    As many people have stated the outstanding positives of this game I won't be repeating them myself.(atmosphere, gameplay,story, narrative execution etc.) The game has indeed some problems though minor ones. I write this review after I platinumed the game.
    - The stealth sections are not bad. Yes, they are not TLOU 2 improvements we've seen but keep in mind this is an open world game. Yes,    As many people have stated the outstanding positives of this game I won't be repeating them myself.(atmosphere, gameplay,story, narrative execution etc.) The game has indeed some problems though minor ones. I write this review after I platinumed the game.
    - The stealth sections are not bad. Yes, they are not TLOU 2 improvements we've seen but keep in mind this is an open world game. Yes, it's not revolutionary. The problem lies with some upgrades you get in-game(like stealth armor-charms) which make the stealth less believable. But if you play it on hard without any real stealth upgrades the AI is believable enough(at least as far as the most open world AI is considered). However, in my opinion, it does a good enough job to immerse you in the gameplay of the Ghost. I would like to see improvements in next gen in this aspect from SuckerPunch though.
    - Mid to Late game you have so many tools that you are cheat. This same problem I dealt with Jedi: Fallen Order. As in Jedi where you could brute your way with the OP force, here you have so many tools that bypass the enemies defenses that if you abuse them the game is a joke(difficulty wise) even in hard. 5 Kunais, Sticky bombs, grenades, explosive arrows, smokebombs which leads in 3 chains assasinations. You can do most of the stuff in mid-late game without having to dodge-parry anything. And the enemies drop a good amount of them back so you can keep going. Though this is done to push the ghost gameplay, it overshadows the really good swordsman gameplay of the game. I would advice to not abuse them and the game will be more fun. At least this is how I feel like.
    - Act III was a bit small. Or at least I felt like that. I think Acts I and II were really good content wise whereas Act III was half in content.
    In coclusion, I would like to add that loading times for this game were REALLY good. I have the base Ps4 with the base HDD and fast travel was 3-7 secs. Respawning was 3-4 secs. That made the hunt for platinum and the overall experience very smooth( can't wait for Ps5 SSD :D ). Please don't take this review as a bad one. I'm just pointing out some minor things that could be improved upon. The game is awesome and I loved it. I would give it a 9.2 but heck it everyone seems to like it a lot!
    Thanks for reading I hope I helped you a bit.    … Expand

Notice that the combat gets better gradually, you may feel it's unsatisfying or basic initially, but it's intentional.

    A good fun game, unlike TLOU2. If you love games like Assassin's Creed, Horizon's Zero Dawn and The Witcher 3, there is a good chance you'll love this. Photo mode is amazing!    … Expand

So often I found myself wanting to stop and just take in its breathtaking scenery. I seriously can not say enough about the art direction of this game. I loved this games hud design where everything just seems to be done in a way to serve immersion. Even the way you are guided by the wind to seek quest and places added to the immersion. The games protagonist is compelling and a lot of time is spent fleshing out its host of interesting side characters very well thought out quest.
    Sound is immaculate and though I came across a few bugs none were so glaring that they ruined the gaming experience and I believe they will be patched quickly. Lots of worthwhile loot and collectibles to find. Love the lore that you can discover to learn more about the world. If you are a fan of open world immersive action games with deep customization and great rpg Elements, I highly recommend this game!    … Expand

    Such a good game. It brings me back to the time I discovered the assassin's creed franchise with brotherhood. I can't stop playing it, and the time seems to stop being a thing.

I am amazed that when you want to make a game, for the purpose of it, without wanting to send any bad political message, you can still make adults feel like kids. I haven't felt this good since a lot of time, especially cause I'm marrying in a foreign country at the moment, and that this game helps me cope with stress at a point I couldn't suspect. I would recommend this game to anyone that still has this adventurer spirit, and who want to feel like living an Isekai on your own. I would like to forget I played it so I could discover it again.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game beautifully represents samurai culture and emotions. Every side story you play has a different emotion. As a open world game, you would accept this game to be like a Assassins game, specifically like odyssey or origins which felt absolutely bleak, but this game does what almost no assassins game, or GTA game has done, it makes you feel for all its characters. Through the progression of story it makes you feel for its main characters, every characters motive seem absolutely justified. Most importantly this game makes you feel like a samurai and also a Ninja but it’s challenging combat also reminds that you are alone out in this island trying to kill other trained warriors. It successfully gives you a lesson on pride, it even tests you at key moments, if you are ready to give in your pride for the sake of your people or keep your pride for the death of your people. Next to The Last of us part 2 this game is absolutely Game of the year worthy and a must play. Game contains partial nudity and a whole lot of violence, maybe not par with the last of us part 2 but enough to make you think that you are reckless.… Expand

    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.
