    This Game tells an amazing story of a samurai going rogue to protect his country and shows how far he is willing to go to achieve his goal. The gameplay is a 10/10 with plenty of mechanics to use and abuse for close and long rage combat and for stealth / head on attack.

    The sceneries are fantastic and the music is on point . It knows when to go wild and when to keep things calm. The game also offered it's players a free online DLC where you and a group of 3 can tackle survival waves or you and 1 more can attack legends in mini missions. Its honestly a game you should definitely check.    … Expand

    I usually find open world games a bit of a bore and struggled to finish Horizon Zero Dawn and it's dlcs due to the game feeling draggy but GOT has really drawn me in and definitely gets my GOTY. I have had no bugs or issues either which after the let down of Cyberflunk is refreshing. I won't even go in chat to play this game as I am so drawn into the story and want to pay attention to it all.

    Now that's how you end a PlayStation generation
    ★★★★★★★★★☆

    Cons-
    Jarring combat camera, no option for wind and particle effect intensity, not the greatest character and animal animations, more variety in random encounters, some obvious yet admittedly hilarious bugs that will likely be ironed out in future updates.

    Summary
    Ghost of Tsushima managed to quickly become one of my most loved games. So much in fact, that I went out my way to pet every fox, climb every shrine and bathe in every hot spring just to platinum it. Sure there are flaws, but there is so much that this game gets right that it is easy to forgive some of these problems as they do not take too much away from the overall experience.    … Expand

    Also - the BEST looking game in HDR. I often have to spend good chunks of time calibrating each game’s HDR levels to go with my older Walmart Samsung - Tsushima is by far the best looking game for HDR and I didn’t have to move any sliders. Everything looks so natural (no too-black blacks and no washed-out, everything-is-in-a-fog look). Shadows, lighting effects - SPOT. ON.

    Particle effects - the best this generation.

    It’s ok. Don’t feel like it really brings anything new to this genre. It’s maybe a slightly better assassins creed. Some cool environments but overdone a bit. They found a cool way to use leaves and colors and put everything into that without much variety. I just couldn’t really get into the story or the gameplay that much.

It doesn’t do anything brand new or exciting, but it is a great story and a really well done game! The combat feels GREAT and fresh and requires patience, skill and understanding of what works against who. The Ghost Weapons add another dynamic to that, there’s LOTS of skills that are useful so it doesn’t feel like you’ve got all of the skills you need early. The game does a good job of changing the combat dynamic throughout the game so it doesn’t get super repetitive. I am not typically a samurai fan, however, this game has made me one. Definitely well worth the money. I am about 25-30 hours into the game and just passed the first act into the second one, granted I’ve been really focusing on leveling my character and completing the side quests for rewards. The one downside or con to this game is that the NPC and side quest dialogue isn’t very compelling visually. The conversation is good, if you close your eyes the dialogue is great, but it doesn’t give you much visually in that aspect. That’s the only con I have so far.

    This is one of the best open-world games ever. Absolutely gorgeous, and if you have surround sound, it's even more amazing. So many unique twists to an open world game that really makes it immersive. The game was inspired by Samurai films, and it shows in a big way. Sucker Punch pulled off a masterpiece for fans of the genre. It doesn't get any better than this.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a perfect send away to this console generation. It has everything that i expected, amazing graphics, good story, fun game-play and amazing sound design. But like this console generation it doesn't do anything especially new or different. But it doesn't have to. I personally loved the story.

But it doesn't have to. I personally loved the story. I never liked samurai movies in the past, but now i can see how they inspired stuff like star wars. The story really pushed me to complete the game, i played it all in Japanese. It worked perfectly, except for lip syncing issues that i barely noticed while reading subtitles. IDK what to say good about it other then it is a very fun game worth playing. That and i loved finding all the inari shrines and doing all the haikus. It never felt like busy work. The open world looks amazing, but there isn't much there other then looks and side objectives(Villagers to rescue ot give you on map side objectives). Onto the bad however. The camera is extremely frustrating. Any time you are indoors it can bug out hindering you from seeing attacks coming your way, killing you sometimes. Button presses do not register sometimes, i went up behind a mongol one time and tried to stealth kill him only for Jin to regularly attack him. I would press the buttons they want me to, to switch stances to fight different enemies but it wouldn't register. The controls can be a bit clunky at times, as there is no lock on feature. The game also starts off extremely hard, but by the end of the game is extremely easy. IDK if it is just because i completed all side objectives, but i played on hardest difficulty and it was still rather easy. The photo mode while nice to have, can get in the way sometimes. As i try to heal only for me to go into photo mode. The controls in general can be a bit of an issue too. As it isn't as tight as assassin creed is now. But for al it does it is an overall enjoyable game worth playing. I really loved the story and the characters the most. The gameplay is also overall enjoyable, but stealth needs a bit more work.… Expand

    This game is criminally underrated! The fact it only has a single point above Death Stranding is absolutely disgraceful! It has such a great story, excellent visuals, it’s fun to explore the island, combat is engaging and challenging at times, has a lot of customization, collectibles, and has extremely fast load times. Support Sucker Punch; they put so much love and effort into this game!

This game is a beautiful send off to the PlayStation 4 and a great follow up for SuckerPunch studios. Bravo ladies and gents, Bravo.

    一般的小任務也有非常多的對話與鋪成，細膩的刻畫每個人物的個性，
    讓每個角色人設都非常的立體也非常飽滿，
    讓本作不單只有畫面漂亮，
    但其實深深蘊藏著日本的文化與精神。

    20 hours into the game and I have never enjoyed slashing combat so much since God of War. Critics don't know how good this is despite the obvious glitches that the game has. If these type of bugs can be removed, a new game plus and camera angle improvements in certain situations. Then we would be having a GoTY for sure.

    I can't stress enough how gorgeous this game is.

    I truly didn't see this coming. Two main things in the game, gameplay and graphics. I've never seen such beautiful landscape in an open world game.

    I use photo mode every 10 minutes and this is a BIG thing, since it's the first time I give a **** about this function.

    The feeling of just contemplating Tsushima is similar to what I had playing The Witcher 3 (especially the last DLC), Red Dead Redemption 2, Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us (these last two don't really count since they're more linear and story driven).

    Gameplay is just fluid (minor bugs that don't kill the experience and are likely to be patched in future updates).
    Combat makes you feel like you're a samurai (haha can't believe I just said this).

    The 4 four stances and how you can learn to change between them during combat feels so baddass.
    Slicing, cutting and killing feels real and brutal. (unlike Assassin's Creed and some other games).
    Starting the game you may feel there's not much in combat, but start upgrading to become Afro Samurai, Batoussai, Sekiro, Isshin Ashina, Genichiro, etc.

    Story so far is a 8,0-8,5, pretty good for an open world title. (I'm still in the beginning, since I'm loving to explore, upgrade, duel and let this immersion take me to all corners pf this island.

    Jin is a great protagonist and a wonderful add to PlayStation's list of amazing characters.

    This game really surprised me, no joke    … Expand

    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.
