    Fantastic game! I wish there were more games like this out there. Way better than the overrated TLOU 2. It's amazing how fun a game can be when the developers are focused on making a fun game rather than a woke game.

    This game is amazing, Why ? Because this game has all the cool aspects that exist in previous PS games, such as the combination of Tenchu ​​and MGS V gameplay, the soundtrack makes goosebumps like Final Fantasy, God of War class design, and last but not least, classic cinematic accompanied by old school story samurai, SO ... PERFECT.

    What a game !
    I can't get enough of it. I gotta give it to Sucker Punch, they really nailed the open world environment. I love all of the activities and I can't get enough of going about on the map.

    My review: Can't believe I actually created an account just to rate this game. Infact I never expected that I would even rate any game in my life. But damn, this game got me real good. I have never expected that an open world game could be as good as this. Out of all open world games, this is the best open world game I have played.The graphics are artistic and make it actually feel like you are in Tsushima. Every 20 min I stop at a place and be like, woah...gotta open photo mode!!!!Also I really like how they removed mini map by adding wind mechanism and it is extremely helpful in immersion in this beautiful world!!! I see a lot of people complaining about combat and saying its boring, as far as I know they are the people who look at the gameplay and be like,"what's so special about it? completely normal sword fights, so booring". I am telling you the combat feels satisfying asf when you play it rather than looking at it and be like there is nothing special about it. Japanese voice acting nailed it, but the mouth sync is completely off which threw me away a few times. Sometimes cut scenes feel like they are from a old 2000's game. But overall the good factors in the game made me not to worry about all these cons. Few say that the open world gets repetitive. Well they are the people who play complete story at one or complete side quests at once. If Main quests and side quests are played simultaneously, the game will be really really good. I enjoyed it a lot and would highly recommend this game to any gamer who see a really really good open world adventure.    … Expand

    It’s easy to describe the gameplay loop of Tsushima: it’s Assasins Creed (the last two of the series), it will be sold as action-rpg but there’s really little to no RPG.

There’s no equipment loot (huge bummer for me). HUGE open world map, many interest points and sub-quests to do, most of which are optional. All missions are linear with no choice or forks. In one word Assassin’s Creed.
    The good part is that the quest stories are usually nice (though not much variety) and the artistic direction and landscape are amazing, also some smart choices like having almost no UI and letting the environment guiding you to your mission points or secrets. The combat is well balanced, skill based and very stunty.
    I have to say, after the initial wow's effect i'm mildly unimpressed. I was expecting an amazing evolution of the Action genre, instead the evolution is purely graphical. The gameplay is the same i have already had for about 400 hours in t Assassin's Creed but if you like that type of game and you want more of that, this is probably as good as it gets.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a competent open world game, and the high point of the game is definitely the sword play and combat. The most fun I had playing the game was when I was surrounded by enemies, switching furiously between stances and beating down a bunch of mongols. The scenery and camera mode are also notable: I imagine GoT’s camera mode will be the gold standard for the next decade.Ghost of Tsushima is a competent open world game, and the high point of the game is definitely the sword play and combat. The most fun I had playing the game was when I was surrounded by enemies, switching furiously between stances and beating down a bunch of mongols. The scenery and camera mode are also notable: I imagine GoT’s camera mode will be the gold standard for the next decade. Gone are the days where you take a single still. The camera lets you track shots, move from point to point, change the focal length and depth of field. The scenery is beautiful, too, so capturing exceptionally good shots is a breeze. The rest of the game is pretty average. The story tries to embody the samurai films that inspire it, but is mostly filled with classic video game cliches and forgettable characters—it even feels really forced and overly simplistic. The quest and level design are both competent, but not something to really write home about—the camps are all reasonably the same, the quests all have the same trajectory (and normally two or three fights) with different characters and stories that are almost entirely forgettable or interchangeable. Even the main quest lines conclude with a siege. Twice. In a row. It felt like they ran out of ideas. The biggest disappointment is the stealth component. In a game whose story purportedly attempts to pit the honor code of the samurai against “dishonorable” stealth tactics, you’d think they’d actually put some time in the stealth mode. The AI is just awful—to test it, I one time walked back and forth across the view cone of a guard from one patch of tall grass to another. 20 times. Never once did they look through the grass. The terrible AI really makes the middling level design feel a lot worse than it really is. It’s just plain boring. I found myself just wanting to stick to the samurai honor code because the combat is so much better than stealth.

    In the end, the game has some good parts. But I think it’s pretty average overall. GoT won’t be replacing Assassin’s Creed as the premiere stealth game, or getting nominated for any GOTY awards, any time soon.    … Expand

The wind mechanic that leads you to your destination is very cleaver From sucker punch because it makes exploration more fun to make the player focus on visual clues like birds to lead to a mission and I have not seen many games trying it . It’s the best samurai/ninja ever created because of the amazing fluid combat system that’s so satisfying that’s makes you feel like a samurai and also with many cool detailed customization. There is some technical problems such the character going through some trees but it’s most has to do with ps4 hardware limitations which is expected in open world games for such an ambitious game or maybe the developers have a plan future patch to fix it. The game loading time Is so fast for an open world game which is an amazing technical achievement by the developers. The story has a great plot of exploring Jin internal struggles of abandoning his samurai code which was a serious offense in Japanese culture at that era and find a new way to save his people from the mighty mongols empire that happened to be strong for the Japanese. I really like the characters especially Jin who is a calm intelligent badass. Overall I had so much fun in this game since far cry 3. It’s a game of the year in my book.… Expand

    Najlepszy sandbox w jaki grałem na tej generacji. Świetna fabuła, zadania poboczne, obłędna grafika, znajdźki, ścieżka dźwiękowa, tryb kurosawy, klimat samurajski, rozwój postaci i bardzo krótkie czasy ładowania to największe plusy tej pozycji. Ta gra trafiła idealnie w moje gusta. Polecam każdemu niezdecydowanemu.

    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.
