    This game is phenomenal. Sucker Punch has made a world that’s so alive unlike a lot of open world games. There’s not one thing I don’t love doing whether it be climbing shrines, following foxes and birds, doing bamboo strikes, and every single side quest I come across. I couldn’t put this game down.

The writing for this game is surprisingly good as well. Thsnk you sucker punch. I love this game!!!… Expand

    Exceeded expectations. Hopefully SP decides to do more open world RPGS after this because this game was amazing. Definitely my Goty, depending on how well Cyberpunk does.

    Look here, this is the best samurai game I have ever played. The story keeps you on your feet. The gameplay is far from boring. It is challenging. The characters feel authentic. The atmosphere of the game is incredibly detailed and all around beautiful. It is a challenging yet relaxing game.

    Just when I'm beginning to think an open world game can't add anything new to the genre, Ghost of Tsushima proves me wrong.

Sucker Punch in my opinion has truly enhanced open world exploration with the much welcomed addition of the guiding wind which allows for total immersion and appreciation of scenery. Since the Witcher 3 I have not been this pleased by an open world game. Which brings me to my next point: side quests. Just like W3 these events feel like they matter, and the rewards are worth my time. One aspect I really enjoyed was the incorporation of haiku composition as a means to earn a piece of equipment, these events feel wholesome and deeply satisfying. Lastly I would say that although the stealth element is more of the same as you would see in AC or MGS, this does not detract from the game but adds it to the realm of greats, in my opinion it never gets old. Combat is fluid and thrilling. The stance mechanic is a fun game of rock paper scissors that kept me on my toes and made character progression interesting. Excellent game and definitely worth my money.… Expand

    I give Ghost of Tsushima a 10 because of how well the development team handled the game design, Audio, Music Score, And Combat! Starting off with the design!

Graphically, Ghost of Tsushima looks AMAZING! The wonderfully rendered textures and Animations give the game its unique charm that captivates the audience to show the true beauty of Tsushima Island... On my journey across the Tsutsu and Hiyoshi areas of the Izuhara region, I spent HOURS in the games photo mode, Whilst completing main quests and side missions! The audio is very well done, Played best with headphones of course! The music fits well with the action and the exploration, As well as cutscenes too! Dramatic when in combat, And soothing when exploring! And the NPC diolog is at it's highest quality! To save the best for last, Combat! The combat in Ghost of Tsushima is amazing... The free-flowing swordplay displayed is exceptional! I was able to use Bows, Kunai, and even sticky bombs too! While mixing in some stealth.

    A few cons..The unlimited arrows the enemy archers have at thier disposal are just appalling! It would be cool to see them run out of arrows to pick out some more, to add realism! And there are a few small texture issues as well.. But that's because I'm not using a PS4 PRO. in conclusion, Ghost of Tsushima is worth EVERY PENNY as the game delivers exceptional quality, Combat and Immersion! The character progression and customization is the cherry on top in this action packed open world game!    … Expand

    I'm about 10 hours in and I'm loving this game. In the early game (on Hard), the combat is manageable when fighting 1-2 enemies but when against a patrol (of 5 or more enemies) I get overwhelmed and have to resort to ghost tactics.

    Very fun combat. Exploring the open world by relying on the guiding wind is also a breeze and immersive.    … Expand

    Awesome game. The open world has it's share of collection activities, you may like or hate them. But the story is a very emotional tale with awesome characters and setting. The combat flows like water and makes you feel like a badass.

    This is my first review in metacritic and I decided to voice out my opinion because I want more games like Ghost of Tsushima, and I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach by SP. I finished the main story, and already GoT is right there on top of my list of best games, with God of War, Spiderman and Horizon Zero dawn.

I finished the main story, and already GoT is right there on top of my list of best games, with God of War, Spiderman and Horizon Zero dawn.

    My score is based on following:

    1. Artistic direction and fantastic visuals, which really bring the feeling of the history. I think in general, artists are given far less credit than they deserve, and here I commend SP for forstering their talent in arts.
    2. Excellent gameplay and combat mechanics, which are brought in at suitable pace.
    3. A believable story, and solid structure. The game manages to capture the player at the very benginning so well, so you feel that you are proceeding with a good pace. Compared to say Death stranding, GoT is reallly good at the beginning. I have just gotten frustrated with the DS mechanics which are overly complicated.

    So there it is, a solid 10 for the game that tops my list of games in this console generation.    … 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.
