    Best PS4 game I've ever played. Don't compare it to Far Cry. The open world is absolutely stunning and immersive. The side quests push character development and are legitimately interesting. What a great game.

    I absolutely LOVE this game! The parrying, the blocking, the awesome story, swordplay and gameplay and it’s just so...BEAUTIFUL to look at. Sometimes I just sit and stare at the Japanese beauty of Ghost of Tsushima. The mysticism and spiritual feel is special. It doesn’t hold your hand. If you mess up it’s YOUR FAULT. You just have to get BETTER. BRAVO to Sucker Punch for this MASTERPIECEI absolutely LOVE this game!

    Great sword play and mechanics, challenging combat. Story is good and not filled with forced SJW narrative. Graphics are amazing, and loading times are so fast, even on old ps4 concole. My top 5 game to this date!

    This is just an amazing game. An epic journey from start to finish with great gameplay and good story / characters. The SP team did an amazing job and truly, I believe this game deserves the GOTY 2020.
    True, it has some flaws but they are just minimal.

    I wish for an upcoming update with New Game+ in the feature.

    Gameplay:
    They really did an amazing job with the gameplay, you are free to explore a beautifully crafted and vast world that keeps you busy for a long time, there's plenty of side-quests and things to discover that has nothing to do with the story but is always a treat to find.
    The combat works amazingly well and feels great to play as your slash through your enemies. The game also has great voice acting for both English and Japanese, though the japanese voices are not lip synced it still sounds great.

    There are a few bugs that can occur, but this is to be expected in a big open-world game and doesn't negatively affect the game as a whole. Overall an amazing experience and one of the best games of 2020 if not the best.    … Expand

Spoiler free for those deciding to buy or not.I signed up for Metacritic as an casual reviewer just to praise this game and get the word out that this will be one of the best gaming experiences many will have, period. This is not an exaggeration. The game will knock your socks off! Be fore warned this is a long review, but def worth the read as it details what this game has done right! Spoiler free for those deciding to buy or not.

    From the get go, the game throws you into a visually breathtaking world that you traverse and explore. Of the many PS4 games I have played, this game has some of the most realistic and incredibly rendered grass and lighting for a PS4 title. Not to mention the incredible views you can captured with the share buttons on the fly. Throughout my PS4 experiences, I've never taken so many screenshots in one single game, and most of the pictures are without editing at all. However, editing the picture is one of the options.

    Visuals aside, Sucker Punch did a phenomenal job creating an interactive and unique open world with tons of different locations to explore. Plenty of times in other games, you feel that you've been to the same place over and over again. In this game, its the opposite feeling. Every new area I explored will use up all the tools and techniques you've acquired and learned during the game. In these areas, the tiniest of details are also something to take note of, especially during and after completing side missions.

    In regards to side missions... In comparison to other games where these missions are repetitive gives an unsatisfying reward for completing them. This game makes each of them feel its own story. The different "tales" in the game, especially, makes player feel connect to the characters in those missions. The main story itself is quite a journey as well. Overall, the storytelling is great!

    In mentioning about combat, the game did a great job of making one feel like a true samurai. There are many tools to get to make the game feel fresh. There are also quite a few enemy variety making different fights very fun and truthfully strategic. Without spoiling anything, the "boss fights" encountered in the game are pretty cool too. The game performs quite well despite the large amount of activity on the screen.

    Speaking of performance, the game runs quite well on the PS4 Pro. Even on the base PS4, which one of my peers owns, he tells me the game runs very smooth. In addition, one of the games' greatest strengths is the fast loading. The team at Sucker Punch completed a very difficult feat, by having super fast load times! Comparing the loading times to another big open world game, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild on the Nintendo Switch, Ghost of Tsushima loads even faster than that that game does it feels. The longest loading screen through my time in the game is less than 10 seconds in more densely populated areas. Fastest times are within a second. That is incredible given the fact that the game is graphically stunning in 4K and runs at a smooth frame rate.

    Talking quickly about side content and the Legend rank system. The game did a great job with pacing and making me feel rewarded for completing activities. Participating in the side contents are progressively helping one to rank up, in addition to the helpful rewards for the journey ahead. As a result, I encourage everyone to actively go for any new areas you find in the game and complete them. Your gaming experience on the Island of Tsushima will thank you.

    Overall, Ghost of Tsushima is an extremely strong Game of the Year contender for me. In fact, this game may be one of my favorite Open World games of all time. The fun I've had and the journey I've been on is like nothing I've ever come across before. And I have indeed played many great games before, like Skyrim, The Witcher 3, Horizon Zero Dawn, Red Dead Redemption, just to name a few big names. This game shows that Sucker Punch cares deeply about creating a game out of love for the environment they are trying to replicate. The attention to detail and character building are strong indicators that the studios made this game right. It proves that in a gaming world with plenty of corporate doing the talking and deciding if a game should be made or not based on profits and revenues, there are still some studios that just want to make high quality titles that fans want.

    I honestly cannot wait to see what Sucker Punch makes next. If its anything like Ghost of Tsushima, I'm already on board.

    Ghost of Tsushima is for sure a 10 out of 10 experience. Must Buy Game. The critic review scores do not give this game the justice it deserves.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Slavs rejoice, for now you can chop down Mongols without the risk of going to jail! Hah. Okay, I'm kidding. In fact, the game is 8.5 points, if you evaluate it objectively. But I'll bet 10. From now on, this is my favorite game (after the Witcher). The best visual in the gaming industry (not the graphics themselves, but the beauty of local views). Good graphics. The gameplay is based mainly on killing Mongols, but it doesn't get boring! The combat system is very well made, it is a classic "fast blow, strong blow, block, parry" but in an improved form. The plot is also based on the classics of samurai films, and this is not bad. But why then an objective rating of 8.5? in small things. The game has small nuances that slightly spoil the gameplay. For example, the names of the protagonist, important characters for the plot are forgotten. But this is because of the Japanese theme, they just have similar names. In General, of course I advise you to pass and re-try the game, and 100%, with all the quests and secrets!… Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima was a game I was initially sceptical about because I thought it wouldn’t ‘live up to the hype’ when I initially saw the reveal trailer and gameplay. I can safely say it is one of the best games I have ever played, right up there with 2018’s God of War, and like God of War it deserves game of the year, in my opinion.

I can safely say it is one of the best games I have ever played, right up there with 2018’s God of War, and like God of War it deserves game of the year, in my opinion.
    The story is filled with emotional moments; not once did I feel like anything was forced. The flow from each act was superbly executed. Never have I felt so emotional about a game since again God of War. Between Act II and Act III is we’re the tissue box came out.
    The gameplay was outstanding, it was a little tedious (fighting wise) to begin with but once I got the hang of it I couldn’t help but feel like such a badass. The duelling mechanic was a welcome surprise as I thought it was just for show during the release, but I was completely wrong.
    The Voice acting was brilliant and they deserve so much credit, I was hanging on every word they said.
    The visuals, I can’t begin to express how unbelievably beautiful they were, just absolutely jaw dropping. Thank god for photo mode, Inari be praised.
    Lastly, the soundtrack, needless to say the soundtrack has been downloaded to my phone it was that good, goosebumps. Had the perfect amount of emotion for those heavy hitting scenes, the battle music was just perfect. Just can’t express enough much I have throughly enjoyed this game, can’t wait to play it again on PS5. Hopefully it gets either a load of DLC content or a sequel. Absolutely outstanding job Sucker Punch, you ended the PS4 generation with an absolute masterpiece in my eyes.    … Expand

Jin, the main character, is fighting to save his home against the invading Mongolians. Instantly, you get to see this game will have beautiful set pieces. The opening turns into the games tutorial. But, it’s not long at all, gets to the point, and teaches the fundamentals. Other developers could take note here. Let ME, the gamer, get the basics, and move on. Soon after, you are thrust into the open world! And oh my goodness, is it a moment to have. Once you realize the beauty of this game, you get excited to see every inch of it! From the coast, with crashing waves, to roaring snow capped mountains to the North, and in between, the Golden Forest (one of my all time favorites). From here, you're free. Although I would suggest playing a few main missions to get your footing.

    Most of the map is filled with activities that boost your character in a multitude of ways. From holding more charms (little boosts), to more health, and finding unique katanas. You can find groups of enemies everywhere! Sometimes they took someone captive, which provide info of the map once freed, or they have supplies which help you upgrade. There are a few things to customize. Like what jin wears. From armor, head bans, face mask, and your horses saddle too. Outfits give bonuses depending on your play style. This is OK, most look good. However, sometimes you may get stuck wearing something for a bonus which is useful, but not your favorite.

    GoT SHINES with its combat. Extremely visceral. In my opinion, play on hard. This takes away all combat indicators. You will have to learn attacks quickly, even listen out for the bow and arrow enemies calling their shots, so you know to move to safety. The only thing I wish, was more combos. But, you do have four stances, each stance looks different, and the moves that come with them. So there is that. Still, something to learn for the more hardcore, is never a bad thing.

    The story it self is a revenge, honor, adaption tale. Samurais were extremely prideful. Rather facing an enemy head on, then sneak. This is not how the Mongols fight. usually outnumbering, flanking, their enemy. They are there to win. Jin realizes this and, although against his judgement, decides to adapt the playing field and take on new methods to fight back. This is where sneaking, bows, tall grass, and other options comes into play. Giving the player choice on how to tackle the issue.

    The main missions are a mixture of play styles. Usually picking one, and going with it. Of course the open world, is yours to play as you see fit. For me, sneaking is fun and I do use it, but getting used to fighting took some time. it really comes off as, easy to pick up, hard to master. For a Japanese style game, made sense to me. I still can use work. It has all the fixings. Anywhere from, parry, side step, roll out, light and strong attacks, with, what I would call, light, combos. Combos are easy enough. With mainly holding down one button and taping it a few more times, to pull of something more flashy. I do not mind this, but again, something a little more intricate would have been fun. Something mixing the light/strong together. Maybe break guard into a flurry of quick attacks.

    Regardless though, I love this game. From visuals, to characters, and of course, the world. I am so happy Sucker took the time to remember, the world in a game can be just as much a character, as any NPC with a name and some voice lines. They knocked it out of the park! This world is EASILY, in my top 4 (BB, Witcher3, Horizon, and of course Ghost). I am glad to see this list grow since the year Witcher came out.

    Now, the game does have some issues. Mainly, repetitiveness. I found myself in the first location, finishing up the map, and markers before moving on (its how I play and come in last on beating a game). I was offing enemies in 1, to max, 3 hits. Which is realistic, however, boring. I was taking them out so fast, the fight was over before it began. Luckily, the second area kicked it up a notch and the fun came right back. But I am now contemplating stopping myself from upgrading my sword anymore. To keep the fighting intriguing. The second area introduces one of my favorite side activities (you will have to find out on your own). But lets just say, I died more times doing that side activity, then any boss up to that point. Which put a smile on my face!

    This last bit, is for my favorite part of the game. The duels! This is a one on one fight to the death! The arena is limited in space, beautiful set piece, music is perfect, and it comes off extremely cinematic! I feel the camera gets a little closer to Jin shoulder, so it feels more personal. Parries feel like a clash of might! Every side step gets the heart racing, and every hit feels like a victory!

    Out of room to write, which should tell you something! I think you should try it! Hope you enjoy    … Expand

    What can I say that has not already been said? This game was worth my time, all of it, even the extremely tedious collect these random collectibles. Do you know why? Because the sheer beauty these guys crafted. I have fun just roaming the lands, watching the colors shift, storms approach, fog sweep through the trees. Practicing the blade. Game developers need to look at these guys becauseWhat can I say that has not already been said? This game was worth my time, all of it, even the extremely tedious collect these random collectibles. Do you know why? Because the sheer beauty these guys crafted. I have fun just roaming the lands, watching the colors shift, storms approach, fog sweep through the trees. Practicing the blade. Game developers need to look at these guys because they set the bar with this.

    It doesn’t feel like too much to take in either, I don't feel rushed or forced to do anything I don't feel like doing. Side quests are a nice break from the main story that are still relevant in their own rights. I know the story is not the most original, but I still dug it. I found myself interested in every single activity I could discover. I found myself growing emotional for what I could and could not do, for what I was forced to stay quiet about for the greater good of Tsushima. So, I continued practicing the blade.

    It has been awhile since a game made me relate to a character and have such an emotional reaction, god that ending. It's just good guys. Combat is fun despite minor flaws that can pop up relating to targeting or stance switching. Take your time and learn the controls and no one will beat you down., practice the blade. The map is larger than I gave it credit for when this game was first shown, that was a pleasing surprise. I loved watching the landscapes change as I entered new areas.

    Cons: I do not like climbing so the temples irritated me slightly, I don't like the grappling rope because it sometimes didn't register what to do. The absolute worst thing about this game is the UNHELPFUL ANNOYING GUIDING BIRDS. Buddah knows how much I hate those guiding birds, please shut up and leave me alone. I know where I'm going, you're not helping me 90% of the time, if I could shoot you I would. Sometimes foxes can get glitched if you enter combat while following one causing you to have to restart the game to fix it or sometimes just leave the area and come back after a mission or two.

    Pros: Sword go swoosh. Pretty game is pretty. Nice story that I care about. Engaging gameplay. Buy this game.

    An important note: TLOU2 Failed to get me to like Abby because of how badly they wrote her and how utterly distant I found myself to her as a character. This game made me hate 2 characters then showed them in a different light. They did so well with how they showed the light and dark of a person that I wound up really caring about them.

    I beat this game and wanted more. I found myself so capable and skilled that I needed no longer practice the blade. But practice it still I did. I cannot get enough of this game. I need more. I am still hungry.

    8/10 for me because nothing is perfect, minus a few flaws I can honestly say my money was well spent.    … Expand

There is so much attention to visual details, all aimed at constructing not just a sense of authenticity (if you think about the intricate armors/outfits that the characters are wearing) but this sense of beauty, elegance and mystery that I feel is soo characteristic of Japan. The wind is the icing on the cake in this category, seeing as it interacts so gorgeously with the environments that Jin traverses--all the leaves and grass blades that dance in the wind are so mesmerizing to watch (it's also such a cool mechanic to help you navigate the map because it breaks this convention of having waypoints. I also love that they added how the wind and birds are these guiding forces which stand for Jin's parents, such a heartwarming detail!). The storyline is just as phenomenal, especially if you think about how the circumstances force Jin to be torn between two identities, how he pretty much has to break his code if he hopes to successfully deal with the Mongolian hordes that invade the island. The gameplay abounds in main and side missions as well as ways in which Jin can deal with enemies and I love that it doesn't hold your hand too much (aka it's not just a mindless hack and slash, you have to learn when to dodge, when to parry, how to use your stances efficiently or how to silently deal with enemies in such a way that you don't alert the whole group. And if you're not careful, 2-3 well-placed blows from enemies can bring you down in no time). Standoffs are imo the coolest part, they make you feel like such a badass. Admittedly, the Japanese lip-sync could be improved, there are some problems with the camera during confrontations, it feels quite rigid at times, and the AI has some issues here and there, but I don't feel these things could EVER take anything away from the experience.

    Overall, a solid 10/10, a guaranteed must-play. Contrary to tlou II, Ghost of Tsushima needs neither hidden agenda, nor political statements to be praised (it doesn't outright dumb down its characters to drive the story forward nor does it try to pander by changing the tone and focus of its story. It's a gorgeous piece of art aimed at taking players away from this crazy reality where everything has to bend the knee to snowflakey SJWs in order to be considered good)

    The story no spoilers, but it's your classic these people are invading go save your country, as bare bones as it sounds/is sometimes games just need to tell a cogent story in a straight line.
    Combat Assassin's Creed 2 meets Batman Arkham.Heavy emphasis on parrying which while punishing in the early game does get easier with progression and skills unlocked through play..
    Audio is beyond beautiful that's all there is to say a lot of love went into it and it shows.
    The game "can" be completed fairly quickly if just rushing through main campaign but for those adventurers out there I bought the game on release 17/07.& Despite constant play only just unlocked the 2nd of three acts yesterday 22/07 so with time and love longevity is there.
    Cons. In the interest of fairness I would be remiss in not mentioning two bugs I've encountered both requiring a reset 1 while crawling through spaces sometimes you get stuck down there unable to get outm2.Getting on a horse that is not yours at times leads it to move with the player not being able to get off.
    Overall I gave this game an 8 as no game will ever be a 10. There is repetition in the gameplay so milage may vary entirely depends on if you enjoy the look of the combat.This is my first ever metacritic review after gaming for 30 years because this game deserves love, a clear passion project that if anything shines a light on the bloated mess that are microtransaction filled AAA "blockbusters" the game    … Expand

Not only is it visually stunning, has a great story and one of the best fighting-systems, It is also one of if not the best Open World Game out there.

This game shows that Quality is better than Quantity (looking at you Ubisoft). The side-quests are really well made, no quest feels like others mostly due to the fact that the stories behind them vary greatly. And the Open World is just...breathtaking. All of the 40+ biomes feel unique, look amazing and together with the Guiding Wind mechanic, you never really need to open your map, since the game-world guides you without you needing to open the map 24/7

    Of course the game has some problems, mainly the performance and camera work in some places, but besides that, everything Ghost of Tsushima does is simply perfect.

    If you look for a game that is worth the 70€, look no further. This game is a must-play for every owner of a PS4 , can't wait for a possible PS5 Version in the future!

    This game, and it's score, should serve as further proof of the disconnect between ratings from critics vs ratings from real players. This game is a home run on every front. From the beautiful scenery to the engaging gameplay. Every bit of this game is enjoyable.

    One of the greatest console games released in the last 5 years. Please don’t listen to paid reviewers who are shilling for “woke” bucks and doing nothing but virtue signaling for other recent failed games. This game is a masterpiece and fun unlike some other recent releases that hammer you in the forehead with sjw bs the whole way through.

    Hats off to Sucker Punch for giving us a wonderful samurai game that I've been longing for a decent one for a long time. Still, after clearing the game and completing the Platinum Trophy, I can't get enough of it. Everything is wonderful in the Ghost of Tsushima! Its really worth buying day one!

    The graphics are superbs, the storyline it's simple and yet verry pleasant. The open world it's so beautiful and full of secrets that on the first ACT and second ACT, I completed almost every secrets and finished all the second quests before touching the main story, (why, you may ask), because the side quests felt that they were part of the main story and the rewards were useful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Ghost of Tsushima takes the best elements of Assassins Creed and Far Cry, throws in some of the signature Sucker Punch flair that made Infamous so successful and ends up being something that is both familiar and unique at the same time. The stealth elements are not the strongest, and aside from the missions requiring stealth, I almost always took the more forward approach to combat, but the freedom to DO that is part of what makes the game so good. Sony has consistently released incredible, single player, story focusedexclusives for the PS4… Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima might be a generic open world game, but the story is really well written. Side stories have life on it and the combat is really satisfying.

    With stunning graphics a compelling story and perfect gameplay, only thing it could do better is facial mapping on the Japanese voice acting

    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.
