    Played the games main story over the weekend I finished it on Sunday and still played for hours yesterday the side content is just as good as the Jin's story and the main missions and complements the main content perfectly. Furthermore the game is beautiful and the lack of HUD makes the game even more immersing a must play for anyone down the line wandering weather its worth the buy.

    Ghost of Tsushima is everything I ever wanted from the game. Suckerpunch knocked it out of the park and I'm more than 15 - 18ish hours into the game and I've just been enjoying the beauty of the game. The Exploration is great, there's always something to do it feels like in the game. The combat is so fluid too. I am absolutely loving it and it's so hard to put down.

    It's been a while since I played an excellent game without politics in it. This is definitely a game worth playing.

    The game isn't bad and before I say any more, I do highly recommend buying this game because it really is worth it. Me giving it a seven is really only because at certain points can get repetitive.

    This game is awesome and the combat at first is just so satisfying and cool, but after a few hours of playing it does get a bit repetitive. At some point I do recommend you start to embrace the ghost aspect and become stealthy because it adds more to the game. Clothing and armor is all useful for their own reasons so depending on your type of playstyle, you wont have to worry about having terrible armor. Though the outfits due have a few cool things you can wear and modifications to add to them, the clothing options seem lacking. There's not too much to wear if you were expecting fully detailed customization. Also for some reason things do seem to be downgraded a small bit. Maybe due to technical limitations or maybe them finding something new to go by when it came to the development. Graphics are not the greatest and certain scenes you can see it looks more like an earlier ps4 title. There are also issues with frame rate drops occasionally and xertain instances where characters will freeze in the middle of cutscenes for a split second.

    Now the greatest part of the game is both the style of the world and Jin's storyline. You slowly push back the invading Mongols while trying to save and help the people of Tsushima. Side quests as well asspecial side missions make the game feel more open and fun. The game feels as though it borrows heavily from Assassin's Creed, but to a much lesser extent. You clear out forts and other mongole controlled territory and by doing so you clear more of the map allowing you to see more points of interest. However there is no hud so you must rely on exploration to find new ways to clear out the map and to upgrade Jin.    … Expand

Photo mode is amazing and has so many options, so much so i have taken quite a few screen captures already. The combat on normal mode, is engaging and tough. I think the most defining feature for me is the waypoint system. No mini map and you are guided by a blowing wind who is apparently the spirit of your late father. So far i have enjoyed this game thoroughly. Plus you can pet the foxes!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never how much I would actually enjoy this game until I actually played it. The gameplay and combat system is great and feels grounded. The visuals are simply amazing for an open world game. In addition, the loading screen times are incredibly short and not what I would have expected from such a visually pleasing game. The story was certainly good and I love how when you perform certain Ghost actions like assassination for the first time, Jin gets a flashback to the past about how Lord Shimura trained him with honor. Furthermore, the ending teared me up as I could feel the emotional conflict as the honorable Lord Shimura was ordered by the shogun to hunt down his nephew, or as he saw it, his own son. The decision at the end really creates a wonderful choice for players to either give Jin's surrogate father a honorable death or to spare him and let him live.

    The only things that I can criticize on are the grappling hook mechanic sometimes not giving the indicator despite it seeming like it should have and the long transitions from the end of missions to when you can regain control of your character. These minor inconveniences are just picky observations.

    The game's reward system for doing small activities is well-designed as you will never feel like you're on a bland, boring grind for only rewards that is easily obtainable elsewhere. Resting in hot springs rewards a health increase, bamboo strikes reward resolve increases, and many more. As a result, exploration doesn't feel like a hassle.

    Anyone who rates this game terribly clearly has not played through the whole game, had not learned what side activities they can do, and/or had a bias against a game that does not have any political agenda.    … Expand

    Un pur chef d'oeuvre, un dépaysement total. C'est de l'assassin Creed en mieux, la crème de la crème.
    Graphiquement rien a dire, c'est LE jeu qui clôture cette génération.
    Scénaristiquement pas folichon, mais l'effet y est. La fin est très cool!
    Gameplay bien dynamique.
    Ost très bien travaillé.
    Une pure merveille malgré tout ces défauts.

    The Ghost of Tsushima is one of the greatest games to come out for the PS4, the gameplay is fantastic with amazing graphics that compete with its own E3 demo back in 2018, the combat is some of the best I have ever seen in how fluid the motions are when fighting against each and every opponent you may come across and with how every “Battle” feels like there is something At stake.

The lighting is pure cinematic greatness without overdoing it with crazy bloom effects. Lastly another good idea the developers had was to use a minimal hud to really let you take in the architecture of the ancient Japanese world and all the beautiful trees and flowers and just let you take in the environment to let you feels like you are in a real time period it is not a perfect game as no game is perfect or anything in media is perfect it still is a very easy 9/10 for me.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is just fire. Yes, there is no LGBT propaganda in it, and **** with it, take the game The Last of Us: Part 2, where the main character is a lesbian. Foo it be that. I am against LGBT. And let's rate games not for LGBT, but for the fact that, well, really what the game is good or bad. If it comes to that, then half of the popular games are a hat, because they are not LGBT. And for those who rate games on the basis of LGBT, I want to say the following, drown yourself in the toilet.… Expand

    The game is fantastic in terms of both graphics and the story. Love this game so much!!! For a person like me who is devoted to history, this is a game you cannot miss.

    For those negative reviews, the accounts were created recently which just gave TLOU 10 points. You know who are they and who hire them:)

    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.
