    Amazing game, not much else to say. Its beautiful, the combat is fun, and the story is brilliant and engaging.

    The game is very good, but not perfect. The world is gorgeous, the combat has depth, and the story is complex. The photo mode is so good, that I use it, instead of shrug it off like in most games.

    Where it stumbles for me is in the quality of life aspects. There's a few too many mongol patrols on the roads, to the point that I don't have fun exploring b/c there's yet another group of 4-8 enemies to kill. Another let down is in the basic side quests, where it becomes nothing but go to an area and kill the camp of mongols. It would benefit from being able to skip cut scenes, and clearing the map haze more easily. Again, it's very good, but some frustrations.    … Expand

    Este game é simplesmente o jogo mais viciante que já joguei depois de The Witcher 3, as missões secundárias possuem histórias fantásticas, além de elementos que vão ajudá-lo nas missões principais, o visual do game é lindo, a gameplay de combate é prazerosa, pois cabe ao jogador trocar o método de ataque conforme o oponente e vc só conseguirá isso invadindo acampamento e derrotando chefe,Este game é simplesmente o jogo mais viciante que já joguei depois de The Witcher 3, as missões secundárias possuem histórias fantásticas, além de elementos que vão ajudá-lo nas missões principais, o visual do game é lindo, a gameplay de combate é prazerosa, pois cabe ao jogador trocar o método de ataque conforme o oponente e vc só conseguirá isso invadindo acampamento e derrotando chefe, entretanto vale muito a pena. O game consegue passar a imersão do fato que ocorreu entre 1274 à 1281, embora seja uma ficção os desenvolvedores souberam aproveitar bem o contexto histórico, e aparentemente no game testemunhamos o nascimento do primeiro ninja, tbm há a seguinte questão de moral: Fazer o que é certo e honrado ou fazer o que é necessário para salvar seu povo?

    Overall, amazing game. A couple of notes to be aware of though; the programming is not top notch. the flaws aren't as noticeable on Hard, but really shine through on Legend difficulty. Poor hitbox design, enemies using unblockable attacks teleport to your location even if you're 20 feet away. Also, the stagger mechanics leave alot to be desired. I'm not referring to the multiple stanceOverall, amazing game. A couple of notes to be aware of though; the programming is not top notch. the flaws aren't as noticeable on Hard, but really shine through on Legend difficulty. Poor hitbox design, enemies using unblockable attacks teleport to your location even if you're 20 feet away. Also, the stagger mechanics leave alot to be desired. I'm not referring to the multiple stance system they have in place to stagger their guard break, but moreso, you could hit an enemy dead in the face for 90% of their hp and they just continue to react as if nothing happened, but god help you if you get poked in the toe while midair, as your body ragdolls to the ground and has immeasurable trouble standing up after. I'm not going to get into a 'realism' debate in a game where 1 man is literally chopping down armies, but seeing as how Legend difficulty wasn't added to the game for several months after initial release, it feels like the game devs Had to know that the flaws were there, but decided to just let them go with a "Eh, it's good enough" attitude. Also the targeting system is a bit of a joke. Both of them. You can choose to move your analogue in the direction of the enemy you want to swing at and hope the game registers which enemy you're selecting when you're surrounded by 20 enemies, or activate the targeting reticle system and deal with all of the camera issues that follow. Not to mention, there are times where all of your opponents will be directly in front of you when you're charging an attack, and for seemingly no reason, your character will turn around and walk in the other direction before unleashing said attack, leaving you completely defenseless and swinging at air as the mongols just walk up and bury a sword or spear in your back. But wait there's more. You *Do* at some point get an "unblockable" attack of your own after completing a quest, so now you have at least 1 attack that comes close to the **** your opponents have access to, but at best, all its good for is breaking an enemies guard and just leaving them temporarily staggered. Which is a pretty big **** difference from the unblockable attacks your enemies get, which blow through your guard, can't be parried, and also kill you in mostly 1 shot. Kinda pathetic really. Especially when your enemies can (and due to poor programming, WILL) spam those moves 6 times in a row on occasion.

    So, i Know i didn't go into the things that I liked about this game, because once you start playing they're all pretty obvious. The combat, for all of its flaws, can be excused on normal and Hard, and is occasionally satisfying, even if it becomes repetitive after the first act or so. The cooperative play was boring, linear, and unintuitive. Just know ahead of time playing on the hardest difficulty isn't difficult because of the skill level it requires, but the fact that you're fighting against the laziness of programmers that clearly refused to fix a laundry list of mistakes.

    Oh, and you can't skip cutscenes. It's 2021, and this game doesn't allow you to skip cutscenes. That's a massive red flag in my book. I'm understand that some basement dwelling nerd wrote a story that he was super proud of, but that doesn't mean I wanna hear it. If someone had told me before I bought this game that the cutscenes were unskippable, I would have ignored it entirely on principle. It's 2021. Game Dev's everywhere, get your **** together and make cutscenes skippable. We don't all wanna be stuck or held hostage to your **** storyline. For **** sake, at least make it an option, and if your story is any good, we'll pay attention.    … Expand

    Pretty flowers, guiding wind and dark atmosphere that captures the setting of feudal Japan and the Samurai perfectly, making it one of the most gorgeous looking games to date, what could go wrong? Well, unfortunately, it's just a very beautiful wallpaper, no depth, no risks, nothing never-seen-before... same old generic Open World "Go there, kill enemies, liberate territory".

Well, unfortunately, it's just a very beautiful wallpaper, no depth, no risks, nothing never-seen-before... same old generic Open World "Go there, kill enemies, liberate territory". To be frank, there's a big variety of tools when it comes to combat and the feeling of the Katana is EXCELLENT, smooth animations and many abilities to unlock, it's a very enjoyable experience despite the repetitive and shallow mission design which is by far the biggest problem of the game. As for the story, it's simple and predictable with some amazing scenes, and there are some very few likable characters but most of them are forgettable because it feels like, everyone can be Jin Sakai, even though he's a cool character, he doesn't feel like he's his OWN character, he's just a random Samurai, and this goes for every other character in the entire game. In the end, I was left a tiny bit disappointed, because honestly, I couldn't get attached to this game, and I don't understand why, but I will give it a higher score than what it deserves because I really had fun playing it, some scenes were absolutely fantastic and the music was great and that made the whole game better for me.… Expand

I also really appreciate that you can choose stealth or open combat in most situations. Both systems are fantastic and rewarding. I hope we get a sequel and I hope Sucker Punch doesn’t change up the mechanics too much. This game really balances what I want out of a game, which is some customization (not too much like Nioh), fantastic World building (1st in its class), fun and exciting combat (like God of War), and a continuation of the realistic Samurai experience without otherworldly creatures.

    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.
