    I love the combat, style, music, atmosphere, side activities, tales, duels, characters etc.
    I have fun doing stealth, samurai combat and duels. There is problem with camera (sometimes I lose combat because of it) but it doesn’t ruin the fun. Most of the times it works.
    All the small details in this game are well crafted. I care mostly about the small details. It’s great fun!

    Just unlocked the platinum trophy.

    Although i think the game is deserving of a 10 out of 10 mark, the game is certainly not perfect. During my playthrough i encountered a couple of buggy/glitchy moments.

    What motivates me to give this game a 10 is the enjoyment that Sucker Punch has managed to deliver. From the very first minute to the moment i unlocked the final trophy, all i wanted to do was play this game. There are few games that really manage to grab me by the balls like this game has.

    If your game is as much fun to play as this one is than in my book that's as perpect as it gets.    … Expand

    Ghost of tsushima me parece muy buen juego la verdad. Historia:
    La historia es simple. Pero no por eso es malo, ya que la historia es una ayuda al gameplay.
    Jugavilidad:
    La jugavilidad tiene muy buena curva de dificultad.

    Most beautiful game I’ve ever played. Great combat, short load times, a horse that actually does what you want it to, great characters, great story. Blends the best part of open world games together flawlessly. Masterpiece.

    The best open world experience I've ever played. When playing I feel immersed in this environment created by the studio. It feels like I'm in a Samurai / Ninja movie. Combat is the strongest point of the game. Fight with style! What a wonderful thing. Congratulations! I loved this game!

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

    My first review so for a frame of reference I would say Horizon, Witcher 3, TLOU 1 and 2, Arkham Asylum, RDR2 are 5 star games.

    I liked GOT, it's a fun, beautiful looking game with some really great ideas in there : wind, fighting system, haiku writing. That said, I don't think this game is anywhere near 5 stars. Like sucker punch's infamous it feels like it needed a few more months to file off the rough edges it still has.
    Things like :
    Soldiers killed on cliff edges will not hang of the edge, they will lie flat, with whatever parts of their body just floating off the edge
    Birds take flight when you approach, but will fly through whatever is in front of them - a mountainside in my experience
    Not important NPC side mission encounters results in a brief black loading screen then a generic two shot - which you can't move or speed up - and then a black loading screen again to get back into the game
    Your horse will be nowhere in sight until you whistle where it will be appear almost alongside you
    You run at the same speed not wade through water until it gets to swimming level
    You will obtain a couple of bows through the game which you can of course customise with various colour kits. However you only see them when you are drawing an arrow and about to fire, if you release L2 the bow disappears to where exactly?
    Now, none of these types of things are game breakers for me really. But for a product that is coasting on celebrations of how pretty it looks, these things are pretty jarring. Especially when compared to likes of TLOU2 and RDR2 with their attention to detail. I mean even much older releases of Horizon and definitely Witcher 3 and some AC games do this type of thing much better, and I'm sorry GOT is not on their level.
    It feels like an opening game for the start of the ps4 lifespan, look at how beautiful it is, not for its swansong. But as I said, it's a fun, cool game and I am definitely looking forward to finishing it. I would welcome a sequel on the ps5. I world just hope that these sort of issues are remedied.

It really makes you feel like a samurai who has to change his code and fighting style to survive the first Mongol invasion. With regard to gameplay and the open world, the truth is that it brings almost nothing that we have not seen in other games such as the AC saga: collectibles, territories and prisoners to release, places to visit to improve the status of our character, stealth , executions, everything very similar but with a Japanese atmosphere. Some characteristics such as the different combat postures which we must alternate depending on the enemy we face gives freshness to the gameplay. Still, overall the game is amazing, certainly one of the contenders for this year's goty. Highly recommended.… Expand

    I have very mixed feelings about this game.

    Pros: Beautiful graphics / locations / details and shots; Story and character development is taken care of - it is a real pleasure to dive into next adventures; Limited gear - you won't be wasting time to search for hundreds of crafting ingredients and consider, if sword B++ is better than A+ Cons: Gameplay is nothing new.

    Cons: Gameplay is nothing new. I have a feeling like Ghost of Tsushima is just a huge mod for Witcher 3/Spiderman - very similar gameplay and skills/special mechanics. Have not found a way to exit cutscenes - after 50th saved peasant warn you about dangerous bandits in a cutscene, you will have enough.    … Expand

    The game is fantastic, although I didn't really like the combat system in which we were unable to mark the enemy.
    The map is quite large and has a lot to do. The coolest thing is that it doesn't get boring. The graphic, the landscapes employ.

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 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.
