    Looks good, but there is not much to do in Tsushima. Main campaign is pretty straight-forward. Most of the side-quests are boring and repetitive. And the worst part there is absolutely no reward for doing anything in the game - no useful items, resources become redundant after the first chapter, skill tree is very short (and also pretty useless).

    Pretty good but far from the best. It's basically an Assassin's Creed game with good graphics and actual good combat, however there is a severe lack of animation even in main story cutscenes that gets you out of the story.

    It's a good game but too much of it is a slightly better version of a modern AC game. World is empty and lifeless. You only have like 5 different enemy types. Side quests are ok but repeatable . Other side activities are taken straight from a Ubisoft modern open world game so they are really bad.

Combat and graphics are good but stealth combat is really bad. Enemy AI is not good and stealth gameplay lacks mechanics like picking up bodies and hiding them even though the game is mainly about becoming a ninja. Overall ,Ghost of Tsushima is just an ok game but i am pretty sure if it was made by Ubisoft people would trash on it how repeatable it is like their every open world game. Expand

    Just completed the game and 2 missions into Iki island.

    1. Gameplay - battle system is very good and this is what Sucker Punch knows how to do well. Overall you will go from one place to another and kill enemies. There is no variety except for mini games scattered around the open world. 2. Sandbox - the visual part is very beautiful, but dead. Physics is non-existent and you feel

    2. Sandbox - the visual part is very beautiful, but dead. Physics is non-existent and you feel that everything is a decoration.

    3. Characters - unfortunately this is where the game disappoints. Characters are not well written without any backgroud. You don't believe their words mean anything to them. Imagine that in the whole game not even one character will smile to you or laugh - terrible writing.

    4. Story and side quests - the story is primitive, only children will believe. Side quests are even worse - the game becomes footprints simulator. The end game is great though.

    5. Music and sound - music is good but you get only several classic Japanese tracks. Voice acting is bad - you always feel that the voice is from other room not from the place where characters speak.

    Overall this game had huge potential to be a masterpiece but it needs much improvement to become one. It's a shame Sucker Punch did not go further with their ambition.

    Gameplay is fun and the game looks beautiful and thats about it story is generic and basically ripped straight out from a ubisoft game : kill all the less important bad guys and then you get to kill the big bad.

    Mission design in this game is also awful half of the time its a tracking Mission the other half its a trailing mission. Honestly the game isn't bad but i dont understand all

    It has an enticing opening with some pacing issues (some flashbacks being a bit anti climatic). The art style is fantastic, with beautiful environments and Japanese movie inspired cinematography.

    However, soon after the world opens up after the initial events, it very soon feels boring. There may be a lot of question marks or POIs on the map, but there's not much curiosity or story

    However, soon after the world opens up after the initial events, it very soon feels boring. There may be a lot of question marks or POIs on the map, but there's not much curiosity or story elements that urge me go anywhere. It's like telling you a long term goal and leave everything else to the player without good leading or bridging, which is quite different to lots of other open world games (you can have a tight main story quest lines but still free to deviate and explore the world).

    I just can't keep the interest to play to the end

Плюсы можете посмотреть у продажных блогеров. Игра очень скучная и монотонная. У вас есть основной квест. И он не как не зависит от стиля вашей игры. Разработчики построили простую сюжетную, линейную игру. К примеру, вы можете быть самураем, у которого честь при выше всего. Но сюжет вертел этот ваш отыгрыш и желания. Всю будет точно по сценарию. Или, например вы будете играть за скрытого шиноби. И сражаясь из тени. Это не как не повлияет на сюжет. Ну разве что вы увидите пару воспоминаний. И в 2020 этот подход выглядит очень тупо и скучно. Но это не худшее. Проблемы есть и в кветсах. Все, начиная от побочных заканчивая сюжетными сводиться к убийству монгол. И от этого начинает тошнить уже к середине игры. Они сделаны на столько монотонно и однообразно. Что под час вы просто стараетесь их избежать что бы не затягивать игру. Вы скажете, но квесты то хоть интересные? Нет. Они еще хуже. Они линейны и могут проходиться почти в любом порядке. Из-за этого рушится восприятие. Например, средний квест состоит из 9 миссий. В первой части карты 4 и во второй 3, и 2 в третьей части карты. Допустим в первой вы все проигнорировали начали выполнять во второй карет. И там выполнили все квесты потом вернулись в первую карту и начали с начала выполнять с 1 по 4. И в четвертом задание вы получаете координаты 5 который вы уже выполнили. Бредово звучит да? Но это так. В игре даже открытый мир тупо сделан. Вы можете найти сюжетную крепость, при приближении к которой вас тут же будут убивать 7-8 стрел из неоткуда. То есть, по сути, исследовать лучше уже когда все сюжетные квесты закончены. Тогда у вас не будет возникать вопросы почему из неоткуда в вас летят стрелы. Так же в игре нельзя пропустить не одной сцены. Вы зачистили лагерь монголов. Их тут много. Вам показывают один из трех роликов: «главный герой спит рядом с лошадью, стоит и смотрит на поселение или выжженый монгольский лагерь, показывают природу в конце вас». Это длится где-то минуту. Пропустить нельзя. Вот вам это будет нравиться, когда вы это увидите в 30 раз? И мне нет. А просто надпись что вы подняли уровень у святилища в 10 раз? В одной пробочке вам надо победить 4 абсолютно одинаковых генерала, при этом перед победой вы должны сжечь 4 лагеря. Перед тем как их сжечь их надо зачистить. Причем все это будет проходить по одному сценарию. Который повторялся уже 30 раз до этого. Если вы, конечно, внимательно играете. К сожалению метакритик имеет ограничения и не дает больше расписать про игру. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game was fine until you get knocked out by a wooden stick and they kill Taka. Contrived storylines in a 100+ hour game? That’s a load of **** and these writers should all be fired or relegated to writing for Family Guy as apparently they just love to rehash tired old cliches. I didn’t give any thought or care for particularly any character in the game as none are very memorable and all of them are one dimensional and show no growth outside of Jin. Don’t waste your time unless your a fan of something you’ve seen a million times done better in almost any medium. Even the Japanese aesthetic runs thin and gets boring and bland a third of the way through the game. 100+ hours of wasted time in the most tedious dull and underwhelming story I’ve ever experienced which is a shame because it started off so strong with epic battles, learning stealth and tons of techniques but it just grinds to a damn halt and I’m struggling to find a reason to care in the slightest for the well beings of anyone. I’m more sympathetic to the mongols at this point and want all of Tsushima to just be killed off. Here’s hoping that’s how the game ends with everyone dead because it certainly has bored me to death.

    Playing this after TLOU2 is a bit difficult. Seems it’s taken a more arcade slash path, rather than a deep and serious view into the genre.

    The combat quickly gets repetitive compared to the masterpiece that is Sekiro. The open world is nowhere near Red Dead Redemption 2 levels. I take offense seeing the game have 9.1 in grade.

    Ghost of Tsushima is what they call "Assassins' Creed Japan" we craved from Ubisoft but never got 'cause Ubisoft is since long killed the AC franchise after altering it's slealth gameplay.
    You might call it the RDR2 of Japan, and you would be half right.
    Welp, for me it's just another Playstation open world game like GoW4 and Horizon BS Dawn. Lets start reviewing, shall we? So...

    You might call it the RDR2 of Japan, and you would be half right.
    Welp, for me it's just another Playstation open world game like GoW4 and Horizon BS Dawn.
    Lets start reviewing, shall we?

    So... let's get one thing straight, the story is as good as you want to think.
    It's basically the "Oh, following the Bushido Code is no good when your enemy give 0 f*cks about it" so you basically become a Nin- sorry "GhOst"..
    Funny thing is, the game actually lets you freely to choose you style of Combat.

    - "Samurai Mode" which is combat which has potential but its buggy 'cause they had to put the money into the "open world" BS
    - "The Ghost" which is you basic Farcry 3 skills, only this time the enemies are dump in some cases (sometimes they see a comrade's corpse and don't react :/ )
    - And technically Archery, which is way to good in this game since you get easy headshots with the slow-mo

    Anyway, even if you choose to NOT abandoned the Bushido code, the game will regard you as the GhOst 'cause why bothet making branches.
    Why bother? well that's easy, much like GoW4, GoT also thinks that havin' mediocre feature from every genre will make the game better.

    And let's not forget the amounts of ToDos in this game to keep you busy and make you like you money's well spent in this game, yay, I really wanted to play 40+ hours chasing foxes, birds and goddamn outposts.

    Some of you might say "but what about the side quests with the mini stories? with the characters you meet along the way?" to which I say...
    What about them? Do you remember every single time you had to walk around and talked with them? and strolled with them?
    Was it worth it to see your character standing still, talking to the side character? Don't you want to see a cutscene that shows way more character personality? And I ain't even a story guy in video games, because you know... I want to PLAY, not read a "script".
    By "script" I mean Cory Barlog's vision of a "video game" leaving the game out

    Before I go over to my main critic, I got thing to say to this game. Did you really have to "uglify" the Japanese women?
    Especially the Mikos, which look like native Americans. Where's my Kikyo dammit XD? That's pretty Woke move you did there....
    But seriously, but why did you make the Mikos look so ugly? Googling Japanese Mikos finds me YOUNG (not old sucker punch) women usually look good and cute.
    But no, let's appeal to the Woke BS, and put in Old hags, stuck up **** (yea, **** Yuna, her character is not in the slightest acting Japanese) or just plain ugly.
    Hugh... *sign* I finally released my anger on that part.

    But you know, with all the hate I bring to this review, I actually some pros for GoT.
    - The sword stances are very Unique for me.
    - The movement is good
    - And the game does have a charm, much like AC1.

    The main problem I have with GoT is the fact that it had to be another dull open world game that doesn't even try to make it interesting.
    The exploration is still boring. Yes I though that the "guiding wind" would solve the issue as well, but as it turns out, it's still forces you to open the map menu, select the point you want to go, and go. It's just that now you can actually look at the fields' and forests and not stare at a mini map.
    But that still defeats the whole purposes of exploration and navigation which are suppose to be the building of making a fun open world.
    And even then, riding with you horse from A to B is still dull.

    So you know what, maybe it's time Playstation "exclusives" will stop the open world crap and focus mainly on their gameplay.
    Because here's the potential I see in GoT, which is the combat stealth.
    If SP developed linear levels that let them to design interesting combat areas, they would have surely improved the gameplay.
    Instead of polluting an open world with boring ToDo list I have seen in other million open world trash games... you know..

    So here's my ending statement. Wake me up, when clunky combat in video games is ancient history.
    Or, Wake me up, when open world games actually have no compress to guide you and the exploration is apart of the main gameplay.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Previously.. the PRESS & most of the MEDIA overrated a lot TLOU2, & now its counter is overrating a lot to this game too, but whatever...
    -With regard to historical events.. this game seems to have been developed by a bunch of children with crayons; Examples.. Lord Shimura literally mentions the "Bushidō" on several occasions, something that was just known as such from Edo period {1603–1868} onwards & this game takes place during the Kamakura period {1185–1333}; The Japanese swords of this game are literally called "Katanas", like Jin's "Sakai Katana", when the Katanas just started to be produced during the Muromachi period {1336–1573}, the type of Japanese sword produced & used during the Kamakura period {1185–1333} were the Tachi { 太 刀}, but not the Katana.
    -It has Haikus.. which only began to exist as such from around 1644, with the creation of the Hokku.
    -It has very good graphics, but that really is something that has never interested me.. since I like to play games, not to play movies!
    -The gameplay of this title is AVERAGE at best, in fact, one can't even LOCK-ON the enemies during combat.
    -Regardless if you decide to follow the PATH OF THE WARRIOR or not, the MC always uses the same main weapons.. that are his Sword & a Bow, so you cannot even use the weapons of the enemies or a dual-wielding fighting style.
    -It's just a typically open-world game with a lot of useless padding & filler to do, like the Haikus.. which are BORING af & that didn't even existed back then.
    -The title does not offer anything new to the table either.
    -It's plot always unfolds in the same way, regardless of whether one decides to follow the PATH OF THE WARRIOR or not.
    -After one decides what to do with the MC's uncle the ENDING or OUTCOME is always the same & post-END play is always the same..!

The game itself is soapy, but there are many beautiful landscapes, in general, beautiful. Fighting in the first part of the island is revealed, then nothing new, boring. The parkour animations are terrible. I liked composing hockey and fighting one-on-one with named enemies. Expand

    Overall, amazing game. A couple of notes to be aware of though; the programming is not top notch. the flaws aren't as noticeable on Hard, but really shine through on Legend difficulty. Poor hitbox design, enemies using unblockable attacks teleport to your location even if you're 20 feet away. Also, the stagger mechanics leave alot to be desired. I'm not referring to the multiple stanceOverall, amazing game. A couple of notes to be aware of though; the programming is not top notch. the flaws aren't as noticeable on Hard, but really shine through on Legend difficulty. Poor hitbox design, enemies using unblockable attacks teleport to your location even if you're 20 feet away. Also, the stagger mechanics leave alot to be desired. I'm not referring to the multiple stance system they have in place to stagger their guard break, but moreso, you could hit an enemy dead in the face for 90% of their hp and they just continue to react as if nothing happened, but god help you if you get poked in the toe while midair, as your body ragdolls to the ground and has immeasurable trouble standing up after. I'm not going to get into a 'realism' debate in a game where 1 man is literally chopping down armies, but seeing as how Legend difficulty wasn't added to the game for several months after initial release, it feels like the game devs Had to know that the flaws were there, but decided to just let them go with a "Eh, it's good enough" attitude. Also the targeting system is a bit of a joke. Both of them. You can choose to move your analogue in the direction of the enemy you want to swing at and hope the game registers which enemy you're selecting when you're surrounded by 20 enemies, or activate the targeting reticle system and deal with all of the camera issues that follow. Not to mention, there are times where all of your opponents will be directly in front of you when you're charging an attack, and for seemingly no reason, your character will turn around and walk in the other direction before unleashing said attack, leaving you completely defenseless and swinging at air as the mongols just walk up and bury a sword or spear in your back. But wait there's more. You *Do* at some point get an "unblockable" attack of your own after completing a quest, so now you have at least 1 attack that comes close to the **** your opponents have access to, but at best, all its good for is breaking an enemies guard and just leaving them temporarily staggered. Which is a pretty big **** difference from the unblockable attacks your enemies get, which blow through your guard, can't be parried, and also kill you in mostly 1 shot. Kinda pathetic really. Especially when your enemies can (and due to poor programming, WILL) spam those moves 6 times in a row on occasion.

    So, i Know i didn't go into the things that I liked about this game, because once you start playing they're all pretty obvious. The combat, for all of its flaws, can be excused on normal and Hard, and is occasionally satisfying, even if it becomes repetitive after the first act or so. The cooperative play was boring, linear, and unintuitive. Just know ahead of time playing on the hardest difficulty isn't difficult because of the skill level it requires, but the fact that you're fighting against the laziness of programmers that clearly refused to fix a laundry list of mistakes.

    Oh, and you can't skip cutscenes. It's 2021, and this game doesn't allow you to skip cutscenes. That's a massive red flag in my book. I'm understand that some basement dwelling nerd wrote a story that he was super proud of, but that doesn't mean I wanna hear it. If someone had told me before I bought this game that the cutscenes were unskippable, I would have ignored it entirely on principle. It's 2021. Game Dev's everywhere, get your **** together and make cutscenes skippable. We don't all wanna be stuck or held hostage to your **** storyline. For **** sake, at least make it an option, and if your story is any good, we'll pay attention.

    Overall it reminded me of the first Assassin's Creed game. The start of a new series which clearly has massive potential, but just too repetitive and monotonous to want to invest days and days worth of time into its completion. I'll still look forward to future releases in the franchise but, for me, this one missed the mark.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is average. Nothing really special about it at all besides the guiding wind. None of the characters are particularly interesting and neither are some of the plotlines. Traveling the world is really boring and typical of many open world games. You set a waypoint, use the wind to guide you and 8/10 you'll run into a group of bandits or mongols to fight. There are enemy bases and fox dens to stumble across as well, along with hot springs, etc. The graphics should not look as off as they do. This is suppose to be the PS4's last big game and it looks like this? Gameplay is fun but generic and standard. Nothing new there. Animations seem like they weren't finished. Weird glitches like npcs bouncing up and down in corners. Facial animations are bad, and the words dont even sync with the mouths of the characters half the time. There are dialogue options that pop up sometimes, but you can only choose between 2 statements and no matter which you use, it doesn't have an effect on gameplay, the story, or even character dynamics.

    This game has been hyped to hell and it really isn't anything special. It plays and feels similar to Assassin's Creed pre origins, however, unlike those Assassin's Creed games, Ghost of Tsushima doesn't have intriguing characters and it doesnt have much of an engaging story.

    Ghost of tsushima is the most overrated game so far this year. For every thing sucker punch has gotten right with their new IP they've completely missed the mark on two others.

    Some examples:

    1) An incredibly complex and well crafted progressive combat system. The problem here is that the game is so painfully easy on even the hardest difficulty that there is almost no need for such a combat system making it a waste of effort on the developers part. The only times i died after the first couple of hours has always been due to the camera issues. Which brings me to the second problem with the combat...the absolutely horrible camera angles. All the enemy types and boss fights can be breezed through with absolutely no effort whatsoever, as long as the camera doesn't decide to screw you over. Indoor fighting? Out of the question. Coming close to any object in the world mid fight? Completely blocks the camera. You dodge an enemy and get behind him? Better hope you can turn the camera fast enough before he counter attacks. And the list goes on and on with the camera issues.

    2) The world is incredibly well crafted both graphically as well as exploration wise. The navigation mechanics are very original, unique and unlike any other game. So what's the issue here? Well if you want to make an aggressive build for you character you get all the best gear that you need in the first 3 hours of the game. Effectively making any exploration for better gear obsolete. This turns the exploration into nothing more than xp farming to get new skills unlocked. Which are all skills that make an already incredibly easy game even easier.

    3) The story is very well written when you look at the dialog and character development. The English voice acting isn't top of the line by any means but is more than adequate and far above the average for most games. But every step of the way when progressing through both the main storyline as well as the side quests, more and more plot holes are added. And worst of all, everything is extremely predictable down to the tiniest details. You will see everything coming from a mile away. Not just simply with the main plot twists, but even within each individual dialog between characters you can predict every single sentence that will be said before they actually say it.

    Overall great potential that completely missed the mark

    While difficult at first, I'm really loving the combat system. It's a combination of God of War and the Batman Arkham series, if that makes any sense. You can't just button mash your way to success. The storyline is about as good as you could expect for any open world game. Which is acceptable for me because this isn't necessarily a story-driven game. It just gives you a reason to explore the beautiful environments that this game presents, in all honesty I really don't even need a reason. This game has the best photo mode of any game on any console ever. It's not close. I've been playing this game for just about 3 days, it gets better and better. this is a must-buy for any fan of open world Games.

There is a black and white mode, but who cares? I don't want to play grayscale games on my Ps4 pro and my LG OLED. The lack of originality, the lack of subtlety, the tackiness... just makes the game of poor quality. Especially compared to The Last Of Us: 2. The latter game has so much thought and detail put into everything. I think that game might have set the bar too high for games now. Ghost of Tsushima feels lazy, boring and repetitive. Too bad.

    GOTY without a doubt..the story, the side quests, the characters, just awesome. One of the games where you can just get lost in it.

    Is there anything more gratifying than mowing down a heap of Mongolian soldiers with Ghost Stance?

    I submit that there is not!

    The game is good, however, it becomes repetitive at times. You feel like you are repeating the same random encounter over and over and freeing the same hostage over and over as they have only about 4 characters that look different each time. Same goes for liberating each village or farm, same goals but hardly any rewards except the minor increase to your legend status.

You feel like you are repeating the same random encounter over and over and freeing the same hostage over and over as they have only about 4 characters that look different each time. Same goes for liberating each village or farm, same goals but hardly any rewards except the minor increase to your legend status. There is little to no interaction with the people around you, they are invincible to your actions except for the odd option to speak to them. Having to change your stance each time during a battle can become frustrating as it kills the flow of battle and if you try to stay in a stance it stops the game completely until you change it. Switching between bows and throwing objects is also frustrating as it takes time and again takes away from the flow of battle. Another annoying addition is the constant adding of charms that are the same, you can end up with 5 or more of the same charms after completing different fox shrines or quests. What's good about the game is the stealth you can choose to follow or the head on attack.. the sword fights are good and the moves are plenty to choose from. Assassinations can be quite good, especially the jumping assassinations or multiple assassinations. The spectacular views in the game are also an eye opener. The standoff option is quite good and tests your reaction skills. The game as a whole delivers on it's scenery, stealth, assassinations and sword skills. It fails on it's lack of interactions with the environment, people, stance interruptions, repetitive fights/encounters that give out the same results each time, it's half decent storyline and it's lack of different people that more less look the same each Time you save them on the road or meet them in a village. It's constant ecounters with bears that see 2 people trying to kill it. It's general repetitive quests and encounters. Expand

    Great game.really loved the environment and the combat. Nothing comes close to this game when it comes to story and combat and probably even graphically.

    Boring story, very boring side quests but the combat system is okay. There are too less details in this game and it seems that sucker punch didn't pay any effort

    GoT is an absolutely beautiful game. The story is also good, with a decent amount of variety in side missions, and a good supporting cast. There's some depth here. But now we have to discuss the bad, and it almost ruins the game completely-THE COMBAT. Despite not being very difficult, combat is a mess. The camera is HORRENOUS.

There's some depth here. But now we have to discuss the bad, and it almost ruins the game completely-THE COMBAT. Despite not being very difficult, combat is a mess. The camera is HORRENOUS. You'll often find yourself dying because all of a sudden, there's a tree or cliff obscuring your view of yourself in combat, so the enemy dices you into pieces. Water stance is supposed to be effective against shield enemies, but yet it usually takes no less than 20 triangle presses to break their guard. Then, about half the time when you're ready to perform an assassination, you press square like it prompts you to, you'll just quick slice at him instead, engaging in normal combat. Also, when you, say, press triangle and circle at the same time to perform a Heavenly Strike, with full resolve, you'll do nothing and get diced up by the enemy. And rolling? Don't even bother, you'll either roll completely the opposite direction of where you're aiming, or roll so far out of the way, that you're nowhere near a position to counter. None of that would really be a game killer if even at full sword upgrade, you were still severely underpowered. A beautiful and well thought out game ruined by severely flawed combat. I didn't even mentioned that the enemy combatants are blessed with 8-12 hit combos, while you're relegated to maybe 3 or 4. Expand

    Beautiful graphics but underneath it all is a game that is immensely boring and bleak. I am an rpg player and I love my souls games. Also liked the Nioh games as well so I thought this could be cool as well… If you’re into graphics then go for it, but if you really like rpg’s like me this is NOT the game for you.

    Best game in the history of video games. It’s like an assassins creed without the billion mini-worthless mission’s. Takes 30hr to finish. Just perfect. A masterpiece.

    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.
