    With everything going on in the world, it feels great to play a game that is not only beautiful and fun, but also an extremely positive and uplifting experience.

From creating unique poems while performing haiku over a river bed, to following foxes to secret shrines, to playing the flute in the middle of a thunderstorm, and riding your horse through a vast grassland at dusk, Ghost of Tsushima reminded me how therapeutic games can be.

    That being said, if the exploration gives the player a sense of relief and calmness, the combat gives you a constant feeling of pure excitement, which to me is on par with God of War. Riding your horse in to attack a mongol encampment in your newest samurai gear covered in blood and mud, really makes you feel like you've created your very own personal samurai to take back Tsushima. And speaking of newest gear, the customization in this game is also something that really resonated with me as well. It isn't saturated with random armor and weapon pieces that you end up discarding after wearing for ten minutes, and they aren't scarce enough to have you expecting more, its the perfect balance. The story and stealth game-play however, are the only areas of the game that I think have noticeable issues, but both still are done well enough, and with the beauty and combat being so superb, its easy to overlook a few shortcomings. Nevertheless, this is an instant classic and a must buy for any PlayStation 4 owner and in my opinion the Game of the Year.

    Without a doubt one of the best games I've ever played and without a doubt game of the year for me. Honestly might even actually get the real game of the year award. Took everything an open world game needs and blended it together wonderfully. Thanks sucker punch, can't put this one down.

No social/political agendas or forced alphabet soup letter nonsense poisoning the quality of the game (looking at you Naughty Dog and Last of Us 2) - Ghost of Tsushima is a breathe of fresh air. I purchased the Collector's Edition (which sold out on release date) and it is worth every penny. I enjoyed the game thoroughly. Game play was fun and engaging. Soundtrack was serene, tranquil and tear-invoking at times. The story line was riveting and worthwhile. 10 out of 10 for me. I am eternally grateful for Sucker Punch releasing this game right after Naughty Dog's Last of Us 2 abomination/joke game. This game allowed me to cleanse my palette of TLOU2's disgusting poisonous after-taste.… Expand

    Uma verdadeira obra prima do século 21. Jogo incrível, sem dúvidas um dos melhores exclusivos de PS4. Arte incrível. Ritmo muito bom de se acompanhar, e as atividades do mapa são bem diversificadas. Eu nunca dei a mínima pra gráfico, mas com essa arte e o contraste de cores fiquei admirando e usando o modo foto diversas vezes. Passear pelos campos é quase como uma terapia.

Believe me if I say that Ghost of tsushima is for now the real goty 2020. Also this time we will demonstrate with the votes and user reviews that journalists / reviewers of videogames sites are a joke, and they are not credible.

The writing is emotionally driven i felt anger, sympathetic, sadness and betrayed and I’m just through the first act, this is simply a fun game to play and I think all the negative critic reviews ironically “review bombing” ghost of Tsushima for some weird reasons. I highly suggest buying the game, and if CP 2077 will not be nominated for this year due to its release date then IMO Ghost is GOTY without a real competition.… Expand

    It sure is pretty but a closer look reveals a game that is unpolished and quite generic. The story so far is very predictable. It doesn’t stand with other games from years ago like Red Dead ll or most recently The Last Of Us Part ll.

Unos panas me contaron sobre un calvo que pelea en un monte con rayitos de fondo y sinceramente no estoy listo para ver una secuela de sekiro que no este creada por miyasaki.

This game is addictive and you will find it hard to put down your controller. So don't be like me, take regular breaks to rest your eyes, brain, and hands or else you'll easily end up playing the whole day sleep be damned!

    GRAPHICS: The game has stunning    Wow! A game that hits all the right boxes with a few minor flaws but even those cannot dampen the overall experience of the game. This game is addictive and you will find it hard to put down your controller. So don't be like me, take regular breaks to rest your eyes, brain, and hands or else you'll easily end up playing the whole day sleep be damned!

    GRAPHICS: The game has stunning visuals. I thought it would be hard to beat TLOU2 in the visual department, but here we are only weeks later. The environment, the grass, trees, water, all polished to please your eyes and enhance your experience traversing the island.

    SOUND: If you've played or watched samurai movies and games based on Japanese history, then Ghost of Tsushima knocks it out of the park. The wind sound as it blows through the environment, makes you feel like you are actually there. If there was a VR option for this game, that would've been awesome. The sword and bow sounds in combat, blood spurts, and other environment elements are common to what you hear in past great historical Japanese samurai themed games and movies.

    GAMEPLAY: This is where Tsushima hits a home run for the most part. You feel connected to the character. You grow and customize him as you progress through the story and complete missions (tales) as you explore the island. Learn new abilities, and stances to help in combat to make you the most badass samurai you can imagine in a movie or anime. Upgrade armor, equipment, and tools to get the job done of slashing, and piercing those evil Mongol hordes. A combination of elements from the old Tenchu games, Uncharted's style of climbing up and getting around the map, and the open world feel of games like GTA. All comes together quite nicely.

    STORYLINE: Coming off the huge disappointment of TLOU2's storyline, this game does the revenge theme correctly but with a very Japanese samurai like process. Defend your clans honor, avenge fallen comrades, choose whether to fight the honorable samurai way head on and face to face with enemies or sneak around like a ninja and assassinate your foes silently. Your character starts off kind of naive, but as the story progresses you see him mature and harden to the harsh reality of fighting a war of swords and bows against the most dishonorable fighters of the time, the Mongols. You are given a clear goal to achieve, and you are satisfied in the end to achieve it. Something that TLOU2's writers could've learned from.

    CONS OF THE GAME: My biggest complaint for the game is the lip syncing when using the Japanese dub. The lips do not match what is spoken. It could be that they synced it to the English dub but not the Japanese dub. It gets annoying if you focus on the face during cutscenes, but those who read the subtitles will probably not notice it as much. People who can understand Nihongo and play without subtitles will notice. There are also some AI glitches like enemies occasionally get stuck in pieces of the environment, but this is rare and hardly noticeable.

    SUMMARY: Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect palate cleanser to get the awful aftertaste of disappointment from playing TLOU2 which was released previous to this game. It has all the elements of TLOU but without the flawed storyline. This game's gameplay and visuals will keep you hooked playing for hours. Replay value is there for those who want to explore every inch of the island and get every item to be found. Those who saved their money and skipped TLOU2 and got this game spent their money wisely. This game is worth the money and time to play. This is the best game of 2020 so far. Looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077 to see how that does. Ghost of Tsushima has set the bar high for what a great game should be in 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.
