Missions feel less like redundant chores and more so like episodes in a series. As someone who enjoys Japanese samurai films and reading about this time period in history, this game is captivating and genuinely immersive. There's a definite cinematic aspect to actual combat that's truly unique. Cutting down an enemy, while having the camera slide to view your next opponent, with grass blowing in the wind and lighting to reflect perspective makes this game a work of art.

    Definitely holds it's own, even stands out, with heavyweights of open worlds. Nice to not feel punished for avoiding stealth take downs, and I can't get enough of the standoffs. Will probably never get a genuine Musashi Miyamoto game but I'll take this.

    Would be a 10, unless I've yet to unlock it, but a realistic or increased difficulty for "hard" would have been ideal. Only regret you'll have is not buying it sooner.    … Expand

    I've spent about 20 hours with the game so far, taking my time to do side quests. Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game is absolutely gorgeous. There are times when I simply have to set the controller down and admire the stunning landscapes, be it a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful field of flowers blowing in the breeze or a crimson forest with leaves scattering all around you.

    The    I've spent about 20 hours with the game so far, taking my time to do side quests. Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game is absolutely gorgeous. There are times when I simply have to set the controller down and admire the stunning landscapes, be it a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful field of flowers blowing in the breeze or a crimson forest with leaves scattering all around you.

    The animations are all, for the most part, excellent and the controls are tight and responsive. There are times once the game 'clicks' where you'll perform what seems like a well choreographed scenes straight out of your favorite samurai flicks. The stealth also feels tight and responsive, and enemies once alerted to your presence work in pairs to try and keep you from sneaking up on more of them, and will sound horns to alert nearby mongols to your presence.

    The camera, however, seems to work against you sometimes. On more than one occasion, enemies will attack you from off-screen simply because the camera does a poor job of facing enemies. A lock-on or ability to quickly refocus the camera may have alleviated this somewhat, though the issue does not come up enough to be a serious downside. It functions most of the time, but it's notable when it doesn't.

    The voice acting has been wonderful, so far and the characters have all been likable, even if somewhat dower (though considering the circumstances of the game, this is well understood.) The story is something I will not comment on as of yet, as I've yet to complete it. My impressions so far, after 20 hours, is that it has been enjoyable if somewhat predictable at times; though once you've consumed enough media, anything becomes predictable.

    Overall, this is one of my favorite games of the generation, and I sincerely look forward to Sucker Punch's next title if they give it the same loving attention as they clearly gave Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

    Hands down the best game I've played in 2020! The game is amazing played for 24hrs without sleep, i just can't put my conteoller down, photo mode is awesome, I felt really good playing this game and didn't feel forced to play in any particular way. The map is huge, with fast travel, actual fast travel, (it's really fast) don't know how they pulled this off. Thank you sucker punch

    A beautiful, amazing & most importantly fun game. The gameplay feels smooth, and the action feels breathtaking yet natural. Like watching a Quentin Tarantino samurai movie. I been wanting to play a samurai game for a good while & this just hits it out of the park. I created a an account just to review this game, thats how much i love it. I will be recommending everyone i know about it.

    When I pre-ordered this game, I was expecting Game of the Year contender. Instead, I am left feeling as if this might be my favorite game of all time.

Instead, I am left feeling as if this might be my favorite game of all time. For me, this ranks up there with the recent greats such as The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Skyrim etc, and manages to surpass them all. This game takes all of the best parts of previous games and seamlessly combines them into a masterpiece of a final product. The game runs better than any game I've played in a long time. It has incredible render distance, crisp resolution, rock solid stable fps, and maybe the best lighting and visual effects I have ever witnessed in a video game.

    As for the gameplay, picture a stealth combat system that is reminiscent of Assasin's creed 2.0, with a combat system that is about 10x better and more rewarding than any similar franchise has ever mustered up before. If stealth isn't your thing, simply walk up to the front gates of an enemy encampment and put your dodging/parrying skills to the test to win the fight like a true Samurai; not like some "coward who strikes from the shadows." The game also features brutal and gorey finishers that will result in dismembered limbs and blood hurling in every direction. Buy the damn game. If you want to 100% complete everything, you're looking at a 50-60 hour experience most likely. This is one that will be talked about for years, so you wouldn't want to miss it.    … Expand

    Uhh, very cool game. The story of Japan, its atmosphere ... it just delights me. Huh, you could say I'm just obsessed with that. I really like Japan.
    In short: you won't regret buying this game. And if you, like me, are a fan of such an atmosphere, history ... and samurai ... then I think you will like it as much as I do.

    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.

    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.

    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.
