    Absolutely breathtaking and brilliant if the current generation is ending soon sucker punch have managed to end the game with an iron punch. Absolutely must play and a strong game of the year contender.
    But I have just one problem with this game the trash that comes with it in the physical disc.

    Pra mim um dos melhores jogos da geração do PS4. Simplesmente inclível, é inacreditável o que a Sucker Punch conseguiu fazer nesse game em termos técnicos, conseguiram criar um mundo aberto que passa a sensação de estar em um mundo real, a cada momento o jogo te entrega algo novo para fazer, tudo isso em um mundo de gráficos lindos, verdadeiras pinturas sendo geradas a cada ambiente.Pra mim um dos melhores jogos da geração do PS4. Simplesmente inclível, é inacreditável o que a Sucker Punch conseguiu fazer nesse game em termos técnicos, conseguiram criar um mundo aberto que passa a sensação de estar em um mundo real, a cada momento o jogo te entrega algo novo para fazer, tudo isso em um mundo de gráficos lindos, verdadeiras pinturas sendo geradas a cada ambiente. Falando em ambiente, o jogo procurou cuidar de cada detalhe, animais, vegetação, vento, sistemas de partículas, volto a dizer, é inacreditável o que fizeram nesse jogo.

    O sistema de combate é complexo, porém não é difícil de se acostumar, acontece que os inimigos realmente são fortes e você sente uma progressão de dificuldade conforme vai progredindo no jogo, o que te obriga a fazer missões secundárias, procurar templos, tudo isso para poder aprimorar o equipamento e aprender novos golpes, posturas e técnicas para então poder lutar com os inimigos de igual para igual.

    Por ser um jogo de mundo aberto, o mapa é gigantesco e a distância que o jogo marca a ser percorrida realmente parece que é a mesma que você andaria no mundo real, 1km é 1km mesmo. os locais variam bastante, campos de flores lindos dão lugares a florestas densas com grande variedade de vegetação e animais, sapos, caranguejos, cachorros, veados, javalis, pássaros, raposas, peixes, são muitos detalhes que nem precisariam estar lá, mas os desenvolvedores colocaram para mostrar o capricho que tiveram com o jogo.

    Dos pontos negativos, alguns bugs acontecem, como inimigos trancarem em obstáculos e as vezes a camera se posiciona de modo que não favorece o combate (acredito que vão arrumar isso em atualizações futuras) Mas resumindo tudo, o jogo é lindo e trás horas e mais horas de gameplay intensa, muita imersão nos ambientes e combates realmente desafiadores. AMEI

    Soundtrack is addictive well produced within the game like how the music change when you are exploring and going into a fight.

    Story is well written and not only in the main story missions, the sub missions characters offers extra charm to the main campaign of the game often makes you sidetracked from your main objective.

    Overall.. I highly recommend this game to everyone who are looking for pure magic and awesome gameplay.

    I like how they built the story, at start it was kinda boring, but after 5 hours of playing it became really interesting specially when you understand why its called the ghost.

    I really like the meaning behind the game. Its about new ways and old ways.

    They should add a replayability from start.

    It's a fresh experience playing the game. Last time i felt this experience was deathstranding

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful game and quite possibly the most beautiful open world game to date. While it borrows other elements from similar titles it executes them just as good if not better while adding its own new features. The combat is addictive, the world flows around you making it feel like it’s a living thing and the story while not the best is more than serviceable.

    Maybe I'm biased because I wanted a samurai simulator for so long but the fact that this game sets Jin as probably the first Shinobi (as in ninjas didn't exist before sengoku period) makes it even greater. Voice acting is spot on in japanese and while maybe lip sync is not perfect in this version, the acting itself makes up for it A LOT. and while I've played every single assassin's creed game this game's open world does not remind me of Assassin's creed at all, I feel it's so vast and wonderful, even simple non character sidequests present me with interesting things to see. I can think of that sidequest with the samurai spirits how it felt so magical with all that fog and the fireflies. hell even there are some random encounters of people with names who commit crimes or people who did sepuku just randomly leaving a note besides their corpses, the fact that these little events can be seen without a "?" mark on the map and just following the golden bird is awesome.

The vistas and landscapes in this game are pretty awesome, especially with the filter, but truth be told you don't even need it. I replaced my playstation wallpaper from the dynamic theme to one of the pictures i took. It is that good. I feel that this game is very unique in it's style. For some reason i keep thinking about Red Dead Redemption 2 and The Witcher 3 when I am playing maybe it is the open world....or the horses.

The gameplay is really nice and the combat is smooth and despite some issues I still have a lot of fun. This is one of the few games I plan on 100% and beating more than once. I recommend playing it twice, first play it how you want and then the second time play in Kurosawa mode to experience the full beauty. Expand

    The Combat is fricking amazing. It has to grow on you. You will suck for a while but when you master parry and switching between stance it turns into something amazing. Also, the standoffs man, it feels so good no matter how many times you do it. This game also has a lot of enemy variety.

    The story is a little bit meh, but it still works. Thats why I'm giving this a 9.

    A masterpiece in the the PS4 generation. This game is put along side with my ps4 favourites that include god of war, spiderman, horizon zero dawn and FF7 remake.

    The summary of my reasons for the score: Good: -Graphics are just stunningly beautiful with the use of vibrant colors of the environment and also the physics of the world that makes it come alive. -Story: a revenge story
    A masterpiece in the the PS4 generation. This game is put along side with my ps4 favourites that include god of war, spiderman, horizon zero dawn and FF7 remake.

    The summary of my reasons for the score:
    Good:
    -Graphics are just stunningly beautiful with the use of vibrant colors of the environment and also the physics of the world that makes it come alive.
    -Story: a revenge story consisting of supurb voice acting and in depth characters that help you throughout your journey in recapturing the lands of Tsushima that has been taken by the mongol empire.
    -The lack of UI in gameplay makes the game even more immersive than most open world games. Clever use of foxes and wind to guide you to hidden gems and objectives, provides you the natural sense of wanting to explore more.
    -Combat: a smooth and fluid combat system that provides you different stances to approach different types of enemies and a large array of utilities available to make your fight much more exciting! The game truly makes you feel and fight like a samurai (if you choose that path of course).
    -The open world has many activites similar to AC but does it even better without the grind/pay wall to get you to the next main quest or acquiring a better gear.
    The bad:
    -Japanese dub, the game should of been recorded in japanese and have english as a dub feature for a more authentic experience as the japanese dub is off sync with the lips during dialogue. But the english voice acting is excellent and i don't see it as a reason to take points off.

    Overall: Ghost of Tsushima is a perfect samurai AC game i have been waiting decades for and when ubisoft does make a japanese AC game i don't think it will compare to this masterpiece. Every feature in this game has been polished and for that reason it's a must BUY on full price to help support Sukerpunch and this game itself.

    Świetna gra.
    Ciekawy i immersyjny sposób prowadzenia postaci do misji za pomocą wiatru. Pozytywnie mnie to zaskoczyło.
    Gra wygląda obłędnie. Screeny same się robią, ale mnie osobiście nie specjalnie "'powala" bo w 2020 to raczej powinien być standard. Gra ma w sobie "feel" Assassin's Creed - tych starszych gdzie można się wspinać tylko w wyznaczonych miejscach. Podobny styl do Uncharter

    Świetne walki, ale można "zepsuć grę" po prostu chodząc na jakiś dach gdzie przeciwnik nie wejdzie, kucnąć i po chwili zeskoczyć ▲ zabijając od tak 3 przeciwników.
    Natknąłem się na kilka zabawnych bugów gdzie np postać odbija się plecami od ziemi jak od trampoliny.
    Przydało bi się więcej GORE. Coś jak w Wiedźmin 3 do którego de facto mogę porównać misje poboczne - wydają się być ciekawe na tyle, że nie ma się wrażenia, że robisz to na siłę.
    Zdecydowanie polecam gierkę. Jeden z lepszych exklusiwów obok mojego ulubionego Bloodporne czy GoW, Spider-man.

    The gameplay is actually pretty fun, I was worried about getting bored with it, but even though the combat is simple, it can still go south for you very quickly and I like that. I think it also helps that you are a samurai/ assassin hybrid - just knowing that you are this powerhouse archetype makes you feel badass and lends to the feeling of awesome.

    the quests have good storylines so far - ive been doing a crap ton of side quests and just exploring, so I was surprised that many of the side quests had pretty engaging stories behind them.

    cons -

    to be honest I cant think of anything right now, Im really enjoying my experience. I just know that the game isnt perfect so I cant in good conscience give it a 10 out of 10.

Ghost of Tsushima is the game I waited a life time to play and thought we’d never get because there were too many samurai-esk games out already. I’ve wanted to explore feudal Japan in shiny clad armor and lerk in the grass with my straw ronin hat for a long time. I have Hokusai art all through my house if tells you anything and can never pass up a epic Japanese tale. This has been a dream of mine. And here we are in 2020 and this might mark my favorite game to date. Now that’s not for lack of it actually being a great game. If it wasn’t rewarding and fun to play, if the story, lack of hud, and wonderfully orchestrated events and combat didn’t come together so amazingly I would be ripping my controller in half from a life time of anticipation ending in disappointment but luckily my controllers are safe as this is an amazing game to play and everything I ever dreamed. It’s fun, it’s difficult at times, it’s rewarding, it’s sad, it’s a roller coast that just keeps going! My only suggestion would be to get out there and play it for yourself. Turn off the phone, shut the laptop, and get lost in an amazingly put together journey. Expand

    One of the best open worlds i've played, every scene is like a picture, it's like i'm playing a concept art, the combat and stealth are really solid, and the story is really good.

    Jim is a great main character, a kind and chill guy and that's actually not common in games.

    It's a great contender to game of the year, in my opinion, is more than worth a buy.

    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.
