    Японский Assassin's Creed на минималочках, очень слабая игра, даром потраченные деньги. Зайдет японцам как обычное пафосно-патриотическое поделие на внутренний рынок, сюжет полностью оторван от действительности. Это как создать игру где Киевская Русь победила монголов.

    Я не хочу испортить это. Я бы предпочел, чтобы вы сами это увидели, поиграв в игру или увидев ее позже в интернете. Когда титры прокатились после финальной сцены, я почувствовал себя в кинотеатре и готов злиться.

    You get to be a samurai.
    You get to hunt. You get to upgrade your armor and weapons.
    You get upgrade your techniques.
    You get to change your fighting stance/styles for different enemies.
    You get to free roam. You get to get lost in the beauty of the game.

    No where near done with the story but it seems ok so far.

    I didn't really feel like this game brought anything new to the table in terms of open world gameplay. it uses and borrows a-lot throughout the game from the mission design to the skill trees. To me it almost felt like a OG AC with amazing visual might I add just didn't really pull me in without any fresh ideas

    fantastic though its vivid aesthetic relies largely on lighting. When the lighting engine moves into a less saturated colour palette, for instance during overcast weather the game can begin to look a whole lot less pleasing to the eye.
    Unfortunately this often becomes the case as the weather seems to rapidly change to storms and rain whenever you choose to use stealth tactics which is a nice idea but ultimately in game it can become a little tedious for the beautiful colour palette to be suddenly replaced by uninspired dreariness.

    Sadly its clear that most of the development was focused on the engine because a lot of the game elsewhere often feels lacking. The stealth I found at first extremely tedious, AI is extremely dull and the environments where a lot of the engagements take place, ie the villages are poorly designed with stealth in mind and the combination of this can lead to tedium. Gameplay can easily devolve into sneaking up on enemies as they stand staring blankly at the side of a tent fixated on absolutely nothing, this can really break immersion. As you start to get a broader tool set around the 20 hour mark or so you can afford to play more aggressively and the game became bearable. The sword combat is serviceable but some very unconventional and unintuitive weapon/stance switching (which also really hurts the feeling of stealth) makes it feel very clunky at first but starts to feel better later into the game.

    Then on to he most egregious aspects of the game, the writing, the acting and the quests. Honestly the incredibly tedious characterization just made me want to skip every cutscene, the most generic characters I have seen in a sony game for as long as I can remember acted so flatly that it multiplies the tedium to the point of mind numbing boredom when ever there is a cut scene. I honestly think a minimalist approach to story telling in line with maybe something like shadow of the colossus would have been a much better idea. A stronger focus on character designs rather than limp dialog can go a long way. It honestly brings the whole game down considerably for me.

    Then there are the quests, not once quest so far has been anything other than incredibly uninspired and tedious. some of the most odious fetch/shopping list quests I have seen, I find it truly baffling the many reviewers who claim the TLOU2 had dated gameplay though STAN this as being anything other than passable.

    Its clear that some misguided agenda is driving the positive reviews, not that Sony care, at the end of the day TLOU2 was always going to sell well despite the negative reviews. This on the other hand could do with all the help it could get.

    Congratulations, you played yourselves. Sony and the world are laughing at you.

    It was visually appealing and great if you like to take virtual photography, but nothing new to add to video games in general. Although it is entertaining to play at times, the lead character is dull, the story is meh, and the gameplay is like Ubisoft open world games mixed with assassins creed swordplay. It’s fun, but not a game-changer.

ButI have played nothing else but Tushima for a while, I'm starting the third act because I like doing everything a game has to offer, including the incredibly boring side quests this game has to offer hoping one of them will surprise me. I wanted to like the game, I even pre-ordered it and I dont really pre-order games except for the last of us part 2 which was an absolute masterpiece. But here we have to talk about tsushima, I don't even care to type its full name because it is not a full game.

    Story is so bland it could have probably been compressed to some kind of black mirror episode and it still would have been pretty boring, the characters have nothing to offer, no believable performances from any of them, and the bad animation does not help either. I get that the story is supposed to be basted on what happened, on reality, but MAN talk about bad execution, and there are too many elements that make this game so irrational in its own universe that I was mostly disappointingly laughing at it. there are a couple of scenes here and there that are acceptable, but honestly, killing a dog in TLoU2 was more shocking than any of those scenes.

    I have no idea how anyone can praise this games graphics, they are at best comparable to The witcher 3 that came out 5 years ago and even then it would lose. It does have some pretty scenery and that's about the best thing of the game, but it is greatly overshadowed by the emptiness of it all

    This game is with no doubt the most disappointing game I have ever bought, and I bought superman 64 as a kid, how this game is 9.3 at this point is simply unbelievable, even an 7 seems to much for this game, I wish I could have a refund of my money and time spent on it    … Expand

The story is ok and the game has a great atmosphere. The story missions and side quests are well thought out. The wind effects are good. That being said, the world is boring and empty. There is not much to do in the open world. The lighting effects were downgraded from E3. The horse clips through the foliage, even though the E3 version didn't show that. I know it had to be downgraded to make the game run better, but it's still no excuse for lack of dynamic foliage.

    The physics are a complete joke. When I shoot the enemies with the bow, they flip around horribly with bad animations. When I shoot an enemy off a bridge, there is no ragdoll physics present and they fall off like statues. When I put the horse in the edge of a bridge, it doesn't trip and fall like in RDR 2. Instead, the horse magically jumps in the air. These trash physics are so bad, it reminds me of the awful physics present in those low budget Farming Simulator clones. The AI is incredibly stupid. The horse mechanics are garbage. The player movement animation looks terrible.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. Charging $60 for a game with no replay value is a cashgrab. I would have been fine with no multiplayer if this game had so much depth and content like Red Dead Redemption 2. Unfortunately, all you can do in the open world is ride a horse and play a stupid flute. I recommend you get this game until it drops to $15 or wait until it's free on PS Plus.    … Expand

    A very forgettable story with bland characters and a generic hero who’s name you’ll forget as you play him. Great fighting system that gets old fast. Style is gorgeous. The art direction is really great. However you’ve seen better engines with Death Stranding/Horizon. Overal a disappointing game. Yes the movement is cool but how many times can you go through the same exact fight?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unfortunately, this is an example of a game that starts like a really great one, but then ruins almost everything it archived in the first hours of the gameplay.

    The world has too many repetitive activities. Waaaay too many, and they are too boring when you do them 7th time in the past 2 hours. Also, the world feels kinda... dead? You have a short number of activity’s types, but nothing else.

    And you cannot go to something else when you are on one of the main quests - game literally tells you that you need to go back.

    The animations are repetitive too. When you meet your first fox, it’s exiting, but then you meet another one, and another, and they all are literally the same. Or maybe it’s the same fox indeed, haha. And you are going to see her 48 more times if you want to honor all shrines. AND THE ANIMATIONS ARE THE SAME. EVERY. FREAKING. TIME.

    You are going to see a black screen with some background sounds a lot. Feels like developers were cutting corners to save time, but it took about 6 years to make this game anyway, which is, again, weird.

    The textures look like they are from PS2 sometimes. I do not know why are we still having problems with textures in 2020, but wooden things and the snow are just… bad too often.

    And it’s noticeable even when you are fighting / riding.

    The models look really nice, but the world around them looks cheap. Colors and motion in the environment helps with that a lot actually, but why cannot you make a good-looking wooden bridge, Sucker Punch? It’s not that hard.

    And don’t let me start on the collision. Jin’s feet go inside a roof when he stands on it, and inside the snow without it deforming. It happens a lot. Oh, and you can literally gallop through the bamboo forest. Look, your horse is a ghost too! Not funny.

    SPOILER: the main story is a one big cliché. You can totally guess the final boss simply by watching the trailer. Seriously.

    Allies missions are much better than the main story, so there is at least something.

    Now to the good things - combat is the coolest feature of the game, at least when you do not have 5 mongols all around you. Then the camera is your biggest enemy, and you do not have a target lock. OMG.

    Stop, we were talking about good things. Ok.

    The music is astonishing.

    The overall atmosphere of the game is great, mostly because of the music, landscapes in motion (please don’t stop to look into details, trust me) and the one-on-one combat.

    So, let’s summarize it: first several hours are great, by they are ruined by following repetitiveness. The main story is meh, but allies quests are nice. Technical aspect is not great too - too many things look like they are undone or done badly. One-on-one combat is lit, but not the combat with a group of enemies. The game’s atmosphere is wonderful if you force yourself to ignore the bad things I’ve listed. Music is great.

    I really hope Ghost falls into step of Days Gone, and Sucker Punch team will fix all the bugs, awful textures, the camera and the group combat.

    I do not recommend buying the game right now, better wait for more patches (and maybe when it goes on sale).

    It’s a stylish, but not at all polished game, also it's really boring after first few hours, which is so sad and disappointing.    … Expand

    I am afraid this game fell short of all my expectations. It is probably the only PS exclusive that I really didn't like. Beautiful environments as well as the well thought out skill and combat system are what makes this game shine. However the game drowns under a ridiculous amount of cutscenes.

It is probably the only PS exclusive that I really didn't like. Beautiful environments as well as the well thought out skill and combat system are what makes this game shine. However the game drowns under a ridiculous amount of cutscenes. Every interaction with any (relevant or not) NPC AND the environment starts a 10-20 second, extremely unnecessary cutscene. The game is approximately 32-35 hours (with side missions) of 5-7 minutes of repetitive fights in between multiple cutscenes. Unfortunately the cutscenes also suffer from the blandness of the story and sub-story lines. About 90% of them are two people talking in front of a blurred out open field. Subquest lines provide shallow insights into characters' background and present pawns that are impossible to identify with (some of these characters have almost no screen appearance). The missions and the "acts" deploy very similar and familiar mechanics that get old very fast. While the idea of a realistic combat is admirable (the enemies usually go down in 3-4 sword hits), it turns the game into a slash and dash that you don't particularly have to pay attention to, to get through. I finished the game in "hard" (the max difficulty) and I got hit maybe 20 times throughout the entire game, paying hardly any attention to what was going on the screen (terrible camera angles make it impossible to see anyway). The glaring attack "tells" combined with the already easy-to-avoid nature of the enemies, render the enemy AI irrelevant. It felt like they were attacking the air at times. Compared to the standards Sekiro has brought to the sword gameplay (that requires you to be alert at all times and constantly strategising), Ghost of Tsushima falls short and misses the mark by large. A lot of good ideas that aren't explored to their full potential.… Expand

    Game plays a bit like LOTR Assassinscreed games. If you like the setting, you probably going to like it more and longer than i did but the mechanics are nothing new or unique.
    Visuals are above average, audio is fine. Models look very static at times but gameplay is overall good.

    I am extremely disappointed with this game. Sony has been publishing something that in the end does not correspond to anything shown in the trailers. very poorly optimized game and graphics far below promised. seriously a good game if it weren't for sony's lies. The story is ok despite cliché and the gameplay is cool, except for the moments that the camera gets in the way.

    And it's impossible to critique the game without fanboys crying foul and responding with immature ad hominems, but I still felt the need to voice a dissenting opinion in here because all you ever see is praise like people have never played an open world game before and are happy with another ubisoft clone.

    I think this game will be forgotten in short order and deservedly so.    … 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.
