    The visuals, combat, exploration and music is some of the best I have ever seen in a game. The fact that it's in the samurai period is icing on the cake. This is one of my favourite games of all time and I really hope for a sequel or something similar from Suckerpunch.

    La gran sorpresa de PS4, juegazo a toda los niveles, gráficos de ensueño, gran jugabilidad y una historia que engancha. Además de unos tiempos de carga que no me creo en PS4 con un HDD.

    This is the best game I played this Jan 2020 until now. At first I thought this game is like AC games but no. For me the story is great and the graphics too. I think this game can be a candidate on the game of the year. It is a must play game.

The story is amazing and it reminds me of classic japanese cinema, the music is very immersive and memorable, the graphics are mind blowing and photo mode is like a dream come true. the combat is very impressive, the only tiny flaw is when enemies are hit by arrows it looks silly. Sadly ultra left progressive reviewers bombed this game with 60s and 70s when that is far from the rating it deserves all because it doesn't have thar ultra diverse marginalized cast they always beg for. People need to get off their high horse of virtue signaling and allow people to enjoy games for what they are ENTERTAINMENT NOT POLITICAL STATEMENTS. Expand

Now for the real review, the story and the gameplay are incredible, you get to explore but you can choose your path, this truly is a game of choices and branching paths and story lines. The mechanics like I said incredible and customizable, the gameplay is extremely fluid. If you love stealth or being a ninja and assassin you will love this game. Expand

    This game is amazing. Sure, the climbing can be clunky at times, but dear lord, this game was everything I wanted, the story is pretty top-notch, but the combat is incredible.

    After having played the game for 40 hours so far (Post game currently) the game is very fun, its like assassin's creed but its been way more fun than any of the assassin's creed games in the last couple of years, overall 10/10

    Every bit as great as Breath of the Wild and God of War! One of the best game purchases I’ve made, this game is so good.

I can’t wait to get back playing it after I put it down, the game really draws you in. I love that you can rest and relax in some of the most beautiful gaming environments ever created. I also really appreciate that you can choose stealth or open combat in most situations. Both systems are fantastic and rewarding. I hope we get a sequel and I hope Sucker Punch doesn’t change up the mechanics too much. This game really balances what I want out of a game, which is some customization (not too much like Nioh), fantastic World building (1st in its class), fun and exciting combat (like God of War), and a continuation of the realistic Samurai experience without otherworldly creatures.

    My top 3 all time game list - 1.Breath of the Wild 2.God of War 3.Ghosts of Tsushima

    Thanks Sucker Punch!!

    Overall an incredible achievement for an open world game. Good story, great cast of side characters, very good combat mechanics, amazing progression system, deep cosmetic customization with micro transactions.
    The wanted to create a game honoring the samurai movies of old and they basically created a playable one. Perfect realization of an artistic vision.
    It is probably more a 9/10

    It is probably more a 9/10 than a 10/10, but unfortunately the people that can´t accept that this game is better than Tlou2 have started their review bombing. So I´ll add that point just to counter that.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I have come into contact with the work of suckerpunch. This work was created by a Western company based on the motive of another country, but it is surprisingly well understood and well described. Due to the characteristics of the subject matter of this work, it inevitably contains beautification of samurai, but I personally don't think it's a big problem because it also clearly describes the part of alternative history, or rather degrades it. As for the action, it's perfectly designed. I think it is a very good judgment that Parry created a special attack by enemies that cannot be prevented in several stages so that it is not a universal measure. It's a big disappointment that there's no additional content or newgame+, but it's a great masterpiece that ended the twilight of PS4. Expand

    Un juego que te mete de lleno en el mundo que quiere enseñar, gracias a una ambientación muy bien conseguida, con unos combates de lo mas espectaculares y divertidos. Largo, bonito y divertido son tres palabras que definen este título.

    And I can’t understand why some people say that the game is bad. In my opinion it definitely one of the biggest release of this year and great completion of current generation

    In my time, I read a lot of books about the code of the samurai, the setting I really liked and satisfied my expectations. Yes, perhaps the gameplay is repetitive, but the visual, atmosphere and everything they did to immerse themselves in this world, deserves respect.

    With stunning visuals, great combat and a story/side missions worth playing for I have to give this title a 10/10. Absolute masterpiece by Sucker Punch with only minor flaws. Absolute banger to end the generation with and I can't wait to see what's next from them on PS5.

    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.
