    Best game in 2020 so far (as of July). Highly engaged story line, interesting battle system and unique stylish characters.

    First off, I want to preface this review by saying I hate open world games. I despise playing a game and having so much freedom to do anything, that it makes me not want to do anything! Like red dead, and Skyrim. Quit them both in a matter of hours. Ghost of Tsushima however, has kept me absolutely enthralled.

Ghost of Tsushima however, has kept me absolutely enthralled. I played 10 hours straight when the game came out because I couldn’t put it down, and with that I have only done a few of the main missions! I’ve been doing all side missions and exploring. This game is masterfully done and absolutely beautiful. Every character is interesting in their own way and it makes the game such a worth while play.… Expand

Mythic tales become available and they were some of my favorite quests in the entire game. They lead you through some of the most beautiful areas ever created in video games and often end with the best rewards in the game. Now, the place where most criticism can be placed is the story. Although, I enjoyed it, I can see why some people would have issues, saying it’s the same revenge plot as always. However, it’s more about the adventure and building an army to fight for home. Jin doesn’t seem to have a ton of personality, although I found this reasonable as he was taught from a young age to control his emotions. Overall, I’d give the game a 10/10 score. My favorite PS4 exclusive and easily makes it into my top 3 games ever! THIS GAME IS A MUST BUY… Expand

    The Samurai combat is very satisfying. There are few basic enemy types but they get progressively more complex as the game goes on. You also learn more complex combos, worries, and dodges to help.

    You also get new items the can help with Stealth and crowd control if you get into a jam.

    If you enjoy the Samurai setting, just get it. If you like Assassin's Creed, get it. If you like Breath of the Wild, get it.    … Expand

    The Game keeps a hold on you and doesn't let you go. Some of the camera movement is a bit dodgy inside tents, but otherwise the gameplay is incredible. The side-stories are pretty damn interesting as well.

The minimalistic HUD and guiding wind are so tastefully done, and it works so perfectly with the world you’re thrown into. The inner turmoil of our protagonist, Jin, is exactly how you would feel a samurai would react to what needs to be done. It’s seriously the most beautiful game I have ever seen. If there is anything bad I could say about the game, it would be that I wish the Japanese VO matched the lips better. I think the voice actors did a great job in English though. Hat off to Sucker Punch. Your game does not deserve an 83 on Metacritic.… Expand

Ghost Of Tsushima starts out strong, immediately putting you in the thick of battle, giving you a quick rundown of what the controls do, which is something that I appreciate when a game doesn’t hold your hand, especially with long, boring tutorials, and that is shown a bit later in the game when you actually get to do their tutorial, which they make enjoyable by creating a beautiful scenery and giving you a bit of story and lore about your character, Jin Sakai. I haven’t found the story to be anything incredibly special, however it does its job well at achieving what it wants to portray — a samurai warrior having to adapt to his enemy in order to survive and reclaim his home, even if it means going back on his code of honor.
    Leaving the story aside, the game looks and sounds absolutely fantastic. It was the first game where I felt compelled to put down questing and just go into photo mode(which is incredibly detailed and favours exploration) to take screenshots every 10 minutes or so. Yes, the game has that many distinct, beautiful locations. You will never get bored of exploring in this game. The ambient sounds are beautifully done, as well as the combat sounds. It truly does its job in immersing you in the game. Of course, it has its flaws, nothing is perfect, and while it didn’t really bother me, the main protagonist might sound a bit dull at times, somewhat like a Connor from AC3, while the rest of the voice actors seem to do their job pretty well. You have a lot more emotion from the japanese main character’s voice actor, however the lip syncing is made for the English version, so that might throw you off.
    Moving on to gameplay and animations, this game delivers as well, albeit with some flaws. Exploring is a big part of this game, so the controls really aid you here as they feel smooth and well polished. The combat is very well done and tons of fun, and really delivers at making you feel like a badass samurai. However, I’ve found the difficulty curve to stop evolving as you learn the enemy moveset and different stances and earn some upgrades. In Act 1, at least I felt the need to crank the difficulty to hard as I was able to just fight 10 people at once if I used everything in my arsenal. By Act 2, new enemy types were introduced, which meant I had to learn new moves again, which made the game challenging again, but then, same story. Not a bad thing by any means, as this only proves the game rewards exploration and learning mechanics. The downside to the combat is the camera work and the lack of a “lock on” type of feature, sometimes the camera will zoom in too much if you’re in a tight spot and you won’t see enemies properly, or when sneaking into tight spaces it might set you off. Animation wise, the game does a decent job, with some animations clipping through objects, such as when walking in different terrain types. Also, I’ve noticed that, when riding/walking through bamboo forests you just clip through every tree. I’m not sure if this was done on purpose to sort of trick the player when riding on a horse that he managed to squeeze through a narrow gap, or it’s just a bug.
    One final thing that I will talk about that stood out to me is the attention to detail. The fact that you have no HUD apart from your Health and Resolve while in combat means you have to have enough detail for the player to be able to catch on to certain things, and the game does just that. They even do that with your character’s “special moves”, those are like your abilities in AC Odyssey, if you will. Except, you don’t just unlock them and slot them in and then you use them. The game goes even further and basically gives you a quest, which involves you searching for certain things, and it always culminates with a badass duel or epic fight where your characters acquires said ability. This really caught my attention and I enjoyed it tremendously, since it helps immerse you even more.
    All in all this game is worth every penny, and the developers did an amazing job at creating a samurai open world game where you can really see the beauty of Tsushima island and feel like you’re part of its background. While having a few oddities in terms of camera and animations, there’s a lot of other positives that make this game truly special, and even if you’re not a fan of japanese culture this game will reel you in and you’ll learn on the go.    … 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.
