Amazing photo Mode. The only downside I have with the game are the bugs and the cutscenes some times act strange like the audio dropping significantly on one of the npc speaking. 9.5 Out of 10 for Me. Must Play!… Expand

    Gameplay:
    It reconciled aspects of the souls genre with something more accessible like AS. Creed, however it adds its own flavour with its unique samurai techniques. Throwing a smoke bomb,m to blind a group, sneaking up on the leader, killing the others with quick Kunai and then finishing off with a brutal special technique, the cool moments are endless and player choice is empathised through the ability to switch between Ghost and Samurai seamlessly. As an open world game this borrows heavily from Breath of the Wild, minimising any kind of UI and creating a very organic feeling world in which discoveries are endless, separating it the run of the mill games in an exhausted genre.

    Story :

    This is heavily rooted in Japanese lore and shows great respect for the culture, it’s hard to to be charmed by the Samurai dialogue and anime like themes, ultimately it feels like a very well done traditional movie which lends the game a great atmosphere. Unlike the Last of Us 2 the game doesn’t go for unnecessary shock value or excessive gore, the story feels much more believable and the violence contextually appropriate, leading to a much more consistent, principled and satisfying narrative. Perhaps player choice isn’t integrated as well as in the Infamous series for the sake of telling a cohesive plot, though the theme of conflict between the ghost and the samurai code is compelling enough. Overall, this is the best PlayStation exclusive since God of War and for those disappointed with TLOU2 this may be the refreshment you need!    … Expand

    Gameplay : the gameplay is really fast and challenging. You have lots of different skill to choose from.
    Story : so far I liked side quests more than story missions, some of side quests are really awesome specially that ghost mission in woods.

    THE GHOST OF TSUSHIMA REVIEW: Twelve Hours into Open World Exploration

    The Ghost of Tsushima is the samurai game that Assassins’ Creed could never be because the Samurai Code, as explained early on in the game, is about showing respect to your enemy even as he bleeds at your feet begging for mercy. Thus, the shadows will remain your tactic until you upgrade your armor, gear and    THE GHOST OF TSUSHIMA REVIEW: Twelve Hours into Open World Exploration

    The Ghost of Tsushima is the samurai game that Assassins’ Creed could never be because the Samurai Code, as explained early on in the game, is about showing respect to your enemy even as he bleeds at your feet begging for mercy. Thus, the shadows will remain your tactic until you upgrade your armor, gear and technique so that you are taking on more challengers in standoffs and then combat. Perhaps this is why the stealth AI needs a patch to get up to speed.

    Sucker Punch does not delay with the gorgeous visuals and the opening scene becomes one of the most beautiful I have ever played as the beaches of Komoda are lit up with Mongol firebombs. The nature of the adversaries are also immediately set in the opening scene when Khotun Khan (relations to Genghis Khan) informs that his men have been infiltrating Tsushima while the Samurai have merely concentrated on the battle. This is an accurate allusion to the genuine tactics of the Mongols in the thirteenth century when they had sent emissaries to Japan prior to invasion.

    The open-world is available following an opening screen and score that gave me goosebumps; it is easily the most beautiful open world that I have ever played. There is a clear tradeoff between realistic graphics and beauty and Sucker Punch has used it to produce an ethereal game with scenes that deserve to be printed and laminated as art. The details in individual blades of grass, stars, leaves and ripples in the water kept me simply riding or playing the bamboo flute for a good two hours. This requires a special mention of my Dapple Horse, Kage, who enjoys the flute and will nod and step his hoofs to the melody.

    The protagonist is the young samurai Jin Sakai, the last surviving member of the Sakai clan. He is the trained stoic samurai and is hesitant to shift from his code and this could be his defining personality, but Jin is revealed in his interactions with NPCs and introspections to be clever, brave and humble. There are also moments of levity and sarcasm that tie his personality neatly and Sucker Punch has created a believable protagonist with the foresight and intelligence to organise a resistance against the Mongols. Daisuke Tsuji’s voice fits Jin Sakai perfectly.

    Combat mechanics are smooth and every button-press has weight so that spamming will end in ugly deaths unfit for a samurai and you are required to learn the sequences and combos. A personal favourite of mine is completing the bamboo sword challenges, the smooth strike of the correct combination is immensely satisfying. The combat is detailed and success requires paying attention to the style of your enemy; this is enabled by decomposing combat into stances and then supplementing with techniques and their upgrades. The shadows are not completely abandoned and tactical ghost weapons will feature when facing multiple enemies. There is no lock-on feature and this does get frustrating, perhaps it can be patched, but I can learn to live with it.

    There are details to this game that make it an absolute win for the whole family, such as the cute foxes we can pet, the pretty golden birds that take you to breathtaking locations atop mountains and in hot springs, the fireflies and pollen that light up the scenes, and the wind. I love the wind, as someone who dislikes minimaps, this game has done an absolute winner with the wind mechanics. The Ghost of Tsushima expects you to interact with your surroundings and you will appreciate the beauty of the perfect scenery. Additionally, so far, I have composed two haikus that have given me beautiful headbands and I am on a quest to gather the flowers to dye my armor to match.

    It is too early for me to comment on the story and as someone who spent 230 hours on AC Odyssey and only concentrated on the main story in the last 50 hours, I am not in a rush. The multitude of sidequests add to the depth of the main story and you meet strangers who divulge rumours about interesting places and people. I will say that it started fast and Jin’s journal plans an effective strategy to raise a resistance against the invaders. This is a fitting end to a truly memorable generation in gaming.    … Expand

I’ve noticed that some of towns are empty, but then you realize it part of the story line because mongol invaders took over that land and people were forced to leave the island. The ending also was odd inspiring, I never had a video game that could make a person depending on choice. If their is one piece of criticism I could it is that I wish there less fade to black and more transition animations. Over all I am still rating this game very high and I hope it is a contender for game of the year awards.… Expand

I enjoy this game so much and love its diverse playstyle so much I wanted to give it a 10. The drawbacks I've found were minor but some movement issues and a few weapon tracking issues keep it from being perfect. Still, if you are a fan of sword fighting, samurai movies or games or good action games this one's for you! I personally feel that assassins cred games should take a good look at this game and add our use aspects of its stealth, enemy actions and combat.… Expand

The environment of Ghost Of Tsushima is beautiful. Possibly the most beautiful game I’ve played to date. Jin is a great protagonist. One of the things that I love about him is that he sort of acts like Kratos and Samurai Jack, who don’t seem to talk as much but when they do it sounds plain, and that is because Jin was trained to control his emotions and keep them aside at times since he was young, making him an interesting protagonist. He also does not stop fighting until the poor and weak are safe, which shows the hero in him and love it.… Expand

I had feared that the combat would be a dumbed down button mashing experience like in Assassins Creed but it surprised me how engaging and diverse it is. If you played Sekiro before then it is fair to say that Tsushima does not need to hide. On top of that it is refreshing that the Open World is not a boring, superficial and repetitive Ubisoft formula type but rather filled with interesting and memorable side-quests on par with the Witcher 3.    … Expand

Lo que sentí que le faltó fue en las animaciones de parkour y la animación cuando derrumban a Jin con un barrido de lanza, sería mi única queja con el juego.

    Ghost of Tsushima is one of the most visually striking, fun to play games I have personally ever played.

This incredible samurai epic which draws parallels from such films as Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, transports you to an era where steel, and patience are the key to victory against the Mongol Hordes. I found myself stopping and staring at the beautiful vistas presented to me too many times to count in the first few hours alone, only to run a few hundred yards to initiate a standoff against a wandering patrol of Mongols in which I cut them down like I was hitokiri battousai. While the game itself is both visually and mostly fun at times, there are minor issues I ran into with the camera at times when fighting in densely populated areas with buildings. The camera does not make objects transparent so if you are fighting and there happens to be a pillar, tree or wall, it will obscure your vision. This can be fixed with simple camera adjustments, but when you're in the heat of the combat, trying to strike down 5-6 foes some of which are of screen it can be rather frustrating. While this is an issue, it rarely happened to me in game, although it was annoying when it did. The compelling characters, and side quests in conjunction with the free flowing combat system, make this game a joy to play, despite these very few insignificant hiccups. Bottom line is if you are a fan of Samurai epics, incredibly easy to pick up gameplay, open world games where the beauty of the world around you will literally make you stop and appreciate it this is the game for you. Although I had slight problems with the camera work at rare intervals, the package is the closest thing I have seen to a complete, bug free, and incredibly enjoyable experience in ages. I will admit that I have a bias toward Samurai games that are done well, so although this would traditionally be a nine out of ten for me due to the rare instance of annoying camera work, the overall setting, dedication to detail and gameplay hit detection that is almost perfect edges this into the ten out of ten category. Even people that don't enjoy Samurai tales will find something to enjoy here, and to me this is a strong contender for game of the year.… Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is the polar opposite of this; it reminds you why games are fun.

    There is life in every frame. Every heartbeat of the brutal, intensely satisfying combat; every drop of rain and every leaf journeying the wind; the slow, melodious hum of the world flows through the player to the sound of an enchanted medieval Japanese flute.

    This is why we play games.

    Ghost of Tushima never condescends the player; it's a game made by gamers who feel tired of being strung along. The emphasis is adventure, and the fulfilling feeling of growth and mastery of the world and your skills.

    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.
