    Open world abbastanza classico, con uno stile grafico molto ispirato con paesaggi davvero d'impatto.
    Gameplay e sistema di combattimento molto valido, vario e tecnico, pieno di approcci e soluzioni diverse.
    Trama molto lineare, forse anche troppo.
    Longevo e con un livello di difficoltà ben calibrato.
    Non un capolavoro, ma un titolo solidissimo.

    Um jogo de história mediana, um visual muito atrativo e bons gráficos, porém mesmo para um jogo de mundo aberto poderiam ser melhores.
    Sua força está na jogabilidade, o combate te prende cada vez mais conforme o personagem e a história vão evoluindo.

The combat is fantastic slicing Mongol soldiers with my sword was the closest a game has made me feel like a samurai. The story is phenomenal Jin sakai is one of my favorite characters in gaming His decision to become the ghost was an extremely powerful moment and the final showdown between him and lord shimura is one of my favorite moments in gaming period as just two warriors walking along different paths.

    Unbelievable! This is one of the best games I've ever played. There's not much wrong about this. I always say a game should be rated as a game first and this is just a joy to play. There's a story along with this as well and it is fascinating but to be honest the gameplay outshines the story by a distance here.

    When it comes to the combat it takes a while to get your eye in. Its all about timing. If your off by a millisecond your getting sliced in half. But when you get your timing right it is so satisfying to succeed. I love it. And playing in this beautiful world is a joy to behold. The colours, the sound are just perfect.

    Lets consider this game as a send off to the PS4. It has been a great console that has provided great games such as Uncharted, Spiderman and now Ghost of Tsushima. I hope this is a series in the making cause I'm giving this a TEN. It is really that good. This is some serious polish.    … Expand

    Its one of the best games of all times, this is what happens when a dev pours their all into a game. Its by far the most cinematic and visually striking art design in all of gaming. The polish is unparalleled, everything feels, looks and plays so well and with attention to detail beyond what the industry showcases in current day and age.

    ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE

    It leads you into unbeatable bosses not telling you that it's unbeatable. I hate it when games do this. It's like someone giving you something and then taking it away after. Gameplay feels like something from PS3. Graphics are -b at best. Combat works alright although parrying is basically pointless as it's high risk and low reward. Just block. Story is quite good but little to short.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is the one of the final calling cards of the PS4 era. As an open world, 3rd person, action/stealth game, GoT demonstrates that simple innovation mixed with solid plot, excellent voice acting and characters, and a beautifully haunting musical score can carry a game to the heights. While the story does not take any huge risks, it is no less compelling. Combat is fluid andGhost of Tsushima is the one of the final calling cards of the PS4 era.

While the story does not take any huge risks, it is no less compelling. Combat is fluid and challenging, and the world is vibrant with many landmarks and secrets to discover. The only major issue at launch was the number of graphical glitches and bugs (jumping into buildings or rocks landed me stuck or falling through the world, very often.)

    Overall, the game succeeds in making you feel the dynamic of the Samurai and the Ghost. Highly recommend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got this game on release and played it faithfully for many hours, but then I got kind of bored with it and didn't play again for a couple months. I ended up just getting more wrapped up in other games, which is never a good sign. I wanted to beat the story so I forced myself to sit down and beat the game in its entirety so I finally went ahead and did that.

    Overall, the game has a great atmosphere, satisfying and simple combat system (that has some depth) a beautifully unique art design, and a faithful Japanese spirit throughout. I quite enjoy the fact that you can unlock most everything in the game without microtransactions or DLCs and the storyline itself is quite good although it's nothing absolutely compelling. The ending definitely pulled on my heat strings and that first scene of Jin as the Ghost (when you poison the Mongols) got me fired up. Once you master the combat system, you'll really FEEL like a samurai and that sort of power fantasy in games like this are important. There's a lot to like here, but the game isn't perfect. I think there's WAY too many people on here blindly screaming "10/10 perfect!" because it's not a perfect game by any means, unless maybe you haven't played an open world action RPG in the last 5 years. If you have, a lot of things here are going to look familiar.

    The cons aren't plentiful, but they're impactful. This game's stealth mechanics feels almost exactly identical to Shadow of Mordor/Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey. These games are generally criticized for feeling repetitive and having boring side quests and I unfortunately got that feeling from time to time with Tsushima. After I mastered the combat system, and reached a point where I almost never got injured during combat sequences, it was no longer exciting to take down Mongol camps anymore. The first 5 or 10 times? Yeah, it was cool. But you end up doing these things so much that it starts to have that Far Cry 5 affect of endlessly clearing outpost after outpost. Which to be fair, a lot of modern games rely on "outpost liberation" style gameplay, it's nothing bad inherently, but that's my point. If you've played AC Origins, or Shadow of War, or any of these other titles, you're not going to be excited to be doing it here again and again. In fact, once you beat the game and side quests, what does it tell you to do? Clear MORE outposts. After stealth killing a Mongol for the 1000th time, or Heavy Arrowing a guard off a tower for the 1000th time, or getting into a battle with a random group of 5 Mongols and parrying their strikes and murdering them with cold efficiency for the 1000th time, I just felt bored. Does that mean I never had fun? No. But what it means is this game lacks depth. Behind the layer of beautiful mosaic scenery, and epic tales of The Ghost fighting back the Mongol invaders, what we have here is a pretty basic stealth system, and an above average combat system with a largely empty Open World. That's the game.

    Yes the map is big, and it's pretty, and there's lots of side quests and collectibles, but that's actually it. Outside of main quests, you have 5 duels, a bunch of fetch quests, a bunch of "Go to this abandoned fishing village and kill these 6 bandits that stand zero chance against you", and about 1000 different collectibles thrown all over the places. While the hot springs, and bamboo strikes are pretty cool, there's nothing else to immerse you in the world. You can't share sake with a friend, or go to a tavern, or play any minigames like Go or Shogi, you can't really INTERACT with anybody outside of the main quests. There's no blade maintenance, no caring for your horse, building relationships, making decisions, etc. Beneath the layers of story telling and visuals, this game is essentially played on rails but it tricks you into thinking it's not. What agency and choice do you really have here? Whether you'll knock out a few side quests before continuing the main quest, or not. That's it. This game, very easily, could have been more linear like The Last of Us 2 and it probably would have been better for it. I guess that's more of a problem with the gaming industry than this game specifically. Studios seem to think everything has to be some massive open world setting, but a lot of times that setting can drag a game down rather than lift it up. I think it dragged Ghost of Tsushima down. Constantly riding through endless empty fields really messes with the pacing and by the final stretch of this game, it felt like I was trudging through the mud just trying to finish the story.    … 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.
