    Wonderful gameplay, simple and deep at the same time, gorgeous ambientations and musics, really reminds me about japan.
    Smooth and clean storyline, interesting and not heavy, really like (hate) the antagonist.
    Deep and huge map with alot of collectibles

    This game is brilliant probably the prettiest and most eye catching ps4 exclusive I’ve played since the consoles launch. Given I am a bit biased because I love Japanese history And I loved learning about the Mongrel invasion of Japan so that did boost my rating a bit.

Given I am a bit biased because I love Japanese history And I loved learning about the Mongrel invasion of Japan so that did boost my rating a bit.
    But the combat is great , it manages too be simple too learn but challenging at the same time but not too challenging where you think it’s unfair. Lots of customization options for you’re character , the most beautiful open world I’ve ever seen in gaming. Granted since it’s in Japan I am a bit biased because I just love games set in the country and live the history behind it but that doesn’t subtract that this is a masterpiece.
    combat is excellent ,Complex but easy too learn while also being challenging enough so that you can’t just blow through the game.
    But be warned their will be some challenge so if you don’t like games that are kinda difficult then maybe this isn’t for you.
    Characters are well voice acted and excellently written , plenty of content and many of side quests Too keep you busy.
    It’s 10/10 for me and and the best way end off a console generation    … Expand

My biggest take is the absence of HUD, so you get to immerse yourself in the environment as the wind is used to guide you to your next location.… Expand

    I signed up to Metacritic just to rate this game the 10 it deserves. It has been a very long time for me (years) since I have been wowed by a game this much, it truly is something different. The graphics, the sound, the gameplay - it's just next level. Sucker Punch did an amazing job on this. Well done guys.

When playing the game as Jin, really feel like a samurai and the way you are slicing your katana through the enemies feels real. Another that Sucker Punch managed to do really well was by creating this historical event of the first Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. By playing the game, we actually learn how the invasion took place in some sort of way and how the samurais defended their island. There is just so many amazing features and details in this game of the best of its kind. In my opinion, this game deserves Game of the Year 2020, that's how perfect this game is.… Expand

Ghost of Tsushima brings to every player a long missed feeling from achieving a game with a brillant story not something twisted but something logical and undoubtedly sensfull. The game isn't far from being flawless, but the gameplay can be sometimes repetitive but in every fight, every confrontation you try to perfect you're skills to live up to the legend of the ghost of tsushima defender of the land of tsushima. Both the story and the side stories bring more depth to the character you're incarnating, by expanding his inner conflict between saving his honour as a samurai and for the name of his clan or losing everything to save as many people as he can. The music and the atmosphere are something else, you get to live every second of the game enjoying every bit of your exploration and battles, taking the time to see what sucker punch offered us the players to say our goodbyes to the PS4. some may say the mechanics of the game aren't as realistic as what rdr 2 or tlou part 2 gave us, but i can't personally see ghost of tsushima with that kind of slow mechanics like grabbing flowers, cutting bamboos, etc...
    To everyone that haven't bought the game yet, go get it. And huge thanks to sony for giving the freedom to developers for creating different world and journey for us to live.    … Expand

    Don't understand how so called professional gaming journalist can score this game below 80 and all the losers trying to say this game is disrespectful to either Chinese or Japanese are absolutely retarded. Game is miles better than the Last of Us 2 and holds it own against recent Sony games like God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn.

    For years, audiences have been asking Ubisoft to bring Assassin’s Creed back to feudal Japan, but the French publisher has ignored the appeal. Well, the Sucker Punch team has taken the initiative - here's a samurai open-world game inspired by Kurosawa's films. And this game turned out to be very good

    Despite some flaws later on with the some story narrative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the recommend exclusives that deserve to get praise not only because of the Japan concept, but also for the well made exploration mix with amazing combat and not mention how good the progression through out from beginning to the end. Story wise it is nothing new. But instead of story-telling    Despite some flaws later on with the some story narrative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the recommend exclusives that deserve to get praise not only because of the Japan concept, but also for the well made exploration mix with amazing combat and not mention how good the progression through out from beginning to the end.

    Story wise it is nothing new. But instead of story-telling narrative, GOT choose to focus on character story driven. Giving the simple revenge story with a complex and enjoyable character thoughout the journey of Jin. They have weakness as well Help him, and teach him in so many way to become a Ghost and still, live true to his own life.

    Gameplay wise, despite on "nothing new" on openworld structure, GOT still deliver one of the best openworld til today with many small add-on feature inside some similar features we have seen from other openworld title. From point of interest, enemies camp, hidden location, etc.

    GOT put their love inside those activities. I could give some example like "POI", in other games you can just go to that place and listen to some audio or read a letter to describe some informations. But in GOT, you can make Haku poem, one of the best way for you to take a break and enjoy the beauty as well as your mind can be at ease by music score in those locations. And you can find much more of those "take a break" moments not just only by those point of interest location.

    And the thing to make it more distinct, yes (Again), by those beautiful graphic with very careful well crafted locations and strong art-direction. Although, some may not point this one can be a game-changing, but to me, the graphic of GOT for not just only for beauty-eye-candy but also help a lot in game level design to hide some special locations and gameplay. It keeps your interesting mind enough to not let go the controller.

    I'm glad they learnt and took the inspiration from RDR, Shadow of the Colossus and Zelda BOTW for exploration gameplay. Also instead of climbing tower to unlock maps, this time, defeat enemies on their camp can automatically unlock maps in limit zone.

    The special about combat mechanic of GOT, is not about stealth, it is about Stand off mechanic moments. It can be repeated many times but it is addictive for sure. There are very few games that has those mini feature but shape a unique feeling like GOT. The dual battle may sound nothing new, but when you into it and experience. It feel totally different than anything you see out there.

    Many people said GOT feel like Assassin's Creed. But nope, after over 50 hours of playing it, I see it nothing like that. Yep, I am no place to deny it borrow some feature from other openworld. But when combining, with some genious tweak and add-on inside those "similar", surprisingly, it brought to you a whole new experience that so refresh, so well-done and not overwhelming things that will bug you along the way.

    And one more personal feeling of mine when experience this, just like I felt for HZD. Despite some flaws, HZD and GOT absolutely positive feeling in their openworld. Full of hope in humanity.    … 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.
