As a Playstation fan, Sony kept his words that was a slogan "Best Place to Play". It was a fantastic generation for Ps4 players. We played many exclusive games which were candidate of game of the year! I am sure this game will be nominated as a candidate of goty as well as the last of us part 2.… Expand

    This game is amazing, its gorgeous, its fun, the story pulls you in and you want more. I find myself not wanting to put the game down after a few hours of playing. The game makes you want to explore the world and find out whats around the next corner or where the story is going to take you when you get to the next village. Such a great game thank you Sucker Punch.

    I don't give this a 10 lightly and I more subscribe to the notion that 10/10 scores don't necessarily mean a game is absolutely perfect - more that its exceptional in my opinion in and has pretty much everything covered, with only the smallest gripes you might consider here or there - and even in those cases probably boil down to preference.
    For starters I am really happy that this game    I don't give this a 10 lightly and I more subscribe to the notion that 10/10 scores don't necessarily mean a game is absolutely perfect - more that its exceptional in my opinion in and has pretty much everything covered, with only the smallest gripes you might consider here or there - and even in those cases probably boil down to preference.
    For starters I am really happy that this game didn't turn out to be a Dark Souls type of game, not that I have anything against those, just that for me personally I'm terrible at those types of games no matter how much I practice, and I'm by no means a skill-less gamer, Dark Souls style simply isn't my strength. For me the difficulty feels fair, you wont easily take out scores and scores of enemies in a smallish location like you can in Assassin's Creed games however with careful and thoughtful execution you can still mix it up in a small skirmish of enemies - mixing a range of attacks like jumping from your horse into a strike on an enemy, throwing an explosive, shooting a bow and/or unleashing a flurry of strikes with your samurai sword for example. There is no lock on to enemy targets and occasionally depending on terrain and situation this has worked against me in a pinch, however I can imagine and experienced many more problems with constantly having to lock on to enemies in other games.
    The scenery and graphics are gorgeous, its surreal going from a lethal furious burst of a duel or battle scene to the peaceful experience of looking around and seeing leaves floating about, wind blowing, sunlight glistening through the trees and rolling hills.
    I have heard some negativity around open worlds, if a game is a great game and has good content I don't see how that can't be done well in an open world and for me this game succeeds. There are no markers etc and instead you get an organic feel with wind blowing in the direction you have marked on the map or the current tale you are doing guides you in.
    The progression system is rewarding and you never feel like you haven't earned something or get given things too easily or even too quickly. I began playing this game while having a lot of unplayed games in my back catalogue, or half played games, so only a few hours in although I was enjoying the cinematics and style of the game I wasn't rushing back to it, something I get with most of my new games, simply from the paralysis of having too much to choose from, however as I kept playing it, a few more hours in and I just found myself hooked.
    I have read some criticisms - one of which was the voice acting and story not being great. While I don't expect any technical marvel of a video game to also have a Shakespearean story to match, I have by no means found the story not to be engaging or to not care about the characters in it. While the voice acting of the main character and perhaps others can sometimes come across a bit bland, it could simply be a reflection of how they talked, the tone, and style of the time, its not immersion breaking to me to the point that I don't feel like the main character isn't committed to his goals. I highly recommend this game :)    … Expand

    I just cannot put this game down, It's been a while however, since the last game where you play as a Samurai. Last game I remember the old Way of the Samurai games but those were truly lackluster in my opinion. The story, graphics, customization options are FANTASTIC. The side quest go from eh to great, the best being the Mythical ones. Combat, hard to learn, easy to master.

    Visually beautiful---maybe the best looking PS4 (non PC) looking game ever.

    Story is fun, even side quests give you a different fun adventure.

    Characters are lovable. (I only wish there would have been some romance in the story).

    Great gameplay, similar to Witcher 3, Assassin's Creed, and Horizon Zero Dawn...only with a Samari slant.

    The Picture mode is the best ever, you can get lost for another 10 hours going around the map taking pictures.

    The enemies are sort of hard, but not too hard. Just when I get over confident and feel like I am invincible, I get massacred by some low level grunt.

    AND THE BEST THING...Load Times are literally 2-3 seconds. WHAT!!! Yes, load times are like 2-3 seconds and when you die it takes you right back to the spot where you died. You don't have to play the entire section over to get back to the point you died at.

    The music and sound is perfect and very beautiful and peaceful.

    Huge map, maybe takes about 40-50 hours if you visit every site.

    And the tracking system with the wind and leaves and birds and foxes is just so innovative and magical.

    Did I mention the cool Japanese/Samari clothes and hats you can wear.

    Really anyone who loves this style of game and gameplay will love this game. You can go gangbusters in and destroy enemies face to face, or stealth around and assassinate them, jump from roof tops or even jump from your horse to assassinate an enemy, or just bow and arrow them to death, you got explosives and fire bombs and just cool finishing moves with lots of blood, or throw some firecrackers to just stealth right around them. So many many ways to have "FUN" you will never get bored.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is, in my opinion and many others', the game that has provided light for 2020. I was expecting a great game knowing the company behind it, as well as it being a Sony exclusive, but not to this level. Not to go too far in-depth, every inch of the island you explore is thoughtfully detailed, and moves in a way no other game's open world does. What I mean by that is everyGhost of Tsushima is, in my opinion and many others', the game that has provided light for 2020. I was expecting a great game knowing the company behind it, as well as it being a Sony exclusive, but not to this level. Not to go too far in-depth, every inch of the island you explore is thoughtfully detailed, and moves in a way no other game's open world does. What I mean by that is every blade of grass you see, or petals falling from the cherry blossom trees, is moving cohesively with one another. This, as well as the fact the game runs in smooth 30 FPS 4K on PS4 Pro, makes for a journey unlike any other. No area (Examples: a pagoda, a riverbank, or even a wheat farm) feels lifeless, and exploring these areas never falls flat or becomes repetitive. Now, moving onto story, Sucker Punch also nailed this element on the mark. Instead of having generic Side-Quests like generic open world titles, GoT manages to craft each side quest in a way that it pairs perfectly, or even is a part of the main quest entirely. Even the "filler" quests in the game handed out from random NPC's also have a purpose, whether it's for future story dialogue or for new character connections. The combat can be praised just as much, taking slight amount of elements from Sekiro, and other action RPG's. Once again though, the combat in the game doesn't feel like a straight rip-off, because Sucker Punch found ways to include a stance system, as well as provide a chain/combo system to allow for moderate difficulty, yet not being impossible to master completely. I think I've gone on enough, but there's really nothing negative except for a couple bugs so far. None are close to groundbreaking, so my score is still going to remain a perfect 10/10. If you have a PS4, do not let this game slide past you. It's a masterpiece through and through!… 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.
