    Very good game, the environment is beautiful, pushes this generation to the max in terms of visuals while also delivering some breath taking dialogue, loved it ever since it's original reveal, the open world adds so much to it.

Плюсы можете посмотреть у продажных блогеров. Игра очень скучная и монотонная. У вас есть основной квест. И он не как не зависит от стиля вашей игры. Разработчики построили простую сюжетную, линейную игру. К примеру, вы можете быть самураем, у которого честь при выше всего. Но сюжет вертел этот ваш отыгрыш и желания. Всю будет точно по сценарию. Или, например вы будете играть за скрытого шиноби. И сражаясь из тени. Это не как не повлияет на сюжет. Ну разве что вы увидите пару воспоминаний. И в 2020 этот подход выглядит очень тупо и скучно. Но это не худшее. Проблемы есть и в кветсах. Все, начиная от побочных заканчивая сюжетными сводиться к убийству монгол. И от этого начинает тошнить уже к середине игры. Они сделаны на столько монотонно и однообразно. Что под час вы просто стараетесь их избежать что бы не затягивать игру. Вы скажете, но квесты то хоть интересные? Нет. Они еще хуже. Они линейны и могут проходиться почти в любом порядке. Из-за этого рушится восприятие. Например, средний квест состоит из 9 миссий. В первой части карты 4 и во второй 3, и 2 в третьей части карты. Допустим в первой вы все проигнорировали начали выполнять во второй карет. И там выполнили все квесты потом вернулись в первую карту и начали с начала выполнять с 1 по 4. И в четвертом задание вы получаете координаты 5 который вы уже выполнили. Бредово звучит да? Но это так. В игре даже открытый мир тупо сделан. Вы можете найти сюжетную крепость, при приближении к которой вас тут же будут убивать 7-8 стрел из неоткуда. То есть, по сути, исследовать лучше уже когда все сюжетные квесты закончены. Тогда у вас не будет возникать вопросы почему из неоткуда в вас летят стрелы. Так же в игре нельзя пропустить не одной сцены. Вы зачистили лагерь монголов. Их тут много. Вам показывают один из трех роликов: «главный герой спит рядом с лошадью, стоит и смотрит на поселение или выжженый монгольский лагерь, показывают природу в конце вас». Это длится где-то минуту. Пропустить нельзя. Вот вам это будет нравиться, когда вы это увидите в 30 раз? И мне нет. А просто надпись что вы подняли уровень у святилища в 10 раз? В одной пробочке вам надо победить 4 абсолютно одинаковых генерала, при этом перед победой вы должны сжечь 4 лагеря. Перед тем как их сжечь их надо зачистить. Причем все это будет проходить по одному сценарию. Который повторялся уже 30 раз до этого. Если вы, конечно, внимательно играете. К сожалению метакритик имеет ограничения и не дает больше расписать про игру.… Expand

    It's a great game with fantastic graphics, that said it gets a bit repetitive and there's not much to find through exploring other than cosmetics, if it had a little more weight in its RPG mechanics and more rewarding exploration it would have been a 10.

Ghost of Tsushima is the best of this genre I have played in the last 15 years. I hate games that hold your hand and have 200 icons on the screen, this game uses the wind to tell you where to go, a simple yet clever mechanic. The combat is not hard and not easy it is balanced perfectly while being fun.

    I am only into the 2nd act of 3, and I am not bored. The story is good, the side quests are better than the norm and the environment is very detailed and doesn't feel like it has been copy pasted. I believe there are over 40 biomes, and the way they blend/transition into one another is very well done. The game also lets you play how you want to, you can be sneaky or full on kamikaze mode.

    If you have been bored with Assassins Creed games, but like open world style, give this a go.    … Expand

    This is the pinnacle of open world design. Armor, vanity items, music, haiku, and even the fox den are incredible. Better story than most. Better combat than most. Good enough sleath. So many choices. I hope Ubi, and Guerilla look at this games and study everything that work which was basically everything.

    -Initially fun gameplay: The game is very fun to play for the first third of the game
    -Innovative guidance for missions: Using the wind to guide the player, birds to follow, and foxes to follow to shrines is truly innovative Cons
    -Weak story: The main plot could have been great, but ultimately doesn't leave a lasting impression.Had this been a 25 to 30 hour game, the story may have had more impact -Repetitive gameplay at the 25 hour mark: While fun at first, the gameplay gets old about halfway through the game and you will find yourself avoiding enemies when possible
    -Weak side missions: Any side mission not involving a main side character is truly forgettable -Length of the game: Hate to hammer this home, but this game would be better served if it were shorter
    -Very Dumb AI, even on hardest difficulty: Enemies will stare at the wall, get stuck on things, shoot each other, and are easy to defeat. Even the generals don't pose much of a challenge.

    Do not let all of the reviews mentioning how much better the game is than TLOU2 impact you as the game will not live up to the hype if you do (this is what happened to me). If you expect a good but not great game, then you will be satisfied with Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

A água é uma das piores coisas que eu já presenciei em um game, completamente morta e escura, quando Jin anda sobre poças ou nada você não sente que ele tem contato com a água pois não existe física entre eles.

    So what about GoT? It's a really great game in first act and part of 2nd, but then it rams into a typical open world game "wall" - the point where it gets really repetitive and boring. You're just clearing those places on a map like bamboo cuts, duels, haikus and other collectible **** So by the 3rd act you're really bored with it + snowy setting ain't helping with adding even minimal variety. You're just running from one mongol camp to another (there's even chain of side quests involving this - to give you some motivation lol). Sooo..

The plot is very interesting as you meet different characters who are being affected by the war between the Japanese and the Mongols. If we were just basing the game on those two factors, this would be a 10. However there is a huge problem underneath its beautiful façade.

    The biggest problem with this game is its camera system and its combat system. Trust me when I say that you cannot sneak through this game forever, you will eventually have to fight a group of enemies and that turns to a huge pain when you are playing at Normal or above difficulty.

    The camera is a big hinderance when you are surrounded by large group of enemies, when you dodge the camera will not auto focus and you will often lose track of enemies, so you have to readjust often and you cannot auto lock onto an enemy. if only Sucker Punch would have implemented something like Batman Arkham City, where you can lock on to one enemy and then move onto the next one after you defeated the previous enemy, then I would not have any gripe about this game.

    Occasionally I will also notice that items and location will glitch out as well, but that's to be expected for a huge open world game. Games like The Witcher 3 and GTA V have their glitches as well. Overall, a beautiful game with quite a few things to do with a good plot, however its combat and camera leave a lot to desire.    … Expand

Visual presentation is phenomenal for an open world game, with richly detailed environments peppered with things to do and enemies to fight. Not too much, but not tool little. The world feels lived in and realistic, driven by outstanding visuals, excellent performances, tight polished combat and a focused, well written story.

    Combat mechanics and encounters are literal perfection allowing the player to alternate between Assassins Creed style stealth or open combat initiated in a "Samurai standoff". 4 separate, easy to switch between stances for each enemy type can be earned and in combination with dodge and parry mechanics allow the player to effortlessly engage anything (and any number of enemies) the game throws at you.

    Upgrades are integrated into the world via hot springs, bamboo "strikes" and several others lending to the immersion and are intuitive and easy to understand. The map is regularly updated with waypoints and points of interest (ie, the game respects your time)

    Armor sets, sword sets, dyes, upgrade trees for weapons, armor and all skills round out one of the most feature complete and polished games ever made. Modern and polished, fast paced and tight, rewarding combat. You will absolutely immerse into the world and feel like an unstoppable samurai by the end of the game.

    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.
