    I spend more time taking pictures than playing the game. That should tell you just how beautiful this game is! Perhaps the most gorgeous game I've ever played! Deserves all the praise it can get! Simply go buy it!

    A masterpiece. Sucker Punch has turned quests that we're all tired of from other open-world games into actual storylines in the form of tales. What you do in Ghost of Tsushima's world doesn't feel like chores. Sucker Punch knows how to make games that are fun. Ghost of Tsushima is fun. Period.

    If this is your first foray into Sucker Punch games, it is highly recommended you try their Infamous franchise. Even the first Infamous still holds up in spite being a console generation old.

    This studio is very good with small details that reduce player fatigue i.e. removing animation for item pickup (I can tell games that will follow might copy this...remember Horizon? I love that game, gave it a 10, but picking up items was a drag) to more granular details like enemy AI looking back at a fallen comrade you just killed! Ungh just so good, Sucker Punch! Your attention to detail is delicious.

    Also, very smart use of budget. We all know facial animation is expensive to pull off, and so Sucker Punch pulled the camera back and highlighted the environment whilst exposition drawled. From a business standpoint, that is a good solution to budget constraints whilst keeping with the theme of Japanese cinema where most expositions and dialogue are surrounded by a sprawling environment.

    We love you, Sucker Punch. You make us proud.    … Expand

    This is how you release a game last of us 2 was flipping garbage and mis written. This game is amazing I like to change camera filters for each combat to see how each looks. My fave is the one that makes me feel like I'm watching an old Japanese samurai film.

    Great Game, the map is huge and rich of details. The HDR, Color Scheme and Art make the game Legendary. You need to play to understand it.

    This is the best game I’ve played in a long time. It shows us that games don’t always need to LOOK perfect in order to BE perfect. There are some things that could have been better, but only small details that don’t take away any pleasure or immersion you get from the game.

It shows us that games don’t always need to LOOK perfect in order to BE perfect. There are some things that could have been better, but only small details that don’t take away any pleasure or immersion you get from the game. Knowing that Suckerpunch isn’t a developer like for example Ubisoft, with tons of money to invest into their game (without actually doing it lol) I can forgive them for the few glitches or other minor flaws the game has. This story and gameplay just reminds me so much of what games used to be like. FUN. Without an agenda, without doing what “should be done”
    Sure this gameplay has become “old” to some critics. But I love it.
    For example how they handled the jump system in this game. It actually feels dangerous because you have to aim carefully where you want to go. Instead of pressing one button that takes you anywhere without dying. This makes it less cinematic, than AC’s freerunning system for example. But are looks really everything?
    It reminds me so much of infamous, but with falling damage. I do wish it actually had more of the infamous freerunning to it. But with falling damage of course. That just makes it feel more dangerous and you don’t press one button all the time like you don’t have a brain. I have played tons of games like this (Assassin’s creed) that were boring af. Same old side quests, same old “climb tower-leap of faith” BS
    Somehow Ghost of Tsushima is intriguing, and it had everything to do with the story and how they filled the map with sidequests that are fun and innovative. Suckerpunch has never disappointed me with the Sly Cooper or Infamous franchises. Even though they added diversity to their cast, with both female and non-white characters. (Infamous)
    It never felt forced (like in TLOU2) I hope they continue to create games like this that look and play gorgeous! Would love to see Suckerpunch up there with the big companies. Insomniac did it so why not?    … Expand

    Deserves a higher critic score for sure. I think most has been said about the game, It’s not fair to compare to the 5 year old Witcher 3 but great horse controls and no sword degradation/micro management are huge quality of life improvements.

    Beautiful open world where you can enjoy without any UI distraction (out of combat). Minimal UI during combat. Combats are fun and upgrading skills is so appealing because they are so cool! You are a hero in this game and it makes you feel good. Interesting details all over the place.

    This game makes you feel like a 13th century samurai. While not 100 percent pure and accurate to history it is by far the best samurai game to ever grace the video game genre. Think RDR2 but samurai. Perfect on nearly every level.

    Es asi y no como en the ñast of us con tanta inclusión y progres por todos los lados como se debe hacer una historia!

    Evidentemente la prensa Española q está completamente idiotizada por estos colectivos tan fascistas que dictan como tiene q ser y pensar todo el mundo no le dan la nota que se merece, digamos que para ellos esta bien pero no se falta mas agenda politica y más inclusión, y por supuesto, no pueden entender el sentimiento de pertenencia y de patriotismo de los japoneses ya que aquí casi se avergüenzan estos colectivos de que en su dni pongan que son españoles!!

    Me alegro de que no todas las compañías de videojuegos se dejen manipular y estropear sus obras por los movimientos manipulados por el Delincuente de SOROS!

    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.
