    Wow . It's been a very long game that the story takes me to an another world. Just wow.
    Combat mechanics + characters + story + music + depth of dialogues + graphics everything is great in ps5. Only enemy A.I is lack of intelligence, they don't hear you meanwhile you take out their friends 3-4 meters away. Gears+weapons+ skills etc. Everything is a masterpiece.

    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.

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

    Incredible atmosphere, tight controls and faithful to historical information. Ghost Of Tsushima Excells in nearly every way. It is impressive how immersive and captivating the finely crafted world of Tsushima Island is. I dont have enough to nitpick to call this game any less than a 9.5 overall.

    This game is amazingly fun, and incredibly gorgeous. The fighting is so fun that I always complete all the side quests from a zone before moving to the next and this is something I rarely do in games.

The fighting is so fun that I always complete all the side quests from a zone before moving to the next and this is something I rarely do in games. 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

    This is among the best games I have ever played and you should play it too. I don't know what else to say. I wasn't even interested in the setting of fedual age Japan. But the game hooked me and the ending puts even movies considered timeless classics to shame.

Battles despite well done I will say didn't really bring me feel so much feel of Samurai but more of Ninja but maybe that's just me(game offers more stealth approach too for actual ninja style). Regardless it was a lot of fun kicking some Mongol butt. Aesthetics are beautiful in the game. One little nitpick I do have is the fantasy armor. If you go for historical landscape I feel like you should go all the way and not bring fantasy/future era equipment to the game. Still all in all I would give this game easy 9,5/10 but since system only goes for full scores it has to be full 10/10. As game I can't really find any real flaws that truly hurt my experience from it, just small nitpicks. Easily among best games in recent years.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a love letter to samurai and samurai movies, particularly to Kurosawa's style. At first glance this game may look like an Assassin's Creed / FarCry / Witcher 3 clone with a samurai skin applied on top, but it is as good as those games but also more than that.

    1대1 전투는 제다이 오더의 몰락이 생각나고 다인전은 옛날 어쌔신크리드 시리즈의 전투가 생각나는데

    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.
