    Great side quests that keep giving and giving, My favorite was Tomoe's storyline betraying her Sensei. Lady Masako's storyline was excellent as well. The visual were absolutely incredible for a open world game. The combat is very good as well. I'm collecting items to finish this 100% for my Platinum trophy,. Thank you Sucker Punch for this amazing experience, this was well worth the wait.

    The graphics of the game are beautiful and breathtaking at times. The gameplay is good though it can get a little repetitive at times especially since you use the same sword the whole game. The story is good, it's not groundbreaking to me and the pacing gets really slow at time.

    Игра шикарная, до последнего не верил в успех игры, но купил по скидке 50% (акция в магазине). Японский сетинг прекрасен, все эти самураи, ниндзя, кланы, войны, мечи, честь и т.д. Сюжет интересный, намного приятней слышать "монголы" нежели чем "орки, тролли" да и историю Японии тоже интересно узнавать. Графика отпад!

    Overall - 8.5/10

    +Good graphics, way too much particles though
    +Good story
    +Epik voice acting
    +Best title opening sequence

    •Decent combat

    -Camera not centered properly
    -boring side missions except the mythic tales
    -never cared about bow or stealth

    Overall a good open world game which didnt take any risk to try something new.

    Only downside for myself is some side tasks can prove a little dull and respective from time to time but nothing painstaking by any means, I have also had some difficulty getting used to the controls but it eventually came to me after some practice. Kirasawa mode is a very cool touch.

    One of the best games I've played in a while! I absolutely LOVE this game! No grinding, no loots, no cheap deaths or cheap mechanics. The game is challenging but always fair. Also, this is one of the most beautiful games on the PS4! I only gave it a 9 instead of 10 because it can get a little repetitive while clearing the map.

    The free expansion and free online DLC is just the cherry on

    Fantastic pick if you are looking for something to fill the samurai void in your gaming life. But unfortunately, is held back by a lot of open world tropes that are becoming tiresome.

    Overall, fantastic story that holds some heavy moments that drive the emotions hard. The voice acting is exceptionally executed, coupled with some of the best written characters ever. However, due to the open world format, the pace does suffer a bit, but not enough to detract away from the adventure.

    The visuals and sound are fantastic, the whole island of Tsushima is stunning and a joy to explore. Even the grind that has been introduced is a lot of fun, but again, suffers from the open world format. It does feel like a bit of a chore to run around and collect items, unlock areas, take down outposts etc. The in game activities do fit nicely with the overall theme, but is a bit immersion breaking when some are obviously 'filler'. With that all in mind, the game excels in the combat department. Don't get me wrong, it's more of the 'counter/attacker' game-play we are used to, but feels satisfying with the multiple stances that can be implemented for strategic value.

    You would be forgiven for saying this is 'Assassin's Creed Japan', however the story and visuals really do make this one stand out. Ghost of Tsushima does everything it is trying to do very well. It would have been nice to see some more realism or a little more innovation rather than sticking with the same open world gaming we are used to.

    Nunca joguei um jogo de samurai tão incrível! Não me lembro da última vez que me diverti tanto jogando um game, se não fosse pelos bugs na câmera valeria um 10

    A game that graphically is up there with some of the best. The story is captivating but personally for me, the repetitive nature of some of the tropes of open-world games, can become something that becomes a chore to do and return to.

    Combat is really good, can take a few hours for the parrying and dodge to really click, but once it does you start to feel like a real badass. I also love the progression, theres lots of side quests and various tasks that really flow with the main story and dont seem like too much of a chore, especially as the rewards can be very satisfying, depending on the side quest. would have givenCombat is really good, can take a few hours for the parrying and dodge to really click, but once it does you start to feel like a real badass.

    Loving every detail in this game, the atmosphere in Japanese culture, every hit, every stance and move in this game is so satisfying, storyline is decent, the level design - the graphic is absolutely stunning, it's like the peak of the PS4. My only complaint is that they have done so much for the game but the lips sync system for Japanese is quite bad.

    Might just be the best game of this generation. I only missed to interact with my horse a bit more, like in rdr2.

    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.
