    Genuinely my favourite game of all time. Sucker punch blew it out of the park. Beautiful graphics, art style, amazing combat and a great storyline. I cant wait for GoT 2 when the mongols invade tsushima the 2nd time!

Beautifully portrayed and highly accurate historical Japan depicts the tale of a man desperation to protect his homeland and rally those to his cause, You are Jin Sakai - a noble samurai lord caught in a desperateOne man's struggle to abandon his ideals and honorable ways of Bushido, a warrior's code, to embrace the ways of the nefarious and evil assassin, the dark path of the Ninja. Beautifully portrayed and highly accurate historical Japan depicts the tale of a man desperation to protect his homeland and rally those to his cause, You are Jin Sakai - a noble samurai lord caught in a desperate losing battle against an impressive and overwhelming Mongol invasion. The enemy knows the samurai and his tactics, they have modeled their warfare in chaos and dirty tactics, nothing noble about them, and how does one fight when fighting against a foe whose model of war is based in guerrilla tactics?

    You become a member of chaos yourself. A Shinobi. A Tengu Warrior. Ninja.

    This is what a Ghost of Tsushima is all about. Foes and allies will deter from your path, friends and foes will differ on your tactics and the story will take you to twist and turns. The soundtrack will immerse you from the composer of Jet Li's Fearless, and as you embrace the way of the samurai and fight your enemies with honor, the more colorful and brighter the weather will turn.

    The darker and dirtier you dispatch your enemies from the shadows, the way of the ghost, the darker, rainier the weather will turn. Signaling the storm that comes when Jin's Ghost persona is fully embraced, also signaling the historic typhoon that drove and destroyed the Mongol's impeding naval fleet. The divine wind - Kamikaze. All real. All historic. This is Ghost of Tsushima. A better game, no woke drama, no hidden and secret characters or personal agendas, no golf clubbing.

    A deeply satisfying game that TENCHU and SHINOBIDO fans were looking forward too over a decade, what Ubisoft could not or willing to deliver, Sucker Punch did. This is a buy and keeper, with lots of replay value. The Ninja Game you were waiting for in this generation and that few have delivered. Get it.    … Expand

The game make you want to explore the whole area and the graphics are just breathtaking. Gameplay is really good and to be honest the combat is quite challenging in hard mode.

    Sucker Punch knocked it out of the park with this game! It is a moving painting at all times. Any given moment you can stop and get lost at looking and listening to the insanely realized feudal Japan. I never use Photo Mode in games, but I couldn't help myself in this game.

It is a moving painting at all times. Any given moment you can stop and get lost at looking and listening to the insanely realized feudal Japan. I never use Photo Mode in games, but I couldn't help myself in this game.

    It isn't all roses though. There are some short comings. These are my personal short comings, so don't get your panties in a twist.

    1. Climbing animations are weird and janky. I find this so strange with their history of platforming and Uncharted like platforming in prior games.
    2. Deer scream like two year olds EVERY time you startle them. By the end of the game that noise will make you tremble and cringe.
    3. I really really dislike the forced stealth sections. I mean completely stealth no killing in a story mission. Just really brings the pace to a grind.
    4. Resources are too abundant. I was maxed out shortly after the start of Act 2. Sword completely upgraded, all available armor up to that point and all items bought from the Merchant. Playing on Hard. Mind you, I did not have all upgrades to my techniques and all, but the upgrades that cost supplies and predator skins, yeah maxed out by Act 2.
    5. Game is too easy. Once you figure out the enemies and upgrade your ghost weapons enough and have more stances, it is way too easy.
    6. It does fall a little too much on those track footsteps type missions. They started to get long in the tooth by the end. Thank god the writing on the side missions was typically good.
    7. I am shocked by the amount of clipping in a Triple A game. The Travelers Armor cape clips with your sword and arms and legs and it looks really bad most of the time. Your feet clip through inclines in the terrain.

    That might sound like an awful lot, but in reality, in a 40 to 50 hour game, those are really nit picks in an otherwise fantastic game. The 3D audio with a good pair of headphones or sound system is amazing. Hearing the leaves, the wind, the crackling of wood, distant thunder and wind chimes all comes together spectacularly. Now through in an amazing soundtrack, good voice acting on all languages, great story and picture perfect scenery and graphics and you got yourself a masterpiece. Sony really saved this Gem of a game for last and I am glad I got to experience it.

    My total playtime was somewhere around 40 hours. I say this because there is no way to track your game play, but I tried to play in chunks so I could track it. I am a do everything in one area before moving on type of player. I got the Plat Trophy as well. I didn't have much to do after beating the game, but you could leave most if not all side missions to the end, but they are fun and go with the story and you get some great rewards for doing them during the main campaign.

    Fully recommend at full price or on sale. Get this game!    … Expand

Jin is a good main character and the supporting characters are just as good, if not better than him. The main story isn't anything super revolutionary, but its enjoyable and entertaining. Between combat, there are small moments of rest, which include writing a haiku or cutting some bamboo. There are some bugs though, sometimes when you jump off a cliff towards a rock, you might just slide down the whole thing. None of the small bugs I've encountered are gamebreaking and honestly I was laughing the whole time Jin slid down that cliff… Expand

    I love this game. Can't stop playing. I'm so happy Ghost of Tsushima is how the last game of the PS4 is going to be remembered, and not that other game.

    Honestly an amazing game. The story is simple but they fleshed it out so well that it feels like multiple thousand word books. You can really lose yourself in the role as everything you do ties into the original and overarching quest goal. The mechanics are simple but they have enough detail that combat remains fun and exciting. Multiple tools and fighting styles to switch out and get usedHonestly an amazing game.

The mechanics are simple but they have enough detail that combat remains fun and exciting. Multiple tools and fighting styles to switch out and get used to. The other game mechanics such as the wind as a quest marker, and the way the game doesn't hold your hand but instead makes you work for everything you accomplish. The graphics are simply stunning. Sunset, sunrise, and full moons are all the most beautiful times in my opinion, and sometimes I just need to stop and enjoy the beauty of it. I was hoping this game would relieve the pain that a certain failure of a ps4 game caused me, and dang did it ever deliver. I can say a definite masterpiece.… Expand

    Can't speak for realism, but on a 4K TV the visuals are amazing (perhaps some of the detail and animations are not the best), but to date this game provides the best overall visual experience.

The customisation for katana, bow, armor, hat, mask are varied and can change the color too, i like design of the ghost armor and sakai armor. The story is more intelligient and more emotional than TLOU2, in this game I understand the meaning of way of the samurai and their tradition .

    The story is compelling, the music is immersive, combat is fun and most importantly the graphisms are stunningly amazing.
    I would summarize my experience with this game in one word: fun. Unlike a certain company that decided to make a divisive game based on not having fun and destroying everything.

    The best samurai game in a long time and a great fun for all, who love action. Love for Japan and its history is a big plus, but its knowledge is not necessary to enjoy every minute of this beautiful game. [Issue#305]

    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.
