    The game is gorgeous. The scenery is lush and the lighting is amazing. There are going to be a good number of people who are going to spend hours in photo more. The sword play is good and learning new stances allows for some variability. It's certainly worth a play. It feels like a proper send off for the PS4.

    Okay, I thought The Last of Us 2 had the best graphics on the PS4, Well I was totally wrong. Ghost of Tsushima is an amazing game that has such a great visual fidelity that I am baffled that a game can look this good on such an old console.

    The gameplay is enjoyable but I have some gripes, such as weird npc actions that is typical in this type of open world. Combat is fun enough but not my favorite. Some of the abilites that you can unlock feels like moves you should have unlocked from the start but overall gameplay keeps you engaged.

    The story is a bit traditional with average characters. Probably the weakest point at the moment, and from how much I played hasn't changed yet.

    The sound design is top notch. The sound of thunder and the wind blowing around you is very spot on. Voice actors are well acted in both Japanese and English. No real negatives in this category.

    Graphically, this game is quite amazing. There was only a few times where I looked at a scene in gaming and was excited, Final Fantasy Remake when you enter Sector 7 slums, Dark Souls 3 after you leave the catacombs, and then the majority of time in this game. Granted I did put The Last of Us 2 as the pinnacle of graphic on the ps4, but nothing about its graphics really screams at me to be in awe, as The Last of Us 2 is portrayed to be realistic, but if I wanted realistic I would just walk outside. Ghost of Tsushima is a game that blends realism with professional photography together. There is a reason why professional photography looks as good as it does, because they understand how to fix the lighting and color to be satisfying for the human eye. Ghost of Tsushima does that for basically the whole game. The graphics do have some faults however. Some animation such as weird lip syncs especially in Japanese and animation bugs pulls you out of it but the game pulls you back in with everything else once again.

    Overall this game is quite the achievement. If you love samurais and amazing graphics this is for you. The game is held back by average story and some some gameplay and graphic problems but As one of the last 1 party games on the ps4 I think this worth playing.    … Expand

    Seems beautiful and very easy to get into the open world element in the stylish sword play may make the world seem to much like the worst part of assassin's creed, but the twist of the japanise Ronin like adventure seems very innovative as it was only experimented with the star wars croma.

    I have not played a game this religiously since Persona 5, and bloodborne, absolute little belter of a game, if 40+ hours of hackin and slashin is what you call little

    my only gripe is the camera controls they can be a real pain in the arse but its a small issue when the content is so stella

    Overall the game is really good, the graphics, story, mechanics, attention to detail and gameplay is some of the best I’ve ever played. There is so much to do on this game away from the main story and I couldn’t not Ben happier with that.

There is also no waypoints in the game which is awesome you just let the wind guide you to the destination. The developers made good use of the touch pad which we haven’t seen much of with the PS4 and I congratulate them for their creativity. At times the combat was kinda clunky but nothing really it flowed really well. Sometimes in enemy bases it was unclear where to go and the little wind icon would’ve been very handy to help navigate your way around. I’m keeping this short as there isn’t really anything bad to say. The game looks amazing and is amazing from start to finish, it’s kind of like a modern day Skyrim but in its own way. Overall really good I enjoyed every second and would recommend to anyone. 9.5/10

    Beautiful environments, fluid combat system, historically accurate content. Ghost of Tsushima delivers a much needed update to the genre. The stealth system does need a little work and the graphics could be a bit more polished. However the promise of making you feel like a Samurai checks every box. All in all this is a great game that many lovers of Japanese lore and this time period will enjoy.

    An easy game to review. I enjoyed the combat. Story, world and gameplay. Something of note: Interesting skill tree. Quick load. Soundtrack and 3D audio. Interesting artistic choices.
    Downside: side story NPC lack of animation. Overall I think suckerpunch almost achieved what they were after.

    I have played the most fun open-ended Japanese period drama game in my life. It is perfectly presented and boldly challenged the Kamakura era in Japan, which is the least described. Although the game does not correspond to historical facts, it is still a great game.

    Spectacular game! Everything you need to be taken to feudal Japan is in this game. However, it will get repetitive. I had to change difficulty to hard cause I dominated the game very fast. I platinumed the game but it is so repetitive that I can't stand having a second playthrough, at least not in the short term.

    El juego es exelente, la historia es sencilla pero embolvente. Ya necesitabamos un juego con esta tematica y poco ecplorada en los videojuegos es increible. Esperemos sigan explorando esta tematiga y no arruinarla con toques fantasticos inecesarios.

The character movement is solid, Stealth, looting, climbing it all works. The world is breathtaking and story is everything you’d want from this era and genre.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would have to say that this game is just a beautiful in story telling, character development, and just the sheer beauty of this open world. I think that the main thing I appreciated the most though was the environment and the graphics for a console that has been out for a long time. I also enjoyed the whole combat scene. Although I'm not a big fan of the whole parry combat thing, i must say it is hard at first but eventually you’ll get the hanged of it and becomes a little boring/repetitive but its fine. The reason why it is fine is due to the story and the sheer amount of side missions/quests. Another thing that I really loved was the character development in the story. Jin in my opinion was my favorite character because you get to see him grow into this boy into a lord but sadly losing it and being a outlaw. Another thing about all the characters, is that all the characters were unique in there own way and not one character that was in the game felt like a boring character and wasn’t just a burden if that makes any sense. I also liked how you can enter into a base and choose how you want to handle this base like being stealthy or going all in. I found myself just riding around and taking my time with the game and never felt like I wasted my time. I also liked how you can learn new techniques as your legend continues to grow. However, one thing that I disliked is the camera. The camera for me was kinda janky if that makes sense and there was some bugs here and there but it is a VERY VERY small issue and isn’t that big of a deal. The message of the story was I guess you can say Revenge because Jin is trying to kill the mongols that took his land and killed his people but i’m just guessing and have no idea what the message in the story is. The ending in my opinion was very good and I like how the game gives you a option on to kill your uncle or let him live to which gives you some replay ability. Another thing I appreciate is how there isn’t any agenda like some other game that people like to compare this game to. Now i don’t have a problem with any SJW or anything of that sort but it just doesn’t belong in video games, and i think people forget what video games are suppose to be. A fun game where you can take your mind off of real world issues and just enjoy yourself. I hate how people like to compare this to The Last Of Us 2 to which I understand if you wanna compare the 2 games in the stories/characters and the characters development but other than that, its just unnecessary or immature. This is however a great game and is a great final exclusive for this console generation and is a great game for 2020 because MAN....did we need something fun and enjoyable this year of video games especially after The Last Of Us 2 came out.… 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.
