    Best Game On This Earth. It Is a Master Piece. A few minor glitches but nothing serious

    No Debate.

    I haven't felt like I've gotten my money's worth out of a game in a long time, until now. This game is GORGEOUS and makes you feel like an absolute badass. The story is amazing and the optimization options are fantastic.

    This game is one of the game of the year contenders of this year vs last of us 2 and cyberpunk 2077. And for me who played and platinum this game it blew my mind. Please support Suckerpunch by buying this game because if they keep making high quality games we will have another masterpiece in the making. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE experience the game for yourself do yourself a favor

    you can feel Kurosawa in this game. There is minor issues , but it won't hold me to give this game full score review. The landscapes are incredibly beautiful, great score and of course the game play is awesome. I love the styles of fight , developers did great job studding the way of samurai fights.

    Ghost of Tsushima might be a generic open world game, but the story is really well written. Side stories have life on it and the combat is really satisfying.

"Ghost of Tsushima takes the best elements of Assassins Creed and Far Cry, throws in some of the signature Sucker Punch flair that made Infamous so successful and ends up being something that is both familiar and unique at the same time. The stealth elements are not the strongest, and aside from the missions requiring stealth, I almost always took the more forward approach to combat, but the freedom to DO that is part of what makes the game so good. Sony has consistently released incredible, single player, story focusedexclusives for the PS4… Expand

    This game, and it's score, should serve as further proof of the disconnect between ratings from critics vs ratings from real players. This game is a home run on every front. From the beautiful scenery to the engaging gameplay. Every bit of this game is enjoyable.

Ghost of Tsushima is the game I waited a life time to play and thought we’d never get because there were too many samurai-esk games out already. I’ve wanted to explore feudal Japan in shiny clad armor and lerk in the grass with my straw ronin hat for a long time. I have Hokusai art all through my house if tells you anything and can never pass up a epic Japanese tale. This has been a dream of mine. And here we are in 2020 and this might mark my favorite game to date. Now that’s not for lack of it actually being a great game. If it wasn’t rewarding and fun to play, if the story, lack of hud, and wonderfully orchestrated events and combat didn’t come together so amazingly I would be ripping my controller in half from a life time of anticipation ending in disappointment but luckily my controllers are safe as this is an amazing game to play and everything I ever dreamed. It’s fun, it’s difficult at times, it’s rewarding, it’s sad, it’s a roller coast that just keeps going! My only suggestion would be to get out there and play it for yourself. Turn off the phone, shut the laptop, and get lost in an amazingly put together journey.… Expand

    Hats off to Sucker Punch for giving us a wonderful samurai game that I've been longing for a decent one for a long time. Still, after clearing the game and completing the Platinum Trophy, I can't get enough of it. Everything is wonderful in the Ghost of Tsushima! Its really worth buying day one!

    Beautiful world full of nooks and crannys to explore. Good not great side characters. Combat is fleshed out well. Customizing jin is fun. Side quests can be boring and repetitive. Luckily exploring a beautiful world and great combat makes up for any grievances here. If you own a ps4 you should definetly play this game

    After 10 or so hours of this repetitiveness, I began to grow bored. I would actively avoid the random encounters and forts as there really wasn't enough variation to warrant doing something I'd done 20 times before. There aren't really any super compelling stories in the side quests, and the rewards they offer aren't worth the repetition.

    I really did enjoy the waypoint mechanic and lack of a normal hud, it a pretty refreshing change from the majority of games that are beginning to feel cluttered. The main story was pretty good, but the main story quests were also a bit lacking and repetitive by the time I had gotten halfway through act 2.    … Expand

    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.
