    As an east asian I think SP did a good job on the story, art and culture design on this game. Way too many side quests that do not augment Jin's character development (compared to RDR2, in which whatever side mission Arthur Morgan does actually makes his personality change clearer to the players - take chapter 6 as an example). The few large scale battles and infiltration missions areAs an east asian I think SP did a good job on the story, art and culture design on this game.

The few large scale battles and infiltration missions are quite exciting. Overall this game got me interested and engaged throughout the game but not good enough for me to replay it (compared to Spiderman, or RDR2, or even Jedi: Fallen Order, which at least has a sandbox arena mode). Will rescore if an NG+ comes out with new features.… Expand

    This game is one of the best this year. I absolutely loved the combat. The story was just as good. It was a bit glitchy at first but not a major issue. The world is so beautiful and I can just get lost in it. A must play.

    what a wonderful game! I enjoyed every second of it and for the amount of content that I got and still getting *legends update* for 59.99$ is outstanding. other companies need to learn that and follow sucker punch

One minor complaint is that the open world activities can be a little luckluster sometimes, but the awesome rewards you get compensate for that.… Expand

    Один из лучших эксклюзивов Сони и одна из лучших игр в этом году. И уж точно лучше чем "Одни из нас 2", в которой влито конечно же тонны денег, но сюжетно все очень плохо из-за провала Нила Дракмана как сценариста и гейм-директора в первую очередь. Призрак Цусимы, несмотря на то что бюджет был не самым большим, получился при этом гораздо лучше.

И уж точно лучше чем "Одни из нас 2", в которой влито конечно же тонны денег, но сюжетно все очень плохо из-за провала Нила Дракмана как сценариста и гейм-директора в первую очередь. Призрак Цусимы, несмотря на то что бюджет был не самым большим, получился при этом гораздо лучше. И видно что разработчики вложили в игру душу и потратили каждый цент. Самое главное что Призрак Цусимы вызывает большой эмоциональный отклик у игрока. Сюжет простой, но при этом он выстроен очень лаконично и игрок эмоционально проникается к героям и событиям. Получилась очень красивая, драматичная и чувственная история.
    Игру нельзя назвать идеальной. Да, где-то может хромать техническая составляющая (в первую очередь лицевая анимация в кат. сценах), но при этом нам дарят просто невероятные по своей красоте виды древних земель Японии. Откровений в геймплее и исследовании тоже нет, но все сделано так как должно быть и все эти элементы работают правильно и в нужных местах. Призрак Цусимы, по моему мнению отсылает нас к старой школе, когда выходили самые знаковые игры которые были не без изъянов. Однако они были настолько хорошо сделаны, настолько имели свое уникальное лицо и шарм, что игроки легко списывали некоторые недоточеты и просто наслаждались добротной игрой. Призрак Цусимы это одно из самых впечатляющих и самых красивых приключений с пронзительной историей в этом году.

    Sucker Punch really knocked it out of the park with this one.

    Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible game. The environment of the game world is absolutely stunning, it amazes me with the level of visuals they can squeeze out of the now dated hardware. The combat is extremely satisfying and the animations are really top notch. It makes every strike of the sword feel weighted and purposeful.

    Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible game. The environment of the game world is absolutely stunning, it amazes me with the level of visuals they can squeeze out of the now dated hardware. The combat is extremely satisfying and the animations are really top notch. It makes every strike of the sword feel weighted and purposeful. It rewards those who like to explore with items that can be found to further customize Jins armor, the look as well as amazing vistas and scenery. The fact you can play the majority of this game without a HUD just further immerses you into the game world.

    But a good game is nothing without a great and engaging story and this is where Ghost of Tsushima really shines. The story is fantastic and emotionally engaging. It does a great job of emotionally investing you into the main characters stories and Jins challenge with his Samurai honor. I don't want to reveal any spoilers so I will stop there.

    I honestly can't recommend this game enough and it's an experience that will stick with me for a long time. I am just looking for excuses to play it through again, here to hoping for a New Game +.

    In the meantime I eagerly await the newly announced 'Legends' multiplayer add on.

    Sucker Punch, thank you. Your love and hard work are clearly obvious. Well done.    … Expand

    It is AN ABSOLUTE BLAST. I haven't finished the game yet, but EVERY single time I play, I play for way longer than I should cause this game is an absolute blast. It makes you feel like a badass blade master pretty early on, and in introducing new NPC types does so interestingly and plausibly (no flying shock troopers). This game is so much fun, everyone should own it, and for a first play through, this game is a must play. It hasn't made me feel anything at all (except that I love Yuna), but it is fun, and easy, and a good adventure action game. It's just a blast.

Further, the stances add a lot of variety to the game, having you change depending on the enemy type you’re facing. The weapons and customization options are massive! You get your money’s worth in he game. For the first time in a decade plus, I am going to do every side quest and get the platinum trophy. While missions can get repetitive, the world combat and story make me want to play all of it. This is the best open world assassins creed game ever, no contest. My favorite part about this game is the story and setting. This is a beautiful game, dealing with complex issues like war crimes, honor, and politics. The characters are very believable, with Sensek ishimawa having the most interesting story arc. This is a game we needed in 2020. Well done Sucker punch.… Expand

    Beautiful graphics with an immersive, interesting story. The characters are well written and are fun to watch. The gameplay is smooth, satisfying and very fun, especially the combat which is unique and complex. The navigating system, which uses the wind, is one of the best and most interesting I’ve ever seen. Buy it.

    Graphics: Amazing. The best I've seen so far on the PS4 (playing on the Pro). This was the first game where I enjoyed hanging out in the world. I didn't feel like I needed to rush to the next mission or whatever because I liked walking around and admiring the scenery.

    Story: I don't focus on the story in games much because they are usually pretty bland but I liked the characters in this game and I found myself actually following the plot.

    Ghost of Tsushima makes you feel like you're in a Kurosawa film. This game is rad. It made me feel like a bad-ass Samurai.    … Expand

    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.
