    I'm just going to come out and say it, Ghost of Tsushima is my GOTY for 2020. It's also one of my favorite games of all time. It blew away my expectations. The combat is sooo good and the other aspects of gameplay are very well done too.

    The graphics are second to none. Seriously, this could be the best looking game I've ever played. Red Dead Redemption 2, Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War look amazing in their own right, but Ghost of Tsushima has moments that I think surpass even these top contenders. The world and atmosphere that Sucker Punch have created is so rich and magical, it just pulls you in.

    I'll probably write a better review later. For now suffice it to say that this is a very special game and I applaud Sucker Punch for how much they have improved as game creators and for creating one of the best games of my life so far.    … Expand

Trust me, ignore them and just read the players comments on here and on YouTube videos and you will realise the critics take their job description to literally...they just like to be critical even when it’s not warranted!

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful game, immersive, thoughtfully done making playing the game very user friendly ie the combat flows and is like no other, travelling around the world is a pleasure, the wind system is genius and the side quests are genuinely interesting and you feel invested in saving Tsushima.

    I’ve played hundreds of games on multiple platforms over many decades and this game stands out and is the easiest 10/10 I have ever given. Do yourself a favour and play it, you won’t regret it!    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank God! Fortunately, there is still a highlight at the end of the console generation.

    Great graphics and atmosphere. Great combat system. Fantastic open world.

    The only drawback, who is already overwhelmed with the brainless gigantism in Ubisoft's AC series, will also encounter the typical problems of Open World games at GoT. Beautiful, but big and time-consuming open world, which can lead to motivation problems at some point. After 20 hours, you only saw 30% of the game with side quests etc. You should know this before you buy the game, but it's worth every penny.

    Nevertheless, it has become the masterpiece that another AAA game wanted to be recently and failed miserably. Without any disgusting political agenda, Ghost of Tsushima puts play fun and show values ​​in the foreground and delivers what you expect and deserve as a player.

    Thank you Sucker Punch for this masterpiece! It also fills the void that the Tenchu ​​franchise left after the brand died.    … Expand

    Visually stunning with a great soundtrack. The AI are kind of retarded and stealth doesn't work the way it's supposed to. The combat gets repetetive quickly and the story drags a little by the end. Not very difficult overall even on the hardest setting so casual gamers can enjoy it to it's fullest. It's a solid game though for some light entertainment. 8/10

    Bei all denn Kontroversen in der letzten Zeit um AAA Spiele. Sei es Politik, Microtransaktionen, Lootboxen, etc... lässt es Leute schon vorsichtig werden bei neuen IP‘s.
    Ghost of Tsushima ist ein Erfrischend ehrliches Spiel. Ein Vollkommendes Spiel, mag man fast sagen.
    Keine Shop‘s, keine Boxen.. einfach nur Spielen. Dies auch noch in einer Atemraubenden Kulisse, die nur noch von der Filmreifen Story übertroffen wird.
    Man merkt Sucker Punch‘s liebe zu Asiatischen Kung Fu Filmen in jedem Charakter, Detail der Welt oder dem Menü die einen das Spiel Starten lässt.
    Ich bin jetzt über 30 Std im Spiel, so wie durch das 1 Kapitel. Habe aber immer noch nicht ansatzweise alles gemacht was man im Ersten Kapitel/ 1 Abschnitt der Map machen kannst.

    Die einzigen ‘‘Mängel‘‘ die mir einfallen könnten bisher:
    - Eine Ungewöhnliche aber Schnell und Intuitive Steuerung/ Steuerung’s Schema
    - NPC‘s sehen wie bei jedem Spiel, etwas schlechter aus als die Wichtigen Charakter
    - Man besucht öfters mal im Beginn des Spiel, Bereiche öfters. ( Nach der Mainmission werden Neben Quest freigeschaltet/ Entdeckt...)

    Allerdings alles Punkte die in jedem Spiel vorhanden sind. Wobei mir Positiv aufgefallen ist. Durch extrem Kurze Ladezeiten sind Schnellreisen nicht langwierig und zäh. So wie Missionen oft Nah aneinander Liegend, was in kurzen Wegen endet. Man fällt förmlich über Missionen, Nebenaufgaben etc...    … Expand

    Honestly a better Assassin's Creed
    - Huge map with quite a lot of content
    - Combat felt very smooth and alive
    - Story was told very well
    - The environment and music made the game very immersive
    - No micro-transactions
    - You can pet foxes
    - No politics/agenda forced in the game

    Pretty easy GOTY for 2020

This does not go to plan...to be fair the game would be rather short if it did. you find yourself having to build Jins skill set after the battle where he has a decision to make...fight as a samurai and maintain his honour and that of his clan or fight from the shadows as a ghost which goes against everything he was taught. Jin comes to the conclusion that he must win by any and all costs. I'm about 40 hours in so i would say I've already got my moneys worth. there is nothing worse than paying 50 quid and only getting about 23 hours game play out of a game. especially if it doesn't feel re playable. this game has options where you can make different builds for Jin meaning a few new playthroughs are on the cards. well done sucker punch. would have liked them to make it easier to scabbard your sword though. i give this game a 9 out of ten for visuals, story telling, things to do as well. cant give it a ten as there is no such thing as a perfect game. one last thing to games journos (whatever that job entails). moaning about cultural appropriation. this game is about story telling as most are. the fact that Japanese critics love this game shows the rest of you in wait for it...America (yes we all knew that was coming) as hacks who cant appreciate anything beautiful. I'm surprised they didn't bemoan the mongols for their colonialism and use of the slave trade...maybe they didn't care...maybe they aren't that educated while doing social studies degrees. who knows eh?… Expand

As you progress through the main story, the AI becomes much smarter and stronger which forces you to upgrade you skills, armor and weapon. The combat in this game is unique. It’s neither hard nor easy, but you have to master the techniques to face every type of enemy. The side missions aren’t boring at all because they extend from the main story.

Ghost Of Tsushima starts out strong, immediately putting you in the thick of battle, giving you a quick rundown of what the controls do, which is something that I appreciate when a game doesn’t hold your hand, especially with long, boring tutorials, and that is shown a bit later in the game when you actually get to do their tutorial, which they make enjoyable by creating a beautiful scenery and giving you a bit of story and lore about your character, Jin Sakai. I haven’t found the story to be anything incredibly special, however it does its job well at achieving what it wants to portray — a samurai warrior having to adapt to his enemy in order to survive and reclaim his home, even if it means going back on his code of honor.
    Leaving the story aside, the game looks and sounds absolutely fantastic. It was the first game where I felt compelled to put down questing and just go into photo mode(which is incredibly detailed and favours exploration) to take screenshots every 10 minutes or so. Yes, the game has that many distinct, beautiful locations. You will never get bored of exploring in this game. The ambient sounds are beautifully done, as well as the combat sounds. It truly does its job in immersing you in the game. Of course, it has its flaws, nothing is perfect, and while it didn’t really bother me, the main protagonist might sound a bit dull at times, somewhat like a Connor from AC3, while the rest of the voice actors seem to do their job pretty well. You have a lot more emotion from the japanese main character’s voice actor, however the lip syncing is made for the English version, so that might throw you off.
    Moving on to gameplay and animations, this game delivers as well, albeit with some flaws. Exploring is a big part of this game, so the controls really aid you here as they feel smooth and well polished. The combat is very well done and tons of fun, and really delivers at making you feel like a badass samurai. However, I’ve found the difficulty curve to stop evolving as you learn the enemy moveset and different stances and earn some upgrades. In Act 1, at least I felt the need to crank the difficulty to hard as I was able to just fight 10 people at once if I used everything in my arsenal. By Act 2, new enemy types were introduced, which meant I had to learn new moves again, which made the game challenging again, but then, same story. Not a bad thing by any means, as this only proves the game rewards exploration and learning mechanics. The downside to the combat is the camera work and the lack of a “lock on” type of feature, sometimes the camera will zoom in too much if you’re in a tight spot and you won’t see enemies properly, or when sneaking into tight spaces it might set you off. Animation wise, the game does a decent job, with some animations clipping through objects, such as when walking in different terrain types. Also, I’ve noticed that, when riding/walking through bamboo forests you just clip through every tree. I’m not sure if this was done on purpose to sort of trick the player when riding on a horse that he managed to squeeze through a narrow gap, or it’s just a bug.
    One final thing that I will talk about that stood out to me is the attention to detail. The fact that you have no HUD apart from your Health and Resolve while in combat means you have to have enough detail for the player to be able to catch on to certain things, and the game does just that. They even do that with your character’s “special moves”, those are like your abilities in AC Odyssey, if you will. Except, you don’t just unlock them and slot them in and then you use them. The game goes even further and basically gives you a quest, which involves you searching for certain things, and it always culminates with a badass duel or epic fight where your characters acquires said ability. This really caught my attention and I enjoyed it tremendously, since it helps immerse you even more.
    All in all this game is worth every penny, and the developers did an amazing job at creating a samurai open world game where you can really see the beauty of Tsushima island and feel like you’re part of its background. While having a few oddities in terms of camera and animations, there’s a lot of other positives that make this game truly special, and even if you’re not a fan of japanese culture this game will reel you in and you’ll learn on the go.    … Expand

    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.
