    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most visually striking, fun to play games I have personally ever played. This incredible samurai epic which draws parallels from such films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, transports you to an era where steel, and patience are the key to victory against the Mongol Hordes. I found myself stopping and staring at the beautiful vistas presented to me too manyGhost of Tsushima is one of the most visually striking, fun to play games I have personally ever played. This incredible samurai epic which draws parallels from such films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, transports you to an era where steel, and patience are the key to victory against the Mongol Hordes. I found myself stopping and staring at the beautiful vistas presented to me too many times to count in the first few hours alone, only to run a few hundred yards to initiate a standoff against a wandering patrol of Mongols in which I cut them down like I was hitokiri battousai. While the game itself is both visually and mostly fun at times, there are minor issues I ran into with the camera at times when fighting in densely populated areas with buildings. The camera does not make objects transparent so if you are fighting and there happens to be a pillar, tree or wall, it will obscure your vision. This can be fixed with simple camera adjustments, but when you're in the heat of the combat, trying to strike down 5-6 foes some of which are of screen it can be rather frustrating. While this is an issue, it rarely happened to me in game, although it was annoying when it did. The compelling characters, and side quests in conjunction with the free flowing combat system, make this game a joy to play, despite these very few insignificant hiccups. Bottom line is if you are a fan of Samurai epics, incredibly easy to pick up gameplay, open world games where the beauty of the world around you will literally make you stop and appreciate it this is the game for you. Although I had slight problems with the camera work at rare intervals, the package is the closest thing I have seen to a complete, bug free, and incredibly enjoyable experience in ages. I will admit that I have a bias toward Samurai games that are done well, so although this would traditionally be a nine out of ten for me due to the rare instance of annoying camera work, the overall setting, dedication to detail and gameplay hit detection that is almost perfect edges this into the ten out of ten category. Even people that don't enjoy Samurai tales will find something to enjoy here, and to me this is a strong contender for game of the year. Expand

    One of, if not the best, open world experiences I’ve ever had. Nothing mind blowing unique but it offers great improvements and subtle twists to the typical open world formula we’ve see from other open world games these days, and it does enough to feel new in a familiar genre and pulls it off very well.

Nothing mind blowing unique but it offers great improvements and subtle twists to the typical open world formula we’ve see from other open world games these days, and it does enough to feel new in a familiar genre and pulls it off very well. The story, setting, combat, the depth to the world and skills is a great combination for a game that you can sink many hours into, while can get repetitive I do feel it’s a good repetitive because the gameplay loop is satisfying, fun, and very enjoyable all while being in a world that feels open and very much alive which is satisfying compared to the other open world games from this gen that have felt empty and stale but Ghost of Tsushima excels in all areas of the open world genre having some of the best implementation in an open world game that I’ve played. If you love exploration, skillful combat, a samurai experience, and don’t mind another open world game to add to the list then this is on of the best games you will play. Last but not least, this game is the most beautiful game I have ever seen from the colors to the structure and all the different types of settings It has through out the island of Tsushima is amazing. I definitely recommend this game, it’s a very special way to end off the amazing generation of the PlayStation 4. Expand

    The most beautiful looking game I have ever played! Worth the $60 for the world they have created only.

    The story is engaging, but nothing too great. The combat is good, and very fun & interesting once you unlock many techniques. It's one of the best things about this game.

    Overall the game is a must-buy and another feather on the crown of Playstation

    One of the greatest games of all time, play in Japanese with English subtitles on hard (If you speak English) for full realism, absolutely should be GOTY, ignore the average "Critic" reviews, they're all just shilling for TLOU 2 giving GOT low/average scores to boost TLOU 2 scores, I have played both and Ghost of Tsushima dunks on The Last of Us 2.

    Do yourself a favor and buy this

    I could not wait for this game. The setting of Fuedal Japan is both visually appealing and horrific at the same time. Story has great pace and all about character. Only negative thing I say is, why didn't wasn't this game out sooner. What a great way to end the PS4 only exclusives. Looking forward to seeing what Sucker Punch release on the PS5

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You have stances just like Nioh, you have a cool bow that is very satisfying to shoot at enemies heads, and you have stealth as well, like SEKIRO stealth but with more stuff.
    You have char customization, they're very unique, I'm using a traveller set to find stuff as I pass by, my DS4 starts to vibrate when I'm near a collectible.
    Combat is fast, never underestimate even the weakest enemy, I'm loving the villain of this game, also, apart from all the combat, is a very relaxing game, the world is so beautiful, that you will try to take lots of pictures of the landscape, or just slaughtering some enemies.
    Also, everything loads do quick, after you die takes like 3 or 4 seconds to the respawn.
    Fast travels are also really fast

    Some of the button choices could have been improved and sometimes you die whilst jumping off a cliff that doesn't look high - other than that its a masterpiece.

    One of the best graphics that I have ever played. It actually is the only game that I often use the photo mode just to admire the view. The gameplay is quite challenging, although not the hardest one. The standoff is a pretty fun mechanic, I enjoy it much!

    The main story and side story are great and integrated well. The mission is fun if we decided to be stealth as much as possible.

The simple death animations aren’t as satisfying as they could be, there was so much creative potential there which is regrettable. The combat is immensely enjoyable, but again, feels like a small touch of something is missing. Enemy variety could have been improved as well. All in all, virtually all elements of this game are a work of expert art, if only the few things I mentioned above were addressed I would have happily called it Masterful art. Expand

No other western studio has come even close to this level of accuracy while making it this fun...I don't want to say the "it makes you feel like a samurai" but it truly does! most entertaining time I had for a long time. definitely recommended it's a masterpiece!Whether you like Samurai/Japanese culture or if you never heard of it and are curious to learn about it, this game is for you. No other western studio has come even close to this level of accuracy while making it this fun...I don't want to say the "it makes you feel like a samurai" but it truly does! most entertaining time I had for a long time. definitely recommended it's a masterpiece!
    Now to the non-spoiler details. I like to start with the worst first (although there is not that much bad things about it):

    The Ugly:
    Nothing is ugly about this game it's the most beautiful game I've ever played but relatively the worst thing about this game is the stealth/Assasin mechanics with bugs and dumb AI. Although its only competition from AAA games is assassin's creed and it easily goes way above and beyond that mess of a game so I didn't care about that.
    Plus if you choose to stay true to your Samurai ideals like me you won't even notice it.

    The Bad:
    The story, the protagonist, and the mo-cap in Japanese could've used a little refinement.
    Here too is not literally bad but like a freshly washed, ironed snow-white shirt even a little hair can be seen from a mile. So it's more like the mediocre not the bad.

    And finally the good:
    There are a million beautiful things you won't be able to forget coming out of this game so if you can pass the above-said negatives, Everything else is a positive. The game strives to be unique and solve a lot of the issues with this genre of open-world games and succedes but I prefer you experience it first hand and not read about its details like I did...it will definitely help you immerse yourself even more in this beautiful game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 고스트 오브 쓰시마는 내가 2020년에 했던 게임 중 최고다.

    이 게임의 장점은 빠른 로딩, 전략적이고 재밌는 근접 전투, 맵이 없는 대신 동물이나 바람이 맵의 역활을 해주는 참신함(이 시스템은 다른 오픈월드에도 도입하면 좋겠다. 이런 시스템은 게임에 몰입을 한층 더해준다), 마치 전쟁 영화같은 수준높은 연출력, 높은 칼질 타격감,
    화려한 자연 경관과 동물 그래픽, 높은 몰입감, 1대1 칼싸움 전투라는 참신하고 새로운 방식의 전투, 젤다의전설 야생의 숨결(The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)을 보는 것같은 모험 요소이다.

    고스트 오브 쓰시마의 가장 큰 재미는 근접 전투입니다.

    그 정도로 이 게임을 하는 이유는 오로지 칼싸움이라고도 할 수 있을 정도로 전투 하나만으로도 충분히 할만한 게임이.

    드래곤볼의 손오공이나 나루토가 된 것처럼 날라다니는 그런 액션이 아니다. 마치 '고스트 오브 쓰시마'의 액션은 무겁고 철저하게 정적이고 현실적이고, 그래서 더욱 타격감이 뛰어나게 느껴진다.

    이러한 일련의 과정을 통해 '고스트 오브 쓰시마'는 강렬하고 진중한 가운데 화려한 액션을 선보이는 게임들 못지않은, 아니 그보다 더 강렬한 '칼맛'을 선사한다.

    이런 점들을 종합해 보면 화려한 액션은 아니지만, 오히려 더 실제 칼싸움 같은 박진감 넘치는 칼싸움이다.

    이 검 1번의 공격으로 내가 죽을지 아니면 적이 죽을지 모르는 언제 죽을지 모르는 그런 긴장감이 있다.

    '수준높은 근접 전투와 뛰어난 타격감' 딱 그것이다.

    그래서 전투씬 하나만 보더라도 실제 칼싸움 영화를 방불케할 정도로 눈을 즐겁게 한다.

    근접 전투는 무겁고, 타격감이 있고 전략적이게 재밌게 잘 만든것같다.

    한국, 외국의 모든 리뷰어들이 하나같이 근접 전투가 뛰어나다고 칭찬하는 이유를 알 것 같다.

    그리고 무엇보다 젤다의전설 야생의 숨결(The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)처럼 내가 실제로 게임을 모험하는 기분이 들어서 좋았고, 내가 쓰시마의 수호신이 된듯 한 기분이 든다. 쓰시마의 모든 자연과 동물들과 친구가 될수 있다. 플레이타임도 결코 짧지 않다. 게임을 플레이한 후에도 계속 할수있다. 그래서 이 게임을 한 번 하게되면 너무나 할게 많다.

    앞으로도 고스트 오브 쓰시마처럼 수준 높은 근접전과 뛰어난 타격감, 멋있는 영화같은 연출력을 보여주는 게임은 나오지 않을 것이다.

    이대로면 고스트 오브 쓰시마가 최다 2020년 최다 고티(Game of the Year)를 수상하게 될 것이다.

    The ghost of Tsushima was the best game I ever played in 2020.

    The advantages of the game are its fast loading, strategic and interesting close-up battles, and novelty in which animals or winds serve as maps instead of maps (which should also introduce systems to other open worlds). The system adds more concentration to the game with a high sense of stabbing, as if it were a war movie, as if it were a war movie.
    The colorful natural scenery, animal graphics, high immersion, and one-on-one gladiators are adventurous elements, such as seeing the "Legend of Zelda: Wild Breath."

    It's not the act of flying around like Sonokong or Naruto in Dragon Ball. It seems as if the work of "Ghost of Tsushima" is heavy, thoroughly static and realistic, giving it a more impressive feeling.

    Through this series of processes, "The Ghost of Tsushima" presents a powerful and serious "knife action" like a game featuring colorful action.

    It's not a fancy action, but rather a more realistic sword fight.

    This tension is on me, and I don't know if I'll die in this knife attack, or when the enemy will die.

    This is the first time since Sekiro that he has "excellent sense of high-level close combat and hitting." So I praise you very much.

    So just watching the battle scenes makes my eyes happy, reminiscent of a real sword fight movie.

    I think close range is heavy, aggressive and strategic.

    One can see why all critics at home and abroad praise the close race for excellence. And most of all, like the legend of Zelda (the breathing of the beast), I felt like I was actually enjoying adventure in the game, and I felt like I was the guardian of Tsushima. You can make friends with all the nature and animals in Tsushima. Playtime is never short. I can go on after playing a game. So I have so much work to do after this game. In the future, there will be no games like Ghost of Tsushima that show high-quality close combat, outstanding sword action, or cool film-like directing skills. At this rate, Ghost of Tsushima will win the most games of the year in 2020.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, this is an example of a game that starts like a really great one, but then ruins almost everything it archived in the first hours of the gameplay.

    The world has too many repetitive activities. Waaaay too many, and they are too boring when you do them 7th time in the past 2 hours. Also, the world feels kinda... dead? You have a short number of activity’s types, but nothing else.

    And you cannot go to something else when you are on one of the main quests - game literally tells you that you need to go back.

    The animations are repetitive too. When you meet your first fox, it’s exiting, but then you meet another one, and another, and they all are literally the same. Or maybe it’s the same fox indeed, haha. And you are going to see her 48 more times if you want to honor all shrines. AND THE ANIMATIONS ARE THE SAME. EVERY. FREAKING. TIME.

    You are going to see a black screen with some background sounds a lot. Feels like developers were cutting corners to save time, but it took about 6 years to make this game anyway, which is, again, weird.

    The textures look like they are from PS2 sometimes. I do not know why are we still having problems with textures in 2020, but wooden things and the snow are just… bad too often.

    And it’s noticeable even when you are fighting / riding.

    The models look really nice, but the world around them looks cheap. Colors and motion in the environment helps with that a lot actually, but why cannot you make a good-looking wooden bridge, Sucker Punch? It’s not that hard.

    And don’t let me start on the collision. Jin’s feet go inside a roof when he stands on it, and inside the snow without it deforming. It happens a lot. Oh, and you can literally gallop through the bamboo forest. Look, your horse is a ghost too! Not funny.

    SPOILER: the main story is a one big cliché. You can totally guess the final boss simply by watching the trailer. Seriously.

    Allies missions are much better than the main story, so there is at least something.

    Now to the good things - combat is the coolest feature of the game, at least when you do not have 5 mongols all around you. Then the camera is your biggest enemy, and you do not have a target lock. OMG.

    Stop, we were talking about good things. Ok.

    The music is astonishing.

    The overall atmosphere of the game is great, mostly because of the music, landscapes in motion (please don’t stop to look into details, trust me) and the one-on-one combat.

    So, let’s summarize it: first several hours are great, by they are ruined by following repetitiveness. The main story is meh, but allies quests are nice. Technical aspect is not great too - too many things look like they are undone or done badly. One-on-one combat is lit, but not the combat with a group of enemies. The game’s atmosphere is wonderful if you force yourself to ignore the bad things I’ve listed. Music is great.

    I really hope Ghost falls into step of Days Gone, and Sucker Punch team will fix all the bugs, awful textures, the camera and the group combat.

    I do not recommend buying the game right now, better wait for more patches (and maybe when it goes on sale).

    It’s a stylish, but not at all polished game, also it's really boring after first few hours, which is so sad and disappointing.

Atmosphere and environments of the game is the best I’ve seen in any game world and is one of the highlights of this game together with the fantastic combat. Music and sounds also complements the environments perfectly and there’s a lot to look for here with traditional Japanese music to Mongolian throat signing in some combat encounters an. English voice acting is pretty good however have not tried Japanese voices as of yet but going from the trailers the syncing with voice and mouth motion but it could be fixed. There is also a plethora of side activities and stories to follow aside from the main campaign that adds several hours of gameplay and value to this already awesome game world. All in all, a fantastic game that had high expectations but delivers on everything it promised and more. A great send off for the last PS4 exclusive of this console generation and a mature experience to show how Sucker Punch has developed as a studio since the Infamous games. now. Expand

    We all can agree at this point, any open world comes out the first feeling we get is skepticism whether it will be a chore to explore, whether it will get repetitive after a while, whether it will be grindy in terms of combat & crafting. Ghost aims is to improve & refine these. Does it succeed ? It very well improves for the most part.

    The best decision that Sucker punch made is to establish a clear identity for the game as a stylish samurai drama game right from the start in every aspect. Its not gonna be grounded in reality, its set in real history setting but is a fiction & gamified, story & characters are dramatic, over the top,its stylish there is a consistent art style & flair to everything right from the menus, UI, world, environment. What this achieves is such a natural flow of how we play the game & what we see in it. A beautiful flow just like its wind...

    The wind guidance might seem like a one off gimmick from trailers & gameplay, but i cannot stress enough on the immersion it creates and makes exploration so organic. The exploration of this game is heavily inspired from Zelda Botw and am glad for that. I have had continuous long gameplay sessions without opening the map & menu more than a few times. This makes us observe this beautiful world more which fuels into curiosity & exploration. We hear about rumors and points of interest from talking to npcs. Every area has its own visual style so you can clearly associated with it after a while and easily memorize the map. Crafting & gathering materials is simple as ever, you never once feel the need to go out and collect any materials nor do we ever feel like i have to get this upgrade to progress, it all just happens naturally as we play. A big thanks for not keeping any slightest animation for gathering, whether you are on foot/horse just a button press near the tree branch/flower/supplies and its in our inventory. While choosing quests you are shown what rewards you will get, in the open world if you place cursor on any location it will list all the vendors there, what new items/upgrades so we dont need to go there and check everytime. There are so many refinements like these that i can keep on talking about. Bottomline is all these together contributes to such a natural flow of gameplay that i never once felt like i am doing something unnecessary.

    I am loving the characters and story so far. Jin is a likeable protagonist. The combat was one aspect i was worried a lot before release , it was basic at start but it opens up to so much depth that i did not expect. The controls are tight, there are lot of skills, techniques and weapons to use. The standoffs are amazing. Combat isn't hard like in Sekiro, but it has more variety and flair and for me i found this more fun. Also i personally like that there is no lock on.

    About the visuals, art design and sound its pure zen-like and mesmerizing throughout ! The videos and screenshots don't do justice. The photo mode deserves an award !

    Now coming to the remaining of the "improves for most part". The quest design is something that is definitely lacking. Their story, premise are interesting but the structure is were the game falters. Most of them involve age old design like meeting someone, following them for a while talking to them, then arrive at a location where quest happens. It sure helps world building, but gets old quite soon. But thanks to the story, combat and quest objectives this doesn't impact the experience as much as it would generally. Except for the main cast the NPC animations overall are very rigid , sometimes i feel too many fade to black cuts in cutscenes. The good old camera problem especially in tight places where there is no transparency if we are behind any wall/drapes.

    Overall its such a breath of fresh wind , positive and a soulful gaming experience. SuckerPunch & Sony knocked it off the park.

    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.
