    小缺點有一些，但不影響遊戲進行樂趣，

    看得出官方為了避免玩家挫折、作業感，

    設計了很多方便的設定，

    畫面風景優美，

    更重要的是，總監對玩家很Nice

The reason why I didn't give the game a 10 is because there are some rough edges that could have been fixed. For example, when characters are engaged in a dialogue, the lip animation does not match with the dialogues for both English and Japanese. It would have been really good if they did so. Additionally, there were portions of the game that faced glitches thus starting the scene again.

    Other than these 2 thorns, the game is really well made and I am loving it.    … Expand

    Excellent game! Better than I was expecting. The combat is probably the best 3rd person sword play I've played, ever! Graphics are a really good capture of Japan. Haven't finished yet but am looking forward to the 2nd one already.

    The game is fun and interesting!
    pro: great combat system, fluent actions, interesting stories and side missions;
    con: the collection systems seems tedious to me, especially when you do it for trophies.
    To conclude, I like it!

    Visually stunning! Historically immersive, at least from what I've learned in the past. The experience gives you a glimpse of how the land and culture has beauty, as well as how bleak and violent the times were.

Sucker punch promised us a great game, and they didn’t disappoint whatsoever. The combat in this game is flawless, it’s actually complex and a lot of thought has to go into it, it requires skill. It’s not just button mashing, you will not be good at combat the first time you try it, it will take a while and that’s what I love about it, you can’t keep your eye away from the screen during combat because Jin is just human, this guy can’t take much hits. Only problem with combat would be the camera angle, sometimes you can’t see yourself or your enemy. But other than that it’s fantastic. The story of this game is nothing special but that’s not a bad thing. The story is great, it works very well, it is very well paced and very well written and I was really interested in the characters and what would happen next. The story isn’t that long, you could probably finish it in 2 days if you only focused on it, but that’s not a bad thing either. Stealth in ghost of tsushima is amazing, not because it just feels super satisfying, but because you have a dozen options of approaches when it comes to stealth, there are so many approaches in stealth, you can climb up to rooftops, crawl under building, go through broken windows, take an enemy out from the other side of the door and bring him in with Your katana. There is so much variation, it never gets boring. This game really shines in the side actives and the world. The world is absolutely gorgeous and I have never seen anything like it before. I really took my time when it came to exploring the world because I wanted to appreciate it. Sucker punch put an insane amount of effort into creating this world and I cannot praise them enough. Now let’s talk about side quests/activities. There are A LOT of side quests, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot, completing all the side objectives there is in the game will probably take longer than completing the story from the looks of it. There are a lot of different side quests and all of them are insanely fun. Finding the shrines is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in this game because of the amazing parkour that you have to do to get there, and there are a lot of shrines. These shrines also reward you with charms which you can put on your katana for extra benefits. Hot springs are places where Jin relaxes to reflect on 1 of 2 things that you get to pick, once you’re done with that it gives you a little increase to your maximum health, there is literally character development in one of the most simple things in the game. Cutting down bamboo is surprisingly really fun and can be challenging at times. You have to press a certain combination of buttons to complete it in a very short period of time but completing them will give you extra resolve. Now, mongol camps. I know a lot of people will think that they’re boring, but no. I don’t do the mongol camps because it’s on my map, I do them because they are a ton of fun, I have so much fun doing them and I just keep doing more. I never ignore any fights. They’re that fun. Side missions in this game are a lot and all of them mean something, they’re not just random missions, they reward you and they all have a backstory to them that’ll keep you interested. Upgradability in this game might be a bit overwhelming at first because there’s so much to upgrade like: your armor, your katana, your tanto, your bow, your throwables and then you also have the skill tree(s), there are multiple skill trees, ones for mythic tales which give you very powerful special abilities by completing a certain mission. There is the deflection skill tree which gives you skills for deflection. Evasion, an individual skill tree for all 4 stances, An individual skill tree for all your throwables, the ghost abilities skill tree, and the exploration skill tree. And the only other thing that kind of bothered me (this is very nit picky by the way) was there were too many cuts/black screens. The game loads faster than any game I’ve played recently too, you’ll barely be able to read the tips, it’s that fast. And that’s about it for this review. If you’re on the fence for this game, please do yourself a huge favour and buy it.… Expand

    Most people gave this game a 10 because of graphics, but graphics alone don’t make the game, Ghost of Tsushima is Assassins Creed Odyssey set in Japan with mildly better graphics, nothing ground breaking here.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I am so happy with this game which is a must-play undisputed masterpiece of its own, that I played from launch day and haven't take a rest since then. You have to experience it. This game is not only for "play", is to live it. This game stands alone. It is not an Assassin's Creed "copy" whatsoever. I have played 12 AC in my life, both Altaïr-Ezio era (counter easy game), Edward-Shay-Arno-Jacob-Evie (enemies queueing to attack you once you are ready with a long killing animation after pres X), and the RPG era (Origens, Oddysey and the need for leveling up) and Ubisoft would dream of doing something so well crafted on regards this combat system. It's so random, so unexpected and changing, you have brutes, ferocious dogs, heavy shield armored enemies, double blades, katanas, spears, archers, and all in a mix of everything can happen. You will be killed in seconds if you are not in focus. Standoffs are uniques. You have 4 ways of clashing swords and you have shinobi abilities. This game also cannot be compared to Sekiro. I have played Sekiro (platinumed, it's in my top 5 of beloved games, 7 NG+), so I acknowledge that Sekiro is yet harder, but Ghost of Tsushima has its own way of satisfaction. Boss fights are epic, fast, agile, strong, and intimidating but in a human way. You won't fight a big dragon here, nor a big monkey either, yet you will be stressed with the boss fight pace as in Sekiro, but If you die, you won't lose your progress points as in DS/Sekiro, and you can play GoT in story-easy mode. I'm playing blind (haven't seen a video at all, and in hard mode). It drags you down to his immersive word with no effort, but again the combat system!, I'm amazed! For normal enemies, you have to play safely as you cannot engage with 3 guys at the same time (however you can do standoff and there is an update that will allow you to make an amazing streak with it, but this is your choice, not the games one). On the verge of having your blood pressure about to explode and your adrenaline at its peak, yet you reflect and have time to chase birds and foxes, pray and pay honors, write poetry and take hot tube bats. It is so well scripted, the missions are insane, so unique stand-alone scripted with historical accuracy. It's the perfect fantasy. A strong community is now being born, people wanting to play honorably (hahaha), others wanted the easy stealth approach. I'm playing a mix of if with my eyes closed. The game forces you to play stealthy some missions, others as an honorable Samurai. This is the best way from Sony to say goodbye to the PS4. I don't know what else to tell you, people. I'm just lost in this playthrough.… Expand

    TLDR: If you LIKE assassins creed then you will LOVE this game. There are some problems but if you liked games like AC Origins and AC Odyssey, you wont find said problems to be bothersome.

    I wont talk about specific story spoilers but I will make vague references that you might not want to hear about. No actual spoilers but it will be something vague like "the second half wasn't as good"    TLDR: If you LIKE assassins creed then you will LOVE this game. There are some problems but if you liked games like AC Origins and AC Odyssey, you wont find said problems to be bothersome.

    I wont talk about specific story spoilers but I will make vague references that you might not want to hear about. No actual spoilers but it will be something vague like "the second half wasn't as good" so yeah.

    That being said, lemme explain myself:

    The Good-
    The world is amazing. It's not a huge world but the game sure makes it feel like it. It is smaller than most (insert d1ck joke here) but it is filled with things to do and even in the empty areas of the world, the actual beauty of the world itself makes up for it. There are small interactions freely in the world like being able to pay respects to dead bodies or crouching off of the edge of cliffs for a cool picture in the extremely accommodating photo mode.

    The story is pretty good, its definitely on the better end of above average and there are many surprises in the story itself so if you though that you could tell exactly what the game was going to be about based on trailers or the first part of a lets play you saw or something, trust me- even though you dont know me-, you will not be disappointed.

    The combat is very good. Its not very difficult to learn so if you thought that if was going to be annoyingly difficult then don't worry. It does go both ways though and if you do want the challenge, im sure the hard difficulty will accommodate you. Its the perfect blend of complexity and accessibility- not too easy, not too hard. The duel sections are challenging at first but once you get a hang of the controls, you will actually want to engage in these duels more and more as they are extremely satisfying to pull off first try.

    I dont really want to mention all of the pros because as numerous as they may be, I do want to mention the bad and iffy parts.

    The Bad-
    There are slight narrative problems with the world and story but I WILL NOT MENTION SPOILERS

    Lets start with the story

    You do really get hyped for the story and it has a few set-pieces that take full advantage of the concept but the last of the three acts of the game are not nearly as exciting as the first 2. Its still good but the 2nd act is way better. Thinking on it now, the 3rd act isn't even bad, it only feels that way to me because the game was building up the story because the 1st act was good and the 2nd act was even better. The ramp up ends there and the third act is just as good as the first so idk, if you buy it, you will know what I mean.

    The world is amazing, probably the best looking and most beautiful that I have played up to date but, like with the story, there is a ramp up in the world that flattens one you get to the last 3rd of the map. You see, the map unlocks with the acts story so as you progress through the story, you also progress through the world. The problem is that the last act brings you the most boring province- as I like to call it. Unlike the story, the last act provides a much worse province than the first act. Completely covered in snow, the last province offers nothing interesting in the world in terms of aesthetics . There is still the same variety of things to do in the world but the actual look takes a hit.

    those were the pros and cons so yeah 9/10

The world may not be as “alive” as RDR2 but being in this world I’m so immersed. My take on the story:
    The story i found very cool! It’s a very cut and dry (no pun intended) samurai story, but boy does is this story told well. The side quest literally are so well told that they are mixed into the main story. Without spoiling it, the story is very cool and fun to get through.

    My take on the combat:
    The combat I find to be very dynamic which I think is a must. Pretty much every single fight is a cinematic masterpiece there’s always something in a fight that will make you feel “awesome” afterwards. There’s duels in this game that send chills down your spine when you see jin (the main character) push his sword out of his sheath right before the fight begins! Then upgrade system is super fun! 4 different stances, 20 plus moves you can unlock, a bunch of special stealth and combat gadgets to unlock! All in all I’m gonna give it a 9/10 I don’t remember a game that made me feel so epic when playing it... I think the last game I felt that way was sekiro! This game is fun, immersive, dynamic, and beautiful! Get it. Play it. Love it.    … 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.
