Missions feel less like redundant chores and more so like episodes in a series. As someone who enjoys Japanese samurai films and reading about this time period in history, this game is captivating and genuinely immersive. There's a definite cinematic aspect to actual combat that's truly unique. Cutting down an enemy, while having the camera slide to view your next opponent, with grass blowing in the wind and lighting to reflect perspective makes this game a work of art.

    Definitely holds it's own, even stands out, with heavyweights of open worlds. Nice to not feel punished for avoiding stealth take downs, and I can't get enough of the standoffs. Will probably never get a genuine Musashi Miyamoto game but I'll take this.

    Would be a 10, unless I've yet to unlock it, but a realistic or increased difficulty for "hard" would have been ideal. Only regret you'll have is not buying it sooner.    … Expand

    I've spent about 20 hours with the game so far, taking my time to do side quests. Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game is absolutely gorgeous. There are times when I simply have to set the controller down and admire the stunning landscapes, be it a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful field of flowers blowing in the breeze or a crimson forest with leaves scattering all around you.

    The    I've spent about 20 hours with the game so far, taking my time to do side quests. Let's get the obvious out of the way: The game is absolutely gorgeous. There are times when I simply have to set the controller down and admire the stunning landscapes, be it a gorgeous sunset, a beautiful field of flowers blowing in the breeze or a crimson forest with leaves scattering all around you.

    The animations are all, for the most part, excellent and the controls are tight and responsive. There are times once the game 'clicks' where you'll perform what seems like a well choreographed scenes straight out of your favorite samurai flicks. The stealth also feels tight and responsive, and enemies once alerted to your presence work in pairs to try and keep you from sneaking up on more of them, and will sound horns to alert nearby mongols to your presence.

    The camera, however, seems to work against you sometimes. On more than one occasion, enemies will attack you from off-screen simply because the camera does a poor job of facing enemies. A lock-on or ability to quickly refocus the camera may have alleviated this somewhat, though the issue does not come up enough to be a serious downside. It functions most of the time, but it's notable when it doesn't.

    The voice acting has been wonderful, so far and the characters have all been likable, even if somewhat dower (though considering the circumstances of the game, this is well understood.) The story is something I will not comment on as of yet, as I've yet to complete it. My impressions so far, after 20 hours, is that it has been enjoyable if somewhat predictable at times; though once you've consumed enough media, anything becomes predictable.

    Overall, this is one of my favorite games of the generation, and I sincerely look forward to Sucker Punch's next title if they give it the same loving attention as they clearly gave Ghost of Tsushima.    … Expand

For me, this ranks up there with the recent greats such as The Witcher 3, Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2, Kingdom Come Deliverance, Skyrim etc, and manages to surpass them all. This game takes all of the best parts of previous games and seamlessly combines them into a masterpiece of a final product. The game runs better than any game I've played in a long time. It has incredible render distance, crisp resolution, rock solid stable fps, and maybe the best lighting and visual effects I have ever witnessed in a video game.

    As for the gameplay, picture a stealth combat system that is reminiscent of Assasin's creed 2.0, with a combat system that is about 10x better and more rewarding than any similar franchise has ever mustered up before. If stealth isn't your thing, simply walk up to the front gates of an enemy encampment and put your dodging/parrying skills to the test to win the fight like a true Samurai; not like some "coward who strikes from the shadows." The game also features brutal and gorey finishers that will result in dismembered limbs and blood hurling in every direction. Buy the damn game. If you want to 100% complete everything, you're looking at a 50-60 hour experience most likely. This is one that will be talked about for years, so you wouldn't want to miss it.    … Expand

Świetna fabuła, zadania poboczne, obłędna grafika, znajdźki, ścieżka dźwiękowa, tryb kurosawy, klimat samurajski, rozwój postaci i bardzo krótkie czasy ładowania to największe plusy tej pozycji. Ta gra trafiła idealnie w moje gusta. Polecam każdemu niezdecydowanemu.

I think playing in Hard difficulty is the best way to experience this satisfying combat system because you have to keep your strategy dynamic by combing parrying, dodging, stances, combos, throwables, and deadly (super cool) abilities and, dare I say, that's what makes you FEEL LIKE A SAMURAI.

It stands out with it´s beautiful visuals and great combat. Highly recommend!

    An extraordinarily gorgeous world that was a joy to explore. From the trees blowing in the wind to the leaves kicking up behind you as ride along some of the best, if not the best, looking sunsets. Even if the details on the individual models themselves aren't necessarily always incredible, but when it all comes together it creates something so good that the visuals alone make this game worth playing.

    While I did enjoy exploring all of the side activities like finding fox dens or hot springs to further Jin's strength throughout the game after 10-20 I started to lose interest in them, luckily though the combat itself redeem all of that. It feels responsive, requires timing and feels very rewarding when playing on hard mode. the 1 on 1 duels feel especially good and get closer to the feeling of Sekiro (even though it´s not as challenging for the most part), while the fights you´ll be having most of the time are closer to what you´d experience in AC, but a lot tighter and polished.

    While stories are not the most important part of a game for me personally, I do appreciate it when I play a game that has that. Ghost of Tsushima doesn't quite get there for me though. While it´s certainly not bad, it´s not the best either. While it´s enjoyable in the moment, the story doesn't really create any memorable moments or stories for me.

    The game managed to keep itself at 30 fps for most of my playthrough even though there were some noticeable drop during larger setpieces or cutscenes. Loading screens are impressively fast and you will barely get to the loading screen before you are back in the game again, unless you are traveling across the map between the different prefectures.

    Being the first game I've played from Sucker Punch I´m really impressed and I´m probably going to take a look at playing their earlier games. Can´t wait to see what they´ll create on the next generation!    … Expand

    The combat feels very satisfying each strike with your deadly katana feel realistic once you get the parries down it becomes greatly rewarding. Multiple stances opens up for interesting combos and more variety to strike down Mongols.

    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.
