The open world genre is nothing new but Ghost of Tsushima brings new elements and experiences that will hopefully change and set the bar for new games. Expand

    I played this game with Japanese dub and English sub.
    And just wow. The acting, characters, side quests, exploration, cinematic, story, gameplay. It is all beautifully executed and the game deserve all the praise it gets.

    Alright, first of all, let me start off by saying that the game is a Playstation exclusive so it automatically removes the option to give the game a score under 9 since that would make you either a hater or an Xbox fanboy. Now since we got that outta the way let's start the review.

    You play as this guy named Jin, you can see that the game is awesome when your character is named Jin. Your main weapon is a sword and you can ride horses, I mean which game ever did that huh? For the first few hours of the game, it really feels like that game was made by the creators of "Bubsy 3D" but as you progress through the story you can clearly see that the game holds a spot right next to games like "Knack" and "Super Mario Bros 2". The AI System is God tier in this game, with this new technology the enemies can even smell you. So if you're a weeb and you haven't take a shower in 3 weeks the game punishes you by saying " No, the Japanese can smell too you dumba**". So anyway, Behnam told me to give the game a 10/10 and that's what I'm gonna do. Masterpiece.

    -The world is beautiful and engaging, with different and varied biomes and lots of interesting places to discover. Everything you do is rewarding, as you progress through the large skill trees or unlock cool customizing items.
    -The combat starts basic but quickly progresses and adds many new things, never becoming boring. There are plenty of skills, abilities and stances. However, the stealth too easy due to IA being a bit dumb.
    -There's great variety of missions, and even though most of them have the same structure (go to a place > follow trail or npc > kill enemies), the story that's behind them is well written and makes the time spent worthwhile. Both the main and the side characters are great and charismatic.
    -The soundtrack is GOD.
    Overall, extremely beautiful game with a perfect balance of all of its elements. It only suffers a bit from the market sturation of open worlds (same elements seen in those are present here), but the execution here is flawless and it's only beaten by RDR2 in this field. A must have for PS4 owners.

I could see why he was the way he was, and I hated him. That is good writing. I didn't bother with the Black and White mode because the game is just to good looking to do that The end really hit home for me. I was genuinely sad after the final battle. It hit an emotional chord. I also personally really liked the no lock on system. I didn't think the game was clunky at all. There were some bugs like random npcs falling from the skies but it didn't hurt the experience.

    I am giving this a 9 on here only because I can't do fraction ratings. Personally I would give this an 8.5. It's not the greatest game of all time, but it's very good. That said it is much closer to a 9 for me than an 8 so by default it gets a 9,

    Everything from the voice acting to the graphics make this a pure classic. I quit playing Last of Us 2 to play this. This is how you make a game and story. I will keep this spoiler free, but I knew nothing about this game going in and was extremely surprised at how open world it is. Think Assassins Creed meets Dark Souls.

    - Interesting Characters.
    - Side missions are good and dont feel like filler.
    - Graphics and Art Work/Degisn is GOD TIER. seriously this is even a small level above RED DEAD 2.
    - the Leveling System is fairly deep and does its job nicely.

    mixed
    - Technically (ps4 slim) its a hit and miss. but mostly hit, PS4Pro is flawless from what i read.

    closing thoughts

    these "professional" reviewers once again prove how irrelevant they are. games losing points for not reinventing the wheel, while others dont. this is one of the best games of the Generation but you wouldnt know that by looking at the "professional" scores ( which are solid but are doing a great disservice to the game ), now i thought Second Son was mediocre to pretty good at best but Sucker Punch really stepped up BIG TIME, they are on the level of Santa Monica to me now. looking forward to your next game, ill be there day 1.

Nevertheless, the game creates an entire open world, dedicated to full gameplay immersion in its several elements, which amuse the player by taking Jin in profound and deep sentimental stories about lost, honor, vengeance and kindness.
    All of this, being told by either Jin's perspective or as his allies perspectives, or even enemies, which in the end sometimes make you understand and comprehend the caracthers and their actions.
    Needless to say, it is a game in which you discover a lot about a different culture and gets an insight over human beings and their feelings.

I loved the story (which is losely based on history events), the cinematic presentation is impressive, the combat system innovative, cinematic and just so absolutely bad-ass cool - and everything about this world just beautiful! Not to mention that this game has near zero loading times - on PS4. Feels like a PS5 game almost.

    This game is a triumph of game design and dramatic story telling, and feels as much as an Akira Kurosawa movie where you take center stage as is humanly possible. Absolute must buy for every PS4 player who loves narrative-driven games!

In tutte le scene dove bisogna fare qualche mossa o consegnare un oggetto l'immagine viene tagliata per non mostrare l'oggetto o c'è addirittura una transizione con schermo nero con sotto il suono per far capire che si sta facendo quella azione.

It's an open world game without the boring, repetitive side quests, where exploration through the numerous and varied locations feels like a delight, not a chore. It's also a love letter to Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa.

    The combat quickly gets repetitive compared to the masterpiece that is Sekiro. The open world is nowhere near Red Dead Redemption 2 levels. I take offense seeing the game have 9.1 in grade.

    -Ambientación
    -Como evoluciona la historia
    -El diseño artístico de armas y armaduras
    -Los combates Vs Bosses, son muy buenos y te reconcilian con el juego
    -El minijego del bambú para conseguir concentración

    Puntos negativos:

    -El combate, en el 95% de los combates vas a pelear contra 6,7 o 10 enemios simultaneamente y no poder marcas enemigos en un combate donde el parry es tan importante, me parece un punto negativo grave
    -La cámara, teniendo que ir constantemente moviendola con el analog, si no pierdes de la visual al enemigo
    -El doblaje, lo he jugado en Japones con subtitulos y es terrible, en español, es peor.
    -Misiones repetidas hasta la saciedad
    -La manera de navegas entre las diferentes habilidades e items no es nada intuitivo ni rápido.

    Juego divertido en muchos aspectos, pero donde se le ve las aristas en casi todos los campos.

It is a very rare event in the life cycle of a console that a game as special as this comes along that impresses and moves the industry benchmarks forward. Generally open world games are rather fatiguing and dull but I cannot really find anything to **** about with this title except for some minor graphical nit picks about the camera and some animation issues etc. These little things do not detract from the overall experience in the least.

    I am a huge fan of Japanese art, culture and cinema and this wonderful game is a love letter to those things. You can just see that Sucker Punch have done these things justice and love these as well. I am a massive Kurosawa fan and playing this in the black and white Kurosawa mode is just like playing a movie and is a fun little distraction.

    Well done Sucker Punch I am so addicted to this gem of a game and have not been this impressed since God of War but in my opinion GOT is better and more enjoyable than that title and yes even Red Dead 2 as well.

    Incredible and highly recommended for all true gamers.

    Fantastic game and a fantastic closure to a game console generation. Ghost of Tsushima is not without flaws but stands as a reminder that not every new game has to be ****

    It, mechanically, follows the already proven pattern of some earlier awesome games. Open world, pick up trees and flowers, upgrade gear, get better tools that give access to new areas and stuff, do main or secondary quests.

    My first impression when booting up was that I where surprised by it´s low quality textures, quite hideous at times. But in my opinion, textures does not have anything to do with how good a game is. Even though some bad textures, the overall environmental fidelity of the graphics are masterpieces. Characters are okay, not a new Bloody Baron or Vaas but they do their part. The main story is quite good, with one or two good twists. Secondary questlines are also okay.
    The game is also constructed with immersion in mind, the hud only ever shows exactly when needed to, minimaps or markers are not here. Instead you are guided by ingame phenomenons like the wind or animals. Love the focus on immersion.

    Combat is where the game really shines. I usually don´t think to much about it, I often even find combat a bit boring. But GoS really nails the combat. It is so well balanced and skillfully constructed, it puts a lot of significance on the skill and concentration on the player. A really focused player can defeat several enemies of high lethality, but let your thoughts wander away for half a second and you are gutted.

    If you love Horizon, Red Dead or Samurais in general you´r gonna love Ghost Of Tsushima!

    My expectations weren't as high as they have been for other games but I was very pleasantly surprised by how good Ghost of Tsushima is.

    The combat is excellent. The variety of enemies you can fight with different combat styles added a lot to keep things fresh over the course of the 35-40 hours I had in the game. The stealth adds some different options to go about the combat as well

    The combat is excellent. The variety of enemies you can fight with different combat styles added a lot to keep things fresh over the course of the 35-40 hours I had in the game. The stealth adds some different options to go about the combat as well and is only "forced" a handful of times.

    The story isn't the best I've played but is very solid. A good job is done in getting you to understand the tough choices that Jin has to make over the course of the campaign and I think by the end most people would side with him. The voice acting is not up to the level of Naughty Dog but still good.

    The side quests could have used a little variety in my opinion. There could have been some quests that you needed to find "X" flowers or gather "X" supplies/metals/etc. instead of the mostly combat focused quests. The only other thing that I would like to see improved is a way to dismantle charms. I had so many unused charms at the end of the game including some duplicates that they just wasted away in my inventory.

    For a first stab at getting into the open world RPG game, Sucker Punch did an incredible job. i hope to see a sequel or another similar game from them in the future.

    Ghost of Tsushima is what they call "Assassins' Creed Japan" we craved from Ubisoft but never got 'cause Ubisoft is since long killed the AC franchise after altering it's slealth gameplay.
    You might call it the RDR2 of Japan, and you would be half right.
    Welp, for me it's just another Playstation open world game like GoW4 and Horizon BS Dawn. Lets start reviewing, shall we? So...

    You might call it the RDR2 of Japan, and you would be half right.
    Welp, for me it's just another Playstation open world game like GoW4 and Horizon BS Dawn.
    Lets start reviewing, shall we?

    So... let's get one thing straight, the story is as good as you want to think.
    It's basically the "Oh, following the Bushido Code is no good when your enemy give 0 f*cks about it" so you basically become a Nin- sorry "GhOst"..
    Funny thing is, the game actually lets you freely to choose you style of Combat.

    - "Samurai Mode" which is combat which has potential but its buggy 'cause they had to put the money into the "open world" BS
    - "The Ghost" which is you basic Farcry 3 skills, only this time the enemies are dump in some cases (sometimes they see a comrade's corpse and don't react :/ )
    - And technically Archery, which is way to good in this game since you get easy headshots with the slow-mo

    Anyway, even if you choose to NOT abandoned the Bushido code, the game will regard you as the GhOst 'cause why bothet making branches.
    Why bother? well that's easy, much like GoW4, GoT also thinks that havin' mediocre feature from every genre will make the game better.

    And let's not forget the amounts of ToDos in this game to keep you busy and make you like you money's well spent in this game, yay, I really wanted to play 40+ hours chasing foxes, birds and goddamn outposts.

    Some of you might say "but what about the side quests with the mini stories? with the characters you meet along the way?" to which I say...
    What about them? Do you remember every single time you had to walk around and talked with them? and strolled with them?
    Was it worth it to see your character standing still, talking to the side character? Don't you want to see a cutscene that shows way more character personality? And I ain't even a story guy in video games, because you know... I want to PLAY, not read a "script".
    By "script" I mean Cory Barlog's vision of a "video game" leaving the game out

    Before I go over to my main critic, I got thing to say to this game. Did you really have to "uglify" the Japanese women?
    Especially the Mikos, which look like native Americans. Where's my Kikyo dammit XD? That's pretty Woke move you did there....
    But seriously, but why did you make the Mikos look so ugly? Googling Japanese Mikos finds me YOUNG (not old sucker punch) women usually look good and cute.
    But no, let's appeal to the Woke BS, and put in Old hags, stuck up **** (yea, **** Yuna, her character is not in the slightest acting Japanese) or just plain ugly.
    Hugh... *sign* I finally released my anger on that part.

    But you know, with all the hate I bring to this review, I actually some pros for GoT.
    - The sword stances are very Unique for me.
    - The movement is good
    - And the game does have a charm, much like AC1.

    The main problem I have with GoT is the fact that it had to be another dull open world game that doesn't even try to make it interesting.
    The exploration is still boring. Yes I though that the "guiding wind" would solve the issue as well, but as it turns out, it's still forces you to open the map menu, select the point you want to go, and go. It's just that now you can actually look at the fields' and forests and not stare at a mini map.
    But that still defeats the whole purposes of exploration and navigation which are suppose to be the building of making a fun open world.
    And even then, riding with you horse from A to B is still dull.

    So you know what, maybe it's time Playstation "exclusives" will stop the open world crap and focus mainly on their gameplay.
    Because here's the potential I see in GoT, which is the combat stealth.
    If SP developed linear levels that let them to design interesting combat areas, they would have surely improved the gameplay.
    Instead of polluting an open world with boring ToDo list I have seen in other million open world trash games... you know..

    So here's my ending statement. Wake me up, when clunky combat in video games is ancient history.
    Or, Wake me up, when open world games actually have no compress to guide you and the exploration is apart of the main gameplay.

    - NO LEVELGATING NONSENSE!! (THANK YOU SUCKER PUNCH!!!!)
    - Has 4 enemy types with SEVERAL enemy subtypes that have their own move-sets.
    - Does not fill your map with meaningless side activities that make the game feel tedious.
    - Does not FORCE you to go through the side activities.
    - Amazing sounds/music/OST/Score.
    - Encourages you to explore.
    - Quests are rewarding.

    The not so good stuff:
    - Combat does not have the lock-on feature which can lead to weird situations when fighting the enemy.
    - A few questionable looking cutscenes here and there.

    Ghost Of Tsushima combines all of the best aspects of what a third-person open-world action game SHOULD BE, and molds it into a spectacular game. If not for the 2 gripes I had with this game, I would've given this game a 10/10.

    Sucker Punch, you have outdone yourself with possibly the best ending to the Playstation 4/4Pro generation!! Hold your head up high and be proud of your work.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is the first time I have come into contact with the work of suckerpunch. This work was created by a Western company based on the motive of another country, but it is surprisingly well understood and well described. Due to the characteristics of the subject matter of this work, it inevitably contains beautification of samurai, but I personally don't think it's a big problem because it also clearly describes the part of alternative history, or rather degrades it. As for the action, it's perfectly designed. I think it is a very good judgment that Parry created a special attack by enemies that cannot be prevented in several stages so that it is not a universal measure. It's a big disappointment that there's no additional content or newgame+, but it's a great masterpiece that ended the twilight of PS4. Expand

I am also a fan of the villains, because they have real motivations and aren't just bad guys for the sake of being bad guys. I don't want to spoil too much of the story in my review, but just know that it gets better and better as the game progresses. In the end, the world overall just feels alive, and there is so much to do that gameplay never gets old for me. I could go on about how much I enjoy this game, and I believe that this game is the perfect samurai style game, even better than Sekiro! What a way to wrap up the PS4! Expand

    I like the game looks good only when you cut someone with a sword there isnt a mark of the cut or torn cloth its just blood?? not so much detail on a game where cutting is the most you do.

    В игре много багов и недоработок, но в общем это очень хорошая и интересная в плане геймплея игра. Разработчики взяли очень хороший сетинг для игры, в котором много пасхалок отсылающих на японскую мифологию и другие художественные произведения, конечно хотелось что бы подобного контента было больше, но этого тоже достаточно.

Система сражений на первый взгляд кажется очень простой, но когда начинаешь встречать врагов просто путешествуя по миру, то они могут неплохо подпортить настроение, боевая система проработано хорошо, удары чувствуются, она выглядит зрелищно и она тяжелая для освоения новичку в мире игр, и это хорошо, на высоком уровне сложности в игре тебе никогда не бывает скучно. Графика в игре очень красивая и живописная, это не технологический прорыв, но тоже очень хороший уровень. Теперь к плохому, почему в игре такого размаха не проработаны мелкие детали ? Почему я не могу оставить свой след и срубить маленькое дереве мечом ? Это такие мелкие детали которые уже должны быть в играх. Это все придирки которые я могу из себя выдавить, кроме того что в игре нет красивых женщин из-за невидимой руки сами знаете кого. У них получилась очень хорошая игра которая скрасит один месяц лета, я искренне надеюсь что они пофиксят проблемы патчами Expand

    This game is more like a fine art than a videogame,and this is also a final big game for PS4.

    This is one of the most fun games I ever played. The open world is stunning and exploring it is fun. The story is good, but nothing special, which is fine. The combat is great, the stealth however is nothing special and sometimes you can miss a kill because the game decides to just bug out on you.

If you plan to get this game I would make sure that you enjoy the games that really push you to explore.
    If you just blow throught this game you might see it as just another by the book Ubisoft style open world game, if you decide to explore however, you will see that this game is much more than that. Ironically enought, this game feels more like Assassin's Creed than the latest Assassin's Creed game.
    You might not enjoy this game if you don't like exploring the world. There are also some repetitivness issues. A large portion of the quests are just clearing out forts or tracking enemies to a camp. I have finished every sidequest in the game and while there are outliers, most of them follow the same structure. Then there are also the Fox Dens which are fun the first few times, but after a while they just get more iratating that anything. This game also has pointless collectibles which I am not a fan of.
    However, even through these issues the game is still amazing and a joy to play. This is an example of what happens when a developer tries to make a game that is fun above all else.

    Game that almost Perfect...
    The only Minus about this game is the Camera Control + Strike button...
    If they change/remap the Strike button into R1/L1 it will be enjoyable and don't have problem with the camera movement... Other than that ?? Story = 10/10 Graphics = Fantastic/10 Animation = 9/10 Music = Beauty/10 Sound and Voice Acting = ASMR/10 This game is PURE MASTERPIECE...

    Visually stunning and immersive. Full of vibrant colours.
    Combat is smooth. Object detection is spot on especially in combat.
    No lock on is a challenge but fun. Stand-off mechanic is a welcome addition. Absence of mini-maps and the minimal appearance of the HUD is good, for taking in the breath taking vistas of Tsushima. Kurosawa mode should be played after your first play through.

    Difficulty is well balance, should be played on medium.

    Only issues is the sliding door animation, it is too fast and camera angle is too closed up.

    - The Camera is still the worst nemesis of the protagonist (this cannot be overstated), but once you gain some skill points, combat becomes almost trivial.
    - The graphics and world design are out of this world good.
    - I really enjoyed the wind element as part of your "hud".
    - Excellent writing.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the best game I have played in 2020. The combat is downright amazing and once you begin to master it you feel like a Samurai killing machine.

The foliage and trees sway around you and the lighting effects are second to none. Sunsets are a joy to behold and I don't think I have ever used photo mode as much as I did in this game. The story can be a bit cliche at times but I am a huge fan of Samurai lore. I experienced very few glitches while playing and load times are some of the fastest for any game I have ever played. I could go on for hours about how much fun I had with this game but I will just finish by saying after the rough year we have all had Ghost of Tsushima was the breath of fresh air I needed. Expand

    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.
