    And absolutely beautiful open game with visceral combat. A game praised and supported by Japan as well as their gaming critics and journalists, show Sucker Punch took great care and respect of Ghost of Tsushima. This is the best way to end the PS4, highly recommend.

    Every aspect of this game is both good and bad. Graphics are great outdoors, but mediocre indoors, and the lip synching is terrible. The music is serviceable but ultimately forgettable. The combat system at first glance is loaded with enough depth and complexity to make it enjoyable, but it falls apart when you are surrounded by enemies (which happens 90% of the time).

The combat system at first glance is loaded with enough depth and complexity to make it enjoyable, but it falls apart when you are surrounded by enemies (which happens 90% of the time). Because of the highly zoomed in camera and the atrocious FOV, enemies constantly move off camera and hit you blindly, and trying to keep them all on screen is very fiddly and frustrating. Stealth is the absolute bare minimum, there is no depth to it, and you are being chastised for using it even though it's a core part of mission design. The writing is serviceable, it moves things along, but it's never spectacular. Exploration rewards you with some collectables and nice vistas, but the world is empty. There are no environmental stories being told. You can't tell your friend "I was exploring the world in GoT yesterday, and I found those super cool things". There are no cool things, only supplies and iron and bamboo sticks. Overall, I certainly expected more from such a game in 2020. When its good elements are on display, Ghost of Tsushima is phenomenal, but it also seems to be somewhat stuck in the past.… Expand

    This game blew my expectations out of the water. A true test to your skills with a rewarding learning curve and the best open world design I've ever played. A must buy for all Playstation users.

    I don’t usually review games so I’m not even going to pretend like I know what I’m talking about. All I have to say this is one beautiful game with fun and engaging combat and a game that will retain your attention the whole way through. I loved it, and I highly recommend it to anyone who hasn’t already picked it up.

    In spite of this garbage website's best attempts, LOU2 will be remembered as trash, while this game is potentially GOTY material, an absolute delight to play, and the Samurai simulator we have all been waiting for in the West.

    I’m a big Kurosawa nerd, and this game hit all the right notes on that end. It’s a great Kurosawa video game. The combat is amazing, the world is beautiful, and it’s such a zen game. Story isn’t anything special, but it’s simple and fun, and works most of the time. Customization options are amazing as well, and I appreciate how all the skills you learn are useful in gameplay.

Customization options are amazing as well, and I appreciate how all the skills you learn are useful in gameplay.

    However, my biggest gripe with this game is that is feels dated. If it was released 2-4 years earlier, I would’ve given this a 9-10, but after all the innovations made by games such as TLOUP2, God of War, RDR2, HZD, and many other AAA games, it feels like it’s been left outta the loop. Things such as cutscene to gameplay transitions, super simple stealth, and very exploitable AI during stealth. At times during free roam, this game can also feel like you’re just ticking off boxes on a to-do list. I’ve encountered many glitches that ruined the immersion too.

    Overall, I’d highly recommend this game for any Samurai and Kurosawa fans out there, and also those who are looking for anew and fun open world experience. Just don’t go in expecting it to be anything close to ground-breaking.    … Expand

    What a way to end the ps4 exclusivity, almost like a years party in gaming, anyways Ghost of Tsushima is a visually stunning game, even the music is the best I've heard since persona 5, the combat feels great and the game is very fun. The gameplay does feel familiar like shadow of Mordor and assassins creed had a Samurai baby, this would be it. A must play for any ps4 gamer.

    Graphics is good, story is ok, but gameplay not so good, some few bugs and Honestly underwhelming experience, the transition between gameplay and cutscene is cringy, could have been better, TLOU 2 is far better experience and a masterpiece, this feels incomplete

There a lots of really cool things when you explore. The main problem is the combat mechanism, the system is based on reality and 2 or 3 hit means dead..
    It's not a problem, with good timings, it's enjoyable a lots to attack then defend counter.. The problem is from the number of attack type, only 3 or 4 attack possible, it would be much better with 10 or 15 attacks types like side fronts cutting heads ect, all this really miss on the game and that make all combat repetitive. I think, dev doesn't got time to really finish all aspects of the game, that what i can taste/sense when i play, it could be really better.. Anyway, this is still really enjoyable and exploring, stories is good to play, no worries. But something miss to be perfect. At 40 $ is the good price. We must be more patient and give more time to developers to finish their games, stop only counting on money.. That sad.    … Expand

    Like this game very much! The battle system is quite well designed, there are many variations that you can use to defeat your enemies, and it is not as difficult as games like nioh or sekiro. Excellent graphics, many things to explore with a very nice navigation system.

    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.
