The graphics are beautiful with scenery that pop because of the colours and they really nailed the island of Tsushima and its culture. The main and side characters have good and fulfilling arcs. It was intriguing to see the main character change his values and the internal conflict he has with this change to save his home.
    The open world of the island of Tsushima has many things to do with plentiful side quests and activities that are beneficial for your playthrough. One of my favourite parts are the samurai duels that you will encounter throughout the story, they feel badass and can be challenging on the harder difficulty. I also enjoyed the legendary tales which would reward you with badass weapons or abilities. Additionally, the tales of the important side characters were great to playthrough as well, as it added more emotional depth to the characters.
    The only complaint I had with the game is that the enemy AI are dumb, especially in stealth. The detection meter is unrealistically slow and it sometimes broke the immersion for me. Sometimes I felt the game is best enjoyed attacking the enemies head-on rather than using the stealth approach and the missions that required to do stealth can feel really slow.
    Despite that, GOT is another PS4 exclusive that is a must have and has game of the year potential. Definitely going in my top 5 for open-world games.

    Very engaging. Great graphics, Great storyline, excellent character progression, combat easy to get the hang of hard to master. Everything I look for in an open world game. Few small bugs at launch but not game ruining

    One of the best games of the open world, especially from the diversity of nature and side missions and their stories in addition to a powerful fighting system and the wonderful photo mode, had it not been for some technical errors in the movement of the face and language and the succession of night and day are not a big thing، would have been one of the best exclusives

    Игра отличная, но в ней есть и свои баги и проблемы (особенно камера) сюжет не плохой, графон хороший но ветер через горы это невообразимо, игра заслуживает 9 из 10

    If I can only choose one word to describe it, I'd say "gorgeous".

    Although it's not offering a lot of new or phenomenal stuffs, this game will make you forgot about all of those, since you will be drawn to the beautiful world of Tsushima, don't forget the photo mode to capture things that will make you awe (there will be tons of it). Think of this game like a lovechild of the classic

    Think of this game like a lovechild of the classic Tenchu and Assassins Creed, with a touch of The Witcher 3, trust me, while you're playing, you'll get the sense of nostalgic feeling from playing those games.

    I hope this game can be a good contender for 2020's Game of The Year, it really deserves to be one of it.

    Thank you Sucker Punch, you'll go down in the history of gaming with this game.

    This is a beautiful title to bookend the library of the PS4, great gameplay, visually stunning, and an enjoyable story that I've had a great time playing. The combat for me is where the game stands out for me personally.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Muy buen juego. Cuenta con un buen gameplay, y muy buena la banda sonora, parece a los assasin s creed clásicos. A nivel narrativo esta desarrollado bien pero no excelentemente. Las misiones secundarias como casi todos los juegos mundo abiertos dejan algo que desear pero el nivel de escenarios son buenisimos.
    El juego cuenta con un filtro en blanco y negro basandose y homenajeando las peliculas clásicas de samurai.

    El inicio es normal, parece que será un juego del montón pero luego te deja anonadado con su espectacular mundo, los paisajes son geniales y tan hermosos que no lo puedes creer, luego el combate el cual es entretenido y muy astuto para engancharte, algún detalle como bugs pueden hacer que el juego se vea afectado pero por lo demás casi un 10.

    Fantastic game so far. It has beautiful graphics and environments, fun game play, and a decent story. The combat flows very well and is especially fun. The perfect swan song for the PS4. It's worth your money and is actually enjoyable to play. Unlike TLOU2, whose only similarity to GoT is the stunning graphics.

    Gorgeous visuals and set pieces (constantly using photo mode)
    Best samurai experience in any game to date
    Amazing soundtrack
    Great story and side characters

    Cons:

    Definitely the best game in feudal Japan era. Ghost of tsushima is filled with amazing details and it's obvious that this game was made with lot of love and passion.

Story is very interesting but it could be more "human" i wanted to see more "human" interactions and more emotions between characters, everyone is very formal to each other (at least last mission gave me some emotions). I also wanted to see some big cities but unfortunately there isn't any jaw dropping cities. Stealth and combat are very pleasant and are fun to the last minute of the game. World is big and very unique. After 100% the game I could easily say that it was worth every minute. Beautiful game, highly recommend. Expand

    I wasn't looking forward to this game since I'm waiting for PS5. I recieved it as a birthday present and since then platd it. The combat is simple, but enjoyable the setting and scenery looked great throughout the entire game and the story was enjoyable.

    Story is a masterpiece. Game has great concepts and ideas which are implemented well throughout except some areas which need polishing. Mechanics could use some work which is why it isn’t a 10 but other than that it’s a must play.

    The best samurai-themed game, cool combat and great storyline. There are problems like stupid bots in stealth and the lack of animation for steps on the stairs. But all these problems are closed by the spectacular combat that the game presents, in this game you cannot live even five minutes without a fight.

    Very good game for the most part. The graphics and landscapes are beautiful, combat is diverse and well developed; smooth, satisfying and enjoyable. Side activities and interesting and unique. It taught me a good deal about a historical time period I knew very little about and portrayed the strengths and weaknesses of the Samurai’s moral code effectively.

    The story is good too, albeit quite predictable and bland at some points although it is serviceable. Nevertheless, I thought it did well at presenting the story of a warrior, one of the last of his kind, attempting to unite a resistance against genocidal invaders. Not perfect by any means, but quite good.

    Smaller issues are related to bugs and smoothness. Sometimes the frame rate may drop and some movement controls are stiff such as climbing and traversal. Dropping down from ledges is a nightmare and the horse only has two movement options of a fast walk and a fast gallop. This could easily be fixed in a bug patch or an update. Pretty good job, and I think it could be a strong contender for game of the year. The six years of development paid off very well.

    Great way to see off the PS4 pro
    I was a little sceptical about the game and did wait for the reviews, but my god they nailed it.
    For a machine that is no modern powerhouse, I have never seen such stunning use of HDR and looks. The detail, scope, audio, even the story is good...not Oscar stuff, but still very good. Side quests are in the realm of Witcher 3, not as good, but some are

    After the let down of TLOU part 2, I am happy to say we got a game worthy to see the PS4 off and usher in the PS5.

    Absolutly in love with this game! The story is spot on , the historical landmarks, battles etc are breathtaking and oh did I mention Mongolian throat singing? I've ran into a few glitches or quirks here and there but the gameplay and storytelling definitly justifies it. Can not wait to see what else suckerpunch has to bring to the table!

    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.
