    La perfezione non esiste ma il coinvolgimento che offre é totale oltre che ad essere una gioia per gli occhi. É stato capace di emozionarmi come pochi altri giochi hanno saputo fare. Pieno punteggio meritato e se poi volessero aggiungere anche la nuova partita + sarebbe il massimo.

The graphics are simply amazing. I'm not just talking about the character models and the animations of them moving but even the dynamic weather and the grass fluttering in the wind is amazing. The main missions are very emotional at times, but can get repetitive, but they definitely change the tone of the story as you go along. The side missions can get repetitive and boring at times but they have a variety of different types of side missions. My favorite is when you get to do side missions focused on supporting characters that help you in your journey. It adds a lot of depth and character development to the side characters. My second favorite type of side missions are mythic quests. There multi part quests there give you special abilities are special armor. It really helps round out the world and give it a cool mythical spin.The combat is challenging but as you unlock skills and get better fighting gets easier. Another great feature is how little non mission side stuff in the world gives you real life bonuses like increases in health and other perks, as well as cosmetic extras that you can use. These perks are significant enough to make you want to explore the whole world and find all these different cool items and perks. They are not just mindless gathering locations where you get a little bit of gold and some items. The progression system of obtaining perk points and the different abilities and you receive are well done and they don't make you grind incessantly to get these perk points. They present you with more than enough side quests and random occurrences to get all the perks mid way through the game.The crafting system is very simplistic so if you want a game with a great, in depth crafting system with dozens of different ingredients you should go elsewhere. To be completely honest I could only find a few things that I did not like about this game. In the first act the main character is very boring and stiff but as his character develops in Acts 2 & 3 with the main story quests he starts to develop into a more complex and compelling character. The stealth is definitely a little off. The AI isn't that smart and you can easily run circles around them with the right armor and perks. Also the controls can be a little unintuitive especially when you have to switch between different weapons and abilities in the heat of battle. After a while you do get used to it. Thirdly, I notice small glitches especially in the open world with random. Sometimes there are spawning issues and odd occurrences but nothing game breaking. For example I notice sometimes they were spawning issues when i tried to take over a location. I would come in and there would be no enemies and they would mysteriously pop up out of nowhere. But do note this has only happens a few times. Finally, the camera angles aren't the best. Especially during combat you have to fight the camera to center it, but you get used to it and it becomes a non issue. All in all this game is very good with some minor issues. Definitely get it.… Expand

    I will admit I had gotten more into Indie games as most big titles kept disappointing me, with the only interesting ones being sequels of already established franchise, such as Doom Eternal or Borderlands 3. Good, but stale after a while. This game though, this is a MUCH needed breath of fresh air. Sure it isn't "innovative" but at this point it's almost impossible to do such, so I feelI will admit I had gotten more into Indie games as most big titles kept disappointing me, with the only interesting ones being sequels of already established franchise, such as Doom Eternal or Borderlands 3.

Sure it isn't "innovative" but at this point it's almost impossible to do such, so I feel that is not a true ding against it.

    Amazing graphics, combat system is solid and feels very rewarding (especially the 1v1 scenario's), and though the story is standard, there is ZERO issue with that if handled well, and I'd say it is more then handled well here with good examination of story themes. Soundtrack is rather epic as well. The main antagonist is also pretty damn cool despite my initial expectations for him, having a more realistic feel while being a total badass. All in all this game has brought me great joy and filled a hole that no indie game could quite fill.    … Expand

    Great story, great side missions, great gameplay, great visuals (like jaw dropping at times). Sucker Punch outdid themselves with this one, go out and buy this piece of digital art, it deserves all the praise!

    This game is an inch perfect beauty. We all knew that already so yeah i'm just gonna praise one of the best character in this game. Sensei Ishikawa, he's a damn annoying old hag, yet he's a typical elder who can keep you down to earth & never stop learning to get his recognition.

    Amazing graphics, great recreation of Tsushima island to go with great world design. The side quests aren't great, but they're a great excuse for combat which you'll never get bored of.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If it wasn't for the lowsy fight response it would be a 10. I do feel that the patch would have to give us a lock on system instead of dumbing down the ai. Also the final battle at the ship is trash now because dumb AI will wait for you to make a move on the part of the plot and story, I did related, enjoyed and even went through the pain of some npc's. I am waiting for anything that this game want to bring, DLC, GOT2, As long as they forget progressive bs and stick to games… Expand

    After putting in over 20 hours of this game, I must say I am impressed. It's like you're in some kind of Japanese painting. The visuals and landscapes are absolutely stunning. The colors are vibrant and everything moves so eloquently. It's an excellent open-world Samurai game.

It's an excellent open-world Samurai game. There are plenty of options when it comes to weapons and abilities, and it's cool to slowly upgrade it all. Jin is somewhat of a dull character, to be honest, and the story could be better. It's easy to get sidetracked with all of the side missions too, so you can quickly become detached from the main story, which is what happened to me. With that being said, it's a little disjointed at times. The combat is the best part about the game. It's unique and satisfying, and keeps you wanting more. Also, it can be unclear on where to go next for certain missions which can be annoying. But ultimately, it's a success and a game Sucker Punch should be proud of.… 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.
