    Played for about 10 hours and so far it is a fun, solid game. Worth a rating of 9 out of 10

    I would've given this game a 10 if the camera weren't panned in too closely with no ability to adjust it. The only reason that's a problem is that this world is so beautiful, it would be nice to actually see it when exploring on low ground. Other than that, great story, great character building, love the fight mechanics, and I just love playing this character.

    The game feels very raw. The fighting is good and the nature is beautiful, however all the rest aspects seem very cheap and unfinished. Especially it feels so after playing the Last of Us 2 and RDR 2. The mystery about this game is why it took 6 years to make it.
    However I very appreciate the fact the game doesn't contain any SJW ideas.

    Akira Kurosawa would be proud. Amazing story and Game play slathered in some of the nicest graphics and combat to date. Films to watch before you buy this game, Yojimbo, Rashomon, Throne of Blood and 13 Assassins.

    Есть недочеты по некоторым диалогам, немного по боевой системе - но в целом отлично. Даже бовая система после DS вообще топ.

    Ghost of Tsushima -> для меня AC на максималки, с полной историей и без миктротранзаций. Интересная подача сюжета, красивая графика, красивое сражение на мечах.
    Есть мелкие недочеты, но как убили систему оценок, игра 10-ка. Отмечу что, на YouTube графику вы не почувствуете.    Мне в целом нравится AC но (DLC в истории и миктротранзации в механики игры убили игру)

    Wow, what a masterpiece! This game is like a dream come true. Ghost of Tsushima is a wet dream for me as an samurai/Japan-aholic. The beautiful environment, awesome characters, great story line, huge open world, smooth and satisfying combat, armors... this game is just soooo good in everything it offers. I love you SuckerPunch many thanks for this masterpiece

Ещё там можно смахнуть кровь с катаны и убрать в ножны. У неё есть свои минусы. Но я их не замечаю. Спасибо за игру!Наиграл только 4 часа. Но уже рад тому, что сделал предзаказ.

    Pure perfection! Not many games have given me the amount of goose bumps while playing it. GoT is amazing. It is not a typical open world either, it is a game that feels like the environment is alive. Good job Sucker Punch

    I don't know who designed the landscapes, but whoever it is, Suckerpunch needs to give them a raise. I went in expecting next to nothing and have been absolutely floored by the graphics and brutal sword play. Could use more dismemberment, but I digress.

Todo jogo de mundo aberto tem sua repetitividade, seria injusto tirar pontos por conta disso, já que é o padrão esperado em jogos assim, além disso, as missões nesse jogo são feitas com muita qualidade, com objetivos bem ambientados na proposta e com boas recompensas. Ponto negativo apenas para a câmera que atrapalha um pouco nos combates, mas já consegui me acostumar.

    Game of the year so far.

    edit: After passing through most of the story, I've decided to raise my score. It's not a perfect 10. It has flaws. But it's far closer to 10 than 9, and it deserves that higher score. Story: Probably the weakest part of Ghost is its story. That's not to say the story is bad, it's just very generic. You're a samurai. Your lord is captured. It's revenge time.

    edit: After passing through most of the story, I've decided to raise my score. It's not a perfect 10. It has flaws. But it's far closer to 10 than 9, and it deserves that higher score.

    Story:
    Probably the weakest part of Ghost is its story. That's not to say the story is bad, it's just very generic. You're a samurai. Your lord is captured. It's revenge time. That's mostly it. That's not to say there's nothing else in the world. In-fact, the secondary stories are quite good, and I find myself more eager to play the side-quests than the main-quest, because those secondary stories really come alive. But the main story is very standard. There's also a ton of collectibles and nice discoverables if that's your thing.

    Combat:

    Combat is interesting. I'm a Soulsborne lover, so coming into Ghost I was wondering how they would approach combat and whether I would enjoy it. I'm pleased to say that the combat is great. It's not perfect. It's not 'challenging'. It's never going to give you that earned satisfaction of a Sekiro. But, it is great at what it wants to be. Combat is essentially Batman: Arkham, but with a little more involvement on the player side. Swordplay is nothing new or groundbreaking, but it feels authentic and competent, and always feels rewarding when you make a perfect parry, or slice through an opponent with Heavenly Strike. You 'feel' like a Samurai when you approach the enemy. Your movements, your parries, your dodges: they all feel like the actions of someone who is, at the end of the day, just a well-trained human. You're not a god. If you screw up, you'll die. If you try to rush headlong into twenty foes, you'll die. If you ignore the archers in the back, you'll die. You're not Batman, teleporting from foe to foe; you're just a man, and you have act like. That means things like stealth and gadgets (think kunais and bombs) are more than just secondary items to rack up cool points, they're life-saving weapons that can even the odds when faced with powerful enemies. I always felt like I was 'doing it right' when I threw a kunai into a couple foes to lower my immediate threats to a single opponent, or sniped a lonely guard from afar with my bow so that I had less to deal with when it came time to assault the horde. The game rewards you for using your arsenal and skillset, instead of giving you three moves that are your 'good' moves, and then a dozen secondary moves where you could take them or leave them.

    Speaking of stealth: it's good. It's not great, but it's good. It has quirks. It's no Splinter Cell. But, at the end of the day, it never made me feel like it was holding back my enjoyment of a section. Plus, the sections where you are forced to stealth were well-crafted and had clear paths where it simply came down to execution. It was a welcome addition that worked properly 95% of the time, and the few times it didn't were easy to overlook, as the combat is so enjoyable.

    Graphics:

    Here's where Ghost wins the game. You hear it often: 'this game looks so real', 'the best looking game ever', 'a true next-gen experience', etc... attached to other games. More often than not, it's just noise. Yeah, games have looked better and better over the years, but at a certain point it just becomes background information. Who cares how real that tree look anymore? All the trees look great. It's just another tree. So when I say this next sentence, understand I do not say it lightly: Ghost of Tushima is the most beautiful game ever made. Yes, I said it, and it's not hyperbole.

    Understand, I'm not saying Ghost is the most graphically advanced game ever made. It's not. There are sub-par elements, textures that aren't quite as sharp as they could be, draw-distances that are a bit exposed in places, and facial animations that are good, but not top-tier. And none of it matters. There has never been a more beautifully realized world in the history of video games. There are, quite literally, not enough words I could use to describe how amazing the world looks. From fields of purple flowers flowing in the wind, to thick, full grass that you can get lost in, I have more than once simply had to stop and watch the world 'live'. I have never felt like a world was more real than the world of Tsushima. Birds fly about, deer get lost in the trees, and the wind carries fallen leaves along the trail, unconcerned for you, the protagonist. It simply 'is' and it is amazing.

    But it's also more than just the beauty of the world; it's the grit of the bloodstained battlefield, the wreckage of Mongol-destroyed villages, the flowing tassels of your samurai armor: it all comes together to make the best looking game I've ever played. You'll know what I mean when you rise up a hill and see the moon cast white through the smoke of a burning city.

    Go buy Ghost of Tsushima. Even if Cyberpunk supplants it, you will still have one of the best games of the PS4 era. 9.5/10    … 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.
