    Direção artística absolutamente fantástica.
    Combate visceral e viciante. Personagens bons, nada de extraordinário mas mtooo bons, e o protagonista tem uma ótima construção. Exploração do mapa é um dos pontos fortes, já que a ambientação é extremamente boa. Missões secundárias interessantes.

    The game looks and feels amazing. Great graphics, color and contrast. Combat is better than most games out there including SW: Fallen Order. The game is a Big Update on all open world games. Its innovative and removes the minimap for a cool new feature.

    Game is one of the best games out there right now if not the best this year has seen.

    I completed the main missions of the first island and now I am doing all exploration and activities left before moving to second island.

    With that said, Ghost of Tsushima is the open world game I didn't know I needed. All the recent Ubisoft titles made Open world games super tiresome for me, the same formulas repeated over and over again.

    Sucker's Punch Ghost of Tsushima completed refreshed the genre. Combat is the strongest point of the game, it has some similar characteristics to the one found in Batman series, Spider-Man (2018) or even older Assassin's Creed titles, but the combat system here is refined at its finest, most of the bossfights (duels) are spectacular, remembering the thrill of From's Souls series, Sekiro in particular.

    Visuals are gorgeous, I was never a fan of photo mode in other games, but in GoT I used it for capturing amazing moments, you'll find yourself staring at the beautiful landscape while exploring.
    Exploration is good thanks to the almost non-existent indicators in the screen, you can remove even more with Expert Mode (which I did). All these factors combined means that you are actually looking at what is happening in the world, not some mini-map (learn Rockstar).

    Side activities are actually interesting, you're always getting something from what you do. The variety of these activities is not really big, but to me it works, because I like doing all of them.

    Sound and soundtrack are amazing, they know the balance of sound and silence. Japanese themed songs are great.

    The weakest point of the game is the campaign story. It's not bad, but at least for now it's bland and from what I've heard, it's just ok. Some people will not like this aspect but I don't bother because when I play open world games like this, the campaign is what I'm least interested at.

    Sucker Punch learned all the wrongs of past open world titles and created one of the best of PS4.
    Ghost of Tsushima is a must PS4 title.

    Ubisoft, here's what you should be doing in your games, just learn.    … Expand

    I don’t get the negativity, I really don’t. To me and in my opinion, this is truly fantastic. It’s exactly what I had been looking for with an open world game. The side stories and main story are captivating while the combat is fun yet forgiving. Not even to mention how god damn beautiful this game is. Well done everyone involved in the creation of this game!

Although, I enjoyed it, I can see why some people would have issues, saying it’s the same revenge plot as always. However, it’s more about the adventure and building an army to fight for home. Jin doesn’t seem to have a ton of personality, although I found this reasonable as he was taught from a young age to control his emotions. Overall, I’d give the game a 10/10 score.

The minimalistic HUD and guiding wind are so tastefully done, and it works so perfectly with the world you’re thrown into. The inner turmoil of our protagonist, Jin, is exactly how you would feel a samurai would react to what needs to be done. It’s seriously the most beautiful game I have ever seen. If there is anything bad I could say about the game, it would be that I wish the Japanese VO matched the lips better. I think the voice actors did a great job in English though.

    Amazing game, I had high hopes for it and it exceeded them. I love it all around, not 100% historically accurate but a great representation of feudal japan. So many things to explore, smart way of guiding the player with the wind and animals like birds and foxes instead of out of place shining line on a minimap or on the ground.

    A masterpiece. Sucker Punch has turned quests that we're all tired of from other open-world games into actual storylines in the form of tales. What you do in Ghost of Tsushima's world doesn't feel like chores. Sucker Punch knows how to make games that are fun. Ghost of Tsushima is fun. Period.

    If this is your first foray into Sucker Punch games, it is highly recommended you try their Infamous franchise. Even the first Infamous still holds up in spite being a console generation old.

    This studio is very good with small details that reduce player fatigue i.e. removing animation for item pickup (I can tell games that will follow might copy this...remember Horizon? I love that game, gave it a 10, but picking up items was a drag) to more granular details like enemy AI looking back at a fallen comrade you just killed! Ungh just so good, Sucker Punch! Your attention to detail is delicious.

    Also, very smart use of budget. We all know facial animation is expensive to pull off, and so Sucker Punch pulled the camera back and highlighted the environment whilst exposition drawled. From a business standpoint, that is a good solution to budget constraints whilst keeping with the theme of Japanese cinema where most expositions and dialogue are surrounded by a sprawling environment.

    We love you, Sucker Punch. You make us proud.    … Expand

    Beautiful open world where you can enjoy without any UI distraction (out of combat). Minimal UI during combat. Combats are fun and upgrading skills is so appealing because they are so cool! You are a hero in this game and it makes you feel good. Interesting details all over the place.

    This game makes you feel like a 13th century samurai. While not 100 percent pure and accurate to history it is by far the best samurai game to ever grace the video game genre. Think RDR2 but samurai. Perfect on nearly every level.

    Ghost of Tsushima is definitely a GOTY tier game and a perfect game to close out the PS4 era. Sucker Punch outdid themselves here from the amazing graphics, great story and super smooth samurai gameplay, they did everything right. The first thing was the graphics, I feel like other than a few animations not lining up or generic, repeated gestures, the overall presentation was great!

Sucker Punch outdid themselves here from the amazing graphics, great story and super smooth samurai gameplay, they did everything right. The first thing was the graphics, I feel like other than a few animations not lining up or generic, repeated gestures, the overall presentation was great! In terms of the story and historical accuracy, they did place a few things in the game that weren't invented yet like the hwacha and the haiku but those are mere small things that although aren't historically accurate, still adds depth to the game's overall things to do as well as immersive universe. The story is dark and grim the whole way through but Jin Sakai has that type of personality that makes me want to keep seeing the story through. My only complaint is that there's a lack of cutscenes outside the main story missions but the few ones that are in the game are absolutely amazing and makes me feel like I'm there in the game with those characters, feeling the pain and loss they've all felt because of the Mongol invasions. Lastly, the gameplay is perfect for a free roaming light RPG. The types of fighting styles allow some versatility and break the monotony between simple enemies to more complex ones but I wish there were some specific combos. What makes these game developers also great is that they surprised EVERYONE with the announcement of a FREE multiplayer/Co-Op experience that was planned from the beginning but kept under wraps.… Expand

    This game in my opinion is definitely a game of the year contender. The graphic isn’t the best at time, however the color choice they use for the environment really makes it’s extremely beautiful. Combat is difficult, which I do enjoy. This is not a hack and slash, as you have to be methodical with your attacks, but when you take out a group of mongol, you feel like a samurai doing so.This game in my opinion is definitely a game of the year contender.

The open world isn't the largest in my opinion, but definitely keeps you entertained. The story line so far isn’t to bad, I’m taking my time doing the side quest as this game is fun, so I really don’t want it to end. The stealth is all right, definitely not greatest, but that doesn’t make the game is any less fun. So if you’re looking for a very good open world samurai game, do yourself a favor and pick this game up. It’s worth it.… Expand

    Cool game there is this dude with a sword and mong holes and they are pretty lame but the dus with the sword stabs them then he gets all sad cause he stabbed them in a different way from the way he was supposed to stab them but it's okay cause then he likes the new way of stabbing them and thinks it's epic, that's pretty much it.

    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.
