    Everything is good in hard mode, Except camera view. This game is the best of samurai games.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most visually striking, fun to play games I have personally ever played. This incredible samurai epic which draws parallels from such films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, transports you to an era where steel, and patience are the key to victory against the Mongol Hordes.

This incredible samurai epic which draws parallels from such films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, transports you to an era where steel, and patience are the key to victory against the Mongol Hordes. I found myself stopping and staring at the beautiful vistas presented to me too many times to count in the first few hours alone, only to run a few hundred yards to initiate a standoff against a wandering patrol of Mongols in which I cut them down like I was hitokiri battousai. While the game itself is both visually and mostly fun at times, there are minor issues I ran into with the camera at times when fighting in densely populated areas with buildings. The camera does not make objects transparent so if you are fighting and there happens to be a pillar, tree or wall, it will obscure your vision. This can be fixed with simple camera adjustments, but when you're in the heat of the combat, trying to strike down 5-6 foes some of which are of screen it can be rather frustrating. While this is an issue, it rarely happened to me in game, although it was annoying when it did. The compelling characters, and side quests in conjunction with the free flowing combat system, make this game a joy to play, despite these very few insignificant hiccups. Bottom line is if you are a fan of Samurai epics, incredibly easy to pick up gameplay, open world games where the beauty of the world around you will literally make you stop and appreciate it this is the game for you. Although I had slight problems with the camera work at rare intervals, the package is the closest thing I have seen to a complete, bug free, and incredibly enjoyable experience in ages. I will admit that I have a bias toward Samurai games that are done well, so although this would traditionally be a nine out of ten for me due to the rare instance of annoying camera work, the overall setting, dedication to detail and gameplay hit detection that is almost perfect edges this into the ten out of ten category. Even people that don't enjoy Samurai tales will find something to enjoy here, and to me this is a strong contender for game of the year.… Expand

    One of, if not the best, open world experiences I’ve ever had. Nothing mind blowing unique but it offers great improvements and subtle twists to the typical open world formula we’ve see from other open world games these days, and it does enough to feel new in a familiar genre and pulls it off very well. The story, setting, combat, the depth to the world and skills is a great combinationOne of, if not the best, open world experiences I’ve ever had. Nothing mind blowing unique but it offers great improvements and subtle twists to the typical open world formula we’ve see from other open world games these days, and it does enough to feel new in a familiar genre and pulls it off very well. The story, setting, combat, the depth to the world and skills is a great combination for a game that you can sink many hours into, while can get repetitive I do feel it’s a good repetitive because the gameplay loop is satisfying, fun, and very enjoyable all while being in a world that feels open and very much alive which is satisfying compared to the other open world games from this gen that have felt empty and stale but Ghost of Tsushima excels in all areas of the open world genre having some of the best implementation in an open world game that I’ve played. If you love exploration, skillful combat, a samurai experience, and don’t mind another open world game to add to the list then this is on of the best games you will play. Last but not least, this game is the most beautiful game I have ever seen from the colors to the structure and all the different types of settings It has through out the island of Tsushima is amazing. I definitely recommend this game, it’s a very special way to end off the amazing generation of the PlayStation 4.… Expand

    The most beautiful looking game I have ever played! Worth the $60 for the world they have created only.

    The story is engaging, but nothing too great. The combat is good, and very fun & interesting once you unlock many techniques. It's one of the best things about this game.

    Overall the game is a must-buy and another feather on the crown of Playstation

    It's easily the best game so far this year. You can tell that it lacks a bit of refinement in a few minor areas but if makes up for it with stunning visuals and really fun gameplay that has a suprising amount of depth to it.

    One of the greatest games of all time, play in Japanese with English subtitles on hard (If you speak English) for full realism, absolutely should be GOTY, ignore the average "Critic" reviews, they're all just shilling for TLOU 2 giving GOT low/average scores to boost TLOU 2 scores, I have played both and Ghost of Tsushima dunks on The Last of Us 2.

    I could not wait for this game. The setting of Fuedal Japan is both visually appealing and horrific at the same time. Story has great pace and all about character. Only negative thing I say is, why didn't wasn't this game out sooner. What a great way to end the PS4 only exclusives. Looking forward to seeing what Sucker Punch release on the PS5

    Ghost of Tsushima is a Breathtaking experience with it's amazing Visuals and Sound design, It's engaging gameplay and brilliant story telling. the only thing i can actually nitpick at is the Camera when in fights which is why it gets a 9/10. Bloody love this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. You have stances just like Nioh, you have a cool bow that is very satisfying to shoot at enemies heads, and you have stealth as well, like SEKIRO stealth but with more stuff.
    You have char customization, they're very unique, I'm using a traveller set to find stuff as I pass by, my DS4 starts to vibrate when I'm near a collectible.
    Combat is fast, never underestimate even the weakest enemy, I'm loving the villain of this game, also, apart from all the combat, is a very relaxing game, the world is so beautiful, that you will try to take lots of pictures of the landscape, or just slaughtering some enemies.
    Also, everything loads do quick, after you die takes like 3 or 4 seconds to the respawn.
    Fast travels are also really fast    … Expand

    Espera que sería un juego tirando a “normalito” después de los leer los análisis de la prensa, pero me he encontrado con el mejor sandbox de la generación. Para mi, un firma candidato al GOTY 2020.

    By all means not original, but takes the best mechanics from AC + Farcry (with a dose of tombraider) and does its own thing on top of it. Such a fun game, the combat just feels brilliant. Suckerpunch has taken a balanced approach to graphics and speed, with really fast load times and smooth gameplay.

    One of the best graphics that I have ever played. It actually is the only game that I often use the photo mode just to admire the view. The gameplay is quite challenging, although not the hardest one. The standoff is a pretty fun mechanic, I enjoy it much!

    The main story and side story are great and integrated well. The mission is fun if we decided to be stealth as much as possible.    One of the best graphics that I have ever played.

    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.
