    This Game tells an amazing story of a samurai going rogue to protect his country and shows how far he is willing to go to achieve his goal. The gameplay is a 10/10 with plenty of mechanics to use and abuse for close and long rage combat and for stealth / head on attack.

    The sceneries are fantastic and the music is on point . It knows when to go wild and when to keep things calm. The game also offered it's players a free online DLC where you and a group of 3 can tackle survival waves or you and 1 more can attack legends in mini missions. Its honestly a game you should definitely check.    … Expand

    Wow . It's been a very long game that the story takes me to an another world. Just wow.
    Combat mechanics + characters + story + music + depth of dialogues + graphics everything is great in ps5. Only enemy A.I is lack of intelligence, they don't hear you meanwhile you take out their friends 3-4 meters away. Gears+weapons+ skills etc. Everything is a masterpiece.

    Some good graphics but some not so good textures too. I like the wind system.
    Combat starts out really fun, but after a while, it becomes repeative and the game as a whole feels very samey too. I really wanted to like this but it's missing in more than a few areas.

    Some things is done good and some things are just average
    Yet it is the only open-world game i have ever completed.

    i borrowed it from a friend but i would say it is defintely worth the money

Its recreation of Tsushima island is gorgeous and cohesive in its 13th century Japanese identity - scattered throughout the island are tons of fox dens, torii gates and hot springs. The character of the game just leads to a really immersive experience.

    The game's story sees its protagonist, Jin Sakai, become the titular Ghost as he employs ever more dishonourable tactics to defeat the enemy and repel the Mongol invasion. It's a fun story to watch unfold, and it culminates in a genuinely emotional final duel that tops things off brilliantly.

    Ghost of Tsushima certainly delivers on the gameplay front too - the combat is fluid and stylish, and the different sword stances afford it some depth. The bows feel good to use and there are enough other projectiles and abilities to keep combat fresh.

    It must be said that the graphics and art direction in this game are excellent. The use of colour in particular leads to some lush, tranquil scenery, the vibrancy of which makes this recreation of Tsushima island a treat for the eyes. If you're anything like me, you'll be spending a lot of time in photo mode.

    Another thing I'd like to praise is the guiding wind feature - swiping up on the touchpad causes the wind to blow around you in the direction of your current objective. This removes the need for a mini-map which helps to maintain the minimalist HUD, and I just think it's a smart little feature.

    Ghost of Tsushima has a healthy amount of content, but it's not without some bloat. Some of the side quests are unexciting, and even though the open world busywork has a charm to it, it is still repetitious by nature.

    Overall, this is a great title. It sticks to a tried-and-tested formula, but it does it so well that it doesn't matter; it's not a complete breath of fresh air, but it's a fitting swan song for the PS4.    … Expand

    The story is so dissapoint, the fights are ok, but it can't get to Dark Souls, for example you can't target your opponents, it feels "spongy".

Well, I'll play it through anyway, it'll be my game after work ... It's also not that I don't like Open World, it it's just that the game somehow has no soul. No thoughtful gameplay. So my two best Open World Games are, in 1st place "Red Dead Redemption 1" in 2nd place "Red Dead Redemption 2 and in 3rd place is" Horizon: Zero Dawn "... Ghost of Tsushima wants to be a good Open World Game , but in my eyes the story is the most important one that carries such a game and gives the game a soul .... Apropo soul, Dark Souls simply has the best combat system, it's a pity that I played that back then and all the games, also Souls Like Games, have to be measured against me ...    … Expand

    Je le conseille pour ceux qui aiment l'esprit du japon féodal et la mise en scène du cinéma japonais. Un AC like meilleur que ses concurrents

    the art direction is phenomenal. i see a lot of comparison to assassins creed which really is a shame as ubisoft has watered down open world adventures games so much that people cant appreciate an excellent game, because it shares some of the same tropes as ubisofts yearly franchise.

A true tale of revenge as it were (unlike another game, which shall remain nameless), which is wrought via the blade of a samurai. Initially I thought the combat mechanics were very rigged from watching gameplay. However, after now having played it...they're not as rigged as I thought (slightly so). I guess one could say the movements are somewhat accurate since the combat is more realistic based than fantasy, It's easy to see that Sucker Punch are truly fans of Japanese culture since their depiction is so vivid.

    There have been some who said combat is easy, but it's not...compared to Way of the Samurai 4 it is leagues harder because all enemies rush you at the same time (again more realistic based combat) versus enemies attacking one at a time. That said I give GOS a 9 (it would be a 10) because I feel like SP didn't go far enough with enemy deaths, such as cutting off limbs or decapitation from katana. I also feel like they stopped short with aesthetic customization's in that you can't color things the way you want, it's only preset colors. Overall though a solid game, very reminiscent of Tenchu...but also sets it's own benchmark.

    *Note: You really have to be a fan of either the Samurai culture (old Samurai movies) and or Japanese culture to truly appreciate this game.    … Expand

    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.
