    Tiene bugs si, pero es normal al principio de cada juego. Este juego es mas de lo que esperaba.

    En un mot : chef-d'œuvre. C'est LE jeu Samurai que j'attendais. Cela dit, pour apprécier pleinement Ghost of Tsushima, il vous faut adapter (ou voir changer) votre façon de jouer, il faut vivre comme un samouraï. Il vous faut devenir Jin Sakai. Le monde est unique et beau, different de tous les autres mondes dans lequel je me suis plongé, les montagnes, les forêts, les rivières

    Um game com um estilo artístico único, uma trilha sonora que respeita a temática e um gameplay simples porém rico naquilo que se propõe não deixando o jogador enjoar facilmente nas mais de 40 horas de jogo para fazer tudo o que oferece.

    An amazing game one of the best I played this year for sure. Immersive, visually stunning, kind of plays like Assassin's Creed but without the mandatory-feeling scatter of map markers that you feel forced to complete. So happy I got to experience it and I can wholeheartedly recommend it especially if you are a fan of the feudal Japan setting.

    Great unique samurai experience game delivered was worth the 3 year wait. The combat is masterful and landscape is just beautiful the Japanese voice acting is top notch and mechanics are great it’s a basic story but sometimes simplicity is for the best and in the case of this game the story is good enough, this is a perfect way for sony to end the gen this game is a instant classic

    Great combat mechanics, outstanding graphics and ambientation and excellent story, truly a game that deserves praise and doesn't need to buy it like tlou 2 because you can see the ammount of effort put in the story telling, graphics and playable elements wich makes it a awesome experience. The game is the perfect example of taking care of both graphics and story telling

    I never review games - I came to review this one.

    Pros: - Open world isn't a bunch of filler junk, it all feels meaningful and progressive overall. I HATE open world games! It's always "Please go collect 10 bear pelts whlle my world is burning". I LOVE this open world, though. Everything is meaningful and built into the story. Every place has a story or pushes you to a side-quest that    I never review games - I came to review this one.

    Pros:
    - Open world isn't a bunch of filler junk, it all feels meaningful and progressive overall. I HATE open world games! It's always "Please go collect 10 bear pelts whlle my world is burning".
    I LOVE this open world, though. Everything is meaningful and built into the story. Every place has a story or pushes you to a side-quest that feels meaningful and intertwined. It's not just "go hunt some robots for the hunters lodge because this is easy filler to build" - It FEELS meaningful. It feels like a good balance.

    -Combat and leveling is done right - Not just becoming a meat shield or hitting harder... you actually gain new abilities, get stronger, learn new things, and then can take down enemies using those new things. I LOVE how this intertwines with the story - that he needs to learn ways outside the traditional samurai code to defeat the enemies that have studied their ways.

    -Combat is done right. It's a fine balance between assassins creed boringness and not so frustrating as dark souls where you just die sometimes because there was a monster around that corner.

    -Story is well voice acted, I love where it's going, and I love the world building

    -I LOVE the minimalist HUD. Thank you. Finally a game that immerses you. A good HUD is often overlooked! The way they integrate pathfinding into the wind is a great example of getting rid of waypoint silliness.

    -Music and sound is amazing. The intersection between music and gameplay here has given me goosebumps multiple times. The score is top notch, one of the best I've listened to in a long time.

    -This game is THOUGHTFUL. In the story, at one point, his uncle says his father's spirit is in the sword and the winds will guide him. The waypoint system is by flicking up the touch pad and the wind guides you to your next journey. In real life, this story isn't true and the mongols were wiped out by two hurricans - KamiKaze - God's wind. They are having trouble with the Mongols because they know how the Samurai operate - and leveling is based on him learning new skills outside the way of the samurai to defeat his enemies by finding new ways to defeat their enemies. You don't get stronger through stats and weapons necessarily, but a ton of new cool skills that help defeat these specific enemies as you grow and learn about them - you level up by killing AND spying, etc. That is some top notch game design, and I continue to find gems like this as I play.

    Cons
    -They made some odd choices for the sake of the open world. I'm glad it doesn't take 10 years to travel across like breathe of the wild, but it's also odd that a peaceful village is a 4 minute horse ride away from an enemy fort. That DOES fit with the story, but you have to suspend your disbelief a little here for the sake of avoiding a ton of boring travel

    -no matter the language the mouths don’t match the words. They should’ve stuck to Japanese mouth animations and let the others just deal with it. It seems like failing all animation options was a poor design choice.

    -poor choices on where to “store weapons”. Just sling it around my shoulder or something. Whipping a bow out of your butthole seems silly.

    Most complains or cons are pretty minor so I’m not going to knock it down for these items

    Graphics
    10/10. Clearly one of the most visually stunning games we've ever seen.

    Gameplay
    9/10 Wonderful designed weaved in with story, not stupid bullet sponges, and not a bunch of crappy filler.

    Music/Sound
    10/10 - Amazing design and combinations

    Story/Style/Writing
    9/10 - Solid story, great presentation, very well done stylistically and clearly designed to a very deep level

Part of me was expecting this to not live up to my expectations, but damn it's so good! The island of Tsushima looks incredible and is such an amazing place just to wander around. I get a similar feeling playing this as i did with the equally amazing Horizon Zero Dawn. And i have the same problem with it too..i find it very difficult to stop playing and put the controller down! the story, the characters (for the most part) the music, the animals and the overall atmosphere of this game just draws you in. I kept finding myself saying "just a quick look around this area then i'll return to the temple" Combat wise i was very pleasantly surprised. The sword play is by no means easy and takes good timing particularly with stand offs and spear wielding enemies, and dodging . It feels quite similar to Jedi Fallen Order (at least to me, I'm not the best at combat) the main difference is that in Ghost of Tsushima you respawn where you die (reload on this is very quick too!) rather than ending up miles away at a save point. This means way less frustration for the not so good at combat gamer, as such i didn't mind dying and trying again to perfect an encounter. Also enemy A.I is really good and quite unforgiving, multiple enemies will rush you at once which means you really do need to be tactical.

    Full disclosure, I'm less than halfway through at this point and maybe i'll edit this review later (though i doubt it) All i can say is i haven't had this much fun in a game since Horizon a game i've now played through numerous times, and i can see myself spending a lot of time in Tsushima too.

    I also think it's no accident that this game came out after TLOU part 2. Sony knew some time ago that , that game would be problematic and incredibly divisive, and to be honest it's simply not a good game. So why would you want that to be your last PS4 exclusive. Ghost Of Tsushima is the send off the PS4 deserves, and what an incredible way to enter the next generation of Sony exclusives. Hats off to everyone involved.    … 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.
