    Outside of some small issues like not being able to lock onto enemies in combat, this game is superb in what it does. The combat is satisfying, the stealth is fun but failing it isn't punishing.

    I wanna start with the fact that the game is gorgeous, It's absolutely stunning and not because of the good graphics but because of the aesthetic and style and I've stopped numerous times just to look around and watch the beautiful imagery.

The gameplay and the leveling system is amazing. Instead of level gating like the new AC games, it does in a more subtle way. instead of enemies having more health and more damage the bigger the number above their head is. it's clear if you go to an area that's meant to be seen later on in the game but nothing files forced with all these numbers. the gameplay is really cool and the way that you unlock the stances is really well done but I must say that the stealth mechanics are absolutely unnecessary and really simple and honestly not even fun. the story is not that great, it filled really simple and uninteresting and I didn't particularly like jin as a protagonist and the fact that even if you kill in a dishonorable way only the guys in the first Yuna mission you will be called the ghost and everybody will act like you are not fighting honorably throughout the game. the quests are not bad they follow a somewhat similar structure but I can apostate that the game is not filled with fetch quests and that the sidequests are really interesting.… Expand

    The only issue i have is the camera and no way to order my allies to say stay or follow or hide or run away from danger
    I needed to reset sometimes because of problematic ally ai
    Another i see is, i seem to lose my ammo even if i do not remember using them, it happens whenever i fast travel or other cutscenes like haiku, bamboo cutting and onsen Please fix
    Add a new game plus as well

    So that is my fair criticism sbout it

    Nioh and Breath of the Wild had a baby. It’s name is Ghost of Tsushima. The most immersive world I have every walked through. Combat is complex if you put in the time and take advantage of all it offers. Not the hardest and the ai could be better.

    Game is wonderfully refreshing.
    Another open world yet it uses unique ways to direct you around the world without icons being all over the screen.
    Visually stunning.
    Combat really makes you feel like a samurai.
    Music is wonderful.

    This is must play for everyone on PS4

    What a way to close out the era of the PS4.

    9/10 because no game is perfect.

    I have put in 30 hours so far and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Mechanics are fluid with minor hiccups that can break the moment at times and yet the encounters are satisfing none the less. Story is engaging for where I am at currently. Sucker Punch deserves the praises it has received. Hopefully this game turns into a series.

    Not a fan of open world games because I find them to be too unfocused but this game is an exception. It is so easy to jump in and out of side quests while maintaining the main story that it doesn't get boring. The combat is great. Only gripe is that the camera is not perfect. I find Jin will sometimes not attack the target I want but this has never taken me out of the fun.

Music and sounds are just as high quality as the visuals. Resource collection is actually not a pain in the you know what and doesn't drag the game down.

The visuals of this game are breathtaking, I've found myself stopping myself mid-quest to take pictures with the in-game photo-mode. And I NEVER use photo-mode, that's how beautiful this game is! The combat is fluid, swift, and brutal. You are given a variety of sword stances and tools at your disposal suited for any situation; which is further complemented by a skill tree that progresses at the perfect pace, making you feel like you're always improving. The story itself is gripping but can be overly serious at times. I would've liked some more comedic relief but I understand why there isn't, since the game takes place in feudal Japan as Mongolian's take over Tsushima. Lastly, the game handles Japan's culture with respect and sensitivity. I have no clue what some people are complaining about! This isn't "cultural appropriation", it's CULTURAL APPRECIATION! That said, I highly recommend buying this game before this console generation ends!… Expand

The story, graphics, gameplay is all done so well! Don’t listen to the haters that never played this. Guarantee most anyone who plays it for a couple hours will be hooked.

Ghost of Tsushima is easily one of the most visually impressive games I have ever played. I am still in the first act, but I have been taking my time with the story so that I can explore and see what the island has to offer.

    The exploration system is unique. The idea that you improve your character by soaking in hot springs or chopping bamboo is a really immersive way to level up your character. I love the way the game shows immense respect for Japanese culture and way of life.

    The lack of HUD is great for immersion. The combat does take a bit of time to learn, especially parrying. I would say the parry system is fine. When it works, it feels great. It isn't better than the parry system in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The voice acting is very good. I wish that there was a lock-on feature.

    The customization is very vivid and expansive. Can't wait to unlock more items. Like the lack of carry weight limit for your materials.

    I'd say that my only complaint so far, is that the enemies can be very stupid when they are chasing/looking for you. Especially if you have items that boost your detection speed.

    So far, this game looks like it has high potential to be one of my favorite PS exclusives    … 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.
