    Un imprescindible del catálogo de PS4. Gráficos espectaculares, historia muy interesante, sonido soberbio y una jugabilidad muy adictiva. Los combates son muy épicos y da la posibilidad de ser fiel al código samurai o bien ser un cruel asesino en las sombras. Todo un acierto.
    El sistema de progresión y habilidades es de lo más gratificante.

    On reading some of the reviews I saw mention of an Assassins Creed set in this era of Japans history. Its still not appeared and now, I don't care,. This is a game with excellent gameplay, great combat, solid acting and script. I have one gripe, its TOO BEAUTIFUL I can't use fast travel or even gallop on the horse its just too beautiful to miss

    I'm going to go ahead and give this a 10. Not because it's perfect - there are certainly some repetitive and boring elements. There are moments when you end up hunting marks on a map (although the animal system is a very smart way to try to do away with much of that). But as a package, it feels coherent, and complete. All the little moments add up to a sense of place. This is in contrastI'm going to go ahead and give this a 10. Not because it's perfect - there are certainly some repetitive and boring elements.

All the little moments add up to a sense of place. This is in contrast to a game like AC Odyssey, which had great flourishes, but didn't feel grounded - too much teleporting around, too disjointed. In this game, all your actions feel like a meaningful part of the plot. Nearly all the side quests came across as part of the central narrative arc - Jin Sakai's transformation into a myth, and what it felt like to be the human going through that experience. And when, on those rare moments, all the various skills and tricks came together, hoo-boy this game is up there with the best in terms of making you feel like some kind of conflicted super-powered bad-ass.… Expand

I’m not going to talk about anything in particular besides to say that you need to experience this for yourself. However, I MUST at least mention the loading times. These are some of the BEST loading times I’ve ever experienced in a video game. Fast traveling across the map takes maybe 10 seconds and when you die it’s almost instantaneous. Huge props to Sucker Punch. And all of this in a game that doesn’t eat up space, as it is roughly 39gbs. Absolutely the best game of 2020 yet. A game like this gets me even more excited for the PS5 because if an aging platform like the PS4 is capable of something like this then I have very high expectations for the next generation.… Expand

    This is how you make a single player game. Visually its pure art, the atmosphere is insane. Combat is not complex but very decent. The story is typical Japanese samurai story but that's what I expect from a game like this.

    Ghost is hands down one of the best games I've ever played, it's a top 5 PS4 game any day. It's simply a work of art, an absolutely gorgeous game. Tight controls, fast hack n' slash samurai gameplay, mind blowing graphics, great characters and voice acting, a great storyline, and loads of stuff to do both in the main story and side missions. Sucker Punch hit a grand slam with this game, 10/10!

    This is a brilliant game, it feels awesome being a Samaria... fighting with the katana feels rewarding and responsive, the audio is good, the visuals are incredible.

    I really enjoyed the first infamous, and this has that feel about it - great to see Sucker Punch at work again, but with lots of swords this time around. Definitely recommended.

    That the other swan song titles will have better scores is painful given that people just look at the green number and go with that as their research.

I watched Seven Samurai again because of the hype this game had me feeling the whole time. It's a Sucker Punch game, through and through - if you liked inFamous: Festival of Blood and bought a Sly Cooper beanie once, you'll know if you already like Ghost of Tsushima so I'm biased in that I've always enjoyed all the good stuff these guys make.

    One of the best open worlds i've played, every scene is like a picture, it's like i'm playing a concept art, the combat and stealth are really solid, and the story is really good.

    Jim is a great main character, a kind and chill guy and that's actually not common in games.

    It's a great contender to game of the year, in my opinion, is more than worth a buy.

The music is inspiring. The characters and storytelling are fantastic. The combat gameplay is visceral and thrilling. Sucker Punch hit an absolute home run with this one.

    I'm extremely glad of that decision. GoT hits my Samurai genre fan heart square in the middle, and with it's huge open world the game provides the epic scale I have wanted in this kind of game for a very long time.
    Like many Samurai movies the basic story isn't going to win many awards, but the characters, situations, combat mechanics and cinematic visuals all come together to make a truly memorable experience. I've loved every minute of the game which is saying a lot.
    In comparison I've tried finishing The Witcher 3 for several months, but I just find myself not willing to play more than an hour or so at a time. Then I take days or even weeks to convince myself to play again. Not so with GoT. I've been playing sessions as much as 10 hours with only short breaks, and I'm thinking of what I want to do in my next session as soon as I've stopped playing. I can't wait to get back. I've played about 30 hours and might be one third of the way through.

    Beautiful open-world gameplay inspired by the likes of Witcher 3 and the recent Assassin's Creed entries. Excellent combat and animation designs. Great use of the power of the current generation gaming console which is already phasing out.

    In terms of historically accuracy, it's a bit lacking. It adds many later-period elements of the samurai culture into the 13th century Japan, which is a bit of a shame, as it is marketed as a setting based on actual historical events. But it's fine in today's video game standards. Definitely a step up from the upcoming Assassin's Creed Valhalla from what we can see so far.

    A breathe of fresh air in today's overly populated open-world RPG genre, blending the unique oriental culture with gameplay elements old and new. High recommended!    … 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.
