    The story, while a Japanese feudal period archetype, is presented well, and keeps the players' interest. The characters also allows the players to be invested in them.

    Sucker Punch delivers an amazing 13th century Japan, and one can tell they have great respect for Japanese culture and samurai cinema. The dev also respects the player and the player's time. No unnecessary animations for each item pickup. Loading times are ridiculously short (~5 seconds). Guiding wind and other fox/bird companions are done very creatively, and results in an immersive world.

    Highest recommendation for the game! Now, time for me to go write some haiku...    … Expand

    Played this game for 30hrs so far. I have loved every second of it. This game makes you fell like an unstoppable samurai. Killing groups of mongals making them fear the ghosts. The story gives you goose bumps, no too mention how beautiful the game is. I wish I had a PS4 Pro to experience it in 4K.

    Combat is amazing and has complexity and ease of use. Mastering the combat is awesome when you take on whole camps of mongals. Ghost of Tsunami is up there with God of War, Spider-Man, and Last Of Us 1 not 2 though. LOU2 was terrible.

    Take note Naughty Dog your supposed to kill the bad guy not play as him    … Expand

    Not a perfect game, but still a "masterpiece". This easily is my second favourite PS4 exclusive just below God of War. Pure fun, tight fighting gameplay, humble yet epic story and probably the best soundtrack in recent game history. There's room for a lot of improvement such as facial animation, cutscenes, stealth AI, etc. Can't wait for a sequel.

    Sucker Punch has absolutely out done themselves. It's not unfair to call Ghost of Tsushima one of the best looking games of the generation, or one of the best looking games Sony's ever put out. It's beautiful in ways that are a bit more subtle than the slightly over done anime style of something like FF7R while still being fantastic.

It's beautiful in ways that are a bit more subtle than the slightly over done anime style of something like FF7R while still being fantastic. I really can't say enough nice things about Ghost of Tsushima. It's a lovingly authentic tribute to chanbara cinema in general, and the works of Akira Kurosawa in particular.

    With a very enjoyable combat system backing an excellent series of stories there's a lot of narrative depth in the game that it feels like gaming hasn't approached in awhile. There's a lack of comic relief in the game compared to other games in it's genre and weight class, but it's absence isn't felt thanks to the down time provided by the many other activities in the game. Going from furious and tense battles against the invading Mongol army or against bandits or wandering ronin, to doing something a bit more peaceful such as composing a haiku, following a fox to a hidden shrine, or just traversing the lovingly crafted world that Sucker Punch has provided is relaxing in a way that I haven't felt since Breath of the Wild, which also very effectively used down time to relax the player.

    With emotional, deeply personal writing, intelligent, insightful characters and some rather solid moral questions to ask both it's protagonist and you the player, it's no surprise that the game was an actual tear jerker at times. That's quality emotional impact right there.

    I don't think it's unfair to say there's something for everyone in Ghost and I have any complaints it's that it doesn't stick around long enough. Here's hoping there's some Witcher 3 style expansion packs. With this game as a crowning gem on the twilight of this generation, I'm very interested to see what the dawn brings (beyond Cyberpunk 2077).

The game play is awesome, too, as there are so many ways to play this game, from stealth to straight up duel for honor.

Do yourself a favor and buy this game and see it through. Ive been playing it for a week and just finished it with at least 100 hours. The ending wasn't disappointing at all either which is a plus nowadays.… Expand

    I think ghost of Tsushima definitely has potential for GOTY it’s so amazing I love the story and the combat also the world is just stunning and you will spend a lot of time in photo mode just enjoying the view. One of my favorite things were the mythical tales it just gets you so lost in an amazing story that’s completely different for each one. This game is a must play highly recommend.

    I don't normally feel the need to write reviews but this is one of the single most enjoyable games I've ever played. The perfect balance of challenge and fun. Combat is satisfying but can still punish. Definitely a must have game, and a perfect way to wrap up the generation.

    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.
