    It is heart breaking to see that a masterpiece like GoT has only gotten an aggregate score of 83 among the critics reviews which is not the score it deserves at all.

The 9.2 score among almost 18000 reviews from User score reflects perfectly how players feel about this game. GoT is fantastic, an amazing achievement from start to finish. It's one of the best games I have ever played and is only the 4th game I have ever platinumed in my life (2 others are also Sucker Punch games, shows you how much I appreciate this company). The critic focuses on the fact that this game is another sandbox game that is being tossed out to us every few months, etc... But this is not true. Sucker Punch has perfected the formulae and not one moment in my 100 hrs playthrough have I ever felt bored or wanted to stop. I always had this urge of wanting to know what's coming next.
    The combat is excellent and the more you play the more you will perfect your moves and technics. You have a large arsenal of Ghost weapons at your disposal and I felt the need of using them all during my encounters with the Mongols. They are all useful and needed in different situations. The stealth sections are very well implemented and fun, not tedious at all, and the different equipment you find throughout your journey (mainly armors) are needed for different playstyle. You'll have to use them all. The Skill tree is varied and assigning the right point to the right skill will make a lot of difference.

    The world, Oh man the world. What a wonderful island Tsushima is. The Graphics on the PS4 which is a 7 years old hardware are the best you'll ever find on last gen console. It is unbelievable that the PS4 can still achieve this level of details in 2020. You'll have to see it to believe it, provided you play on a 4k UHD TV, and on the PS4 Pro (my settings).

    The Story:
    The story is great and engrossing from start to finish. It tells the tale of a young Samurai who has to struggle when his island is being invaded by ruthless Mongols (I think in the 11th or 12th century) and their merciless leader Khotun Khan. Naturally, the story has a lot of twists and heart breaking moments that I won't spoil. However, it is very well written, well acted and captivating until the end. There are a lot of side missions that aim to show you the torment of the people of Tsushima during the invasion and they are all interesting. The game has hundreds of collectibles in the form of Fox Den to be found, Banners scattered around the world to collect, lighthouses to be lit, and dozens more. All of them reward you with different equipment/perks/skills etc.. They are interesting and equally important to find.

    The loading time is the fastest you'll ever find on a game of this scale on the PS4. In a matter of seconds you load from the start screen to the game. And during the game it is even faster to reload if you die or want to fast-travel. it feels like a next gen game. I don't know how Sucker Punch were able to achieve that. But this is also an indication of how much the game is polished and runs well. Bugs are almost inexistent and the game had never crashed once during my playthrough.

    tl;dr
    I highly recommend GoT. It is a highly polished, well written, well made game with fantastic graphics and an amazing world to explore. If you like open world games where you will sink dozens of hours of your life, do not hesitate and buy GoT.    … Expand

    The world of GoT is wrought with things to do and solid instances of combat. Where the game is dragged down for me is the story, where it is just as by the book as it is uninteresting. I had more fun going after the Platinum trophy than completing the actual story. I sold back this game because I knew I would never play it again.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Ghost Of Tsushima" es una superproducción, se ve nada más comenzar su aventura. Y lo es por diversos aspectos. El primero, por su ambientación. La Japón feudal, medieval, en combinación con el Imperio Mongol es una auténtica obra de arte. Cada escenario del juego es único, hermoso, realista y al mismo tiempo de ficción. Si bien no contamos con una ciudad principal como en otros juegos similares, el mapa está dividido en tres partes, jugables según el avance de la narrativa principal. Claro está que ha tenido que ser realmente difícil la recreación de la isla de Tsushima, pero el resultado final ha sido brillante, con un mapa para mi gusto idóneo en cuanto a tamaño se refiere (no muy extenso), además de estar "vivo" gracias a los elementos naturales, como el viento en los árboles, las hojas o la hierba alta. La banda sonora es otro elemento que ensalza aún más el misticismo del los escenarios y de su belleza.
    Jin Sakai es nuestro protagonista, un joven pero curtido samurái del clan de los Sakai, hijo del líder y sobrino del Señor Shimura (personaje secundario). Nuestro protagonista es un personaje elaborado, lleno de detalles físicos pero que sin embargo le falta una chispa para ser un personaje rememorable. No conocemos mucho de su infancia, de su pasado y de su evolución a samurái. Solo en algunos fragmentos o flashbacks se nos aparece de niño, en situaciones clave de su vida, las cuales a mi por lo menos me plantearon preguntas que no obtuvieron respuesta.
    El combate es increíble, brutal, con muchas animaciones realistas. Si que es cierto que el arma única es la catana para luchar en campo abierto y gracias a eso l@s muchach@s de Sucker Punch se han podido centrar en recrear el combate con catana. No faltan tampoco otras herramientas para el combate, pero estas se centran en crear o completar un sistema de combate sigiloso que envidia con el de otras franquicias. Además, la existencia de hasta 4 posturas de combate hacen todavía más único cada lucha librada en el juego, tanto en el mundo libre como en la narrativa principal.
    La narrativa es el punto menos original del videojuego. Aún así, no se trata de una historia nada original. Si que es cierto que el propósito o trama principal del juego es el exterminio o la lucha contra el invasor Mongol y esto hace que en prácticamente todas las misiones saquen a relucir la hoja de Jin para acabar con algún puñado de mongoles enfurecidos. Pero por otra parte, la elaboración de un antagonista como es Khotun Khan y la aparición de personajes secundarios muy bien elaborados hacen que la historia principal no sea sólo matar mongoles sino una evolución del protagonista; de fiel y honesto guerrero samurái bajo las ordenes de Shimura a un sanguinario y oscuro Jin, que rechaza el honor y el cuál dejará un final semiabierto con un cara a cara también con el Shogun de Japón.
    Es un videojuego que acaparará la atención principalmente por su atractivo y belleza pero tampoco deja de lado la elaboración de una historia interesante y original. Un gran videojuego.    … Expand

    Ghost of tsushima is a really good game. The set up is nice, the Art is awesome. The story is nice as well. The main quest is well written, but the side quest of every characters are way better.
    But it has some flaws. The open world is a little bit empty, because the game is a little bit too long. It is fun to find the first 10 foxes, but after 20, it's boring.

I also think the progress going from samurai to the ghost, is not emphasized enough. Killing everybody in the shadow or following the samurai code do not change anything in the game, not even some dialogues.
    The game is still good, but to be perfect it should have stay true to its idea, and not becoming a classic open world game that look a lot like a good assassin's creed.    … Expand

The graphics are beautiful and the story seems like it would be good if the gameplay didn’t slow it down to the point where the story takes second place to the poor controls and sluggish response of the combat.

    Another problem is the difficulty. The game is too easy in my opinion. But that's not really the point.

The game world is just so beautiful it is an orgasm for your eyes. I promise you that you will spend a good chunk of time with the in game camera because its just so beautiful. The story starts of well in act 1 but then flat lines at the portion of recruiting allies. But once you end act 1. The story JUST TAKES OFF MAN. And the ending OOOOOHHHH MY GOOOODDDDD. Its just written so well. And do not get me started on combat. IT IS BLOODY GREAT MATE. You are Jin Sakai a lone samurai and you grow the legendary tale of the GHOST. And mate the combat just bloody reinforces the feeling of being legendary. The combat is smooth and gory and glorious. You feel like an absolute storm running and slaughtering through enemy encampments and bases. Its is just BLOODY WOOOWOW. You also have the opportunity of completing mythical tales that give the player the opportunity to get mythical move sets in combat and mythical armor. And all that mythical gear and tales. SO GODDAMN WORTH IT MATE. It is absolutely amazing how a small studio like sucker punch can wipe their arse on a huge studio like Ubisoft in a genre where Ubisoft is a seasoned veteran. And SP absolutely SHARTED ON UBISOFT. I had very low hopes for this game in the beginning but I am glad that I am wrong. Well Done Sucker Punch you guys are absolutely Amazing.

    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.
