    Buenas, MI OPINIÓN del juego , no es una critica en si
    Empiezo por decir que este me parece una maravilla de juego , no hay un momento del juego que se haga pesado o repetitivo, las mecánicas son divertidas, la dificultad es la exacta , dependiendo de que tipo de aventura o reto estés buscando, la historia me parece una genialidad , aparte de que tengo una debilidad por esa cultura y mas    Buenas, MI OPINIÓN del juego , no es una critica en si

    Uma boa narrativa e personagens, com uma ótima trilha sonora. Mundo aberto lindo com missões secundárias muito boas. Combate satisfatório e um excelente sistema de progressão. Tem alguns pequenos bugs, principalmente gráficos, mas nada que atrapalhe a experiência em um dos melhores jogos de mundo aberto da geração.

    A real masterpiece ..! The game is outstanding in terms of both the gameplay and the technical implementation! It is a feast for the eyes! The only point of criticism for me is the replayability. If you play the story 100% and get the platinum trophy, the game has next to no replay value. That is a shame and could have been solved better. Otherwise great game!

    What stands out is the combat gameplay and the colour palette of the visuals, would have been a 10 if the writing was living up to the expectations of the latter two

Всё это есть в игре призрак Цусимы , прощёл игру от начала и до конца получив 95% достижений , игра оставила кучу эмоций как от основного сюжета так и от некоторых дополнительных квестов. Сам главный сюжет не затянут и подан изумительно с глубоким смыслом, понравилось внутренняя борьба с самим собой у главного героя как он в начале игры презирал трусов и тех кто нападает со спины , потом как он меняется и постепенно сам становится одним из тех кого раньше презирал , одним словом если вы ищите необычную игру вам стоит попробовать Призрак Цусимы.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima was easily the best breath of fresh air into gaming in the year 2020.

    From sucker Punch Productions, who we all expected to continue the Infamous series, we actually got what is easily the best Samurai game ever made to date. We've all seen plenty of other Samurai games in the past, or even Samurai like games. I'm sure many would say Tenchu, a game series which was pretty good back in its day, as well as there are many who have a love for The Way of the Samurai games, myself included, even if they are a series of games which are rather rough around the edges, they have a charm to them which keeps fans loyal.

    Ghost of Tsushima is that game which listened to everything that gamers wanted and just delivered it. It is by no means a perfect game, but you can certainly expect a lot. From the first teaser trailer we saw a few years back, we all had an idea of what it would be, but we never expected it to be as well done as it is. From the story, to the combat to the open world exploration and the visuals, there's something to love here.

    Key things to note are open world and exploration here. Ghost of Tsushima is not a game one can easily rush through. I am sure it is possible and we likely have speed runners achieving quick play through times already, but it is a game that is meant to be taken time with and fully enjoyed as much as possible. There's plenty to see and plenty to discover, and almost every bit of the island of Tsushima will have something to offer in the way of a reward for you exploring it, from a new cosmetic, a new secret or just a breath taking view.

    The games visuals are gorgeous. Not the greatest of the generation, that achievement belongs to The Last of Us II, but this game still has an incredibly beautiful world brought to life by the talent of Sucker Punch. To change directions so strongly, going from modern day cities in Infamous to a very historically accurate world of feudal Japan, they've more than knocked the ball out of the park with how it works and everything else to do with giving the game its gorgeous visual style. From the way plants, grass and tress blow in the wind to how blood splatters from your defeated enemies in combat, everything is something impressive to see.

    Even in game controls are somewhat linked to how the games visuals play out. Instead of a compass, a mini-map or a line to follow on the ground, you have what the game calls the "guiding wind" which with a brush of the touch pad on the PS Controller, you can summon a wind that will blow and show you the direction of your targeted location. To describe it in word doesn't do it real justice, so I'd advise either checking out a game play video or playing the game yourself. But the feature works so well to keep you in the game world without breaking immersion while navigating.

    The story of the game is where it honestly does hold a lot of strength. While it's certainly not the best story I've played in games in recent years, that achievement goes to Red Dead Redemption II for me personally, it's story is very meaningful and worth every moment from the start to the end. The impact from the intro, which is one of the best intros in games I've seen in a long while, possibly even ever, to the very end of it, you get moments which will tug at all emotions Such as a dramatic scene being the intro, where you ride in on horse back straight into battle, fighting Mongolian warriors, to the humour of various moments from certain side missions and the comic relief character of Kenji, the alcoholic trader, to the heart tugging moments of when Jin Sakai first breaks his code of the Samurai and takes a life without honour, to when he faces against his former best friend and brother-in-arms, Ryuzo the Ronin, to the sad tale of Yuriko, the woman who looked after young Jin after his mother and father passed.

    The combat is by far the best feature of the whole game. Every move and strike feels realistic and the combat is tactical. Requiring careful decisions and strikes as well as quick reaction times. I could not do it full justice, but it's certainly impressive as Masters of Japanese combat styles have been shown videos (which you can find on YouTube) of the combat styles and have said they're very accurate, well done and impressive. You have four types of enemies, sword users, long arm users, quick attackers and brutes, but each group has it's own sub-types as well. Honestly, you need to play the game to truly get the best experience of the combat. It never gets old.

    The only downside to the game is that some things can be repetitive, which is what holds it back from a 10/10 rating.

    The inclusion of Multiplayer and tons of new content for free boosted the score 8 to 9, as it made playing through the game on new game plus worth while plus Sucker Punch didn't ask for a single penny for it. Plus the legends mode is just so good with friends.

    9/10 score.    … Expand

    I absolutely LOVED this game to bits. The storyline was phenomenal and to my knowledge and understanding (as I did have to look up some stuff to get a better grasp of it) much of it was historically accurate.

The storyline was phenomenal and to my knowledge and understanding (as I did have to look up some stuff to get a better grasp of it) much of it was historically accurate. The storyline is set in 1274, during the first Mongol invasion in Japan and follows a young samurai, Jin Sakai who is the nephew and raised by a leader to a clan of samurai. He was saved by a common thief, Yuna after the first attack of the mongols. Realizing that the traditional ways of samurai won’t defeat the mongol invaders he resorts to practicing what wold be considered dishonourable methods taught by Yuna, such as assassinating and sneaking around enemy areas in hopes to drive the mongols out of Tsushima.
    The character development was AMAZING and all the characters except for the mongol invaders (obviously) was likeable. Even Jin’s uncle, Lord Shimura was likeable despite how much he had a strong distaste to Jin being so dishonourable in his eyes. To me I couldn’t help but like the uncle and respect the fact that he was so strong to his beliefs. And it was interesting to watch Jin start off as a stoic samurai who was very strict on following traditions slowly turn into a 110% bad ass who conveys and acts on his emotions and deliberately not follow tradition whilst remaining humble and maintaining his strong moral compass.
    The cinema and design in this game was so beautiful and realistic in my opinion. It was extremely captivating and only drew me more onto the game and story.
    As for game play, there is very little I didn’t like about the game. The game is similar to Assassins Creed without trying to be like that game. It has quite the handful of unique side activities and features such as bamboo strikes to earn more resolve, hot springs to max your health bar, haikus, honouring shrines, quests inspired by Japanese folklore that lets you obtain armour and new abilities, and the option to play the game in Japanese or English with or without subtitles. However, there are a few things I think they could’ve added to the game, like icons for where shops to upgrade your stuff are. All what was there was a town/farm/temple icon and you would pretty much have to navigate around there until you find what you need. They also could’ve added a mini map at the bottom corner or at the top to help you find stuff, instead of relying on the wind to help you find stuff, as there were more than a few times that I was going the opposite direction from where I needed to be. Overall, I thought the game was fantastic and most likely could play over and over and not get bored.    … Expand

    Esta opinión es totalmente subjetiva.

    Es el mundo mas jodidamente precioso que haya visto nunca en un videojuego. Dicho esto, el juego me ha gustado muchísimo en todos sus apartados. El combate, siendo bastante simplón, es muy divertido y durante la historia va avanzando y metiendo nuevas dinámicas poco a poco, y es muy gratificante. La inteligencia artificial podría mejorar, pero en    Esta opinión es totalmente subjetiva.

The music is divine, with my favorite being "The way of the ghost". Lots of customization options for your armor, katana, and saddle. This is my first review so it is kind of all over the place, so sorry for that. Anyways the game is near perfection, and I highly recommend it.… Expand

It knows what it is, what story it's trying to tell, what vibe it's trying to establish, and it executes those things fantastically.

    When I heard of Ghost of Tsushima, I wasn't really interested that much. Then I heard it was made by Suckerpunch and that pricked my ears up a bit. I loved the Infamous games, but this one seemed a bit different. Then I got this game as an unexpected present for my birthday and I'm incredibly happy that I did.

    After finishing it, I'm left with many enjoyable memories. To be honest, when I first started playing it, I was a little underwhelmed. I wasn't hooked immediately and I felt a few graphical decisions and things such as map layout were clunky. They also played sound through the PS4 controller, which sounded pretty bad. But these were very short term downsides.

    The more I played Ghost, the more I liked it. The world, gameplay and story really built on itself the deeper into the game I got.

    GAMEPLAY:
    The shining star of the game. You really feel like a samurai on an epic quest. A well measured drip-feed of new mechanics keep the game fresh and right when a mechanic is starting to feel old or overused, the game moves on or the mechanic is renewed in some way.

    PERFORMANCE:
    Never had any issues with lag, crashes or anything of that sort. I have no memory of load screens going too long or anything. Performance was great.

    STORY:
    Both the main story and the side quests were well told through the characters which are kept elegant. You're not swamped with 10 million unique characters you can't remember and ever quest feels a bit personal to the character too.

    GRAPHICS:
    Again, Suckerpunch knew what this game was and built it accordingly. The aesthetic of the game brings out great beauty while hiding some poor graphics. You don't get high-res zoom ups of peoples faces every single cutscene like some games try for, but this game doesn't need it. The world of Tsushima is beautiful and feels diverse and vibrant.

    CONCLUSION:
    Sucker punch of honed their skills since the Infamous games. Ghost of Tushima, while not perfect, really reaches for perfection and gets very close. Every time I put down to controller for the day after playing Ghost, I just wanted to sit by a river and write Haiku.    … Expand

    This game sure is fun to play! I couldn't believe my eyes, it runs so well on my old PS4 and looks awesome. The game doesn't force you to do quests or explore- you're free to do whatever you want. One can just walk around, play flute and compose Japanese poems.

    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.
