    The game itself looks amazing. More than one time I died because I was looking at the scenery and not the Mongols.

    Combat is fun and after a few side missions that grant abilities it was even more fun.

    Its not perfect, a few times I could predict story points or dialogue because it hits certain tropes but overall the game is fun to play well made and definitely worth the time and money.

    Wonderful graphics, excellent storytelling and can't get enough. Sucker punch did an amazing job on this project.

    The game is graphically stunning and gameplay-wise it's super fun to play.
    Love the world, love the design, love Sucker Punch!

    This game is a masterpiece with a good story and a beautiful open world, I only complain about some missions that can become somewhat repetitive but after all it is a game of excellent quality with a good open world, greetings from Chile :)

    This game is beautiful, and I mean BEAUTIFUL. Sure, some people are saying that the mechanics are not perfect but, as I often say, with this kind of games where there's an significantly amount of difficulty, people tend to blame the game instead of their lack of abilities. Why do I give this a ten? I sincerely think this new IP is one of the best games of this year so far.

    Stunning visuals, compelling story, and innovated combat, I went into this game expecting nothing it didn't even seem like a game I would be into, boy was I wrong. This has been nothing but great since I started and I can't wait to explore more of Tsushima.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a love letter to samurai and samurai movies, particularly to Kurosawa's style. At first glance this game may look like an Assassin's Creed / FarCry / Witcher 3 clone with a samurai skin applied on top, but it is as good as those games but also more than that.

    Starting out with Ghost of Tsushima, the gorgeous landscapes & sweeping environmental art could be considered some of the best in video games.

The same kind of beauty supplied by Witcher 3: Wild Hunt & even the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is here with the many locals & vistas you’ll visit throughout Tsushima. Multiple activities/mechanics are laid out before you to keep you busy in between your tales, main or side quests that push you forward through the story. Finding shrines, fox dens, animals to hunt for skins, etc. It’s genuinely hard for me to put down my controller due to all the things within the game that keep pulling in for some more good fun. Combat is equal parts fun & challenging, delivering some of the best blocking/parrying maneuvers since Witcher 3 & dodging/rolling borrowed from Dark Souls. A huge bonus is the Kunai ghost weapon that acts as a miniature projectile, granting either better opportunities for stealth or a surprise element in the middle of an encounter. The Bow is also a lifesaver that you’ll catch yourself using more & more throughout. Smoke-bombs for stealth, customization for your sword & armor, & some of the most stylized combat that pays it’s best respects to Kurosawa Akira‘s many samurai films.

    A gripping opening to a lengthy, yet straightforward story, throwing the player into the world of Tsushima with an objective & purpose. It’s a simple Avenger story, fighting back against an invasion to avenge & protect the people being killed. Shedding the bushido code/beliefs, you will provoke war against the mongols using shinobi tactics, making yourself the ultimate Ninja-Samurai in all the land. Sounds cool, right? Samurai fans, Ninja fans, Medieval fans, Fans of Japanese History/Culture, Weeaboos, & perhaps some anime fans would definitely love the world & the game as a whole. If you enjoyed Witcher 3, BotW, RDR2, or even Skyrim, you’ll enjoy Ghost of Tsushima. The only nit-picks I have are:
    1. I sometimes wish lock-on was a feature.
    2. The “arms” glitch isn’t frequent but funny enough so it doesn’t annoy when it does happen.
    3. Walking through bamboo/small trees, making you feel like a an actual ghost. 4. NPC/Civilian AI is a little silly sometimes, falling over small dips or lighting themselves on fire multiple times.
    5. No fishing but that’s just a me thing. At the end of the 8th Generation of gaming, we finish the inevitable lifecycle of PlayStation leading to rebirth. I’m happy we can end the PS4 with GoT & hope to look forward to greater exclusives by Sony.    … Expand

    This game allows you to live as a Samurai, with a beautiful open world an easy to learn but longer to master combat system. I won't go on and on though; if you love, like, or are interested in the culture behind the life of a samurai then this game will not disappoint. No spoilers, but I can guarantee that this game contains NO steroid infused trainers eating the fingers of angry teen lesbians.

    Extremely good combat with refreshing progression, pretty good storyline, in a world with beautiful art direction, go buy it. Actually, this game is an example of why good combat should always be a priority. Some of the open-world content "would" get repetitive, IF the combat it usually happens through wasn't just so F-ing engaging.
    Horrible AI when it comes to stealth, mind you. And    Extremely good combat with refreshing progression, pretty good storyline, in a world with beautiful art direction, go buy it.

    They barely take away from the enjoyment though, not the most ambitious game I've ever seen, but nearly everything it does, it does so with conviction and competence.    … Expand

    I don't know who designed the landscapes, but whoever it is, Suckerpunch needs to give them a raise. I went in expecting next to nothing and have been absolutely floored by the graphics and brutal sword play. Could use more dismemberment, but I digress.

    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.
