    Apart from the stealth A.I everything about this game is remarkable. This exclusive is a fitting end to the ps4 era.

Dont trust me?? Just search on youtube about user review of GoT and review bombing by Tlou2 fans. There are videos with proof showing why it is review bombed.

    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

    This game is just so much fun. It takes elements of rdr2, horizon zero dawn, and the infamous serious. It obviously puts its own flair on it by being a beautiful samurai story. This game is amazing and I’ve loved every second I’ve spent playing it

    amazing graphics, music and fighting. Poor choice for the camera control during fights but think they wanted to keep the cinematic part of the game.
    tradition, honor, respect, love for your country, fight against foreigners, there is all and it is amazing.

    This is one of the best game, since Skyrim (in my opinion). I have played a lot of story focused games but never in my life none of the games had ever hit my feelings spot, but this game did. In one particular quest hit me really hard and I cried at the end of the quest, because the character reminded me of someone in my life. So this game just became personal to me.

    The game is amazing. Certainly, it is not a 10/10 masterpiece, but it is still a REALLY good game. Even though the dialogs feel sort of "wacky" sometimes, the overall storyline is great. The fighting is well-done, open world is not necessarily full of encounters, but it is clearly not empty.

    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

These are very rarely the simple go fetch quests but rather tie into the story itself of what is going on the island. The main story is interesting much like the main character Jin. I do not intent to go into spoilers but Jin to me was interesting to play with. There are some very cool game mechanics as there is no HUD in this game. So the wind guides you to the locations you marked or the next quest, little golden birds show you secret spots on the map (such as bamboo holders, quest givers, hot baths, haiku spots) and foxes guide you to shrines that you can honor for rewards. Fighting feels intens and very rewarding when you pull off chain kill streaks and badass combo's. At first the sheer amount of stances, combo options and secondary weapon options may seem overwhelming however i found that it quickly becomes very easy to use and as required change it during combat. The attention for detail is insane. lastly there is no shop, loot boxes no cosmetic packs you can buy. All is truly in the game and can be obtained by playing the game. This game really let me feel like a 13th century samurai. It is well worth the money.… Expand

    This game is absolutely amazing. The amount of detail in everything is stunning. There's a few issues that irk me like the camera and no lock on system at all in combat and the boats in the ocean not moving when your far up and see tons of boats far out in the distance. Other than that to sum it up this game is a 10/10 in my book. I haven't played a game this good in a long long time.

    I am about 15+ hours into the game since Friday evening, and I am enjoying every minute of it. There are a few faults here and there, but ultimately this is one of the last AAA titles to allow it's player to be a participant in the story instead of an audience member to an interactive movie and so I want to encourage more of these types of games going into the next console generation.I am about 15+ hours into the game since Friday evening, and I am enjoying every minute of it. There are a few faults here and there, but ultimately this is one of the last AAA titles to allow it's player to be a participant in the story instead of an audience member to an interactive movie and so I want to encourage more of these types of games going into the next console generation.

    The game rewards your exploration, it challenges you with enemies who can easily best you if you let them flank or surround you, and the upgrade system of weaponry and gear isn't as linear as most games. Instead of numeric values increasing so that you can chase mediocrity against spongier enemies, many qualities of a weapon such as attack speed and stealth detection are also enhanced at the same time. Although this game doesn't go full RPG, I kind of wish more open world RPGs would consolidate their perk system into their blacksmithing the way Sucker Punch has with Ghost of Tsushima.

    For instance, rolling up to a Mongol-Invaded Territory in full Samurai Clan Gear and calling out their boys for a stand off feels so authentic. I am built not only to have a healthy amount of HP but also gain skill points when I take damage (which can be applied toward healing surges OR amazing attacks to even the playing field). Combine this with some charms that award me health upon the slaying of an enemy and some extra damage when I fall below 50% health and I am more than confident to call attention to half a dozen invading forces and dismantle them honorably. The flipside of this is the Ronin Robes, which lower the rate at which enemies detect me and then give me a generous boost to my melee damage. This way I can quickly go about the same settlement and tear apart as many of their numbers as I can before I have to go loud. And then, with some careful posturing and creative applications of my tool kit I can strike down some formidable enemy types before they have the opportunity to eliminate me in a couple strokes. The risk-reward is very real and I am a veritable glass cannon, but it's a completely different approach than I would have as an honorable Samurai.

    As I understand it, there are still a few more armor sets to unlock as well. So I am very eager to get back to the game and see what else it has to offer!

    I highly recommend this game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Love the photo mode, the open world's amazing as well. Getting to change weather with flute, composing poems were great. The outpost liberating is very repititive though and could have been less as well as the fox dens. The first few times it was fun following it but you get annoyed when you have to follow a fox for 50 times and liberate 50 outpost.Supplies really didn't make sense the upgrading weapons and armour section felt weak as it's just getting supplies and a few other stuffs they should have added more individual materials. Story wise it was great and wasn't predictable like most other games felt really betrayed wat ACT 1 ending. Combat wise the duels are really fun but my favourite are always standoffs. Fills up the resolve which was a great touch. I didn't like the stealth mode though no honour in that xD… 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.
