    From sly cooper to infamous Sucker punch has already proved itself as a competent studio, which placed some high expectations on Ghost of Tsushima.

SuckerFrom sly cooper to infamous Sucker punch has already proved itself as a competent studio, which placed some high expectations on Ghost of Tsushima. I'm glad to say that my expectations were wholly exceeded here. The game is beautifully constructed, with environments being enjoyable to traverse as well as simply stop and take in, particularly because of the judicious use of color. Sucker Punch has managed to create numerous vibrant and beautiful environments that feels like places on a summer vacation must visit list rather than impossibly beautiful game locations. Most importantly the game's systems (HUD especially) allow for the player to soak it all up without a single UI element blocking your view. The system of wind guiding you to your goals, and songbirds bringing you to nearby locations of interest allows for a no-HUD experience that is enchanting rather than frustrating. The gameplay is a joy as well, with combat feeling especially satisfying. In a memetic twist on the immortalized words of IGN, this game makes you feel like a samurai, with a fluidity to combat that arises from an expertly tuned learning curve. The suite of abilities here feels necessary as enemy challenge ramps up throughout the game due to their skill and speed, rather than artificial feeling health and damage buffs. The storyline is something that started off slowly, and there was certainly a worry that Jin would end up one-dimensional and lifeless, but as mission dialogue and custscenes continued, it became apparent that there was a deeper layer of emotion behind Jin's stoic exterior. This was due to the excellent writing as well as the shockingly good japanese voice acting. Personally, I am without any understanding of the language, and for me the emotion came across very clearly, without any hammy overacting or wooden lines. Numerous scenes of this game reminded me of Kurosawa's Kagemusha, with the beautiful colors, visually arresting scenery and framing, and the complex and emotional through-lines of the story. If there was to be a single complaint in this game, it would likely be that some of the side content (not the companion quests, which are excellent) is very one-note. Often times a side quest is a very simple story, along the lines of " my wife is missing go find her." Which ends in finding a dead body and some bandits. Even these simple quests do have subtlety to them, and good gameplay, voice acting and framing allow for them to avoid being completely boring. There's also the fact that this game shipped without any bugs, completely finished, with no micro-transactions, something that unfortunately needs to be specifically supported with the proliferation of highly consumer-unfriendly business practices in the industry. Overall this is a must-play if you own a PS4, and this will almost certainly be remembered as the swan song of the PS4's library.… Expand

    Amazing open world samurai game, Scenery is very stunning and the story was well written. The ending was perfect and it also had me in tears, it was one of the best games I've ever played. I hope theres a sequel in the future! And on top of that an update for multiplayer is being added into the game as well

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful visuals, I can't even begin explain how many hours I spent riding the coast and exploring the island on my trusty horse, the combat is smooth and flowing and while repetitive, fun. The storyline was beautiful, the amount of twists and heartbreaking moments that really brought the emotion out was great, I easily got attached to characters and felt loss when they died. Even the side stories had me invested completely with the amazing voice acting. The only complaint I currently have is the lack of a new game + so I can expierence it all over again with my cooler armor from the start!… Expand

    A masterpiece of an open world. An emotional and gripping story showing what we are willing to give up in order to save our home. Tight and layered combant that connects with the themes of the story. Some of the best art design favoring beauty and aesthetics over realism. With a great ending.

The scenery is absolutely beautiful, the gameplay is so much fun, and if you want a challenge you can change game modes anytime!! I highly recommend anyone with a ps4 go out and get it you won’t be disappointed!

    This is a great game compared to most. This game has some of the most beautiful places you can see and the graphics are really good as well. Not only are you a samurai fighting to save the island from mongols your also the ghost and with that title come some repercussions. The gameplay is amazing and brutal but Jin is also smooth with his movements. All in all 10 out of 10

    Easily the best game of the year so far and the best game I've played since The Witcher 3. They just need a game mode somewhere between hard and ultra hard. Still, hard mode can be challenging and ultra hard is basically no hit which I had fun with even though it's frustrating.

    Actually created a metacritic account just to review this and make sure people know this game is dope AF.

    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.
