    Perhaps the best game of the PS4 generation. Certainly inside the top 5. Belongs up there with God of War, Bloodborne, Spider-Man, Uncharted, TLOU, Horizon Zero Dawn.

    A beautiful open world in the style of ancient japan. Simple but very interesting combat system and skill leveling system. Many interesting side quests. Strong plot.
    P.S. русская озвучка и перевод шикарны !

    For years, audiences have been asking Ubisoft to bring Assassin’s Creed back to feudal Japan, but the French publisher has ignored the appeal. Well, the Sucker Punch team has taken the initiative - here's a samurai open-world game inspired by Kurosawa's films. And this game turned out to be very good

    Bellissimo, artisticamente sublime, il Giappone feudale è riprodotto in maniera assolutamente certosina. Consigliato a tutti, soprattutto a coloro amanti della cultura giapponese.

    Despite some flaws later on with the some story narrative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the recommend exclusives that deserve to get praise not only because of the Japan concept, but also for the well made exploration mix with amazing combat and not mention how good the progression through out from beginning to the end. Story wise it is nothing new. But instead of story-telling    Despite some flaws later on with the some story narrative.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the recommend exclusives that deserve to get praise not only because of the Japan concept, but also for the well made exploration mix with amazing combat and not mention how good the progression through out from beginning to the end.

    Story wise it is nothing new. But instead of story-telling narrative, GOT choose to focus on character story driven. Giving the simple revenge story with a complex and enjoyable character thoughout the journey of Jin. They have weakness as well Help him, and teach him in so many way to become a Ghost and still, live true to his own life.

    Gameplay wise, despite on "nothing new" on openworld structure, GOT still deliver one of the best openworld til today with many small add-on feature inside some similar features we have seen from other openworld title. From point of interest, enemies camp, hidden location, etc.

    GOT put their love inside those activities. I could give some example like "POI", in other games you can just go to that place and listen to some audio or read a letter to describe some informations. But in GOT, you can make Haku poem, one of the best way for you to take a break and enjoy the beauty as well as your mind can be at ease by music score in those locations. And you can find much more of those "take a break" moments not just only by those point of interest location.

    And the thing to make it more distinct, yes (Again), by those beautiful graphic with very careful well crafted locations and strong art-direction. Although, some may not point this one can be a game-changing, but to me, the graphic of GOT for not just only for beauty-eye-candy but also help a lot in game level design to hide some special locations and gameplay. It keeps your interesting mind enough to not let go the controller.

    I'm glad they learnt and took the inspiration from RDR, Shadow of the Colossus and Zelda BOTW for exploration gameplay. Also instead of climbing tower to unlock maps, this time, defeat enemies on their camp can automatically unlock maps in limit zone.

    The special about combat mechanic of GOT, is not about stealth, it is about Stand off mechanic moments. It can be repeated many times but it is addictive for sure. There are very few games that has those mini feature but shape a unique feeling like GOT. The dual battle may sound nothing new, but when you into it and experience. It feel totally different than anything you see out there.

    Many people said GOT feel like Assassin's Creed. But nope, after over 50 hours of playing it, I see it nothing like that. Yep, I am no place to deny it borrow some feature from other openworld. But when combining, with some genious tweak and add-on inside those "similar", surprisingly, it brought to you a whole new experience that so refresh, so well-done and not overwhelming things that will bug you along the way.

    And one more personal feeling of mine when experience this, just like I felt for HZD. Despite some flaws, HZD and GOT absolutely positive feeling in their openworld. Full of hope in humanity.    … Expand

    One of the most incredible games I have ever played, also one of the most beautiful. I finished the whole story, it was amazing. The only things I found bad about this game (did not make the game any worse) was the camera in combat, and the parkour. Otherwise this is a phenomenal game that I recommend everyone play.

    I truly felt attached to the character.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the game I've dreamed of. Wandering as a Samurai in Feudal Japan with my horse, helping people and getting stronger. Some people say it doesn't do anything new in the genre, but they couldn't be more wrong.

    GoT doesn't treat you like an idiot, it expects you to learn how to read to world, where you need to go, how to do something, it's there, in the world. No    Ghost of Tsushima is the game I've dreamed of. Wandering as a Samurai in Feudal Japan with my horse, helping people and getting stronger. Some people say it doesn't do anything new in the genre, but they couldn't be more wrong.

    GoT doesn't treat you like an idiot, it expects you to learn how to read to world, where you need to go, how to do something, it's there, in the world. No waypoint or markers, you find your way using the sound and the environment, that alone for me is a game changer.

    On top of that the game is very non-linear. You can make many many quests in the order you want, that includes main and side quests with a defined storyline. You earn different things for doing different missions. At one time I was struggling with a side quest, so I went to the story and did some missions to earn Stealth and the Bow, when I got back to the side quest I could finish it because I had more tools at my disposal, but it was totally possible to do that in a harder way. The game let's you play it anyway you want it and the best thing of it? It shows you the rewards of every mission before you decide to play it.

    The world is huge in scale and content, and every side activity has a reward. For clearing mongol camps you earn points to get a new stance (and a new fast travel location), for doing bamboo challenge's you earn more Determination, Fox Shrines a new amulet. EVERYTHING makes you progress, that makes the game so worth to complete.

    The locations are beautiful and sometimes you need to think of how are you going to enter one location, because it's not like everything is on the same level. You have distant islands, mountains, caves, temples. At the same time you can do many different things to transverse those envrionments. Remember when I said the game doesn't treat you like an idiot? This is one of the things that make a difference. All of the time I remebered Shadow of the Colossus, where getting to a place is part of the challenge.

    The game also makes the fighting very satisfying. It's not easy, sometimes I struggled to get past some enemies. It's challeging and it's rewarding. Also it has SO MANY upgrades and different paths you can make that everyone Jin will play different. Some will prefere to do an stealth route, others an Archer and another one can make a Tanker Samurai. Everything is possible, there is no right way to do it. The game also has duels in which the player has to use every samurai skill to win. It's really awesome.

    The Story and Sountrack are great, I could spend more time talking about how polished and good the game is, but I don't think that is necessary. The game just is awesome, a game changer. Everyone who said the game doesn't do anything new can't use their brains (huuur open world with collectibles = something we have). GoT does everything different with a huge amount of content, a beautiful world, a great story and not treating you like an idiot. That's all we needed from a Samurai Open World Game.    … 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.
