    Absolutely a blast to play; such a fantastic swan song for the PS4. From the minimal HUD, to the absolutely incredible sense of exploration, there hasn’t been a more fun game to explore since Breath of the Wild.

    What can I say: beyond my expectations!
    Graphically beautiful.
    The Game-play is easy to learn and well mastered. The soundtrack is just Fabulous. (Masaka Dono theme is just WoW) The story is well written, I did not get bored even once even in with the little stories. A very realistic open world with no unnecessary or inconsistent corners. Tsushima Island was very pleasant to walk.    What can I say: beyond my expectations!

    Tsushima Island was very pleasant to walk.
    The characters, how not to speak about it, Shimura, Masako-dono, Ishikawa Sensei, Taka ... Yuna ... all equally charismatic with their own character, inhabitants of Tsushima, it was gratifying to follow their stories.
    It has been a long time since I had such a great gaming experience.

    Amazing. I played 4 hrs at release, and 16 hrs the next day. I'm an old gamer, And I completely lose track of time in this game, it has me intrested and engaged. I noticed the real negative low score professional critics were full of bunk. Even if you really didn't like this game it's still at least a 75 or 80.

A vast world designed for curiosity and exploring is a great start for any single player game, and don't worry about the visuals because it's got some of the best visuals ever for a game. although you will see a few dips in quality and framerate on the base PS4 it still looks and plays just fine. My biggest overall flaw with the game would have to be some of the stealth missions, they became annoying at times and took away from the otherwise great pace of the game. I'm not allowed to talk spoilers however I'm still blown away by those final fights, the game does something that isn't utilized in many other games for a final fight and although it's an emotionally tough fight, it's worth it. If the last of us 2 was like Thanos, an amazing game making you feel evil, this is like Thor, an amazing game making you feel like a hero. GOT is a better game than the entire Assassins Creed series and Assassins Creed fans should feel right at home giving it a playthrough. Overall, Sucker punch did a wonderful job and Sony got a great final exclusive for one of the best consoles ever. I'd give it a 91/100 and I sure hope the ps5 gets a 60fps version and a sequel one day.… Expand

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 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

    Good Enough game. First off the graphics are gorgeous, the world of tsushima is thriving with colour and is just begging to be explored. The exploration is good with interesting side activities to find like the fox dens and the shrines. The combat is weighty and feels fun although gets a little repetitive towards the end as most of the combat styles and upgrades are unlocked early on. TheGood Enough game.

The armour sets are cool and styling out jin your own way is great. However my biggest problem and what really holds this game from being a potential 9 or 10/10 is the story and the quests. I'll be straight up I would say maybe 1 or 2 missions in the entire game really grabbed me. The side missions are boring and not engaging but what really sucks is that the tales missions and the main story missions are the same. The main villian of the game is bland and uninteresting. The only good thing is the relationship between Jin and Lord Shimura but this is a small part of the overall experience. Overall a fun enough time that needed a better script… Expand

I felt for other characters too but they weren't present during main cut scenes that often for me to care enough about them. Cut scenes lack production value. You can clearly see the distinction between an important cut scene done with mocap and other cut scenes running purely on game's engine. Those other cut scenes look horrible and I'm wondering if fade in/out effect used so often in the game was implemented just so the game could load faster during an open world. Either way that was really annoying. Finally, birds and foxes shouldn't have appeared so often. It takes away the feeling of being rewarded when done so frequently.… Expand

    1: Japanese dub missing lipsync, had to play it in English in the end since it was driving me crazy
    2: Japanese voice sounds great but is too anime for me, the dialogue should be toned-down to reflect a less anime style and a more realistic tone.
    3: Minor score decrease due to some activities that tended to be a little repetitive but they pushed you to explore and view the wonderful world that SP created (I have made more screenshots than ever ~2 GB).

Сюжет довольно интересный, несмотря на то, что в нём ничего необычного и уникального особо и нет (речь идёт о неожиданных сюжетных поворотах или сильной привязанности к персонажам). Побочные задания от второстепенных персонажей тоже весьма увлекательные. Боёвка по мере прохождения игры постоянно развивается, из-за чего игра становится еще более захватывающей, со временем она не надоедает. Отдельного упоминания заслуживают локации, которые задают определённую атмосферу и выглядят очень красочно, не смотря на не такую уж и хорошую графику и даже с ней игра умудряется проседать, а консоль начинает сильно шуметь. Так же, мне очень понравилась система навигации, ничего лишнего, никаких меток, выглядит минималистично, но иногда возникают трудности, я такого раньше не встречал, но эта система мне очень понравилась.К сожалению, в глаза сильно бросаются движения персонажей, они выглядят очень нереалистично, что портит впечатление от игры.

    I thought Cyberpunk will be my GOTY but now it kind of has a mountain to climb to beat this game. It will make you fall in love with Japanese culture and traditions, I am currently devouring Akira Kurosawa’s movies.

    A must buy for any PS4 user.    … Expand

    - I would like the ability remove the bow from equipped weapons or store it on the horse. This is a personal thing, I think as it is it break the immersion to be jumping on roofs with a heavy samurai armour and a long bow equipped..

    - This is due to hardware limitations most likely, but the graphics quality in the final game is lesser than the one showcased in the first (Masako) gameplay reveal. I really hope SP will take advantage of the ps5 power and patch this product of love and passion to unleash its maximum beauty.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is basically "The Witcher 3" of feudal Japan, every quest, even the optional ones are totally animated and each has a different story to tell. The graphics look amazing and the combat is top notch, with weighty blows and tons of technics to learn.

The world is detailed and inspired, characters are extremely well written and their stories are interesting.

    It's not short of flaws though. The game feels overall too easy even on hard difficulty and does not encourage you to use the full kit of moves and gadgets at your disposal. I'm played almost to the end with the initial clothing that improves your scouting range and offers no protection without any issue.

    The horse is really bad. Not Skyrim bad, but after RDR2 I would expect something more. It has no collisions, can't be hurt or killed, can't trample enemies or animals, can't crash into a tree, nothing. It also jumps on high cliffs like it is nothing, which is a bit unrealistic. It also has the usual "comes out of your ass" mechanic when you call it, which only RDR2 managed to avoid so far.

    The AI during stealth phases is plain dumb. You just kill someone from afar with bow/bombs, then hide a bit, rinse and repeat until everyone is dead. There is no actual need to use the assassination skill or anything else.

    Overall I would recommend it because despite its shortcomings it manages to keep you glued to the screen and to keep on exploring both the world and the characters stories.    … Expand

Надеюсь у «Призрака Тсусимы» будут свои DLC и/или продолжения, ибо не хочется терять такой потрясающий, забытый многими геймплей, а тем более в таком сеттинге, и не стоит сравнивать игру с серией assassin’s creed, всё-таки это самобытное произведение, которое отсылает к старым сериям (tenchu, bushido blades и т.д.) больше, чем к серии Юбиков.

Lethal almost completely defeats the purpose of upgrading and investing in stance skills, charms, and combos for your sword, so I suggest playing on hard. Once you stagger them on lethal, they’re done. Also, the lighting is horrible and blinding, at parts (pause screen especially). The duels are the only parts that actually challenged me. This isn’t to say it’s a blast to play and has a decent story. The side missions all feel like they matter and give you insight on the bigger picture of how this invasion affected everyone. The historical accuracy and timeline of this game is really cool. There’s so many moments where I just take in the immaculate beauty and take multiple screenshots. The photo mode is very very good. This game is what Assassin’s creed wishes it was. I really think it’s worth the full price and would suggest this to any player, just don’t go into it thinking you’re going to get a big challenge.… Expand

    Almost every positive point also had a negative side:

    - Wind navigation. Innovative but at the same time annoying that you have to continuously swipe the D-pad in order to see your goals and destination. Also, no distinction is made in height and depth
    - Collecting was never so easy without the animations but at the same time it didn't feel satisfying Because the collectables looked all the same
    - Deep combat which makes it worth playing but a world full of the same boring quests which made it unnecessary for me to explore the side quest and stories
    - A beautiful story that represents the honor and culture of the samurai very well, but at the same time there was a lack of cinematic creativity except for some of the main missions
    - The game very often skips animations or scenes where you expect it to be better polished

    Now this seems all negative, but of course there is a lot more the game has to offer:

    + The world is the real star of this game.
    + Wind and particles ... everywhere.
    + Soundtrack is fantastic
    + User interface design is very nice
    + The feeling of the atmosphere and culture is great

    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.
