    Professional reviews, they say. Forget about them: this game deserves a 10. Amazing work, stunning visuals, intense combat... I only hope that a sequel will be released.

    Apesar de ter alguns problemas de textura, o jogo está lindo, jogabilidade muito boa, história boa e uma ótima exploração da ilha de tsushima.

    The game absolutely engulfed me. At times, I felt like a real samurai. Absolutely excellent sound and music. The environment is beautiful. The graphic side of the game disappointed me a bit, but I still have to give the game the full number of points. Maybe an update will be released soon, which fixes minor bugs ..

    It's not perfect, but it is an "actual" masterpiece. The critic review of this compared to The Last of Us 2, shows how out of touch gaming journalist at major outlets have become with gaming and gamers. Stick with the independent outlets and YouTubers.

    I gave a standing ovation at the ending.

    The action, graphics, and scenarios were great. It would have been better if AI was smarter and could add to the tension.

    This is a wonderful game. Waited for this all my life. Game of the Year so far. Real Samurai with beautiful settings. Perfect gameplay not grinding nonsense.

    One of the best release for PS 4 in 2020. Outstanding start but end a bit bored and meditative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is without a doubt one of the best games I'm played this year and I clearly enjoyed this game a lot more then Last Of Us 2.

    The reason I say this is because I got everything I wanted from this game the gameplay was good the level design of the game was beautiful and the story was a hell of a lot better then the game I mentioned earlier on this review. The Combat on    Ghost of Tsushima is without a doubt one of the best games I'm played this year and I clearly enjoyed this game a lot more then Last Of Us 2.

    The reason I say this is because I got everything I wanted from this game the gameplay was good the level design of the game was beautiful and the story was a hell of a lot better then the game I mentioned earlier on this review.

    The Combat on the game is really good too how each fight you have to switch your stance in order to defeat enemies and how you chose to engage the enemy is down to you choice you can either take them out stealth wise which can be very Satisfying or you can fight them head on and that's another thing I want to point about this game when it comes to the story of this game at the end you have a choice on what you want to do at the end of the game something we never got on TLOU 2.

    That aside I really enjoyed this game a lot It had pretty much everything I wanted to see on a video game and in my opinion Ghost of Tsushima is the real Game of the year.    … Expand

    The world of Ghost of Tsushima is dark and depressing. Whenever you catch yourself smiling it is probably because of the beautiful scenery or the extremely fun gameplay.

I completed the game 100% in around 60 hours which is around the time I like to spend on a game like this before it gets tiring. Ghost of Tsushima did get a bit repetitive gameplay-wise later on and the story dragged on a little too much as well, but overall it's one of the best gaming experiences I've had in the last few years.… Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima feels made with a lot of love, dedication and care, I'm surprised it's not in the top 5 PS4 exclusives on metacritic. Highly recommended to play it on PS5 for 60 fps.

    I'll say this upfront, the game is gorgeous and it looks and feels like a freakin' movie.
    However, the gameplay becomes quite repetitive (imo after the first act everything is just more of the same), the stealth is a mess and and the AI is quite dumb.

    Twelve hours in, can't get enough of the fighting system. The world is also awesome to explore. One of the most amazing art direction I've seen! I can see how it could get a little repetitive after a while but I'm having a great deal of fun so far! Definitely the best PS4 release of the year.

Now this game has the best photo mode I have ever seen. You can change the weather, time of day, add birds and leaves, change the wind speed, add filters and create animated shots. The gameplay is good but it gets much better the more you play and unlock everything. It's a mix of a couple different games. It's kind of like some of the AC games. But they added a couple new things like the wind showing you where to go. And animals helping you to find things. Im not done playing it but so far it's great. The story so far is solid. It's not amazing but it's not bad either. The only probem I have so far is the lack of lock on and the brightness settings. At night I turn down the brightness so it's actually dark. And then I turn it back up when it's day. Oh and the stand offs are cool but kind of easy. It's cool though and is a lot of fun. Overall it's a fun and great looking game. Let's hope Metacritic doesn't remove this review...… Expand

    This is a game that makes you feel connected with the story, with the game world and more understand why japanese people always talk about honor before anything else

    This is a game with a very good soundtrack which makes you feel you are the samurai or we could say “the ghost”

    And what an ending, especially when jin said to his uncle “i will”

    Ghost of Tsushima is an excellent game. From the graphics to the gameplay to the story it all shines. Talking about the gameplay it is so satisfying when you defeat an enemy. Exploring the open world is so fun. Instead of having a marker on your screen there is a wind tracking mechanic that feels so satisfying. Overall a must play.

    Way too boring.
    You can shift difficulty on mid playthru, thing that i hate. There's no challenge that way.
    Character looks ugly, specially women.
    Game don't stop holding my hand, which is really annoying.

    Story and art are good.

    Ghost of Tsushima leaves as the last exclusive for the Playstation 4 and does it with a bang.

    This game offers an absolute breathtaking journey with outstanding visuals, gameplay and story.

    Ghost of Tshusima is a strong contender for GOTY and one of the best games the Playstation 4 has offered.

    The combat is incredibly fun, and the game is just gorgeous to look at. One of my favorite parts about the game is the Haiku sequences, it's a very unique mechanic and I find to be very fun and honestly relaxing to do.

    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.
