It takes the best elements of many different genres and executes on them perfectly. I didn't anticipate how much I'd enjoy the wind objective markers and other various ways the game points you in the right direction without ugly HUD until I experienced it. The overall absence of a HUD while riding around lets you really experience this visually stunning game as if you're riding through a samurai movie. The story is emotionally compelling as well. Each side quest is its own mini story, and although they're just side quests, none of them feel like time wasters. There's some really gut wrenching stuff int he main story as well, and the voice acting (I played in English) is superb. I have no notes. This is a mic drop of a game for the PS4 era.

    Full disclosure: I've completely finished the game and got every achievement except the collect-a-thon ones.    … Expand

    This game is one of the amazing games that Sucker Punch Productions made for gamers. It's a very long time that I can enjoy a game like this since Assassin's Creed III.

    A beautiful experience, proving that a game doesn't have to be linear to give the best possible experience.

    It's just one of those games that gives you so many different ways to play, and has plenty of fast travel. I typically hate open world games since they feel so big and empty. Whether a yellow bird pops out of no where to let you know where something good is or rescuing peasants it felt like the game always had something for me to do without feeling like it's impossible to do it all.

This game is just gorgeous and everything feels so interactive. Of courses there's some clipping, stuttering occasionally, and other crap but I expect that in every game I play. I mean how the hell do the developers expect someone to make Jin jumping off some stairs while mashing the guard button and make an animation for that? I had no major problems playing this game and I'm still enjoying myself right now.… Expand

    Very nice game, i like Jin! The swordfighting is entertaining and addictive.The somewhat bland story and the repetitive game play are whats keeping this game from being perfect.

    The game has bad dialogues written by Americans, so the Japanese speak like Americans. I didn't like all the quests, they all boil down to the murder of Mongols, the quests of comrades are just as boring and there are the same idiotic dialogues.

    There is definitely something wrong with SONY as they put tons of money in advertisement average quality projects with pretty much no proper story line and keep silence about the PS EXCLUSIVE that has it all! And when I'm saying that the game has it all, there is no any exaggeration or something.
    I'm hundred percent sure that the game is a pure gem for the Japan culture lovers!

    I'm not one of those crazy about Samurais and Ninjas but the point is that the game looks so good I was super interested to put my hands on anyway!
    As I said already the game is beautiful and speaking of beautiful it looks amazing! All the colors are like the magical music converted into visual form for your eyes!
    The game has a great atmosphere that makes you dive into the game and easily tell yourself "I believe it!". Small villages, distant buildings in the mind-blowing areas, natural looking flora, tons of moving tiny elements such as stylish flying leaves around you, animals, all those elements make the game world super relaxing but definitely not dead. You clearly feel that the world is alive and believable.
    The game has a simple but great story line, great characters including what I would call really strong female character and not those artificial ones as we can see in these days modern products full of weird messages.
    The game has great combat system! Not over-complicated but enough diverse to be perfect for average gamer.
    Overall we have a great product for everyone to enjoy that should get a strong 7 or even 8 out of 10 but with what is going on in the game critics community I'll give it 9 out of 10 as the game is much better than the most of the high rated games out there according to professional critics!    … Expand

    A great example of great visuals and aesthetics not equaling great gameplay. The gameplay is lackluster and the missions are all the same. The map is filled with a ton of the same repetitive side activities. Combat and story are good, but cannot carry the game on their own through 3 acts as the missions are structured identically.

    Ghost of Tsushima isn't the most groundbreaking game of all time. It doesn't need to be.

    Sucker Punch manages to breath some new life to the old open world - genre. Genre that is often plagued by meaningless collectibles and sidequests. I didn't get that from GoT. Beautiful world to explore and if some granny wants you to whoop some mongol-ass, sign me up. The combat is phenomenal. For    Ghost of Tsushima isn't the most groundbreaking game of all time.

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
