especially the foliage, grass and scenery. Water physics was a little low end but I understand there are limitations of the PS4.

    Loading time
    Game loads as if I’m using an SSD, but it’s still the same HDD in my PS4 since day 1 5 years ago.
    What could have gone better
    Facial animation at times was abit stiff and using the Jap voice over means that the facial animation will never be in sync (as it was animated to English). Some animations were also abit buggy, it wasn’t game breaking but definitely noticeable. Such as stealth kills, mountain scaling and combat. Sometimes dead enemies will pass through walls.

    The standoff Mechanic is extremely O.P. once you get the hang of it and upgraded it. I felt that it should be an RNG thing instead where sometimes the Mongols would just swarm you instead.
    Enemy AI
    It’s 2020 and still stealth Mechanics in games are so easily exploitable. Enemies see their dead friends, walk around for abit and then act as if nothing happened. I tried not to abuse it because it was really funny and ruined the experience for me.

    Gore option I felt that to truly express the savage killings and brutality between the mongols and Japan in ancient times, there should be an option to toggle dismemberment / gruesome scenes.

    Performance
    I can’t really tell if it’s because my PS4 is 5 years old and aging but I do notice the occasional stutters here and there especially when there’s an epic fight going on.

    Overall
    This is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time and I’ve truly enjoyed my time in GoT. It’s not a perfect game but it does come close. The fact that this was so unexpected from Sucker Punch was what made GoT, for me such a stellar and outstanding game of 2020. They have certainly raised the bar in the open world action genre and I will be waiting patiently for the next big title from SP.    … Expand

    Un gioco che prende le meccaniche da altri titoli ma riesce a farle funzionare bene, combattendo system molto divertente e che richiede un alta concentrazione in alcuni momenti. La storia è abbastanza carina, ma è l'ambientazione a rendere tutto magico, un gioco vecchio ma nuovo , senza alcuna pretesa ma che stupisce. Complimenti a sucker punch, lo sto amando.

    One of the best games ever with great visuals that’s actually a feast for the eye. Very enjoyable gameplay, can’t escape the repetitions Of open word games but at least it’s done in an interesting world. The mapping of some of the extra moves more than it should to be done or at least changed from certain type to another. But the over all experience is great, one of the generation best games

    Never has their been a game where I focused solely on the side missions as much as Gjost of Tsushima. Horizon Zero Dawn would be my closest comparison if I had to choose a game (Not a bad one at that). The color pallet, the combat, the story, everything is more than I expected and SOME. Brilliant game. Will be considered one of the best ps4 games of all time

    The tsushima Ghost combat is incredibly fun and the movement of characters and horses is very fluid, but the game contains a lot of bugs, although I never caught any. The story of the game is not impressive, however I was very pleased with the game and extremely fun the world of it never leaves you feeling empty the game is also full of activities to do and ways to play.

    - Visuals and music are setting the mood here. Hyperbolic romanticisation of the beautiful Japanese landscapes. One scenery may contain multiple seasons: such as spring white sakura petals blended with autumn red and orange fallen leaves. But this is just so much fun to look at, especially with the impressive lighting.
    - Gameplay is interesting, and didn't feel boring at all, it actually made me wanting to take again the controller in my hands and try some new tactics, or to perfect the already existing one's. Wasn't a big fan of the stealth at first, but later on it got more interesting. There are 'flaws' to the so called AI, but these flaws are probably made so that the gameplay wouldn't feel tedious, imho. A lot of people said that this game is assassin's creed in Japan, maybe, but could never finished an ac game before (tried the 1st, 2nd, black flag and the odyssee, but they all were boring, please don't hate me for that) but GoT pulled me totally in (one day I was playing for 14 hours straight, and did't notice that it has already become 4 in the morning)
    - Story is what kept me engaged. The different series of substories made the world look lived in. Especially enjoyed the story of lady Masako. Just wish there was an explanation about the death of Jin's father, wanted to know more of Jin himself. And wished it had branching main story lines in chapter 3 (as there is in Witcher 2 game). I was actually hoping to some extend that the game would let me choose what choice to make at the end of chapter two, but the game made it for myself. Didn't give this game a 10/10 because didn't have that choice. But the story was actually very very interesting, didn't expect that all. I was emotionally moved a couple of times, and had chills running through my spine a couple of times (also during the Masako substory line). Not to complex, interesting, engaging, at times funny and at times really sad (most of times actually sad). But all the characters were quite memorable.
    Now hoping for the next Ghost of OtherJapaneseIsland game :p. There was a second Mongolian attempt to conquer Japan ;). Maybe in some other time period like the Warring States or the Meiji Revolution... Please
    But yeah, go and buy this game. Support games like this. This is a game for the gamer!    … Expand

    It's definitely something you should play for yourself.

I don't expect games based on a historic theme to be 100% correct. I expect them to be fun to play. Heck, we had female soldiers in BFV. All good if that adds to your fun. Technically, the game is not perfect when it comes to some animations (eg looting) but again, I don't care. One thing I really noticed - the incredible fast load times for fast travel. 5 seconds at most for me. Not sure how they did that. After putting in 100+hrs into AC:Odyssey, where fast travel times were not that fast, this is one part of GoT I really loved, from a technical PoV. Cannot recommend this game enough!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is Breathtaking. The story is so well paced and it all wraps up together so well. The game made me build relationships with each of the characters through the side character missions which helped pad out the story and character. There is so much greatness in this game, from the story the combat and oh my god the visuals, this has to be the best looking and stylistic PS4 game to date. SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The ending of the game where you have to fight your uncle was excruciating and the final two choices had me stuck for which felt like hours deciding what fate I should leave him. I regretfully at the time chose To honour my uncles wishes and give him a honourable death, however the emotion in that ending had me choking on my words and in my opinion is the better of the two. The visuals of the game are outstanding with all the particle effects with the fallen leaves let’s you feel fully immersed in this world and is an actual enjoyable open world to adventure with lots of stuff to do. I also found myself just staring off into the distance admiring the visuals and not to forget about that amazing photo mode they have added into the game.
    The combat is a challenging and heart racing experience where the fluidity of the swordplay and different stances and parry moves you can pull off really put me on edge and felt amazing to play. However the camera is a struggle at times where I found myself indoors hoping that the person behind me didn’t attack as I could not see a thing or move my camera fast enough or at a good angle and because there is no lock on, although which I think would of hurt the game, it still made it hard to target the right enemies either way.
    Other than the camera that had me on the ropes 25% of the time this game is an outstanding achievement and I applaud sucker punch and everyone who worked on the game they have done an amazing job and undoubtedly, have created one of my favourite games of all time.

    Thank you to all the devs and everyone involved in making this game. You have made a masterpiece.    … Expand

Reasons I gave it a 9 is cause repetitive missions who’s isn’t a big deal but ehh.. also because the hard difficulty isn’t hard which is probably what they whet going for since you are supposed to be unstoppable but it’s to easy sometimes. But the main thing is that there is no new game + or dlc that are confirmed as of now, the thing is once your done the game since your so op and every thing you earned and all the skills are kind useless so I feel like have a new game plus with a much harder difficulty with more abilities some new missions and armour pieces and such maybe even dual wielding would make me give this game a 10 cause once your done the game TRUST ME YOU WANT SO MUCH MORE.… Expand

I have lost too many standoffs because the opponent was blocked by an object or partially hidden in grass/snow/trees/etc. The other major issue is the length of dialogue. For the first half of the game the cut scenes are mostly quick and to the point which was great. But then it starts to drag on and on in conversations I wanted to just skip.

    O jogo se destaca pela jogabilidade e gráficos incríveis, ele mistura foto realismo com um pouco de estilo artístico nao realistico nas paisagens e arvores/plantas, o que foi legal pois é muito bonito de olhar as paisagens e tirar print.

    Quanto a gameplay, ela me divertiu bem mais do que os últimos AC, achei bem mais desafiadora, apesar de que poucas x morri em baralha e mais em quedas kkk, pq por mais q os inimigos sejam dificeis vc ganha muita vida e determinação (usado para recarregar a vida) muito fácil e rapido, então antes mesmo de entrar na 2 parte do mapa, vc já está OP, ao menos eu q fiz quase tudo antes do final do ato 1.

    A customização do jogo tbem é muito legal, e se sair futuros updates ficara mais ainda!
    Bom, tem muito mais oq se falar, mas preferi resumir nisso, o jogo é muito bom no que se propõe, e dificilmente não vai te entreter.

    Ele só não é um jogo nota 10 justamente por não ser tão complexo/grande nos cenários de confrontos e tbem pq o personagem principal Jin não é tão receptivel igual um Joel...

    Mas se levar só em conta a diversão, o jogo é incrivel e por isso dou nota 9!    … Expand

    Haven't wanted to put it down since I started playing. Combat is rewarding and never gets old. The environments are picture perfect everywhere you go. The story is amazing in structure, style, and content.

    1. Graphics are very nice but what makes it unique is the setting and lightning. You may find the overuse of flowers/sakura petals a bit annoying but thats what they focused on otherwise the world would be barren with nothing interesting to see.
    2. Combat is easy early on since you have just 1 stance, but it becomes a bit interesting after you get other stances as they are needed for specific enemies.
    3. Side activities vary from random encounters saving the people of Tsushima to random missions you get by talking to people. My nit picking with this is that they repeat quite often (i understand the need for content but making them memorable would be better).
    4. Lip syncing is ... bad. I don't know what happened there but from what i see in all the cutscenes, it is just not syncing with what they say (neither in english or japanese). Another nit picking i have to state is that you CANNOT skip cutscenes during your first gameplay (in New Game + i guess you can but cannot say for certain as i have not finished the game).
    5. I have maximum gear (weapons+armor) when i reached Act 2 and it does make the combat very dull since most enemies die very easy (1-2 hits except for big guys) but the setting, blood, samurai vibe and story keeps you going. The main issue i have is the camera that sadly i have to constantly move to make sure that i target the correct enemy but sometimes, when you are surrounded by 5 of them, it's harder than you think to hit the one you mean to. There is NO lock on system so you need to adjust your camera every time you prepare to hit/dodge/parry a specific enemy.
    6. I sometimes feel like the horse animations are a bit weird compared to other games but this is just 1 more small thing i would prefer to be different.
    7. Game has some nice puzzles and it feels a lot like an Assassins Creed game. To be fair, once you get further in the story, you get more and more vibes of Assassins Creed core ideas.
    8. There are a few masks/hats that can be found in the world just be exploring and some look awesome and you can combine them with armors.
    9. The Charm system is also nice and different from "weapons has X stat and buffs X stuff". Armors are a different thing - they added base buffs that can be improved by upgrading the armor. Armors change looks once upgraded.
    10. Resources can be found in most places but some of them are locked behind specific missions which makes me think that i have no option but to upgrade 1 or the other armor. Would've been nice if we could get all materials from random places in the world which would be randomized as soon as you restart the game (that way nobody can know exactly which location to go to in order to get X resource).
    11. I noticed a few screen tearings/white screen for half a second while riding the horse. I also managed to stuck myself in between 2 rocks for a few seconds then my character automatically jumped out of that position and sometimes it just respawned me. These kind of bugs are expected and fun if encountered so i won't hold them down for this. A few patches should fix those small things. No major bugs hindering progress were encountered during my gameplay sessions.

    Overall thoughts about the game:

    It has a wonderful setting with lots of activities that involve combat mostly, samurai stances and assassinations give you vibes of Assassins Creed, interesting story (can't give more info on that as i am barely at Act 2), simple upgrade system and simple resource gathering system.

    Would give this a 9/10 because of the above and would recommend it for any Open World Gameplay enthusiast that also enjoyed one of the following:
    Assassins Creed
    Zelda
    God of War
    Witcher
    Shadow of the Colossus

    Message to developers: Think of what makes a good game and focus on those aspects - Engaging Story with choices or unpredictable plot twist - Good combat with different ways to engage/escape - Good crafting/gathering system to make players willing to grind/find the specific materials - Entertaining puzzles that vary in difficulty (jumping/climbing/platform/mind) - Loads of customization (armors/accessories - more slots = more work for you but more options for the players) - Interesting and unique boss fights that can take you from 1 location to another and reward you with special gear/accessories.

    There are a lot more things that players want but this is - in my opinion - the bare minimum that some desire. Thank you for everything you've done and continue to do in the future :). I appreciate your work and recommend it whenever i get the chance.    … Expand

    This game is a near master piece. With an engaging story, possibly the most amazing visuals I have ever seen in a game and a brilliant soundtrack. The voice acting is best experienced in Japanese. The English VO falls a bit flat in delivery. The only things that prevent this game being perfect are it’s side characters and side quests.

    Ghost of Tsushima era un juego que me llamaba la atención porque lo vi como el AssCreed Japan que Ubisoft nunca se atrevería a hacer. HOWEVER, Unas 50 horas into the game y esto es mejor que todas las épocas exploradas por AC (I ain't saying AC sucks, I'm saying this is better).

HOWEVER, Unas 50 horas into the game y esto es mejor que todas las épocas exploradas por AC (I ain't saying AC sucks, I'm saying this is better).

    Tienes dos opciones para aproximarte al combate. Balls to the wall melee combat que simula perfectamente un duelo de espadas (it's Samurai Shodown levels of Samurai gameplay) y Ghost Tactics (o sea sigilo, veneno y subterfugio). Sin embargo, you can use both.

    El combate es bastante sencillo, you got your light and heavy attack botons con evasión, evades, blocks, deflects y parries además de un par de armas secundarias para complementar (algo así bien Arkham-Asylum-ish). Es bastante realista, solo necesitas un para de sablazos bien dados para tener una muerte asegurada. It takes a lot of skill llevarse grupos de más de 5 enemigos si decides irte de frente y al choque. Por el otro lado, para los ghost tactics también tienes herramientas sencillas. Bombas de humo, ejecuciones a lo AC, Arco y flecha ara hacer silent takedowns a distancia, campanas y fuegos artificiales para desviar a la atención, un grappling hook for some second story work y escabullirte entre partes clave de las construcciones que encuentras en el juego.

    El approach en la historia varía dependiendo de quién acompañe a Jin. Si estas con Ishikawa-sensei o Shimura-sama usualmente vas de frente (I'll provide context for this later) y si estás con Yuna, Ryuzo o Kenji vas a usar ghost tactics más que otra cosa.

    Es en las secciones de mundo abierto del juego donde realmente tomas el approach que te parece mejor. And boy is there a lot to do en la isla Tsushima sin seguir la historia del juego.

    El balance entre el combate y stealth a lo largo de la historia es bueno. Hay una mecánica bastante prittona: los Stand Off, en los que retas a alguien a un duelo de un solo golpe. No puedo enfatizar lo suficiente la importancia de maxear esa sección del skill tree ASAP.

    Una vez dominas la mecánica del Stand Off y la maxeas puedes acabar con escuadrones enemigos completos simplemente batiéndote a duelo con ellos. Ahora vamos con la historia y los personajes.

    El juego toma lugar en la invasión de los Mongoles a Japón en 1247, Jin (nuestro protagonista) es un noble joven de la isla de Tsushima. Al ser huérfano de padre y madre Jin es quién representa a su clan la batalla de la bahía de Komoda, al lado de su tío Lord Shimura, el Jito (gobernador), de la isla de Tsushima. La batalla termina mal, todos los samurais de la isla de Tsushima son exterminados en la batalla de la Bahía de Komoda salvo Jin, que es rescatado por Yuna (una ladrona) y Lord Shimura que es capturado por Khotun Khan el primo de Kublai y neito de Genghis. Khotun aprendió japónes, estudio la política, tradiciones, costumbres y filosofía de los japoneses para entender su idiosincrasia. Dándole entendimiento de las políticas locales y el estado de la población. Toda la preparación de Khotun da como resultado una lucha desigual en la que los mongoles arrollan a los japoneses como una aplanadora. Jin luego de ser rescatado por Yuna empieza a aprender los beneficios de luchar desde las sombras (algo que va en dirección opuesta del Bushido). Sin embargo, ese apego al código de honor samurai es lo que los ha hecho predecibles a la hora de luchar con Khotun. A lo largo de la historia vemos el dilema de Jin en adoptar esta nueva forma de ver la guerra que es considerada deshonrosa por mentes más tradicionalistas. Pero también está la parte de como los mongoles usan rehenes y esclavos para hacer que las tácticas frontales pierdan su efectividad. Y hay varios flashbacks de Jin aprendiendo kenjutsu y bushido en el que se aprecia esa yuxtaposición entre el código de honor y hacer lo necesario. En el apartado visual, puedo decir con toda certeza que este juego es lo más hermoso que he visto en un PS4. Desde la arquitectura de los templos, la configuración de las aldeas, los paisajes naturales, altares y acantilados a lo largo de la isla. Este es un juego que apesar de haber sido inspirado por películas no vende su identidad tratando de ser una película interactiva. La música es buenísima y los efectos de sonido del viento, lluvia, relámpagos, el galope de los caballos y los cortes de la espada son envolventes. Hay un buen par de bugs y glitches en el juego, pero no restan en nada a la experiencia. Mi score personal para Ghost of Tsushima es un 9/10. Y está en el Valhalla de Obras Maestras de esta generación junto a Witcher 3, Red Redemption 2 y Breath of The Wild.    … Expand

I will say the main bad is a little disappointing BUT, his boss fight is extremely fun despite his (spoiler kinda) lack of on screen presence. The skill tree is extremely fun to progress down, I never felt like I NEEDED a certain skill to help me progress, I just chose the ones that looked the coolest and went from there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the game! It wasn't super inventive, but games don't always need to be. It did what it needed to tell a story with characters that you could get invested in. Loved the open world and following the wind to get around. I especially liked writing Haikus and the short meditations in the hot springs. Those small moments reminded me that its okay to mentally relax every once in a while and that was very nice and peaceful. It was also really pretty. I never use photo mode, but I kept using it in this game. I'd spend maybe around 30-45 minutes at a time playing around with the settings and getting a shot and it's coloring just right. And sometimes I'd just jump in to capture a fun cool moment. I don't regret a second using that photo mode.

    The story was an okay revenge plot, but with interesting characters and spectacular moments that really made me feel like a badass Samurai. The way the story is structured, the small dialogue choices and how reflective cut scenes would trigger when I did something against the Samurai code made me feel like I had decided Jin's story arc instead of it being a scripted arc. Even though it was scripted.

    I liked a lot of the side quests. However, some of them felt a little wooden and repetitive. With some better actors and writing in those side quests I would have enjoyed seeking them out instead of using them as a way to grind to make my character better. The main side stories were great, but it was the nameless people that you would help that I had trouble with.

    There were some glitches in the game. I would get stuck if I jumped into the wrong object and I couldn't climb up or land on objects like certain rocks, wagons, and animals that I should have been able to stand on. Those were minor issues though.

    I liked the use of music in the game and how Jin can play some.    … Expand

The main missions are very emotional at times, but can get repetitive, but they definitely change the tone of the story as you go along. The side missions can get repetitive and boring at times but they have a variety of different types of side missions. My favorite is when you get to do side missions focused on supporting characters that help you in your journey. It adds a lot of depth and character development to the side characters. My second favorite type of side missions are mythic quests. There multi part quests there give you special abilities are special armor. It really helps round out the world and give it a cool mythical spin.The combat is challenging but as you unlock skills and get better fighting gets easier. Another great feature is how little non mission side stuff in the world gives you real life bonuses like increases in health and other perks, as well as cosmetic extras that you can use. These perks are significant enough to make you want to explore the whole world and find all these different cool items and perks. They are not just mindless gathering locations where you get a little bit of gold and some items. The progression system of obtaining perk points and the different abilities and you receive are well done and they don't make you grind incessantly to get these perk points. They present you with more than enough side quests and random occurrences to get all the perks mid way through the game.The crafting system is very simplistic so if you want a game with a great, in depth crafting system with dozens of different ingredients you should go elsewhere. To be completely honest I could only find a few things that I did not like about this game. In the first act the main character is very boring and stiff but as his character develops in Acts 2 & 3 with the main story quests he starts to develop into a more complex and compelling character. The stealth is definitely a little off. The AI isn't that smart and you can easily run circles around them with the right armor and perks. Also the controls can be a little unintuitive especially when you have to switch between different weapons and abilities in the heat of battle. After a while you do get used to it. Thirdly, I notice small glitches especially in the open world with random. Sometimes there are spawning issues and odd occurrences but nothing game breaking. For example I notice sometimes they were spawning issues when i tried to take over a location. I would come in and there would be no enemies and they would mysteriously pop up out of nowhere. But do note this has only happens a few times. Finally, the camera angles aren't the best. Especially during combat you have to fight the camera to center it, but you get used to it and it becomes a non issue. All in all this game is very good with some minor issues. Definitely get it.… Expand

    Visuals-
    The visual aspects to this game are mind-blowing to say the least. Just from taking a few minutes to tread through the Silver Grass fields or walk through the Golden Forest and stumble upon the Golden Temple and you can see what I mean. Colors pop in these environments beautifully like with what you see in very few titles (Horizon, God of War, or even Red Dead Redemption 2). The    Visuals-
    The visual aspects to this game are mind-blowing to say the least. Just from taking a few minutes to tread through the Silver Grass fields or walk through the Golden Forest and stumble upon the Golden Temple and you can see what I mean. Colors pop in these environments beautifully like with what you see in very few titles (Horizon, God of War, or even Red Dead Redemption 2). The environment moves and reacts with not just the wind but with your every movement, making every action and reaction between character and environment feel fluid and realistic. Character design and animation is near flawless, focusing on authenticity, which titles like Sekiro or the Nioh games took liberties with. Even lighting plays a key role, adding a sense of cinematic quality to your gameplay.

    Audio-
    With multiple audio modes to choose from for different set ups, there's no wrong way to listen to the world and music in this game (my personal favorite is the 3D Headphones mode since it helps with enemy location, off screen, in combat). The wind blowing through the tall grass and trees. The sound of leaves flying through the air. Birds chirping. Battles in the distance and even the cries of a villager at an occupied settlement on the other side of the hill. All of these sounds I mentioned are expertly overlayed with this game and when mixed with the game soundtrack or with your character's flute, it sets the tone I haven't felt with almost every game, with few exceptions.

    Gameplay-
    Fast, strategic, and brutal, the combat is well developed and diverse. With varying enemies, tools, and options at honorable or dishonorable combat, the choice is yours to make on how to get rid of the invading Mongol forces. However, combat isn't the only important thing to the gameplay, as the traversal of the island and gathering of needed supplies adds a rich layer of activities to do on top of rescuing villagers. Write a haiku, rest in a hot spring, honor a shrine, listen to a musician's tale or even gather flowers to make dyes for color customization, there is much for you to do in this game.

    UI-
    No compass? No waypoint? No problem. With the guiding winds mechanic, you can call upon the wind the point you in the direction of your destination. This adds to the depth of immersion, allowing you to discover the world your own way and not on a predestined path given for you to blindly follow. Not only that, but foxes and even songbirds can lead you to new locations, which only makes the game feel even more alive. With that said, I have had funky camera moments in tight spaces, during combat and the fighting can be a little off with the lack of a lock-on system so there are some things Sucker Punch can work on in an update or two.
    Story-
    The strength in the story, surprisingly comes from the development of the world as well as the antagonist and side characters, despite how simple yet well rounded the main character is. The antagonist and protagonist in this game makes a perfect villain/hero clash and it helps with the future development and familiar internal conflict of the main character.

    Overall-
    Ghost of Tsushima is a fresh step in a familiar direction, emphasizing that you don't need to focus on just one thing to make a game amazing. With the exception of the camera and the less than perfect combat moments that I'm sure will be fixed with an update or two, this game is a great example on how to start the transition to the next generation of gaming. 8.9-9/10 is my final verdict and I can't wait to see what Sucker Punch does next!    … Expand

I do feel that the patch would have to give us a lock on system instead of dumbing down the ai. Also the final battle at the ship is trash now because dumb AI will wait for you to make a move on the part of the plot and story, I did related, enjoyed and even went through the pain of some npc's. I am waiting for anything that this game want to bring, DLC, GOT2, As long as they forget progressive bs and stick to games… Expand

    A stunning work of art with emotionally charged performances from the cast and immaculate combat, plus a gorgeous score to boot. Artistic license has been taken, but it makes for a cinematic experience unlike any other game I've played.

    Added to that there is the hugely generous customization options so you can personalise your time with the game beautifully. A worthy cap of the Ps4 era.

    Game of the year so far! The story is very interesting and the side quests are great too and sometimes it makes me wonder why some of them aren’t main story missions because they’re so detailed and fun to play through.

Combat is fantastic until the camera angle interferes but it doesn’t happen too often. Sometimes the difficulty can spike randomly and I was able to retry the area if I died and beat it with different methods of approach, but that could also be fixed by just grinding out the mongol camps and side missions and you should be able to blast through it with no issues. Some of the cutscenes and lip syncing to the dialogue can be a little wonky but that’s a nitpick honestly. And honestly most of these are nitpicks because the rest is so great I was able to look over all of that. So I wouldn’t say it’s perfect but it’s pretty close.… Expand

I've only been playing for about a week as for the little things there's so many things that could be changed like when walking up stairs it's like he's just walking on a flat surface...when the factor comes to "hunting" like they could've gave us more animals to choose from but to wrap things up the adventure and amount of battles and many people to fight and upstage like they did great on that part and great story mode loved it! Wish customizing could've been more details but it was super great! Thank you for everything SUCKER PUNCH LOVED THIS GAME!… Expand

    Great game that’s has a beautiful opening! I loved almost every second of this beautiful and lush game. Even though the stealth gameplay is very average, the samurai gameplay is satisfying. The story while not very interesting, the side characters have some astonishing traits that kept me playing the game. Can’t wait to see what this studio comes out with next.

The best way I can describe this game is that it is historically accurate, it feels like assassins creed should’ve felt without all the isu stupidity. It is not on the other hand physically accurate, much like assassins creed odyssey your character tends to feel like a Demi god in their destructiveness. But this game really hits you hard with the story, I personally played the game in Japanese with English subtitles and was way more impressed than with the English dub, but the lip sync for the Japanese dub is awful.… Expand

    Stunning visuals and polished combat! Very easy to get distracted side questing too. Only problem I have is with the camera, which can be tedious to use. Also, the 1v1 duels don't have a great amount of variety in their fighting styles, lots of the same moves are reused.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I just played through the game and this is why I gave it a 9/10:

    The game does a great job at making me feel like a samurai in a beautiful Japanese setting with lots and lots of honour. The graphics are great. You can see clearly how they didn’t bother to add some irrelevant details to textures but instead rather put their work in the important parts, which make the game look the breathtaking way it does at many points.
    Fast travel is just as I always wished a fast travel feature would like be, and dying in a chaotic fight isn’t quite as frustrating, when the game manages to reload the map in 2 seconds.
    The gameplay is hella fun, you unlock different stances during the game and unlock new techniques frequently, which enhance the gameplay rapidly. I really loved the mechanics.

    Now for the camera. I must say, the camera is no problem at all. I really don’t understand any ist complaining about it. Maybe you just aren’t used to it, but it really does not do all the weird stuff other people complain it would. Choosing the right enemy to attack is not broken nor buggy either. I always attacked the person I intended to attack and it never did anything on its own. Just get used to it lol, don’t cry about it when you’re the problem.

    The only negative aspect on this game for me is the lack of emotion. It’s kinda stupid when you know that your allies can’t die off because of they did you couldn’t do their side quests. It always felt save doing the main quests, knowing that none of them would end in a death scene of one of the allies. The moment Taka said he wants to be a warrior I knew he’d die soon, but his death wasn’t that tragic, the only thing I was afraid of was Yuna being mad at me. There were no really emotional scenes in the game. The ending scene with the uncle crying had me confused, because I didn’t really understand what the game tried to make me feel, since Jim seemed not to bother at all about. The only moment that had me kinda sad was when my horse died. I really liked the pick your horse and name it part. RIP Sora, 31st July 2020.

    The story felt pretty generic, but well this isn’t some fantasy game. They tried to make a game about the history of japan and its samurais, and they did a brilliant job in my opinion.

    Conclusion:

    Pros:
    + gameplay
    + graphics + setting
    + foxes
    + camera tbh, I liked it
    + pretty much everything about the game, except for

    The story has a lot of interesting characters and the pacing of their various issues is well done. The game play is pretty tight, though sometimes it gets ganky and you attack nothing or you have a stand off and the camera puts a giant tree branch just so to fill the entire screen. This is rare and often recoverable, but it's a thing that happens.

    The writing is pretty solid and so is the voice acting. The graphics is one of the best of all time and the music is really good as well. The combat is satisfying whilst the stealth is way too easy as the enemy ai is dumb as. The exploration is very serene and the locations you find never get old until the very end. Overall this game is great with nothing except the camera falling below average.

EvenMy first ever game I cared to actually get a platinum trophy and post a review on Metacritic. I also got all the artifacts, records and banners, etc, to prove I played game thoroughly. Honestly this is one of the best games I have ever played. The combat is really fun and the story is engaging. The world is beautiful and Sucker Punch really captured the mysticism of Feudal Japan. Even though the fast travel was "fast," I found myself just traveling everywhere I needed to go. Everywhere I went was just an amazing vista, and I felt that this whole world was hand crafted with love and care. I found hours of my time melted away just playing this game living in it's world.

    The combat at first will take some getting used to, but as you progress the story you really get to feel that the combat evolves to how you want to play. I never felt locked down to the Ghost or the Samurai play style. Sucker Punch gave me the choice on how I wanted to play the game, and made all my battle encounters exciting.

    The story at face value is cliche, but the way the narrative progresses you see lots of little nuances that just keeps you captivated all the way to that powerful ending. The characters are so well written and really memorable. The pacing I felt was centered around player agency and I really enjoyed that you can experience Jin's transformation alongside him. It really felt like I played the game and was part of the story and not the other way around. Heck there were some moments in the game that had more emotional weight compared to the entirety of other "Story" driven games.

    A few cons of the game, is that the camera can be a little janky at times. It can get caught in the environment blocking your view. Enemy AI still needs some tuning for more immersion. I really wish some of them just didn't stand there or did not react when they say a fallen friend. I know the lethal mode was just released, but it just feels like the enemies hit harder and not smarter. I really didn't experience any bugs in my play sessions so I can't complain about that. Another small nit pick would be that the NPC models do get repeated a lot and that you do rescue a lot of the same characters on the road.

    The game is fun, really fun. I want to give it a 9.5 but Metal Critic won't allow it. Your doing yourself a disservice if you don't go out and play this experience. Regardless if the game did anything new or not Sucker Punch stuck to core values and made the game fun. I will be anxiously waiting for a N+ mode to play this game a second time. GOTY in my eyes, go play it!    … 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.
