If you like a grounded samurai fighting game this will be a must buy for you also the game is beautiful and has an amazing photo mode the world of Tsushima is just so distracting that you can sometimes get lost in either side content or chasing a fix to unlock new charms or overall just being immersed into the world this a day 0 buy and you shouldn’t miss out sukerpunch really did a good of giving an open world experience with so much variety and amazing things to do… Expand

    My favorite game of 2020 by far! Great ambiance, graphics and gameplay! A true homage to Japanese and Samurai culture.

    This game might be one of the best games I've ever played. The fictional setting in 13th century Japan is amazing and incredibly immersive. The attention to detail and historical accuracy is outstanding.

    The gameplay is a clever mix of many different genres but with a lot of unique and interesting additions relating to the culture and style of the Samurai.

    The gameplay is a clever mix of many different genres but with a lot of unique and interesting additions relating to the culture and style of the Samurai. The sword combat blew my mind, it's so complex and yet so much fun.

    Story, music and graphics are top notch, but most importantly the art style is incredibly beautiful and atmospheric. The love the creators had for ancient Japanese culture is extremely palpable..

    I highly recommend everyone to set the language to Japanese audio with subtitles, it truly feels like you're playing an Akira Kurosawa movie. The game even offers a "Kurosawa setting" that let's you play the game in a black & white cinematic mode, I haven't tried it yet because I initially wanted to see it fully colorized, which is totally worth it, but now that I fell in love with this universe I think the Kurosawa mode could be pretty amazing actually.

    This is a must play for anyone, even if you think you're not interested in Japanese culture, after this game, you definitely will be. The game transcends genres, it's a true work of art. 10/10    … Expand

    Most beautiful game I've ever played in regards of the scenery. No matter how many times I fight in the game it makes me come back for more. Exploring the areas never get boring at all because of the scenery. Really enjoying the game. 6 hours in and still on act 1 doing side quest for the sake of a new hat.

    Everything is outstanding, from the main story to side quests they don't feel like a chores like other games. Tons of customization and skills you'll be able to do and it depends on what gameplay you'll want. Graphics is great all the scenery will make you love more Japan. Best samurai/ninja game that I've played.

    amazing graphics, fun campaign and quests. Smooth combat. Interesting characters, the main is a bit dull but that is what I somehow expected from a samurai. This game meets all my high expectations 10/10 and might even replay it. Only the Witcher 3 and Oblivion have made me do that!!

    The Ghost of Tsushima manages to offer an immersive open world game with graphics that can only be described as movie-esque.

    Amazing. Plays similarly to Shadows of Mordor and AC but has gritty realism and responsive tough but fair combat. Abilities unlock along the way, giving you tons of ways to slaughter people. Immersive as hell. Must buy

The visuals of this game are breathtaking, I've found myself stopping myself mid-quest to take pictures with the in-game photo-mode. And I NEVER use photo-mode, that's how beautiful this game is! The combat is fluid, swift, and brutal. You are given a variety of sword stances and tools at your disposal suited for any situation; which is further complemented by a skill tree that progresses at the perfect pace, making you feel like you're always improving. The story itself is gripping but can be overly serious at times. I would've liked some more comedic relief but I understand why there isn't, since the game takes place in feudal Japan as Mongolian's take over Tsushima. Lastly, the game handles Japan's culture with respect and sensitivity. I have no clue what some people are complaining about! This isn't "cultural appropriation", it's CULTURAL APPRECIATION! That said, I highly recommend buying this game before this console generation ends!… Expand

    Breathtaking visuals and cinematic combat. Got goosebumps on several occasions when playing. Only a few bugs and some repetition in quest structure. This is the lone wandering swordsman simulator I have been waiting for!

    Honestly the best samurai and open world game since The Witcher 3. Witcher has better writing and complexity. But visuals and combat in this game are breathtaking and exceptional. Love it. Famitsu 40/40 is thought to disagree.

    Put in at least 10-15 hours. Very pretty to look at. Combat is fun. Open world, if that’s your thing. Kind of feels like an Assassin’s Creed game at times. It’s fine.

    Yes yes yes. Yes a thousand times! It's refreshing these days to see a game actually live up to its hype. No, it's not perfect, but the homogeneous world Sucker Punch created is just breathtaking, and I found myself surprisingly invested in the vivid and emotional story.

    I thought this was going to be another Sekiro, but it truly wasn't. Ghost of Tsushima sets itself apart from modern games and brings back some of it's beauty and gameplay from previous Way-of-The-Samurai style games, with the style and technical benefits of 2020's best. It's an absolutely beautiful game, each frame being worth hanging on my wall. Good job!

    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.
