    10/10 is to high and seems more like a Shoot aginst Last of Us2 ^^. But it's pretty Fun anyways. Besides FF7R the best Game so far for me this Year.

    The game looks really good. They did not mess up too much with their history or try and spoon in modern politics

    However being an open world it looks like they took. Few pages from other games in its class. Over all i have enjoyed it

    Only real negative is the frame rate. This game needs 60 fps. It could be because I'm playing on an original PS4, but the frame rate seems really janky at some points. With that said, the game play is ridiculously fun and the story is enough to keep me wanting to play, but nothing really special.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Amazing world, great dialogue, insanely fun gameplay. Unfortunately for me, I don't know if I made a mistake of if there was a bug or if the game is coded this way, but when I cleared certain missions WITHOUT using assassinations or anything that would "break the samurai code" I was still called out for "not fighting like a samurai" and that completely ruined my immersion. Other than that tho, super good game.… Expand

    Brilliant game. Platinum trophy a bit too easy to get and graphics could be better quality. But story was a real treat, gameplay and combat is extremely enjoyable, totally worth the game it is. Here is for hopes of new game plus

    Muy buen juego, excelente en todos sus apartados, aunque le encontré algunos detalles en algunos movimientos que se podrían pulir un poco más a la hora de matar sigilosamente, o querer bajar de estructuras, luego la lucha es genial, la historia es buena, los gráficos y el ambiente geniales, muy buen juego

    Perspective from a female gamer.

    So I am pretty sure this game is going to get over an 8 for overall user review scores, but I want to give this game an 8. I want to say I have played about 20 hours so far, so I am not completely done with teh game, but certainly I can say a lot about the game, I also want to say i have TLOU2 at a 5/10, so that gives you an idea of comparison for me    Perspective from a female gamer.

    The graphics/world are BY far the best aspect of this game. I just stopped a lot and just immersed myself in the stunning world. It is one of the most beautiful video games I have ever played. The authenticity of the world and environment is great, which you need for an open world style game.
    The music is also really good, not quite up to Nier Automata or Persona 5 for me, but really awesome!

    So why an 8? I personally feel the combat is pretty good overall, but it's not really my cup of tea so to speak. So if you like this kind of combat (sort of like Assassins Creed I guess) you might rate this higher than an 8. I also thought the main protagonist was kind of decent but not quite enough for me.

    So that's my small review. :)    … Expand

    Fun to play yet it can be repetitive. The combat is basic but requires observation and timing. As the game progresses you encounter harder enemies but can be over powered early on.

    Ghost of Tsushima really hit it with its beautiful scenery, combat system, story, music and world. Despite its downgrade from E3 trailer, it still deliver that visual i personally hyped. And i do apreciate the inclusion of kurosawa mode, make it worth second playtrough right away.

    The combat even tho it was fun, the stealth mechanic and dumb AI really make it not worth to be played as    Ghost of Tsushima really hit it with its beautiful scenery, combat system, story, music and world.

    The combat even tho it was fun, the stealth mechanic and dumb AI really make it not worth to be played as stealth game. Platforming feels clunky most of the time, movement looks stiff etc. Play it as true samurai in my first playtrough and it was super fun.

    Graphics, texture sometimes it looks a bit too flat for me, plenty of repetitive in foliage and scenery. But all world combined, you'll take tons of screenshots using well made photomode on every possible circumtances. Kinda disappointed the world itself lacks of npc for my taste.

    Sounds, superb music composition, superb ambient, superb sfx and voice acting. Especially appreciate the use of native mongolian language for the enemy unit. Sadly its faceial animation werent matched for native japanese language, which imo defeat the purpose of kurosawa mode.

    Story, well me personally kinda want it to be samurai clan vs samurai clan. But foreign invasion works too, even tho its kinda cliche at this moment. The character of jin it feels too one dimension at the start of the game, but his internal conflict about honor is what i'd consider unique in samurai setting where you should face your enemy face on.

    Great gameplay, it is really fun to play but the story is not that great, Masako's tale was better than the Jin's tale.
    Characters not interesting.
    Easy to play even on hard.

    Good game to play without thinking of anything, just play. 8/10 it is enough.

    Combat was fantastic, graphics amazing, story was good very polished indeed.

    I wish you got access to many things earlier on in the game, most of it didn't come until very late. Also, I think a lock-on is a must when your camera is challenging at the best of times.

    8/10 from me!

The color and the environment that you run in are just beautiful.you can see how sucker punch really put there passion in to this game. Now don't get me wrong it can get a little boring.

    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.
