    After playing and replaying the game twice, all I can say that Ghost of Tsushima is a Game of the Year contender. This is the best way to end the PS4, and better take notes Naughty Dog, because this is way better than TLOU2. The game has one of the most amazing and colorful realistic graphics I've ever seen and the story makes you want to relive those events of the Kamakura era.

The game has one of the most amazing and colorful realistic graphics I've ever seen and the story makes you want to relive those events of the Kamakura era. The combat, sure it can get repetitive at times, but I had a fun time that it wouldn't want me to stop. After I beat the game in English, I've replayed the game in a harder difficulty, but only this time, in Cinema mode, where you get to play the game is black and white just like the old samurai films made by the late Akira Kurosawa. It made me remanence the old classic black and white movie that were made in Japan as a child like Godzilla.

    In conclusion, this game was a fun game that I would love to replay it again. Not to mention that it doesn't forcefully push agenda and cram SJW into the game *cough TLOU2 cough*. And no, this game is NOT racist towards Japanese, so stop speaking for them and let them hear what they had to say, otherwise, you'll be hated by the Japanese for saying false information and it makes you the racist one, not Sucker Punch.    … Expand

    Its really really really something rare this days , but I wish there was two things ;
    1.It was made by Japanese people or it had been made under strict supervision of Japanese masters.
    2.the base game was hard and punishes the stupidity .

    One of the greatest games I've ever played. The graphics are breathtaking and complement the spectacular open world with many things to do, the combat is satisfying and the stealth is fun, the game doesnt have too many bugs and the ones they do have fix themselves! Overall a great game!

    Tsushima is beyond breathtaking, beautiful and worthwhile at every corner. The atmosphere is handled extremely well, which is complimented by probably the best sound design I have ever heard, the player being sucked into sucker punch's creation. Every sword strike feels power- and meaningful, being accompanied by dramatic hits, drums, flutes and singing. The titlecard gives me shivers everytime and is one of the most powerful gaming intro's I've ever experienced. The combat starts off easy and boringly simple, slowly adding up while one's own skill grows until you eventually become... The 'Ghost of Tsushima'
    There's just NOTHING more satisfying than mongols laughing at a stand-off before you slaughter each of their friends in one quick slice, the others throwing their weapons away and cowering on the ground.

    Now that I'm done sucking the game and sucker (haha) punch studios off, let's get into some of the negatives:
    The story is rather bland. 'Servicable' is the height it reached for me. This meaning it motivated and kept me intrigued. However, the real strength of this game comes from combat, exploration and even sidestories (which sometimes are surprisingly deep and fleshed out).
    Characters are fine and well written. Not much (overall) blew me away but I never felt unsatisfied.

    That being said, there are some shining moments like surprising + negative situations, that are actually well made (watch and learn, "new dogs").

    Minor, but still something I picked up on: Some of the animations are clunky while other's are beyond admirable. Things sometimes 'just happen' at a button press, without much of a transition between stances or weapon types. I suppose 'The last of us Part 2' really spoiled me in that regard.

    Strong 8 to a light 9 for me.    … Expand

    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.

    Я полностью прошёл эту игру, и могу с уверенностью сказать что она безумно понравилась мне, странно, потому что казалось бы , все механики , приемы, боевка уже были раньше , это ни в коем случае не прорыв и не новшество, но это играется все так лаконично, а выглядит просто потрясающе, каждая локация, каждая арена с боссом и каждый новый пейзаж просто опьяняет своей красотой и эстетикой.

Я видел и слышал много отзывов о том что игра наскучивает через какое-то время, но я никак не могу себя отнести к сторонникам такого мнения. Мне не было скучно ни секунды , все бои выглядит и чувствуются энергично и кинематографично, поединки с боссами отличаются великолепным визуалом и атмосферой , и в целом весь игровой процесс в открытом мире Цусимы доставлял мне удовольствие на протяжение всего прохождения. Поставил восемь баллов лишь потому-что на максимальном уровне сложности враги не отличаются умом: тупят, иногда нападают по одному и ОЧЕНЬ долго замечают тебя когда ты проходишь задание по стелсу. В остальном это прекрасная игра с невероятными пейзажами и пропитывающей тебя атмосферой и духом Японии тех времен.… Expand

    What a game!

    To be honest, the first few minutes of the game was a bit underwhelming, but it got better and better in time.

    Lush environments, particle effects, sunbeams penetrating the bamboo leaves, fireflies, moonshine through a wall of fog... Damn... it is so beautiful! I have never spent so much time in photo mode in any other game.

    Combat is right out crazy and pretty realistic. Both "Samurai" approach and "Shinobi" approach to combat are fun and fluid. So many different skills and gadgets to choose from...

    The only reason I say 9, is there are a few bugs at launch. However, these have been minimal, some graphics glitches, etc. I expect they will be patched right out with a q quickness.

The upgrade system of the armor and weapons are great and encourages you to keep exploring, completing missions and quests, to make your character stronger which makes combat even more fun to play that it already is and make you look cool at the same time. The graphics in this makes game looks absolutely gorgeous...helps you get fully immersed into the game. Voice acting for Japanese (the one I'm currently using in the game) is very well done. I haven't tried the English setting on the game. This game is a must have. I've been wanting a great samurai game like this and I'm glad that Sucker Punch was able to deliver just that.

    what a game! easily the best third person combat system ever made , a blend of Assassins creed/ Spider Man and Batman Arkham Knight. Silky smooth and enough new elements introduced through out to mix it up. The story is serviceable and does the job but the Beautiful locals makes up for it. Enjoy the journey and the little moments. One of the games of the Console generation for me, Don't miss it !

    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.
