    Gráficos lindos, Respeito com personagens e uma história e enredo convincentes. Ghost of Tsushima é tudo que The Last of Us 2 deveria ter sido.

    I'm not much of a gamer but GOT def changed the past few days for me- all I've been doing is binge this super fun samurai game! Buy it now! My only regret is I didn't buy the deluxe edition for the super sweet blue armor w/ fur.

    The game is simply beautiful and thoughtful, and details are breathtaking. Adventure and exploration are brilliantly mixed together. Met all my expectations. Combat is smooth and precise, and not impossibly difficult as in Sekiro. I haven't come across any bugs or glitches so far. What's not to like? I'm simply addicted to it :)

    Ghost of tsushima is one of the best looking open worlds you will ever see. As a Japanese American, it was the perfect depiction of my culture's history, it accurately shows the kind of lives Samurais would live in feudal Japan. While at times the game can become monotonous, it only does it before proceeding into an engrossing sword fight. Loved it! Would recommend 10/10.

    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

    Breathtaking visuals and cinematic combat. Got goosebumps on several occasions when playing. Only a few bugs and some repetition in quest structure. This is the lone wandering swordsman simulator I have been waiting for!

    Beautiful game. Combat never gets boring as you are unlocking new skills, tools, stances and abilities. The open world is full of exploration, quests and many things to do. This is hands down one of my favorite games of all time with everything blending together to make an absolute great gaming experience.

The game is stunning, visually breathtaking, the draw distance is extremely impressive and makes the game feel almost next gen. Also the loading times are so quick and I heard they actually made loading take longer than it could have in order to give people time to read the tips. My two favorite things about the game are the use of the wind rather than the minimap and the combat system. The wind allows the game to feel more immersive and rather than spending half your time looking at the waypoint you can enjoy the game for all its beauty. The combat is extremely polished, fluid, and realistic. It feels like I’m actually using a sword. Also there is something really fulfilling about use the stone stance to take down a duel wielding enemy than switching to water stance to kill a sword user and then rapidly firing an arrow to headshot an archer. One of the most enjoyable combat systems in any game I have played. Also a small thing that I really lived when your following and nod and start running they will run as well and if you get on your horse they will get in a horse as well. No more slowly waiting for the Boca to finally get to their destination. Only big complaint is the camera. It can get a little wonky at times and I’ll be fighting but only staring at the wall of the building but you get used to it over time. Lastly I really don’t like how many reviewers were upset about this Japanese game being made by an American company. I consider myself extremely left and it just seems like a dumb thing to nitpick. If anything this game shows extreme appreciation for samurai culture and is also mostly based on movies rather than actual live events. Also if you complain about this game being made by an American company but have taco night at your house, you should definitely double check your cognitive dissonanc… Expand

    I'm loving this game. The combat and the visuals are triple A. The only thing that drops the game down 1 point for me is that there's a bit of repetition that gets tiring at times. Game is recommended.

    I'm here putting my opinion on ghost of tsushima so far on Act 1 of story is really great. I played it when came out to Sunday night as well half today because couldn't put it down or change games. At of end it I went to it is great but some minor bugs in the game for the enemies. Everything as for other things it a beautiful game graphic wise.

    Game is absolutely gorgeous, first game iv ever stopped countless times just to look at the art and vistas. definitely the best looking game ever created. As a samurai & japanese nerd, the gameplay and theme was right up my ally, who doesn't live sword-fighting eh?. did i mention how beautiful the biomes are? wow.

    Feels very much like Assassins Creed, which isnt a bad thing. Combat can get repetitive, but boss fights are pretty good. Graphics are amazing, story is compelling, combat is standard.

    Great game! It's graphics are great. The lack of a HUD is a bit different, but lets you take in all the sights and sounds of the game. The game is open world, which I love and hate.
    Although combat is seamless, I will complain that sometimes, I'll want to block/attack someone but because there's no lock on feature, I'll end up attacking someone else instead.

    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.
