    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is amazing! Every little detail in this is so well thought of. The environment, the graphics, the story, the individual tales, combat, gameplay. Everything is perfect. A few bugs here and there but that's just a very tiny thing compared to the entire masterpiece. Highlu recommended!… Expand

    Such an amazing, beautiful game! I love the gameplay, and the story is very well-written and emotional. You become attached to the characters, even just minor ones. It's the first game I've ever gotten a platinum trophy for! It's a spectacular game and I was sad when it was over! I'm hoping for an update that will include a New Game+ option

It has everything I want from an open world action / adventure adventure game. Fantastic story with interesting and meaningful side quests, engrossing gameplay with one of the best combat systems I've ever seen. Utterly jaw dropping visuals - they are not the most "realistic" graphics, but they sure are beautiful I've ever seen on a console - proving that photorealism doesn't necessarily equal better. The world is hugely immersive and uses a clever and original mechanic to guide you to your objectives and places of interest while maintaining an organic feel. Exploration in this world is a joy, Sucker Punch does a phenomenal job of recreating the atmosphere and environment of feudal Japan, from the dense bamboo forests, to the golden forests and peaceful fishing villages, to the tranquil hidden mountain shrines. There are so many things to discover. Even if you detract from the main quest, it never felt out of place going back to it. It's actually more beneficial to complete side quests before progressing through the main story, especially on harder difficulties.

    The voice acting is superb, the soundtrack is epic and lends a cinematic quality and ambience that succeeds in immersing you into the game. It's not without flaws though. The camera system can be hindering at times, there are a few graphical glitches (which are barely noticeably unless you're actively looking for them) and the main character could be a bit more interesting. However these flaws are so minor that they can easily be forgiven as Ghost of Tsushima more than makes up for them with it's many other shining attributes.

    A superb masterpiece of gaming

    If you are looking for an immersive open world game full of things to do and a great written story with memorable characters I would really recommend this. There are a lot of customisation options and resource management and gathering is very good in my opinion because there are not a ton of resources but it's rather simple. Really a must play and get it whenever you get the chance -If you are looking for an immersive open world game full of things to do and a great written story with memorable characters I would really recommend this.

    Absolutely stunning game, completed 100% and now starting again on hard, worth buying a PS4 pro right now even though the PS4 is out soon. Nothing bad about this game, except you can't stop playing it.

    This game is amazing!!! I've been a fan of suckerpunch studios since the first infamous game and this game really shows their capabilities. The beauty and the ferocity. The only things I have negative to say is minute compared to the rest of it all and that's climbing but that's just because assassin's creed has spoiled me. Overall easily worth Game of the year if not decade!!!!

    It's a one time experience, no-one should miss it. I won't get into pros and cons of the game because there are more professional reviews out there, but this game is captivating and fun. Thanks for sucker Punch and the working team on ghost, 10/10 you guys. Everything is so well done from the story and missions to the trophies.

    It's good when a game like this became available,
    It's funny when u see a lot of badly reviews and bug videos, turning out to be all fake after playing.
    The game gives u a awesome experience about the mongol invasion.
    It's not easy to play, but and u get the timing of the stuffs, killing the bad guys became more natural.
    open world system here works in an epic way.

    After getting the platinum for this game there was nothing left, i quite literally 100% this game. I had to delete it. Now I'm sitting here missing something. Nothing is fun to play now, after being spoiled by sucker punch and their amazing game. It is for me. Game of the year.    … Expand

Was a little bit skeptical when the initial reviews came out but my friends recommended it so I gave it a go and man was it worth every penny. Everything about this game is done really well from story to graphics to gameplay. For story, missions are divided into 3 sections which are main missions and 2 side missions namely tales of tsushima which contains story about allies and mythic tales which contains the story of old samurais. These tales of tsushima and mythic tales keeps you so addicted that you won't even do the main missions until you are done with these. Main story was a bit short, but those side missions make up for it and even after you are done with the game, you'll keep asking for more. For graphics, Sucker Punch did a really good job optimizing the game on a 7 year old hardware with such graphics. It looks really gorgeous and truly gives you a feeling of Japanese culture and you can take good captures with the photo mode which has so many options for you to set a perfect scene. For gameplay, movement and platforming are really smooth, combat is good and has a variety of enemies which require a particular stance in order to kill them which makes it a bit challenging and fun when you are playing at least at hard difficulty. AI is good, enemies just don't stare at you while you beat up the other ones, they'll attack you and you'll be forced to engage with them as well. Exploration is fun as well with all the platforming and riding the horse in such a good atmosphere. Map has many variety as you keep progressing in the game.
    At last, I wanna say that if you own a ps4, you should definitely give it go and you won't regret it. A 10/10 from me    … Expand

    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.
