    Ghost of Tsushima has it all. Great story, satisfying gameplay, and a beautiful world. Although not the most impressive graphics from a technical standpoint, GoT is artistically the most beautiful game I've ever played. Even the music is a solid 10/10. Please do yourself a favor and play this gem. Sucker Punch knocked it out of the park with this one.

    My review: Can't believe I actually created an account just to rate this game. Infact I never expected that I would even rate any game in my life. But damn, this game got me real good. I have never expected that an open world game could be as good as this. Out of all open world games, this is the best open world game I have played.The graphics are artistic and make it actually feel like you are in Tsushima. Every 20 min I stop at a place and be like, woah...gotta open photo mode!!!!Also I really like how they removed mini map by adding wind mechanism and it is extremely helpful in immersion in this beautiful world!!! I see a lot of people complaining about combat and saying its boring, as far as I know they are the people who look at the gameplay and be like,"what's so special about it? completely normal sword fights, so booring". I am telling you the combat feels satisfying asf when you play it rather than looking at it and be like there is nothing special about it. Japanese voice acting nailed it, but the mouth sync is completely off which threw me away a few times. Sometimes cut scenes feel like they are from a old 2000's game. But overall the good factors in the game made me not to worry about all these cons. Few say that the open world gets repetitive. Well they are the people who play complete story at one or complete side quests at once. If Main quests and side quests are played simultaneously, the game will be really really good. I enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend this game to any gamer who see a really really good open world adventure.    … Expand

    Очень интересно сражаться с врагами. Много клеширрваного, но просто круто вписаного в атмосферу игры. Пока непрошол, но не увидел ни одного выделяющегося обсурдностью персонажа.

    This game is just so much fun. It takes elements of rdr2, horizon zero dawn, and the infamous serious. It obviously puts its own flair on it by being a beautiful samurai story. This game is amazing and I’ve loved every second I’ve spent playing it

The visuals are perfect, it has a compelling story and the most awesome game mode (akira kurosawa mode) wich is pretty awesome but wasted on a game with such good visuals. I never felt borred with this open world game. Game me the fellings when i first played tenchu for the first time on my ps1. There is no such thing as a perfect game and this ratting i'm giving is for the awesome game presented and the respect for the fans and source material. If you like the genre it's a must play game. All this years waiting arent wasted. Haven't finished the game ter... but it's because i don't want tô. This game recovered my faith on sony exclusives. It's a masterpiece and if you can afford don't wasted more time waiting!… Expand

    This is one of the best game, since Skyrim (in my opinion). I have played a lot of story focused games but never in my life none of the games had ever hit my feelings spot, but this game did. In one particular quest hit me really hard and I cried at the end of the quest, because the character reminded me of someone in my life. So this game just became personal to me.

    Starting out with Ghost of Tsushima, the gorgeous landscapes & sweeping environmental art could be considered some of the best in video games. The same kind of beauty supplied by Witcher 3: Wild Hunt & even the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here with the many locals & vistas you’ll visit throughout Tsushima.

The same kind of beauty supplied by Witcher 3: Wild Hunt & even the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here with the many locals & vistas you’ll visit throughout Tsushima. Multiple activities/mechanics are laid out before you to keep you busy in between your tales, main or side quests that push you forward through the story. Finding shrines, fox dens, animals to hunt for skins, etc. It’s genuinely hard for me to put down my controller due to all the things within the game that keep pulling in for some more good fun. Combat is equal parts fun & challenging, delivering some of the best blocking/parrying maneuvers since Witcher 3 & dodging/rolling borrowed from Dark Souls. A huge bonus is the Kunai ghost weapon that acts as a miniature projectile, granting either better opportunities for stealth or a surprise element in the middle of an encounter. The Bow is also a lifesaver that you’ll catch yourself using more & more throughout. Smoke-bombs for stealth, customization for your sword & armor, & some of the most stylized combat that pays it’s best respects to Kurosawa Akira‘s many samurai films.

    A gripping opening to a lengthy, yet straightforward story, throwing the player into the world of Tsushima with an objective & purpose. It’s a simple Avenger story, fighting back against an invasion to avenge & protect the people being killed. Shedding the bushido code/beliefs, you will provoke war against the mongols using shinobi tactics, making yourself the ultimate Ninja-Samurai in all the land. Sounds cool, right? Samurai fans, Ninja fans, Medieval fans, Fans of Japanese History/Culture, Weeaboos, & perhaps some anime fans would definitely love the world & the game as a whole. If you enjoyed Witcher 3, BotW, RDR2, or even Skyrim, you’ll enjoy Ghost of Tsushima. The only nit-picks I have are:
    1. I sometimes wish lock-on was a feature.
    2. The “arms” glitch isn’t frequent but funny enough so it doesn’t annoy when it does happen.
    3. Walking through bamboo/small trees, making you feel like a an actual ghost. 4. NPC/Civilian AI is a little silly sometimes, falling over small dips or lighting themselves on fire multiple times.
    5. No fishing but that’s just a me thing. At the end of the 8th Generation of gaming, we finish the inevitable lifecycle of PlayStation leading to rebirth. I’m happy we can end the PS4 with GoT & hope to look forward to greater exclusives by Sony.    … Expand

    200% worth every cent I spent on it,
    Game is beautiful! The places you play in are just stunning, combat feels very nice and the way you have to work to improve your skills like the bamboo cutting for example, it makes sense, you may fail at it a few times but when you get it itfeels like you have worked the strength to finally get it and feels like a reward, also the mini games of    200% worth every cent I spent on it,

It's a great way to pay homage to that Asian belief while also improving your character.
    I can't love this game enough, if you are still thinking if buying or not, be sure that you won't regret it, this game is so well thought, you get your main character and progress with him but in the way you meet so many more strong supporting characters both male and female and they all make sense.
    If you told me I would have to pay again to replay it I wouldn't hesitate for a second, this game is a true masterpiece!    … Expand

    The game looks and feels amazing. Great graphics, color and contrast. Combat is better than most games out there including SW: Fallen Order. The game is a Big Update on all open world games. Its innovative and removes the minimap for a cool new feature.

    Game is one of the best games out there right now if not the best this year has seen.

    This game didn’t do anything revolutionary, but the things it does are flawless. Combat makes you truly feel like a one man wrecking crew without being way over the top and having you do crazy flips and unrealistic moves. The environments are gorgeous and the characters are very likeable. The loot system feels balanced and upgrading also feels balanced.

    Love this game so far. The open world feels alive and the space doesn't feel wasted. I didn't like the fact that the HUD was missing at first but now that I am used to it, it feels like an improvement over most open world HUDs. The only negative is the camera sometimes goes at odd angles.

    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.
