    Buenas, MI OPINIÓN del juego , no es una critica en si
    Empiezo por decir que este me parece una maravilla de juego , no hay un momento del juego que se haga pesado o repetitivo, las mecánicas son divertidas, la dificultad es la exacta , dependiendo de que tipo de aventura o reto estés buscando, la historia me parece una genialidad , aparte de que tengo una debilidad por esa cultura y mas    Buenas, MI OPINIÓN del juego , no es una critica en si

    Uma boa narrativa e personagens, com uma ótima trilha sonora. Mundo aberto lindo com missões secundárias muito boas. Combate satisfatório e um excelente sistema de progressão. Tem alguns pequenos bugs, principalmente gráficos, mas nada que atrapalhe a experiência em um dos melhores jogos de mundo aberto da geração.

    A real masterpiece ..! The game is outstanding in terms of both the gameplay and the technical implementation! It is a feast for the eyes! The only point of criticism for me is the replayability. If you play the story 100% and get the platinum trophy, the game has next to no replay value. That is a shame and could have been solved better. Otherwise great game!

    What stands out is the combat gameplay and the colour palette of the visuals, would have been a 10 if the writing was living up to the expectations of the latter two

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima was easily the best breath of fresh air into gaming in the year 2020.

    From sucker Punch Productions, who we all expected to continue the Infamous series, we actually got what is easily the best Samurai game ever made to date. We've all seen plenty of other Samurai games in the past, or even Samurai like games. I'm sure many would say Tenchu, a game series which was pretty good back in its day, as well as there are many who have a love for The Way of the Samurai games, myself included, even if they are a series of games which are rather rough around the edges, they have a charm to them which keeps fans loyal.

    Ghost of Tsushima is that game which listened to everything that gamers wanted and just delivered it. It is by no means a perfect game, but you can certainly expect a lot. From the first teaser trailer we saw a few years back, we all had an idea of what it would be, but we never expected it to be as well done as it is. From the story, to the combat to the open world exploration and the visuals, there's something to love here.

    Key things to note are open world and exploration here. Ghost of Tsushima is not a game one can easily rush through. I am sure it is possible and we likely have speed runners achieving quick play through times already, but it is a game that is meant to be taken time with and fully enjoyed as much as possible. There's plenty to see and plenty to discover, and almost every bit of the island of Tsushima will have something to offer in the way of a reward for you exploring it, from a new cosmetic, a new secret or just a breath taking view.

    The games visuals are gorgeous. Not the greatest of the generation, that achievement belongs to The Last of Us II, but this game still has an incredibly beautiful world brought to life by the talent of Sucker Punch. To change directions so strongly, going from modern day cities in Infamous to a very historically accurate world of feudal Japan, they've more than knocked the ball out of the park with how it works and everything else to do with giving the game its gorgeous visual style. From the way plants, grass and tress blow in the wind to how blood splatters from your defeated enemies in combat, everything is something impressive to see.

    Even in game controls are somewhat linked to how the games visuals play out. Instead of a compass, a mini-map or a line to follow on the ground, you have what the game calls the "guiding wind" which with a brush of the touch pad on the PS Controller, you can summon a wind that will blow and show you the direction of your targeted location. To describe it in word doesn't do it real justice, so I'd advise either checking out a game play video or playing the game yourself. But the feature works so well to keep you in the game world without breaking immersion while navigating.

    The story of the game is where it honestly does hold a lot of strength. While it's certainly not the best story I've played in games in recent years, that achievement goes to Red Dead Redemption II for me personally, it's story is very meaningful and worth every moment from the start to the end. The impact from the intro, which is one of the best intros in games I've seen in a long while, possibly even ever, to the very end of it, you get moments which will tug at all emotions Such as a dramatic scene being the intro, where you ride in on horse back straight into battle, fighting Mongolian warriors, to the humour of various moments from certain side missions and the comic relief character of Kenji, the alcoholic trader, to the heart tugging moments of when Jin Sakai first breaks his code of the Samurai and takes a life without honour, to when he faces against his former best friend and brother-in-arms, Ryuzo the Ronin, to the sad tale of Yuriko, the woman who looked after young Jin after his mother and father passed.

    The combat is by far the best feature of the whole game. Every move and strike feels realistic and the combat is tactical. Requiring careful decisions and strikes as well as quick reaction times. I could not do it full justice, but it's certainly impressive as Masters of Japanese combat styles have been shown videos (which you can find on YouTube) of the combat styles and have said they're very accurate, well done and impressive. You have four types of enemies, sword users, long arm users, quick attackers and brutes, but each group has it's own sub-types as well. Honestly, you need to play the game to truly get the best experience of the combat. It never gets old.

    The only downside to the game is that some things can be repetitive, which is what holds it back from a 10/10 rating.

    The inclusion of Multiplayer and tons of new content for free boosted the score 8 to 9, as it made playing through the game on new game plus worth while plus Sucker Punch didn't ask for a single penny for it. Plus the legends mode is just so good with friends.

    9/10 score.    … Expand

The storyline was phenomenal and to my knowledge and understanding (as I did have to look up some stuff to get a better grasp of it) much of it was historically accurate. The storyline is set in 1274, during the first Mongol invasion in Japan and follows a young samurai, Jin Sakai who is the nephew and raised by a leader to a clan of samurai. He was saved by a common thief, Yuna after the first attack of the mongols. Realizing that the traditional ways of samurai won’t defeat the mongol invaders he resorts to practicing what wold be considered dishonourable methods taught by Yuna, such as assassinating and sneaking around enemy areas in hopes to drive the mongols out of Tsushima.
    The character development was AMAZING and all the characters except for the mongol invaders (obviously) was likeable. Even Jin’s uncle, Lord Shimura was likeable despite how much he had a strong distaste to Jin being so dishonourable in his eyes. To me I couldn’t help but like the uncle and respect the fact that he was so strong to his beliefs. And it was interesting to watch Jin start off as a stoic samurai who was very strict on following traditions slowly turn into a 110% bad ass who conveys and acts on his emotions and deliberately not follow tradition whilst remaining humble and maintaining his strong moral compass.
    The cinema and design in this game was so beautiful and realistic in my opinion. It was extremely captivating and only drew me more onto the game and story.
    As for game play, there is very little I didn’t like about the game. The game is similar to Assassins Creed without trying to be like that game. It has quite the handful of unique side activities and features such as bamboo strikes to earn more resolve, hot springs to max your health bar, haikus, honouring shrines, quests inspired by Japanese folklore that lets you obtain armour and new abilities, and the option to play the game in Japanese or English with or without subtitles. However, there are a few things I think they could’ve added to the game, like icons for where shops to upgrade your stuff are. All what was there was a town/farm/temple icon and you would pretty much have to navigate around there until you find what you need. They also could’ve added a mini map at the bottom corner or at the top to help you find stuff, instead of relying on the wind to help you find stuff, as there were more than a few times that I was going the opposite direction from where I needed to be. Overall, I thought the game was fantastic and most likely could play over and over and not get bored.    … Expand

    Es el mundo mas jodidamente precioso que haya visto nunca en un videojuego. Dicho esto, el juego me ha gustado muchísimo en todos sus apartados. El combate, siendo bastante simplón, es muy divertido y durante la historia va avanzando y metiendo nuevas dinámicas poco a poco, y es muy gratificante.

The music is divine, with my favorite being "The way of the ghost". Lots of customization options for your armor, katana, and saddle. This is my first review so it is kind of all over the place, so sorry for that. Anyways the game is near perfection, and I highly recommend it.… Expand

It knows what it is, what story it's trying to tell, what vibe it's trying to establish, and it executes those things fantastically.

    When I heard of Ghost of Tsushima, I wasn't really interested that much. Then I heard it was made by Suckerpunch and that pricked my ears up a bit. I loved the Infamous games, but this one seemed a bit different. Then I got this game as an unexpected present for my birthday and I'm incredibly happy that I did.

    After finishing it, I'm left with many enjoyable memories. To be honest, when I first started playing it, I was a little underwhelmed. I wasn't hooked immediately and I felt a few graphical decisions and things such as map layout were clunky. They also played sound through the PS4 controller, which sounded pretty bad. But these were very short term downsides.

    The more I played Ghost, the more I liked it. The world, gameplay and story really built on itself the deeper into the game I got.

    GAMEPLAY:
    The shining star of the game. You really feel like a samurai on an epic quest. A well measured drip-feed of new mechanics keep the game fresh and right when a mechanic is starting to feel old or overused, the game moves on or the mechanic is renewed in some way.

    PERFORMANCE:
    Never had any issues with lag, crashes or anything of that sort. I have no memory of load screens going too long or anything. Performance was great.

    STORY:
    Both the main story and the side quests were well told through the characters which are kept elegant. You're not swamped with 10 million unique characters you can't remember and ever quest feels a bit personal to the character too.

    GRAPHICS:
    Again, Suckerpunch knew what this game was and built it accordingly. The aesthetic of the game brings out great beauty while hiding some poor graphics. You don't get high-res zoom ups of peoples faces every single cutscene like some games try for, but this game doesn't need it. The world of Tsushima is beautiful and feels diverse and vibrant.

    CONCLUSION:
    Sucker punch of honed their skills since the Infamous games. Ghost of Tushima, while not perfect, really reaches for perfection and gets very close. Every time I put down to controller for the day after playing Ghost, I just wanted to sit by a river and write Haiku.    … Expand

"Who can play this without the camera being centered?" Are you seriously going to base 6 years of work off of "The camera." There have been and will be many AMAZING games without the camera being centered. And nothing angers me more then those comparing this to assassin's Creed. Cause it most definitely isn't. It may have similarities but what game doesn't anymore? Assassin's Creed wasn't the first for anything. It was just the most popular.

    Onto the proper review now.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a massive open world game based on a real Japanese island. The story is intriguing but I found it could be buried in the countless hours of other things to do. Which wasn't entirely a bad thing. My largest issue is particularly the movement system in some situations, crawling through certain gaps requires the camera to be moved strangely and the parkour isn't extremely responsive or accurate. The swordplay is well done and the use of "Ghost weapons" compliment the combat system. The ranged weapons are simple and effective. No complaints there. The stealth combat is highly effective. I personally recommend playing on the "Hard" difficulty with expert HUD for a more immersive experience. The landscape and visuals to this game are quite pleasing to the eyes. Very colorful but also can be gloomy when need be. One thing I must compliment any game on is the lack of microtransactions. Nothing in game is purchasable there is no unfair advantage in co-op and no way to get ahead in this game early on. Without spoiling the story I can assure you it's quite interesting but if you like it will be down to you. None the less it's an extremely fun game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. GRAPHICS – 10/10 // The first thing you always notice about a game are its looks, and this game’s graphics are incredibly appealing. Sometimes I would just get lost in the world just riding around and seeing what the game had to offer to the eye. If graphics are the first things you look at for a game, this one will not leave you disappointed. From the open landscapes, the calm waters, right down to the leaves on the tree, the game is an artful masterpiece. I am excited to see this game ported to the PS5 and see what graphical improvements can be made to an already gorgeous looking game.

    MAIN STORY – 9/10 // If you want a decent story, this game is pretty much as good as any other revenge tale in gaming. You start the journey of Jin Sakai’s path to becoming the Ghost on the grounds of a losing battle against the Mongol Army, who seemingly take over Tsushima easily with their massive army that heavily outnumbers the Samurai. You meet several characters throughout the game that join your cause and question your methods as you stray away from some of the “battle with honor” teachings of the Samurai and adopt a quieter, ninja-like style of warfare. As Jin continues his path to becoming the Ghost, several flashbacks to his childhood provide some details to his motivations for fighting in this hybrid of stealth and samurai. Throughout his story, Jin is accompanied by several characters with their own stories, some already known by Jin, and some new faces in his army. Each of the main characters have their own side story that detail some of the actions and reactions they had during and after the Mongol invasion, which provide an extra level of depth to core group fighting by Jin’s side.

    GAMEPLAY MECHANICS – 10/10 // I personally love games that have a balance of action and stealth, and this game merges those two mechanics in a great way. Nothing gives me a greater satisfaction than being able to walk into a base and complete each quest without being detected. But as in many games, there are several ways to tackle each Mongol-controlled area that you come upon. The one-hit-kill standoff provides you a good start if you prefer the run-and-gun style of gameplay, and the samurai stances that you learn as you level up provide a manageable way to brute force your way through the different territories under Mongol control. As you level up, you will gradually get different samurai stances that let you take out different types of enemies in an easier fashion, and changing stances as you counter enemies with shields, swords, and spears is a refreshing mechanic to a sword fighting game that made the gameplay that much more enjoyable. Plus, it is always nice to be able to get strong enough to not get destroyed by the brute enemy in every fight.

    EXTRAS – 8/10 // For me, if a game is going to have a lot of side quests and collectibles in the game, it is important to not overdo any of the extras to the point that it becomes too grindy and boring to grab everything. For the sake of this review, I’ve left the main character side stories out of this part of the review. Overall, the side quests and collectibles in the game are decent. Some of them can get a bit grindy (like the Fox Dens and Haikus), but for the most part, the quests provide extra gameplay that is fun and engaging for the player to do, plus rewarding with many of them providing upgrades and items to help the player progress easier in the game. Most importantly (for me at least), side quests are not a requirement for progressing the main story, like how in Assassin’s Creed Origin/Odyssey, you there are level requirements for each story mission, forcing you to do meaningless side quests to gain XP to move the story forward. In this game, you could complete the entire story without touching any of the extras in the game (highly do not recommend since, again, the extras of the game are decent). Also, the redeeming quality of chasing the many foxes around the map is at the end of the chase, you can pet the fox!

    OVERALL – 9.3/10 // Overall, while not perfect, this game is definitely one of the games of the year, and Sucker Punch definitely deserves to have their name thrown in the hat for potentially one of the better games to grace the PS4’s life cycle.    … Expand

    Fantastic! I initially bounced off of this game because I was trying to rush through it. I had the same experience with The Witcher 3 and Assassin's Cred: Odyssey. These types of games are meant to be long and involved and the most satisfying way to play them is to find all the little items and side mission along the way.

    The best part of the game is easily the visuals and environments.    Fantastic! I initially bounced off of this game because I was trying to rush through it.

    The best part of the game is easily the visuals and environments. The guiding wind mechanic instead of the compass fits so perfectly with this. From falling leaves to moving grass, the world definitely feels realistic. I wound up hunting down all the collectibles just to see more of it.

    The story seemed to start a bit slow, but before I knew it I was hunting down five ronin assassins to duel underneath a waterfall. So it does get quite epic and I did get invested in the side characters along with Jin himself.

    This really does feel like an Assassin's creed game without the modern day BS, which is a great thing. The stealth is very well done and the combat feels very measured and well paced, even in the boss fights. I did have so many abilities by the end that I forgot to use most of them, but that's usually a good thing.

    Highly recommended for sure! Stick with it and you will not be disappointed.    … Expand

    9. Graphics
    10. Sound and music
    11. TBH Khotun Khan to an extent was generous with Jin and Lord Shimura
    12. Immersive gameplay
    13. Good to have weapon, character, and costume Customisations and also how you could switch between costumes at any time.

    what I didn’t like :

    1. Travelling becomes boring after a while, though the locations are stunning.
    Especially if you want to upgrade fully first. You gotta go through repetition of tasks and enemies and can't fast travel unless you explore them first. Maybe i felt that way because it was horse riding.

    2. Enemies are sometimes kinda dumb. Try it for yourself in all difficulty modes. It’s funny how in few scenarios you don’t get spotted at all .
    They don’t notice me when I’m just above them standing on huts or any elevated surface.
    Stealth could have been better, I get it that the enemies can’t see me when I’m just right above them few feet away in their field of view and I’m complaining about stealth but what I mean is being little more realistic. It was really funny when they were facing me and I was actually clearly visible when I was standing on a hut. But they can’t see me because I’m J(i)hn Cena.

    3. Assisted aim is sometimes annoying when you want to kill a specific enemy like archers first and there’s some dude right beside him or slightly closer to you.
    Locks on to the other guy instead.

    4. Enemy Ai could’ve been improved because there were times when I killed someone in their field of view close by and they didn’t care .

    5. There are only 5 types of enemies since the beginning
    It would’ve been better if they introduced them one by one through progression of story. (Correct me if I’m wrong because I upgraded first before diving completely into main missions, may be that is why I faced them early or maybe not.)

    6. Cutscenes every time I rescue a villager. OMG!

    7. I wish rage mode was as quick as in the legend mode. It felt a tad bit slow but balanced it with one shot kill. But not enough as you can't kill many, just a handful only if they are close.

    8. Few glitches here and there kinda bothered me when Jin’s shoulder armour plates and his bow were getting merged or sometimes going through his helmet and costume.
    Just nitpicking here. But just saying.

    These were just my observations. All these small things aside the game is really good, people who haven't played, be it good or mixed reviews, just get it and play .

Per quanto riguarda il combat system mi è piaciuto molto lo stile con le relative stance da cambiare in base alla tipologia dei nemici. Avrei preferito un lock sul target visto che a volte si fa fatica a targhettarlo o perderlo dalla visuale per via della telecamera. La narrativa scorre in maniera lineare con vari colpi di scena e la possibilità di avere 2 finali distinti. Le quest secondarie sono interessanti da portare a a termine perché vanno ad approfondire il background dei vari npc. Mentre le storie riguardanti le leggende sono quelle che mi sono piaciute di più avrei gradito che c'è ne fossero altre. In conclusione ho grandi aspettative per Agosto per quanto riguarda la versione director cut, dove vedremo se alla fine il team di Sucker Punch alzerà l'asticella sul valore di questa opera e andrà a migliorare quelle cose che al lancio non erano disponibili.    … Expand

    TL;DR This game is rough around the edges with its story and bloated world but the combat, art design and music make this game special.

    I wish i liked this game more. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of quality to be found here and i think this game deserves a lot of the praise it gets but i can't help but feel like it didn't quite match the mountain of expectations i had for it.

    As far as the art design is concerned, it is gorgeous. Perhaps the most beautiful AAA open world game i have ever experienced and one of the best looking games period. The environments are so vibrant, so full of colour and so full of movement/life. It is so nice to often take a moment to just walk the horse through it and take in the atmosphere because they really did nail the look of this game. One thing about the graphics that i can't however praise is the facial animations. I have been spoiled lately when it comes to the quality of facial animations and this game just doesn't do them well enough. There are plenty of close-ups and i can never truly decipher character emotions looking at their facial expressions because the tech is not good enough. Otherwise, i like the way the game looks. I like the very minimal HUD, the use of wind for guidance and the emphasis on looking around to get by without relying on the map.

    Unfortunately, i wasn't a big fan of the open world. It was immensely beautiful but i'd argue it was too large and the activities meant to fill it were both too repetitive and too inconsistent in quality. I think there were too many side quests and a lot them kinda just blended together in my mind. Some were great but i think their writing generally wasn't memorable. I just never got the feeling that my encounters with NPCs was ever unique or special. By the time i had finished the main story, there were still plenty of side quests i hadn't finished or even touched. A lot of the other side content was lacklustre too apart from the Bamboo Strikes which i actively looked for at every oppurtunity.

    The story was good enough. It deals with a lot of interesting and relatable topics but it's never anything you haven't seen in some capacity elsewhere. I will admit, it does have some excellent moments; one in particular culminating in my favourite fight of the game but i think the excellence of this story shines through too seldomly. The characters are mostly quite likeable with one being a clear standout. Head and shoulders above the rest.

    But what this game really does well and what kept me playing was its gameplay. It's so good. Basically, it makes you feel dangerous and often, when the music is on full blast, it makes you feel heroic. It taps into that Samurai power fantasy so well and when playing it on Hard or Lethal difficulty, keeping up with the pace the game sets that difficulty, well, there's nothing else like it. And my word, the one on one duels in this game! Some of them are truly incredible. It is annoying how enemies on Lethal difficulty can one shot you in a duel but i think its worth it for the sheer pace and the frantic feeling of a back and forth dance of steel between deadly blades. It's a very good thing that Sucker Punch decided to make the duels replayable. I never played much of the stealth because the combat was so good.

    Edit: Most of this review was written on 6 March but since I’ve had more time, I thought I’d add some more thoughts on this. I like it more than I thought I did when I wrote this review. I didn’t mention it earlier but one of the missions in this game actually made me geek out in a way I haven’t done in years. I’m talking an all time great gaming moment and I think the soundtrack is incredibly underrated. The soundtrack, particularly the battle theme, supplements the combat and helps create that feeling of invincibility. I actually love this game.    … Expand

The story explores the concept of “Honor” something very important to Japanese society and culture. It explores Jin Sakai’s struggle to try and balance honor and duty and his realization that honor is not one-sided, and it explores it well.

They were definitely fine and did not take away from the game, but they did not push the story to the next level like the characters in TLOU2, Uncharted 4, or God of War did.… Expand

    Finish the main story of the game and completed everything but the DLC. I did enjoy the games but it does have problems. No need to go into details but will recommend the game to anyone that loves action adventure games.

    Probabilmente il miglior open world stile Ubisoft sul mercato. Hanno preso tutti i lati positivi, li hanno messi insieme, e hanno migliorato tutto e risolto molti problemi. A dir poco fantastico anche a livello artistico e molto buono a livello tecnico. A mio avviso, uno dei sistemi di combattimento migliore sul mercato

    Mais um jogo lindo e muito divertido. Espero que a continuação supere este em IA dos inimigos, Qualidade das texturas e mais opções de exploração

    Ghost of Tsushima es uno de los mejores juegos de la década, su increíble arte y originalidad lo separa de muchos videojuegos del mismo genero. El gameplay es fabuloso y es un juego tremendamente disfrutable. La única pega que tengo es el online, (que podría ser mucho mejor) y las misiones secundarias, que me parecen poco trabajadas en general

    I’m convinced people have absolutely no idea what makes a game good. As time goes on, younger generations don’t appreciate anything. If they can’t watch a 20-hour cutscene and they have to actually think at all, then they hate the game. Anyone comparing this to Assassin’s Creed should have their head examined and their mouth slapped.

    Ghost of Tsushima should have a 93 Metacritic, not an 83. It’s a beautiful game with a compelling story, good characters, responsive combat, great character development and an beautiful world to traverse. It is set in the 13th century, so I’m not sure what people think they will find in the world. And as long as we are trying to say the world and locations in this game are boring, then I can say the same thing about Elden Ring. I’m literally dumbfounded at the 83 Metacritic. I’m not, however, surprised at the low user scores. Afterall, people are idiots…    … Expand

The only bad thing about this game is that the missions/side quests like Haikus, Cutting Bamboo, Mongol Territories, Sashimono banners, Inari Shrines and Duels are repetitive which makes it feel a bit boring. But it is a very good game. I think this game is not made for everyone, I only recommend this game if you like games set in feudal Japan, in the bloody days of the samurai, or recommended if you like RPGs like Assassin's Creed or The Witcher. For a new IP, I think Sucker Punch Productions did a great job. My personal rating: 9.1/10… Expand

    This game is the complete package. I played PS4 version on PS5.
    The combat is extremely tight and responsive with enough variety and options to play to the style that you prefer. You can go and take on entire gangs or you can be strategic and use throwables to isolate and take down. You feel like an absolute badass by the later stages of the game.

    Graphically the game is beautiful and quite varied as you travel around the lush open world.
    On top of the main storyline missions, there are a huge amount of side missions to undertake and they're well designed and not overly repetitive. They also directly link in with the main storyline which I really like.
    The story is well written and the characters are memorable.
    On top of the main and side missions there are other smaller tasks to complete which are very well implemented and really help build the spiritual side of being a samurai.
    I would recommend this game to anyone.

    La versión de PS5 es una maldita pasada, no le pueden sentar mejor los 60 fps. Gráfica y artísticamente de lo mejor del catálogo de PS4 junto a the last of us 2, acompañado de una banda sonora espectacular. Un imprescindible.

    It's amazing how atmospheric this game is, while not compromising anything.
    Good story with movie-quality cut-scenes.
    Fun mechanics with a reasonable learning curve.
    Simply amazing.
    I'm not giving it a 10 because the game lacks historical & geographical accuracy. I'm especially appalled at how the game completely disregards Tsushima's actual geography.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a Dream game created by developers that clearly love Japanese culture, Samurais and the old Samurai and Kurosawa films.

    I LOVE SAMURAIS, This game is the best Samurai game to exist in the history of gaming, you can really feel the vibe everywhere. Sucker Punch, I just have to say you have crafted an excellent game, one of Quality, good Performance and Honour. and    Ghost of Tsushima is a Dream game created by developers that clearly love Japanese culture, Samurais and the old Samurai and Kurosawa films.

    I LOVE SAMURAIS, This game is the best Samurai game to exist in the history of gaming, you can really feel the vibe everywhere.

    Sucker Punch, I just have to say you have crafted an excellent game, one of Quality, good Performance and Honour. and to be honest, you did something that Ubisoft for a long time could not do, and still, to this day, they have not done it.

    If you have a PS4, or PS5 or are just a fan of Japanese Samurai and culture, Buy the game and Play it ASAP.

    Let me Break down this game in detail.

    GRAPHICS: 10/10
    Insanely beautiful graphics and use of environmental effects and locations, from the wind to the clouds to the sounds, to the grass, trees everything in this world feels alive, calm, and beautiful.

    COMBAT: 10/10
    Satisfying, clean, elegant, and sometimes brutal.

    CHARACTERS: 9/10
    Memorable, used with great care, and well attuned to the plot and story.

    STORY: 9/10
    It is one about change, sacrifice, and Honor, Jin Sekai is mostly a subtle character but you feel this connection, a struggle that he fights internally.

    HONOUR: A Jin Sekai/10
    This game oozes Japanese culture, I love it.

    POLISH AND PERFORMANCE: 10/10
    I have never seen in my life how an open-world game of this size can load so quickly, especially on a PS4, Some dev magic was used and I like it a lot.

    Knowing Sony, they will want a sequel, I want a sequel, and the fans want a Sequel. I can only imagine what that looks like with the Power of the PS5. this game is a 9/10, but why you may ask if I'm gushing so much about it. It's the Quality of some cutscenes, they are not cutscenes at all they are just camera pans, combined with the Story that drags a little and the way the end boss fight was done it loses a point.
    Other than everything else is amazing, this is the Best Japanese Assassins Creed Game I've ever played.    … Expand

It feels so satisfying when you time a parry, throws an enemy off balance and smashes your blade through him.

    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.
