    Side missions become a bit repetitive at some point, and lip syncing isn't good. Great game otherwise. Especially the combat mechanics are better than any other game.

    This game is absolutely incredible! From the story and the gameplay.
    The art style is phenomenal. Another thing that makes it amazing is the added Legends mode.
    I was immersed with the world and I look forward for the sequel.

    I'm pretty surprised at the score here.

    So I played the intro section and a few minutes more and I was bored. Really bored. I just got an old Monster Hunter a few days ago and it was more entertaining in 5 minutes than this was in an hour.

    So basically this feels like a more boring, less fluid, worse looking version of Gujian 3. I have played a few hours of Gujian 3 and it has left me wanting more . Ghost of Tsushima left me deleting the game.

    The game felt like a film with button presses and sluggish action. Now I can deal with this type of thing, I really enjoyed Beyond Two Souls but the character, this Jin guy, I didn't want to be him, he was so (and I know I'm repeating this word) boring. I just wanted him to get killed off. I love Samurai, I love Japanese things and this is a stunning game but that is it. This Jin guy was like an annoying little millennial **** of a Samurai. There is honour and there is being a bell end. There is a fine line and he crossed it. Jumped up and down on that line.

    GoT is a bit like pulling a model on a night out and getting her home to find out the beef curtains be smelling more like a 2 week old tuna butty than a prime cut.

    As if the immersion of being in the shoes of a character I wanted to punch wasn't game breaking enough. The PS4 started up its propeller every 30 seconds, sounding like it was ready to launch a NASA rocket.

    So if you want a historical Asian style game with good action and stunning graphics. Personally, for me, Gujian 3 is way better.

    I give a point for the bloody brilliant graphics.

    -9 for bad characters, story, gameplay and making my PS4 fan work it's ticket to the extreme. I don't really remember the sound being good, or bad. I'm guessing it was probably just OK. Maybe I just couldn't hear it over the frigging fan that was only recently dismantled and cleaned out.    … Expand

    One of the best games I have ever played. Based loosely on real-world events from the Kamakura period when the Mongols invaded Japan.

The main character is a samurai who abandons his principles to defend his people. The gameplay is open-world similar to Witcher or Red Dead but the artwork is something I've never seen before. It's absolutely beautiful, one of those games where every scene is a painting. It's hard to believe these graphics are possible on the PS4. It plays so fluidly and with such incredible detail.

    Positive points - the main story, the boss battles, the world exploration. The one-on-one sword fights are next-level it was like experiencing a Kurosawa film.

    Negative points - its long, and big, and getting 100% is a grind. My recommendation is don't go for 100% just play the main story. It's like an epic-adventure film that way.

    Don't miss this game its a superb swansong for the PS4.    … Expand

    Viihdyttävä tarina, hyvin tehdyt taistelut. Kauniit maisemat. Grafiikka hienoa, mutta ympäristön yksityiskohdat saisivat olla monipuolisempia. Hyviä tehtäviä, paljon tekemistä. Parasta pelissä visuaalisuus ja taistelutekniikat.

    There is no doubt that this game is beautiful but it didn't reignite my love for a feudal Japan. The story was good, but it was completely diminished by the gameplay. Game forces you to loose your honor and become an assassin because its the only option except it isn't and its much easier and quicker to just call a standoff and kill everybody even on hardest difficulty.

I particularly enjoyed that all of the equipment is meaningful in different portions of the game and can be used without becoming overly complicated. The campaign is incredibly long and it provides a ton of entertainment for the money. I had one minor issue that prevented this game from achieving a perfect score. There were a few points in the game in which things were going at a hectic pace but because I failed to hit a point of the screen to move the action forward I was stuck in a holding pattern running around aimlessly wondering what I had failed to do. Before realizing that had I only moved my character to a specific spot the game would have moved along. Also, I was able to complete the game without finishing every mission (which is fine) but when I continued after completing the game it gave off a silly sense of urgency vibe that shouldn't have existed. Make no mistake, I loved this game and thought it was an amazing gaming experience, it's just not perfect, very close, but not quite.… Expand

    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.
