    The game has great looks. The story itself didn't pleased me that much and it ended up being a little bit boring.

    My only gripe is the story and its rail-roading. It was made to look as though your decisions matter but they don't. However the rest of the gameplay is fun and still worth playing

    Первое что не понравилось это очень затянуты сюжет с кучей однообразный аванпостов «привет Юбисофт». Да и в целом сюжет крайне странный если бы Основной сюжет немного ужать и карту ужать до размера первого акта и все было бы намного лучше «откуда это дурное желание максимально растянуть сюжет? Или думаете чем больше часов нужно на прохождении тем лучше?»
    Второе графика и я говорю не о пейзажах они действительно очень красивые а о детализации взять следи они появляются крайне редко в частности они есть на некоторых крышах домов.
    Вода также выглядит странно да и детализация одежды не очень

    This is not the end of a generation I imagined on ps4.
    At first TLOU2 was very disappointing, and now the ghost did not live up to expectations, but still better than TLOU2.
    The first thing I didn't like was the very drawn-out plot with a bunch of monotonous outposts "hello Yubisoft". And on the whole the plot is extremely strange if the main plot was shrunk a little and the map was shrunk to the size of the first act and everything would be much better “where does this bad desire to stretch the plot as much as possible? Or do you think the more hours you need to complete the better? "
    The second is the graphics and I'm not talking about the landscapes, they are really very beautiful, but about the detail to take the traces, they appear extremely rarely, in particular, they are on some roofs of houses.    … Expand

    As an east asian I think SP did a good job on the story, art and culture design on this game. Way too many side quests that do not augment Jin's character development (compared to RDR2, in which whatever side mission Arthur Morgan does actually makes his personality change clearer to the players - take chapter 6 as an example).

The few large scale battles and infiltration missions are quite exciting. Overall this game got me interested and engaged throughout the game but not good enough for me to replay it (compared to Spiderman, or RDR2, or even Jedi: Fallen Order, which at least has a sandbox arena mode). Will rescore if an NG+ comes out with new features.… Expand

    The game is ok. iI like it. Combat is a little sloppy but still fun! Visuals are amazing. I have some gripes with the open-world part and sidequests, they are a little tedious.

    Game can be a little awkward and slow at first because there's so much to unlock, but better for a while. After clearing the first part of the island and it's side missions and main missions it goes downhill. What let's it's down is its lacks of animations, no damage visuals, pointless moves to unlock that are cool looking but do nothing but slow you down and leave you open to be attacked.Game can be a little awkward and slow at first because there's so much to unlock, but better for a while.

And that I had to kill so many dogs. Game had various bugs and glitchy mechanics. Game is very basic and gave no mental challenges. Decent game but not 10/10.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Sucker Punch has been making great games since Sly Cooper dropped on the PS2, and while Ghost of Tsushima isn't as great as some of their previous games, it's still a good game.

    The main story is pretty generic, however the side quests are great and overall, many of them strengthen the main story. Jin at times is a pretty dull character but his monotonous and stiff personality plays well off the other characters.

    The design of this game is so freaking beautiful. It's like a painting coming to life. So many times i've found myself standing on the edge of a cliff just looking at the world in front of me. Graphics aren't groundbreaking or as detailed and realistic as other games but the artstyle and the colors, man, this game is gorgeous.

    Facial animations and animations in general aren't really innovative, and sometimes they're really wonky. And as I said already, the graphics aren't anything to write home to, which is odd because Infamous: Second Son had a really high level of polish to it and the details in the graphics and facial animations were top notch, and that game came out early in the PS4's life cycle. So it's confusing to see Sucker Punch go backwards in that area. On top of that, I've encountered a few frame rate stutters and drops.

    Combat is fluid and it makes you feel like a legit samurai. The weight for the attacks and movements are on point, and if you put in the effort, you can pull off some nice fluid combos. The navigation system of using the wind to guide you is a nice touch and it brings your focus to the beautiful world Sucker Punch has created.

    This game isn't a cinematic experience like most triple a games are these days, and it feels more like a video game then those games. There are times where movement and animations aren't as smooth or fluid as God of War, Tlou, or even Infamous: Second Son, however, this game is a blast to play, and it's most definitely worth a purchase.    … Expand

    Great game, graphics are nice, animations are a meh and the storyline/setting of the game is a bit boring in my opinion. It is a really generic bland game though. After you've beaten it there is not much to do and you can safely say you'll never touch it again. Cutscenes are really boring they didn't interest me in any slight way. Overall a pretty good game 7.4/10

Excelentes graficas asi como un buen apartado de misiones secundarias pero con una muy mala inteligencia artificial que te permite matar uno a uno a los adversarios y el sigilo es de lo mas regular.

    There are definitely some glaring issues though with lots of buggy NPC's and game textures plus it has probably one of the worst in-game camera systems I've ever seen. It's like playing a PS3 game with 4k graphics. The story was pretty good though, I think that was probably what drove me to actually play through it. Decent game overall but certainly has a ton of issues.

    This game is good, but not the best, it would’ve been a lot better if they made the AI in-story a little bet better and not like a complete bot. Visually, it’s very good the graphics are amazing, gameplay and combat and sword mechanics are also very good, the story is just ok. I only had a problem with the stupid AI it felt like a 2006 ps3 game’s AI lol, but worth a playthrough tho.

    Now for the Cons- In my opinion the story is average and generic with no memorable characters. They had a chance to make Jin one of their iconic levels characters like Kratos, Nathan Drake, Ellie, and Aloy but they just missed the mark. I also think they should've taken the time to make the Japanese dialogue be able to match up with the lips. I've seen other sony studios put extreme detail in their games that I can't help but think that sucker punch was a little lazy keeping that out. While the environmental graphics look good, the facial animations are a step down from the competition. Lastly and probably my biggest complaint is the bugs and really dumb AI. The game, for the most part, was smooth but there were multiple times in combat that AI bugged out or my horse got bugged while riding it. I also couldn't help but feel the AI enemies were some of the dumbest ones I had seen in recent years and it made the game easier in certain parts.

    My Final thoughts are that this is a good game that I would recommend someone playing at a discounted price. To me as the quality of PS4 exclusives go this is about a little bit better than Days Gone. (And I know some people loved Days Gone) But it's not something I'm dying to see more of and would prefer to see a new infamous or sly cooper from Sucker Punch next.    … 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.
