    Top game! Gameplay is excellent, storyline is good, npc interactions are great, graphics are really good. Could be tougher though as even the boss fights are easy on normal mode, particularly if you like roaming around the open world and end up collecting lots of upgrades. That said, thoroughly enjoyable and pretty addictive.

    Doesn't deserve to be at 83. Probably the best game of 2020 (sad it doesn't win the GOTY).

    It's as if you take all the history, samurai culture and beautiful cinematography by Kurosawa or Kobayashi and all you manage to produce is kitsch, shallow and boring superhero thing set in 13th century Japan with a poorly made black and white filter option.

    Seems like Playstation devs keep put doing each other. Absolutely amazing game. Haven't had this much fun in a open world game since skyrim or GTAV. No MTX or DLC, it was finished day one. A must play if you love video games.

While Sucker Punch didn’t really try to make it “historically accurate” there are some surprisingly accurate details contained in the game, which I absolutely love! 10/10 would recommend!!… Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a 50 hour game that would have been better served at 25 hours. Here are some pros and cons of the game:

    -Initially fun gameplay: The game is very fun to play for the first third of the game
    -Innovative guidance for missions: Using the wind to guide the player, birds to follow, and foxes to follow to shrines is truly innovative Cons
    -Weak story: The main plot could have been great, but ultimately doesn't leave a lasting impression.Had this been a 25 to 30 hour game, the story may have had more impact -Repetitive gameplay at the 25 hour mark: While fun at first, the gameplay gets old about halfway through the game and you will find yourself avoiding enemies when possible
    -Weak side missions: Any side mission not involving a main side character is truly forgettable -Length of the game: Hate to hammer this home, but this game would be better served if it were shorter
    -Very Dumb AI, even on hardest difficulty: Enemies will stare at the wall, get stuck on things, shoot each other, and are easy to defeat. Even the generals don't pose much of a challenge.

    Do not let all of the reviews mentioning how much better the game is than TLOU2 impact you as the game will not live up to the hype if you do (this is what happened to me). If you expect a good but not great game, then you will be satisfied with Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

But after like 70 hours into it, I can safely say that this is hands down the best samurai game ever made. Combat is simple (4 stances for 4 different types of enemies. dodge/parry when you need to), but it managed to keep interesting till the end. Story is really unique, probably a rather more interesting story in a video game. Graphics look really good, not because they look "realistic" but because of the art design. It is, again, very unique and special.

    The only thing that is considered to be "bad" to me is that this game uses a old formula established by Assassin’s Creed long ago, which is rather hard to surprise anyone now. However, it is a old Assassin’s Creed done right. This is what Assassin’s Creed should be like, not a **** money grabber that pops up every other year with a more and more sloppy story to go with just to keep the series going. So yeah, it is still a good game in my opinion    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Купил плойку только ради этой игры. Но на деле, она не оправдала ожиданий, к сожалению.
    В итоге, мне показалось, что вся игра - это очень красивая постановка, которой не хватает геймплея. По отдельности, каждый элемент выглядит великолепно, но быстро надоедает.

    Враги слишком однообразны, и по сути, их всего 4 вида монголов (трижды они становятся сильнее по ходу игры, но это всё те же враги), 1 вид соломенных шляп, и один вид монголов в золотых доспехах.

    Все поединки в игре сделаны по одному и тому же принципу, а между боссами слишком мало отличий и уникальных возможностей.

    Сайдеквесты сиииильно уступают основной сюжетной линии. Я прошёл 2 сюжетные ветки из четырех или пяти - и все они весьма так себе. А концовка сюжетной ветке с Томоэ и Исикавой вообще не подлежит здравому смыслу...

    Основной сюжет хорош собой, персонажи колоритны и проработаны. Вот в них есть хоть какое-то разнообразие. Плюс постановка каждого квеста - это какой-то кинематографичный шедевр - я ещё никогда не делал столько скриншотов и скринкастов игры.

    В остальном, нужно было или меньше контента во всей игре, или делать больше разнообразных активностей. При том, что боёвка просто великолепна, возможностей боя просто невероятно много, и они не до конца раскрываются.

    К концу игры мне надоело воевать с одинаковыми врагами и выполнять одинаковые сайдквесты (не истории, а именно сайдквесты). Но если у вас нет задачи пройти и открыть всё, то можно с большим удовольствием сосредоточиться на прохождении основного сюжета и историй компаньонов. Правда, игра в какой-то момент всё равно вынудит вас к гринду уровня.    … Expand

After getting acquainted with the controls and using the right trigger to pick up and interact with objects the game plays superbly. The weapon wheels are implemented well and the changing of stances is easily accomplished mid combat. The plot was surprisingly interesting and the ending was well done. They have since released a multiplayer component which has also been given similar praises to the main game.… 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.
