    honestly this game, has some flaws but despite them i cannot stop loving it. If you want to, this game can be really hard, for those that love a challenge even though as the story advances the game get easier with the addition of the ever growing arsenal of combos and active skills.

    The games style is really amazing, the beauty of Tsushima that goes beyond just the graphics, and its cinematic style is just .... stylish.
    This game delivers on "be a Samurai" ... god d*mmit this game delivers that with full marks, you can how ever choose to go around shinobi style but that is (except in some missions) optional. Dont go around thinking this is a ninja game because it is first a Samurai experience and a Ninja game in fifth.
    The story is above passible, it drives you forward but i could empathize with most NPC's and Jin.
    The biggest criticism about this game for me is the asynchronous japanese voice track, it is a western production but still i feel disappointed in its terrible synchronization even though the voice acting is the typical high quality that one would expect from japanese voice actors.
    Overall for anyone seeking some little advice, do some of the first missions where you get assassination and the bow, after that you can really start enjoying the world as the options just open up properly at that point.
    And that is something i really dont like in open world games when normal things like shops and collectibles(in this one neither are luckily) are behind story missions but you can already explore the world... the assassination i get, but the bow... really?... and armor REALLY?
    The game is in some areas definitely not as polished as other open worlds like rdr2, rdr2s animations were polished af if you dont provoke it, but Ghost has no dynamic walking animations for slopes and such its always the animation for horizontal movement, for an exclusive that was in the works for 5+ years that is a bit weak, BUT that is nitpicking for a FANTASTIC game experience.
    Still i wish for some adjustment for the japanese voice tracks, they them selves are awesome but asynchronousness of them are just brutal ;(    … Expand

    This is not the best game, but it's better than tlou2 and that's enough for 9 =)

    For this game I don't think even a 10/10 would justify how enjoyable it is. No it's not a perfect game - especially stealth game play felt unpolished and clunky. That's precisely I'm giving it a 9/10 but the entertainment value is so much higher than any 10/10 game you can name, including that TLOU2 crap. Get this game, Seriously!

    This game is really good!!! I've been wait for a game like this for a long time. Final a samurai game that don't have demons or magic. Just real hand to hand combat. The color and the environment that you run in are just beautiful.you can see how sucker punch really put there passion in to this game. Now don't get me wrong it can get a little boring. But over all it's still fun to play..

    I Cant believe Metacritic Score its 83, this is when i see a lot of reviewers doing dirty work, to get money from developers. Tlou 2 its a piece of .... with a bad history and tons of bugs and they score 94. Its shame, i think metacritic was a good page to check the scores of games.

    Great game in all aspects. The "journalists" have once again proved to everyone their incompetence. Great music, atmosphere, gameplay, narration of an interesting story, design of the world, lack of faceless heroes. SPECIAL THANKS that this isn't TLOU2

    The game is amazing. Plot is definitely better than tlou2. Game mechanics nice, battle system is great, cool side quests. Graphics also nice, but there is some character animation issues, that looks bad.

    Anyway this game totally worth to buy and try it.

    Do not go into this expecting a Sekiro like combat system. Yes there is parrying but not even close to what Sekiro did. And that is not a bad thing. GoT took a complete different route and it is the most rewarding combat system I have felt in years. It feels like a movie is playing out everytime I fight a mob of 10 people. It is fluid, responsive, beautiful, and precise. There isn't a combat system that I can even compare it to.

    I struggle with pushing through open world games. I get bored halfway through and have to push to just beeline through the main story. Well, Not with GoT. I am close to unlocking everything and I STILL don't want it to end. I wish like hell that there was an NG+ mode.

    I hate when I see people say this is the "Samurai Assassins Creed". Please shut up with that blasphemy. Assassins creed WISHES it could be like Ghost of Tsushima.

    I am blown away, Sucker Punch. Thank you for delivering such a masterpiece and living up to the hype.    … Expand

    Amazing open world, the best open world to explore in a game so far, from beautiful orange trees to rain in Misty marshes, every 10 minutes I found myself taking a picture because it just looked great. Story was very interesting and the side missions were very high quality, have spent over 30 hours so far and could easily play this for 30 more.

    Lo mejor del juego es sin duda su exquisito uso de la luz, colores y el sistema de combate. Su mundo abierto aunque vistoso carece del nivel de detalle y riqueza de un AC o RDR2, repite texturas por doquier y los interiores son muy muy mejorables. Los PNJ y los animales... de PS3.

    El Juego es de los mas bellos que he visto en mi vida, la historia y temática es muy muy buena y los combates son distintos y apasionantes, el juego es atrayente de principio a fin, es una "Obra Maestra". Se trata de un juego con una calificación de 9,5-10, prácticamente perfecto en todos los apartados.

    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.
