    As someone who always watches anime and other Japanese influenced media this truly was great seeing very strong references to Japanese culture such as myth's being heavily mentioned and also the way the protagonist struggles with his duty to maintain peace trying to follow Bushido warrior code.The game itself was graphically beautiful and often allowed for exploration of what the islandAs someone who always watches anime and other Japanese influenced media this truly was great seeing very strong references to Japanese culture such as myth's being heavily mentioned and also the way the protagonist struggles with his duty to maintain peace trying to follow Bushido warrior code.The game itself was graphically beautiful and often allowed for exploration of what the island had to offer,most games don't create worlds with this many quests while allowing for combat to become even more difficult after every time it starts becoming less challenging.Overall one of the best games I have played this year.… Expand

    Easily one of the best games I've ever played. No other game has come anywhere close to the graphic quality of this game and it's use of HDR lighting to achieve such beautiful scenery. The small details such as wiping blood off your blade or petting foxes that lead you to shrines is a treat and the combat is incredibly satisfying

    This game has a soul. One of the best open world games for me. I barely even used fast travel or the map. Usually in a open world game I'm used to be with my eyes on the map - all the time. The wind mechanic is wonderful. Its not only worth to finish the game - but also to get Platinum trophy.
    I love this game.

    I can't describe how much I love this game.
    The first game I "platinumed"ever.

    It's not a lie when I tell you that I wasn't bored once in my entire playthrough.
    The game looks and plays amazing.

    Play the game on hard or lethal, it makes it a lot better..

    My first ever game I cared to actually get a platinum trophy and post a review on Metacritic. I also got all the artifacts, records and banners, etc, to prove I played game thoroughly.

EvenMy first ever game I cared to actually get a platinum trophy and post a review on Metacritic. I also got all the artifacts, records and banners, etc, to prove I played game thoroughly. Honestly this is one of the best games I have ever played. The combat is really fun and the story is engaging. The world is beautiful and Sucker Punch really captured the mysticism of Feudal Japan. Even though the fast travel was "fast," I found myself just traveling everywhere I needed to go. Everywhere I went was just an amazing vista, and I felt that this whole world was hand crafted with love and care. I found hours of my time melted away just playing this game living in it's world.

    The combat at first will take some getting used to, but as you progress the story you really get to feel that the combat evolves to how you want to play. I never felt locked down to the Ghost or the Samurai play style. Sucker Punch gave me the choice on how I wanted to play the game, and made all my battle encounters exciting.

    The story at face value is cliche, but the way the narrative progresses you see lots of little nuances that just keeps you captivated all the way to that powerful ending. The characters are so well written and really memorable. The pacing I felt was centered around player agency and I really enjoyed that you can experience Jin's transformation alongside him. It really felt like I played the game and was part of the story and not the other way around. Heck there were some moments in the game that had more emotional weight compared to the entirety of other "Story" driven games.

    A few cons of the game, is that the camera can be a little janky at times. It can get caught in the environment blocking your view. Enemy AI still needs some tuning for more immersion. I really wish some of them just didn't stand there or did not react when they say a fallen friend. I know the lethal mode was just released, but it just feels like the enemies hit harder and not smarter. I really didn't experience any bugs in my play sessions so I can't complain about that. Another small nit pick would be that the NPC models do get repeated a lot and that you do rescue a lot of the same characters on the road.

    The game is fun, really fun. I want to give it a 9.5 but Metal Critic won't allow it. Your doing yourself a disservice if you don't go out and play this experience. Regardless if the game did anything new or not Sucker Punch stuck to core values and made the game fun. I will be anxiously waiting for a N+ mode to play this game a second time. GOTY in my eyes, go play it!    … Expand

    The game is an absolute masterpiece, beautiful visuals, the story pulls you in, every side mission has a tale to tell. Every character has a story, you truly become immersed in the world of Tsushima. By the end of the game you truly feel like you have become the ghost, every enemy is terrified of you. If I could genuinely rate this game higher I would, it is my GAME OF THE YEAR.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Where do I even begin... This is by far one of my favorite games. Between the combat, art style, story and characters, I’m not sure words can describe this game. The sword play is spectacular and so fluent. It feels so natural and not clunky at all. Switching between stances and learning how to properly take down opponents is so interesting. The one on one matches have to be my favorite part of the fighting.

    This game made me want to forgot my horse and walk across the huge map on foot and take in all there is to see. I have never taken so many photos in a game before. Every time I went to a new area I would stop and just look around, eyes wide like a child seeing magic for the first time. The story was so captivating, I never wanted to stop playing. I wanted more and more of the story every time I finished a quest. The twistS in the side stories and the main story were beautifully executed. Seeing Jin turn from a honorable samurai to the Ghost was an experience I will never forgot. The character development from the friends you meet along the way was both heartbreaking and gratifying. I will forever recommend this game to anyone, do yourself a favor and become the Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

    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.
