    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a great game with amazing visuals.The combat can be a bit tedious at the beginning till you defeat more leaders and gain more experience. The ninja/ghost weapons have a wide range of uses and the leveling is constant. The side quest/events become tedious till you feel the results in combat e.g higher health or more resolve. I love the collectibles learning about the Mongols through artifacts or trying to find more cosmetics to get that cool looking sword. The Music and the cutscenes are phenomenal.… Expand

    Beautiful beyond belief. Open world feels alive and vibrant. Just being curious and exploring stuff on ur way to a destination is super. The combat really opens up as you go and you can decide on your playstyles path early on.

    Great game only thing I thought was off was way camera angles we're off. I think I would have rated 10 if it cam angles were bit more like Assassin's Creed Odyssey

    Graphics are stunning some of the best graphics I saw in a game. The gameplay is also great, fighting stances are a really good idea. Story line so far has been great also. One of the best games I have played.

    The game is ok. iI like it. Combat is a little sloppy but still fun! Visuals are amazing. I have some gripes with the open-world part and sidequests, they are a little tedious.

    Ode to Samurai..... Pastiche, Homage, and a love letter to the classical Japanese Samurai film genre. So much fun and immersion. Amazing game. So satisfied unlike how TLOUP2 left me.

    To put it short-- I haven't actually enjoyed an open-world game like this in a long time. With minimal UI, the game allows you to take in all the beauty Sucker Punch put into this game. The Japanese voice acting is incredible and deserves high praise. The game progresses you at just the right pace and gives a variety of styles to play.

    This game is awesome it should be played by everyone! Stunning visuals. There are some complaints lip sync is not great, faces kinda seem like a mass effect Andromeda situation, some random bugs where the enemies get stuck in falling animations.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima is the game we have been waiting years for, and boy was this the best time for it to come out. The ps4 exclusive scene has seen some truly great games, like the game of the year in 2018s Spider-Man. Another exclusive to win game of the year would be The last of us. But this exclusive to close out all PlayStation exclusives would be this perfection of game creation. Never have I seen a more Perfect particle sim, and the bloody combat really reels it all back in. This game should win game of the year this year, but not being politically against TLOU2 but because it truly ldeserves it.… Expand

    16 hours into the game and I loooove it. This is open world done right. The story and the athmosphere reminds me of the old samourai movies I watched beeing a kind.

    This game is a combination of Legend of Zelda BOTW and Sekiro Shadows Die Twice.

(Easily patchable in updates) The graphics in the game are jaw dropping and I find myself taking moments just to appreciate the particle effects and lighting rays in any location. This is a game that is best enjoyed like a fine whiskey. Take your time and sip it, don’t chug it just to get through it. One major flaw I see is the lack of a lock-on mechanic. (something in the vain of a FromSoftware title) I see this game as being a launch title or early release for the PS5 and I’ll definitely be picking it up again. Warning: this game is for those who wish to scratch a Samurai Kurosawa itch that is rare to find.… Expand

    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.
