    Incredible graphics. Truly a work of art. Rarely repetitive. Beautiful story telling; I felt that every moment was purposeful. Awaiting a sequel ASAP.

    Really great game. Combat is fun and super satisfying at times, visuals are amazing with a wide variety of environments, loads of character customization that falls perfectly inline with the immersion of feudal Japan, and the story follows suit.

It's so tough but this game right now has knocked off FF& remake for my game of the year. This is one you really have to just play and experience. Sucker Punch has outdone themselves and risen to the ranks of a top developer for me. Its one of those games that gets better with each session and is hard to want to put down.… Expand

    I really love this game,.. beautiful landscapes, amazing combat, and interesting story. A must buy exclusive game. It's amazing this title do not burn my PS4 pro even with those particles and everything moving around. This is ART. Not so happy about the camera or the lack of a lock-target system. But I will play this game til the last bit..

    The perfect closing to the PS4 era with a game that really shows what the hardware can achieve. Solid story, enjoyable gameplay mechanics and the fact that a western company got praise from Japan says enough of the care and dedication the team put into this game. If this game does not get GOTY something is very wrong in the industry.

    I won't say i love this game, but i find quite fun, even if i'm not a fan of the genre. But "Fun" is what videogames are about right??

    The story is not particularly engaging for me, but it works nonetheless.

    The story is not particularly engaging for me, but it works nonetheless. I'm not going to spoil the story, but basically, you are put in the role of a Japanese Samurai in the feudal era, and you are tasked to drive the Mongol invaders out of Japan, starting from scratch.

    Visually, this title shines. Hardly you will find another title that delivers so much colorful and live environment like this game. The world seems and feels alive, and this is quite hard to accomplish. The wind is a used as a gameplay feature, but even if it's not subtle, still helps (or you can ignore it). However, interactions with NPC have something to be desired... Faces and expressions are kinda poor, and sometimes the interactions feel strange.

    All in all, even if i still have to finish this title, i can recommend it. Even if you're not really a fan of the Assasin Creed gamestyle (This game have some elements from it, and similar games), you might enjoy it.

    Surely, i am. And that's why i recommend it.    … Expand

    This game is beautiful. Fun combat, a huge map worth exploring and the side missions make sense with the overall story. The graphics are beautiful, and the wind guiding mechanism is original and great. The combat is really amazing. I love how you swipe to honour etc... I highly recommend this game.

    I don't believe in a 10 game. Lets be honest. there are a couple of quarks. I really enjoyed the game play. I wish there was a lock-on type control. now for the good. I love the wind as a guide. it keeps the hud away. I love the story, and the characters. I enjoyed this game so much and you will too.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I bought the digital delux edition because i am a terrible human being who has to have it at the absolute earliest he can possibly get it and because im not a hack game journalist reviewer who gets paid to play.

    I do not regret my purchase. I have painstakingly taken my time, in each area, *except for finding singing crickets and banners, i'll do those later if i feel up to it. Before i touch a story mission, i'm chasing foxes for shrines. Searching for bamboo to fell. While you simpls played tlou2 and soaked in it's horrid nature, I honed my samurai instincts with massive button mashing and dark souls rolling.

    Let me say this, I LOVE STANDOFFS. I LOVE DUELING, ITS SO GOOD IT GIVES ME YEW WOOD.

    the game is not perfect in the sense of facial animations, for some reason (there are 3 in my household who have [purchased this game and are playing it, including myself) My Jin has a fault, whatever he crawls under (building or cave) he cannot exit it from the front. Meaning looking at it. He is i suppose quite frightened of what may exist on the otherside (like my destination) i must rotate him completely around 180 and then exit feet first. i do not know why, this has been a thing. I have also discovered that occasionally jin decides that i didn't really want to grapple a tree stump or branch and says YEET and i fall. But it's ok! i expect a bit of mud to slog through in games. I'm running for performance, so i'm not set for huge graphic up-scaling like my roommates do. I get to see it in real time both ways, and i can honestly say this world is gorgeous.

    Now i love a good story, and I'll be honest I generally do not give a damn about horses. I felt bad when my nobu died. I didn't give a crap about Bartzabel (he was my horse in red dead redemption 2) I felt immense disgust in the betray brought about by my childhood friend (who strangely was not female, or in love with me, as the anime trope goes)

    Let me state this. Not everyone is heterosexual. There are characters with varying sexual identities and preferences. it is perfectly woven in and not shoved down your throat like some current games do (THE LAST OF...) it makes sense, and is glorious. Strong female characters are taking a stance, however there is one that i do not like, and only because quite literally the woman tried to kill me, ME, HER FRIEND, WHO HAS BEEN HELPING HER FIND HER FAMILIES KILLER. Of course Jin forgive her, BUT HE DO NO FORGET. (yes i said do no.) This angered me as this is my Jin and i don't forgive you i'd very much like to kill you. However Jin says oi, don't ever try and kill me again.

    Good stuff.

    I love the story, the easy to see whats coming nature of it is alright and i can get past that easily because i'm (for the most part) in control. I can chase it as i please The thrill of finding a mongol encampment and the warning "YOU HAVE ENTERED A MONGOL TERRITORY OF OVERWHELMING POWER, RUN YOU WEAKLING FOR YOU HAVE NO CHANCE, also this is story related so no you cant come in right now" Even when finding these places, i still try to take them on, many times i do quite well, before succumbing to the phantom archers. I get it, and it's fun to try and push it. I force my way through some of them, instead of taking a long trek around them. I'm lazy and i wanna go straight forward, and so i do. often it would have been quicker to go around, but i want to go this way, and i will do it, even if it takes an hour. sometimes. a lot of the time. generally speaking always. This is not a reflection of everyones experience, i choose this, and thus implemented the struggle upon myself.

    This gameplay is good. Them graphics is phat. Those story elements are cliche! (and tasty)

    I love it. For all it's flaws that remind me it's still a game, for all of it's immersion that pulls me in and has me commited to complete everything without feeling forced to do so, because if you want to climb the shrine it's up to you. If you want to chase the fox, it's up to you, if you want to follow the birds and soak in a hot spring or find some swag to pimp jins look, it's up to you.

    i don't penalize this game because of the few bugs i've had, they are not game breaking and just minor in the grand scheme. this, like god of war are 10/10. I even enjoy the music, and i'll say it's disabled through normal play but the game has forced implementation in other areas, I'm one of those guys that hates it because it robs me of immersion. But this, it just works so well and helps to ease me in, rather than distract and take me out. I love it.
    This wont be goty, The media and shills wont let it, but damn it, i'd vote for it. (yeah, even against cyberpunk 2077, they delayed till nearly the end of the year. Well they can be goty next year. im delaying my vote. it still needs polish, ya know?)

    TLDR: Did not waste my money. can enjoy this game in Japanese or English. A RARITY. Story better than tlou2.    … Expand

    Good graphics, smooth gameplay, interesting characters and cool story. These are one of the many strengths of Gohst of Tsushima, in addition to the open world that is very detailed, especially the grass of the game. The negative points are that some bugs and textures on the floor are not very beautiful. But overall Gohst of Tsushima is an excellent game.

    This game gave it's target audience exactly what they want. A great story of a badass hero wearing badass armor outfits with a fun engaging combat mechanic to fight invading bad guys. This game is the best way to visit ancient Japan as a samurai. I wish there will be more games like this that focus for it's target audience.

    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.
