    10/10 is to high and seems more like a Shoot aginst Last of Us2 ^^. But it's pretty Fun anyways. Besides FF7R the best Game so far for me this Year.

    The game looks really good. They did not mess up too much with their history or try and spoon in modern politics

    However being an open world it looks like they took. Few pages from other games in its class. Over all i have enjoyed it

    Only real negative is the frame rate. This game needs 60 fps. It could be because I'm playing on an original PS4, but the frame rate seems really janky at some points. With that said, the game play is ridiculously fun and the story is enough to keep me wanting to play, but nothing really special.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing world, great dialogue, insanely fun gameplay. Unfortunately for me, I don't know if I made a mistake of if there was a bug or if the game is coded this way, but when I cleared certain missions WITHOUT using assassinations or anything that would "break the samurai code" I was still called out for "not fighting like a samurai" and that completely ruined my immersion. Other than that tho, super good game.… Expand

    The graphics/world are BY far the best aspect of this game. I just stopped a lot and just immersed myself in the stunning world. It is one of the most beautiful video games I have ever played. The authenticity of the world and environment is great, which you need for an open world style game.
    The music is also really good, not quite up to Nier Automata or Persona 5 for me, but really awesome!

    So why an 8? I personally feel the combat is pretty good overall, but it's not really my cup of tea so to speak. So if you like this kind of combat (sort of like Assassins Creed I guess) you might rate this higher than an 8. I also thought the main protagonist was kind of decent but not quite enough for me.

    So that's my small review. :)    … Expand

    The combat even tho it was fun, the stealth mechanic and dumb AI really make it not worth to be played as stealth game. Platforming feels clunky most of the time, movement looks stiff etc. Play it as true samurai in my first playtrough and it was super fun.

    Graphics, texture sometimes it looks a bit too flat for me, plenty of repetitive in foliage and scenery. But all world combined, you'll take tons of screenshots using well made photomode on every possible circumtances. Kinda disappointed the world itself lacks of npc for my taste.

    Sounds, superb music composition, superb ambient, superb sfx and voice acting. Especially appreciate the use of native mongolian language for the enemy unit. Sadly its faceial animation werent matched for native japanese language, which imo defeat the purpose of kurosawa mode.

    Story, well me personally kinda want it to be samurai clan vs samurai clan. But foreign invasion works too, even tho its kinda cliche at this moment. The character of jin it feels too one dimension at the start of the game, but his internal conflict about honor is what i'd consider unique in samurai setting where you should face your enemy face on.

    I wish you got access to many things earlier on in the game, most of it didn't come until very late. Also, I think a lock-on is a must when your camera is challenging at the best of times.

    People have said the game aims for historically accurate I disagree, its overflowing with modern-day sensibilities and many woke watermarks: lot of "Strong Female Characters". The SFC make up almost half of the main characters, keep in mind the game takes place in feudal Japan a country with an almost fanatical social caste system. Jin the main character is a bit of a mary Sue but his character quickly develops through out the main story. In all, SuckerPunch made a great game and its worth the money. I genuinely look forward to sequels and or DLCs, in short its an imperfect game but fun.

Visually, the game was not as impressive as it looked to me in the trailers. It does not have bad graphics, it is quite a pretty looking game but it has actually a better artistic design than the actual graphic design, which we experience in the final product.

    The game has a very nice Japanese atmosphere and colourful landscapes and fields full of dancing flowers to ride through. But, where the game disappoints are animations. Lip syncing is not that brilliant and horse movements and walking/running animations do not really look good. The world tries to be pretty and exciting and it certainly is for the most part but at the same time it feels deserted and dead with some very similar occasional small events and quests that you can run into. I know, I said it too many times but Red Dead Redemption II showed a very nice and creative way to make a lively world full of interesting side events that almost never get old. In this sense, Ghost of Tsushima is far from that.

    One of many great things about this game are loading times. The game loads very, very fast. Fast travel is done in only a few seconds. Another nice thing is navigation through the open world. Once you mark your destination on the map you can close the map and while riding a horse you will notice the wind blow in the grass or between the trees that actually points in the direction of your destination. If you are lost you can use the touchpad to make the wind start blowing again. A really nice little thing.

    All in all, I did expect more but I have to say that Ghost of Tsushima is fun to play and observing it as a whole thing - it is a fine game. It puts you in the shoes of a samurai on his quest to reclaim his homeland from invaders. The game has RPG elements, a skill tree, and plenty of different movements and skills to master and use in countless combats and duels across the land of Tshushima.

    The story itself is nothing special. Another quest of revenge we all saw far too many times, unfortunately. Still, I enjoyed playing.    … Expand

However, some choices in the rhythm of the narrative and the lack of technical polish in some aspects means that the game deserves to keep the note in the 80's ... still another excellent Sony exclusive, with the potential to compete for GOTY in a better worked sequence!

    If we're talking about beautiful games, then Ghost of Tsushima is up there with the best. The game doesn't have the best "graphics" I've ever seen but the visual presentation and the look of the open world is really good, mind-blowing at points. I think the soundtrack is also very fitting, really gives the samurai/Japanese vibe. This isn't the biggest open-world that has been presented but it doesn't need to, because getting the platinum for this game was so fun and I never got bored. It doesn't surprise me anymore how many people have platinumed this game.

    One of the best parts of the game and the reason why it has such a high completion rate is fun and well crafted gameplay. While you play through the game you will unlock different things to keep the gameplay such as combat and platforming fresh and fun. In combat you will unlock different stances and each stance is good against one specific enemy type. You will also unlock different "ghost" weapons such as kunai knifes, smoke bombs and sticky bombs. You will also get a bow that can shoot normal and fire arrows. That is how this game succeeds, while you progress the gameplay slightly changes and keeps things fresh. Platforming is also a part of the gameplay but compared to the combat it's very minor and it's very simple to climb. The open world is filled with things to do, maybe not RDR2 levels of things to do, but enough. There are of course main quests and side quests, but there are also shrines you can climb, foxes you can follow to shrines and you can even perform haikous and more, which will net you different items respectively. The only bad thing I can say about the gameplay is that in combat the camera can be absolutely horrible. Especially while fighting inside a house or a tent or any enclosed space. Fighting outside is much better but can also sometimes have camera problems.

    The story is pretty good for the most part, the overall main quest had me immersed into the world. The side quests are also for the most part very good and give better insight to the people that live on the island of Tsushima. The story revolves around the samurai Jin Sakai, who is the main protagonist of the game. It follows his path of trying to save his island from a Mongol invasion. This requires him to forge a new path, the way of the ghost. I won't go into more details because of spoilers, but most of the story is pretty solid, and the characters and dialogue are very well written. The only thing I didn't like was that I felt that the ending didn't feel complete. The ending had a great moment so it's not all bad, but I thought the ending felt a little short and could have been much more expanded upon.

    To sum up, Ghost of Tsushima is a great game that has great gameplay and a solid story. The game never got boring, and for a main story that is about 20 hours and maybe 20 hours additional to platinum that's a long time to keep a game fresh, but Sucker Punch succeeded. I recommend everyone that owns a PS4 or even a PS5 to get this game, I was never really into samurai games but this game really is an exception.

    The game itself looks amazing. More than one time I died because I was looking at the scenery and not the Mongols.

    Combat is fun and after a few side missions that grant abilities it was even more fun.

    Its not perfect, a few times I could predict story points or dialogue because it hits certain tropes but overall the game is fun to play well made and definitely worth the time and money.

    Combat caters to all play styles, though of course being a samurai game sword-play is far more entertaining and cool. The stance system is well implemented and makes the early game levelling up particularly exciting.
    Hard mode provided a good level of challenge, though some bosses (duels) jumped up significantly in difficulty seemingly at random. Cheating ai (sliding across ground mid animation) was also a bit ridiculous and frustrating at times.

    Stopping this game from reaching an 8/9 for me was the repetitive and formulaic nature of the gameplay. Most quests follow a very similar pattern, and in the end almost always result in killing everyone via combat after tracking and following footsteps to their location.

    imo all it needed was a little more variety to break up the main pattern. For instance one quest had you needing to locate campfires quickly as to not freeze to death, quite different from the overall formula. Just a few more different approaches to gameplay would have made a huge difference in a game this size.

    Overall elements of greatness exist in Got, little things like bowing to the dead, playing the flute and sheathing the sword after the final blow add a lot to the immersion and samurai coolness factor. Changing outfits in the game really helped with character building and immersion and added a lot more to my experience than in most other games.
    The game is very stylish from the world, to the Ui and supporting artworks and if nothing else it is worth playing just to experience the world itself.    … Expand

    At first, the game caused only one yawn and indignation from what he saw. But, nevertheless, after playing it for several tens of hours, you will really be imbued with the history of the protagonist and the spirit of that ancient Japan. The only drawbacks are the first act and the rather awkward camera controls. All in all, SP has a pretty passable game trhat closes the PS4 exclusive lineup.

The open world looks amazing, but there isn't much there other then looks and side objectives(Villagers to rescue ot give you on map side objectives). Onto the bad however. The camera is extremely frustrating. Any time you are indoors it can bug out hindering you from seeing attacks coming your way, killing you sometimes. Button presses do not register sometimes, i went up behind a mongol one time and tried to stealth kill him only for Jin to regularly attack him. I would press the buttons they want me to, to switch stances to fight different enemies but it wouldn't register. The controls can be a bit clunky at times, as there is no lock on feature. The game also starts off extremely hard, but by the end of the game is extremely easy. IDK if it is just because i completed all side objectives, but i played on hardest difficulty and it was still rather easy. The photo mode while nice to have, can get in the way sometimes. As i try to heal only for me to go into photo mode. The controls in general can be a bit of an issue too. As it isn't as tight as assassin creed is now.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a great game and a lot of fun, but I must say that to me, it unfortunately falls short of being a perfect 10/10 like most people claim it to be.

    The gameplay is amazing. Initially, I was afraid that the combat was a little generic, but once you start learning and upgrading your different stances and tools, it becomes a whole new game. The combat system and    Ghost of Tsushima is a great game and a lot of fun, but I must say that to me, it unfortunately falls short of being a perfect 10/10 like most people claim it to be.

    The gameplay is amazing. Initially, I was afraid that the combat was a little generic, but once you start learning and upgrading your different stances and tools, it becomes a whole new game. The combat system and techniques in this game reminded me a lot of what the recent Spiderman's combat felt like: the game allows you to be creative when you fight, and utilise all the tools at your disposal to gain an advantage and achieve a clean victory. the animations and visuals during a fight are fluid, and each swing of your katana carries a weight to it that makes each kill you get a satisfying one. Each opportunity for a fight had me excited and wanting to test out new combos and strings on my enemies.

    Where the gameplay falls short is the stealth. Not only are the ghost branch upgrades really uninteresting and inconsequential, but there really is no fun to be had if you choose the stealthy approach. There's nothing fun about pressing square or triangle and going through the same animation of stabbing someone in the neck hundreds of times. The incredibly stupid AI doesn't help with this, I've had moments where the AI soldiers stare at me while I murder their friend in cold blood, and then go on about their days. But other than the few missions where you're forced to use stealth, you almost always have the option to go loud and live your dream of being an invincible samurai warrior, so I'm not complaining too much. Another super annoying part of the game is the lack of a "lock-on" button during combat, I can't stress how many times I've been unable to attack the enemy I wanted when taking on a group, and thus making the fight much harder than it has to be.

    The world of this game - as many have already said - is one of the most beautiful in any video game out there. The art direction that Sucker Punch took for this title has truly paid off and made me want to explore non-stop. The various Fox dens, Shrines, Bamboo strikes, Haikus etc were all essentially the same thing in different locations, but I never got bored of doing them as it allowed me to take in more of the world's beauty with an added benefit of upgrading my character.

    The game has a good story. The plot is alright, nothing spectacular, but Jin's path to becoming a ghost (although executed haphazardly which I will get to later) makes for an engaging story as Jin slowly abandons the way of the Samurai. The characters are well written and each one has a unique personality and backstory; the voice acting is also mostly great (I played the game in English, by the way). However, I feel like the game takes itself way too seriously. Most of the dialogue between the characters is incredibly dull and serious, and thus the game is unable to effectively build relationships between Jin and his companions. Sure, maybe this was intended, but my point still stands; there is often a significant lack of comradery and emotions between the characters.

    But my biggest gripe with the game is the poorly executed transition into becoming a ghost. Here I am, the player, doing standoffs to clear settlements and killing my enemies WITH honour. But then all of a sudden, there's a cutscene where someone talks about finding dead Mongol soldiers that were stabbed in the back by the "dishonourable ghost" a.k.a Jin Sakai. And then, towards the second act of the game people just call you the ghost and you're forced to accept it.

    Anyways, it probably sounds like I'm nitpicking. The story does have a really great ending and a pretty satisfying conclusion to Jin's journey.

    Overall, although I think Ghost of Tsushima is not the revolutionary masterpiece it's being portrayed as, it IS an extremely fun open-world samurai game with a breathtaking rendition of the island of Tsushima that players can explore. There truly was never a moment where I thought I was getting bored with its gameplay. And although the story does fall short for me, it manages to get the job done. If you're a fan of open-world games, this is a must-buy.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a great game. The gameplay is fun, whether you're playing as an honourable samurai, or a sneaky assassin.

Unfortunately it's brought down by the fact that it is an open world and has a lot of busy work. It's not as bad as other open world games as the side activities are fun, but it can feel like there's too much to do at times. Also story is for the most part just fine. It's not anything special and the best parts don't come until much later in the game. Overall it's a great game. If you want a fun samurai game to play then I would highly recommend this.… Expand

    Great game, I enjoy how beautiful the open world is. Combat feels a little monotonous like the ai blocks onc in a while your attacks. So it feels not 100% realistic. But, it's a fun game. And story is interesting and to have the option to be stealthy is a great option. Its not a perfect game. But. It probably get patched and be almost a 10. Hope we get a sequel on ps5.

    Ghost Of Tsushima is probably Sucker Punch best work to date.
    While leaving a bit to desire on the graphics, based on its initial pre-release presentation, with unpolished textures and glitches, the game's art assets make its world beautiful and thrilling to explore. However, it does sometimes fall short on providing actual content to the open area.

    With the main story being on the cliche side of things and with some questionable writing decisions, but still providing very emotional moments, it highlights the secondary quests with much more interesting plot directions and characters.
    The gameplay and combat overall can feel repetitive, but the RPG systems make up for it.
    Although my good experience with this game, it doesn't feel like it lives up to the Sony's PS4 last breath on this generation's console games.    … Expand

    This is a really good first game in a new IP and I really like what Sucker Punch is trying to do. The game is beautiful and each new area really feels incredible to explore. The samurai combat is quite fun and stylish, and I liked a lot of the ideas for side quests and exploration.

The game is beautiful and each new area really feels incredible to explore. The samurai combat is quite fun and stylish, and I liked a lot of the ideas for side quests and exploration.

    I did feel though that this game was so close to being really amazing, and it doesn't quite get there for me. The story is very generic, but good enough to keep me interested and the characters were mildly compelling. Jin himself isn't the most interesting protagonist, though. I liked how your allies each get their own character arc and companion missions, sort of like in Mass Effect 2. It all could have been so much more compelling, though, if the dialogue wasn't so on the nose or if they took the time to plant plot details earlier and have them pay off later -- rather than have important things pop up right when they storyline is about to end. It's sort of hard to explain, but all the pieces are there for a good story, they just need a good editor.

    There are also a lot of annoying little things that I hope a sequel does away with. Like, for instance, when you start any quest in the game you have to walk up to a character, exchange a few generic lines of dialogue, then play an unskippable cutscene of more boring lines of dialogue, typically followed by a trailing mission to where the actual mission takes place -- so that the characters can exchange more generic dialogue. Even just cut that in half and it would be so much more enjoyable.

    A sequel could also be so much better if it just further develops the stealth mechanics and climbing. Stealth was far too easy even playing on hard, and it was often far more satisfying to just walk up and do the ingenious standoff-mechanic and fight everyone head on. The climbing was actually much more fun than in games like Uncharted, and I like that they borrowed the Uncharted 4 grappling hook. But then there just aren't many uses for the climbing and grappling hook mechanics.

    There's one last thing that didn't work in my opinion. The whole game is just gorgeous and filled with truly jaw-dropping scenery, then you get to the third act and it's this bleak, war-torn winter. In theory I think it could work, but it really ripped away one thing that made this game uniquely enjoyable. For my money, this game is at its best in the second act, when each new area is more beautiful than the last and you're sword-dueling under autumn leaves, waterfalls, and giant candle-lit statues. The third act focuses a little too much on the narrative rather than the stunning atmosphere that really makes the game.

    Overall, this is a great first game and I have high hopes for this series.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima ist das bessere Assassin's Creed. For sure. Es macht alles in allen Belangen besser.

Die Open World ist deutlich kompakter, weniger redundant und kann auch völlig frei ohne Marker und Karte erforscht und beherrscht werden. Das Kampfsystem ist anpassungsfähig und deutlich komplexer. Hat man seinen Build gefunden, kämpft man wie im Flow, kombiniert verschiede Schläge, wirft Messer in heranstürmende Gegner um sie zum taumeln zu bringen, blocked den Angriff eines weiteren Gegner um gleich zum schnellen Konter auszuholen. Auch das Schleichen funktioniert bei Ghost deutlich besser als in Assassin's Creed. Allerdings zeigen sich hier auch die Ähnlichkeiten beider Spiele, nämlich in der doch sehr dummen Gegner KI. Diese sind nämlich zu leicht auszutricksen. An den Realismus von Naughty Dog Produktionen kommt Sucker Punch hier kaum heran. Und auch wenn die Spielewelt wunderschön anzusehen ist und viele Highlights bietet, sieht man dem Spiel schon an, dass Sucker Punch eines der kleineren Sony Studios ist und lange nicht so viel Detailarbeit in den Titel geflossen ist, wie beispielsweise in ein Horizon oder The Last of Us. So sind gerade Dialoge mit NPCs ausserhalb der toll gefilmten Cut-Scenes recht altbacken realisiert. Generell sind Dialoge und Storyquests lange nicht auf dem Niveau geschrieben, wie man dies von Naughty Dog, Insomniac oder selbst einem Days Gone her kennt. Warum Ghost dann aber doch mehr ist als nur ein weiteres gutes Sony Open World Spiel, ist vielleicht die hervorragend getroffene Stilistik des Spiels. Wer alte Samurai Schinken liebt, wird dieses Spiel sicherlich feiern.… Expand

En el apartado artístico es de los puntos más importantes del juego al crear efectos en el ambiente o la paleta de colores que usan en ciertas zonas del mapa que me ha encantado, y a la vez la banda sonora es increíble, en algunas peleas la música ayuda a que sea un ambiente de pelea más épico y al final te deja una sensación de satisfacción de esa pelea. En cuanto a lo que no me gustó pues, en algunas animaciones de personajes creo que se pudiera haber pulido un poco más ya que en algunas ocasiones esas animaciones se ven medio raras, otro aspecto creo que no me gustó fue que las misiones secundarias, como las bases o el ayudar a los npc se hace muy repetitivo y aveces cansa, y por último creo que algunos coleccionables se puede hacer tedioso debido a que debes estar atento a tu alrededor, explorar todo el mapa y puede ocasionar de que estás haciendo una misión y puede que te distraigas o sientas la necesidad de desviarte dé lo que en verdad querías hacer y por último el sistema de combate fue algo confuso al principio, debido a que hay ocasiones que tienes a muchos enemigos y debes estar atento a cuando cambiar tu posición de batalla, cuando esquivar o bloquear. Para finalizar creo que es de los mejores exclusivos que a sacado PlayStation esta generación y me parece excelente que con este título se despida esta generación de PlayStation, me deja un buen sabor de boca este titulo.… Expand

    This game is breathtaking to just look at first off. The world is just great to explore just for the sake of it. The story is exciting for the most part, the combat is fun and engaging (though stealth isn't too satisfying), and the characters are all very good.

    The only place this game really faulters is in its open world design. While i still find enjoyment out of worlds like this, this game uses many of the same elements that too many open world games use these days. A lot of missions tend to get very repetitive, especially when it comes to the many side missions. Many either boil down to traveling to an area to kil enemies or tracking a person that leads to more enemies or even the occassional fetch quest.

    That being said, the game adds enough new elements in the mix to make it stand out. When it comes to exploring, you may come across an animal that leads you to an area of interest, and even the repetitive side quests all tend to have some kind of interesting narrative to them, even if they're present for just a few minutes.

    Overall, this one of my favorite games of the year and I recommend it for anyone who likes action games.    … 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.
