    Игра - шикарна! Виды Цусимы заставляют постоянно делать остановки на любование. Музыка, визуальная часть, атмосфера, японская озвучка, боевая система - все это делает данную игру произведением искусства. Давно не получала такого удовольствия от прохождения. Спасибо Sucker Punch, от меня игра года, заслуженно!Игра - шикарна! Виды Цусимы заставляют постоянно делать остановки на любование.

But i can just say wow to every other aspect of the Game i Love the World. The story is not entertaining and i just cant stop playing it. Every day since release i played it as much i can.

    Only reason I gave it a 9 instead of 10 is the few graphical and physics glitches. people will clip through walls and floors when dead and sometimes spears like to spin like a top when dropped. Other than that it's an amazing game.

    This game ist just awesome. Sucher Punch has done an absolutely great job. One of the most polished games ever, it is on the same level of quality like Horizon Zero Dawn. You can expect an ultimate grade of perfection for every detail of this game. Something you will only get on Playstation, since no other platform has something similar which they could put in this race.

    Good so far, will probably raise to an 8 when I finish it. Kinda janky though, and follows the same kind of open-world structure so many other AAA games do. I hate that a lot of the 10’s are coming from people that hated TLoU2. Also for some reason woke NPC’s are complaining about this? I know nobody who is. Chud culture sucks.

    В эту игру хочется играть, хочется пройти все вопросы, исследовать Цусиму. Этот мир очень красив, пейзажи восхищают, особенно, когда ты просто едешь на коне и смотришь на поля, леса, птиц, реки, очень красиво. Боевка приятна, ты чувствуешь катану, чувствуешь лук, очень не хватает расчлененки, скиллы тоже полезные, заставляют чувствовать тебя настоящим мастером самураем.

Из минусов - нет возможности пропустить диалоги, задания похожи друг на друга геймплейно - убить монголов - поговорить - поездить - поговорить - получить оберег. Для меня игра стала ассасином в хорошем смысле, без псевдо роле плея, интересный мир, скрытные убийства одним ударом, интересный сюжет. Советую не только пройти, но и выбить платину, здесь она для меня выбивается без отвращения к игре… Expand

    I absolutely love this game! The combat is interesting and engaging, the world is stunning and its an overall fun game. I only have some small gripes, such as the game needed a little more polish (i.e. items just despawning instead of a holstering animation, Jin clipping through stairs as he walks up/down them, etc). This is definitely one of my top 5 favorite games.

    Os gráficos estão realmente muito bons, mas vários objetos no jogo como, árvores e pedras não tem física, o que faz a gameplay ficar um pouco estranha, a iluminação é péssima, a história não te prende, e as cut scenes são horríveis, mas dou nota 5 pois os gráficos são bons e o combate é fácil de aprender e muito interessante

I would recommend this game to anyone who is a fan of open world games like skyrim, the witcher 3, and assassins creed tho it is NOT an assassins creed clone . This game does alot of good things and almost never falls flat.. definitely a buy in my opinion

    Não é um jogo estilo Nioh e Sekiro em que você precisa enfrentar monstros. Aqui, o combate é somente com humanos a alguns animais selvagens, nada desse mundo fantasioso dos jogos citados.

    Existem melhorias a serem feitas no jogo? Óbvio, mas nada que umas atualizações não arrumem.
    Os bugs (após o patch 1.04) atrapalham a experiencia do jogo? De maneira alguma.

    Sim, as texturas poderiam ser mais polidas e as expressões faciais também, mas como já disse, nada que desabone o jogo.

    Thing is, if this was released a few years ago, I would’ve given it a 10. Some of it’s features and mechanics seem outdated, such as the overly-simple stealth & it’s extremely exploitable and predictable during stealth. I’m a stealthy boi, and this is the first game with a stealth option that I chose to go for the combat route instead. A few others are the cutscene-to-gameplay transitions, some conversation cutscenes resemble the lifelessness and stiffness of the ones in AC: Odyssey, and some missions feel to much like a to-do list that I just have to keep ticking off boxes.

    Overall, I highly recommend this game. It’s a lot of fun, it let’s you live out your samurai dreams, and it’s a strong end to the PS4 generation, but nothing really groundbreaking.    … Expand

    4. If you enter a boss fight, whatever amount of resolve (resolve is your heals, and the energy bar for special moves.) you have, that is all you will ever have in that fight, so if you think "let me just back out, fill up my resolve, then come back and try the boss fight again." That is not happening. You must abandon the entire mission to do that, then come back and start from the beginning of the mission.
    5. The game is very buggy. Keep in mind these don't happen all the time, there's just a chance you may encounter them.
    - If you assassinate an enemy as they are about to notice you, there is a chance that it will do the full assassination animation while the detection bar will still fill to red alert, and after the animation is done, instead of dying the enemy will begin attacking as if he was never killed.
    - if you realize your charm slots aren't being used to the best of their capabilities during a boss fight, and you pause the game as soon as you load back in from a death and adjust them, when you unpause, you'll see that resolve bar you came into the boss fight, that was full with 6 orbs, and it had stayed that way the past 14 attempts...... is now empty.
    - at one point my character became a walking weapon. His foot would just barely scrap a fire barrel and it would explode. If i approached a horse or any npc that can take damage, i would bump into them and you'd hear a slicing sound, they'd react, and they'd be low on HP.
    - idk what this was, but when i went along a mountain side it went from a dark foggy night, to clear with a bright moon, so i turned around and it went back to foggy and dark again. I went back and forth a few times and when i looked up the moon was swinging wildly left and right in the sky.
    -i don't think this was intended, so I'm calling it a glitch. When climbing down a wall, you will occasionally land on a ledge, but if you don't immediately let go of L3 and push R2, your character will take the biggest jump he can off that ledge. Generally killing you.
    -There's more, these are just what i remember off the top of my head.
    6. Enemy NPC movements are unrealistic and it makes the game unnecessarily difficult. Case and point. The enemy swings his sword at you, you dodge to the left, his body GLIDES to the left and maintains the same distance from you it did before you dodged, so even though you dodged, you still get hit. This is especially troubling when the enemy does a 9 hit combo and even though you rolled 10 feet away from him, every swing he makes GLIDES him closer and closer to you, until you get hit, and since it's a 9 hit combo, you get hit again and again.
    7. This ties in with #6. In a boss fight there is an invisible wall, now usually in a game like this, if you hit a wall in the boss fight, you can still move at normal speed to dodge in another direction. However, say you get pushed into a wall by one of those ridiculous combos that make the enemy glide right next to you. When you try to roll out of the way, the invisible barrier seems to stick to you like goo, because your characters movements become sluggish, like you are caught on the wall. This usually results in you getting obliterated.
    8. This is me being petty, but i hate spearmen and archers. I think it's dumb that the starting samurai armor is irreparably damaged, and after you get a new set to replace it, the old broke samurai armor stays in your inventory. Same with the fact that you cant fix the starting gear you get with an outfit, you have to upgrade the outfit to a slightly less broke but still fairly imperfect counterpart, like maybe i want the same straw hat but without holes, and how come an upgrade gets me a cooler looking hat, but the hat is badly damaged or flawed in some way (looking at you Ronin outfit.) I do appreciate now you can still reequip the previous hat though.
    9. On occasion during a fight you will hit the dodge button repeatedly but your character will just stand there and take damage.
    10. Also on occasion you may be mashing the attack buttons, and your character will just stand there doing nothing. I've seen this particularly when your character is exchanging words with a boss. You can move, but you can't attack while they're talking to each other.
    11. The inventory upgrades are severely limited, and the upgrade requirements are unrealistically high. Like if you start off with 3 kunai, you'd think the end result is a max level 9 kunai pouch..... but no. You have to get 30 BEAR PELTS (Do you know how large a bear pelt is?!) For an extra 2 kunai. Same with the fire arrows, and explosive arrows, and..... well, all of it. Except regular arrows for the half bow.

    Flaws aside the combat is fun, the story is great, and the map layout is beautiful.    … Expand

    Story was good, it was dark, gritty, and satisfying 'till the end. All the characters were extremely well done. The game actually gets you to feel the emotions, like with the Yuriko quests.
    The graphics alone put this game at an 8/10. This will be the few games that you will actually use the photo mode, trust me. The character customization is fun and is actually good. Meaning they dont look like sh*t. The white traveler gear with the headband of death was my favorite. Tracking quests with the wind was something I haven't seen in any game. The devs did a great job with keeping the hud to bare bones.
    The main quests, side quests, interactions with npcs was done very well. Close to what Witcher 3 did, but they messed up a bit in this area. The mystic quests were by far the best, despite the rewards were sh*t. Lets be honest, you're never going to use the ugly ass armor they give you at the end of it. Side quests were good, alot of them had an interesting story, but the way the quest is played it is almost the same as the others. Go to this area, follow footprints, fight enemy, etc. The side quests stories were still very good and not all were like this. Just wished they added a little more diversity in them. Adding choices in the quests is a strong start like Witcher 3 did.
    Gameplay obviously isn't something we haven't seen in a Far cry game or an AC game. Liberate the area with optional objectives, rescue civilians from the bad guys, do the collectibles around the world for stuff, climb and swing; rinse and repeat. This is the biggest drawback since all the damn ac games and Far Crys do this. This makes the game boring if you've played other games like it before. The water mechanic was so good but you almost never use it. This is where I think they couldve helped diversify gameplay.
    The animations outside combat kinda suck a** not gonna lie. The only good one is sheathing and unsheathing katana. Too many examples of this, but a few are when you accept the rewards from peasants after saving them, when you put away your flute, when you dismount the same exact time as your companion does, sometimes random npcs will zip by you at like 60 mph. Some more examples, but this is extremely immersion breaking when you see it. Especially the currency, which are supplies. I had like 4k bags of supplies at one point. The amount rooms that would take up lol. Gold would have been fine even tho a war is going on. It still would make more sense. The game can be also a little buggy. Sometimes you will launched in the air when doing an attack in a weird angle/area, a fox wont show up at their den, the enemy AI will turn away from you randomly when approaching them, a lot of times when you jump you get stuck on a rock for a good 10+ seconds before readjusting. There are a few more as well. If this was once an awhile, It wouldn't be a problem. But you will notice it once you spend at least 20+ hours in the game.
    Next is part of the combat. Like I said before, it is very good. But the devs decided to add like 9 different throwables/usables for no apparent reason. There are sticky bombs, black firebombs, firecracker, wind chimes, explosive arrows, throwing knives, smoke bombs, and flaming sword, posion dart, and an additional bow. I do like the dual bows because each serve a purpose, but all the others? Goddamn. Did they really think we would use them all? . They should've kept the bows and all the Quickfire weapons. The sticky bomb is still unnecessary tho. The wind chine and firecracker literally do the same thing, a distraction. A whistle would be fine lol or a fkin unlimited rock. The shrines, collectibles, activities, etc are slightly excessive but still fun. They could've at least taken out a few of them like the stupid a** banners, vanity gear, crickets and one of the shrines. Its so obvious they are all fillers and Its annoying when games do this too excessively. The activities are fun however.
    The crafting could've been done better. Especially with the trapper gear. Its literally just all predator hides, increasing in required amount as you upgrade. This just felt lazy like with some of the animation. Leather, silk, linen, etc are already in the game lol. Im sure the trapper would know how to. Same with the black/white dyes. They all require flowers, despite the color. You could have only blue and yellow in the inventory, but you can still make that white dye. This may seem petty and insignificant, but they did everything else so well with the detail and immersion. Why give up in a few areas? Doesn't make sense.
    Alot of these can be fixed with an update since they arent anything too big. They just all add up, hard to avoid.

The only time you feel as a samurai is when dueling which is by far the best thing in this game. The transformation from an honorable samurai to a dishonorable warrior comes naturally to Jin and rather easy to someone who spent his entire life up until that moment as a samurai.

    I'm a "casual gamer". I don't have a PS4 but upon release I knew I had to play this game - so I made arrangements to make it possible!

    The short version is that this game was a whole experience for me. It isn't groundbreaking, but what it does, it does so well! The gameplay, the story, the world, the combat, the pace, the acting, the soundtrack - the beauty!

    There is no grind, which often can be the case with these kinds of games, and every progress happens naturally and follows the story. Skills and gear and outfits are given to you through missions, improved as you go along - you'll find that you'll have gathered enough resources to upgrade and keep up - and it really allows the player to focus on the story, instead of stressing about money, resources and LEVEL!
    I opted for the English version, so I wasn't looking at the subtitles at the bottom of the screen, but could just look at the visuals as I was riding a long the road getting a briefing by my companion. The actors did a great job, really sucked me into the emotions of this already enthralling story. The characters are fleshed out and I don't remember ever being bored with them. I really like Jin as a character, and I preferred the more stoic and calm performance Daisuke delivers, over the slightly more aggressive Japanese performance by Kazuya (both great performances though). I'll be listing them all so I'll just conclude: I liked them all!
    The story is good and well-written. They stuck to the themes that have been the core of good storytelling since the dawn of... storytelling. Which was a very smart thing to do because it works, and will never not work. It's not "cliché", it's human.
    The combat in this game is the best combat in a game like this, I've ever experienced. You feel the hits and the blows and the clashing of swords. You aren't hacking and slashing away on enemies, instead your weapon actually does damage, and you most definitely take damage. The fight animations are superb and there were times where I felt like such a badass, just hitting the right buttons, in perfect choreography.
    Here I should mention the only critique I can think of right now: THE CAMERA! In fights, especially when there are more than one enemy, it goes completely off. Swings away from your enemies so you're looking behind Jin instead of seeing the enemies that are attacking you from the front. Or it ends up blocked, in bushes or walls. I died a considerable number of times because of it.
    It's a beautiful game. It's quite realistic but also very stylised. It's a perfect balance. The world isn't oversaturated - in a field of grass, that's all there is. In a bamboo forest, that's all there is. and it totally works that way! I have played many other games where they went for realism, but with all the different textures and object thrown on top of each other to achieve it, it can end up looking overwhelming. In other words, the visual style and design of GoT is EASY to read (aesthetics, you know).
    The artistic freedom they took with this game works too. It not only makes the visual experience so great, but it also helps the pace of the game a great deal - they really just allowed themselves to focus on what's important (the experience) and ignore the technical aspects of every single thing. Playing GoT I have been reminded that artistic freedom when employed in fiction set in real history definitely has it's strengths, and shouldn't be deemed to be of poor quality because something wasn't historically correct. I'm a history buff and I didn't care - I was a samurai in Japan. I didn't care about the four seasons happening all at once either. Had the game been bad I probably would though. My point is that these artistic freedoms expanded and improved the overall experience.

    There are so many things to point out, that others have done so well so I won't even try - but I have to mention the soundtrack. It is absolutely beautiful! And the way that it is used throughout the game is great. It isn't constantly playing in the background as you explore Tsushima, so you don't become "deaf" to it. That makes it extra powerful when you're watching this thrilling, or moving cutscene, and one of the epic tracks starts playing! The main story, with the cutscenes and the music, really made me feel like I was in this epic tale (or well, in a movie!).

    To sum it up, I wanted to write 3 lines to leave a score here, clearly I couldn't help myself - and I'm currently playing this game a second time, still enjoying it. The Sucker Punch team did an amazing job!    … Expand
