    One of the best journeys I've experienced on my 22 years of videogames, art and storywise. Absolutely astonishing.

    One of the best games to close the PS4 generation, thus leaving a very good legacy in the world of video games.
    The game embodies you in a samurai with whom you identify very quickly and think in the same way that you do, a genre that undoubtedly gives a fresh air and takes us a little out of the tradition of shooting games.

    Let’s start with the good. The combat in this game is really satisfying, my only issue was that the hardest difficulty was way easier than the difficulty right below it. So I played the game on Lethal because I usually feel like that is the way the game was intended to be played but damn it’s too easy. All the enemies die after a maximum of two hits or sometimes one hit if they are in a staggered state.
    The duels on the other hand where perfect on lethal, having to dodge and block at the last possible moment to be able to survive felt amazing even though some attack animations where a little cheap to catch you off even when you where dodging but after dying a couple of times these issues just became a learning curve.
    The story felt like a true samurai story with characters that felt true and relatable. My only issue with the story was that it was way too long. After getting to Act III I was already checked out and just wanted to get to the end. The voice acting wasn’t anything special but it was good enough.
    My recommendation to anyone interested in playing this game is to skip all the side quests that don’t involve your companions since these mostly feel like filler and to not bother that much with searching for shrines, hot springs and haikus since these mostly just fill time and doesn’t really give you that much of an advantage.

    *SPOILERS AHEAD*
    Let’s talk more in depth about the story. The main villain, Khotun Khan was great. He felt like a real threat in every scene he was in. Until the last battle with him where you killed him without any real issue. This felt like an oversight and made it feel a little rushed to get to the end with the battle between Lord Shimura and Jin in the end.
    The choice in the end where you get to choose if Jin honours his Uncle’s wish to die a warriors death or spare him also felt very arbitrary and in my opinion Jin would obviously spare his father-figure since he loved him through the whole journey.

    Definitely a good game, maybe not a masterpiece but it’s well worth your time for the gameplay if nothing else.    … Expand

    This game is always a must play! This is one of the reason someone has to have a playstation! The graphic is so beautiful, the combat is so satisfying. The story, is great! I suggest to complete all the side quest before the main quest. This game is like a batman game, but in a samurai/ninja way

    A beautiful game with a great story. You can choose how to approach enemys in the way you choose with few Problems .
    And the game isn't afraid of plot twists either. Plus a free co op game mode coming later. Best game I played all year!

    Очень достойный финальный эксклюзив на пс4.

Игра не изобилует разнообразием, боссы практически все идентичные, задания повторяются и абсолютно не запоминаются. Иди - убей, иди - найди, иди - освободи. К концу игры выполнять побочки уже абсолютно наскучило. Понятно, что бюджет, все дела, но такое ужасное однообразие в открытом мире - это не очень. Если сравнить с тем же рдром 2, у которого почему-то оценка пользователей 8.4, то там я не припомню ни одного повторяющегося побочного задания. То пьянка, то скачки, то ограбление, то избить кого-то, куча интересных вариантов. Здесь можно было сделать что-то подобное, если пораскинуть фантазией, но вместо этого - иди убей, иди найди. Я бы рад поставить 9, но после окончания сюжетной линии игра меня дальше абсолютно не завлекла и я ее тут же закончил, поэтому 8.… Expand

Clearly the developer put a lot of love and efforts into this game and it shows in every interaction you have in the game.

Another problem i found is the world at times feel empty or lacking in activities and the few activities in the world kinda get repetitive, but overall the game does make most of the problems i have with the world optional, and I feel it was a missed opportunity. With respects to the handling of activities I still believe games like Witcher 3 did better. The main character you play as fits the setting and allows the player to truly get absorbed in the historical setting. The fighting stances and skills allow one to tackle objectives with some creativity which helps keep the game entertaining. This overall is one of my favorite games to come out of PS, and probably my favorite PS game this year.… 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.
