    If you like the Witcher 3, you'll love this game. The visuals, the combat, the sound, and historical accuracy of the game. I do recommend playing the game on hard mode, since it makes battles that much more meaningful. My only real complaint is the English dub actor is a bit sub par, but tbe Japanese voice actor is amazing.

I had recently got the platinum in the game and honestly felt that time was well beyond worth spending the last days. It truly surprised me in the most wonderful way when you had so much combinations of combat and character gear customization. What amazes me is the game pacing and fun due to many aspects mentioned above - combat and exploration. The story itself is fantastic and not to be forgotten, it really held up my attention more than I anticipated and that is just wonderful especially when you get distracted in open world games. If you really have any interest in this game I say buy it whenever you can and I promise you will enjoy it. Expand

The characters fit perfectly into the the world; they're believable and aren't presented like pawns fighting for the writer's agenda. Gameplay is fun, but some might care for something more challenging. It becomes easy even on hard mode once your character is upgraded. However the boss fights still can be tough and take a few tries. A new difficulty mode in the future would be excellent. The stealth is fun, it isn't on the level of MGSV but holds water. Perhaps one of the most beautiful games on the PS4, Ghosts of Tsushima doesn't do anything revolutionary but what it does do, it does with grace and excellence. I love the game! Expand

    Played on hard using ghost skills (wanted to use everything the game has). Loved it! nice story, even on sidequests. ait makes you wanna know more. A little bit repetitive as any game of this style (AC, the witcher, etc), but its not a problem. I would expect better graphics, but doesn't change my experience.

    The game is beautiful and feels like a mix of Red Dead 2, Breath of Wild, Far Cry and Horizon with a hint of Sly Cooper. I like that I can explore at my own pace and don't get forced into missions like many other open world games. I am really looking forward to playing it again on the PS5

Then, I saw the trailers and I was excited but not as much as I would have been for an infamous game. Recently, having played FF7 remake, my bar for GOTY 2020 was pretty. And damn, did this game come close and is not just my second fav game of this year after FF7 remake but one of my top 10 games of this gen. It is a joy to play from start to finish.
    1. Gameplay: This is the best part about this game and well, this matters the most. The game handles everything to perfection. There are two ways to approach most situation: the samurai/honorable way and the ghost way. I prefer ghost way for taking back some posts but the samurai way for most of the story stuff and random encounters. The combat is incredible. From the standoff to the sword and using multiple stances to fight different enemies, it is amazingly satisfying. Every encounter is a joy to play. It is not hard but it is that perfect level of difficulty that you at least have to take each encounter carefully depending on how many and the types of the enemies are there. Stealth approach tho is amazing too. You have to plan out and execute it and if you get it right, you will be able to do this in one go with no problem : and this shows why we need an AC japan game xD.
    2. Story : This might seem weak at the start as you think "typical, simple, meh, heard it, been there, done that" but as you play more and realize what the story is actually about (apart from the obvious quest for revenge), you see why this is a perfect samurai story for gaming. I won't spoil anything as this is a joy to play through but rest assured, give the story a little bit of time and you will love it.
    3. Art style and Graphics: fantastic, just wow. Easily up there in terms of graphics with god of war, red dead 2, TLoU 2, etc and I would say surpassing them all in terms of art style. The game looks amazing with a beautifully realized world and a really well crafted structured map. I would argue that this is an open world game : done right. Everything flows well. Forests, the small houses you encounter, the settlements : all looks authentic and well made. I would say that this game is the most beautiful of the whole generation.
    4. Surprising but HUD: wow, I am surprised how much this pleased me but this game doesn't have any mini map, objective marker when playing. You just see the game and nothing else, an incredible level of immersion. And the way it handles tracking your quests : surprising but really really well done.
    Overall, 10/10. It is one of the few games I have ever thought is a 10/10. Highly recommended to anyone who has a ps4.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is everything I could’ve dreamed of from when I first heard about this games development. First, Jin Sakai is an incredibly well done character. Daisuke Tsuji did a amazing job. Moreover, his character development is phenomenal. Furthermore, the other characters, such as; Lady Masako, Norio, Yuna, Taka, Ryuzo, Khotun Kahn, Ishikawa etc. are also doing brilliantly. I loved and was completely invested in every characters story and personality. The combat is excellent, with a plethora of techniques and mechanics which help it be very, very fun and non-repetitive because there’s so many ways to go about it. For example, you could stand off against the enemy, use ranged weapons, be completely stealthy, use the ghost weapons or use all of the above simultaneously. The one thing that I didn’t really like about this game is that the final battle against Khotun Kahn wasn’t a duel scenario. The fact that it was just like normal playing made it seem less impactful as the penultimate important fight. This character that has been an portrayed numerous times to be a ruthless warlord who will stop at nothing to achieve his goal is suddenly a relatively easy fight (normal difficulty) and I think they could’ve made his duel move set more punishing and complex. Back to positivity, the ending was incredible, the duel with Lord Shimura was a surprise for me, but a welcome one. It once again showed the lengths that samurai would go to maintain their honour. I let Shimura live as I just couldn’t bring myself to kill him, even if it was the more emotionally powerful ending. Last, I’d like to say a few words about the ‘fashion’ this game. I believe that the vanity in ghost of Tsushima is impeccable. It is incredible. There is an extraordinary range of varying headbands, straw hats, kabuto and some that guard such as the tengai. Moreover, the choice of colour and mask was very nice as many of them represented something different, personally, I wore the ghost set through the rest of the game after I got it because it looks amazing and because it came from Taka and that was enough to make me wear it.

It may be true that there are some aspects of the game that may have been done better. To name a few there is the lip sync for the Japanese dub, the Stealth Detection AI for the enemies and a few historical discrepancies such as using katana instead of the tachi and the patterns of the samurai armor during the 1200's (this is for those who are into the historical aspect of the game). However, these are definitely minute compared to the compelling story and very relatable characters the game has to offer to players. From the exhilarating fight sequences to the breathtaking scenes, Ghost of Tsushima delivers a familiar vibe of a beloved theme in a very refreshing light. For me, to call Ghost of Tsushima "amazing" is an understatement. I would consider this a masterpiece. Thank you and congratulations Sucker Punch Productions! Expand

    This game has honestly became my favorite game, the gameplay is so satisfying, the story is really good and you truly feel like you are in ancient japan. I’ve been waiting for a samurai game like this one, having played both nio games and sekiro I personally think this is the best choice if you want to pick up a samurai game. Yes the game does have a few bugs but tbh what game doesn’t.

Yes the game does have a few bugs but tbh what game doesn’t. I don’t even have a ps4 pro and the game still looks GORGEOUS. The game, even tho being on the easier side, still offers a descent challenge. You care about the characters you fight with, you always want to do more and I really like how (personally) you want to finish the character side quests because you care about they’re story as much as the main one. This is a 10/10 for me Expand

    They paid a lot of attention to accuracy. The environment is huge is beautiful. All armor is as detailed as can be for PS4. If you want a deep story you can cling onto, its a perfect play.

    Ghost of Tsushima Is one of the most breathtaking and beautiful game I've ever played. It provides us with a massive world to explore with an amazing combat system. According to the choice of actions u take in the game u can either be a stealthy ninja or a badass samurai. There are a few bugs here and there but they don't end up ruining the experience.

    Ghost of Tsushima is fun has "easy" combat that is easy to learn but not to hard to master but it is not in eny way revolutionary. the ability to switch between forms in combat to better fight certain types of enemy's is do well. it looks stunning and is gud at making you feel like a bad-ass. the game runs pretty well. i haven't had eny problems with glitches myself but i hear they areGhost of Tsushima is fun has "easy" combat that is easy to learn but not to hard to master but it is not in eny way revolutionary. the ability to switch between forms in combat to better fight certain types of enemy's is do well. it looks stunning and is gud at making you feel like a bad-ass. the game runs pretty well. i haven't had eny problems with glitches myself but i hear they are there. i will say this is a must try but i can see it isn't fore everyone. it is a gud game but no masterpiece Expand

    This is everything I wanted in a game. samurai, Japanese lore, history, rpg, open world. The combat is fun, the world is beautiful. The side quests are so interesting I find myself genuinely attached to the characters. I'm so invested in the side stories I often forget about the main story for hours at a time. I couldn't recommend this more.

    Beautiful game. Pet a fox simulator 2020. (You finally learn what the fox says). Jokes aside, Sucker Punch got the feel down. A few pacing issues aside in the middle, the atmosphere is perfect. Looking forward to a sequel or another game like this one in the future. (Thinking South American tribes pre-European discover)

    From the gorgeous art style, addictive gameplay, brilliant mission structure and world design to the excellent combat, Sucker Punch have delivered my GOTY for 2020 and possibly my favourite game this generation. What a great game. For a brand new IP I can't wait to see this franchise grow on Ps5.

    Take 10 points as a basis - a masterpiece:
    - 1 point for a horse not able to swim;
    - 1 point for hacky animation of movement in tunnel; - 1 point for uniform and long animations of interaction with altars, ponds, dialogues.


    The plot is good, the gameplay is nice and the combat system is very good.
    The most important thing in the game is the atmosphere of feudal Japan.

    Truly one of the best games I've ever played. I found myself struggling to put down the controller. The only games I enjoyed this much were God of war 4, The Last of Us part one, and the Witcher 3. The story, voice acting, visuals are just all amazing. I really have no complaints with this game. I would give it a 9.5 out of ten.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very promising end to the PS4 era. And excellent game. However, if I had to point out one area where it needed to do better, it would be the dialogue delivery in the side quests. Most dialogues were bland and lacked variation. The side quests themselves were very engaging and interesting. But the boring conversation decreased the overall value. The game took a huge turn by the time I reached the end of act two. Loved the experience Expand

    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.
