    One of the best games I've played in a long time! It's great to see Jin go through the struggle of fighting off Mongels, and really coming to terms with becoming the ~ghost~.

    It’s a beautiful game, those who talk bad is because they know nothing about Japanese stories, they connect in a very good way the story of the game and the Japanese movies

    This is the most beautiful game I've ever played. While main mission are average, side quest are the best I've seen in a videogame since The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. Please, do yourself a favor and buy this game right now!

    This is a great game from an excellent company. Ghost Of Tsushima is absolutely stunning visually, has very good combat and the story is absolutely immersive. Music and voice-acting are also top notch.

    I'll keep this short.

    I literally can not put this game down. I have to force myself to quit playing.

    From truly addicting combat to the overall beauty of this crafted world it truly is a masterpiece. It only loses a point for the occasional glitch and stutter. Other than that I recommend you buy it.

    With that said, Ghost of Tsushima is the open world game I didn't know I needed. All the recent Ubisoft titles made Open world games super tiresome for me, the same formulas repeated over and over again.

    Sucker's Punch Ghost of Tsushima completed refreshed the genre. Combat is the strongest point of the game, it has some similar characteristics to the one found in Batman series, Spider-Man (2018) or even older Assassin's Creed titles, but the combat system here is refined at its finest, most of the bossfights (duels) are spectacular, remembering the thrill of From's Souls series, Sekiro in particular.

    Visuals are gorgeous, I was never a fan of photo mode in other games, but in GoT I used it for capturing amazing moments, you'll find yourself staring at the beautiful landscape while exploring.
    Exploration is good thanks to the almost non-existent indicators in the screen, you can remove even more with Expert Mode (which I did). All these factors combined means that you are actually looking at what is happening in the world, not some mini-map (learn Rockstar).

    Side activities are actually interesting, you're always getting something from what you do. The variety of these activities is not really big, but to me it works, because I like doing all of them.

    Sound and soundtrack are amazing, they know the balance of sound and silence. Japanese themed songs are great.

    The weakest point of the game is the campaign story. It's not bad, but at least for now it's bland and from what I've heard, it's just ok. Some people will not like this aspect but I don't bother because when I play open world games like this, the campaign is what I'm least interested at.

    Sucker Punch learned all the wrongs of past open world titles and created one of the best of PS4.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a must PS4 title.

    Ubisoft, here's what you should be doing in your games, just learn.    … Expand

    Sony has done it again! Major props to Sucker Punch who made a perfect realistic Samurai game that gamers have been waiting eagerly and anxiously for since its teaser premier years ago at E3. This is the game we needed after the latest controversial Sony exclusive that had the fanbase devided. 2020 is not over yet but Ghost of Tsushima is thus far my game of the year. It has earned a 10 out of 10!

    Ghost of Tsushima é um jogo mundo aberto, com pitadas de jogos de ação famosos, um furtivo ótimo, arsenal de armas e utilidades realmente úteis e efetivos em combate, te permitindo executar mongóis das mais variadas formas e todas elas sendo esbeltas e mangíficas, com a adição do modo Kurosawa, deixando tudo mais parecido ainda com filmes de samurais antigos. A história principal de JinGhost of Tsushima é um jogo mundo aberto, com pitadas de jogos de ação famosos, um furtivo ótimo, arsenal de armas e utilidades realmente úteis e efetivos em combate, te permitindo executar mongóis das mais variadas formas e todas elas sendo esbeltas e mangíficas, com a adição do modo Kurosawa, deixando tudo mais parecido ainda com filmes de samurais antigos. A história principal de Jin Sakai é sutilmente genêrica, abordado o tema de honra e tradição de um samurai indo de encontro com a necessidade de Jin em largar a tradição e lutar como um fantasma para derrotar os mongóis, já que os mesmos não lutam com honra, Jin não deve fazer o mesmo, e fará de tudo para alcançar a vitória e ajudar o povo de Tsushima a viverem suas vidas normalmente. O jogo é esteticamenre lindo, esbelto e cheio de cenários de encher os olhos, sendo quase impossível passar mais de 5 minutos sem querer abrir o modo foto e fazer uma obra de arte. O jogo peca em algumas expressões faciais pe na sincronia dos movimentos labiais com a dublagem, que no caso é a japonêsa, e obviamente é a melhor, com um elenco dddicado a entregar a melhor experiência possível, com histórias de personagens secundários sendo executada de maneira fenomenal, cada uma com início, meio e fim, com suas motivações e desejos, tudo isso se entrelaçando com a história de Jin. Sem sombra de dúvida um dos melhores jogos já feitos e fácilmente um do meu Top 10.… Expand

    *Spoiler Free* Ghost of Tsushima is the Samurai game we have been waiting for. Combat is fluid, dynamic and a complete blast. The world is stunning, lush and filled with things to explore.

    The voice acting is great and immersive. As is the soundtrack.

    Great fighting. Very atmospheric graphic and music. Story is interesting and open world is big enough to not feel empty. Great characters and acting.
    Some glitches there and there but nothing bad. Historically it isnt accurate but good enough.

    One of the most, if not the most beautiful Playstation exclusives I have ever seen. The Story is captivating, the lore is intriguing. The character development feels difficult, but rewarding. And above all the Story is impossible to put down. 10 out of 10, and cant wait to see this game beat the scores for The Last Of Us part 2.

    Great game and I recommend playing it in Kurosawa mode as it adds alot to the atmosphere, it plays fantastically and the controls feel smooth, the camera is a bit wonky though and I wish I could lock onto targets and this is why I didn't give it a 10/10

    I played abt 10 hrs of this game so far and I have to say the combat sustem is so satisfying and the explorations are incredible. The story antagonist is very charismatic and the graphic designs breathtaking. My only issue is the camera seen funky at times. Great/fun game highly recommend it.

    By far one of the best games I have ever played. The story and the pacing of both main quest and side quest with the sporadic secrets and things to uncover felt better than any other game to date. I never once wanted to put the controller down I always wanted to see what was beyond the next horizon or forestland. Truly a masterpiece.

    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.
