Overall it deserves 9.5 , but I will give it 10 here… Expand

Ну и не могу не отметить творческую сторону игры: хоку вызывает восторг и музыкальное сопровождение тупа кайф, поклоны и стряхивание кровяхи с клинка это вообще жесткий Флекс вощем покорило мое сердечко. А самое главное без чушни в сюжете, все понимают что идёт война, говорят о ней и о проблемах возникших из-за неё. Слышал вонь по поводу пафоса, но если бы люди хоть немного знали культуру то поняли что так жили(живут?) самураи, кодекс бусидо в помощь. Для постмодерна - пафос, для метамодерна - искренность и достоинство. Игра как произведение искусства, хочу пройти игру второй раз в режиме куросавы (фильмы топ). Пример того чем должна быть игра - искусством, а не потакание социальным трендам которым место на форумах а не в произведениях искусства. Советую посмотреть «самурай чамплу» там одного из самураев озвучивает актёр главного героя игры. 10/10 друзья, всех люблю развивайте бодхичитту и читайте нэмбуцу.… Expand

The main story of the game brings out so many emotions as you embark the journey of the main character feeling what hes feeling in moment of tragedy, honour, self discovery and revenge. There is also something addicting with mastering the way of the samurai or going with more nina-like tactis and trying to perfect both forms during combat. Overall this would be in my eyes a masterpiece. No real downside that would negatively affect my view on the game. Perhaps the only thing being that I want ever more content, even though finishing the main and secondary questlines will take you approximately 100-120hours if we include everything… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. What can I say? This game is excellent, it really is! The skill tree is intricate but easy to use. It is so rewarding when enhancing your character, whether it be his attire, his skills, enhancing his weapons, gaining new skills, etc. This game truly is a masterpiece!

    The story is generic, honestly but, ethical. The whole “you killed my family member” or in this case “you captured my family member” isn’t necessarily original, although it genuinely has no negative impact on the gameplay, or the story.

    The combat system is brilliant and extremely rewarding, especially when you block just at the right time and, your responsive blow is fatal!

    I have been hooked since I bought and to be honest, I held back, so I read the reviews. Personally, if I had bought it without reading the reviews, I would have been just as happy!

    An absolutely brilliant game and, I’d advise anyone to buy it. It really is brilliant!    … Expand

    This game is poetry in motion. I get completely sidetracked by the beauty of the world in this game. The game playes similarly to AC Odyssey but unlike Odyssey, this game is masterfully done and it respects the culture and history present in the game...unlike Odyssey.

    Excellent game. I've always been a fan of Sucker Punch games since the Sly Cooper days. And the first Infamous is still one of my all-time favorite games.

I read somewhere that Ghost of Tsushima is the real swan song of the PS4 because development actually began at the beginning of this generation. I'd assume right after Infamous: Second Son which was almost a launch window game. If that's true, it definitely shows. The graphics are realistic while maintaining it's own unique style. They are superb. Sucker Punch has proven to have a true mastery of the hardware. The same goes for the action and combat mechanics. The slower, more deliberate sword fighting remind me a bit of Bushido Blade and maybe even the earlier Assassin's Creed games. It does almost have an Assassin's Creed: Japan vibe going for it as well. I'm also a big fan of a minimized HUD and it's innovative navigation system. If I do have one gripe, it's that I'm a little burnt out on the open world, horseback riding, mark objective and clear out, cookie cutter template, but this does enough different to feel fresh and keep you playing. Although the game isn't perfect, it's definitely up there with God of War or maybe even Red Dead 2.… Expand

Soundtrack was serene, tranquil and tear-invoking at times. The story line was riveting and worthwhile. 10 out of 10 for me.

The game's length is perfect, it doesn't overstay it's welcome but there are plenty of side quests for those that want them. It tells a story to completion and in the end wraps it up pleasantly. I have a PS4 Pro with an SSD, load times are fairly short and only happen with fast travel or ending a mission, and that's c coming from a PC primary gamer with an NVMe SSD.

    The only game's fault is a tad sloppy execution on stealth. I hate stealth, but with a bit of patience and usage of equipment to boost stealth it is tolerable.    … 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.
