    Just a fun game to get lost in. The story is good but not great. The combat is incredibly fun and there’s so many side missions but they’re all fun to do!

    Ghost of Tsushima is, in a word, ‘fun’. The gameplay loop of riding your horse through beautifully breathtaking environments and taking down group after group of enemy never gets boring, through the 40+ hours of content (including side missions). The combat in this game cannot be oversold. It is the best combat I have played in a game ever, which is not something I say lightly. Using Jin’sGhost of Tsushima is, in a word, ‘fun’.

The combat in this game cannot be oversold. It is the best combat I have played in a game ever, which is not something I say lightly. Using Jin’s katana is extremely satisfying and the cosmetic upgrades truly makes it feel like it’s yours. The combat progression, throughout the game, is paced masterfully, which never allows the combat to get repetitive and constantly gives you new ways to defeat your foes.

    However, where the game falls short in my opinion is it’s characters and robot-like NPCs. The characters in this game (aside from Jin and a select few) are boring and all the same. They all address Jin in the same way for example, have poor lip syncing animations and always ask for help regarding the same things, such as ‘save my daughter’ or ‘there are enemies at this location’ etc etc. Doing missions for these repetitive drones gets dull quick, but is however an excuse to kill more bad guys with the fantastic combat, so there is a silver lining. In terms of narrative and writing the game is good enough. The story keeps you motivated enough to keep going but don’t expect a gripping story similar to the likes of a naughty dog narrative (pre-Last of us 2). The writing is also just that ‘good enough’, with characters who feel somewhat real but lack any significant arcs or interesting back story. Overall, Ghost of Tsushima is an amazing game, with its full price, and worth of a play through as soon as you can manage. The combat is nothing short of satisfying, fun and engaging, with a very playable story and decent characters. The game deserves the praise it’s been getting, but of course that is just my opinion.    … Expand

On the day it was released I accidentally played for over 24 hours straight it is so easy to just get pulled in and lost from just exploring the world around you to liberating your fellow countrymen the real world just seemed to melt away. Now upgrading equipment takes a lot of resources so that means farming resources but unlike that of Assassin's Creed which made grinding very dull this game makes enjoyable it does not feel like a grind since there are so many places to visit and see and alot of bases to clear there is also a certain weapon charm that practically doubles most resources collected which helps alot. In all of my total time spent playing the game which as of right now is about 30+ hours I haven't even made it to act 2 yet but I haven't been doing all main missions I don't fast travel or focus on specific things I just have fun playing the game. I haven't been pulled into a game like this in years I don't get bored I look forward to getting on and playing it has so much to offer and the difficulty is brilliant and balanced. I highly recommend this game to everyone and I stress do not rush through it take your time with the game and just take in the development of your characters emotional choices and how his choices really conflict him explore the world around you and have fun.… Expand

    It has a unique, and underused setting, and the art direction makes it the best looking game of this generation.

The grass and leaves and wind give a movement and life to every moment which has not been seen before on playstation. The acting and facial animations are done well and the antagonists are interesting.
    The music is masterfully done, with some iconic pieces along with some really pleasant background music.
    The open world gameplay, a much loved genre, has been improved on in almost everyway. A cinematic and compelling main story, is supplemented with interesting and diverse side missions. On top of that, the open world staple 'copy and paste' missions, have nice gimics e.g. the fox, and are varied enough for them to soften any 'grind' these missions usually have.
    The combat is challenging and detailed, mixing assassins creed style stealth, with God of War level fights. Any fan of Tenchu will undoubtedly want to play this, and anybody who wants to feel like a strong hero can't go wrong with this game (even while retaining the challenging gameplay).
    This is a wonderful game, which has set the bar higher for open world games. Not only is it great, but the fact his is the new gold standard means I cannot help but give this game a 10/10. I look forward to playing Ghosts of Tsushima on the PS5, and also the sequels, which I hope will be made for decades to come.    … Expand

    Gráficamente impresionante y en un principio muy anganchante, desafortunadamente después de varias horas se vuelve monótono y cansado, lo que te mantiene jugandolo después de 15 hrs es su historia, pero falla en muchos aspectos como por ejemplo la dificultad ya que no ofrece un mayor reto y las físicas las cuales debieron ser mejores ya que prácticamente no podrás derribar ni un bambú.

    The gameworld is beautiful, stunning, graphics and animations are good, combat is fun and they found a middle way, not too simple, not too complicated. I love the stories within the game, love the progression and upgrade system. It's the most fun i had with a game in a while. It's a solid 9 for me. It's a better Assassins Creed, if you want, for me at least.

    As a person who loves medieval Japan I am having a blast, I love the story. The scenario, and the beauty plus the story makes you forget the classic open world repetitive stuff. I am super immersed, there is the presence of diversity although it does not feel forced. Id say a near perfect game

    The voice acting is very good it brings the atmosphere of a samurai movie to the game and you can choose both English and Japanese voices.

    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.
