    I replay this game 3 times and still not bored at all. I love customize my armor, the combat is fun and awesome, the view... Oh my God, the view, man. After Witcher 3, this is my most beautiful open world game.

    Played it until I finished everything 100%. This is an amazing game, great combat and gorgeous environment. Forget the wreck known as Last of us 2, this game deserves far more credit and recognition.

    An amazing game. Definitely the best ps4 exclusive this year. I love the story and the gameplay is excellent. Sometimes the graphics could have been more polished and other times they are simply breathtaking.

    The story in Ghost of Tsushima is having a mixed feeling from its player base, but for me personally, it has a very solid character base, which are both interesting and intriguing, main missions are amazing, as-well as your allies ‘tales’ (although short),but... the random side quests that you can find scattered around the map are just not interesting enough. They feel repetitive, uncreative, too short, and unmemorable in total, which is a shame truly.

    Enemy strongholds and camps are unique and hand crafted one by one, and it feels rewarding completing all the bonus objectives and collecting everything the camp has to offer. From technical point of view, i find it impressive that SP managed to deliver this amazing experience in a 47 GB package. I would say this is a very solid purchase if you find yourself loving samurai tales, or wanted Ubisoft to create AC: Japan (Ghost would be way better in my opinion).    … Expand

    After playing for a week, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima has the most enjoyable open world gameplay I‘ve ever experienced.
    There are multiple brilliant design choices (guiding wind, no unnecessary animations or things that would reduce the game flow) and the whole game is designed to fit the theme of being a samurai. I‘ve never been frustrated while playing GoT (looking at you, RDR2,    After playing for a week, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima has the most enjoyable open world gameplay I‘ve ever experienced.
    There are multiple brilliant design choices (guiding wind, no unnecessary animations or things that would reduce the game flow) and the whole game is designed to fit the theme of being a samurai. I‘ve never been frustrated while playing GoT (looking at you, RDR2, with your cool animations that get boring when they sum up to be hours of the actual gameplay and all the annoying stuff relating to riding a horse – by the way RDR2 is still one of the greatest games of this gen, nonetheless).

    Usually this game would be a 9/10 but it deserves 10/10 points for multiple reasons:
    – Having the most beautiful open world I‘ve ever seen
    – the best and most satisfying sword combat system in all the games I‘ve ever played
    – brilliant design choices that contribute to a fantastic experience
    – best photo mode & quickest quick travel ever
    And what surprised me the most:
    – The best quest and exploration system of all open world games, build around a decent story. It's literally the first time I've focused more on side quests than on main quests. In other games, doing side missions or exploring the world before completing the campaign disrupts the narrative experience. In Ghost of Tsushima, all quests are very harmonic. And the Mythic Tales are my favorite side quests of all time.

    If you want you can do some nitpicking, so here are the minor aspects with potential for improvement:
    – cutscene transition
    – enemy AI
    – lip sync (only relevant for english language)
    – storytelling could be more emotional (probably the biggest potential for improvement)
    – camera handling (lack of lock-on is not the issue, I'd say it's better this way, but sometimes you just see a wall instead of your fight and the sensitivity should be higher)

    Purchase recommended?
    Whoever is interested in or likes the setting or samurai in general, will love this sublime open world game!

    Thank you, Sucker Punch!    … Expand

    I cant see any game coming out this year matching how much fun I had in my 25hrs with this masterpiece. Infamous was the first game that felt next gen in 2014 to me so its quite fitting this gen ends with another sucker punch classic.

    It's a great game but it still has it bugs like any other games at launch overall the game is good the story isn't that much not like red dead redemption 2 or anything else it's the studios first triple a title they did a very good job. (Must play) I'll comeback to rate it 9 when the bugs are fixed edit: i came back and the game is aa masterpiece it deserves to be game of the year at least

    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.
