    After all this glowing reviews I was expecting something truly exceptional, but this game is "just" good. Nothing groundbreaking.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game feels like You’re playing an old Japanese movie live! The aspects of the Samurai and the honor they lived and died by. That code of honor makes it hard for you to play missions where you must take the enemy out from the shadows. You become so immersed in the story it makes you feel bad breaking the code. I’m only about 10 hours into this game and I’ve played more side quests and free roam missions than I have the main story. I did learn the hard way that the main story helps you out in some ways. Play them and you’ll see! I’m looking forward to how this story unfolds and I’ll give an update once I’ve competed the game. Enjoy the massive amount of time this fame will take you to complete and fight as many battles as possible with honor!… Expand

    The combat feels fluid but is stiff sometimes and doesn’t let you change target even though you want to attack a other one. Normally I don’t play games harder than it needs to be but I was so hyped for this game and it’s setting, I decided to take it slow and do a run on the difficulty „hard“ (no other harder difficultie available). At first I had problems with my enemies. They were fast and ruthless but after one or two hours they’re not as fast anymore - or atleast it doesn’t feel so anymore. Reaching that point was my biggest disappointment in this game. Once you know the mechanics it becomes really easy even on hard. Sure, here and there you still die but that’s mostly because the fights are so easy I made it myself harder and made my own challenges like not using armor, omamoris or even not using new skillpoints. I don’t upgrade my sword too because i want the fights to last longer. You remember the first few assassins creeds where you could just fight with the hidden knife? Just parry and easily one hit kill them. It’s not as bad here in this game but parrying is still pretty easy here. World: The look of the world itself and the setting is beautiful. Very beautiful. But that’s it. I thought this land was invaded by mongols but where are they? Here and there you walk upon some and here and there you have some bandits stealing and killing innocents, which you can fight. But that’s it. Not only the fights are easy, you don’t have many encounters and you literally need to look for them. In main or side missions you can see the scripted patrols further away and they’re really there and blocking ways or patrolling ways but once you’re outside of a mission in free roam, you have only the typical „random encounters“. They feel so overused after just a few. The setting itself and the story makes it good. The gameplay itself is only good in missions.    … Expand

The combat is fun however, manoeuvring between stances to counter your enemies. When you get into a duel, and perfect parries your opponent to cut them down in one slice, it makes you feel absolutely like a Samurai. That’s what in my opinion, sets the game apart.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the first game that I have platinumed in years, though this doesn't mean it's a perfect game. Far from it.

    There is no denying the techinal achievement Sucker Punch have pulled off here. Getting GoT to run smoothly on a base PS4 is nothing short of astonishing, and aside from a few framerate hiccups towards the end of the story, its an incredible experience. The    Ghost of Tsushima is the first game that I have platinumed in years, though this doesn't mean it's a perfect game. Far from it.

    There is no denying the techinal achievement Sucker Punch have pulled off here. Getting GoT to run smoothly on a base PS4 is nothing short of astonishing, and aside from a few framerate hiccups towards the end of the story, its an incredible experience. The level of detail applied to the enviroment helps make it feel as close to photo realistic as the Playstation 4 is going to ever achieve. The way the grass flows in the wind, how Jin reaches down from his horse to feel the flowers through his finger tips as he rides. These small elements are moments of wonder that can't help but make you smile. The games photo mode does an excellent job of highlighting Tsushimas beauty, and in some ways becomes a mini game on its own. With so many filters, timescales and bokeh options applied, its hard not to stop at every cliff face to take "just one more" photo.

    Loading and fast travel are incredibly fast. Weirdly infact. I can't be sure someone didn't slip one of these new PS5 SSD's into my console when I wasn't looking. If this is any indication of the future, then I'm sad to announce that people will be hearing from me less due to the reduction my available time to pick up my phone.

    While the graphical achievements are clear for all to see, the story is where Ghost of Tsushima falls a little flat. For a game with such an intriguing and well acted antagonist, an opportunity is missed to delve far deeper into Khotun Khan. Having an almost 'Thanos' feel to him, constantly pulling strings in the background feels ominous and powerful, but the payoff doesn't match the journey. Jin's backstory and upbringing is fleshed out well through flashback cutscenes within the main story that help you invest more in the supporting casts decisions, but you never feel a true connection to anyone. The game pulls off only one real gutpunching moment, and it doesn't come from where you'd expect.

    Story wise, the game is essentially split into 3 chapters, You can choose to concentrate solely on these story missons and make a B line for the credits, but so much story and lore is missed through side chartacter development if completing the story is your only goal. its recommended you at least follow character arcs that you feel you have an affinity with, and the game does a good job of introducing you to the first of each of these through the main scenerio. The acting and motion capture is strong. It's no The Last of US, but it holds up well over Tsusima's 30hrs and never feels awkward or stiff.

    The overall gameplay is a mixed bag. The combat itself is strong, offering you 4 different unlockable stances to deal with different enemy variations. This makes the combat feel deep, and there's little more enjoyable in the game than switching between multiple enemies quickly while choosing the correct stance. On top of a boat load of unlockable techniques and passives, Jin will take upwards of 50 hrs to fully upgrade everything he has to offer. Unfortunately the variation of gameplay can quickly become repetitve while utilising these abilities. Side quests are all too familar and always appear to end the same way. Liberating Tsushimas many mongol camps can be fun when fighting head on, but due to the games terrible stealth mechanics, approaching them silently all becomes a bit copy and paste. Enemy AI is almost laughable while in stealth mode, which doesn't help anyone looking to fully immerse themseleves in this part of Japanese history. I doubt there was ever a mongol that chased a Japanese Samurai from 2ft behind, only to give up whilst being audibly confused, because the samurai entered a tent.

    saying this, one of the most notable features Ghost of Tsushima offers is the complete lack of UI, and it works wonders. With a swipe of the Dualshocks touchpad, Jin can follow the wind to his next objective, or become sidetracked by a small yellow leading him to one of the islands many mysteries...

    Fast forward 10 hrs, and the repetitve nature of the now highly annoying the yellow bird appearing on your screen every 3 mins just feels like a game mechanic in itself. It becomes all it set out to destroy (I assume). The world loses its sense of awe and magic it has in its first few hours, mainly because this now stupid bird (You can't shoot it with an arrow by the way) never leads you to anything new. Its always another Fox Den, another Haiku, another Hotspring. You never feel like had you not followed tweety bird you would be missing out on a secret, and thats a shame. The premise is great, and works for a time, but i'm sure it will be improved upon by others in the next few years.

    Overall, Ghost of Tsushima is an enjoyable swansong for the PS4. What it lacks in gameplay variety, it makes of for in its sheer beauty and fantastic combat. Hopefully with a bit more fleshing out in a sequel, it can hit new highs.    … Expand

    While difficult at first, I'm really loving the combat system. It's a combination of God of War and the Batman Arkham series, if that makes any sense. You can't just button mash your way to success. The storyline is about as good as you could expect for any open world game. Which is acceptable for me because this isn't necessarily a story-driven game. It just gives you a reason to explore the beautiful environments that this game presents, in all honesty I really don't even need a reason. This game has the best photo mode of any game on any console ever. It's not close. I've been playing this game for just about 3 days, it gets better and better. this is a must-buy for any fan of open world Games.    … Expand

    How Ghost of Tsushima Ruined Video Games For Me

But what I haven't heard about is the impact that this game has had on my video gaming experience as a whole. I only realized the depth of this change weeks after I had fought my last Mongol and platinumed the game. In a    How Ghost of Tsushima Ruined Video Games For Me

    Most of what I am about to write is nothing that hasn't already been said by professional and humble video gamers alike. But what I haven't heard about is the impact that this game has had on my video gaming experience as a whole. I only realized the depth of this change weeks after I had fought my last Mongol and platinumed the game. In a pursuit to find the next adventure to sink my teeth into, I found myself comparing every other game to Ghost regardless of what genre they belonged to. That's how you know Ghost is truly a masterpiece.

    In a day and age where video games go gold and are released in a half-baked state, and then gamers are asked to not only pay full price, but also have no guarantee that the original vision of the game may never be fully realized, Ghost is a refreshing reminder of what a finished and polished product should be. With the amount of action and scenery on-screen at all times, you would expect frame-rate drops, nasty pop-ins, character clipping issues, and everything else we have come to see from largely interactive, open-world games. While playing Ghost, I can count on one hand the number of times the frame-rate dropped enough for me to notice.

    Even if most of the other large open-world games solved the glitches and frame-rate problems, I have never seen a game optimized as well as Ghost. Let's take fast traveling for example. By definition, it should be a simple and "fast" way of making your way across a large map. But what I have come to see in most games is that many times, it's neither simple nor fast. In other games, there are times when I need to decide whether or not to use the fast travel system because either it's inconveniently designed through specific travel points which require you to go there first, or the load times are so unbearable, that riding my horse (I'm looking at you AC: Odyssey) is much faster than the "fast travel" system. In Ghost, since fast traveling was actually quick, I sometimes couldn't even finish reading the on-screen tip, so I never had to choose what to do out of need. I could choose to enjoy the scenery along the way or use the fast travel system to get there quick. And when I got there, I was never disappointed. I never grew tired of discovering new locations because each place seemed hand-built to evoke a sense of awe and majesty. From the top of a cliff overlooking a waterfall, to the endless fields of colorful flowers swaying in the wind, the joy of finding a new place stayed with me all the way until I hit 100% completion of the game.

    I could go on for days about the combat, the gear/item management, leveling system, cinematics, voice acting, story, etc... but again, it's nothing you haven't heard before. It's all fantastic. Here's where it's different. Every game I play from this day on will, inevitably, be compared to Ghost, for better or for worse. This game ruined other video games for me. It is a technical masterpiece that, for me, has created a ripple effect so large, that it affects not only the games I play now, but also show how games in the past have missed the mark, and sets the bar high for games of the future. This is what a finished, well-thought out, lovingly optimized, open-world adventure game should be: perfection on every level.    … Expand

    The combat is fun
    Exploration is great. I enjoy traveling around and finding foxes and writing haikus

    Cons:
    The story is very basic and quite predictable. I'm a good guy and the mongols are the bad guys.
    There were also several moments which felt nonsensical to me.
    Jin is a weak protagonist. I love that he's voiced by zoro but he's just such a dull character.
    The missions are extremely samey. I go somewhere and I kill a bunch of dudes... the lack of variety is a real chore.
    The game is unpolished in several areas. My hair clips through my armor set, my feet clip through rocks when I'm jumping sometimes as well. I also jumped inside of two rocks and one of them propelled me into the sky.
    The enemy AI is pretty bad. They stop searching for you almost immediately and often don't notice dead bodies nearby.
    The stealth really isn't great either. It just feels like a waste of time to sneak around when i can challenge everyone and cut them down in a quarter of the time.
    Allies are pretty useless in battle and I hate they can get knocked down and if you don't revive them in time it's a mission fail.
    They have trailing missions which always suck and there are some forced stealth missions like 'silent death' which just feel like a hassle.
    It's lacking in originality. It's very much an assassin's creed horizon zero dawn game which is fine but I always appreciate it when a game takes some risks.

    Overall it's a decent game but i'm a bit baffled as to why it's gotten such a positive reception. I assume as people play more of the game its flaws will become more and more apparent.    … Expand

    An excellent combat system which allows many play-styles, sublime graphical presentation and an emotional story help 'Ghost of Tsushima' stand far above its 'open-world' contemporaries. The world is packed full of activities that are fun, but never feels overwhelming.

    Mounted combat is an absolute joke until far into the Iki Island expansion where you get some abilities and a very ugly horse armor. Stealth is broken beyond repair.

    I liked GOT, it's a fun, beautiful looking game with some really great ideas in there : wind, fighting system, haiku writing. That said, I don't think this game is anywhere near 5 stars. Like sucker punch's infamous it feels like it needed a few more months to file off the rough edges it still has.
    Things like :
    Soldiers killed on cliff edges will not hang of the edge, they will lie flat, with whatever parts of their body just floating off the edge
    Birds take flight when you approach, but will fly through whatever is in front of them - a mountainside in my experience
    Not important NPC side mission encounters results in a brief black loading screen then a generic two shot - which you can't move or speed up - and then a black loading screen again to get back into the game
    Your horse will be nowhere in sight until you whistle where it will be appear almost alongside you
    You run at the same speed not wade through water until it gets to swimming level
    You will obtain a couple of bows through the game which you can of course customise with various colour kits. However you only see them when you are drawing an arrow and about to fire, if you release L2 the bow disappears to where exactly?
    Now, none of these types of things are game breakers for me really. But for a product that is coasting on celebrations of how pretty it looks, these things are pretty jarring. Especially when compared to likes of TLOU2 and RDR2 with their attention to detail. I mean even much older releases of Horizon and definitely Witcher 3 and some AC games do this type of thing much better, and I'm sorry GOT is not on their level.
    It feels like an opening game for the start of the ps4 lifespan, look at how beautiful it is, not for its swansong. But as I said, it's a fun, cool game and I am definitely looking forward to finishing it. I would welcome a sequel on the ps5. I world just hope that these sort of issues are remedied.

    Character-wise there is nobody who stands out or I feel particulary attached to, same goes for the main villain who is generic and forgetable like the proganist and his companions.

    The multiplayer is a neat idea but the missions are something you are gonna play once and you forget about them and horde mode (even at its highest difficulty settings) gets really boring. I didn't try raids but I think that they won't be as different as the other modes included there.

Even as a western made game it feels very authentic to the time period of it's setting with not much out of place considering that fact (perhaps not historically but hey it's a video game). The combat is fast and deadly with a matter of hits possibly meaning death which makes the player really feel like a skilled samurai slicing through enemies with well-timed parries, fluid movement and strikes. You are given many options on how to deal with situations and play in general, from a straw hat samurai who challenges their opponents head on to a stand off (duel) or a ghost who uses stealth, tools, and flaming arrows, using the environment to their advantage.

    The map is huge and well crafted with much to do, the empty space it does have is not vast and empty but beautiful and carefully detailed. The mini map system is none existent due to a unique mechanic they've added which is most welcome as it allows you to take in the atmosphere rather than focus on the corner of the screen. After close to 15 hours in I have barely scratched the surface of all there is to do and am happily looking forward to a long journey ahead.

Therefore, he must abandon what he knows and become a new kind of warrior. One that goes against the code of the samurai.

    1: The story is engaging and dramatic. Jin Sakai is wrought with conflict as his home is under siege by the mongol empire, and his point of view on the art of war changes. Therefore, he must abandon what he knows and become a new kind of warrior. One that goes against the code of the samurai. The story is split into multiple arcs with side quests that are just as engaging as the main game and are hardly worth passing. And when the credits rolled, I was actually crying. And very few games can make me do that.

    2: The gameplay is tight, responsive, and fun. Switching between sword stances mid-combat to be more effective against enemies with certain weapons makes every fight heart-pumping, and a little bit strategic. And all the unlockable combos via technique points are all useful in some way. And when you're not fighting all-out, you're being a stealthy ghost taking out enemies from the shadows, either with a bow or a dagger, while jumping and swinging with a grappling hook.

    3: The appeal of this game can be described in one word: GORGEOUS. This game is so beautiful and massive, with the entire island of Tsushima open to explore. Japan is one of my favorite countries, because it has an intriguing culture and history to share. The way people bow to greet you, the many haikus you can compose, the authentic 13th century buildings you can walk around, both outside and inside, sequences with sliding doors to open, etc.

    The only gripe I have with this game is the performance. It generally runs at 30 FPS, but will sometimes drop into the mid-teens. The first time I experienced frame drops was during a cutscene, and the final time I experienced frame drops during my first playthrough was near the end of the third act, when you're facing Khotun Khan. But, luckily, the frame drops aren't exactly game-breaking, and the game hasn't crashed on me a single time.

    Do I recommend this game? Absolutely. This game is freaking awesome, and I enjoyed every second playing it.    … Expand

    this is one of the best 2020 games

    Плохая графика и сюжет ниочём, однотипный гемплей! Не оправдала ожиданий, жалею потраченного времени!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I dont even know where to begin. So I'm gonna just do bullet points in no particular order.

    •This is a samuri game and there is no honor system.

    •Nothing you do in the game matters at all to the plot or outcome.

    •Dialog options are minimal and have NO effect on the game.

    • The game is comically easy even on hardmode.

    •Waterfall graphics are TERRIBLE.

    •Every mongal camp and farm is a copy paste with nothing interesting or different about any of them.

    •Unskippable dialog from the 80th peasant you save saying the same boring line is awful.

    •There is absolutely no penalty for dying whatsoever.

    •Many cutscenes simply fade to black and have only sound effects. Is this 2007?

    •The plot is boring and predictable.

    •Ryuzo betrays you because his men are supposedly "starving" ...on an island you cant walk 10 feet without tripping over a boar and a deer. •Only 2 animals you can actually interact with for hides in the entire game. Boars and Bears. Really?

    •Very limited selection of meaningful gear.

    •All swords only cosmeitc . All hats and masks only cosmetic.

    •PATHETIC talent system where you quickly get enough points to have e etythinf in the game so you don't have to make any choices in your build...

    There's many more awful things about this fame but im tired of even writing about them.

    This is the most disappointed I have been in a game in YEARS... And I wanted to love it so badly... but it failed at every turn.    … Expand

    Extremely overrated game, awful camera, only reason it got so many positives was thanks to last of us 2. Without last of us 2 this game would have been forgotten, even tho it is already forgotten. Only bots are giving it 10/10, but hardly anyone actually plays it. Ironically this overhype somehow convinced some people that it's actually something special.

    Fails in comparison to Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Last of Us Part 2. I find it almost criminally insulting to give the Last of Us Part 2 such a demeaning score just because some people don’t enjoy the story. Well perhaps I didn’t enjoy the cliché and overhyped game of the Ghost of Tsushima. Let’s begin with the graphics. The graphics viewed in trailers and some gameplay is veryFails in comparison to Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Last of Us Part 2. I find it almost criminally insulting to give the Last of Us Part 2 such a demeaning score just because some people don’t enjoy the story. Well perhaps I didn’t enjoy the cliché and overhyped game of the Ghost of Tsushima. Let’s begin with the graphics. The graphics viewed in trailers and some gameplay is very misleading from the actual game and is not what I expected from a game that has been getting worked on for years and is also a Sony exclusive. The blood is not realistic and there’s hardly any ever gore. The feel of emotion is unrealistic and is lacking in this game. It almost feels a bit soulless. The gameplay is repetitive, but makes up for that with the countless amounts of upgrades you can have with both your techniques and weaponry. The customizations is almost overwhelming, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. There are a host of things that simply don’t make sense in this game. From walking in to random peoples houses and taking their supplies without any hostility from the owners, to being able to ride your horse through trees and other objects without any repercussions. There are a lot of glitches and bugs and I have had to restart the game because of them. Before purchasing this game, lower your expectations immensely. That way you won’t be let down. Quite possibly the most overhyped and overrated game of this generation.… Expand

    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.
