    Gioco molto più giocato e meno scriptato dell'attuale generazione. Ha un level design abbastanza tradizionale, ma il combat system è molto divertente e l'open world ispirato ed affascinante. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo.

    Es un juego que te atrapa en su historia y sientes afinidad con el personaje. Tiene una progresión de dificultad que en ningún momento se torna monótono y da placer completar las manos siones secundarias.

    Amazing game. Story is awesome, combat is perfectly balanced, nice flow between present and flashbacks in the game and of course the game is absolutely gorgeous. Most beautiful open world-game ever made. You just want to go and explore everything. Sucker Punch nailed it. Gonna be my GOTY.

    I can happily say good bye to my ps4 and welcome the ps5 after playing this game!! It was amazing!! Astoundingly beautiful! And it removed the bad taste in my mouth from the last of us 2 and restored my faith in good enjoyable games! (probably never gonna restore my faith in naughty dog though, never buying one of their games again) While the game did some things PERFECTLY!

    I can happily say good bye to my ps4 and welcome the ps5 after playing this game!! It was amazing!! Astoundingly beautiful! And it removed the bad taste in my mouth from the last of us 2 and restored my faith in good enjoyable games! (probably never gonna restore my faith in naughty dog though, never buying one of their games again) While the game did some things PERFECTLY! It did do som other things at a mediocre level and I totally get it!! A game that beautiful, that good, that fun and enjoyable on such old hardware is bound to have some sacrifices The combat was superb! At the beginning i thought it may benefit from a lockon on different characters but after finishing the game I understand why they didn't The samurai combat is fluid and strong and you frequently one shot enemys and need the ability to move around more

    One thing i did find kind of hilarious is that the AI for enemys Isent that great but it gets better later on! I played the game on the hard difficulty and even then it felt really easy (this is probably because i do all the side quests first) The armour is also beautiful! Such nice designs and progression and dyes!
    This game could benefit from a more in-depth merchant-customer interaction other than upgrading your swords and bows - simmilar to the witcher 3 but not as big and indepth! The side quests felt like main missions on their own and i loved them!
    The main story was also AMAZING with a fantastic ending!! BUT! They could of definitely made it better! Alot better! Just little things!
    The flash backs with your uncle were such a nice touch and if those were implemented with other characters like ryuzo or your father it would of been great! A little more in touch with the story If the main story had built up a little more suspense it would of been fantastic!


    Honestly this game and how it was handled is a 10/10 for me, right up there with horizon zero dawn and god of war and sekiro and red dead redemption Its worth the price tag (this is one of the only games i say that about) Do not hesitate in buying it because you will love it, play it on hard difficulty for more enjoyment A few minority have said the game is racist This game is not racist and does not force any racist or political agendas (like the last of us 2) The Japanese people absolutely love this game (sold out there), the western people love this game, its depiction is respectful and does justice to japans beauty and history This is humanities history and having an interest in humanities history gives you the right to delve in and make the past a reality through a video game

    Do not make up problems when there aren't any.

    Great work sucker punch! You're at the top of my list! Creating a sequel on the ps5 would be incredible though (im already excited for horizon zero dawn! Lets hope they dont butcher it like the last of us 2) Im not sure how you'd structure a story after that ending but i'd love to see your try! Maybe going to the mainland? On shogun territory itself?
    Or maybe the game dosent need a sequel at all!

    Great story with likable characters. Side quests quality is on par with witcher 3. The combat is very engaging, you can't spam sword attacks need to be a bit more patient and methodical. Graphics are fantastic for an open world game. Only cons i would say is some animations are a bit janky and enemy ai acts a bit weird sometimes when in combat, but these are nitpicks and didn't effect myGreat story with likable characters.

    A superb game, a game that is a slow burner as it unravels you learn about your abilities as a samurai and as a ninja taking the fight in either of these styles open and head on or covert in the shadows like tenchu. I didnt enjoy the game at the start i found it too hard but this game rewards you more and more as you play. If you love single player this game is for you.

    1) Beautiful graphics and level design;
    2) Great main story with multiple side characters with their own stories.
    3) Great combat - wanna be an assassin, do stealth; wanna be an archer - here you're; wanna go open-combat, here a unique mechanic for you.
    Definitely worth buying!

    25 hours in and this is my game of the year for sure. The story and characters are memorable, the exploration is by far the best of this generation (has an amazing wind feature that keeps the HUD minimal in a logical way), and the combat!!! Oh dear the combat. It keeps you coming back and continues to be interesting the further I get.

Oh dear the combat. It keeps you coming back and continues to be interesting the further I get. I'm a huge Souls fan but don't worry this isn't like that! While the elements are similar such as parry timing, the stances and tools make it easy to pick up and easy to get relatively good at. A negative is the camera. Sometimes it won't track well and especially when transitioning into buildings/tents. I do think the game could have used a lock-on feature as well to help with combat camera in these situations. This is really what Assassin's Creed should aspire to be like. Expand

    After The Last of us 2, I write meta review.
    My Score is generous, if the game has fun thing, I give 10 score.
    But if not, and if it has educating something, I give 0 score. Because, it is not a game.
    So I give the TLOU2, 0 score.
    And I give 10 score to Ghost of Tsushima.

    I am 30 years old man and i got two sick days from work to platinum this game. Fastest platinum i got because i could not stop playing it. We need harder difficulty than "Lethal" and new game+ as soon as possible.

    A very good game.
    The towers are a little annoying in the gameplay, but the fights are pleasant. Beautiful pictures and catchy style.
    And history tells about something that is unknown to modern journalists. About the honor.

    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.
