    GoT is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. The art direction is incredible. The gameplay is fantastic, and the sword fighting is one of the best I've seen in a game. I love samurai themed games and GoT is one of the best ever created. The game has its problems too, of course, a few bugs, yes.

The textures in some places are not that good and facial expressions could also be better.

    The composition of scenarios, a captivating story, a superb graphic detail. Probably the best game so far this year. Congratulations

    This game is a God damn Masterpiece! The world of Tsushima is so beautiful and is so diverse that there are so many beautiful landscapes that are not at all like other. It is so good that I purposefully waste time in the game so that I doesn’t end. You just have to play.

Unfortunately it's brought down by the fact that it is an open world and has a lot of busy work. It's not as bad as other open world games as the side activities are fun, but it can feel like there's too much to do at times. Also story is for the most part just fine. It's not anything special and the best parts don't come until much later in the game. Overall it's a great game. If you want a fun samurai game to play then I would highly recommend this.… Expand

    I'm really enjoying this game as I missed the old Way Of The Samurai games, even though this is not the same it's a very good replacement for that game. I'm hoping this leads to a way of the samurai revival. This game has wonderful graphics and I really enjoy the gameplay.

    I want to start by saying that this game does many things well. The environmental graphics are beautiful. Sometimes I found myself looking at how the sun penetrates the misty air. The combat is quite fun with this intense Japanese battle music pushing you further. Some action sequences were so intense and vibrant I couldn't stop saying "wow".

Sometimes I found myself looking at how the sun penetrates the misty air. The combat is quite fun with this intense Japanese battle music pushing you further. Some action sequences were so intense and vibrant I couldn't stop saying "wow". And the premise is pretty interesting, watching an honorable samurais' descent into dishonor. But all of this is drowned out by its severe repetitiveness. The story is predictable and unoriginal, the combat is so repetitive it gets so boring, the open world aspect of it is unnecessary and simple, the side quests are just the same thing repeated over and over, and the dialogue looks like two robots are talking to each other. There are more mistakes than this but I think these are the most important. Let me explain.
    1. The story
    The story has a good premise but it does it in the most unoriginal way. They don't get you invested in most of the characters, for example Norio. I hated Norio, he just complained and complained, and the voice is the most annoying thing, and when I finished his emotional side quests I breathed a sigh of relief because I didn't want to be with him anymore.
    2. The Combat
    This is one of the best parts of the game, there are some times when I was laughing it was so much fun, the music is pushing you forward to do these awesome combos. But it repeats. Again. And again. And again. The stealth gets so boring and the unstealth combat is just the same. They introduce new weapons and skills, but you use them a couple of times then it gets stale again. After 30 hours you wish it had more to add, but you only get one new weapon every time you max out your honor, then after 5 times of maxing out, you get nothing.
    3. Open World
    This is the worst part of this game. It has no reason to be open world. There are only 9 types of discoverable locations in the giant island. There is no reason to exploring when there are only 9 things. Every time I think im going to find something cool its always a fox den, or a haiku. Another thing, usually in other open world games everything is interactive, you can do what you want to the npc's, you can find so many types of locations, so many different missions, different weapons that do different things. In this game is you explode a bomb in a crowd of people they will fall around and scream for a little and then go back to what they were doing like nothing happened. You only get 4 main weapons. 4. compare to wild hunt, gta v, red dead 2, where you have hundreds of weapons to choose from. The random encounters are boring and make exploring a pain. There are only a couple types of resources to collect while exploring while in other games like rdr2, you can collect anything and in the witches 3 with hundreds of ingredients. Everything is simplified to the simplest form which disappoints me.
    4. Side quests
    the side quests are boring and uninspired, they are so similar and provide you with little reward for going out of your way to do them.
    5. Dialogue
    This reminds me of horizon zero dawn where the dialogue was so stiff and robotic it made me want to kill myself. The main character, Jin, talks in one tone and doesn't really laugh or do anything a likable character does. In games like this its good to have a character that you can at least relate to in even the tiniest way, but Jin is a legend who has everything given to him and never smiles. I am being a bit aggressive and overreacting, but it is still a problem.

    Those are the main problems but there are more. This isn't a bad game, it just isn't anything special. I still enjoyed my time playing and had so much fun in some parts, but there were many times where I had no fun at all.    … Expand

The game surprised me in many ways, from its beautiful environments, surprisingly solid story, and lifelike open world. This game is truly a love letter to the latest generation of the Playstation, and an amazing look forward of what's to come.

    PROS
    Graphics - Beautiful landscapes and scenery
    Story - A seemingly generic tale that was thoroughly entertaining
    Combat - One of the main draws to the game, and it did not disappoint, with the variety of tactics one can use
    Open World - Many things to do in the large, lifelike island of Tsushima

    CONS
    Choppiness - The game is, at parts, rough around the edges. It's not usually distracting, but can be noticeable at times
    Repetition - As with many open world games, repetition can lead to tedium. Be sure to diversify the open world activities that you do

    Overall, I rate the game a 9 out of 10 and would consider it along the lines of a masterpiece. It's a top 10 open world game in my book and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.    … 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.
