    Probably one of the greatest games of the decade, nothing else comes close.

    Amazingly beautiful world and satisfying stylish combat. Just being a ninja/samurai and exploring the world is what this game is all about. The story and side quests have mediocre writing in places but also great moments especially later on in the game and the Mythic quests. The beautiful visual style and art in this game makes up for any other shortcomings.

    Un extraordinario juego con una fuerte ambientación de la cultura e historia japonesa. Historia profunda en la cual se siente la frustración de un pueblo oprimido por la invasión Mongol, crudeza de esa época con enemigos tanto invasores como los del mismo pueblo que se convierten en criminales que buscan sobrevivir siendo traidores vendidos al bando enemigo o simplemente por necesidad. EsUn extraordinario juego con una fuerte ambientación de la cultura e historia japonesa. Historia profunda en la cual se siente la frustración de un pueblo oprimido por la invasión Mongol, crudeza de esa época con enemigos tanto invasores como los del mismo pueblo que se convierten en criminales que buscan sobrevivir siendo traidores vendidos al bando enemigo o simplemente por necesidad. Es ahí cuando nuestro héroe que no es un todo poderoso desde el inicio tiene que pasar por una y mil aventuras para fortalecerse a sí mismo y por ende reunir un grupo para poder liberar a la isla de Tsushima. Me encantó el juego, es bastante filosófico y como es basada en la cultura japonesa valores como el honor, lealtad y esfuerzo son muy frecuentes. Para mi el juego del año, además de ser un juego que procura ser neutral en las cuestiones de corrección política, pero bueno aun así hay un personaje que es debido a la presión de los medios tuvieron que poner de la manera mas forzada para convertirla en bisexual aunque era casada y con hijos, fue super forzado pero solo fue el 1% del juego. Al principio tiende a ser un poco monótono, pero a medida que avanzamos la historia y fortalecemos a Jin, el juego se vuelve super divertido. Cómprenlo sin pensarlo dos veces, un juego extraordinario.… Expand

    Am i missing something with this game? Story is bland.. Graphics are OK not as good as say AC Odyssey or Tlou2.. The missions are boring and repetitive and the main character is so dull it makes me want to fall asleep.. Its a average game.. Not bad but not exactly good either..

Having played some passt Assassin's Creed games, which somehow I immediately connected to this game, and hearing the term open world, I wrote it off as an other generic Ubisoft-like experience. Gather this, explore that, rinse and repeat. The only thing that kept me slightly more interested was SuckerPunch's previous titles such as the Sly Cooper and Infamous which although they didn't blow me away I fairly enjoyed. Yet after looking further into the combat system from curtain trusted YouTube channels and being a big fan of the Japanese culture I thought I'd give the game a chance. I spent 70€ (PS Store) and jumped in hoping that my hard earned money and time I'll invest won't go to waste. Damn, the opening, these amazing graphics! "This could be something special" I thought. "Now if only this stays as amazing as the opening we've got in our hands something real good". And it did. Beyond the beautiful landscapes and the minimal hub wind based ways of getting to your next objective lies a satisfying combat system that doesn't become boring (at least for me playing in hard mode). The game feels fluid and tempts you to explore, to discover different gear and attires to customize your character as you please. It throws you into unexpected situations that puts you in the shoes of how samurai had to always be prepared for danger lurking. To cut it short they managed to find the perfect balance between an AC game and the realism of Red Dead Redemption 2 but somehow making it more enjoyable than both.
    Although it does have some flaws it is easy to look past them and highly recommend it. For me it's an easy 9/10.    … Expand

I regret not buying the collector's edition when I had the chance because I always thought the combat will be Dark Souls style, slow paced and tactical, but no. The combat is very fun, there are some boss fights that provided a good challenge as they required way more patience than your average mongol.

    The graphics and visuals in this game are maybe unmatched by anything. You always feel like you want to take pictures, it is simply stunning. If you are a sucker for particle effect like me, especially leaves blown by the wind you will have a lot of this while running through leaves or flower petals covered forests floors. There are several duels that take place in some amazing and diverse duel rings next to beautiful bodies of water of full of fireflies.

    There is also an incredible attention to details in some way you might easily miss but the cool kind of attention to detail, not the boring kind from Red Dead Redemption 2. The developers seem to have put quite a lot of thought it this game like you put in raising your beloved child. There are several videos on youtube showing this.

    I am still playing it but it will be probably my second game that I will try to get a platinum trophy for because like Zelda it makes you want to explore every corner of the world finding all its secrets and amazing hidden places.

    The game is not perfect, I would have preferred a little bit of easier world traversal, like being able to jump of cliffs with less damage or more climbing parts although fast travel is very fast and makes it easier to go from place to place. Also side quests diversity could have been bigger but the fun combat makes up for it.    … 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.
