    GoT is one of the most beautiful games I have ever played. The art direction is incredible. The gameplay is fantastic, and the sword fighting is one of the best I've seen in a game.

    This game is a God damn Masterpiece! The world of Tsushima is so beautiful and is so diverse that there are so many beautiful landscapes that are not at all like other. It is so good that I purposefully waste time in the game so that I doesn’t end. You just have to play.

Unfortunately it's brought down by the fact that it is an open world and has a lot of busy work. It's not as bad as other open world games as the side activities are fun, but it can feel like there's too much to do at times. Also story is for the most part just fine. It's not anything special and the best parts don't come until much later in the game. Overall it's a great game. If you want a fun samurai game to play then I would highly recommend this.… Expand

    I'm really enjoying this game as I missed the old Way Of The Samurai games, even though this is not the same it's a very good replacement for that game. I'm hoping this leads to a way of the samurai revival. This game has wonderful graphics and I really enjoy the gameplay.

    I want to start by saying that this game does many things well. The environmental graphics are beautiful. Sometimes I found myself looking at how the sun penetrates the misty air. The combat is quite fun with this intense Japanese battle music pushing you further. Some action sequences were so intense and vibrant I couldn't stop saying "wow".

Sometimes I found myself looking at how the sun penetrates the misty air. The combat is quite fun with this intense Japanese battle music pushing you further. Some action sequences were so intense and vibrant I couldn't stop saying "wow". And the premise is pretty interesting, watching an honorable samurais' descent into dishonor. But all of this is drowned out by its severe repetitiveness. The story is predictable and unoriginal, the combat is so repetitive it gets so boring, the open world aspect of it is unnecessary and simple, the side quests are just the same thing repeated over and over, and the dialogue looks like two robots are talking to each other. There are more mistakes than this but I think these are the most important. Let me explain.
    1. The story
    The story has a good premise but it does it in the most unoriginal way. They don't get you invested in most of the characters, for example Norio. I hated Norio, he just complained and complained, and the voice is the most annoying thing, and when I finished his emotional side quests I breathed a sigh of relief because I didn't want to be with him anymore.
    2. The Combat
    This is one of the best parts of the game, there are some times when I was laughing it was so much fun, the music is pushing you forward to do these awesome combos. But it repeats. Again. And again. And again. The stealth gets so boring and the unstealth combat is just the same. They introduce new weapons and skills, but you use them a couple of times then it gets stale again. After 30 hours you wish it had more to add, but you only get one new weapon every time you max out your honor, then after 5 times of maxing out, you get nothing.
    3. Open World
    This is the worst part of this game. It has no reason to be open world. There are only 9 types of discoverable locations in the giant island. There is no reason to exploring when there are only 9 things. Every time I think im going to find something cool its always a fox den, or a haiku. Another thing, usually in other open world games everything is interactive, you can do what you want to the npc's, you can find so many types of locations, so many different missions, different weapons that do different things. In this game is you explode a bomb in a crowd of people they will fall around and scream for a little and then go back to what they were doing like nothing happened. You only get 4 main weapons. 4. compare to wild hunt, gta v, red dead 2, where you have hundreds of weapons to choose from. The random encounters are boring and make exploring a pain. There are only a couple types of resources to collect while exploring while in other games like rdr2, you can collect anything and in the witches 3 with hundreds of ingredients. Everything is simplified to the simplest form which disappoints me.
    4. Side quests
    the side quests are boring and uninspired, they are so similar and provide you with little reward for going out of your way to do them.
    5. Dialogue
    This reminds me of horizon zero dawn where the dialogue was so stiff and robotic it made me want to kill myself. The main character, Jin, talks in one tone and doesn't really laugh or do anything a likable character does. In games like this its good to have a character that you can at least relate to in even the tiniest way, but Jin is a legend who has everything given to him and never smiles. I am being a bit aggressive and overreacting, but it is still a problem.

    Those are the main problems but there are more. This isn't a bad game, it just isn't anything special. I still enjoyed my time playing and had so much fun in some parts, but there were many times where I had no fun at all.    … Expand

The game surprised me in many ways, from its beautiful environments, surprisingly solid story, and lifelike open world. This game is truly a love letter to the latest generation of the Playstation, and an amazing look forward of what's to come.

    PROS
    Graphics - Beautiful landscapes and scenery
    Story - A seemingly generic tale that was thoroughly entertaining
    Combat - One of the main draws to the game, and it did not disappoint, with the variety of tactics one can use
    Open World - Many things to do in the large, lifelike island of Tsushima

    CONS
    Choppiness - The game is, at parts, rough around the edges. It's not usually distracting, but can be noticeable at times
    Repetition - As with many open world games, repetition can lead to tedium. Be sure to diversify the open world activities that you do

    Overall, I rate the game a 9 out of 10 and would consider it along the lines of a masterpiece. It's a top 10 open world game in my book and I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game from every part is amazing from graphics to story to the traveling and gameplay it’s all amazing

    Story: The story is great giving lessons on not blindly following because your told to, this is showed in jins story of his inner struggle to either do what he knows he must to save the island or what his Samurai rules tell him to do, which can be powerful, the side quests are surprisingly on the same level as the story even having more Emotional moments at times, I would recommend doing the evolving side quests which progress along with the story Gameplay: The katana fighting is amazing, the stances bring an interesting take on this partying system helping you break the enemies guard depending on which enemy type they are, there is only one issue with the gameplay and that is combat or even the general being inside small huts our houses as the walls and objects inside get in front of your screen and can get you killed, this also happens with big bushes, trees or objects in front of your camera, this can be an issue at times and is the only big issue I had with the game. Not having small animations when picking up items is refreshing as it does not waste time when trying to jump in the action as quick as possible, and at times makes playing a lot easier as riding on your horse you can pick up everything on your journey Graphics: The graphics are amazing with the vibrant colours of the environment and small detail in trees and grass, although the game doesn’t focus on the small human features as much such as perfectly defined faces, I think what they’ve done has more importance than that.

    Overall: The game is near perfect only having one or two issues that don’t define what the game is and can be fixed with game patches and updates, I’m giving the game a 9.6/10 but I can’t as there is only a 9 or a 10 option and 9.6 is closer to 10 so that is my score    … Expand

I'm sure most agree that Ghost of Tsushima has the most beautiful environment ever seen in a video game. The only place I was a little disappointed was in the lack of variety in boss movesets, but I guess there's only so much you can do with a katana/sword.

Everything in this game is awesome, beautiful, or stupidly well written, Sucker Punch did it again, they made me cry with the ending. It's such a beautiful moment, that really embraces everything the game was about, it makes the game feel completed. Gameplay is pretty standard, i wouldn't say it´s groundbreaking and does things very differently, but its not like some have said that it is a lot like Assassin´s Creed, anyone that says that, played AC once and that´s it, and it's coming from an AC fan, and even then the best one it's not even close to GoT. That being said, simplicity once again outperforms complex gameplay. Some people think that the main focus of a game should be the gameplay, and i feel its just wrong, neither is the story the center of it all, you can have either without the other, and that's a balance GoT has mastered to perfection, cause the main drive isn't for you to experience a never seen before gameplay, bu to experience the conflict, story, and battles as much as possible. Story wise its perfect, its a 10/10 in those regards, excellent writing, excellent performances, and excellent characters, just like Infamous Second Son, Sucker Punch have delivered a masterpiece in storytelling and character development. So....why not 10/10? Mainly because of bugs, repetitive scenarios near the end, i mean it still looks beautiful, the art is always amazing, but i feel the last territory isnt as spectacular as the first 2. There is also some side quests that aren't really that interesting, and you can easily lose focus on it rapidly, however gameplay for all of this have an amazing pacing going from story, to battles. GoT is definitely the best game of this year, a true masterpiece we should all give them a huge round of applause to Sucker Punch, Sony should definitely invest more money and faith in them, can't wait to see what they bring next… Expand

After how big of a let down the last of us 2 was it’s a breath of fresh air to play a game with such an amazingly original story, gorgeous scenery, and unbeatable gameplay! If you plan on getting this game clear a week or two out of your schedule because it’ll be difficult to put the controller down.

The honorable ending is so powerful and soul crushing. The story is fantastic with memorable characters and story lines. The graphics and open world setting is beautiful. Every mission or activity feels purposeful and fulfilling. Following golden birds for important upgrades and gear is so neat. It’s like fate guiding you to a specific area of significance. I saved to perform both endings and they are fantastic. One with honor and another with pride. This will be one of the most memorable games I’ll play for the PS4. It definitely deserves game of the year. I hope I’m not spoiling anything. If you haven’t played this, you need to go to wherever its is you get games and get it. So dumb, and I’m talking absolutely idiotic, that the meta score scored this lower than The Last of Us. It’s a joke. You need to play this. You will love it.… Expand

Sucker Punch delivers on its best game to date. Ghost of Tsushima is not perfect but deserves the 10. It has a story that engages you, combat that is unrivaled, and graphics that look like a next-gen title.

    The more I played the more and more I fell in love with the feel and atmosphere this game offers. It has slower methodical pace, like people in feudal Japan would have lived, and yet there are excitement and wonder around every corner. This is the first open-world game I have played in a while where I felt like the side missions actually added to and complimented everything you are trying to accomplish in the game. I felt connected not only to the characters, but also the world they lived in . Combat is so smooth and easy to do, but takes time and effort to master, especially in the later stages and higher difficulty settings. The standoff system grows with you as enemies try to fake you out to get you to jump to soon, what a touch.

    It is of course not without it's flaws. A lack of a lock-on system in combat is not game-breaking, yet I sometimes found myself struggling to hit the person I wanted in larger crowds of enemies. The enemy AI in the game for stealth is at times laughable....like standing up from the tall grass, in front of an enemy, using my bow to kill his partner and then ducking back in the grass, and he loses track of me instantly like I was never there. I really wanted there to be a choice system like other sucker punch games, and I can see why they might want to do something different, but I think it really would have added to the way you play the game...as your legend grows.

    This game is easily the best game I have played in the last two years and only comes in a close second to God of War for best PS4 exclusive ever. I really hope that this is not a one-off game, as there is so much they can do with sequels in this games. PS4 can end its cycle with honor after this wonderful journey.

    It's not a problem, with good timings, it's enjoyable a lots to attack then defend counter.. The problem is from the number of attack type, only 3 or 4 attack possible, it would be much better with 10 or 15 attacks types like side fronts cutting heads ect, all this really miss on the game and that make all combat repetitive. I think, dev doesn't got time to really finish all aspects of the game, that what i can taste/sense when i play, it could be really better.. Anyway, this is still really enjoyable and exploring, stories is good to play, no worries. But something miss to be perfect. At 40 $ is the good price. We must be more patient and give more time to developers to finish their games, stop only counting on money.. That sad.    … Expand

Sin ser tope gráfico, demuestra como aún después de 7 años una consola puede ofrecer mucho de si misma.

    Combate:
    Al principio es simple, pero con el progreso de nuestro samurai desbloquearemos 4 posturas de combate, cada una especializada en un conjunto de enemigos. Estas posturas tendrán su propio árbol de habilidades, como así también tendremos un árbol tanto para el camino del samurai como para el camino del shinobi. En este apartado me gustaría añadir que nuestra Leyenda crecerá en la Isla conforme vayamos liberando pueblos, ayudando a los ciudadanos, y derrotando jefes y elites mongoles.

    Banda Sonora:
    Es sencillamente hermosa, dándole ese toque japones a cada rincón de la Isla de Tsushima. Mérito a parte, se agradece que a pesar de ser un estudio occidental se hayan tomado el trabajo de doblar el juego en japonés y en latino.

    Historia:

    Esta muy bien llevada, poniéndonos en la piel de Jin Sakai, uno de los últimos Samurais sobrevivientes a la invasión Mongola. Nuestro viaje constará en reunir fuerzas aliadas en toda la isla para lograr expulsar a los invasores de la isla. En nuestro viaje tendremos 24 misiones principales, 7 cadenas de misiones con relatos de Leyendas del floklore japones muy bien elaboradas y con la obtención de habilidades únicas y poderosas, y 60 misiones secundarias ( de las cuales al menos un tercio de ellas son muy divertidas y épicas).

    Exploracion:
    Como ocurrió con Zelda BoTW, el juego nos invita a perdernos por la isla y aprovechar esa inmersión de casi no tener interfaz ni indicadores en pantalla. Guiándonos por el viento y los animales que nos llevaran siempre a coleccionables o templos. Sin duda un placer ver un juego que no te lleva de la mano en todo momento, y te permite que tomes tu propio rumbo para recuperar tu tierra natal.

    La única critica negativa que podría considerar en el título, es que al no contar con una fijación de objetivo puede haber momentos al comienzo del juego que en combates con un grupo de enemigos en el que la cámara nos lleve una mala pasada. Para los que no suelan usar esta función en otros juegos no tendrán problemas, y los que si al cabo de unas horas de combates uno ya domina ese aspecto.

    Resumen:
    Sin duda un Must Have de esta generación y un gran broche de oro para Playstation 4 como último exclusivo de la consola. 9.5/10    … Expand

The side quests are the enjoyable so far though. The combat is good, but a little clunky. Nothing really innovative. Same goes for the stealth mechanics. For me there are two big downsides. The first being the camera positioning during combat. You have to control it with the right thumbstick instead of auto locking on enemies. It has caused me to take damage I otherwise wouldn’t have because of an enemy I couldn’t see off to the side or behind me. I’m actually a fan of games without “auto-locking”, but others have implemented it far better. The second issue is the touchpad controls, which can cause you to “emote”. There have been too many times where I have randomly started paying respects to random objects and people. The worst is when a mongol is in mid swing and all of the sudden you place your hands together and bow to him haha. Not so much the games fault, but rather my big fingers. I still wish there was an option to disable it. The controller might not like my big fingers, but in other aspects of life they have come in handy so I guess I’ll let it slide … Expand

    This adventure (it is not doing it justice calling GoT a game), was finally what I needed as a history buff and especially of Japan's history.

    Parkour puzzles are simple but still can make you wander around. Combat is the highlight. Knowing about the ghost action, as mentioned in the beginning I was again in disbelief, another boring stealth mechanic.

    But really there is a ton of times when as a stand out samurai I would go to stealth to dwindle the numbers first as until you progress far enough into better technique and tools its suicide storming the gates of mongol camps.

    The game naturally guides you from honorable combat to the dishonorable as a way of the warrior. Be like water,flow .


    I have yet moooore to play still in act 1.But was playing almost all side missions and it doesn't feel like a grind and I hate grind in games. That is, if you can find these side missions and you can't unless you explore. Now we come to exploring. You can remove even the standard minimal hud and you won't be stucked searching. The wind and the animals are there to help you and to enjoy in the esthetic peaceful countryside of Tsushima.

    I have very little almost to none to complain about the game except I want it never to end.
    Kurosawa mode is stunning and sounds are even more pronounced like the wind in all his movies. The only reason I stopped using Kurosawa mode is that I don't have high end TV or monitor and it is difficult for me to not miss details in the game.    … Expand

    Next, the gameplay. The game features two fighting styles, Samurai (Katanas Blazing lol) and Ghost (Stealth), there are no restrictions you can mix and match as you like. Each style has its own skills to unlock, as well as a lot of variety to how you can take on different types of enemies using stances which also have their own skills. Then there are charms which are passive skills you can equip. Along the variety of the stances there is also variety to the ghost style which has its own skill tree, let's just say there are plenty of skills to go around and unlock and the great thing about it is that you will get all of those lovely skills and enjoy your way to get them because of how fun the combat is and the great side quests to do, I did not feel like it was a drag instead I wanted more. Furthermore, you can use the bow and some more weapons you can unlock as you progress the story. You will have plenty of ways to take on enemies, you might even neglect some because there are so many and you might grow a preference to some over the other, but trying new weapons and mixing them with your gameplay every time will always be equally fun.

    There hasn't been too many games where I am going somewhere and I see a patrol or an enemy camp and the first thought I get every time even at the end of the game is that this is going to be good, the combat is so enjoyable I can't get enough I am always fighting whichever enemies come across me or I come across them. I played the game about %60 Samurai and %40 Ghost, the AI could be better in some sections when going stealth and the camera might get in your way sometimes.

    The duels are another great feature of the game, basically they are the boss fights and they're so much enjoyable. I wish in a future update they would let us replay them, at least the ones in the open world.

    If I had to give you a feel to how the combat is from games you might have played, I would say Sekiro combat + Nioh combat and a sprinkle of Batman combat and there you go Ghost of Tsushima combat.

    Crafting, upgrading and customization, they're all done the right way, no restrictive levels or you can't use this until you reach this rank etc. If you have the materials and the supplies to craft/upgrade whatever you want guess what you can, yes you can get a lot done in just the first act of the game that you might fear to become overpowered but don't worry as you progress the enemies will be challenging, I will not lie I did hold off some of the sword upgrades/ skills that makes killing enemies faster until the final act because I wanted the fights to last longer due to how fun they are. I also didn't use the ghost weapons willy-nilly until the final act as well due to the same fact. Overall, it is up to you and there are no restrictions on you, if you feel you are becoming overpowered you can hold off some skills/upgrades until the final act in which you will feel comfortable with all of the upgrades and skills.
    You balance yourself out and if that's still too easy just play on Lethal difficulty.

    The customization, you can unlock them all in-game, the way all games should be instead of bloated skins’ stores that are after every penny you've got. Moreover, the armors you unlock all have their own passive skills for each type of armor/outfit,
    The soundtrack is simply wonderful I loved it and the voice acting was great.

    Finally, the story, I have enjoyed the story and the characters all the way to the end, loved the character development and the back stories of the supporting characters as well, likewise there is some good lore.

    Overall, a very enjoyable experience through and through, I can't wait until SuckerPunch adds in new game+ to have another go at it. I would recommend it to avid 3rd person lovers that enjoy sword combat. I think you will like the game if you like AC franchise, Sekiro,The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima has one of the most beautiful landscapes in all of open world gaming. Combined with a fun yet challenging combat which almost never gets old, interesting characters and intriguing side quests mixed in with the well game main story makes this world shine among others.

    I really couldn’t care less about Japanese/Samurai culture, I’ve just never been into it, and definitely thought I would have preferred something like Red Dead 2. However, this game is shaping up to be one of my favorites of all time. I’m only about halfway done, but I can assure that this game is just insanely good. The combat is unique and the stand-off mechanic is legendary.

However, this game is shaping up to be one of my favorites of all time. I’m only about halfway done, but I can assure that this game is just insanely good. The combat is unique and the stand-off mechanic is legendary. The music is calming and the game looks masterful. I have over 25 screenshots saved cause it’s just that damn pretty. Every frame is a painting. Above all, it’s just a fun game. Enjoyable, yet fufilling and somewhat new as well. I’m gonna be honest, there’s not a ton of unique features in this game, but my enjoyment is so high that I really don’t care. There’s a lot of open world games just on PS4 (Horizion, Spiderman, RDR2, this game), but they all have vastly different settings (Post-apocalypse, New York, Wild West, Japan) to the point where they’re all worth playing. This is probably one of the best of those games and wouldn’t be surprised if it becomes a classic.… Expand

    Very cinematic and beautful. The story is engaging with flash backs to create a history for the character so he is nore believable and you can relate to him . Its not about being historically accurate. Its about entertaiment and grasping the feel and essence of that period of being a samurai. Video games are about immersion and playability.

    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.
