    This game has a taste of a good old samurai movie.

    +Combat mechanics
    +Weather,nature events,color palette
    +Charming atmosphere,Story and quests
    +ps4 pro performance in higher resolution mode.It really seems smooth for a 30fps game.

    -Its minor for me but some texture/details are not good in some areas,like water and rocks near water.

    Have you guys played AssAss Creed before? Well that's pretty much exactly what this game is except it features samurai. Combat is really fun until you realize that is just revolves around parrying and mashing the triangle button. Seriously, it's laughably easy even on the hardest difficulty. Story is pretty weak, predictable, and boring. And since it's an open world game, it's filled withHave you guys played AssAss Creed before?

Seriously, it's laughably easy even on the hardest difficulty. Story is pretty weak, predictable, and boring. And since it's an open world game, it's filled with tons of trailing missions and bandits camps, in case you weren't already sick of them. Still, it's a gorgeous world with some nice diagetic exploration, and the combat is fun for a bit, just too shallow.… Expand

    I must say right away - the gameplay is mediocre. Standard Ubisoft with towers. But the atmosphere is 10 out of 10. A beautiful and juicy picture. The plot is in the style of samurai films of old japan ... I really liked the game and deserves its assessment.

    Exceptionally fun game. Yes that’s right fun. Not political or trying to be a social commentary. The fact TLOU2 got in the 90s and this the 80s just goes to show the horrible direction games might go but show the love for this. It’s a game full of life and fun, exploration and wonder.

    The only negative for me has been the camera angle in some fights and the stealth which isn’t as good as it perhaps could have been. But when the combat is so much fun who cares? The bow is great too, especially the longbow. So satisfying.    … Expand

    This game is bloody amazing, I totally loved it. The graphics are amazing and the story is really good, I did have a little problem with the movement of the character while fighting but overall the game is amazing. This is a better Assassins game than the recent Assassins Creed game. Ghost of Tsushima is the best PS4 game of 2020. everyone needs to play this game.

    This game is like Assassin's Creed Origins' Japan version.
    -Basic and bad story writing
    -Good battle mechanics but if you want the cut the enemies,this won't happening.
    -Huge and empty open world

    This is an amazing game. It is beautiful, the world is details and fleshed out, the combat is engaging. The upgrade system is flexible and encourages one to explore every little corner of the map without making it feel like a grind.

    Is it perfect? No - there's little hitches here and there: the camera can be yancky at times, the combat targetting occasionally targets empty space,    This is an amazing game.

    Naughty Dog - THIS is how a game should be; not that depressing crap that was the Last of Us 2. Next time try spending less time subverting expectations and focus on just making a damned fine game.

    Sucker Punch - thank you for an amazing game. The Ghost of Tsushima is a game that people will love to play and will come back to over and over; not one that people have to force themselves just to finish.    … Expand

    I'm finding it's incredibly easy to invest my time and interest into this world. The characters, environment, music have all hit amazing strides with presentation.

    The only negative aspects are NPCs side characters that don't emote well during conversation. My only contention that's preventing a ten.

    Great game, graphics are nice, animations are a meh and the storyline/setting of the game is a bit boring in my opinion. It is a really generic bland game though. After you've beaten it there is not much to do and you can safely say you'll never touch it again. Cutscenes are really boring they didn't interest me in any slight way. Overall a pretty good game 7.4/10

    This is absolutely gorgeous even on standard PS4. And the game-play is great like a bridge between hack and slash and Dark Souls. Play it on hard, its challenging but not impossible ... bottom line its a great game.

    Good game, really good game. This game has interesting story, it is simple but one that Involves. There’re interesting mechanics. One of them is playing the flute. Also in the game gorgeous landscapes. I like playing this game.
    Also, the game has a very cool antagonist, who catches from the first minutes when he appears.

Pros: excellent AAA game overall it a must PLAY.. Cons: I was disappointed on hunting animals. Its great to have animals the world, but killing a bear all the time does get low, especially when there are deer and goat running around as well. You can kill the deer and goat but you will not get any hide from it. So i find that kind of lame. And there is no fishing in the game that was a let down especially with all the beautiful lakes and rivers in the game. If i could give it a 9.5/10 I would But I cant. Some people has it at 8/10, the right spot for me is at 9/10. It could be at 10/10, But I dont see it, at least this game didn't disappoint like the last of us 2 lol.… Expand

A balanced experience in the island of Tsushima, exploitation, fighting, discovering and even haiku writing leads to hours of joy. The photo mode is a mini game itself and I let you explore the visual part of the game and the sound score and audio design complete the stunning adventure in feudal Japan.

    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.
