    Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible game that puts you in the shoes of a lone samurai who is hell-bent on revenge. You’ll explore the gorgeous and beautifully crafted island of Tsushima, duel lone Ronin and Mongol Generals, hone your combat skills, help those in need, and employ unconventional tactics against your enemies. So, let’s dig right in.

    I can’t say this enough, but the    Ghost of Tsushima is an incredible game that puts you in the shoes of a lone samurai who is hell-bent on revenge. You’ll explore the gorgeous and beautifully crafted island of Tsushima, duel lone Ronin and Mongol Generals, hone your combat skills, help those in need, and employ unconventional tactics against your enemies. So, let’s dig right in.

    I can’t say this enough, but the visuals are absolutely incredible. Watching the silhouette of your figure against the backdrop of a setting sun during a duel or traversing the world is nothing less than cinematic…it’s that good. If you want the best combat experience and the motivation to better yourself at it, then I highly suggest playing on Lethal. Being aware of the enemies around you and where they are, timing your dodges and parries, switching between stances to deal with certain enemy types, taking advantage of the terrain and using every tool at your disposal is paramount to surviving each battle. Taking even a single hit spells trouble, but you’re also just as dangerous if your execution is spot on. The ability to confront and control each fight as you see fit is invigorating: stealth, range, or toe to toe; it’s your choice. By exploring you'll stumble upon locations (hot springs, bamboo strikes, etc.) that increases health or gives you some really cool cosmetic items. Last but not least, the story is just effin’ badass: you begin as a broken and beaten samurai who is forced to go against everything he stands for to overcome the overwhelming odds, and through his actions, becomes the stuff of legends and becomes revered and feared by everyone.

    No game is without flaws, and I think my biggest one with it is the repetitiveness. The main and side stories are definitely great and enthralling, but between those stories, exploring the world can kind of feel empty. Your options are pretty limited: hunt down sites that increase your stats, engage in combat with bandits or Mongol patrols, or continue on with the story. The first time I came across a small village that had been untouched by the Mongols with people going about their business, I became excited because I might get the opportunity to talk to them and hear what they have to say. But, I quickly realized that, although you can talk to a select few of the villagers, they would only offer you vague hints of game mechanics. I was hoping that I could talk to everyone and gain some small insight on the story, lore, whatever; but instead, you come across these villages, look for resources, then move on. I was disappointed because there was so much potential to build this world the developers have created even further.

    Here’s the bottom line, Ghost of Tsushima is just an awesome game. The game does so many things right, and I know you’ll have as much as a blast with it as I have. If you’re a fan of old school samurai movies and great storytelling, then look no further than this.    … Expand

    Лучшая игра на данный момент, сочетающая в себе механики таких хитов как Секиро, Ведьмак 3 и Horizon zero dawn и с превосходной визуализацией и графикой и это всё в открытом мире. P.S. The Last of Us 2 отдыхает.

Every aspect in GoT is shouting polish. This is the game that will set the standards for all open world games right now. It's like Sucker Punch just knows what annoys the heck out of people in other open world games and just streamline them. One-button jump into photo mode, controlling weather, time of day, even particles in photo mode( believe me you will be spending a lot of time in photo mode), one of the best intro from a video game ever, each part of the island lets you experience different seasons and scenery so you will not get bored of the scenery. Combat!!!! At first you will think the combat is simple, but when they throw in the stances and you realize how many ways you could kill your enemies and be creative. The combat design is to enable the players to feel powerful and to be creative. Sucker Punch, you bunch of genius!!!! I strongly recommend everyone who loves this game to go replay infamous series if you have the chance. I replayed all the infamous just to prepare for this game and this game just blew my mind how much Sucker Punch improved since second son. Also, CHOICES are important. Let the player make their own damn choice in the story is very crucial (unlike some other title). It's like Sucker Punch knows exactly what other players suffered one month ago with another title and let people enjoy a way better game in every aspect (writing, character development, combat, graphics, etc). And now to top it off, Sucker Punch announced a FREE MULTIPLAYER UPDATE. Free DLC add on has never been seen since Valve games. And yet all the xbox fanboys try to paint an "Anti-consumer" picture for Sony? Nice try! Also Naughty Dog cuts out multiplayer from the base game for TLOU2 to be a standalone. If you ask me, $60 is more justified for a full enjoyable single player experience for Ghost of Tsushima with icing on the cake when they add the multiplayer free content. Sucker Punch is just reading the minds of their players so well. YES, they actually listened to feedback, that's why the multiplayer is based on the mythology. Please Naughty Dog, we miss the old you, the one that does not push agenda and actually make a damn good complete single player+multiplayer experience. Even Sony knows how much of a better game is Ghost and release it as the finale of this generation.… Expand

    Amazing climate of samurai-era japan. Not a single mission feels like a side quest. All of them have a clever(often dark or tragic) twist, that makes them more interesting than some main quests in other games.

    What is there to say? Beautiful graphics, fun combat, and a completely immersive open world. I've spent countless minutes just looking around, and checking things out. Upgrading by learning new swordplay techniques, rather than just the typical RPG skill trees is a nice touch as well. A must buy in my opinion.

    The gaming world was not prepared for Ghost of Tsushima from Sucker Punch. They wanted it, they dreamt of it, but they did not know what it was, or what form it would come in the shape of. It would arrive on the 17th July, 2020 and it was in the shape of Jin Sakai. For me, an eternity of let downs and disappointments now over. Furthermore, the search is over! my gaming journey is done. You could say i'm retired from searching.

    I will always be the first to admit, i am not the best gamer in the world. I am a dreamer. i take on a game and i make it my own and let it work for me. Many a time i have given up on a game, because the faults were too much to turn a blind eye to. Yet, at the age of 41, married with my first born child merely a few weeks old and a myriad of life issues, bills and problems facing me...i find myself waking in the early hours to get back to the island of Tsushima.

    Sure, there's faults. But, i have a big imagination. Let's take a discussion i read about no hit-detection on bamboo trees. It doesn't matter, because if i didn't read that, i wouldn't know. i was already walking around them. i was already making my own movie heaven. I'm Jubai Kipigami fighting the blind swordsman in the bamboo forest, i'm Kôji Yakusho preparing to take on an entire village of enemies, i'm Tatsuya Nakadai walking through the cemetery for a momentous duel.

    For that matter, the tension in the air at a duel is something else. My straw hat, jossling in the wind. My longbow sways and flutters as gusts of wind pass by. The pampas grass rasps across the hills beyond me. The world constantly moves as Samurai and Mongol remain still, waiting for the first move. Blink and you would miss it, amongst the cacophony of vision and sound. The moment is here, you are in that Kurusawa movie, take it all in as a torrent of blood swathes across the screen and spatters the ground at my feet. Would you believe i have only been playing for 2 days?

    This game is the ultimate Samurai open-world game and it has blown other open-worlds out of the water. Not only have Sucker Punch written a love letter to Japan, they have written a love letter to Playstation and it's gamers.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No spoilers here... This game is amazing so far! I'm not a huge fan of cutscenes and PlayStation storytelling(waste of money IMO). The focus is always the gameplay for me. Once you get past the boring intro movie (over an hour) the game actually starts. And man, the exploration is amazing. It actually makes you want to explore(a lot like botw). I'm a big dark souls, bloodborne, and Sekiro fan. Have beaten them all on new game plus. But this game on normal is harder to me for some reason. I kept dying to normal enemies. Had to dial it down to easy. Plobably because dodging mechanic is weird and somewhat broken in this game. I love the atmosphere, the quests, and sense of wonder. This game is way better than red dead redemption 2, that is for sure. That game just put me to sleep.… Expand

The characters are all voiced well both in English and in Japanese, and well fleshed out. I can understand complaints that they're all (with only one notable exception) very serious & dour. Personally, I can forgive that because the circumstances surrounding each character are such that being serious & dour makes sense. Pacing is excellent - the game never leaves you with a feeling of aimlessness or without something to do. The combat & exploration are where the game really shines, though.

    Combat is a nice balance between defending & attacking while still being friendly enough that the game remains accessible to players of all skill-levels. There's a certain chaotic element as well that would likely make a dedicated lock-on button a boon, but I think is better for the lack of it, oddly. More impressively is that combat is equally enjoyable & rewarding between open & stealth (& the standoff mechanic is crazy-fun).

    The world is populated enough with random points of interest & side-quests that going off the beaten path is almost always a worthwhile endeavor. Even when it doesn't bear any fruit, the game is visually stunning enough that I struggle to consider such rare instances to truly be a waste. The seamless & unique integration of the UI adds some panache to an otherwise tired formula. There's no need for a map or opening/closing menus to figure out where nearby points of interest or quest objectives are; you quite literally follow the wind... or a bird, or fox, or the torii gates.

    For as amazing as the game is, it does have a few faults; however minor. There are some minor glitches with enemies dropping underground or through walls when they die and the like; but nothing that impacts play. The seamless integration, as nice as it is, makes it easy to want to 100% it on the first run (a very good thing) but without a new game+ or other features exclusive to the 2nd+ playthrough, it does hurt replay value. As already stated, the story (especially the ending) is rather predictable - while it's executed well enough that this is a minor complaint at worst, something to shake things up at the end would've been welcome. Nonetheless, after nearly 32 years of being a fairly serious gamer, Ghost of Tsushima has managed to make it into my top 10 of all time.    … Expand

    Está bien, pero tampoco para tirar cohetes. Tiene mucho mejorable de cara a una hipotética secuela. Lo peor sin duda la parte de la historia, que es más plana que una tabla de planchar, y el sigilo, extremadamente básico para un juego de estas características.

You play as a samurai and help liberating the Tsushima island from the invaders. I really enjoyed the game a lot. It was a really nice surprise for me. I did finish quite a lot of open world games and I expected GoT to be similar to other open world experiences but with a different flavor since it is located in Japan. However I was really impressed with both the cinematic graphics approach for the game, the fresh combat system and the story. The graphics are most of the time amazing. The game sacrifices some modern gaming elements in order to enhance other elements such as draw distance and the usage of particles. It is hands down the game that uses particles best. I was also really impressed with the usage of wind instead of map markers and GPS systems. The HUD is clean and this makes the whole experience really immersive. However the graphics are not perfect, some areas are poorly done compared to other games from this generation (water effects are mediocre, characters don't have lots of animations during cut scenes instead you most of the time get a time lapse where you skip certain actions such as using a boat for instance). None of these were affecting the game in any way. I think the overall decision to sacrifice certain element in favor of others works great for the overall experience. When it comes to the story I didn't really expect to be invested in it and I thought it will be a dull story but I was so wrong. The main story is great and as I progressed through the story I felt more invested with every step. Not only the main story is good but you also have a few allies who have optional side missions. Those were also great both in terms of variety and narrative. Yes, there are some missions that are repetitive, for instance at some point you have to liberate a few villages and the overall mission structure is the same but it didn't feel as a choir. Another great thing was the way the game presents collectibles. First of all it doesn't force you to collect 400 meaningless objects for a stupid trophy. Instead you find all kind of interesting areas in the game that reward you with a cosmetic item or some kind of upgrade. Sometimes you have to complete a mini game and it doesn't feel useless or repetitive. The sound is very well done and the music is spot on but it isn't something groundbreaking but matches the game mood very well. When it comes to the gameplay you have two options: to play as a samurai or to play more as a shinobi (ghost). Both are satisfying but the AI is somewhat dumb and makes the samurai approach more satisfying in my opinion. What I enjoyed is that you don't have levels but you have a skill tree. You can choose how to unlock it based on your play style. You also have a couple of side missions called "mythical tales" that teach you special moves and are also very well done both in terms of story and gameplay. When you fight you can choose between 4 stances and each one is has different moves and is good against a type of opponent. By the time I reached the end of the game I was kinda sad that it ended, that's how good it is. Also at the end you can choose between 2 different endings both of which are meaningful in their own way. I was really impressed of this game and didn't expect it to be this good. For me it is a 9/10, I would really recommend it to everyone.… Expand

    Completed Game: 7/26/2020

    Spoiler-Free Review

    Intro
    From the developer behind Sly Cooper and Infamous franchise comes an unusual departure from the status quo that Sucker Punch Studios is normally accustomed to. A historic fiction game about samurai overcoming the Mongol empire. Samurai games are nothing new to the world of video games but ever since its announcement, I hoped that Sucker Punch could put enough of their own spin on the genre to make something truly special. To my surprise, Sucker Punch has succeeded in most areas that would make this game a hit.

    Story – 3/3
    Jin Sakai, the main protagonist, is tasked to take out a new threat as the Mongols grow ever more brutal. Most of Jin’s closest allies are taken out within minutes, leaving him as one of the last of his kind. Conflicted on whether he should defeat this new threat with honorable samurai tactics or using more questionable methods. It’s an entertaining story about the inner conflict within Jin Sakai and the sacrifices that he might have to make to save his people. Normally most stories within a Feudal Japan era never keep my interested but I was on the edge of my seat for all of the 20-hour adventure. If you’re in it for the story, this is a must-play adventure.

    Gameplay – 3/4
    This is your standard hack and slash affair or so it seems when you first start out. The game consists of having buttons for light and heavy attacks along with blocking/parry moves. The real fun is when learning on how to weave different stances together to make Jin truly unstoppable. Each stance can be switched on the fly and each one is super effective on one particular enemy. Even on hard difficulties, this game feels balanced as it will only kick your ass if you have no clue on how to use the systems put in place. Open world exploration is the best I have seen in any game due to the natural ways you can discover things within the world. Winds blowing in the direction of your objective, foxes and birds guiding you to secrets within the world. You get a sense of how beautiful this world can be and shows you some more peaceful moments before the chaos happens. The only thing I had an issue with was the smaller side missions. There are 3 types of missions, story missions, characters side missions, and regular side missions. The character side missions are a lot of fun as they expand on characters within the main story and give them more to do but regular side missions were bland. The game's full run time of 60 to 70 hours was stretch a bit thin if you’re going to 100% completion. Ghost of Tsushima is still fun in the gameplay department, just expect for it to get a bit bland near the ended mark.

    Technical – 2/3
    The graphics are pretty good. On the level of 2017’s Horizon: Zero Dawn when comparing it to another open-world game. Glitches happen every now again like attacks phasing through enemies or QTE showdowns getting stuck by enemies walking away instead of staying in place. Music is really good but nothing I would seek out after playing the game. Its pretty polish and on the level you would expect from a Sony first-party title.

    Verdict
    Ghost of Tsushima is an amazing samurai game that gets so close to masterpiece status. An engaging story, interesting gameplay mechanics, and amazing open-world design greatly overpower small problems like lackluster side missions and small technical hiccups. This is a must-buy if you own a PS4 as this game will go down as the perfect send-off for AAA games on the PS4.    … Expand

    Great game. I would give it a 8.5 but thats not possible so a 9 would be oke. Let me specify everything:

    *Mainstory = 10 Lets start with the main story. It is very unique and very nice to follow. There will be some unique things and it wants you to know more about people and story. It is a very good game if you stick with the main story *Sidequest = 9 Overal i liked almost all    Great game. I would give it a 8.5 but thats not possible so a 9 would be oke.

    *Mainstory = 10
    Lets start with the main story. It is very unique and very nice to follow. There will be some unique things and it wants you to know more about people and story. It is a very good game if you stick with the main story

    *Sidequest = 9
    Overal i liked almost all sidequest. Most of them are unique with a story and there is always something to do. Some are ofcourse a bit repetitive, but doenst hurt the game. You need to do them all if you want to go Platinum. Atleast there are many diffrent quests!

    Side note: when you completed a quest you would always have to wait for a little cinematic that you cant skip. It takes around 6 seconds, but i reallly disliked this. Example: the main character would lay against his horse, wake up, will stand and you see something in screen... and then you can play again.

    *Gameplay = 10
    This is were to fun is! The gameplay is very good, but you need to unlock most things. When you start the game you dont have many stances, weapons and moves. When you progress into the game you will unlock more and more.

    *Gear = 9
    You can play like you want. You can play like an assassin or as a warrior. The body-armor is were all the unique skills are. It doesnt mather what face-armor you pick. For RPG-elements: you can pick a hat, face-armor, body-armor and a unique sword. There are not many body-armors, but there are alot of hats and swords in the game.

    *Sound = 8
    I kinda miss some nice background sound. Overal it's oke and everything is in place, but for me it was to quiet to often, especially during riding my horse.

    *Open World = 9
    You can walk freely at your own pace. You can skip the main story to explore and there are alot of question marks to discover. This part can be repetitive, but it didnt bother me.

    *Lenght = no rate
    The game has 3 acts with 3 diffrent area's. I played around 50 hours for platinum and the main story is around 20-25 hours. This depends on your playstyle.    … Expand

Truly a masterpiece that builds upon its predecessors and listens to the recommendation from fans. FFXV was massive and epic but got bogged down in a bunch of disconnected "run and fetch" quests that made the player lose their connection to the story. GoT weaves the all the quests, main and side, together masterfully. I look forward to going on them, not trudging through them, completing them for completions sake like in FFXV.

    Horizon Zero Dawn was a lot of fun but for some reason just didn't hook me and in HZD and FFXV I found myself looking at the minimap and moving a triangle through a maze COMPLETELY ignoring and missing incredibly impressive and detailed landscapes. GoT did away with maps and cleverly added a "follow the wind" mechanism that is actually part of the story. Now I travel the island, completely aware of my surroundings, often with my mouth agape.

    Another "lessons learned" GoT uses is not getting stuck in the trees. There are so many open world games, especially when using a horse or vehicle, where you get stuck in the trees and it is annoying AF to navigate. So much so, you don't even use the conveyance anymore. GoT does away with this. The landscape is still dotted with an assortment of vegetation but you walk or ride right through them. It REALLY improves gameplay and makes exploring fun instead of tiresome, frustrating and tedious.

    The previous examples may seem fairly specific but that is because the obvious stuff, gameplay, graphics, story, and soundtrack are all simply amazing. I was reluctant to belabor the obvious and probably wouldn't even have bothered to write this had it not been for little details SuckerPunch included that I really appreciated. I wanted to make sure there's at least a chance someone from SuckerPunch noticed that there are players that appreciate their efforts, even the subtle ones.

    Just an unequivocal must purchase for any gamer.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First off, The story isn't particularly interesting. It's more of a means to an ends, which honestly didn't bother me whatsoever. There has to be a bunch of enemies for the samurai to fight, so why not have the mongols invade? Makes sense and delivers the action on a regular basis.

    Some people may say the game is a bit derivative of assassin's creed or even something like red dead redemption, but don't let that scare you away. There are many minor details this game has included that make it stand out. First of all the combat is quite different than most games I have played as it requires you to change your technique depending on the type of enemy you are fighting. It also feels very real. I believe I am swinging a sword when I'm fighting enemies. You get that sense of connection with it which is great.

    In addition there's cool side quests that are very unique and quests aren't necessarily just go fetch this or talk to this person. They are mini stories that have a beginning middle and end. Each quest feels more like a storyline rather than a chore.

    Ultimately, the best thing about the game is how gorgeous it is. The landscapes are incredible and there is a fantastic screenshot system which allows you to edit images with lots of options. You'll never get bored of riding your horse through the pampas plants, and there's enough discoverable locations to keep you busy for a long time.    … Expand

The leveling up mechanic in this game is fantastic and makes you feel like you grown from a weakling samurai to a force to be reckoned with. The flexibility in choice of abilities allows for endless opportunities to grow and best of all defeating and observing your enemies helps you counter other enemies you are likely to face.

    The game is beautiful and made me feel like i was in japan in at 1274 during the mongol invasion. The collectibles also are very useful from new hats to new masks and other items to have fun with on your journey. The story for a simple as it seems is amazing combined with the side quests makes the story a who lot more enriched and somber. The story was told beautifully.

    There were some glitches i ran into on my playthrough like when i air assassinated someone through an object it caused my assassinations to be glitched and would cause detection issue or how the final tale of norio quest causes the fox dens to glitch and foxes would not show up. beating the quest and resetting the game fixed the issues and definitely did not take away from my enjoyment especially since they did not happen frequently or were very minor with easy fixes.

    I liked the wind system but i wish they showed you the exact location instead of approximate because when hunting for collectables it became a big pain because the wind was not always very fun to follow or would not show up at all on my map until i moved a while. I think the wind works for things with a little less amounts to them the banners and other large quantity items were very annoying. I think an exact location would have worked way better on things like the banners or scrolls and artifacts.

    overall i think this game is amazing and definitely is a 9 out of ten. from how cinematic it is to its fluid clean gameplay its easily my favorite game so far this year    … Expand

    Open world: the world in GoT is beautiful, some parts are breathtaking. The only negative is that there aren't much recognizable parts like in other open world games. It does create some spectacular settings though, especially for special combat scenes that are very cinematic.

Well this is the same, free outpost climb this kill this this guys etc , this is nothing new and there very little freedom in regards to missions structure you either go in guns blazing or you sneaky beaky like , this could be fun if not for the dumb AI and the very limited abilities you have to do so. Even the hook seems totally pointless and underused it's only used for climbing when it had potential to be used has a weapon scorpion any one ?
    And last for not least why is the game dubbed in Japanese it should be its original language its just weird when u see Japanese people not speaking Japanese.
    Now that the bad things are out of the way let's talk about the good things, I don't cry easily in games but this one made do it 3 times its not a happy story but it sure is a good one.
    The combat in the game is phenomenal i just wish it had a bit more of limb cutting cause some of the blows the main character does seems like it would cut a man in half but all u see on the enemy is some blood stains and every so often u see him chopping heads and arms i just wish these happens more frequently because they were really satisfying.
    The sound OMFG THE SOUND, from the wind blowing and dragging the leafs scraping them floor to the sound your Katana does wen putting it back in the sheath it really sounds phenomenal and the music feats the game aesthetic and the aesthetic of this game is beautiful.    … Expand

    Amazing game ! Adventure as in Assasin Creed + Action as in Sekiro = Ghost of Tsushima

    I play at a high level of difficulty, the emotions from fights are closer to Sekiro, which you do not experience in Assasin Creed

I really hope other open world games steal the way, this game shows you where to go. via wind. its so immersive to just follow the wind. I have never really thought about this before but map markers constantly remind you that your in a game. The combat is simple enough anyone can enjoy it but if you master it. You truly are untouchable. one thing i thought to my self while playing assassins creed was why do they keep sending mercenaries. I've killed like a million of them surely they would just refuse come if they know they're gonna die. In ghosts of tsushima as your legend grows people will just run away from you and I love that. its something that should be in all rpgs

    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.
