    The game looks gorgeous, good story and amazing combat. What I didn’t like is the player movement control, wasn’t good, could be fixed. Overall, the game is worth buying, go and get it.

    From the beautiful landscapes, exploration and just the fun combat I can't believe this game turned out as good as it did. A strong game of the year contender if you ask me! Suckerpunch I'm already ready for a sequel! Let's get it!

    Almost perfect, and alot better then Breath of the wild. If you love Japanes culture, a beautifull open world, and brutal sword action. This is it. It just needed a bit more polishing on some aspects. Like the platforming, or climbing a ladder. Little things. But Suckerpunch improved alot since InFamous. Wel done!

Since this is an open world game, there isnt much room to be original, but GoT surprisingly does it's best to be grounded and natural in it's own way. The story is good and straightforward unlike the complexity of games like TLOU part 2. the gameplay forces you to actually learn different stances and how they are related to each enemy type, which is a breath of fresh air considering that many other open world games are just hack n slash. The graphics are agreeably downgraded but they are still better looking than any of the games I've played this past year. The only noticeable difference from the 2018 trailer is the ground texture, thats about it. This game is amazing and I've never played a Sucker Punch game before, so don"t let negative reviews affect your decision.

    Ghost of Tsushima è un vero gioiello come gioco. Il tutto si potrebbero riassumere con il totale è più della somma delle parti, infatti seppur patisce qualche difetto tecnico come i bambu senza fisica e un cavallo sicuramente migliorabile riesce a tenere tutto insieme grazie a un gameplay da paura e un mondo di gioco poetico. È questa la direzione giusta, più giochi meno film, grazie.

    Simply amazing. Exceeded all my expectations and removed the sour taste of disappointment that TLOU 2 left in my mouth. Worthy swan song to PS4 era. Sucker Punch just nailed it.

    Graphics: 10/10, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Easily in the Top 5. Story: 9.5/10. It is amazing. The ending is absolutely well done and the pacing is great.

    Graphics: 10/10, one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. Easily in the Top 5.

    Story: 9.5/10. It is amazing. The ending is absolutely well done and the pacing is great. Made me tear up at the end. Gameplay: 9.5/10, combat is almost perfect. Extremely satisfying, challenging and with a lot of depth. I only removed the 0.5 points because of the clunky camera in closed areas and no lock-on system to counter that (like in Soulsborne). Music/Audio/Soundtrack: 9/10, simply amazing.

    Open World/Side Quests: 9/10. Open World feels alive, is huge (~30 km square) yet does NOT feel empty AT ALL with the frequent random encounters and overall the things to do. No minimap and wind guidance mechanic really helps to get lost in the world and enjoy the never ending beautiful scenery. It encourages and rewards exploration. Side quests are great. Although no Witcher 3 level, it is pretty damn close and each side quest have their own unique stories and are enjoyable. “Big” side quests (called Mythic Tales) are the best ones. They have their own entire plot and almost all of them have a great boss battle at the end and the rewards are amazing and totally worth your time. Fun factor: 10/10, forget the story, forget the graphics, game is just extremely fun to mess around, explore the world, fight enemies and etc. The most enjoyable game I have played all year and I have played TLOU2, FFVIIR, Doom: Eternal, Animal Crossing and etc.

    Overall: 9.5/10, my personal GOTY (the only game remaining that can even come close is Cyberpunk). I can see it being in my Top 10 games of all time just because of the quality open world, gameplay and combat alone. Other things are just icing on the top.

    P.S.: I gave the game 9.5 but rated 10/10 because after finishing the game and currently going for 100% completion and platinum, I personally think any less than 9.5 is not doing this game justice.    … Expand

    - the main protagonist, Jin, his Japanese voice actor is too old, often not matching his face; Yuna and his little brother are also feeling odd when they are opening their mouths. The only good ones may be the Big Bad Mongolian, Jin's uncle and his childhood friend.

    Overall, I think the creators are too obsessed with the old Japanese Samurai TV show/movies type and they always want you to appreciate their MASTERPIECE and efforts by deliberately not allowing you to skip their wonderfully crafted art works...

    I will appreciate them more if they don't try so hard.

    Gameplay wide though, they have copied a lot of mechanics from the AC series (the stealth mode bgm is constantly reminding me the one from AC games) but also introduces a more fluid action/skill system. Yet, it is disappointing they copied the bad things from AC, like stuffing tons of bloating boring side-quest at every concerns of the map.

    But the katana battle feels satisfying and you can feel your character is powerful and fearsome after the mid game (perhaps OP sometimes).

    The game designers should understand not every one is fond of the old school Jp Samurai show style. I play a game for fun and joy and couldn't care less about how they try to recreate the legendary Kurosawa's vision or style.

    One last important thing:
    - you must not believe the game will teach you a history lesson or Japanese culture correctly just like any AC games.    … Expand

    Sucker Punch made the best game ever since the original Infamous game, I really glad they made that and everything this whole Samurai story is amazing, 100x better than TLOU2, the graphics are impressive, the combat is brilliant and you can explore around the island, some bosses are very tough but you get used to it

    Overall score:

    Plot: 9 out of 10
    ALL CHARACTERS are well spelled out and you understand their motivation.

    Graphics: I'm not a professional in this business, but I would say 7 out of 10. Everything is very beautiful, but sometimes you notice places where it could be done better.

    Gameplay: 8 out of 10. When you get used to the controls, all types of combat stances, strikes, blocks, you can conquer even the maximum difficulty.

    In general - This game is very addicting with its plot and you can easily get stuck in it for many hours. The graphics and combat are also up to par. Would I recommend buying it? If you love plots about Japanese history, then certainly!!    … Expand

It's still a really fun and great playstation exclusive. What a great way to end the console generation than with a banger. I will give my full analysis on the game late… Expand

I don’t even know where to start. Movement is not snappy at all - just clunky, climbing and traversing is even worse. Jin will CONSTANTLY be tripping on tiny ledges that are barely raised a few inches above the ground in certain areas (seriously?). Menus look like traditional japanese mixed with sleek modernization that is way overdone.. it just looks corny and reminds me of AC which is so bland. No player agency in the beginning.. they hold your hand through everything. The huge world map is kinda barren.. there are SO FEW ITEMS to find in the world. Enemy variation is really weak. BOTW world is so much deeper — the comparisons are a joke. Combat camera is frustrating (unless you like being hit by things off screen). No lock on... really? Practically no control of the camera or controller settings/mappings. It’s just on rails.. you can do things at your pace and in whatever order you want but once you start a mission it’s just so linear. And the story is intriguing but executed in a very uninteresting way because the characters are just so uninteresting and generic. Nothing new, unique or original here aside for maaaybe the lack of on-screen map and ux stuff which I hate to break it to you... but minor things like that can’t save this game. But I guess in 2020 if you can make a game look rly beautiful then it’ll get rave reviews even if the gameplay is objectively mediocre? Sad. You’re given a horse immediately.. meaning exploration does not feel encouraged which is reinforced by how unrewarding it is because there’s very little variation in what you can find from exploring. Immersion is constantly broken by interruptions of something being on-rails. Lose a fight in the middle of a path? Don’t worry the enemies will literally be gone when you respawn. Infiltrating an enemy camp through the front door? Don’t worry - ever single enemy will conveniently have their backs turned to you at all times. I’m tired of writing but honestly this game is just a mess that I tried so hard to love and the beautiful environment is doing a wonderful job of making loads of people overlook its flaws that make it a game that I am not at all motivated to play... which is sad because I love just about any samurai/ninja/any japanese swordfighting game. ninja gaiden, sekiro, nioh, hell BOTW... they’re all original, have character and are just a better experience. if you want your hand held through a stunningly beautiful 40hr cinematic experience that’s a mechanical “meh” with unexciting characters.. this is the game for you lol.… Expand

    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.

    This year Sony has had some of the best exclusives I've played (FF7 Remake, this game; Ghost of Tsushima) and then some of the worst (The last of us 2). This shows a worrying dichotomy and huge lack of faith in, or growing disonesty from big name journalists (IGN, Polygon, VG 24/7 etc) whom players are meant to trust. Never again will these journalists be trusted; only seen as a joke.

Never again will these journalists be trusted; only seen as a joke. Why? FF7 Remake was scored an 8/10 bizarrely, this brilliant game scored a 9/10, whilst the disastrous and very poor story/characters of TLOU2 gave it a 10?. Ghost of Tsushima far, far surpasses TLOU2, in terms of non linear open world gameplay, solid enjoyable gameplay, combat, physical exploration, some puzzling, and most of all a fantastic story and characters. The visuals are some of the most pretty I've seen alongside RDR2. The combat better than the Witcher by a fair margin (it feels solid and every strike meaningful) there's alot of skills to unlock and even different fighting stances. Plus crafting and generous customizing/gear dying to make the hero Jin Sakai your own. The music and sound effects are done well, and the voice acting very good. The only thing I could honestly fault is the stepping down or dropping (not climbing) from rocks and ledges can be a bit janky. Overall, a fantastic game, probably one of the best Japanese sword games I've played since Tenchu made it's debut on PS1. And a Sony exclusive that washes away the bad memory and journalists lies of TLOU2.… Expand

Devoid of trite, gimmicky, pop politics and shallow, pandering drivel, Ghost of Tsushima is an entertaining adventure set against the idealized, cinematic, world of the Samurai.

    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.
