    Best openworld experience since horizon zero dawn! Exploring The island of tsushima is a joy and you're bound to lose track of time and tell yourself ill just Explore 1 more location before I put down The controll and suddenly two hours has past. A must play game if you enjoy open world games

    Visuals have to be the best that I’ve personally seen on the ps4. Combat, and combat progression is top notch. Story is captivating, and character development is great.

    Easily the most visually stunning game on that's ever been produced on console.
    The world is so nicely laid out and the detail is something to behold.
    The combat is so satisfying and is continuously evolving. Playing this game on hard and not obtaining damage in a fight is one of the most satisfying times I've had playing games.

    The side tales, while all playing out pretty similarly, gives a great insight into the lives of the side characters. The first time I've ever completed all side quests before finishing the main story.
    A great pleasure to play, and can't wait for a NG+    … Expand

    I absolutely love this game! From the clever ways they create for the player to explore, to just seemingly getting lost in the beauty of this open world. It’s such a simple and direct plot but a masterpiece when it comes to side missions.

    The game is beautiful and the gameplay is great! And what is best is that it is a game without any SJW agendas! The only downside is that it doesn’t have a lock-on system

    I haven’t quite finished the main quest line yet but I’m about 2/3rds of the way through and I thought I would write this review while waiting for my PS4 controller to charge. I have been playing this game almost non-stop since its release.

    If there’s one word that could sum up this game it’s fun. It’s much more than that, but I haven’t had this much fun with a game for a long time.

    If there’s one word that could sum up this game it’s fun. It’s much more than that, but I haven’t had this much fun with a game for a long time. Ostensibly this appears to be an Assassins Creed with a Samurai theme with familiar open world tropes, but when its executed this well it is so much better than that. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous – I’ve used the photo mode in this game more than all other games I’ve played put together. The art design and the vivid colours are at times breathtaking.

    The map isn’t peppered with icons everywhere that usually signify cookie cutter side missions that are needed to level up, instead they are kept to a minimum as exploration is greatly encouraged instead of merely going from point A-B. Side missions are as much fun and quality as the main quest and they are varied and interesting - much time and effort has been put into both. There are no clumsy intrusive lines showing you where to go instead you follow the wind, foxes or certain birds which show you the way to missions, or places of interest. A simple but brilliantly effective idea of maintaining immersion. Every point of interest has a purpose, whether it’s to increase health or increase charms.

    But it’s the combat where this game really excels. It can be as simple or as complex as you wish. With four different sword techniques that you can change mid combat at will, and with multiple move sets per technique, it makes for some impressive and visceral combat. Bandit camps are no longer the tedious level up method deployed in AC games instead, because of the glorious combat, they become something to look forward to.

    The game does have a few minor quibbles; there are probably more bugs than there should be – though I’ve not encountered any game breaking ones, and the camera needs a lock on, too many times it got caught up behind a bush or obstacle meaning you can’t see, sometimes meaning you lose the fight.

    But overall this game is absolutely superb and the more I play the better it gets as it reveals more of itself. Without question, so far this is my game of the year...by some distance.    … Expand

    Absolutley brilliant. 15 plus hours in and i am really enjoying the story and gameplay. The lighting in this game resembles a piece of art it really does stand out. Who does not want to ride through scenic fields and picturesque landscapes. Of course it is not a hundred percent but nothing really should be as we with any sense know that that is the mythical score.

    This game plays like a damn fiddle!
    Gameplay and the depiction of 13th century Japan are superb. Just a prime example of what listening to your fanbase and focusing on good writing, pacing and believable characters can lead up to.

    What a piece of ART.

    Ghost of Tsushima truly feels like a Next Gen game. The world is absolutely stunning and you can easily get lost in it. Best exploration and open world game since RDR2. The Wind tracking mechanism is a great idea. Lovely soundtrack. Wonderful japanese voice acting. Combat system is so much fun. Also the attention to detail: the sound of rain inside a Mongolian    What a piece of ART.

    Lovely soundtrack. Wonderful japanese voice acting.
    Combat system is so much fun. Also the attention to detail: the sound of rain inside a Mongolian tent, the realistic drag marks of corpses in the sand or Jin's hand touching the flowers when walking through a meadow. Also the ability to "write" Haiku adds a nice touch. The "Kurosawa mode", or Samurai Cinema will effectively turn your game into a 50s samurai movie. This is perfect for fans of the classic samurai films.
    The story is really good, it starts slow but will get better later on.
    Can't remember the last time I cried during a videogame.

    A worthy end to the PS4 era.    … Expand

    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.
