    It has a wonky camera, no enemy lock on and no 1-10 controller cam sensitivity settings, which is egregious, and too many in and out cut scenes that take away the fluidity of the game, but the landscapes are great and the combat is fun.

The game needs more polish and hopefully feedback and future patches/updates fix or improve the game but its still a good game    … Expand

    I really enjoyed GoT.

    An absolutely stunning looking game, that feeling like the Witcher 3 set in Japan.

    The combat is really fun, but not quite Dark Souls/Sekrio/Bloodborne level.

    Every time I put this game down, I just get excited about playing again.

    Putting aside the virtues of Ghost of Tsushima everybody recognizes, this game story and characters are way better than advertised and, most importantly, it's a BLAST to play.

    - Combat is very satisfying, with responsive mechanics and the more styles you unlock the better it gets.
    - Story is very well written, at least the main campaign.

    Cons: - Enemy AI kinda sucks, the dumb kind of enemy. Not game breaking, but sure could use a patch.
    - Stealth is fun, but kinda basic, if you are in this for it, you will probably get a bit frustrated.
    - Side quests are very basic, not the repetitive kinda, but there's not much dept, its a far cry from The Witcher, for example. But the mythical quest are very good.

    To be honest, the review would be a solid 9, but since i liked i will be giving it a 10.    … Expand

    Jin's conflict itself is very interesting and a great base for a video game. It is one that allows us to explore, from a historical perspective, to what extent war puts us in an extreme situation in which we have to sacrifice our ideals. And if the sacrifice of those ideals turns us into another person, in the process. The premise is good and the game seeks to make you participate in this duality.

    Sidequests on par with The Witcher 3, a world as beautiful and immersive as RDR2, combat as engaging and satisfying as Sekiro (and very much it's own thing). Fantastic soundtrack, deep reverence towards Japanese culture/traditions, the best photo mode ever and so much more, Ghost is a strong contender for my favourite PS4 game ever!

    Ghosts of Tsushima takes the open world formula and fuses it with Feudal Japan to create an experience that is familiar, and yet still evocative. The combat is tight, involving quick reflexes, and a defensive over offensive mentality. The presentation is top notch, offering various ways to play, as well as many audio and video options.

Despite the aging hardware of the PS4 architecture, Ghosts is an absolutely gorgeous game visually, and the exploration and photo mode alone will keep you distracted for hours on end.

I almost feel lost in the open world and when I set a waypoint to ride to a mission, I spend the next 40 minutes just riding around and exploring, completely forgetting about what I actually wanted to do from the beginning.

    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.
