    Impressionant game.
    Amazing graphics, nice story, awesome gameplay and combat,
    The story is interesting and captivating the protagonist isn't charismatic but is understandable because the protagonist lost everything. The graphics are amazing because the details of the world, the vegetation and the illumination are beautiful. The combat is awesome you actually fells like a samurai in    Impressionant game.

    An interesting story with somewhat unoriginal game design. If you like Ubisoft games or just big action-adventure titles it will provide a very enjoyable experience. Just a word of warning, if you go for 100% completion the game can get pretty repetitive by the end.

    Coming from the The Witcher 3, Assassins Creed open worlds, O can say that this game is an absolute masterpiece in the open world saga it’s exploration mode, quest lining structure and the way the story is developed with the inside into each character of the island is Amazing. For me is a 10 only complain is the cámara which sometimes is complete diarrhea in combat.

    Graphics
    Its really good, grass, shadows, wind, particles - everything looks perfect, and game runs good on ps4, without any lags, freezes and fps drops. Also ps4 is not that loud, as it was with Jedi Fallen order or CoD 2019.
    Music
    Its just wonderful. Especially, if you like Japanese music
    Dialogs
    Im not sure, 'cause I play on Russian, but I think they are ok

    Scenes look fantastic, like in old films of Akira Kurosawa

The world is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous and I find myself taking a moment from time to time to take it all in. The story has me gripped so far!

Not much else I’ll say on that part.. though I have a feeling I’m gonna cry like I did with Red Dead 2, Metro Exodus, Death Stranding, Halo 3, and Assassins Creed Odyssey. Speaking of which, if you’re a fan of the ubisoft formula and like checking stuff off but want something a tad more fresh, this is definitely for you.

    The only gripes I have are that sometimes the game looks like it came out during this console generations start in regulars to characters. The models don’t look as good as they could be. And the lip syncing is kinda off. (I’m playing on a PS4 Slim that barely gets used cause I mostly play on Xbox. And I chose to have them speaking English with the normal filter on, so if that’s the reason then forgive me XD). When you run through bamboo forests you literally can walk through the bamboo whether on horseback or foot. Like.. it pulls me out of it if I think about it. I only hope they fix it. Because being able to walk through trees kinda breaks the immersion. As well as the fact that whenever Jin pulls out his bow he pulls it out of thin air and grabs at a quiver that isn’t there. I’ve not checked to see if other outfits have the same issue.. perhaps it’s just because I have the traveler outfit on.. but if not then I don’t like that.

    Please note I’ve only spent a few hours in the game and have not seen it all through yet. This is just an initial review. If you like historical open world games or want to live your Samurai fantasy, this is a must buy. But it definitely isn’t for everyone.    … Expand

    Gameplay, story, graphics & sound are all terrific. What puts this game into all time great territory for me is that is has so much personality, style & soul. So many soulless open world games have been made in the last 10 years, this is not one of them.

    Also, the lack of any and all micro transactions or monetization is a breath of fresh air.

This is the best way to end the PS4, and better take notes Naughty Dog, because this is way better than TLOU2.

The combat, sure it can get repetitive at times, but I had a fun time that it wouldn't want me to stop. After I beat the game in English, I've replayed the game in a harder difficulty, but only this time, in Cinema mode, where you get to play the game is black and white just like the old samurai films made by the late Akira Kurosawa. It made me remanence the old classic black and white movie that were made in Japan as a child like Godzilla.

    In conclusion, this game was a fun game that I would love to replay it again. Not to mention that it doesn't forcefully push agenda and cram SJW into the game *cough TLOU2 cough*. And no, this game is NOT racist towards Japanese, so stop speaking for them and let them hear what they had to say, otherwise, you'll be hated by the Japanese for saying false information and it makes you the racist one, not Sucker Punch.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a competent open world game, and the high point of the game is definitely the sword play and combat. The most fun I had playing the game was when I was surrounded by enemies, switching furiously between stances and beating down a bunch of mongols. The scenery and camera mode are also notable: I imagine GoT’s camera mode will be the gold standard for the next decade.Ghost of Tsushima is a competent open world game, and the high point of the game is definitely the sword play and combat. The most fun I had playing the game was when I was surrounded by enemies, switching furiously between stances and beating down a bunch of mongols. The scenery and camera mode are also notable: I imagine GoT’s camera mode will be the gold standard for the next decade. Gone are the days where you take a single still. The camera lets you track shots, move from point to point, change the focal length and depth of field. The scenery is beautiful, too, so capturing exceptionally good shots is a breeze. The rest of the game is pretty average. The story tries to embody the samurai films that inspire it, but is mostly filled with classic video game cliches and forgettable characters—it even feels really forced and overly simplistic. The quest and level design are both competent, but not something to really write home about—the camps are all reasonably the same, the quests all have the same trajectory (and normally two or three fights) with different characters and stories that are almost entirely forgettable or interchangeable. Even the main quest lines conclude with a siege. Twice. In a row. It felt like they ran out of ideas. The biggest disappointment is the stealth component. In a game whose story purportedly attempts to pit the honor code of the samurai against “dishonorable” stealth tactics, you’d think they’d actually put some time in the stealth mode. The AI is just awful—to test it, I one time walked back and forth across the view cone of a guard from one patch of tall grass to another. 20 times. Never once did they look through the grass. The terrible AI really makes the middling level design feel a lot worse than it really is. It’s just plain boring. I found myself just wanting to stick to the samurai honor code because the combat is so much better than stealth.

    In the end, the game has some good parts. But I think it’s pretty average overall. GoT won’t be replacing Assassin’s Creed as the premiere stealth game, or getting nominated for any GOTY awards, any time soon.    … Expand

    MASTERPIECE! Perfectly balanced gameplay which allows you to chose your own style. The stealthy and agressive modes are both extremely satisfying to play with. Graphics are great and the story is brilliant: long and varied! 10 out of 10 for me. I wish all games had this kind of gameplay style: choice is everything.

    Only thing that’s bad with this game is the Japanese dialogue didn’t match with lips, Jin can’t jump down anything and the camera angle messed you up sometimes but that can be easily fixed in a update/patch

The reason for the 9 is the because you can feel the love for what the game was based off of which is old school samurai movies, and it captures the feeling perfectly. I highly recommend if you enjoy beautiful open world games and deep customization or a fan of samurais.… Expand

    while it may not be the best the hardware can do. Ghost is beautiful none the less. The color palette and landscape are amazing. I have just had pure fun with this. The swordplay is awesome and with so many variants never feels old. This game was what I needed after my disappointment with The Last Of Us 2. Games above all else should be fun. This is Fun.

The graphics in this makes game looks absolutely gorgeous...helps you get fully immersed into the game. Voice acting for Japanese (the one I'm currently using in the game) is very well done. I haven't tried the English setting on the game. This game is a must have. I've been wanting a great samurai game like this and I'm glad that Sucker Punch was able to deliver just that.

I really couldn't care less and I wanted to skip the badly dubbed cut scenes.. but you can't, so you have sit the often cringy dialogue out.
    The controls are terrible and feel weird and awkward. The way the character moves ,the combat, the camera.. there is really nothing to keep playing for me. There is a black and white mode, but who cares? I don't want to play grayscale games on my Ps4 pro and my LG OLED. The lack of originality, the lack of subtlety, the tackiness... just makes the game of poor quality. Especially compared to The Last Of Us: 2. The latter game has so much thought and detail put into everything. I think that game might have set the bar too high for games now. Ghost of Tsushima feels lazy, boring and repetitive.

    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.
