    This Game tells an amazing story of a samurai going rogue to protect his country and shows how far he is willing to go to achieve his goal. The gameplay is a 10/10 with plenty of mechanics to use and abuse for close and long rage combat and for stealth / head on attack.

    The sceneries are fantastic and the music is on point . It knows when to go wild and when to keep things calm. The game also offered it's players a free online DLC where you and a group of 3 can tackle survival waves or you and 1 more can attack legends in mini missions. Its honestly a game you should definitely check.    … Expand

    I usually find open world games a bit of a bore and struggled to finish Horizon Zero Dawn and it's dlcs due to the game feeling draggy but GOT has really drawn me in and definitely gets my GOTY. I have had no bugs or issues either which after the let down of Cyberflunk is refreshing. I won't even go in chat to play this game as I am so drawn into the story and want to pay attention to it all.

    It's a masterpiece. Stunning visuals, awesome combat design and a wonderful story based on a historical event. Of course the character and npc are all fictional, to a certain point, because a lot of the names are true historical names from that era.

    Now that's how you end a PlayStation generation
    ★★★★★★★★★☆
    Pros- Compelling story, immersive open world, extremely satisfying extensive combat system, rewarding missions quests and collectibles, sense of character progression, perfect soundtrack, extensive customization, innovative visual cues replaces a HUD, camera mode, can play the flute and pet foxes, and of course a great ending.

    Cons-
    Jarring combat camera, no option for wind and particle effect intensity, not the greatest character and animal animations, more variety in random encounters, some obvious yet admittedly hilarious bugs that will likely be ironed out in future updates.

    Summary
    Ghost of Tsushima managed to quickly become one of my most loved games. So much in fact, that I went out my way to pet every fox, climb every shrine and bathe in every hot spring just to platinum it. Sure there are flaws, but there is so much that this game gets right that it is easy to forgive some of these problems as they do not take too much away from the overall experience.    … Expand

    This game is great. Game of the year for me. It’s beautiful and the story is amazing. Compelling characters who you care about and a very well deserved emotional ending. Gameplay can be better in some areas but that’s why I’m excited for a sequel.

    Wow. Just wow. Suckerpunch is my favorite game developer since Infamous 1 on PS3. The actual game play in their games is second to none. Ghost of Tsushima is no different.

The graphics are the best I've ever seen because of the art direction. This is my GOTY for now. It's a tragedy that it does not have that "must play label" on metacritic while a low tier game like Last of Us 2 has one. Critics are definitely underrating this game.… Expand

    I just started Act 3. The game is very enjoyable but it has its issues. I love the different fighting stances depending on who you’re facing. The story is not great; it’s ok. Overall, it’s a solid 8/10 for me.

    After just coming off of a heavy experience like The Last Of Us Part 2 this just hit the spot.

    A mecânica de combate e stealth é bem satisfatória. A arte do jogo está muito bonita, tirando alguns detalhes micro, como pegadas no chão, a forma como ele se movimenta em escadarias e água que é bem feia, o jogo é sim muito bom.

    Also - the BEST looking game in HDR. I often have to spend good chunks of time calibrating each game’s HDR levels to go with my older Walmart Samsung - Tsushima is by far the best looking game for HDR and I didn’t have to move any sliders. Everything looks so natural (no too-black blacks and no washed-out, everything-is-in-a-fog look). Shadows, lighting effects - SPOT. ON.

    Particle effects - the best this generation.

    I honestly don’t know how Sucker Punch pulled this off, but if I was a game dev, I would be knocking on their door asking how the hell they made this.    … 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.
