    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Previously.. the PRESS & most of the MEDIA overrated a lot TLOU2, & now its counter is overrating a lot to this game too, but whatever...
    -With regard to historical events.. this game seems to have been developed by a bunch of children with crayons; Examples.. Lord Shimura literally mentions the "Bushidō" on several occasions, something that was just known as such from Edo period {1603–1868} onwards & this game takes place during the Kamakura period {1185–1333}; The Japanese swords of this game are literally called "Katanas", like Jin's "Sakai Katana", when the Katanas just started to be produced during the Muromachi period {1336–1573}, the type of Japanese sword produced & used during the Kamakura period {1185–1333} were the Tachi { 太 刀}, but not the Katana.
    -It has Haikus.. which only began to exist as such from around 1644, with the creation of the Hokku.
    -It has very good graphics, but that really is something that has never interested me.. since I like to play games, not to play movies!
    -The gameplay of this title is AVERAGE at best, in fact, one can't even LOCK-ON the enemies during combat.
    -Regardless if you decide to follow the PATH OF THE WARRIOR or not, the MC always uses the same main weapons.. that are his Sword & a Bow, so you cannot even use the weapons of the enemies or a dual-wielding fighting style.
    -It's just a typically open-world game with a lot of useless padding & filler to do, like the Haikus.. which are BORING af & that didn't even existed back then.
    -The title does not offer anything new to the table either.
    -It's plot always unfolds in the same way, regardless of whether one decides to follow the PATH OF THE WARRIOR or not.
    -After one decides what to do with the MC's uncle the ENDING or OUTCOME is always the same & post-END play is always the same..!    … Expand

    I've waited a long time for this game but after 3 hrs of playing it, I simply removed it. why?

    The combat system is awful and the storytelling is not catchy at all. this just feels like a game from 6 years ago, in its best it is just another assassins creed! the environment is beautiful though.

    This is sadly one of the worst story games I have ever played.
    Story: The story line is extremely stale with not even 1 surprising twist, everything played out extremely predictable, none of the boring 1 dimensional supporting characters helped make Jin even remotely interesting. Kutan Khan is such a cliche "super smart" villain that just makes everything else play out way more cliche.    This is sadly one of the worst story games I have ever played.
    Story: The story line is extremely stale with not even 1 surprising twist, everything played out extremely predictable, none of the boring 1 dimensional supporting characters helped make Jin even remotely interesting. Kutan Khan is such a cliche "super smart" villain that just makes everything else play out way more cliche. The campaign was emotionless, boring, basic, and predictable and it doesn't help that every character had awful writing. It was not engaging, compelling, or creative in any way.
    Visuals: Its really disappointing to see a game that takes place on one of the most beautiful places on earth miss the bar graphically, compared to other triple A games such as Last of us Part ll this game looks pretty mediocre. The amount of cut out cut scenes that were just black screens is disgusting, during multiple cut scenes, Jin was not even moving his mouth while talking. Overall the visuals are just meh, nothing stood out to me.
    Game play: While the game play was cool at first, it got repetitive extremely quick, with only 2 assassination animations, extremely easy combat, and some of the worst A.I it was hard to be engaged at all. You could assassinate people within 10 ft of a guard and he doesn't see or hear anything, it was some of the worst programming for A.I's i have ever seen. The stances were cool but then just became a nuisance having to switch ever 5 seconds. The duels are a weak attempt at trying to capture the hardness of dark souls but in the end its just flat out boring. There was one move that the A.I spammed all the time and it was a poke. This move reached almost full screen, had extremely fast start up, was unblockable, and hit for 90% of your health even with maxed out armor. The only way to avoid it was to jump and even then it would still hit even when i was above the swordsman's head or to parry which was extremely hard to do and the parries did even register half of the time. Combat was just not fun and took up time.
    Glitches: Don't even get me started on the disgusting amount of glitches. Some of them were
    Characters mouths not moving when talking
    Movement glitches that make you randomly fall
    block button not registering against move that were blockable
    parry registered only 60% of the time
    Not being able to run
    not being able to switch stances, equipment or weapons
    taking damage before cut scene is over
    and this is just naming a few.
    Overall talking about the game in full and all of its flaws would take forever so in summary, it has combat and gameplay that is ripped of from other story games, the worst story i have ever played, awful writing and characters, countless glitches, and graphics that don't even reach the bar.    … Expand

    Very disappointed in this game. Game looks great but it has loads of filler and the story and writing is poor imo. Combat is very easy and gets old quickly. Camera angle is very clunky. Game feels very dated, if it came out 3 years ago I think it would have been received much better. Disappointed.

    My only explanation for the user score being 9.2 is that the majority of gamers love Japan because anime is from Japan, which makes them weebs (because let's be honest, every anime is weeb, except Castlevania that's not Japanese), which makes them unable to objectively see anything involving Japan which makes everything 10 out of 10 IGN.

    If those individuals were able to see things    My only explanation for the user score being 9.2 is that the majority of gamers love Japan because anime is from Japan, which makes them weebs (because let's be honest, every anime is weeb, except Castlevania that's not Japanese), which makes them unable to objectively see anything involving Japan which makes everything 10 out of 10 IGN.

    If those individuals were able to see things clearly, they would have no problem noticing all those major flaws which make the game look more like an indie title than what it actually is.

    A few examples:
    - One door opening animation that's repeated every single time you or any other NPC tries to enter any building with shoji entrance. (Now imagine following 2 NPCs into a building and seeing that 3 times in a row in 5 seconds)
    - Pathfinding that makes NPCs run in straight lines till they hit the edge of their path, so they could unrealistically turn 30 degrees and continue in another straight line.
    - Dull stealth gameplay which in combination with maybe even worse enemy AI that doesn't know how to behave after you break their line of sight results in one of the least enjoyable experiences I've ever had in any game that offered stealth.
    - repetitive side activities that make you constantly follow foxes, birds that get stuck in every single tree or rock (just like any other animal you encounter) that appears in their way, or the most annoying old fart ever created as a game character that howls the word THOMOEEEE every 2 sentences.
    - Interactivity with the open world that includes only following NPCs, clicking on prompts to investigate, sitting down to click on predefined sentences, taking your clothes off to bathe, and climbing up 1997 platformer-looking stumps on a rock.
    - No interesting or genuine characters except some of them during the duels that just look cool for a few seconds before you kill them, and after defeating 3 of them you quickly notice that there's not much variability in their moveset, so it becomes another routine activity.
    Other than that, next to the THOMOEEEE shouting passive-aggressive moralizing grandpa is a bloodthirsty lesbian running around in samurai armor (at least her storyline is not that bad), and another old fart preaching honor, disciprin, and toradishon also every 2 sentences for a change, not even speaking of the protagonist himself, whose personality is at best 1% of commander Shepard.

    I may have forgotten about a half of things that had some negative impact on my experience from the game, nonetheless, it's a boring stereotypical adventure that only looks nice and has some impressive combat mechanics (in case you play how the developers want you to, which I suggest, otherwise you'll break the game) that would've been pretty cool if a game called Sekiro hasn't already been released. However, not to only insult everything this game stands for, it's pretty funny at the beginning that it won't let you enter stealth, because you're a samurai, therefore you need to introduce yourself and your whole famiry to everyone you decide to attack.
    Also, to my disbelief, the game has one game-changer, and it's the wind mechanic that completely eradicates the necessity for any kind of HUD elements, which is something other games should learn from... But again, in those games at least you can find an epic quest in the corner of the map instead of a retarded banner to upgrade your saddle that nobody ever in the history of gaming cared about.

    Unfortunately, regarding new gameplay mechanics introduced after the intro, there is only a grappling hook. But it's not just any grappling hook - It's the least satisfying grappling hook out of hundreds of games that started implementing grappling hooks in their games 5 years ago, when it was cool. Not counting upgraded combat moves, it's all you encounter throughout its 30-hour campaign filled with repetitive missions to ultimately chase down and kill an Asian version of Steven Seagal in a way that the shogun doesn't like, so he bans you from writing haiku and drinking sake for the rest of your life, because that's what samurai did when nothing was happening.

    Considering the number of Japanese names in the final credits, which is close to 0, despite it just being not a good game, it's not even close to being authentic, and I'd gladly change it for a million Naughty Dog LGBTQ dramas in an instant.    … Expand

    Goods:

    Bads:

    - Gameplay
    You wont ever feel challenged during a fight or immersed during an exploration of this truly beautiful, but empty world. There is no loot. There is not a single goal that is worth any effort. Side quests are just laughable and totally the same. Go there - kill some mongols - done. Hoku - baths - bamboo stands and other activitites help only a little bit. Petting an occasional fox brought some joy but thats it.
    - Story
    I can hardly recall a game that has a poorer and more primitive story than GOT. Even games like bloodborne or DS, even though not telling a single piece of story to a player managed to create some sort of meaning inside a game. Not here sadly. I am not even comparing GOT to titles like AC, Uncharted etc. etc.
    - Music
    Too ambient to be able to create an atmosphere. Just listen to a Diablo 1, Witcher 3 or TES Oblivion OST and you ll know what im talking about. Music is essential for the atmosphere - in GOT music is just there.
    - Atmosphere
    Non existent here. You wont ever feel anything special, you ll never want to live in Tsushima or even visit it.
    - Camera...ohhh that camera....The words i want to use explaining camera in this game should not be used publicly.
    - Dialogues
    Whoever wrote those "long and meaningful" dialogues should be sacked immediately. Do people really converse in 2-4 words sentences? I know its kinda Japanese thing to put as much information into a shortest phrase, but God, it is so boring.

    Overall i had to force myself to finish the game, to explore every single landmark and objective in the game, hoping that something will stir inside of me. But no. It is as incredibly beautiful and perfect graphically as its boring.    … Expand

    I won’t go to much into story, since it’s a matter of taste. I don’t like it, my girlfriend hates it. It’s flat, full of stereotypes and shallow up to the point of an infamous press f to pay respects moment (apparently it’s ok in this game). The premise is pretty much a rescue the princess theme, don’t expect too much.

    People claim this game has the best graphics. Again, aesthetics are up to taste. I think the general art direction is pretty, even though a bit empty at times. But that wouldn’t be much of a problem if the gameplay supported it. On a technological level this game doesn’t convince though. It starts with the lack of necessary HDR settings, which will lead to ridiculously oversaturated colors. Nice to demo your fancy HDR tv at home, but if you’re already past that phase, you’ll prefer something more authentic.
    The skinshading looks a bit dated, other than that the shading is ok, not bad, but definitely not best.
    The game completely falls apart in it’s animation quality though. Bugs aside, the facial animations are stiff, sometimes on the awkward side. Characters in the world don’t follow a day night cycle, which makes them feel more like placeholders in a bad mmorpg. This is also one of the main reasons why the game feels so dead compared to a Witcher 3 (a game from 2015). Also, animations lack polish, you will find characters just pretending to eat, tend wounds, .. you might know this problem from older mmorpgs on tight budgets.
    Cutscenes are very old school, teleporting you back to key locations whenever the script requires you somewhere else.

    Ok, so let’s get into the most interesting part: design. The game pretty much throws you right into all the upgrade options right from the very start, without much onboarding. 1/50 Mongolian Artefakts, 20 supplies, technique points, stances, charms, ... you learn about all of this stuff before you even remotely care about it.
    Fine, I don’t like handholding you might think. Unfortunately that’s pretty much the only part without it.
    I played on hard: every spot within a huge radius around you is automatically marked on the mini map for you, so that exploration is pretty much obsolete. Set the destination, and the wind will guide you there. Too lazy for that? Don’t worry, the game will conveniently place birds and other hints to guide you to those spots, in case you couldn't care less. Too lazy for that? Don’t worry, there is items that make your controller vibrate if you get closer to other items. The game literally pushes you into skipping all the world rushing from one spot to the next one. It’s a mindless experience. Got some materials? The game will tell you what to upgrade, when and where, just use fast travel, no thinking required.
    Missions are scripted with 0% deviation in mind. I invaded a village, killing everyone inside. 10 seconds later I triggered a mission right next to it, which spawned the whole village again, making them plop in right within the cutscene. Climbing segments are heavily linear and remind more of an adventure game, rather than an open world game.
    The game is very pretentious about concepts of Japanese culture like honor and hariaku, yet it’s ok to cut through one of the very few destructibles, the traditional shoji doors of another fellow japanese. There is many cases of such incoherency..
    The combat system is ok, it tends to be fun until you run into all the problems with the AI, which randomly gets stuck idling, or runs out of its very small Aggro radius, or is incapable of climbing a waist high object. There is numerous ways to exploit it unfortunately, partially due to the unbalanced skill tree. Stealth segments are extremely forgiving, up to the point where you can just run through and stab everyone occasionally. It’s not a bad combat system, but it definitely needs much more work.
    The game let’s you switch weather at any time, but also takes this privilege for itself. You might end up riding on a beach in the sunset, with a mission checkpoint triggering fog within a milisecond, without any actual ingame time passing in between. It completely breaks immersion.

    Finally the game is riddled with bugs. NPCs looking in random directions, walking into fire, items disappearing, I’ve seen it all in this game. All in all it’s beyond my understanding, how this game is 12th place in the all time user ratings. Tastes are different, and this game might indeed tick all the boxes for some people. I mean, I love Japanese culture myself. But I fail to see how 15k people think that this is it, a 9.3 out of 10 on average, a masterpiece, despite all of these issues, despite offering not much novelty    … Expand

The vistas and landscape were beautiful, but the minuses severely detracted from the game for me. The creators tried to ape the feel of Kurosawa without understanding the spirit that made his movies great. Additionally the creators Wade into a battle of ahistorical Japanese nationalism without understanding the greater context.

    This game has been really underwhelming. I was expecting so much more but overall, it’s not up to par with other open world games like Red Dead Redemption 2. At least when it comes to immersion, interaction, world building and story telling.

    Maybe this is relevant but I haven’t watched any samurai movies or played any other Japanese based games. I found all the characters in Ghost of Tsushima to be one dimensional and bland. None of the characters are intriguing and their stories didn’t interest me either. The main story was also quite short, predictable, cliched and it just didn’t grip me as much as I was hoping it would. There are some goofy and corny moments in the game that made me cringe but then it dawned on me that Sucker Punch Production games tend to be like this in general. I just can’t vibe with that.

    In regards to the open world, there’s barely any attention to detail and you’ll notice a lot of low resolution environmental textures. The physics are weird and outfits that have capes will blow around with such force INDOORS that it sticks out like a sore thumb. The open world also feels really empty and all the NPCs are lifeless and static. It’s just not an immersive game even though it tries to be. There are many more gripes that I have with Ghost of Tsushima like the laughably bad (and unskippable) cutscenes, animations, camera, braindead ai, etc. It just feels lazy and low effort if I’m being honest and you can tell a lot of corners were cut. It doesn’t feel like an AAA game at all. I uninstalled it straight away after completing it even though I tend to revisit other open world games despite completing them.    … Expand

    Just to be fair, I have been exclusively playing Ghost of Tsushima since launch, nothing else.
    The time period of this game is amazing because we really haven’t had a game set in this time. Yes, you have games like Ninja Gaiden, but that is more of good guys vs demons. Tsushima is not about demons. It’s about man vs man and the conquering of territories.
    What’s great about this game?    Just to be fair, I have been exclusively playing Ghost of Tsushima since launch, nothing else.

    What’s great about this game? The environment. That’s pretty much it. Again, since we never had a game focused during this time period, Sucker Punch did a great job at recreating the landscape.

    What’s bad about the game? Hell, where do I start.

    1) There are points of the game where graphics are very flat. There are no textures whatsoever. You traverse a mountainside and all you see is a flat side. Come on, where’s the person that had that one job to create rocky landscape?

    2) Jin, the main character, is pretty much emotionless throughout the game. You tell him that the town is on fire and his reaction would be, “cool story, bro,” without any facial expressions. All other NPCs emotions are reactionary to what’s happening, which is good.

    3) Character animation can be bad. If you remember in one of the NBA games, you can scan your face and superimpose it on a player so it looks like you’re playing in the game, but your face is all stretched out and whacky looking. Yeah, that’s what a majority of the character’s faces looks like.

    4) You can clearly see elements of other games in Tsushima. What I mean by that, you can spot elements from Assassin’s Creed, Batman, Shadow of Modor, and other open-world games. The ONLY thing that makes this game different than any other game is the time period that the game is set in. Other than that, nothing new original.

    5) Dont get me started on the camera. It's god awful because there are times my sight would be blocked by a building, tree, rock, or something that should go opaque, but never does. Such a rookie mistake.

    With all the above said, this game is clearly NOT a Game of the Year contender nor is it a game of the generation. People saying this are stating this because it’s a new shiny new game and they’ve pretty much got bored and completed all other PS4 exclusives.

    My Verdict: If you’re interested in this game, wait for it to land in the 19.99 and under bin at your local Big Lots. If you're planning to get the PS5 later this year, I would say wait for the PS5 version since Sony will most likely make you pay full retail for the same game.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Why does every game nowadays have to attempt to cram every genre into it? I just want a good hack and slash. The open world formula and constant walking between undiscovered areas gets old too. The combat and stealth are great, but unskippable cutscenes kill replay value and make the game far longer than it really is; typical Sony. Not even that impressed with the story. The whole conflict over marching straight into the enemy while extremely outnumbered versus sneaking around is ****

    Other issues:
    **** finding clues and following footprints. I want proper UI **** clearly showing me where to go next.
    **** the weather and constantly working in dark, rain, etc. Realism isn't that important. Let us turn that **** off.
    **** platforming. Seriously. I'm here to be a samurai, not a goddamn acrobat/rock climber/whatever the **** Who keeps insisting on including that bull**** in every game? Getting to the shrines is just annoying.

    It is basically designed like this:
    A Main Story line
    Lots of side-missions.
    Even more content of rinse and repeat collectibles. Shrines, swords to collect, haiku poem writing, enemy camps to liberate and other nonsense. Does it sound familiar?

    It starts off promising. The game guides you effortlessly trough the game mechanics and off you go.
    The story is ok, but was rather boring by Act III.
    Level design is gorgeous with lovely colours and large flowerfields that pops out on your TV. All is blissfull trough act I to II. But when you hit Act 3 it gets rather depressing.
    The controls are decent. Very similar to AC series. Combat demands some good timing and you gain more moves and weapons as you go.

    It is a long game if you decide to do side quest and other chores on the side. By act III i was tired, i played less and less intervals. All the repetition wore me down. The enthusiasm faded out and the game became a chore. The missions on both main and optional struggles to keep it varied. Just the same go from A to B, Kill a bunch of enemies and speak to someone. (sigh!) The End. Gain Exp.. move on.

    Some technical negative sides:
    Combat works ok in open areas, but once you are in cramped spaces, it becomes hard to pay attention as the camera struggles to find a good viewpoint for you leaving you blind in the heat of the moment.
    Stealth i found wonky, as the enemies are positioned in either groups or they spot you too quick. It felt broken and you just did not bother doing it nice and quiet in the end unless the mission required you to remain unseen.

    Other than that, the game fails to bring a complete package to keep one exciting to the very end. It has all the classic trademark of open-world game failures. So far "only" Rockstar can do it proper. Maybe Watch Dogs 2 was ok as well, at least it kept the story varied.

    Other than that. It´s huge, pretty, but in the end, a dull outing. Being a Samurai game give it no excuses to slip away from a bad score.
    Ubisoft is probably mad now as they can´t make a Shogun based Assassins Creed. Oh well.    … Expand

    It’s not horrible, but it’s nowhere near an AAA title. Character models suck, and I don’t think they used motion capture at all. At least that’s what it looks like. Sometimes there are a couple of moments where the world is nice... but in RDR2 and TLOU2 there was not a single point to critique, compared with this...

    Voice acting is also not very good.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the most repetitive games I have ever played. Every single quest is almost identical. Pick it up, run to a spot, fight a bunch of Mongols or Bandits or Straw Hats, turn in. There is a quest mid game with Yuriko that goes on for over an hour and doesn’t let you skip all of her awful dialogue, doesn’t let you run or gallop 90% of the time, and is just downright cringe the entire time. It is basically a one hour stay at an old folks’ home listening to a stranger and having no ability to go anywhere the entire time. It was literally the worst quest I’ve ever played in 30+ years of gaming.

    There are dozens of little places to clear and they are almost all copy/pastes. The first few are fun, but it gets old very quickly. The lock on without lock on is absolutely awful. You have no control over it but there is a lock on and you will regularly attack targets you do not intend to.

    Lastly the controls: awful and great. They nailed stances much better than Nioh. Sadly they completely boffed up the utility abilities. I think it is mostly just a limitation of the junk controller that Sony puts out. Maybe PS5 will be much more intuitive.

    Graphics are great. Story is so-so. The writers should have written out timelines for each character. Some of them have so many different “I was in this awful situation for years...” that they’d have to be twice as old as presented in game. They also tossed in a lot of immersion breaking SJW trash. Gay guy misses his dead lover that had a wife and kids. A main character has a lesbian relatIonship, is in her 60s, and fights better than almost all men in the game. 1/2 of the boss encounters that are not Mongols are females, in ancient Japan. Almost every town leader is a female as well. It just wreaks of Anita Sarkeesian’s opinions.

    I give it a 4. It is playable and has its fun moments, but it goes on twice as long as is tolerable with its very limited variety of quests and settings. The graphics are amazing for a PS4 but do not compare to what many PC games give you these days. Mostly the game is getting hype because people are bored to tears. Oh, and it is way too easy. The combat is never challenging even on hard.

    Finished it today. The main story is really good, and almost redeems many flaws.    … Expand

    Direction, art, environments – GoT is a beautifully directed game. It is so full of breathtaking touches.

It's like comparing a very high definition Michael Bay movie to a classic Hitchcock, Kubrick or Kurosawa. I know which environment I would rather spend time in.

    I'll avoid a lengthy review here, but summarize with this: even in the PS4 Pro's "framerate" mode, the game downscales from 1800p to 1080p and still only manages to hit 30 FPS. That is pathetic.

    Honestly, it’s just ok. The combat is what is not doing it for me. No lock on. Jin just aimlessly swings his sword and misses half the time. You have to manually move the camera around because the camera view will change constantly while you’re in combat. Even if it’s just one person you’re fighting, somehow the character will miss that person or just swing behind himself. Like wtf are youHonestly, it’s just ok.

Watched this dude for 2 mins walk into a horse. He was supposed to be searching for me, but just kept on walking into the horse lol if you’re Alerted the AI will group up all stupidly to search for you, and if they find you, you get gangbang. Most likely die because the camera view will change with each parry, godforbid you’re inside of a house or near a tree, because that’ll now become your camera view. A frickin wall. The main character lost my respect when he keeps crying about his honor, oh my honor boo hoo. He doesn’t want to assassinate people. He was willing to risk the lives of people who have been enslaved, raped or worse, just to protect “his honor”. So stupid. Other than that, the game really has nothing to offer. It’s the same basic side missions, saving randoms you’ll never meet again, same ol tiredness cutscene that last for like a minute before a “boss fight” and you can’t skip it. It’s like every open world game out there. It’s ok if you’re just trying to kill time gaming. It’s fun, but there is the basic repetitiveness and sometimes satisfying combat. Would wait for sale to get it if anyone’s on the fence. If you’ve played any open world game, this is that just as a samurai. It doesn’t offer anything really that makes it stand out. Graphics is not a selling point. It’s 2020, if you haven’t mastered making a “visually beautiful game” by now, kys. I’ve never been sold on graphics. Everything has good graphics during its time.… Expand

Costumizations and upgrades are really amzing to max out and design jin with interesting clothing you wanted and stances are really interesting to beat every enemy type. The negative thoughts i had about this game is the lack of writing for the main story and the characters surrounds it especially Jin Sakai too that most times really dull to follow and Made me don't care about them but aspect form the side Story is really amazing to follow and doing like the mytic tales side story for example and so as the animation for each individual really annoying for some times but i hope Sucker Punch Made an update about the glitch and stuff.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a decent game with a good story. But the gameplay mechanics leave a lot to be desired, as it's nothing we haven't seen before. Gameplay seems to borrow from other games before it, such as the Witcher 3. And though Ghost of Tsushima is not on the level as the Witcher 3, it's still really enjoyable to play.

    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.
