    Muy buen juego, muy envolvente con su mundo y movimientos. Lo único que debieron hacer mejor fue la interacción con el agua y mejorar la forma en que se ve el agua. Tiene algunos problemas que espero que en un futuro reparen pero en general esta muy bien.

    Best PS4 exclusive since GoW. Combat is amazing, Exploration feels natural. Side quests are very well written. Map is reasonably big.

    Please get this game. Its a breath of fresh air.

Even with the small amount of knowledge I have of Japan and of the time time period, I can see the amount of effort the developers have put into the game to recreate an authentic recreation of feudal Japan. It offers an incredible gaming experience that feels like you're in a Japanese samurai movie and will define this generation of PS4. I wholeheartedly recommend that you try this game out as soon as possible.… Expand

    Ghost of tsushima presents a story that ties you to the game, from the main quests to the side quests, with a vast map of things to do and yes, with rewards worth exploring.

    The fight is the strong point of the game, with a complex and fun combat system, no combat will be the same, you are approaching it in a different way.

    The graphics have certain problems with some textures, but that does not fail to make it one of the most beautiful of the generation, with an incredible art direction!

    The camera sometimes gets in the way, but it gets used to the combat system and camera, it ends up bothering with time.

    The photo mode is incredible, I spent hours on it, complete and with many filters that make the scenery even more beautiful.

    It's a game worth the full price and the best open world on ps4 in 2020.    … Expand

    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

    I have just finished this masterpiece.

    If you play no other game this year, I humbly suggest you play Ghost of Tsushima.

    It is a harrowing tale, but one rooted in both folklore and history. Jin Sakai is perhaps one of the most fleshed out protagonists that has ever been created in this medium.

    Sucker Punch Entertainment hit this one clear out of the park.

    A solid 9/10.

The visuals of this game are breathtaking, I've found myself stopping myself mid-quest to take pictures with the in-game photo-mode. And I NEVER use photo-mode, that's how beautiful this game is! The combat is fluid, swift, and brutal. You are given a variety of sword stances and tools at your disposal suited for any situation; which is further complemented by a skill tree that progresses at the perfect pace, making you feel like you're always improving. The story itself is gripping but can be overly serious at times. I would've liked some more comedic relief but I understand why there isn't, since the game takes place in feudal Japan as Mongolian's take over Tsushima. Lastly, the game handles Japan's culture with respect and sensitivity. I have no clue what some people are complaining about! This isn't "cultural appropriation", it's CULTURAL APPRECIATION! That said, I highly recommend buying this game before this console generation ends!… Expand

Spoiler free for those deciding to buy or not.I signed up for Metacritic as an casual reviewer just to praise this game and get the word out that this will be one of the best gaming experiences many will have, period. This is not an exaggeration. The game will knock your socks off! Be fore warned this is a long review, but def worth the read as it details what this game has done right! Spoiler free for those deciding to buy or not.

    From the get go, the game throws you into a visually breathtaking world that you traverse and explore. Of the many PS4 games I have played, this game has some of the most realistic and incredibly rendered grass and lighting for a PS4 title. Not to mention the incredible views you can captured with the share buttons on the fly. Throughout my PS4 experiences, I've never taken so many screenshots in one single game, and most of the pictures are without editing at all. However, editing the picture is one of the options.

    Visuals aside, Sucker Punch did a phenomenal job creating an interactive and unique open world with tons of different locations to explore. Plenty of times in other games, you feel that you've been to the same place over and over again. In this game, its the opposite feeling. Every new area I explored will use up all the tools and techniques you've acquired and learned during the game. In these areas, the tiniest of details are also something to take note of, especially during and after completing side missions.

    In regards to side missions... In comparison to other games where these missions are repetitive gives an unsatisfying reward for completing them. This game makes each of them feel its own story. The different "tales" in the game, especially, makes player feel connect to the characters in those missions. The main story itself is quite a journey as well. Overall, the storytelling is great!

    In mentioning about combat, the game did a great job of making one feel like a true samurai. There are many tools to get to make the game feel fresh. There are also quite a few enemy variety making different fights very fun and truthfully strategic. Without spoiling anything, the "boss fights" encountered in the game are pretty cool too. The game performs quite well despite the large amount of activity on the screen.

    Speaking of performance, the game runs quite well on the PS4 Pro. Even on the base PS4, which one of my peers owns, he tells me the game runs very smooth. In addition, one of the games' greatest strengths is the fast loading. The team at Sucker Punch completed a very difficult feat, by having super fast load times! Comparing the loading times to another big open world game, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch, Ghost of Tsushima loads even faster than that that game does it feels. The longest loading screen through my time in the game is less than 10 seconds in more densely populated areas. Fastest times are within a second. That is incredible given the fact that the game is graphically stunning in 4K and runs at a smooth frame rate.

    Talking quickly about side content and the Legend rank system. The game did a great job with pacing and making me feel rewarded for completing activities. Participating in the side contents are progressively helping one to rank up, in addition to the helpful rewards for the journey ahead. As a result, I encourage everyone to actively go for any new areas you find in the game and complete them. Your gaming experience on the Island of Tsushima will thank you.

    Overall, Ghost of Tsushima is an extremely strong Game of the Year contender for me. In fact, this game may be one of my favorite Open World games of all time. The fun I've had and the journey I've been on is like nothing I've ever come across before. And I have indeed played many great games before, like Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption, just to name a few big names. This game shows that Sucker Punch cares deeply about creating a game out of love for the environment they are trying to replicate. The attention to detail and character building are strong indicators that the studios made this game right. It proves that in a gaming world with plenty of corporate doing the talking and deciding if a game should be made or not based on profits and revenues, there are still some studios that just want to make high quality titles that fans want.

    I honestly cannot wait to see what Sucker Punch makes next. If its anything like Ghost of Tsushima, I'm already on board.

    Ghost of Tsushima is for sure a 10 out of 10 experience. Must Buy Game. The critic review scores do not give this game the justice it deserves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Slavs rejoice, for now you can chop down Mongols without the risk of going to jail! Hah. Okay, I'm kidding. In fact, the game is 8.5 points, if you evaluate it objectively. But I'll bet 10. From now on, this is my favorite game (after the Witcher). The best visual in the gaming industry (not the graphics themselves, but the beauty of local views). Good graphics. The gameplay is based mainly on killing Mongols, but it doesn't get boring! The combat system is very well made, it is a classic "fast blow, strong blow, block, parry" but in an improved form. The plot is also based on the classics of samurai films, and this is not bad. But why then an objective rating of 8.5? in small things. The game has small nuances that slightly spoil the gameplay. For example, the names of the protagonist, important characters for the plot are forgotten. But this is because of the Japanese theme, they just have similar names. In General, of course I advise you to pass and re-try the game, and 100%, with all the quests and secrets!… Expand

    - Some of the filler cutscenes lack the finesse and detailed voice acting.
    - The Japanese dub is sometimes out of sync with the characters and can feel awkward.    … Expand

    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.
