    Love everything about this game, got the platinum and doing a second play through with lethal difficulty. Really recommend the game for anyone who is looking for a best story setting open world game.

    The game is beautiful, both visually and narratively. The combat system is simple but very fun, I have lost countless hours playing this game, every new encounter feels different than the last.

This is one of the few games where I actively sought out sidequests, the world feels so unique and developed, you can tell suckerpunch put a lot of care into this game. Coming off of the disappointment that was TLoU2, this game was a MUCH needed palate cleanser. The characters all feel like actual people, each with their own distinctive personalities. I will say the main bad is a little disappointing BUT, his boss fight is extremely fun despite his (spoiler kinda) lack of on screen presence. The skill tree is extremely fun to progress down, I never felt like I NEEDED a certain skill to help me progress, I just chose the ones that looked the coolest and went from there. If you are on the fence about this game I highly recommend just buying it. I hardly ever rate games higher than a 7.5 but this game genuinely deserves the 9 point rating.… Expand

    Love the combat and the overall open world gameplay. Almost no bugs, can be set to high difficulty, very small game size (in GB) yet hours of fun. Super fast loading screens. I have nothing bad to say about the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Man was this a great game. a definite GOTY contender. The graphics just made me keep playing even after completing everything and made me roleplay as a wandering samurai in feudal japan.
    The combat was one the best sword fighting combat system ive seen since witcher 3, combined with the matching soundtrack made this a perfect samurai simulator. The story was good nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable none the less but it would have been better if the story had been impacted if you chose to play as a samurai instead of the ghost but it wasnt that big of a deal breaker also wish there was some replay ability but that can be added later. Overall i just love this game and we needed something like this after the disastrous last of us 2    … Expand

    @SuckerPunchProd please, with all respect to you, fix the bugs and Artificial Intelligence of the enemies, and improve the textures of the game mainly the water. It's a game that has great potential to be a new franchise for us @PlayStation fans.

    The story is not that all but it's still great. The characters are strong developed and I feel empathy for them
    Taking the facial expressions aside, the graphics are one of the best of the generation, the scenarios are just amazing and the combat is fluid and energetic
    The open world and parkour mechanics are fun and opens lots of possibilities to explore

    Hands down one of the best games of this generation! The world design is topnotch, the gameplay and exploration is crisp and smooth though there are some minor camera issues but still that doesn't affect the smoothness of this game. The main story and it's characters are also great and memorable. Most of it's sidequests have a lot of depth in its story and their own twists and turns.Hands down one of the best games of this generation!

    This is sadly one of the worst story games I have ever played.
    Story: The story line is extremely stale with not even 1 surprising twist, everything played out extremely predictable, none of the boring 1 dimensional supporting characters helped make Jin even remotely interesting. Kutan Khan is such a cliche "super smart" villain that just makes everything else play out way more cliche.    This is sadly one of the worst story games I have ever played.

Kutan Khan is such a cliche "super smart" villain that just makes everything else play out way more cliche. The campaign was emotionless, boring, basic, and predictable and it doesn't help that every character had awful writing. It was not engaging, compelling, or creative in any way.
    Visuals: Its really disappointing to see a game that takes place on one of the most beautiful places on earth miss the bar graphically, compared to other triple A games such as Last of us Part ll this game looks pretty mediocre. The amount of cut out cut scenes that were just black screens is disgusting, during multiple cut scenes, Jin was not even moving his mouth while talking. Overall the visuals are just meh, nothing stood out to me.
    Game play: While the game play was cool at first, it got repetitive extremely quick, with only 2 assassination animations, extremely easy combat, and some of the worst A.I it was hard to be engaged at all. You could assassinate people within 10 ft of a guard and he doesn't see or hear anything, it was some of the worst programming for A.I's i have ever seen. The stances were cool but then just became a nuisance having to switch ever 5 seconds. The duels are a weak attempt at trying to capture the hardness of dark souls but in the end its just flat out boring. There was one move that the A.I spammed all the time and it was a poke. This move reached almost full screen, had extremely fast start up, was unblockable, and hit for 90% of your health even with maxed out armor. The only way to avoid it was to jump and even then it would still hit even when i was above the swordsman's head or to parry which was extremely hard to do and the parries did even register half of the time. Combat was just not fun and took up time.
    Glitches: Don't even get me started on the disgusting amount of glitches. Some of them were
    Characters mouths not moving when talking
    Movement glitches that make you randomly fall
    block button not registering against move that were blockable
    parry registered only 60% of the time
    Not being able to run
    not being able to switch stances, equipment or weapons
    taking damage before cut scene is over
    and this is just naming a few.
    Overall talking about the game in full and all of its flaws would take forever so in summary, it has combat and gameplay that is ripped of from other story games, the worst story i have ever played, awful writing and characters, countless glitches, and graphics that don't even reach the bar.    … Expand

The weak point for me is the story, it's not that original compare to other stories from PS and from other Japanese movies. But it doesn't matter cause everything else is really great, for me is actually a 9.8 but you can put decimals in here but well. Very recommended game… Expand

This game does everything right. It hits all the right notes for me and gave me the nostalgic feeling of playing through the early open world games of previous generations. It may not be the most detailed or graphically “impressive” but it is stunning throughout. The world alone is masterfully colored and designed for exploration and creativity in both stealth and action combat. I couldn’t put this game down even after the story had finished. This is the first open world game since the Witcher 3 that I couldn’t resist wanting to play. I definite recommend if you’re a lover of the open world / action adventure genre.… Expand

    This is a masterpiece, the storyline and world building is much more fantastic and enjoyable than some game with a butt ton of politic. The Female character of this game like Lady Masako and Yuna make a better strong female than some character from a game that force me to sympathy with.

    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.
