    I the way the game looks is amazing the open world is nice the only thing holding it back is the story it’s straight forward but it’s not bad

    The closest game in which can be compared to this game it the Assassin Creed franchises. (the newer games, Origins / Odyssey) but this game is much much more. I feel more connected with the characters. I dont have a problem with how the game progresses. The map does feel empty in some places but overcomes by the details in the small villages. The combat is something which truly feels good to play. Different stances preform better versus different attackers. One thing that took me a while to understand (playing on Hard) is some attackers were extremely difficult to beat, but the whole game pushes you and tells you Samurai need to have patients and not be hack and slash. Once I learned to slow down and let the mongols attack with their chaotic ways I was able to slow down and beat them.

    Game looks truly amazing (coming from a pc player), Like I was blown away how amazing the game looks. Having to follow the wind instead of using a compass is something different but genius at the same time. My only concern is I truly feel like I am not being a true samurai by being an assassin too.

    Game 9/10... Some bugs with facial expressions / talking. Some emptiness in the map, and some UI bugs when trying to see new sword/armor kits.

    Spend money on this masterpiece.    … Expand

Japanese pop culture's take on their own Samurai history is an often romanticized version depicted by the legendary movies of Akira Kurosawa and Sucker Punch took great note of them to develop Ghost of Tsushima. The game looks good not because of some realistic graphics but the lack of them: a feudal Japanese island covered every inch by overcolored cherry blossom, maple leaves, etc...Needless to say, Ghost of Tsushima doesn't fail to provide us an exotic traditional Japan. While some stealth elements and improvable A.I are quite spot on in the game, it doesn't hamper the overall gameplay as the majority of the player's community would rather just go the Samurai way and cut down enemies with some awesome Katana finishing moves instead sneaking around like a creep trying to catch some dumb A.I by surprise.… Expand

    Es un gran Juego, posee un fiel recreación del Japón feudal. Los NPC no son genéricos, gran variedad en combate, creo que falta un poco más de expresión en los rostros y una que otra misión secundaria repetitiva. Pero en general es una Joya que debe tenerse, excelente trabajo de sucker punch.

    I do however wish you were able to lock on to targets during combat. The camera can sometimes be a bit wonky. Worth picking up. Easy GOTY contender.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You just have to play this with a good headset if you have one. The audio is mind-blowing.

    I originally had no intention of buying this game at release. After watching some reviews by people I trust and respect, I was convinced otherwise. Initially I was super skeptical but upon playing the first 3 hours I'm completely blown away.

    I won't go into graphical quality since I'm sure there are many other reviews that will say what I already think - it's breathtaking. I actually feel like I'm immersed in the world when I have the headset on and the lights off. I had trouble putting down my controller, I just kept wanting to play more and more. The audio is insanely good too.

    Combat is also awesome. Not perfect, but the little hiccups in the mechanics weren't enough to pull me out of the immersion of feeling like a badass as I killed enemies with grace and deadly precision.

    The one thing about the combat that I absolutely love is that you don't get rewarded for button mashing, but rather you have to carefully plot out your plan of attack otherwise you can be slaughtered when swarmed by enemies. Especially when taking on large groups of them, they WILL swarm you and it's pretty terrifying. I think Sucker Punch did a great job making the combat really diverse and interesting. It really feels like every fight you get into is unique from the last depending on the weapons, stances, or tactics(stealth, standoff, etc) you use.

    And the customization!!! I'm a huge sucker for cosmetics, and it's so fun to collect cosmetics through small quests of following foxes or golden birds, etc.

    One of the few issues I have with the game is it's pretty obvious that they didn't have much time to put into the smaller side quests, and it shows when you talk to the NPCs as the camera shots are far enough away from the character models so that you can't see their faces (probably to save on animation costs) Not a deal breaker for me though. I can't complain though, when they went above and beyond expectations with the meat and bones of the game, I have no beef really.

    The thing I'm probably the most saddened by is that the lip syncing with the Japanese audio. I really wanted to play this in Japanese but the lip syncing just didn't really cut it for me :( but the english version is still awesome! Just not what i had wanted primarily. Who am I to complain!

    Graphical quality is astonishing, audio is simply wondrous, combat is diverse and fun, storyline is great, a few hiccups now and then but overall the game is a real masterpiece.    … Expand

    The game has one of the most enthralling world's I have experienced in videogames for a long time. The combat is great, the soundtrack is mind-blowingly incredible and the story serves to glue all of these parts listed above together to make for a truly beautiful experience.

    The game has its faults in combat with the camera but from my playtime, it's only ever hindered me on a few occasions.

    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.
