    Best open world game I have played in a long time. The artistic design is fabulous. The combat is addicting. I love following the wind. Game of the year for me.

    Fantastic game. Graphics 10/10
    Gameplay 10/10
    Combat 10/10 Story 9/10 Loading times 9999/10

    I’ve never wanted to do so many side quests in a game, the game just flows like water.

    Can’t believe that this game has a lower critics rating than the last of us part two ladies and gents this is a proper masterpiece and a video game without any agenda push where you can immerse yourself to be a samurai.Graphics gameplay everything is great

    Beautiful graphics, lived in open world that doesn't force you to grind so that you can continue the story. Speaking of which, it's magnificent, very human and extremely reletable. Jin Sakai stands shoulder to shoulder with Nathan Drake, Alloy and Kratos as the greatest PS characters. Excellent job Sucker punch, what a send off for the PS4. I can't wait for your next masterpiece.

    Great way to see off the PS4 pro
    I was a little sceptical about the game and did wait for the reviews, but my god they nailed it.
    For a machine that is no modern powerhouse, I have never seen such stunning use of HDR and looks. The detail, scope, audio, even the story is good...not Oscar stuff, but still very good. Side quests are in the realm of Witcher 3, not as good, but some are    Great way to see off the PS4 pro

    Ghost of Tsushima is the most artistic game I've ever played. Graphic of this game proves that video game is really high art. Beautiful song track,lovely characters and good story makes this game unforgettable.There are some minor problems with gameplay like repetitive side quests but overall it's so good

Unfortunately for me, I don't know if I made a mistake of if there was a bug or if the game is coded this way, but when I cleared certain missions WITHOUT using assassinations or anything that would "break the samurai code" I was still called out for "not fighting like a samurai" and that completely ruined my immersion. Other than that tho, super good game.… Expand

    What Assassin's Creed should have evolved into. Simple, yet excellent combat. A good mix of both styles of gameplay. Somewhat basic story, yet a evolving protagonist and excellent thematic keeps it going well till the end.
    Visuals left me in awe, even with my ol console. One of few games where you will still be rushing into combat with excitement after 20+ hours of Gameplay.

The story is very good and you get attached to certain characters very easily. I actually shed a tear after the great escape cutscene because it felt like I had just lost my best friend. Never thought I would get attached to a horse in a game. Overall, the armor and weapon customizations are very cool, especially seeing how your armor changes its look after each upgrade. The combat is extremely fun. I wish I could give this game a 20/10 because it’s just that good.… Expand

    The game made a good representation of Samura culture and realistic people faces and outfits, along with its fun and addictive gameplay, this game is a must to play on ps4.

    The combat is deep and has a slight learning curve I found myself dying a fair bit in the early stages, but as you progress and unlock more abilities you're able to dominate your enemies. The standoff mechanic alone is really satisfying.
    Stealth gameplay is solid and the executions look and feel great, particularly the chain assassinations
    The enemy AI could be slightly better but it doesn't detract from the overall experience.
    If you like open world games you will love this. My 2 favourite open world games before this were Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn.

    I’ve always wanted a Good feudal Japan game story, I almost got that in Sekiro if it wasn’t for the magic. This was what I needed. I got goosebumps at every turn. Does it have bugs? I didn’t come across any but my friend said he got some bugs. He also said that it didn’t ruin the experience for him.

    It's standard open world fare, but unlike, say, a Ubisoft product, which piles systems on systems for the sake of systems, Tsushima uses each element to further and sustain its themes and setting. That means the familiar feels fresh again. Meanwhile, the combat is challenging; the skill trees are useful; the map rewards exploration; the side quests are substantial.

    For me this game is tied with witcher 3 for my favorite game ever, the duels the exploring and the story are incredible. Worth every penny. And for sure this is the best looking game out there, the graphics and the scenary are unmatched.

    All I can say is it’s a beautifully designed game that actually deserves its rating. Only big issues I’ve found is some capes have clipping issues and the wind doesn’t really like them in some directions. Story’s ok, but I’m getting real BOTW vibes but also puts a new spin on it. Sure, BOTW is better but I’d say that this is a definite 10 in my book. Happy gaming y’all.

    A brilliant and perfectly-executed game that has a beautiful story told in an organic fashion. The voice acting (Japanese with English subtitles) is flawless, gives it an authentic feel - plus, in my opinion, it's a beautiful sounding language. Sucker Punch really outdid themselves on this game. Can't wait to see what they have for the future.

    Cons (I only have two minor issues):
    My first one is I wish the game was more graphic. You're using swords so I was expecting more than just an forearm to come off when you slice through an enemy; I would have expected all limbs and even heads to come off.
    Second one being the controls. Having to switch stances in the middle of fights, switching from half-bow to long bow, to the items you throw with your hand, etc. is a bit of a nuisance when in the middle of a fight, it's a learning curve.    … Expand

    Definitely a huge surprise for me. I think one of the biggest things for me is how great the controls are, everything feels really refined and intuitive. I love how it doesn't aim for total realism like most open-world games do, because, at its core, Ghost of Tsushima is a phenomenal game.

This game is addictive and you will find it hard to put down your controller.

This game is addictive and you will find it hard to put down your controller. So don't be like me, take regular breaks to rest your eyes, brain, and hands or else you'll easily end up playing the whole day sleep be damned!

    GRAPHICS: The game has stunning visuals. I thought it would be hard to beat TLOU2 in the visual department, but here we are only weeks later. The environment, the grass, trees, water, all polished to please your eyes and enhance your experience traversing the island.

    SOUND: If you've played or watched samurai movies and games based on Japanese history, then Ghost of Tsushima knocks it out of the park. The wind sound as it blows through the environment, makes you feel like you are actually there. If there was a VR option for this game, that would've been awesome. The sword and bow sounds in combat, blood spurts, and other environment elements are common to what you hear in past great historical Japanese samurai themed games and movies.

    GAMEPLAY: This is where Tsushima hits a home run for the most part. You feel connected to the character. You grow and customize him as you progress through the story and complete missions (tales) as you explore the island. Learn new abilities, and stances to help in combat to make you the most badass samurai you can imagine in a movie or anime. Upgrade armor, equipment, and tools to get the job done of slashing, and piercing those evil Mongol hordes. A combination of elements from the old Tenchu games, Uncharted's style of climbing up and getting around the map, and the open world feel of games like GTA. All comes together quite nicely.

    STORYLINE: Coming off the huge disappointment of TLOU2's storyline, this game does the revenge theme correctly but with a very Japanese samurai like process. Defend your clans honor, avenge fallen comrades, choose whether to fight the honorable samurai way head on and face to face with enemies or sneak around like a ninja and assassinate your foes silently. Your character starts off kind of naive, but as the story progresses you see him mature and harden to the harsh reality of fighting a war of swords and bows against the most dishonorable fighters of the time, the Mongols. You are given a clear goal to achieve, and you are satisfied in the end to achieve it. Something that TLOU2's writers could've learned from.

    CONS OF THE GAME: My biggest complaint for the game is the lip syncing when using the Japanese dub. The lips do not match what is spoken. It could be that they synced it to the English dub but not the Japanese dub. It gets annoying if you focus on the face during cutscenes, but those who read the subtitles will probably not notice it as much. People who can understand Nihongo and play without subtitles will notice. There are also some AI glitches like enemies occasionally get stuck in pieces of the environment, but this is rare and hardly noticeable.

    SUMMARY: Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect palate cleanser to get the awful aftertaste of disappointment from playing TLOU2 which was released previous to this game. It has all the elements of TLOU but without the flawed storyline. This game's gameplay and visuals will keep you hooked playing for hours. Replay value is there for those who want to explore every inch of the island and get every item to be found. Those who saved their money and skipped TLOU2 and got this game spent their money wisely. This game is worth the money and time to play. This is the best game of 2020 so far. Looking forward to Cyberpunk 2077 to see how that does. Ghost of Tsushima has set the bar high for what a great game should be in this year.    … Expand

    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.
