    Great game. Stunning graphics, cool gameplay, OK storytelling. This game does not insult intelligence of players like some other AAA games do.

    Amazing to see what Sucker Punch has achieved going from Infamous Series to Ghost of Tsushima. The game looks gorgeous. My biggest take is the absence of HUD, so you get to immerse yourself in the environment as the wind is used to guide you to your next location.

My biggest gripe with most open-world games is having to spend half the time looking at the mini-map and this game solves it beautifully.

    Also, there is no level gating, where you can't fight an enemy because they are 30 levels above you. The combat is fluid and really satisfying (playing on hard). The loading times in the game are only a few seconds, which is surprising given it is running on HDD and such old hardware.

    The photo mode is rich with features. The customization and charms are fun. I feel this is the game that everyone wanted an Assassin's Creed in Japan to be. Overall, I have really enjoyed the hours I have put into this game. Congrats to Sucker Punch on this great game.    … Expand

    The game is beautiful in every way, wherever you explore from the meadows to the highest peaks of Tsushima, it takes your breath away. One of the best exploration mechanics I've seen and it's fun, following the gust of wind to your destination, the golden bird to a point of interest or foxes to the Inari shrine. Combat is superb.

    An absolute masterpiece on the level of Witcher 3 and Breath of the Wild. It's very clear that Sucker Punch frequently used the word "fun" during development! And if you think there might be some kind of mishandling of Japanese culture, or even some kind of agenda, please direct your attention to the perfect 40 score from Japanese review site Famitsu.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the best, if not the best, open world game of all time.
    The scenarios are breathtaking and beautiful and the gameplay is smooth and user friendly. For me is the top contender for Game of the Year 2020. Thank you Sucker Punch for this marvelous game.

    One of the greatest games of all time, play in Japanese with English subtitles on hard (If you speak English) for full realism, absolutely should be GOTY, ignore the average "Critic" reviews, they're all just shilling for TLOU 2 giving GOT low/average scores to boost TLOU 2 scores, I have played both and Ghost of Tsushima dunks on The Last of Us 2.

    This game is incredible. The visuals, the music, the scenery are just stunning. The combat system is intense and never gets boring. Perfect combination of stealth and/or open battle or stand off. The storytelling is also just great, the way the quests are visualized and narrated just overwhelmed me. This is how you tell your story.

    The love and compassion SuckerPunch put into this game, is astonishing. Basically this game is an open world Samurai movie with you as the Hero. I strongly recommend this game for gamers.

    Pros:
    - Great setting in feudal Japan
    - Incredible visuals
    - Great music
    - Fluid and challenging combat
    - Simplistic HUD
    - Great and rewarding exploration
    - Great open world
    - Great storytelling
    - One of the best quest staging I ever saw
    - Intense emotional attachment to Jin

    Cons:
    - Some minor bugs/glitches

    I have to admit, I am a fanboy. I got the Platinum Trophy. But I simply can't think of anything tedious or bad in this game. Not one time in my 50 hour journey I had this well known open world feeling of being overwhelmed by the size and question marks on the map.

    Play the game! Cheers    … Expand

    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.
