    One of the best combat systems ever. This is what Assassin's Creed should have evolved into. The open world is a little empty, repetitive, and generic, and I wish the game was a bit more challenging and you didn't become overpowered so quickly, but it's a fantastic overall experience. That combat!!!

    A wonderful game. Pkaying it is enjoyable, often being lost in its beauty scenery or the combats.
    Story is interesting and often rewarding. The sude missions, although after some tine a bit repetitive, are so interesting at the same time. Japanese culture well thought of. Happy to have fi ished it. Well done to the tean and its effords

    Absolute masterpiece! Music is dope! Gameplay is great! Story is simple but hard enough to take your attention from start of it till the end. Gimme more of that!

    It's the same old Sucker Punch open-world game with beautiful stories and enjoyable combat. Thanks, guys, it's the highlight of a pretty dim year for all of us.

    Cannot stop playing this masterpiece. So easy to get lost in the world which feels REAL and for lack of a better word, just seems right.

    Take 10 points as a basis - a masterpiece:
    - 1 point for a horse not able to swim;
    - 1 point for hacky animation of movement in tunnel; - 1 point for uniform and long animations of interaction with altars, ponds, dialogues.


    The plot is good, the gameplay is nice and the combat system is very good.
    The most important thing in the game is the atmosphere of feudal Japan.

    A fitting sendoff to the current generation. Game design tropes that have become typical over the past decade are refined to their peak in this beautiful technological achievement

    The storytelling of this game is incredible. It has so many side missions and they’re all different from each other. It’s also a pretty easy game so I recommend to at least play on hard mode.

    All around beautiful game and experience. Unforgettable. It gets you pumped with spectacular music and sound and intriging combat and brings you to a calm with amazing breathtaking visuals. It influenced me to read a lot, educate myself further about the cultures and places and times that the game takes place around ..if only school could have pulled me in the same way.

Also there is no hid during open world and there barely is during combat just your health and resolve. This also got Kurosawa Mode HOW COOL IS THAT Expand

Everything is almost perfect in this game, I just wish that the side content were more interesting like the witcher 3, but they did enough here to even out the score, This deserves a 9/10 but I will give it a 10/10 because of sucker punches growth and i believe these type of games should be encouraged and supported well done sucker punch.

    As a fan and interest of the Japanese culture, the Manga, the Samurai, the Art, Tattoos (half of my body is covered with a traditional Japanese tattoo), History and so on, I had high hopes in this game. Also I visited Japan twice so far. I bought an original Katana a few years back and have several books about Samurais and Japan. So I kinda know a bit about that country.

With that background, I loved this game so much. It has it flaws for sure, sometimes a bug, or a bad camera perspective ruined a fight. But, this game is about the moments, the beautiful environment, the story and the great and interesting characters in it. The design, the world, the fights and spirit is rly accurate. As much as I can tell as a fan of Japan. I think this is one of my top five games I ever played on the PS4. Good job Sucker Punch! Expand

It doesn't reinvent the wheel, but it still feels like it has its own identity and it holds up to the high standards of games like Rdr 2. Map is just the right size, with more than enough main and side quests. Sucker Punch didn't want to include all the interacting animayions, which made the game more fluid, less tedious with all the box-opening, plant-picking, which is pretty common nowadays. I hope they will make more games like this! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I really didn’t love this game. I thought it was a fun Assasin’s Creed game in Japan. The heavy handed combat tutorials(that will stop combat the entire game if you use the “wrong” stance) made the combat a hollow experience. I found the narrative incredibly obnoxious; it was so cool to stop combat to watch a scene about how dishonorable Jin felt he was being. The open world was interesting but overall not that stand out; the game offers very little replay value. By the end of the game combat is basically pointless because you’re an unstoppable force. The game was visually impressive and controls work; stealth is as much of a meme as it is in any stealth game. It was fun but not a console generation defining masterpiece. Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima es uno de los últimos juegos para PS4 y vaya juegazo que es, gráficos excelsos, misiones secundarias variadas, enemigos que mientras progresamos se vuelven mas difíciles, y a nuestra disposición el entrar en combate directo o matar a los enemigos en sigilo, gran juego de Sucker Punch, este es un juego que tienes que jugar si o si, de los mejores exclusivos de la consola.

    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.
