The open world genre is nothing new but Ghost of Tsushima brings new elements and experiences that will hopefully change and set the bar for new games.… Expand

    Alright, first of all, let me start off by saying that the game is a Playstation exclusive so it automatically removes the option to give the game a score under 9 since that would make you either a hater or an Xbox fanboy. Now since we got that outta the way let's start the review.

    You play as this guy named Jin, you can see that the game is awesome when your character is named Jin. Your main weapon is a sword and you can ride horses, I mean which game ever did that huh? For the first few hours of the game, it really feels like that game was made by the creators of "Bubsy 3D" but as you progress through the story you can clearly see that the game holds a spot right next to games like "Knack" and "Super Mario Bros 2". The AI System is God tier in this game, with this new technology the enemies can even smell you. So if you're a weeb and you haven't take a shower in 3 weeks the game punishes you by saying " No, the Japanese can smell too you dumba**". So anyway, Behnam told me to give the game a 10/10 and that's what I'm gonna do. Masterpiece.    … Expand

    -The world is beautiful and engaging, with different and varied biomes and lots of interesting places to discover. Everything you do is rewarding, as you progress through the large skill trees or unlock cool customizing items.
    -The combat starts basic but quickly progresses and adds many new things, never becoming boring. There are plenty of skills, abilities and stances. However, the stealth too easy due to IA being a bit dumb.
    -There's great variety of missions, and even though most of them have the same structure (go to a place > follow trail or npc > kill enemies), the story that's behind them is well written and makes the time spent worthwhile. Both the main and the side characters are great and charismatic.
    -The soundtrack is GOD.
    Overall, extremely beautiful game with a perfect balance of all of its elements. It only suffers a bit from the market sturation of open worlds (same elements seen in those are present here), but the execution here is flawless and it's only beaten by RDR2 in this field. A must have for PS4 owners.    … Expand

    So this was the best open world game I have played in long time. The story was fantastic, Kohtan Kahn was a very well written enemy leader. I could see why he was the way he was, and I hated him.

I could see why he was the way he was, and I hated him. That is good writing. I didn't bother with the Black and White mode because the game is just to good looking to do that The end really hit home for me. I was genuinely sad after the final battle. It hit an emotional chord. I also personally really liked the no lock on system. I didn't think the game was clunky at all. There were some bugs like random npcs falling from the skies but it didn't hurt the experience.

    I am giving this a 9 on here only because I can't do fraction ratings. Personally I would give this an 8.5. It's not the greatest game of all time, but it's very good. That said it is much closer to a 9 for me than an 8 so by default it gets a 9,    … Expand

Skills, Armour and weapon upgrade are good and worth it. Its not like your usual RPG where they show how much xp you need to level up, very intelligently done.

    Everything from the voice acting to the graphics make this a pure classic. I quit playing Last of Us 2 to play this. This is how you make a game and story. I will keep this spoiler free, but I knew nothing about this game going in and was extremely surprised at how open world it is. Think Assassins Creed meets Dark Souls.

    Story is Great.
    - Strong Preformance from the voice actors (played in english cause no lip sync in japanese).
    - Interesting Characters.
    - Side missions are good and dont feel like filler.
    - Graphics and Art Work/Degisn is GOD TIER. seriously this is even a small level above RED DEAD 2.
    - the Leveling System is fairly deep and does its job nicely.

    mixed
    - Technically (ps4 slim) its a hit and miss. but mostly hit, PS4Pro is flawless from what i read.

    closing thoughts

    these "professional" reviewers once again prove how irrelevant they are. games losing points for not reinventing the wheel, while others dont. this is one of the best games of the Generation but you wouldnt know that by looking at the "professional" scores ( which are solid but are doing a great disservice to the game ), now i thought Second Son was mediocre to pretty good at best but Sucker Punch really stepped up BIG TIME, they are on the level of Santa Monica to me now. looking forward to your next game, ill be there day 1.    … Expand

    All of this, being told by either Jin's perspective or as his allies perspectives, or even enemies, which in the end sometimes make you understand and comprehend the caracthers and their actions.
    Needless to say, it is a game in which you discover a lot about a different culture and gets an insight over human beings and their feelings.    … Expand

Not to mention that this game has near zero loading times - on PS4. Feels like a PS5 game almost.

    Very beautiful, lots of fun, but repetative. Every mission basically boils down to "go here, kill everyone". And the random fights you get into are like random battles in an RPG.

    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.
