    As an Xbox fanboy, I have to say this game is amazing. It's everything you want in an open-world game. it's enjoyable, easy to play, deep secrets and so much more. If you played Last of Us 2 and need a palate cleanser, and have the urge to actually play a fun game, spend your money on this.

    Really good game, for those who compare this to assassins creed, you don't know anything. This game is way better than a boring generic AC. graphics are not amazing as they first appeared in the commercials but still very good. Storytelling is nice.

This game is way better than a boring generic AC. graphics are not amazing as they first appeared in the commercials but still very good. Storytelling is nice. The environment is excellent, you really feel like a samurai in the Japanese middle age. The gameplay is very nice too, a bit disturbing at the beginning with the camera which is slightly different than usual, but within the game, we adapt. The soundtrack is perfect, the Japanese voices are great. The custom of the main character is really cool too. There aren't massive issues. Annexe quests are a bit repetitive at some point. I was a bit disappointed with certain other aspects like when there is body on the floor, your feet pass trough it like nothing, you are not on the body, you are in the body, problem is that it happens 100% of the time like they didn't pay attention to that. Or when you throw an arrow on something like a tree or whatever, you're never going to fund it stick into something, it just disappears. Another thing is that you pass literally trough every bamboo forest like if there isn't anything, impossible to cut the bamboo with your katana or anything.
    Small thing but it breaks a bit the immersion and makes the game unperfect, it is those tiny things that make the difference between a really good game and a masterclass.    … Expand

    Amazing / Brilliant Game.
    Great original story that isn't a sequel or remake. The story makes you feel like you are a part of it and you get hooked on what's going to happen next. You can also do it at your own pace, theres plenty of side quests without feeling like its over saturated.. i never felt like i was grinding to progress further - it felt like a journey. Scenery is captivating    Amazing / Brilliant Game.

    This game was truly phenomenal. The developers truly put in endless passion and love into creating this masterpiece. One of the biggest wins in playing the game is the immersion. The music is great and brings through so much of the emotion that is hidden behind the mostly emotionless voice acting. The lack of an always visible HUD, especially in an open-world game, is so refreshing. TheThis game was truly phenomenal.

The music is great and brings through so much of the emotion that is hidden behind the mostly emotionless voice acting. The lack of an always visible HUD, especially in an open-world game, is so refreshing. The minimalistic view with the HUD, minimap, and missions are quite unlike other open-world staples. The story is realistic as well as the fact that it is based on a real-life event (the invasion of Japan by the Mongols, not the actual Ghost of Tsushima). The story also ends beautifully,(no spoilers), and it brought me to tears no matter how many times I've seen it. The Critic score underplays how wonderfully this game is... and if you are buying a PS4, then you NEEEEED to get Ghost of Tsushima.… Expand

    The game is purely amazing. Fun combat, a huge map worth exploring, side missions and main missions. The graphics are beautiful, and the wind tracking mechanism is an amazing touch. I could go more into detail but I dont think I need to. You got to play this game.

    An incredible, beautiful, and immersive game. Ghost of Tsushima is a great game to finish the ps4 exclusives. The best open world issue I've ever played, surpassing "the witcher 3". I'm in doubt between: Ghost of Tsushima or Bloodborne, in the matter of best exclusive.One of the best games I have ever played.Congratulations Sucker Punch

Once you do that, it gets a lot more fun. Yahtzee said it best. It's almost like they should've been all unlocked from the start but open world games got to do the unlocking. There's also this character dissidence here. They give you the tools to be all sneaky stabby and yet go out of your way to shame you for doing so. So I made the decision to not do the secret stabbing thing unless it was to save lives in game... A samurai that bend his code of honor for the people he's supposed to protect. When it's his life alone he fights out in the open. Except for Archer, **** them.

    Then I get to save my uncle and there's a guy on the other side of the door. I can do nothing... nothing but sneak kill him.... Nothing else. Can't stand up, can't take out my sword... can't do anything else... Lets go kill the guy so my uncle can be like oh what have you done... you stabbed someone in the back... oh no.... Hmpf and they say linear games are bad because you get railroaded in them. Never have I felt so suddenly sucked out of the experience before.

    It was trailing along but that one moment really took the wind out of my sails to be honest. Now I'm just going to play through it the rest of the way    … Expand

The exploration is very encouraged, there many pieces of armour and swords to find. The only bad thing I found is that the graphics are a little too dark.

    Amazingly beautiful world and satisfying stylish combat. Just being a ninja/samurai and exploring the world is what this game is all about. The story and side quests have mediocre writing in places but also great moments especially later on in the game and the Mythic quests. The beautiful visual style and art in this game makes up for any other shortcomings.

    Honestly after watching the E3 presentation back in 2016 and eventually the pre-release clips I wasn't expecting much.

Having played some passt Assassin's Creed games, which somehow I immediately connected to this game, and hearing the term open world, I wrote it off as an other generic Ubisoft-like experience. Gather this, explore that, rinse and repeat. The only thing that kept me slightly more interested was SuckerPunch's previous titles such as the Sly Cooper and Infamous which although they didn't blow me away I fairly enjoyed. Yet after looking further into the combat system from curtain trusted YouTube channels and being a big fan of the Japanese culture I thought I'd give the game a chance. I spent 70€ (PS Store) and jumped in hoping that my hard earned money and time I'll invest won't go to waste. Damn, the opening, these amazing graphics! "This could be something special" I thought. "Now if only this stays as amazing as the opening we've got in our hands something real good". And it did. Beyond the beautiful landscapes and the minimal hub wind based ways of getting to your next objective lies a satisfying combat system that doesn't become boring (at least for me playing in hard mode). The game feels fluid and tempts you to explore, to discover different gear and attires to customize your character as you please. It throws you into unexpected situations that puts you in the shoes of how samurai had to always be prepared for danger lurking. To cut it short they managed to find the perfect balance between an AC game and the realism of Red Dead Redemption 2 but somehow making it more enjoyable than both.
    Although it does have some flaws it is easy to look past them and highly recommend it. For me it's an easy 9/10.    … Expand

It encourages you to explore the world and there are so many fun little details like following a yellow bird that can lead you to hot springs that increase your health and other cool things. Story is very engaging, before the game even begins it drops a bomb on you and then just when you start to get the hang of the sword play, the game shames your character and thus begins the actual game where you must go find companions to help you on your mission and increase your "legend" to obtain new ghost weapons. In the beginning the controls and all the abilities seem to be overwhelming but will quickly become second nature to you. It was way better then I thought it be, did not want to put down my controller while playing it.… 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.
