You guys managed to create what has been a dream game for me,so don't let the disconnected critics put your spirits down.I have already finished the main story,the mythic quests,and a large part of the tales and collectibles.I fully intend to 100% this game and get platinum on it because it deserves the time investment.The world isFirst of I'm gonna start by saying:Sucker Punch,good job!

    Ghost of Tsushima was a game I was initially sceptical about because I thought it wouldn’t ‘live up to the hype’ when I initially saw the reveal trailer and gameplay. I can safely say it is one of the best games I have ever played, right up there with 2018’s God of War, and like God of War it deserves game of the year, in my opinion.

I can safely say it is one of the best games I have ever played, right up there with 2018’s God of War, and like God of War it deserves game of the year, in my opinion.
    The story is filled with emotional moments; not once did I feel like anything was forced. The flow from each act was superbly executed. Never have I felt so emotional about a game since again God of War. Between Act II and Act III is we’re the tissue box came out.
    The gameplay was outstanding, it was a little tedious (fighting wise) to begin with but once I got the hang of it I couldn’t help but feel like such a badass. The duelling mechanic was a welcome surprise as I thought it was just for show during the release, but I was completely wrong.
    The Voice acting was brilliant and they deserve so much credit, I was hanging on every word they said.
    The visuals, I can’t begin to express how unbelievably beautiful they were, just absolutely jaw dropping. Thank god for photo mode, Inari be praised.
    Lastly, the soundtrack, needless to say the soundtrack has been downloaded to my phone it was that good, goosebumps. Had the perfect amount of emotion for those heavy hitting scenes, the battle music was just perfect. Just can’t express enough much I have throughly enjoyed this game, can’t wait to play it again on PS5. Hopefully it gets either a load of DLC content or a sequel. Absolutely outstanding job Sucker Punch, you ended the PS4 generation with an absolute masterpiece in my eyes.    … Expand

    Wirklich sehr gutes Spiel, mein Favorit für dieses Jahr. Das Spiel hat mir besser gefallen was die Atmosphäre und Authentische angeht liegt es KM vor The Last of Us. Ich liebe das spiel obwohl ich wa noch nicht durch habe, aber siw Nebenquest sind teilweise wirklich gut geschrieben. Das Spiel hat doe Games of the Year verdient.

    This game is absolutely amazing! The style, soundtrack, story, and characters are all great. :) The gameplay and side quests are wonderful, I actually wanted to do everything and go everywhere. :D Which I did, this is only 1 of 2 games that I've finished with a platinum.

    A wonderful last peak of the great (time-)exclusive games of the PS4.
    While being a PC player first I love the PS4 lineup and this game marks a fulminant end of an era

    I haven't felt this invested into an open world game since witcher 3. This is a refreshing game with many things to do and the detail in the graphics and side stories is amazing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Game hay lắm. Cảnh đẹp, nhạc hay, nhiều khi side quest còn hay hơn main quest. Nhiệm vụ không bị lê thê. Mỗi lần mởi 1 đền cáo, miếu trên núi hay chỗ thơ haiku đều là địa điểm chụp ảnh check in cả. Tha hồ đi khoe ảnh đẹp. Đổi khi chuyển qua chế độ đen trắng lại tạo cảm giác như mấy phim samurai thập niên 60-70. Phải nói tuy còn vài hại sạn nhưng sony làm những cái khác quá tốt.

    What I thought would be just another repetitive open world cut-and-paste slog turned out to be an amazingly rich experience with a solid, robust combat system, a compelling story, and absolutely stunning visuals. The world is massive without being overwhelming, and the game doesn't fall victim to the usual cliche of scouting a viewpoint and then vomiting a bunch of icons onto the map.What I thought would be just another repetitive open world cut-and-paste slog turned out to be an amazingly rich experience with a solid, robust combat system, a compelling story, and absolutely stunning visuals. The world is massive without being overwhelming, and the game doesn't fall victim to the usual cliche of scouting a viewpoint and then vomiting a bunch of icons onto the map. Instead, the map gradually un-fogs only places you've been, which encourages exploration in a more natural manner.

    Unlike many other action RPGs, this one really provides a meaningful choice for how you want to build your character, at least to start with. My first playthrough I'm focusing on the Samurai skill trees, but I'll do a stealth build for the next one. Or maybe not, since the combat is so satisfying. Seriously, the standoffs never get old.

    There are really not enough good things to say about Ghosts. Sony picked a hell of a game to wrap up this console generation.    … Expand

    Ghost of tsushima is the game samurai and ninja game fans have been looking for. The game play is fun the fighting is fantastic. This game captures the heart of Japan with shinto shrines and kami spirits and Samurai poetry. Best game I've played since the witcher 3

    The best open world experience I've ever played. When playing I feel immersed in this environment created by the studio. It feels like I'm in a Samurai / Ninja movie. Combat is the strongest point of the game. Fight with style! What a wonderful thing. Congratulations! I loved this game!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is not a Assassin creed wanna be, it is a masterpiece game

    This is a game that makes you feel connected with the story, with the game world and more understand why japanese people always talk about honor before anything else

    This is a game with a very good soundtrack which makes you feel you are the samurai or we could say “the ghost”

    And what an ending, especially when jin said to his uncle “i will”

    Sucker Punch, you nailed it

    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.
