    This game beautifully presents the Japanese culture while also focusing on Jin's Story. Even here in India it was very difficult to get a physical copy but it was worth the effort.

    The game is really fun and beautiful and there is much to explore. It really doesn’t do much to stand out though, in terms of narrative and gameplay. Stance switching is cool but it’s already been done before. The gameplay is almost too easy at times, though, and that’s my problem with it.

The gameplay is almost too easy at times, though, and that’s my problem with it. If you want a challenge DON’T turn it up to lethal and don’t upgrade your sword. Lethal almost completely defeats the purpose of upgrading and investing in stance skills, charms, and combos for your sword, so I suggest playing on hard. Once you stagger them on lethal, they’re done. Also, the lighting is horrible and blinding, at parts (pause screen especially). The duels are the only parts that actually challenged me. This isn’t to say it’s a blast to play and has a decent story. The side missions all feel like they matter and give you insight on the bigger picture of how this invasion affected everyone. The historical accuracy and timeline of this game is really cool. There’s so many moments where I just take in the immaculate beauty and take multiple screenshots. The photo mode is very very good. This game is what Assassin’s creed wishes it was. I really think it’s worth the full price and would suggest this to any player, just don’t go into it thinking you’re going to get a big challenge.… Expand

    *TLDR (No Spoilers)*

    First of all, i am a very casual gamer, there are no Platinum or Gold trophies in my collection. I play any game to get my mind away from things, relax, and immerse into the larger than life experience.

    "Ghost of Tsushima" felt like a breath of fresh air in the time of sequels after sequels.
    - Is the gameplay revolutionary?-NO!
    - Is the story is completely unimaginable?-NO!!
    - is the game Bug free?-NO!
    - is the game fun to play?-YES!!
    - Are the game characters interesting?-YES;
    - Are the game characters likable?-mostly Yes, it may and will vary.
    - Is the Katana/Samurai Sword combat any good?-I FREAKING LOVED IT
    - Is the Gameworld Nice?-OH BOY, HELL YEAH!!!!.
    - Will this game help to formulate a solution to fight real-world socio-political issues which are currently plagued the world?- NO, of course not, it is a game, for the solution you need to study in proper fields, like politics, sociology, psychology, history, biology, etc.

    Lots of people are saying it is not at all like Assassins Creed. BUT i think it is not entirely true, the formula in many ways based on AC series but GOT fused that mechanic very very nicely with its gameplay. GOT used various aspects from various successful open-world games, and that is not a bad thing at all.
    It is a big game, you can make it shorter if you want BUT the gameworld will gently push you, like a gentle breeze (Pun intended) to do the side quests, and the game will treat the player fairly to do that as well. As for me, i did not feel bored at all by doing the side quests, and the game environment played a major part in that.

    There are some cons off course, but that would be knit-picking in the grand scheme of things, BUT sometimes the combat camera may infuriate the players a bit (it did to me), as the combat is largely based on time windows.

    I wanted to give the game rating a 8.5, but it will be unfair if i rate it only 8, But as my own experience i think it will not be unfair to rate it 9 as this game got me stuck to it for all those hours. and after finishing the story will dive back into it again to complete some of the remaining side quests and hidden areas of the third act.    … Expand

    It's a good game but overall it can't be compared with the masterfully crafted Last of us Part 2 which was released a month before this. Apart from that this is like another repetitive Assassins Creed game. Good but nothing special.

    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.

Absolutely. A vast world designed for curiosity and exploring is a great start for any single player game, and don't worry about the visuals because it's got some of the best visuals ever for a game. although you will see a few dips in quality and framerate on the base PS4 it still looks and plays just fine. My biggest overall flaw with the game would have to be some of the stealth missions, they became annoying at times and took away from the otherwise great pace of the game. I'm not allowed to talk spoilers however I'm still blown away by those final fights, the game does something that isn't utilized in many other games for a final fight and although it's an emotionally tough fight, it's worth it. If the last of us 2 was like Thanos, an amazing game making you feel evil, this is like Thor, an amazing game making you feel like a hero. GOT is a better game than the entire Assassins Creed series and Assassins Creed fans should feel right at home giving it a playthrough. Overall, Sucker punch did a wonderful job and Sony got a great final exclusive for one of the best consoles ever. I'd give it a 91/100 and I sure hope the ps5 gets a 60fps version and a sequel one day.… Expand

    One of the best open world games I've played, very organic and well-built side quests. However, some choices in the rhythm of the narrative and the lack of technical polish in some aspects means that the game deserves to keep the note in the 80's ... still another excellent Sony exclusive, with the potential to compete for GOTY in a better worked sequence!

    The graphics are absolutely incredible. I love the design of how the world is your UI, hope more games utilize this idea. Exploration is fun but tedious.

But the biggest issue is the combat. It feels too easy on normal and unfair on hard. Part of this is the incredibly strict timing windows on things like parries and dodges. It's so small in some instances I think my TV's normal input lag is enough to make it impossible to react to, it must be predicted. I also really hate that dodge is circle+left stick instead of just circle. If you just press circle Jin goes into a stance where he's "ready" to dodge, but this just creates an extra step and more moving parts to go wrong.

    Overall, the game is really good and well polished, but I just wasn't having any fun by the end.    … 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.
