    Absolutely a blast to play; such a fantastic swan song for the PS4. From the minimal HUD, to the absolutely incredible sense of exploration, there hasn’t been a more fun game to explore since Breath of the Wild.

    What can I say: beyond my expectations!
    Graphically beautiful.
    The Game-play is easy to learn and well mastered. The soundtrack is just Fabulous. (Masaka Dono theme is just WoW) The story is well written, I did not get bored even once even in with the little stories. A very realistic open world with no unnecessary or inconsistent corners. Tsushima Island was very pleasant to walk.    What can I say: beyond my expectations!

    Tsushima Island was very pleasant to walk.
    The characters, how not to speak about it, Shimura, Masako-dono, Ishikawa Sensei, Taka ... Yuna ... all equally charismatic with their own character, inhabitants of Tsushima, it was gratifying to follow their stories.
    It has been a long time since I had such a great gaming experience.

    This game is soooo big. There is so much to do. You have side quests, main quests, collectibles, etc. The combat is extremely fun and there are times where you genuinely feel like a badass samurai. I enjoyed the story a lot and they had a cool ending to wrap it up. Also the environment was insanely beautiful. There were times where I would just admire the detail of the environment.

    Amazing. I played 4 hrs at release, and 16 hrs the next day. I'm an old gamer, And I completely lose track of time in this game, it has me intrested and engaged. I noticed the real negative low score professional critics were full of bunk. Even if you really didn't like this game it's still at least a 75 or 80.

    Amazing game! The open world looks like a painting, it's so colorful and beautiful. I achieved the platinum trophy with such a pleasure and happiness that i wished the game had more missions to complete. The combats are simply formidable, cause you need to know which position to choose and the right time to attack. The story is no blockbuster but it's a nice and well done storytelling.Amazing game!

Absolutely. A vast world designed for curiosity and exploring is a great start for any single player game, and don't worry about the visuals because it's got some of the best visuals ever for a game. although you will see a few dips in quality and framerate on the base PS4 it still looks and plays just fine. My biggest overall flaw with the game would have to be some of the stealth missions, they became annoying at times and took away from the otherwise great pace of the game. I'm not allowed to talk spoilers however I'm still blown away by those final fights, the game does something that isn't utilized in many other games for a final fight and although it's an emotionally tough fight, it's worth it. If the last of us 2 was like Thanos, an amazing game making you feel evil, this is like Thor, an amazing game making you feel like a hero. GOT is a better game than the entire Assassins Creed series and Assassins Creed fans should feel right at home giving it a playthrough. Overall, Sucker punch did a wonderful job and Sony got a great final exclusive for one of the best consoles ever. I'd give it a 91/100 and I sure hope the ps5 gets a 60fps version and a sequel one day.… Expand

    I'm pretty surprised at the score here.

    So I played the intro section and a few minutes more and I was bored. Really bored. I just got an old Monster Hunter a few days ago and it was more entertaining in 5 minutes than this was in an hour. So basically this feels like a more boring, less fluid, worse looking version of Gujian 3. I have played a few hours of Gujian 3 and it has left me    I'm pretty surprised at the score here.

    So basically this feels like a more boring, less fluid, worse looking version of Gujian 3. I have played a few hours of Gujian 3 and it has left me wanting more . Ghost of Tsushima left me deleting the game.

    The game felt like a film with button presses and sluggish action. Now I can deal with this type of thing, I really enjoyed Beyond Two Souls but the character, this Jin guy, I didn't want to be him, he was so (and I know I'm repeating this word) boring. I just wanted him to get killed off. I love Samurai, I love Japanese things and this is a stunning game but that is it. This Jin guy was like an annoying little millennial **** of a Samurai. There is honour and there is being a bell end. There is a fine line and he crossed it. Jumped up and down on that line.

    GoT is a bit like pulling a model on a night out and getting her home to find out the beef curtains be smelling more like a 2 week old tuna butty than a prime cut.

    As if the immersion of being in the shoes of a character I wanted to punch wasn't game breaking enough. The PS4 started up its propeller every 30 seconds, sounding like it was ready to launch a NASA rocket.

    So if you want a historical Asian style game with good action and stunning graphics. Personally, for me, Gujian 3 is way better.

    I give a point for the bloody brilliant graphics.

    -9 for bad characters, story, gameplay and making my PS4 fan work it's ticket to the extreme. I don't really remember the sound being good, or bad. I'm guessing it was probably just OK. Maybe I just couldn't hear it over the frigging fan that was only recently dismantled and cleaned out.    … Expand

    Good Enough game. First off the graphics are gorgeous, the world of tsushima is thriving with colour and is just begging to be explored. The exploration is good with interesting side activities to find like the fox dens and the shrines. The combat is weighty and feels fun although gets a little repetitive towards the end as most of the combat styles and upgrades are unlocked early on. TheGood Enough game.

The armour sets are cool and styling out jin your own way is great. However my biggest problem and what really holds this game from being a potential 9 or 10/10 is the story and the quests. I'll be straight up I would say maybe 1 or 2 missions in the entire game really grabbed me. The side missions are boring and not engaging but what really sucks is that the tales missions and the main story missions are the same. The main villian of the game is bland and uninteresting. The only good thing is the relationship between Jin and Lord Shimura but this is a small part of the overall experience. Overall a fun enough time that needed a better script… Expand

    Phenomenal swords fighting mechanics provide an intense, gory yet beautiful combat. The game features a pretty and large open world filled with repetitive activities that share same qualities as the main story. It's the same problem I had with Mafia 3. Story is not bad, I enjoyed the relationship between lord Shimura and his nephew Jin Sakai. Very well written aspect of the game.

I felt for other characters too but they weren't present during main cut scenes that often for me to care enough about them. Cut scenes lack production value. You can clearly see the distinction between an important cut scene done with mocap and other cut scenes running purely on game's engine. Those other cut scenes look horrible and I'm wondering if fade in/out effect used so often in the game was implemented just so the game could load faster during an open world. Either way that was really annoying. Finally, birds and foxes shouldn't have appeared so often. It takes away the feeling of being rewarded when done so frequently.… Expand

    A solid 9.3 for me with the score being impacted by
    1: Japanese dub missing lipsync, had to play it in English in the end since it was driving me crazy
    2: Japanese voice sounds great but is too anime for me, the dialogue should be toned-down to reflect a less anime style and a more realistic tone.
    3: Minor score decrease due to some activities that tended to be a little repetitive but they pushed you to explore and view the wonderful world that SP created (I have made more screenshots than ever ~2 GB).

    This is a real samurai movie. Very nice and very boring. The story is also typical of such works - it is simple. Characters ... and again everything is like in a regular samurai movie. And this is not bad, in the end these are genre features.

    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.
