    Holy **** **** This is the greatest Samurai game this generation. Story, Presentation, Graphics are top notch .Sekiro and Nioh are just novelty games. Kurosawa would've been proud.

    È parecchio bello e anche la grafica è una cosa assurda, il gameplay lo trovo piacevole ed il fatto che ti dia la possibilità di esplorare l'isola di tsushima liberamente è davvero un'ottima cosa

Growing into "The Ghost" was one of the dopest, most exciting things I experienced in a game. As your legend grows, you hear more people whispering tales about you out in the world. Incredible, incredible story arc. The combat makes you feel like that badass wandering Samurai you've seen in all forms of media. Sucker Punch nailed it perfectly. I started as the "Samurai", rushing down all opponents, but eventually decided to play more stealthy as the game progressed and it enhanced my fun even further. Mixing the two styles just feels amazing. Relaxing in the beautiful world Sucker Punch created can legit be it's own form of meditation. The art direction here is insane. The side quests (which are not fetch quests and are very entertaining) kept me pushing for more. So much so, I was afraid I would run out of things to do. After just finishing, there is still so much left. There are some issues, like the camera at times, but it was really nothing compared to everything else. I love it.… Expand

    It's not a bad game per se. But honestly it could be just another Assasin's Creed Cowabunga or whatever. Just another open-worldish tower clearing clone game.
    Gameplay is eh, music is all right.
    Graphics are being weird, sometimes it looks alright, but some cutscenes are so poorly directed that it feels like a 15y.o. mmorpg cutscene~ Overall impression is just meh, probably buy it if    It's not a bad game per se.

    No other game has got me into exploration as this one did. I decided to do a few side missions before going on with the main story, and several hours later, I’m still exploring undiscovered locations and doing side missions.

    Ghost of Tsushima isn't the most groundbreaking game of all time. It doesn't need to be.

    Sucker Punch manages to breath some new life to the old open world - genre. Genre that is often plagued by meaningless collectibles and sidequests. I didn't get that from GoT. Beautiful world to explore and if some granny wants you to whoop some mongol-ass, sign me up. The combat is phenomenal. For    Ghost of Tsushima isn't the most groundbreaking game of all time.

    Also, there is no level gating, where you can't fight an enemy because they are 30 levels above you. The combat is fluid and really satisfying (playing on hard). The loading times in the game are only a few seconds, which is surprising given it is running on HDD and such old hardware.

    Cons- -Playable character is able to walk through dead bodies. Minor but this lack of detail is slightly disappointing.
    -The camera can be slightly annoying at times. When fighting a group the camera constantly needs to be adjusted. It’s even worse when fighting in a forest as trees tend to obstruct your view
    -companions have a habit of getting in the way -For an open world game I felt it could have been a touch longer I would recommend you buy this game, especially if you are into Samurais or Japanese history/culture Sucker Punch have certainly pulled it out of the bag this time. Perhaps on the next update or any future sequels the game could be refined just a little.    … Expand

    Its really good, grass, shadows, wind, particles - everything looks perfect, and game runs good on ps4, without any lags, freezes and fps drops. Also ps4 is not that loud, as it was with Jedi Fallen order or CoD 2019.

    Its just wonderful. Especially, if you like Japanese music
    Dialogs
    Im not sure, 'cause I play on Russian, but I think they are ok

Graphics wise probably the best i've seen on the PS4 hardware and is more of a colourful game compared to other flagship games on the PlayStation. In conclusion its everything i wanted from a game of this calibre there are issues i have but most of them are bugs that can be patched. Also those who are saying "Americans should not make a game about Japanese " like Digitally Downloaded said. The perfect famitsu score explains itself and generally it is a faithful recreation of the Japanese landscape. The game is not a historical documentary but so was not games like Yakuza 0 with the 80's bubble culture or Black ops with the 60's. a video game is for entertainment at the end of the day.… Expand

    these "professional" reviewers once again prove how irrelevant they are. games losing points for not reinventing the wheel, while others dont. this is one of the best games of the Generation but you wouldnt know that by looking at the "professional" scores ( which are solid but are doing a great disservice to the game ), now i thought Second Son was mediocre to pretty good at best but Sucker Punch really stepped up BIG TIME, they are on the level of Santa Monica to me now. looking forward to your next game, ill be there day 1.    … Expand

    This is the most visually pleasing game I have ever played possibly dethroning Skyrim and HZD. Combat may feel like the usual hack and slash at first but once you master and it gets going, it makes you feel like a master Samurai. Playing this game at times feels like watching a moving painting.

    No checkboxes and no Abby makes this game the PS4 GOTY for 2020. Hope developers get the message but we gotta see. 10/10, what a lovely way to say goodbye to the PS4 era.

    This is an easy 10/10. One of the most lovingly crafted video games of this console generation. You can feel the sincerity in every moment of gameplay. It feels like a better assassins creed and makes you really feel like you are in ancient Japan. With more than 20 hours into the game, I can truly say this is my game of the year.

    25+ hours in I can say this is 100% a must buy. This is probably the most artistically beautiful game of a generation. It's gritty, visceral combat combined with the scenic backdrop are truly something special. This game bleeds authenticity and it truly feels like sucker punch poured thier heart and sole into this game.

Now to put things into perspective there are certainly issues with the game, some of the story and dialogue. Some of the character animations seems rushed, or borderline unfinished.

    But. The navigation/direction system is a stunning and unique mechanism. The colors are absolutely nothing short of amazing, the areas all feel different and fresh each time. Even the enemies while there are a core set of enemies, different areas have different types of these sets and they all feel different.
    While this feels like it has borrowed the camera from Assassin Creed, it feels like it has borrowed the art and soul of games like Nier Automata, or GRIS. There were times in the first few hours where I caught myself just watching the landscapes. The multiple combat stances, while at first seems a bit cumbersome, as you get used to them switching to match your opponents becomes easy and second nature.

    Visually stunning, 100% recommend.

At first you will think it is pretty basic but as you level up you find that the beauty of it comes from the mo-cap attack animations. Battles can get pretty overwhelming if you are not careful and the scenery in this game. I mean breathtaking. The vistas and landscapes in this game are pretty awesome, especially with the filter, but truth be told you don't even need it. I replaced my playstation wallpaper from the dynamic theme to one of the pictures i took. It is that good. I feel that this game is very unique in it's style. For some reason i keep thinking about Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 when I am playing maybe it is the open world....or the horses. Oh and spoiler, some of the boss battles, where you learn a new move can be really intense. Oh and for fans of the sly cooper franchise, there seems to be a bit of its dna in this game. I can't put my finger on it but it is in there.… Expand

There are much to do in this game, and many things are done very good. The stealthpart is for example way better than what assassins creeds stealth is. Upgradesystem is very free to choose what you want to play like.

    Control is flawless. Then you die it is because of you. Thus things does not feel unfair, and I love that. Negatives? Well, few things. Like forces long stealthmissions. Don't like those. Otherwise the game have alot of variation and stuff to do. And that is great. Best game from the studio so far!    … Expand

I don’t even know where to start. Movement is not snappy at all - just clunky, climbing and traversing is even worse. Jin will CONSTANTLY be tripping on tiny ledges that are barely raised a few inches above the ground in certain areas (seriously?). Menus look like traditional japanese mixed with sleek modernization that is way overdone.. it just looks corny and reminds me of AC which is so bland. No player agency in the beginning.. they hold your hand through everything. The huge world map is kinda barren.. there are SO FEW ITEMS to find in the world. Enemy variation is really weak. BOTW world is so much deeper — the comparisons are a joke. Combat camera is frustrating (unless you like being hit by things off screen). No lock on... really? Practically no control of the camera or controller settings/mappings. It’s just on rails.. you can do things at your pace and in whatever order you want but once you start a mission it’s just so linear. And the story is intriguing but executed in a very uninteresting way because the characters are just so uninteresting and generic. Nothing new, unique or original here aside for maaaybe the lack of on-screen map and ux stuff which I hate to break it to you... but minor things like that can’t save this game. But I guess in 2020 if you can make a game look rly beautiful then it’ll get rave reviews even if the gameplay is objectively mediocre? Sad. You’re given a horse immediately.. meaning exploration does not feel encouraged which is reinforced by how unrewarding it is because there’s very little variation in what you can find from exploring. Immersion is constantly broken by interruptions of something being on-rails. Lose a fight in the middle of a path? Don’t worry the enemies will literally be gone when you respawn. Infiltrating an enemy camp through the front door? Don’t worry - ever single enemy will conveniently have their backs turned to you at all times. I’m tired of writing but honestly this game is just a mess that I tried so hard to love and the beautiful environment is doing a wonderful job of making loads of people overlook its flaws that make it a game that I am not at all motivated to play... which is sad because I love just about any samurai/ninja/any japanese swordfighting game. ninja gaiden, sekiro, nioh, hell BOTW... they’re all original, have character and are just a better experience. if you want your hand held through a stunningly beautiful 40hr cinematic experience that’s a mechanical “meh” with unexciting characters.. this is the game for you lol.… 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.
