    Хорошая игра. Недавно приобрёл специальное издание, доволен стилбуком (очень в тему игры). Что можно сказать об игре. Призрак Цусимы очаровала своей атмосферой и японской культурой, лично я любитель данного сеттинга. Всем советую поиграть в данную игру.Хорошая игра.

    Score tied in within the gameplay and scenery, made me feel like I was in feudal Japan. Gameplay felt fluid and brought the right amount of challenge to it. Story was great with awesome characters and relationships that made the adventure more fun and lovable. Great game, playstation made the right call for this being the final PS4 exclusive. Highly recommended to play

    The game is purely amazing. Fun combat, a huge map worth exploring, side missions and main missions. The graphics are beautiful, and the wind tracking mechanism is an amazing touch. I could go more into detail but I dont think I need to. You got to play this game.

    This game is just amazing. The aesthetics and the atmosphere of a feudal Japan are right on the spot, the combat is super fun and can be complex at times and the story is the best in the gaming industry this year so far. I honestly cannot understand how people can give a game like this a low score, just buy it, you won't regret it!

    The story mode is amazing the boss battles and combat the combat starts out barebones at first but gets better and better over time the mythic side quests are fun the boss battles are enjoyable and don't feel too hard or too easy in my opinion I'm 40 hours in and can't stop playing

    I Literally made a metacritic account just to rate and review this game. Since release this past Friday I have been playing in the amazing world of Ghost of Tsusima religiously. I am just in the beginning of Act 2 and I have barely touched the story because the open world that they have created is so incredible.

    This game is beautiful, the combat is beautiful and the story is beautiful, I expected the game to just be good, but I was blown away. The only complaint is the AI is sucky while doing stealth, but it’s not the worst thing ever, I just love this game, easily in one of my favorite games of all time

It has paid off more than I could have imagined. Amazing graphics, fluid gameplay. The fighting feels so good. The combat makes you think and adjust without turning into a button masher. Actually, if you try and button mash you are going to get dead real quick The sensory overload you get (playing with headphones) just immerses you completely. It took me no time at all to get used to the lack of a HUD. The storyline is just amazing, all the side quests and side stories each feel like their own movie. I am a 100% completion guy and none of it ever feels tedious. The only part I get a little nonplussed about is the camera angle can get a bit wonky sometimes, but Ghost is so quick and responsive you are able to get away and reset...which I have found most of the time you need to do to keep from being overwhelmed anyway. Overall, I am like 20 hours in and havnt completed act 1 yet. Like I said, a bit OCD on completing a game 100%........a huge 10/10 for me. I havnt rated a game that hight in a long time. Way to go sucker punch.… Expand

    An absolute masterpiece of a game. I got completely lost in this world. The colors are super aesthetic. The combat style is one of a kind. The story is fascinating. It is a must play for everyone who is a fan of these style of games. In my opinion, it is the best exclusive after God of War.

    One of the best open world games I have ever played. I have played and completed (usually 80-90% or more of map) Red Dead 2, AC Odyssey & Origins, Farcry 3 4 5, Fallout 3 & 4, Zelda BotW, Spiderman, Okami, and Infamous 1 & 2, to name a few.

I have played and completed (usually 80-90% or more of map) Red Dead 2, AC Odyssey & Origins, Farcry 3 4 5, Fallout 3 & 4, Zelda BotW, Spiderman, Okami, and Infamous 1 & 2, to name a few. I am a big fan of the open world genre but after AC Odyssey I was super burnt out and getting really tired of the formula especially the busy HUDs, habit of copy pasting assets to enlarge worlds, and unrefined clunkiness of player controls. Red Dead 2 has excellent story and visuals but the controls and movement never stopped feeling clunky to me up to the very end and AC Odyssey had so many reused assets just to pad out that massive map that there are few moments that really feel memorable plus the hold R2 and parkour to avoid the clunky object placement really got to me. So, I saw positive early reviews of this and since there is a bit of a release drought I decided to take a gamble and my god am I happy I did. This is really the type of improvement you hope for with every new iteration of the open world genre. First, the HUD is so clean that it literally feels good to look at. With the addition of it's guiding wind and helper birds mechanic plus actual environmental cues for certain sites visible from a long way away, I have rarely paused the game to check my map in hours of gameplay. It feels so good to play an open world game where I am not staring at a compass marker at the top of my screen or a minimap or opening my main map every 100 meters. I just ride through the landscape and easily find my marked objective while being gently led to unexpected surprises along the way. It's a real joy. Which brings me to the way this game looks. I haven't enjoyed art design in game so much since God of War. People may argue that RDR2 looks better blah blah blah. This game has such excellent use of lighting, color and movement plus a cohesive theme that I am constantly taken aback by some of the vistas and I have never been one of those people who stops and pans the camera in games or who ever uses photo mode. Seriously, it looks amazing and I have yet to encounter an environment that is copy paste. They crafted what seems to be dozens of completely unique environments and man, you just have to experience this game especially with the amazing weather. I dueled a guy in a ring of rusted samurai swords during a lightning storm and it is one of my most memorable gaming experiences of the past couple years. So gameplay. I see this getting bashed in some reviews and I am not sure why. Controls feel tight and everything feels so responsive in this game. Comparing again to AC Odyssey and RDR2, I summon my horse in this game and it is right there and I hit one button and am on it and riding all in less than five or six seconds. In ACO, your horse spawns several hundred meters behind you and objective points are clustered so freaking close that I pretty much sprinted across all of ancient greece. RDR2 was 'realistic' but so slow so bulky which I don't want in my video games. Combat is tight as well, good diversity in enemy types, nice amount of choice in player style, fun and meaningful upgrades, the lack of a lock-on was a great choice and I have yet to feel bored by combat. I genuinely still just love slicing Mongols up because it has great hit registration, I'm not teleporting into range or performing unbelievable acrobatics. If I don't space right I whiff and get punished but if I parry or dodge the game registers the timing and I never feel frustrated by it. Duels are fantastic because they remove your toolkit and its swords only in a fantastic setting with some genuinely challenging combat. Controls are easy to remember as well which is a big thing for me. Story you will either like or feel ambivalent towards I think. If you like old samurai movies, it will be fun but if you are expecting any humor or subversion of expectations then it won't live up to that. It does what it sets out to do very solidly and was never grating or annoying to me. I was along for the ride but not overly invested in it if that makes sense. Character customization is varied and looks great and pacing of upgrades/leveling is controlled very nicely. Really, I can recommend this game without hesitation. You're going to have a good time if you have ever enjoyed an open world game and if you don't like the genre this probably won't win you over but it still might be worth it if you play single player games like God of War or Last of Us since the map is not flooded with to-dos and you can easily just stick to the story and soak up the artwork.… Expand

    This game is amazing. To put it simply: It makes you feel like a samurai in Japan.

    Presentation: The visuals are beautiful. It goes for a mix of realism and artistic painting that completely makes you believe in the world on one side, and be simply mesmerized by the colors and the movement of the leaves in the wind on the other side. The sound and the voice acting are very good. in    This game is amazing. To put it simply: It makes you feel like a samurai in Japan.

    Presentation: The visuals are beautiful. It goes for a mix of realism and artistic painting that completely makes you believe in the world on one side, and be simply mesmerized by the colors and the movement of the leaves in the wind on the other side. The sound and the voice acting are very good. in particular, the sound of your sword when attacking and cutting through enemies never gets old. The music in this game will contribute to the feeling of immersion I mentioned earlier, the action pieces are going to keep you engaged through the encounters and the soft and more melodical pieces are very well done.

    Gameplay: The combat is fun and engaging, it keeps you on your toes constantly and in the hard difficulty in can be a serious challenge if not approached thoughtfully. Honestly one of the things I love about the game is that it keeps gamey elements that really make the experience a loooot better. For example: when riding on your horse, you can pick up resources and loot from the ground without having to get off the horse. This is just an example, but the game is filled with stuff like that and it gets away with those things because of the strong immersion it generates with its atmospherical music and visuals. In my opinion the gameplay loop (meaning the things that are the main elements of the game that you do over and over again) is extremely fun and well done. It is because of how fun the combat and the gameplay is that you will forgive a few things that you will need to get used to. Among these things: the sometimes bad camera will take some time to adjust to (once you understand and adjust to the camera, it gets a lot better) ; the movement of the character when traversing vertical obstacles doesn't feel very fluid; and the enemy AI is a bit lacking sometimes. These issuers are not game-breakers at all and in my personal opinion, you get used to them and accept the game as it is because it is so damn fun.

    Overall: you need to play this game. The visuals alone are a reason to experience it. If you add the addicting gameplay and combat you have a game that will keep you entertained and thinking about it for very long periods of time!    … 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.
