    I enjoy the gameplay of Ghost of Tsushima, There are some bugs that need to be ironed out, but on a whole the gameplay itself can get a little old but I don't think that detracts from the game as a whole.....at least not yet. Graphics are amazingly beautiful but the progression of the story can be slow at times if you're like me and going for all trophies available.

I've been anticipating this release for some time now and has met most of my initial critiques and I must presume that future updates will adreess the issues that I've previously mentioned. I do recommend at least giving this game a shot if you enjoy 3rd person games.… Expand

    Absolutley brilliant. 15 plus hours in and i am really enjoying the story and gameplay. The lighting in this game resembles a piece of art it really does stand out. Who does not want to ride through scenic fields and picturesque landscapes. Of course it is not a hundred percent but nothing really should be as we with any sense know that that is the mythical score.

    Playstation games often focus a to much on the story and leave gameplay kind of "ok" . This is NOT the case with Ghost of Tsushima. The story is amazing, and the gameplay has lots of player agency and interesting approaches to each challenge. Sucker Punch certainly outdid themselves, and we have a solid GOTY contender.

    Great game, a worthy swan song for the PS4. Not perfect, no target lock can irritate and some some collision issues when jumping in certain places. With that said, the graphics are stunning, the environments diverse and the story is good with the focal point being Jin's duality between his honor and saving his people. Combat is cool, with mastering stances being a prime aspect of combat.

    GoT is easily the best game I have played in a long time. It is a true winner. Sucker Punch has moved up to AAA.

    As usual, the mainstream press doesn’t like it because it doesn’t feature woke life, forget the fact that it takes place in and around the year 1200 in Japan. It’s pathetic, the professional reviewers are so shallow. Any game which has some form of perversion and a female or    GoT is easily the best game I have played in a long time. It is a true winner. Sucker Punch has moved up to AAA.

    It’s pathetic, the professional reviewers are so shallow. Any game which has some form of perversion and a female or trans lead is an instant 10, no matter how horrible the game is to play - see TLOU2 (terribly unfun game).

    The best thing I can say about GoT, it is essentially The Witcher 3 in Japan. I have never liked a samurai game this much, ever. Amazing that an American company did this. I actually prefer GoT over Sekiro, GoT is the better game.

    Between RDR2, Sekrio, GoT - I’d take GoT.
    RDR2 went too heavily on realism and it got boring.
    Sekiro went too hard on the difficulty, fun but ultimately it was a chore.

    GoT nails the perfect balance between exploration, story, combat (easily better than W3 combat), and character.

    Jin Sakai is a great character.
    His backstory makes perfect sense and adds to the immersion of the game. In fact all of the characters in this game are so well done, I don’t think I’ve seen a game do characters this well since maybe RDR (the first one).

    You are going to love this game, I guarantee it.
    Best game this year, until cyberpunk.
    It really scratches that W3 open world exploration itch, and the story is hugely satisfying.

    I don’t even bother to read IGN, Kotaku, Gamespot, etc... they are so biased against normalcy now that they just can’t let themselves review a game honestly. Everything has to pass through their woke filter and if the game narrative doesn’t fit the woke agenda they hit the game with a low score.

    Anyone who gives Ghost of Tsushima a 7 or less, is a moron. This game is EXCELLENT!

    Better than Days Gone, and that game was fun.
    This game is an easy 9 on any day.
    Only thing that would make a 10 is a bit more variety in the exploration, foxes and birds are cool... but a few other types would make this game a 10.

    Still, I enjoy every minute of this game.
    Witcher 3 is a 10, no doubt.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a solid 9.
    Horizon was a solid 8.

    Excellent game.
    Thank you Sucker Punch!

    This game is so beautiful I practically don't ride my horse, I just walk around everywhere to admire its beauty.
    It's minimal UI also contributes to this sense of beauty. Also, combat is very funny.
    Only down to it is the in-combat camera, which sometimes gets "a little lost" around the place.

    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.
