    Offers nothing new gameplay wise and the story just wasn't that interesting. Also it got repetitive and stale very quickly. Nice graphics though. Imo wait for a sale. Cant recommend.

    Un juego que prometió mucho y a la hora de comprarlo y probarlo fue una gran desilusión, un juego más del montón.
    Si quieres jugar un juego de samurai mejor ve a comprar el sekiro.

    I can’t believe how can one give 100 or 10 to Ghost of Tsushima. Graphics look like a PS3 game, facial expressions are not that good and the game has evident technical problems (with slow downs and other issues). The atmosphere is good, OK, but that’s absolutely not enough. It plays and looks like any FarCry game, but with a Samurai approach.

    Very, very disappointed. Game looks great but it has loads of filler and the story and writing is poor imo. Combat is very easy and gets old quickly. Camera angle is very clunky. Game feels very dated, if it came out 5 years ago I think it would have been received much better. Disappointed.

    Game is boring as hell. I have played all AAA PS4 games, I think this is the worst of all. BORING is the word that express what this game is.

    The game was ok, but not worth 60 bucks. 20 at max. The game looks really sad and the combat was horrible. The graphics are bad too. The only good thing about this game was.... probably the map but that doesn’t matter. Overall game is bad. I can’t put a 1 or I’ll probably get banned

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Extremely disappointed. Repetitive animation sequences, a predictable storyline, and a blank main character severely detract from this game. The vistas and landscape were beautiful, but the minuses severely detracted from the game for me. The creators tried to ape the feel of Kurosawa without understanding the spirit that made his movies great. Additionally the creators Wade into a battle of ahistorical Japanese nationalism without understanding the greater context. A shallow, albeit beautiful, game that does not possess the depth it thinks it does.… Expand

    Story is nothing special and at times extremely boring. It has awful camera where your character is basically in left center of the screen and it makes playing just awful. Character needs to be in center of the screen or slightly left, NOT completely out of center. Overall, it's overhyped game. I didn't like it and i almost feel that i wasted my money.

    Artificious difficulty, bad level design, bad IA, unbalanced, combat system Is initially exciting but It get more and more boring since few hours from the beginning. The only good thing here Is graphic and some parts of the Story. The thing Is this game Is broken and boring.

    I have played nothing else but Tushima for a while, I'm starting the third act because I like doing everything a game has to offer, including the incredibly boring side quests this game has to offer hoping one of them will surprise me. I wanted to like the game, I even pre-ordered it and I dont really pre-order games except for the last of us part 2 which was an absolute masterpiece. ButI have played nothing else but Tushima for a while, I'm starting the third act because I like doing everything a game has to offer, including the incredibly boring side quests this game has to offer hoping one of them will surprise me. I wanted to like the game, I even pre-ordered it and I dont really pre-order games except for the last of us part 2 which was an absolute masterpiece. But here we have to talk about tsushima, I don't even care to type its full name because it is not a full game.

    Story is so bland it could have probably been compressed to some kind of black mirror episode and it still would have been pretty boring, the characters have nothing to offer, no believable performances from any of them, and the bad animation does not help either. I get that the story is supposed to be basted on what happened, on reality, but MAN talk about bad execution, and there are too many elements that make this game so irrational in its own universe that I was mostly disappointingly laughing at it. there are a couple of scenes here and there that are acceptable, but honestly, killing a dog in TLoU2 was more shocking than any of those scenes.

    I have no idea how anyone can praise this games graphics, they are at best comparable to The witcher 3 that came out 5 years ago and even then it would lose. It does have some pretty scenery and that's about the best thing of the game, but it is greatly overshadowed by the emptiness of it all

    This game is with no doubt the most disappointing game I have ever bought, and I bought superman 64 as a kid, how this game is 9.3 at this point is simply unbelievable, even an 7 seems to much for this game, I wish I could have a refund of my money and time spent on it    … Expand

    I'm pretty surprised at the score here.

    So I played the intro section and a few minutes more and I was bored. Really bored. I just got an old Monster Hunter a few days ago and it was more entertaining in 5 minutes than this was in an hour. So basically this feels like a more boring, less fluid, worse looking version of Gujian 3. I have played a few hours of Gujian 3 and it has left me    I'm pretty surprised at the score here.

    So basically this feels like a more boring, less fluid, worse looking version of Gujian 3. I have played a few hours of Gujian 3 and it has left me wanting more . Ghost of Tsushima left me deleting the game.

    The game felt like a film with button presses and sluggish action. Now I can deal with this type of thing, I really enjoyed Beyond Two Souls but the character, this Jin guy, I didn't want to be him, he was so (and I know I'm repeating this word) boring. I just wanted him to get killed off. I love Samurai, I love Japanese things and this is a stunning game but that is it. This Jin guy was like an annoying little millennial **** of a Samurai. There is honour and there is being a bell end. There is a fine line and he crossed it. Jumped up and down on that line.

    GoT is a bit like pulling a model on a night out and getting her home to find out the beef curtains be smelling more like a 2 week old tuna butty than a prime cut.

    As if the immersion of being in the shoes of a character I wanted to punch wasn't game breaking enough. The PS4 started up its propeller every 30 seconds, sounding like it was ready to launch a NASA rocket.

    So if you want a historical Asian style game with good action and stunning graphics. Personally, for me, Gujian 3 is way better.

    I give a point for the bloody brilliant graphics.

    -9 for bad characters, story, gameplay and making my PS4 fan work it's ticket to the extreme. I don't really remember the sound being good, or bad. I'm guessing it was probably just OK. Maybe I just couldn't hear it over the frigging fan that was only recently dismantled and cleaned out.    … Expand

Even simple traversal is a pain and fall damage is out of control. Archery stinks completely, it's not a viable class to use for a full playthrough. Feels like an afterthought just so they can say "Yes, we have bows, too."
    Mounted combat is an absolute joke until far into the Iki Island expansion where you get some abilities and a very ugly horse armor. Stealth is broken beyond repair. I give it one point for some pretty scenery and decent English voice acting. I feel sad for all those people who confuse Ghost of Tsushima with quality entertainment.    … 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.
