    This is one of the best PlayStation 4 exclusive games I've ever played.

Good graphics, the wind mechanic is interesting and very original, good combat system with bloody death animations on enemies, average story, good soundtrack, and the Japanese artstyle in this game is spectacular and original. The only bad thing about this game is that the missions/side quests like Haikus, Cutting Bamboo, Mongol Territories, Sashimono banners, Inari Shrines and Duels are repetitive which makes it feel a bit boring. But it is a very good game. I think this game is not made for everyone, I only recommend this game if you like games set in feudal Japan, in the bloody days of the samurai, or recommended if you like RPGs like Assassin's Creed or The Witcher. For a new IP, I think Sucker Punch Productions did a great job. My personal rating: 9.1/10… Expand

    A work of art made with dedication, love, a lot of study and respect for Japanese culture, an incredible odyssey that is worth repeating several times

    Played this on launch, simply outstanding even with it's flaws. Stealth is smooth and logical. Combat is surprisingly fluid. Then there's the game world, even on a base PS4 it is truly stunning.

    I'd say the only flaw that might be annoying to a lot of players is how "gappy" the story can and could possibly have done with a bit more substance.

    Can't believe this game only get 8.3 on Metascore and the trash Elden ring get 9.7. I will never believe Metascore anymore. This is the best game ever

    This game is the complete package. I played PS4 version on PS5.
    The combat is extremely tight and responsive with enough variety and options to play to the style that you prefer. You can go and take on entire gangs or you can be strategic and use throwables to isolate and take down. You feel like an absolute badass by the later stages of the game.
    Graphically the game is beautiful and    This game is the complete package. I played PS4 version on PS5.

    Graphically the game is beautiful and quite varied as you travel around the lush open world.
    On top of the main storyline missions, there are a huge amount of side missions to undertake and they're well designed and not overly repetitive. They also directly link in with the main storyline which I really like.
    The story is well written and the characters are memorable.
    On top of the main and side missions there are other smaller tasks to complete which are very well implemented and really help build the spiritual side of being a samurai.
    I would recommend this game to anyone.

    La versión de PS5 es una maldita pasada, no le pueden sentar mejor los 60 fps. Gráfica y artísticamente de lo mejor del catálogo de PS4 junto a the last of us 2, acompañado de una banda sonora espectacular. Un imprescindible.

    Was a great game, but launched with bugs and filled with repetitive enemies. The game itself is beautiful, but it’s the filler which spoils it.

    It's amazing how atmospheric this game is, while not compromising anything.
    Good story with movie-quality cut-scenes.
    Fun mechanics with a reasonable learning curve.
    Simply amazing.
    I'm not giving it a 10 because the game lacks historical & geographical accuracy. I'm especially appalled at how the game completely disregards Tsushima's actual geography.

    A jogabilidade, diversão, gráficos do mundo aberto, os personagens secundários e a trilha sonora que são o conjunto que fazem esse jogo ser incrível contribuem muito para a nota, o que faz com que o jogo não seja perfeito são os gráficos dos personagens e o protagonista com pouco carisma.

    I love this game. Exploring was really fun. And the graphics are very beautiful and there’s an breathtaking environment. Combat is like a Morris milliliters of game. The horse riding is very smooth. I also really enjoyed the story it felt like a high budget TV show and I would recommend it to anyone or the age of five

However, there were a couple of flaws that I was not able to brush off which I usually can when I thoroughly enjoy a game this much. One of the issues for me was the very two-dimensionally characters like Lord Shimura. Was not a very big fan of his "You have no HONOR" regime that he kept going on and on about. He also uses it in the most absurd situations to the point where his character feels very cartoonish, If it wasn't for the pure love for his nephew, he would have been a very boring character for me. I also felt that some character facial performances didn't come off as good due to the reduction in graphics quality, especially after they showed really good footage before the quality went down, but it made for smoother gameplay, so I'm not as fussed about it. Also, absolutely beautiful soundtrack.… 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.
