    No checkboxes and no Abby makes this game the PS4 GOTY for 2020. Hope developers get the message but we gotta see. 10/10, what a lovely way to say goodbye to the PS4 era.

    A tribute to the Japanese nature and culture. Ghost of Tsushima manages to deviate from the ugly tropes of most open-world games by delivering a beautiful world with a solid narrative and great gameplay mechanics.

I just want to give an honest review. I loved the open world and combat, and the graphics are pretty good if that's your thing, but it has never been a must for me. The story is a little cliche' at times, which is where the score comes down for me, because that tends to be the most important factor in my book. This game is a SOLID 7-7.5 but 9.3 is people spamming it with false reviews. It's nothing revolutionary but it does what it does decently well.… Expand

The campaign is incredibly long and it provides a ton of entertainment for the money. I had one minor issue that prevented this game from achieving a perfect score. There were a few points in the game in which things were going at a hectic pace but because I failed to hit a point of the screen to move the action forward I was stuck in a holding pattern running around aimlessly wondering what I had failed to do. Before realizing that had I only moved my character to a specific spot the game would have moved along. Also, I was able to complete the game without finishing every mission (which is fine) but when I continued after completing the game it gave off a silly sense of urgency vibe that shouldn't have existed. Make no mistake, I loved this game and thought it was an amazing gaming experience, it's just not perfect, very close, but not quite.… Expand

    The graphics are so damn good. Every 5 minutes I found myself stopping to take in the view and snapping pics from the great photo mode, which offer a lot of creative options. The combat system really shines on hard mode, at first you'll find yourself dying a lot, but it makes you wanna be better and after you master the way of the samurai, you'll feel so cool when they can't even touch you. And even cooler when you wipe away the blood from your blade and put it away graciously.
    Finally the atmosphere and immersion this game offers is masterful, riding your horse in the fields while epic Japanese music is playing, really is one the best feelings ever. I can't remember a time when I enjoyed a game so much. Thank you Sucker Punch for the amazing game! 10/10    … Expand

Everything is fairly fluid and the visuals are absolutely gorgeous. The combat is flashy and punchy, but is a bit too simple for its own good, particularly for a game of this length. By the time you reach the second section of Tsushima island, you will be incredibly overpowered and capable of demolishing most encounters, and the game does fairly little to challenge you from there on out.

    As an open world game, Tsushima shoots for the Horizon Zero Dawn method of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". It's a fairly generic open world structure; you take over enemy encampments, run random tasks for the inhabitants, and find points of interest to get cosmetics and various upgrades and items.

    Some aspects of the game are a bit buggy or unpolished. The camera can become a monster in close quarter encounters; you may end up looking at the middle of a clipped-through tree while Jin gets wailed on by people you can't see or dodge. This isn't usually a problem in open plains or more spacious villages, but fighting indoors or in the denser wooded sections can be genuinely impossible at times. Fighting works pretty well usually, but you will have to adapt to a weird and stiff pseudo-lock on system. Jin will face an enemy, and begin moving slowly, and it can be a bit sluggish to jerk him out of that to target another enemy that's further away. Archery feels great, but drawing and knocking is inconsistent. If you press R2 too quickly after L2, Jin will just sit there and wait for you to repress R2. On that note, R2 is used far too much for context sensitive actions, crawl into a stealth area? R2. Pick up items? R2. Talk to people? R2. Grapple onto something? R2. Pull up your quick swap menus? R2. This all works ok, but can get awkward when you're collecting items and instead your menu comes up and slows it all down. It feels poorly thought out.

    Overall these gameplay issues are fairly minor, but they will cause some annoyance pretty regularly.

    The side content is consistently passable, although the mythic quests are particularly good. The general structure of most content is talk to a peasant, go do thing for them, oh no! They lied about something! Go tell them they shouldn't do that and get your reward. It's not very interesting but the combat and exploration is fun enough to carry it. The mythic quests bring a little more intrigue, usually bringing in some mystic or legendary elements and have much better set pieces about on par with the main story.

    All in all, Sucker Punch set out to make a fun, polished, open world Kurosawa-esque samurai flick of a game, and they succeeded. It won't blow your mind very often, but it will suck you in with its setting and visuals. With a little more care, the combat could've stayed fresh throughout, and some of the padding could've been cut (we don't need to follow a fox for 20 seconds 49 different times, please and thank you) to make the stronger content really shine. I'd probably give this an 8.3 or 8.4, maybe an update will smooth out my issues and push this closer to a 9.    … Expand

On top of all that the island of Tsushima is absolutely amazing making exploration one of the best features of the game.

    My few issues with the game are with the physics. Most of the time unnoticeable but every now and then you’ll get some issues for example fighting on a cliff or rooftop it’s hard to yeet your enemies to their death due to an invisible like barrier. Other than that my only other problem with the game is a lot of the quests so far repeat the same formula, talk to a villager/ally, investigate the area for clues, follow footsteps or tracks, etc.

    These issues are easily forgiven though due to the game offering so much done right. I’m 25+ hours in and just scratching the surface of Act 2. Can’t wait for the rest of the journey and what comes from Sucker Punch/GoT in the future. Game Of The Year for me so far.    … Expand

Sucker punch crafted an amazing open world; and I was constantly amazed at how beautiful it was. I was also was constantly surprised by how deep this game was, whether that be by side content, the robust rpg elements, rewards, or even cosmetics. Story-wise it was good, nothing really amazing imo. The game had decent amount of A.I issues that did break the immersion for me personally, and I wouldve like to have seem more mission design variety. Overall, though I did really enjoy this game, and can easily reccomend if you like the mix of AC and the witcher.

    Pros:
    + Open world is amazing, one of the most aesthetically pleasing ones to look at and explore
    + Combat is fun and addicting
    + Mythic tales, and shinto shrines, I even liked the haiku's a lot (side content)
    + Surprisingly robust and deep rpg elements
    + Decent story
    + A lot of content

    So-So's:
    * Jin definately grew from an uninteresting character to somewhat enjoyable by the end, and that goes for almost all major side characters.
    * Khotun Khan was under-used, could've almost challenge Vaas (Far cry 3), as one of the more badass villains, but alas..no
    * Side missions overall were ok, the variety was def there...but still some were interesting, some were generic.

    Cons:

    - Stealth was too basic.
    - Enemy A.I ranges from mediocre, to average. Combat wise, they were decent, but everything else.. below average- mediocre.
    - Mission design could've had more variety. Ride, Combat, stealth was mostly it.    … Expand

    1* THE LOADING TIMES are extremly fast. You get the sucker punch logo when you boot up. Then you can continue, and it loads this game in very very fast. I`m talking less then 20 seconds. Personally I just find this fantastic.

    2* THE FAST TRAVEL again, is extremly fast...you can fast travel and depending on the location it can take as little as 5-8 seconds. This game is so well optimized.

    3* CONTROLS are just excellent. The combat is extremly fluid and you can really tell they put a lot of effort into this combat mechanic. Fan-funcking-tastic!

    4* LITTLE TO NO BUGS, maybe I just got lucky...but I have ran into almost NO bugs. Sure sure...I have seen some clipping and even I got stuck between a building and a stone wall this one time, but the game automaticlly resets your potions when you "FLOAT" for more than 10 seconds. Excellent.

    5* THE SOUNDTRACK...now, usualy I `m not one who cares much about music in a game, but I actually listened to this games soundtracks while I was working and doing study. So relaxing.

    6* THE VALUE. I got this game on release date and I have been playing (Almost) the entire weekend.I have gotten at least 20-25 hours in and I only just last night cleared the first Island.
    There is so much content here...this game truly is WORTH the €60-70 bucks.

    So, I’m here to rate a game for only the second time in my life. That’s not because I don’t like other games or that I am especially difficult to please, it is because no games have inspired my lazy arse to write a review that they so thoroughly deserve.

    This is why Ghost of Tsushima is different. Not only different, but in a league of its own. I grew up in the late 90’s and early 00’s playing games such as the Way of the Samurai series and watching films in the likes of The Last Samurai and Kill Bill. This gave me my love of samurai and all things ancient Japan. To say that Ghost of Tsushima is everything I wanted and more is an understatement. This is a 10 year old me’s wet dream.
    The game itself is breathtakingly beautiful. The soundtrack is completely perfect. The whole package is better than most films or series produced over recent years. And what I especially love is that this game is so accessible that a love for medieval japan is by no means necessary to fall in love with the game.

    After about 20 - 25 hours of gameplay, I started to get really frustrated with this experience. It just felt like any other Ubisoft/contemporary open-world adventure game.

    Even this feature of having no 'hub, side quest marker' instead you have to follow a trail left by the wind...that is a quest marker....like? Yes, it makes you feel more immersed in the setting, but damn? like! it is just a sidequest marker. I think what it does do is make you more engaged with the scenery around you (the graphics in this game are gorgeous, the setting of Tsushima is gorgeous.

    I personally just wish they took more opportunity here to give us more to learn/explore and randomly encounter within this gorgeous real location. Like even playing more into Japanese Folklore/history would have kinda been great.

    I will say you are absolutely getting your money's worth with this title. I do believe that with games coming out these days the real bar for expectation is certainly very low. So it's not slightly surprising that a game like this would come out and really impress everybody?

    I will say, for what it is, this is a very well-crafted videogame that a lot of love did go into. I won't say it's bad either. But I was definitely wanting more?

    *oh also, I spent roughtly 60 hours plaing this thing...don't u dare tell me I didn't put enough time into this....becasue I did....way too much....    … 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.
