    The first thing I noticed about Ghost of Tsushima was how impressive the graphics looked. I went in blind. I went in with no hype. I knew it existed and that was it.

I knew it existed and that was it. But I started the game and the intro captivated me. Fire rained down from the skies as brave samurai charged their most dangerous enemy yet and they killed them without mercy. Then I actually played it. The combat is refreshingly unique. It has some Assassin's Creed influences, but the stances you can choose from to counter specific enemy types, the combos, the unique moves, it's amazing. The customization of armor appearances, weapon appearances, and even your horse's saddle is excellent and each pattern is uniquely Japanese rather than being a generic Japanese pattern that so many other games have fallen into using. Each color palate for the armor and weapon choices was made with loving detail.

    It's not perfectly historically accurate, but it uses a historical setting to write a fictitious story that is both realistic and enthralling. The characters feel unique. Jin feels a bit single-minded in the first act, but this is well-balanced by various characters such as a master archer and a woman who had her family massacred and a thief who helps him from the start. They teach him various lessons and he grows as a character as they grow. The dialogue is witty and some characters are truly gems.    … Expand

    Quality game with breathtaking visuals and combat that never gets old. Story lost me at some points but ended on a high, setting up for future installments. One problem is obviously the repetitive fox shrines and other checklist material that stands out as a negative in most open world games nowadays. But this game is brilliant and stands alongside TLOU2 as a powerful send off for the PS4!

This game was worth every penny that i was saving up for since the E3 hype a couple of years ago. This game has the most visually stunning and aesthetically pleasing graphics anyone could ask for. Story is divided into 3 acts all with carrying the weight are the characters brilliantly voiced by their corresponding voice actors. The world is brimming with content and wholesome stuff like Fox shrines, poem writing and aswell as satisfying combat which is sooo sooo good that ema single mistake can cost you a lot. Later on you will discover the power of making an effort to make most of the encounters a risk/reward situation for yourself. I recommend everyone giving this game a chance. It is GOTY for me and i have no regrets at all about pre ordering it a few days ago just before it's launch. Bravo Sucker Punch Productions! You ended the PS4's era with a banger!!… Expand

    Gameplay can get a little tedious after 30 40 hours but still ALOT of fun..

    Found myself leaving the horse behind most of the time and just running everywhere as not to miss locations and the beautifully created world ..

    My advice leave your horse alone as much as you can and just run every where fast travel is great but just exploring the world makes the game longer BUT so much more fulfilling..

    Story/story’s are great and meaningful

    All and all a amazing game hope to see more from sucker punch like this

    Truely worth a high rating not like some other PlayStation exclusives “ cough cough”

    Definitely check this game out

    Great game,story, and graphics
    Beautiful scenery
    Attached to characters
    Any game that can successfully get me mad over a loss of a good character (not like pissed at game but mad at how a character kills em off) makes me want to avenge the person and make me cry is an automatic top 10 for me

    Este juego fue una maravillosa sorpresa. Oí hablar de él mucho antes de que saliera pero no esperaba algo de esta magnitud. Visualmente es impresionante, lo mejor que he visto. No me canso de detenerme a contemplar el mundo que crearon. Y la mecánica de juego es muy buena, es entretenida y mejora a medida que avanza la historia. Muy bueno.

    Incredible game! Many trolls compare it to assassin's creed but the difference is like night and day. Open world environment, main quests and side quests keeps you entertained for hours. Sure some side quests are repetitive but not to the point of being exhausting like AC. And there are varied stories and situations behind these side quests.

    Ghost Of Tsushima is one of the best games out right now the visuals are incredible, story is well written, and memorable characters. Open World has a variety of options from doing side mission to retaking a farmstead from Mongols, composing haiku's. The combat is great but the camera can be really finicky at times. All I can say right now is buy this game this game is worth every single cent.

    People have said the game aims for historically accurate I disagree, its overflowing with modern-day sensibilities and many woke watermarks: lot of "Strong Female Characters". The SFC make up almost half of the main characters, keep in mind the game takes place in feudal Japan a country with an almost fanatical social caste system. Jin the main character is a bit of a mary Sue but his character quickly develops through out the main story. In all, SuckerPunch made a great game and its worth the money. I genuinely look forward to sequels and or DLCs, in short its an imperfect game but fun.

    I just want to start out by saying I do not think this is a perfect game but I would definitely rate it higher than a 9 if I could, maybe 9.5. Regardless, I found myself losing track of time whenever I played this game. I have not been so immersed in a game in a long time.

Regardless, I found myself losing track of time whenever I played this game. I have not been so immersed in a game in a long time. I genuinely enjoyed it and loved riding on my horse viewing the beauty that this world had to offer. I fell in love with the combat since it had a similar parrying system like in the old assassins creed games. I love this system due to the fact that you can have some insane moments where you can just completely go on a tear and cut down your foes in style. From my experience, I will definitely be playing this game again on a harder difficulty once I have done every side quest in the game. Story-wise I really liked what they did in the ghost of Tsushima. What the Mongols do throughout the game is gruesome and horrific which built up my anger and hate towards them. I found myself connecting with people affected by this war and I was saddened by the personal experiences civilians went through in this game. The gameplay is enjoyable because there are so many ways that you can kill your opponents whether that is stealthy or just straight-up fighting or shooting down your enemies. The graphics in this game are breathtaking. I love the art style in this game and love the sound of the guiding winds and how realistically the environment reacts to the wind. I love that you are able to go through this entire journey through the shoes of a samurai and experience the gruesome times that were brought by the Mongolian invasion.… Expand

    Рекомендую играть исключительно с японской озвучкой и включенным режимом "Куросава" в настройках экрана. Про высокую сложность тоже не забывайте!
    А вообще, завершающий эксклюзив PS4 по своим механикам дико похож на безупречено доработанный старый добрый Assassin's Creed. Тот самый Assassin's Creed, который мы любим, а не MMO RPG с уклоном в псевдомифиологию.
    Из минусов: пустой открытый мир и плохая режиссерская работа над кат-сценами для побочных квестов.

    Я люблю эту игру точно так же, как Самурай бережет свою катану.

    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.
