    I don't want to give the score 10 just quite. I'm 17 hours in. Didn't even realize there are 3 separate map locations! The combat is so damn good once you get the hang of it. The story is great, visuals are not a 10 but they are close. GOW Tlou2 and HZD look better, but this game I have not taken so many pictures. It's just a different level of beauty.

    Controls are very good Loads of content Brilliant boss fights The game causes you to think about how your gonna fight the bad guys you can't just run in swing away and walk out you have to be aware of your surroundings and your enemy type. There is so much more to this game it's defo GOTY. one of the best samurai games ever made.

    This game is so good that I need to review it, I never felt as immersed in a game as I feel in Tsushima. The game is a visual spectacle,I would be lying if I didn't say thats i have spent a few hours in photo mode.
    The combat is absolutely incredible, I really feel like a samurai in Feudal Japan. Sucker Punch offers an incredible job and deserves all the credits.

    Emotional and investing story, likeable protagonist, great combat and fun stealth mechanics when it comes to agility and skills etc. This makes you feel like you're playing inside of an old classic samurai film.

    clean screen without life bars and things like that, no lock on target for the fights making every fight a true challenge, no arrow pointing to our destination instead you just follow the wind, amazing variety of combat with 4 combat stances and alot of techniques and weapons to use, incredible secondary missions, loved the haiku's and legends missions, alot of variety in armour and swords, amazing views, best sunsets and moonlight in every game ever. the story is incredible and the exploration is realistic and unique. the photo mode is the best i've ever seen, allowing you to change time, create animated videos or amazing photos. its everything i wanted! Easy my GOTY

    Невероятно стильная и атмосферная игра. Хокку, святилища и горячие источники - лишь малая толика наполняющих этот мир деталей. Хочется исследовать его, наблюдать за ним, созерцая прекрасные образы золотого храма, утопающего в золотом лесу. Однозначно, одна из самых иммерсивных игр, в которые когда либо играл.Невероятно стильная и атмосферная игра. Хокку, святилища и горячие источники - лишь малая толика наполняющих этот мир деталей.

    A beautiful game. This game is very unique. I love when you use the Ghost mode you get flashbacks about that it is bad. Also in this open world you get a lot of rewards. The story is also cool and fun. Side missions are also fun to do. Love this game absolutely a masterpiece.

    I have literally joined Metacritic today just to write this review. I feel a little bit sorry for Sucker Punch to be honest, they have made a masterpiece of a game and a few reviewers have gave it average scores. These scores seem to be based on such minor niggles. One of the reviewers had scored this years ff7 remake higher which quite frankly is a joke. Ff7 remake was a good game butI have literally joined Metacritic today just to write this review.

Ff7 remake was a good game but was content filled with some of the most boring gaming I have experienced in a decade. Ghost of Tsushima is in the same league as Zelda breath of the wild. The combat is amazing and rewarding, the game world is detailed and engaging. Don’t let the professional reviewers average Scores put you off this is one of PS4’s finest. Expand

    I’ve never played something like this on Play Station. An amazing proof that it is not wise to believe the critics some times. Game of the Year. Its a little bit like Zelda. 11 out of 10.

    It's a totally amazing game and another great Playstation exclusive.
    Its setting and incredible graphics make you stay fascinated and wanting to play the game more.
    I give it a ten because with what little I have played I have realized that it is a masterpiece.
    His photo mode is the best.

    Absolutely love everything about this game. I suggest playing on hard for the most enjoyable experience. It's such a beautiful game that I get distracted extremely easily doing side quests and exploring to such an extent I spent 30 hours in act one. Could not have asked for a better way to end the ps4 generation.

This game has brought back my respect to PlayStation, after the last of us 2 I was really disappointed on the way they handled the franchise but this game Blew my expectations. The creators and developers behind this game created something amazing and they got my praise. This is truly the game of year.

    Story was visually great; Some of the side quests had a little repetition.( Too me) The way the wind would guide you to your destination was fascinating. All around a great game because i got it for the story. Worth the money to play for story.

    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.
