    Absolutely worth playing. I m playing on hard and it gives me similar challenge like Fromsoftware games. Not walk in a park if you play in hard mode. Stunning visuals and amazing gameplay. I would want to play as 4k 60 fps on ps5

    Increíble! Llevo 8 horas de juego y puedo decir que el juego es fantastico, sinceramente no entiendo a las reseñas de algunos "expertos"; pero bueno, juegazo para cerrar con broche de oro la generación.

    I have played this game for over 90 hours almost completing everything there is to do and it never become dull and was exciting up until the very end. The scores I gave this game are indicative of how much I liked it. If you are looking for a game that is challenging and great to play, I would highly recommend this one. Definitely the top game of 2020 and yes, it is better than the Last of Us Part II (which I finished).    … Expand

Intelligenza artificiale ridicola, i nemici anche se in mischia molte volte si confondono correndo indietro a destra e sinistra senza un motivo anzichè attaccarti; anche in modalità difficile è fin troppo facile, individui un forte, vai dentro, sali su una torre dopo aver fatto fuori gli arcieri e ammazzi tutti dall'alto con le frecce, anche con lo scontro aperto la difficoltà è sempre sbilanciatissima in favore del giocatore; interni delle case TUTTI ESATTAMENTE UGUALI, nemici TUTTI ESATTAMENTE UGUALI dall'inizio alla fine del gioco: arciere, lanciere, nemico con scudo faccia, bruto.

And they are dropping a free dlc with NG+ and 2, 3 and 4 player co-op, as if I needed any more reason to play this game again.

For my review, I am going to discuss the gameplay, music, graphics, and story. First of all, the gameplay is probably some of Sucker Punch’s greatest work. The four stance mechanics of the Samurai combined with the Ghost stealth mechanics creates a game with a combat system that has depth to it without being too complex. The game is also fairly challenging due to this, as you have to use the right stances along with timing your moves carefully to defeat different types of enemies. The music is also amazing, from songs that convey sad moments, to intense combat situations the music of Ghost of Tsushima has a theme for every mood that sets the stage for some of the games most powerful moments. This music, along with some of the most beautiful graphics I have ever seen get produced from my PS4 creates a wonder narrative about the Mongol invasion of Japan. The story I can also attest is good, as it follows the story of Jin Sakai, who with his allies, fight to liberate the Mongol Army form Japan. The stories greatest strength comes from all these characters, as you learn there stories as you help them, see how they grow, and how this all affects Jin by the end of the story.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a 10/10 Masterpiece. A must buy for PS4 and a must play for all Gamers.    … Expand

    The game is great. The story is ok but it can be pretty forgettable at times. The side quests and world exploration are what will keep you coming back, and the fact that there is no UI is probably on of my favorite things about the game. The combat is fun, the stealth is fun, and it's just fun to explore.

    For the negative point. The platforming parts could get a bit annoying, as sometimes Jin would decide that he rather fall to his death, than land on the platform right in front of him, or grab it.

A história principal de Jin Sakai é sutilmente genêrica, abordado o tema de honra e tradição de um samurai indo de encontro com a necessidade de Jin em largar a tradição e lutar como um fantasma para derrotar os mongóis, já que os mesmos não lutam com honra, Jin não deve fazer o mesmo, e fará de tudo para alcançar a vitória e ajudar o povo de Tsushima a viverem suas vidas normalmente. O jogo é esteticamenre lindo, esbelto e cheio de cenários de encher os olhos, sendo quase impossível passar mais de 5 minutos sem querer abrir o modo foto e fazer uma obra de arte. O jogo peca em algumas expressões faciais pe na sincronia dos movimentos labiais com a dublagem, que no caso é a japonêsa, e obviamente é a melhor, com um elenco dddicado a entregar a melhor experiência possível, com histórias de personagens secundários sendo executada de maneira fenomenal, cada uma com início, meio e fim, com suas motivações e desejos, tudo isso se entrelaçando com a história de Jin.

    10/10 this game can be whatever the player wants. Hack and slash your way through or stealth your way through. It also has alot of artistic stuff in it (I'm not too artsy but loved the haiku's and always spent a while crafting the perfect haiku for me). This explanation doesn't do the game justice. This game is perfect.

    The game is large, fun, and addictive. The story is simple, but it does the trick. It's a bit repetitive at times, but the depth in the combat far makes up for that. There's some very interesting bugs in the game, but nothing game breaking or even annoying..something that I stopped and just laughed at. The land is beautiful. I truly feel immersed in a samurai story

    Ghost of Tsushima is a great looking game. If you have a big 4K TV then it's going to look nice. That is where my praise ends. This game is extremely mediocre. I don't understand the hype for it.

But that allGhost of Tsushima is a great looking game. If you have a big 4K TV then it's going to look nice. That is where my praise ends. This game is extremely mediocre. I don't understand the hype for it. I'm going to be honest, I was REALLY into the game for the first act. It was fun exploring, and cutting down enemies. It was like this game was the samurai game I always wanted. But that all changed once I got to the second act. The second act is such a slog that all the flaws become apparent.

    Combat is extremely boring once you start unlocking a lot of the tech tree. There should have been some kind of limit of points to promote more of a character build style of gameplay. But you know gamers, they don't like to be cut off from content. That want to be and do everything. I found myself switching the difficulty so much. I found myself setting it to easy because I just didn't want to deal with the hassle of the harder modes. Even on the harder modes this game is really easy with the help of items and the bow.

    The map in act one is a pretty decent size, but everything feels so much bigger on act 2's map. It's such a hassle to travel around. And I'm tired of exploring and looking around a map which all it presents to me is a lifeless world. It looks pretty but extremely lifeless. It doesn't promote much exploration because the most you'll find might be some items for crafting. But they can be found almost anywhere so it feels like a letdown for traveling off the beaten path.

    The side quests are the same exact thing. It'll get on your nerves. Meet character. Have some exposition dialogue as you travel to the place. Examine and look for footprints. Follow footprints to an enemy camp. Defeat about 12 guys. Finish. They all follow this kind of format. It's not interesting. It's not fun. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad if the characters actually had some personality, but nothing about the characters really make me care about them or their problems.

    The game does have some mini side quests like finding hot springs and doing haiku, but they feel like little reward for how tedious it gets to explore the game and how easy combat is.

    Overall this game is alright. I don't see how any gamer can give it more than a 7 though. It ticks all the right boxes, but doesn't add anything new that hasn't been done already.    … Expand

    After obtaining the platinum trophy tonight and nearly 100% completed the game, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima is the best game that I've played this year and an incredible way to end the PS4 generation. It has a great story with great characters and the game's theme make you think about the samurai Bushido code of honor that is romanticized a lot, and its flaws during times of war.After obtaining the platinum trophy tonight and nearly 100% completed the game, I can say that Ghost of Tsushima is the best game that I've played this year and an incredible way to end the PS4 generation. It has a great story with great characters and the game's theme make you think about the samurai Bushido code of honor that is romanticized a lot, and its flaws during times of war. Without spoiling anything, all I will say about the game’s ending is that it definitively left me thinking about the code and its impracticalities during war.
    Pros:
    • Great story with solid characters.
    • Great voice acting in both English and Japanese. Of the two I prefer the Japanese dub.
    • Great sound effect and incredible soundtrack.
    • Satisfying and fun gameplay that is challenging, but fair for the most part (I'll get into why I say for the most part later).
    • The guiding wind system, which gets rid of waypoints, helps to immerse you into this world a lot more than other open world games.
    • Particle effects. This game has some of the best particle effects that I've seen in a AAA game. From leaves falling on the ground and on water and seeing ash and snow, it's all incredible.

    With all the pros I mentioned, you would think that this game is a 10/10 masterpiece, right? Not quite, at least for me. There are several minor flaws and nitpicks that I have with this game. Little things matter, and when you have several little things in a game, it adds up.

    Cons:
    • No lock on system. I found myself not striking the enemy that I wanted to attack often. A lock on system would have mitigated that.
    • No audio or visual cues for regular enemy attacks from behind. Other games that I've played that have a similar (but not identical) style of combat like Mad Max, God of War 2018, and Marvel's Spider-Man let you know when an enemy that is behind you is about to hit you. Not in this game. I got hit from behind more times in this game than the 3 games I mentioned
    • Certain enemy attacks later in the game do way too much damage, even with charms that reduce the amount of damage taken. I recommend either more ghost-oriented tactics (which is what I did), or to use the samurai clan armor if you want to stick to playing as samurai instead of the ghost. (I played on medium difficulty btw).
    • No crafting system. Often, the loot that I get would be things that I am already full on instead of things that I need (i.e. game gives me kunai instead of smoke bombs when I’m already full on kunai and have no smoke bombs and vise versa). A crafting system that lets me use woods, cloth, and metals to craft more items would have been appreciated since these resources become pointless once you fully upgrade your sword, bows, and armor. They could have made it somewhat expensive to craft items to prevent spam.
    • Bad lip-syncing for the Japanese dub. I guess this one should have been expected since SP is a western developer, but still, they could have made the Japanese dub have proper lip syncing since the game takes place in Japan.
    • No subtitles for minor NPC dialogue in the Japanese dub. I would have to go back and play in English to understand minor NCP conversation.
    • No new game plus. A minor nitpick, but I guess SP can always release an update that adds a new game plus if enough people ask for it.
    • Some side quests can get a little repetitive and have you doing the same thing in some of them. (i.e. follow tracks on the ground).
    • Bugs and glitches. This game has them and some of them are quite hilarious. From dumb AI to enemies attacking you in hot springs, and getting stuck in small crevices, they are here but fortunately, none of them are game breaking and most can be fixed by restarting from the last checkpoint.

    All in all, Ghost of Tsushima is a solid 9/10. It’s a contender for game of the year in my eyes.    … Expand

    Asides from a few minor issues with the camera and the lip synching for the Japanese dub, this is a near perfect game. The environment is gorgeous, the story is compelling and the characters are very interesting. If I were to nitpick one thing about the animation, it is that the characters don't move very much during cutscenses, but that is a very small complaint.

    Amazing graphics, great combat mechanics, great storyline, addictive and very cinematic.

    I give it a 9 and not a 10 because I feel let down by the interaction with the world (climbing, jumping from a platform to another) and the horse (compared to RDR2).
    This game and RDR2 are the only games that got my attention.

    Честно говоря мне игра очень понравилась. Именно так должны выглядеть эксклюзивы.
    Начну с хорошего. Визуально игра прекрасно выглядит для PS4, на экране всегда что то происходит, кружатся листья, падает снег и т.д. При этом я не заметил каких либо просадок фпс! Ни разу не столкнулся с загрузками более 20 секунд.

    Лицевая анимация порадовала, лица очень живые выражающие эмоции, к тому же здесь очень мало одинаковых нпс.
    Боевая система очень самобытная, чем то напоминает таковую в AC Origins с примесью Prince of Persia и For Honor, но сильно модернизирована. Есть стойки, помогающие в борьбе с различными видами врагов, есть супер удары, есть стелс (который в отличии от того же AC Origins работает), есть луки с множеством разных стрел, бомбы, приманки и т. д.
    Но самое интересное на мой взгляд это поединки. В них надо правильно подгадать время атаки врага и тогда, в slow mo, ты сможешь разрубить на части до пяти человек! Очень красиво и эффективно!
    В игре очень грамотно воплотили путеводный указатель, так как мини карты нет, очень даже полезный. Это ветер. Очень стильно и не нарушает сам сеттинг игры.
    О сюжете. Он не плохой, даже очень хороший. Герои хорошо прописаны, есть предательство, есть дружба. К тому же в игре есть побочные, так сказать, истории пяти персонажей. Очень советую их пройти они не чуть не уступают основной сюжетной линии, к тому же награждают достаточно хорошими вещами.
    Ну и конечно атмосфера. Она здесь есть и очень густая и затягивающая.
    Теперь о не очень приятном.
    Ну во первых это так называемые боссы. Есть такие командиры, в деревнях, крепостях и т. д., но на них у разработчиков фантазия закончилась, от начала до конца игры это абсолютно одинаковые чуваки в золотых доспехах, но с разными именами. Есть также боссы, странствующие ронины. Бои с ними практически не чем не отличаются: увернулся, ударил, парировал и т. д. Но есть и реальные боссы со своим лицом.
    Спойлер.
    Это Рюдзо, Хотун-хан и Симура.
    Во вторых феменизм!
    Я раньше не знал чья студия Sucker Punch, японская или чья то ещё. В начале игры я было подумал, что японская, но когда на меня напала бабка-самурайка...;-))...я понял нет это американцы! В игре все, почти, женщины это сильные духом самурайки, а вот мужики, почти все, слюньтяи, упрямые ослы либо предатели. Но сюжетно это очень здорово обыграно, типа всех крутых мужиков на острове убили монголы. И это работает. Я переживал, что в игру всё же засунут какую нибудь лгбт историю. К счастью волнения не подтвердились.
    И так резюмирую. Это великолепная игра. Разработчики не стали опускаться на толерантное дно как в Last of Us Part II и в этом их сила. Она мне зашла так же как SW Fallen Order, т.е. очень хорошо! При том, пока это эксклюзив PS, поэтому советую всем владельцам данной платформы!    … Expand

    The combat is good, not the best, but is fun, not boring at all and challenging if you play in hard mode (which I advise you to do so).
    The exploration is really satisfiying, with the most stunning looks in this generation, and the feel of epicness, feels like some kickass samurai movie
    The story is really good, not the best but i could empathyze with jin, the drama and what motivates him to try saving Tsushima so bad. Also the side quest offer a nice story that gets you into this world.
    It has enough content for you to spend a 100 hours on this game. The main story could only take 30-40 hours.
    The photo mode has enough options for you to get a wallpaper of the game every 5 minutes so at least give that a shot once.
    Character personalization is badass

    Some people say the game gets repetitive.at some point but for me that was never an issue.
    The combat sometimes doesn't feels good when you face a group with many enemies
    The stealth is not as great, is fun but I rather to go like a samurai.
    Some enemies AI is amazing and some other is not quite as good
    Some side missions fall into the same open world mission cliche even when we have some other games like the witcher wich managed to go over that issue.
    Some FPS drops here and there but nothing that ruined my experience.
    Fan noise as loud as you would think

    Game gives you what sony promissed with every single one of their exclusives, a fun game with an awesome story which makes you feel like you're playing a movie. Feels great to be a samurai and is fun to be a ninja. And it looks like a next gen game.

To top it all off the customization adds an amount of flair that makes the playthrough feel unique to the player. The only downsides to the game are primarily house cleaning for instance I played exclusively in Kurosawa mode to enjoy the beautiful 50's Japanese film style graphics, but a mechanic related to which attacks can be blocked and which have to be dodged, was omitted from this mode and made parts of the game more difficult and confusing than need be this could be easily fixed with a simple patch.

    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.
