The story is somehow not gripping, even given the dire circumstances of the plot, and side missions feel like a chore to get through. Combat is fun, until you find yourself battling the camera as well as the enemies (who pop up at super frequent intervals making exploration a pain). Characters all have one major personality trait/driving motivation: revenge. Comparing this to an open world like RDR2 which is equally beautiful and has basically one mechanic (shooting) yet still has a far more emotionally compelling story and far more complex characters, Ghost of Tsushima falls far short. 10/10 for visual splendor, 6.5-7/10 for everything else.… Expand

    A nearly perfect game, fantastic art, music, story, gameplay, setting, etc. a wonderful story to explore. My only gripe is my choices had little effect on the game itself, but as a story telling game goes this is an absolute gem.

    I enjoyed this game. Not my typical type of game choice, but it was really good. The only down part I had with it was not being able to skip repetitive cutscenes

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "With its satisfying gameplay and solid lifespan (about 30-40 hours), Ghost of Tsushima is another quality exclusive for the PS4. It knows how to reuse mechanics and fundamentals established by other licenses, and give them its own personal touch. And what a touch. It's not just an Assassin's Creed in Japan: it has its own visual code and almost cinematographic atmosphere, and the sublime island of Tsushima naturally replaces some of the interface elements. The whole game is infused with poetry, which is rather bold for a mainstream title. However, we regret the big weaknesses on a few fundamental points, as it lacks variety regarding the points of interest, the fights and especially the duels, which, combined with an ill-fitting difficulty, wearied us at the end. Nevertheless, it remains a very good experience and a game full of personality… Expand

    Promising. I thought this game will be different than other generic open worlds. But finally a bit boring as any generic open world and it took me times to finish it. Still not my cup of tea.

    I'm going to start this by saying I haven't finished this game, I only got a lot bit into act two. The only reason I stopped here is because I felt like I experienced all the game had to offer. All the enemies were the same, all the "bosses" were the same, no new weapons, and all the areas look the same. I would keep playing if it gave me something new, but right now I'm just bored.

    Amazing game! I'm really proud of what suckerpunch has done with this game. Although the story and gameplay can get repetitive and the stealth kinda sucks and the A.I. is very manipulative, it's still amazing! Highly recommended!

    Brilliant game with great art, storyline arc and overall gameplay. Decent amount of side quests which are also varied in nature (not just fetch quests). Decent enemy AI which will challenge the player especially on hard mode.
    Detailed and extensive skill tree to suit many different play styles although I found I generally stuck to a limited few simply because they were effective.

    Occasional graphical “bleeds” ie...grass outside a tent or structure popping through solid walls...but nothing major and easily lived with.
    Definitely buy this game if you enjoy beautiful open worlds, non linear play, challenging boss fights and a rich, detailed story. Easily my personal “Game of the Year” so far.    … Expand

    Jin or 'the ghost' is a great protagonist and at first comes of a bit generic but grows as a character as you progress the the game.
    the first act is a bit slow as it basically just introduces the side characters. Yuna is a great companion and is an interesting character, Lord Shimura is a very well written character and is Jin's main father figure in the game (Jin watched his father die when he was young).
    The combat is perhaps the best part about this game. The combat is exciting and offers a lot of potentially badass moments. As you progress through the story you unlock new skills, stances, and weapons, which helps the combat feel refreshing and stops it becoming too repetitive.
    I don't want to spoil to much about this game so I will keep this review short. I hope you found this review helpful.    … 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.
