    Absolutely worth playing. I m playing on hard and it gives me similar challenge like Fromsoftware games. Not walk in a park if you play in hard mode. Stunning visuals and amazing gameplay. I would want to play as 4k 60 fps on ps5

    Increíble! Llevo 8 horas de juego y puedo decir que el juego es fantastico, sinceramente no entiendo a las reseñas de algunos "expertos"; pero bueno, juegazo para cerrar con broche de oro la generación.

    I have played this game for over 90 hours almost completing everything there is to do and it never become dull and was exciting up until the very end. The scores I gave this game are indicative of how much I liked it. If you are looking for a game that is challenging and great to play, I would highly recommend this one. Definitely the top game of 2020 and yes, it is better than the Last of Us Part II (which I finished).    … Expand

    I love this game. It is a love letter to old samurai movies and takes the cultural depiction from a respectful place. Not a huge fan of the combat system but I get what they were trying to do.

    It may have some minor problems but that can be overlooked by how beautiful this game is.

    I didn't have very high expectations for this game, I wasn't very excited for it but omg im so surprised by how good this game is, the story though lacking in some areas was overall great and I finished it being very satisfied. The combat is very good and engaging and can be really challenging sometimes. I am a big sucker for costumisation and the game did not disappoint on that front.I didn't have very high expectations for this game, I wasn't very excited for it but omg im so surprised by how good this game is, the story though lacking in some areas was overall great and I finished it being very satisfied.

    THIS GAME IS AMAZING! The only reason it didn't get a 10/10 is because of the camera getting me killed, and it being a little too similar to red dead redemption in its quest structure.
    But man the combat is so rewarding, and the stealth mechanics are better than most other games with stealth as a feature.

Storia carina anche se manca l'elemento di suspence che ti spinge ad andare avanti in modo spasmodico per vedere come va a finire, diciamo che dopo 5 ore di gioco avevo già capito chi sarebbe stato il boss finale; gameplay facile facile e ripetitivo, quattro nemici in croce che si ripetono per tutta la storia e boss che una volta che ne hai fatto uno è come se li hai fatti tutti; bella la trovata del "vento guida". Intelligenza artificiale ridicola, i nemici anche se in mischia molte volte si confondono correndo indietro a destra e sinistra senza un motivo anzichè attaccarti; anche in modalità difficile è fin troppo facile, individui un forte, vai dentro, sali su una torre dopo aver fatto fuori gli arcieri e ammazzi tutti dall'alto con le frecce, anche con lo scontro aperto la difficoltà è sempre sbilanciatissima in favore del giocatore; interni delle case TUTTI ESATTAMENTE UGUALI, nemici TUTTI ESATTAMENTE UGUALI dall'inizio alla fine del gioco: arciere, lanciere, nemico con scudo faccia, bruto. Pare di combattere con un folto gruppo di gemelli... Quindi ripeto, carino eh, ma non vi azzardate a paragonarlo a The Last of Us part 2... non bestemmiate… Expand

    One of the most breathtaking games for the PS4 this year. The combat feels fluid and amazing, the open world is beautiful. The story is great, the soundtracks are awesome. And they are dropping a free dlc with NG+ and 2, 3 and 4 player co-op, as if I needed any more reason to play this game again.

    You did it Sucker Punch. 10/10, my GOTY!

For my review, I am going to discuss the gameplay, music, graphics, and story. First of all, the gameplay is probably some of Sucker Punch’s greatest work. The four stance mechanics of the Samurai combined with the Ghost stealth mechanics creates a game with a combat system that has depth to it without being too complex. The game is also fairly challenging due to this, as you have to use the right stances along with timing your moves carefully to defeat different types of enemies. The music is also amazing, from songs that convey sad moments, to intense combat situations the music of Ghost of Tsushima has a theme for every mood that sets the stage for some of the games most powerful moments. This music, along with some of the most beautiful graphics I have ever seen get produced from my PS4 creates a wonder narrative about the Mongol invasion of Japan. The story I can also attest is good, as it follows the story of Jin Sakai, who with his allies, fight to liberate the Mongol Army form Japan. The stories greatest strength comes from all these characters, as you learn there stories as you help them, see how they grow, and how this all affects Jin by the end of the story.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a 10/10 Masterpiece. A must buy for PS4 and a must play for all Gamers.    … Expand

    The game is great. The story is ok but it can be pretty forgettable at times. The side quests and world exploration are what will keep you coming back, and the fact that there is no UI is probably on of my favorite things about the game. The combat is fun, the stealth is fun, and it's just fun to explore.

    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.
