    Amazing game. 10/10 for its story, graphics, combat, game design, music, everything. This is my GOTY (if excluding P5R...).

    What a video game should be....fun. The story is wonderful and the side quests are engaging. The island is alive and the combat is a blast. One of the most beautiful games I have ever played...and I mainly play games on PC. This game absorbs the player into the world of the samurai. Professional critics will fault it for being "another open world game" but this is my game of the year soWhat a video game should be....fun. The story is wonderful and the side quests are engaging.

    Лучшая игра на данный момент, сочетающая в себе механики таких хитов как Секиро, Ведьмак 3 и Horizon zero dawn и с превосходной визуализацией и графикой и это всё в открытом мире. P.S. The Last of Us 2 отдыхает.

    First of all, from a person who actually play this game till I plat it, this is by far my best experience from a Sony exclusive since Bloodborne and God of War. Every aspect in GoT is shouting polish. This is the game that will set the standards for all open world games right now.

Every aspect in GoT is shouting polish. This is the game that will set the standards for all open world games right now. It's like Sucker Punch just knows what annoys the heck out of people in other open world games and just streamline them. One-button jump into photo mode, controlling weather, time of day, even particles in photo mode( believe me you will be spending a lot of time in photo mode), one of the best intro from a video game ever, each part of the island lets you experience different seasons and scenery so you will not get bored of the scenery. Combat!!!! At first you will think the combat is simple, but when they throw in the stances and you realize how many ways you could kill your enemies and be creative. The combat design is to enable the players to feel powerful and to be creative. Sucker Punch, you bunch of genius!!!! I strongly recommend everyone who loves this game to go replay infamous series if you have the chance. I replayed all the infamous just to prepare for this game and this game just blew my mind how much Sucker Punch improved since second son. Also, CHOICES are important. Let the player make their own damn choice in the story is very crucial (unlike some other title). It's like Sucker Punch knows exactly what other players suffered one month ago with another title and let people enjoy a way better game in every aspect (writing, character development, combat, graphics, etc). And now to top it off, Sucker Punch announced a FREE MULTIPLAYER UPDATE. Free DLC add on has never been seen since Valve games. And yet all the xbox fanboys try to paint an "Anti-consumer" picture for Sony? Nice try! Also Naughty Dog cuts out multiplayer from the base game for TLOU2 to be a standalone. If you ask me, $60 is more justified for a full enjoyable single player experience for Ghost of Tsushima with icing on the cake when they add the multiplayer free content. Sucker Punch is just reading the minds of their players so well. YES, they actually listened to feedback, that's why the multiplayer is based on the mythology. Please Naughty Dog, we miss the old you, the one that does not push agenda and actually make a damn good complete single player+multiplayer experience. Even Sony knows how much of a better game is Ghost and release it as the finale of this generation.… Expand

    Amazing climate of samurai-era japan. Not a single mission feels like a side quest. All of them have a clever(often dark or tragic) twist, that makes them more interesting than some main quests in other games. Innovation that came with the “gps” system makes it much more fun and immersive. Combat just as satisfying as sekiros’ but much more accessible and arguably more fluid and fun.Amazing climate of samurai-era japan. Not a single mission feels like a side quest.

    Felicitaciones a Sucker Punch por esta obra maestra.

    The gaming world was not prepared for Ghost of Tsushima from Sucker Punch. They wanted it, they dreamt of it, but they did not know what it was, or what form it would come in the shape of. It would arrive on the 17th July, 2020 and it was in the shape of Jin Sakai. For me, an eternity of let downs and disappointments now over. Furthermore, the search is over! my gaming journey is done. You could say i'm retired from searching.

    I will always be the first to admit, i am not the best gamer in the world. I am a dreamer. i take on a game and i make it my own and let it work for me. Many a time i have given up on a game, because the faults were too much to turn a blind eye to. Yet, at the age of 41, married with my first born child merely a few weeks old and a myriad of life issues, bills and problems facing me...i find myself waking in the early hours to get back to the island of Tsushima.

    Sure, there's faults. But, i have a big imagination. Let's take a discussion i read about no hit-detection on bamboo trees. It doesn't matter, because if i didn't read that, i wouldn't know. i was already walking around them. i was already making my own movie heaven. I'm Jubai Kipigami fighting the blind swordsman in the bamboo forest, i'm Kôji Yakusho preparing to take on an entire village of enemies, i'm Tatsuya Nakadai walking through the cemetery for a momentous duel.

    For that matter, the tension in the air at a duel is something else. My straw hat, jossling in the wind. My longbow sways and flutters as gusts of wind pass by. The pampas grass rasps across the hills beyond me. The world constantly moves as Samurai and Mongol remain still, waiting for the first move. Blink and you would miss it, amongst the cacophony of vision and sound. The moment is here, you are in that Kurusawa movie, take it all in as a torrent of blood swathes across the screen and spatters the ground at my feet. Would you believe i have only been playing for 2 days?

    This game is the ultimate Samurai open-world game and it has blown other open-worlds out of the water. Not only have Sucker Punch written a love letter to Japan, they have written a love letter to Playstation and it's gamers.

    It is a 10. The story is slow but the characters little by little they start to show their colors, there is a good narrative, some side quests are sad and other even funny, but maintain you interested and give more background to the island. The graphics are the limit of the generation, pushing all limits of the PS4 pro. And the gameplay could be better but it is fun to play and easy to conquer.

    The best in the genre. Size of the world is just about right, not too bloated and copypaste-ish like last assassins' ones. Variety of biomes, aesthetic, combat. Everything is almost perfect. Except stealth, stealth is meh.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No spoilers here... This game is amazing so far! I'm not a huge fan of cutscenes and PlayStation storytelling(waste of money IMO). The focus is always the gameplay for me. Once you get past the boring intro movie (over an hour) the game actually starts. And man, the exploration is amazing. It actually makes you want to explore(a lot like botw). I'm a big dark souls, bloodborne, and Sekiro fan. Have beaten them all on new game plus. But this game on normal is harder to me for some reason. I kept dying to normal enemies. Had to dial it down to easy. Plobably because dodging mechanic is weird and somewhat broken in this game. I love the atmosphere, the quests, and sense of wonder. This game is way better than red dead redemption 2, that is for sure. That game just put me to sleep.… Expand

    The game absolutely engulfed me. At times, I felt like a real samurai. Absolutely excellent sound and music. The environment is beautiful. The graphic side of the game disappointed me a bit, but I still have to give the game the full number of points. Maybe an update will be released soon, which fixes minor bugs ..

    I love the combat, style, music, atmosphere, side activities, tales, duels, characters etc.
    I have fun doing stealth, samurai combat and duels. There is problem with camera (sometimes I lose combat because of it) but it doesn’t ruin the fun. Most of the times it works.
    All the small details in this game are well crafted. I care mostly about the small details. It’s great fun!

    The action, graphics, and scenarios were great. It would have been better if AI was smarter and could add to the tension.

    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.
