    What more is to say, about a game with great scenario, battle mechanics, graphics, everything? The Game Of The Year voted by the fans, but the critics were just got paid not to give this title! But we all know who really won the 2021 awards and why (despite the bombing) is the highest user rated game of it's generation! ;)

    La versión de PS5 es una maldita pasada, no le pueden sentar mejor los 60 fps. Gráfica y artísticamente de lo mejor del catálogo de PS4 junto a the last of us 2, acompañado de una banda sonora espectacular. Un imprescindible.

    This game is the complete package. I played PS4 version on PS5.
    The combat is extremely tight and responsive with enough variety and options to play to the style that you prefer. You can go and take on entire gangs or you can be strategic and use throwables to isolate and take down. You feel like an absolute badass by the later stages of the game.
    Graphically the game is beautiful and

    Graphically the game is beautiful and quite varied as you travel around the lush open world.
    On top of the main storyline missions, there are a huge amount of side missions to undertake and they're well designed and not overly repetitive. They also directly link in with the main storyline which I really like.
    The story is well written and the characters are memorable.
    On top of the main and side missions there are other smaller tasks to complete which are very well implemented and really help build the spiritual side of being a samurai.
    I would recommend this game to anyone.
    One of the best games I've played in the last few years.

    Played this on launch, simply outstanding even with it's flaws. Stealth is smooth and logical. Combat is surprisingly fluid. Then there's the game world, even on a base PS4 it is truly stunning.

    I'd say the only flaw that might be annoying to a lot of players is how "gappy" the story can and could possibly have done with a bit more substance.

    Лучшая игра от Sucker Punch на данный момент.
    Из плюсов, ожидаемо: графика, локации - иногда отваливается челюсть (версия PS5). Неожидаемо: неплохой сюжет и прописанные персонажи (хоть его и мало). Из минусов: очень много гринда и однообразных заданий (привет вопросикам из Ведьмака 3), по геймплею игра выдыхается и не удивляет во второй половине.

    TL;DR This game is rough around the edges with its story and bloated world but the combat, art design and music make this game special.

    I wish i liked this game more. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of quality to be found here and i think this game deserves a lot of the praise it gets but i can't help but feel like it didn't quite match the mountain of expectations i had for it.

    As far as the art design is concerned, it is gorgeous. Perhaps the most beautiful AAA open world game i have ever experienced and one of the best looking games period. The environments are so vibrant, so full of colour and so full of movement/life. It is so nice to often take a moment to just walk the horse through it and take in the atmosphere because they really did nail the look of this game. One thing about the graphics that i can't however praise is the facial animations. I have been spoiled lately when it comes to the quality of facial animations and this game just doesn't do them well enough. There are plenty of close-ups and i can never truly decipher character emotions looking at their facial expressions because the tech is not good enough. Otherwise, i like the way the game looks. I like the very minimal HUD, the use of wind for guidance and the emphasis on looking around to get by without relying on the map.

    Unfortunately, i wasn't a big fan of the open world. It was immensely beautiful but i'd argue it was too large and the activities meant to fill it were both too repetitive and too inconsistent in quality. I think there were too many side quests and a lot them kinda just blended together in my mind. Some were great but i think their writing generally wasn't memorable. I just never got the feeling that my encounters with NPCs was ever unique or special. By the time i had finished the main story, there were still plenty of side quests i hadn't finished or even touched. A lot of the other side content was lacklustre too apart from the Bamboo Strikes which i actively looked for at every oppurtunity.

    The story was good enough. It deals with a lot of interesting and relatable topics but it's never anything you haven't seen in some capacity elsewhere. I will admit, it does have some excellent moments; one in particular culminating in my favourite fight of the game but i think the excellence of this story shines through too seldomly. The characters are mostly quite likeable with one being a clear standout. Head and shoulders above the rest.

    But what this game really does well and what kept me playing was its gameplay. It's so good. Basically, it makes you feel dangerous and often, when the music is on full blast, it makes you feel heroic. It taps into that Samurai power fantasy so well and when playing it on Hard or Lethal difficulty, keeping up with the pace the game sets that difficulty, well, there's nothing else like it. And my word, the one on one duels in this game! Some of them are truly incredible. It is annoying how enemies on Lethal difficulty can one shot you in a duel but i think its worth it for the sheer pace and the frantic feeling of a back and forth dance of steel between deadly blades. It's a very good thing that Sucker Punch decided to make the duels replayable. I never played much of the stealth because the combat was so good.

    Edit: Most of this review was written on 6 March but since I’ve had more time, I thought I’d add some more thoughts on this. I like it more than I thought I did when I wrote this review. I didn’t mention it earlier but one of the missions in this game actually made me geek out in a way I haven’t done in years. I’m talking an all time great gaming moment and I think the soundtrack is incredibly underrated. The soundtrack, particularly the battle theme, supplements the combat and helps create that feeling of invincibility. I actually love this game.

    Looks good, but there is not much to do in Tsushima. Main campaign is pretty straight-forward. Most of the side-quests are boring and repetitive. And the worst part there is absolutely no reward for doing anything in the game - no useful items, resources become redundant after the first chapter, skill tree is very short (and also pretty useless).

    Absolute masterpiece of a video game! The combat is some of the best I've ever seen in a single player game. The environment and graphics are stunning and breath-taking. Several times I'd stop in my tracks in awe of the sunset, or flowers blowing in the wind. This is a must-play if you have a Playstation.

Everything from the artistic direction, to the story and dialogue, the whole way to the simple-yet-AWESOME Combat, it all makes for a grand package that’s guaranteed to leave beyond satisfied. The world itself is an accurate representation of the Japanese island of Tsushima, and you can tell Sucker Punch put their hearts and souls into recreating the island and its people as authentically and accurately as possible. The world-design itself isn’t special, some would even call it akin to “Ubisoft Formula”, but it gets hidden under the interesting and in-depth story, dynamic and purely satisfying combat, and the sheer beauty of the world. Apart from being gorgeous, you’re bound to find exploration and questing less of a chore and more of a reward than anything else, and sometimes you might find yourself purposely looking for enemies just to engage in the nearly flawless and extremely cinematic combat and gameplay. There’s also an online component, called Legends, that’ll have you competing in non-direct pvp against AI, or co-operative survival waves. These are fun but might get boring after many matches, and the lack of customization in this mode (compared to the main game that boasts a larger variety) is slightly disappointing for an online mode, but nonetheless I think the majority of players will find the mode meeting or exceeding their expectations. Sucker Punch have outdone themselves with this game, and I would be more than glad to see a sequel in the future. Easily would recommend! 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.
