    What a great game! Great graphics, great gameplay and overall great fun! I thought nothing could outdo Spider-Man but now I beg to differ! It’s just an amazing story! I am guessing it’s going to be GOTY this year!

    This game is great! She cannot be compared to Creed Assassins or other rubbish. Such work .. all these little things, movement technique, hokku, music, sword style (I especially like the water stand) leave an indescribable impression! Everything is done with soul and love. The best thing that could be at sunset ps4. This is how games should be, not a mediocrity sick with fantasy.

    I cannot remember the last time I was this glued to an Open-world RPG! Not to mention ACTUALLY WANTING to do the side quest, so I can keep exploring the island, which is beautiful! And the combat is great, super rewarding once you start to get the hang of it all. You NEED to play this game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ok not much to spoil! so here's my review GREAT GAME! OVERALL! I've only been playing for about a week as for the little things there's so many things that could be changed like when walking up stairs it's like he's just walking on a flat surface...when the factor comes to "hunting" like they could've gave us more animals to choose from but to wrap things up the adventure and amount of battles and many people to fight and upstage like they did great on that part and great story mode loved it! Wish customizing could've been more details but it was super great! Thank you for everything SUCKER PUNCH LOVED THIS GAME!… Expand

    Most games and movies that come out these days make you feel like you're having your face shoved in **** by sick industry people who think they're better and more moral than you for being nihilistic hacks. Ghost of Tsushima, on the other hand, feels like taking a cleansing bath in a hot spring.

    Every aspect of the game is overflowing with a respect for concepts that are maligned by    Most games and movies that come out these days make you feel like you're having your face shoved in **** by sick industry people who think they're better and more moral than you for being nihilistic hacks. Ghost of Tsushima, on the other hand, feels like taking a cleansing bath in a hot spring.

    Every aspect of the game is overflowing with a respect for concepts that are maligned by today's media 24/7 - concepts like beauty, honor, tradition, manliness, bravery, sacrifice, nationalism, virtue, etc. From the moment Jin leans over to touch the grass as he rides through it on his horse in the intro, you are compelled to love and defend the island in all its beauty - this is your land, you know it, you love it, and you will fight for it. In many ways, Ghost of Tsushima is very similar to 1917 - an anachronistic story that starts off gritty and grounded in realism but which becomes a legendary, larger-than-life, homeric epic rooted in classical, traditional archetypes as it goes on. There is no subversion here, only sincerity.

    In terms of gameplay, this game is one of the best examples of character progression this generation, but what makes the gameplay truly special is the degree to which it informs and furthers the narrative goals of the game with regards to Jin's transformation into the ruthless Ghost. Unlike the experiences of Nathan Drake in the Uncharted games, which have singlehandedly popularized the idea of "ludonarrative dossonance", every action you take as Jin feeds into the narrative of Ghost of Tsushima to support and bolster it. In a rare display of growth in an industry beset with staleness, Sucker Punch has discarded all traces of gimmicky good/evil paths and has instead opted for a strong and clearly defined vision for Jin's story arc, and the result is a narrative full of conviction that feels like a breath of fresh air at a time when most games seem to be content to lazily push the player to "make their own story!" The side quests alone are more tragic and compelling than the entirety of TLOU2, but they don't make you feel like burning hot garbage because unlike the story of that game, Ghost of Tsushima's quests are written with a respect for characters and with an awareness of the importance of things like honor, dignity, and human life. Almost every side quest ends in an incredibly sad manner but the game handles these tragic moments in a way that reaffirms the importance of Jin's mission rather than devaluing it.

    The final and perhaps the best piece of the puzzle is the world of Tsushima itself, which bustles with the beauty of generations-old history and the suffering left in the wake of the invaders trying to destroy it. I don't think I ever ran past a single peasant that was being held hostage by mongols on the side of the roads along my path without stopping to rescue them, and it bothered me everytime I failed to save any of them because of a mongol who slipped by me and stabbed them before I could stop him. Such moments are littered throughout the game world and all its beautiful landscapes. You could be taking in the beauty of a forest of white trees bathed in moonlight one moment and then coming across the burned corpses of some innocent Japanese peasants in the middle of the same forest the next in a totally organic sequence that would then linger in your mind until you reached your next haiku spot on the edge of those very woods, and sat down to reflect on death. It's thanks to these moments that Ghost of Tsushima manages to be both more tragic but also more life-affirming than nihilistic trash like TLOU2, and becomes far more deserving of every GOTY award as a result.

    10/10 one of the best game experiences of the generation next to Bloodborne and Sekiro, hands down.    … Expand

    La mappa ha svariate sfaccettature tutte diverse, è la prima volta che occupo più di 3gb di spazio per le foto e le cinematiche che ho realizzato, per chi ama la cultura giapponese e ne apprezza i paesaggi questo gioco è un must.

Se tutto ciò non bastasse ad accostarsi alla mappa c'è il combat system, curato in tantissimi dettagli che lo rendono appagante , per esempio le 4 forme da usare contro i nemici possono essere mischiate anche con gli strumenti per creare delle final kill fuori dal comune senza bisogno delle skill che si apprendono con le missioni(per skill intendo delle mosse che consumano la determinazione, ovvero la contro parte del mana per le magie che specifico non sono presenti, per dare vita a mosse finali incredibili, inoltre il sistema di parata e schivata sono perfetti e rendono giustizia alla leggenda dei samurai. La fase stealth l ho apprezzata soprattutto quando ben eseguita, infatti è bellissimo sbarazzarsi di 5 nemici in un attimo, questo è possibile solo grazie al parkour molto simile a quello di Assassin's Creed, con l aggiunta di un rampino alla Syndacate. Posso criticare sono la monotonia degli assassinii a catena, i quali hanno sempre la stessa animazione. L'esplorazione è uno dei punti cardini di questo gioco come ho scritto sopra, la mappa presenta tantissime aree diverse e fotogeniche che sono cosparse di innumerevoli punti di interesse divisi in 6 categorie più alcune speciali:si possono infatti onorare i santuari delle volpi, dei kami, tagliare il bambù, riflettere nelle sorgenti termali, comporre degli haiku e trovare oggetti di estetica nelle tombe dei guerrieri caduti (tutte queste attività si ripercuotono sottoforma di potenziamento). A questo proposito voglio soffermarmi sulla personalizzazione che all'inizio del gioco può non risultare gran ché, ma che da il massimo verso l'endgame, momento in cui si dà per scontato che tu abbia molte risorse. Per il comparto tecnico e grafico vi invito a vedere con i vostri occhi ciò che questo gioco ha da offrire, posso dirvi che il dettaglio che più mi ha colpito è quello dei particellari, ovvero le foglie che cadono dall'alto, queste foglie sono fisiche, ciò vuol dire che al contatto con il suolo diventeranno parte di mappa e che la stessa foglia se mossa dalla scia di vento del cavallo si risolleverà e fluttuerà fino a ricadere, e se la foglia cadesse in acqua rimarrebbe a galla e inizierà a muoversi lentamente come nella realtà. Ora, non è che dovete acquistare il gioco per le foglie, però quello delle foglie è l'esempio di quanto questo gioco sia curato nei minimi dettagli, non al pari di rdr2, ma che se messo in una scala dove rdr2 è 10, GoT lo seguirebbe con un 8,8. La storia ci racconta le vicende di Jin Sakai nella liberazione di Tsushima, ciò può risultare monotono ma se giocato bene vi terrà attaccati allo schermo per ore. P.s. io l'esperienza del completamento del gioco la paragono a un piatto di carbonara, dove tutti i vari punti di interesse vengono paragonati a dei pezzettini di guanciale in mezzo alla pasta, se questi vengono mangiati insieme possono dare un sapore, se lasciati per ultimi ne danno un altro, io consiglio di dirigersi da una missione all'altra a cavallo laddove il pezzo di mappa che separa te dalla missione fosse inesplorato e di non andare dritti alla quest' ma di completare i punti di interesse che si troveranno durante il cammino. La recensione finisce quí, buona giocata… 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.
