    Outside of some small issues like not being able to lock onto enemies in combat, this game is superb in what it does. The combat is satisfying, the stealth is fun but failing it isn't punishing.

The gameplay and the leveling system is amazing. Instead of level gating like the new AC games, it does in a more subtle way. instead of enemies having more health and more damage the bigger the number above their head is. it's clear if you go to an area that's meant to be seen later on in the game but nothing files forced with all these numbers. the gameplay is really cool and the way that you unlock the stances is really well done but I must say that the stealth mechanics are absolutely unnecessary and really simple and honestly not even fun. the story is not that great, it filled really simple and uninteresting and I didn't particularly like jin as a protagonist and the fact that even if you kill in a dishonorable way only the guys in the first Yuna mission you will be called the ghost and everybody will act like you are not fighting honorably throughout the game. the quests are not bad they follow a somewhat similar structure but I can apostate that the game is not filled with fetch quests and that the sidequests are really interesting.

    Rewarding stealth sections
    Satisfying personal arsenal
    Engaging story
    Rich in lore
    Nice characters
    Breathtaking graphics

    The only issue i have is the camera and no way to order my allies to say stay or follow or hide or run away from danger
    I needed to reset sometimes because of problematic ally ai
    Another i see is, i seem to lose my ammo even if i do not remember using them, it happens whenever i fast travel or other cutscenes like haiku, bamboo cutting and onsen Please fix
    Add a new game plus as well

    So that is my fair criticism sbout it
    Goodluck improving this amazing game suckerpunch!

The combat feels smooth and easy to remember, the map may look so small, but the island of Tsushima is so big that I have to rely on fast travel most of the time to get from point A to point B which I love. I’m always the kind of person to do the main story in open world games first, and then the side stories, but there are so many other interesting stories from the people of Tsushima that I still have so much more of the story to go through and sometimes even have to force myself to actually play the story for a bit. The game that is based in Japan that was made by Americans is so good that even the Japanese themselves loved the game! There aren’t really any complaints from me since the only problems that I have with the game is just me nitpicking the smallest things. Expand

Even when i don't like how they managed the lip sync in Japanese, and other small details, like the subtitles of dialogues in Japanese between NPCs the game is freaking awesome, the patrols encounter frequency, bandits encounter frequency, wild life spawning is just right.

    im really entertained with how and when you get side quests, everything feels so fresh and organic you can easily spend 5 hours without noticing it. (even when some lame ass critics give it a 60 and say they saw this game features repeatedly on PS4. where? well, potato.) Losing yourself while watching how Jin Struggles with the path he is taking in order to save his home. God ths game is soo good, i haven't enjoyed a game this much in years, It isn't a pain to play like the last PS4 exclusive, which i can´t even finish because of the absurd plot that makes playing the rest of the game pointless.

Mechanics are fluid with minor hiccups that can break the moment at times and yet the encounters are satisfing none the less. Story is engaging for where I am at currently.

You unlock new moves and throwable items that make the gameplay much more fun. I’m personally half way through the story and the story starts off really fantastic.

These stumbles in the story so far aren’t too damaging to the game though. There are plenty of side missions, a lot of the missions are just clearing up spaces that have mongols, which is ok. The best side missions are the mythical ones. Mythical side quests lead you on a journey to find missing armor or weapons. These side missions usually lead to a beautiful location where you come across a boss to battle. To me, Photo Mode has been one of the best features in this game. There are so many beautiful locations in this game already, and photo mode allows you to even make it more stunning. This game is a very solid 8/10. Expand

    Not a fan of open world games because I find them to be too unfocused but this game is an exception. It is so easy to jump in and out of side quests while maintaining the main story that it doesn't get boring. The combat is great. Only gripe is that the camera is not perfect.

Jin is a fantastic protagonist, his story throughout the entire game is amazing. It is about choices and sometimes he faces the consequences of the choices he makes.

    The gameplay is fun and i never found myself getting bored, in fact I was always very excited when the standoff option appeared and I was about to face more Mongols. I very much enjoyed leveling up the legend of the ghost to unlock more technique points to make Jin extremely powerful.

    The open world is bar the most pleasing in this game. It is gorgeous, though it does make your ps4 fan very loud. I won't dock any points for that however because I find myself stopping constantly taking pictures of the beautiful world that has been crafted by Sucker Punch. Even after game completion I was still finding new things I hadn't discovered before.

    Only negative I can say about the game is the camera system Is a bit of an annoyance when you are in battle. Other than that the game is a masterpiece for sucker punch and my game of the year so far! If you have a PS4, or waiting on PS5, go buy this game cause it is fantastic!

It is one of the most quintessential love letters to the late great Kurosawa. I could be lost for hours wandering around the the beautiful depiction of Sucker Punch's portrayal of Tsushima. Though of course it is not seeped into historical accuracy as much as it strives to, it overall delivers what it promises to fans; the samurai experience. The game's ability to place you in a state of zen using its vibrant display of colours and tranquil music right before you are smoothly transitioned into intense combat feels exactly like the classic samurai movies of old. Though of course this depiction of a samurai is not pinpoint accurate from a purely historical point of view, Kurosawa's classic movies was for the most part how I perceived how the life of a samurai would be. And this game delivers that feeling to a tee. Finally, this game for me deserves a 10 as it harkons back to why games were made in the first place; to give you an escape from the real world. The fact that this game is so immersive gives it the ability to easily pluck me from reality and drop me straight at the centre of 12th century Japan. In this day and age, it is rare for a game to offer such an escape without dragging elements from the real world that initially drove you into gaming in the first place. Unlike certain Sony Enterntainment games that drag you down with agendas, this game puts a lot of love into making players happy, and players such as myself love it back. Expand

    Havent had this much fun since RDR2. Combat feels amazing, good story, nice customization and a beautiful world that is easy to enjoy, since you're not told what to do by a HUD constantly. Some of the traversal and interaction animations are lacking and can result in immersion-breaking glitches, these are only minor though. Feels like a game for gamers by gamers.

    Ghost of tsushima is one of the best looking open worlds you will ever see. As a Japanese American, it was the perfect depiction of my culture's history, it accurately shows the kind of lives Samurais would live in feudal Japan. While at times the game can become monotonous, it only does it before proceeding into an engrossing sword fight. Loved it! Would recommend 10/10.

    I recently got a PS4 to play Bloodborne and other PS exclusives. Ghost of Tsushima is easily one of the most visually impressive games I have ever played. I am still in the first act, but I have been taking my time with the story so that I can explore and see what the island has to offer.

    I recently got a PS4 to play Bloodborne and other PS exclusives. Ghost of Tsushima is easily one of the most visually impressive games I have ever played. I am still in the first act, but I have been taking my time with the story so that I can explore and see what the island has to offer.

    The exploration system is unique. The idea that you improve your character by soaking in hot springs or chopping bamboo is a really immersive way to level up your character. I love the way the game shows immense respect for Japanese culture and way of life.

    The lack of HUD is great for immersion. The combat does take a bit of time to learn, especially parrying. I would say the parry system is fine. When it works, it feels great. It isn't better than the parry system in Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. The voice acting is very good. I wish that there was a lock-on feature.

    The customization is very vivid and expansive. Can't wait to unlock more items. Like the lack of carry weight limit for your materials.

    I'd say that my only complaint so far, is that the enemies can be very stupid when they are chasing/looking for you. Especially if you have items that boost your detection speed.

    So far, this game looks like it has high potential to be one of my favorite PS exclusives

The Japanese voice actor is the same guy that voices Zoro from One Piece, and does a great job. It seems to be historically accurate so far... the breed of dogs used by the enemy even seems to be accurate. overall if you like this genre then this will be a great one to pick up! Expand

    Monumental return to a great single player experience. The combat is difficult to get used to at times.

    I'm about 20 hours into the game so far and haven't even left the first part of the island, but even as of this moment, this is the best Samurai game I've ever seen. The game is insanely beautiful, even on my almost 7 year old Playstation 4 and 10 year old slowly dying plasma screen.

    The gameplay is satisfying and the progression of skills certainly keeps it interesting. That said,
    I'm about 20 hours into the game so far and haven't even left the first part of the island, but even as of this moment, this is the best Samurai game I've ever seen. The game is insanely beautiful, even on my almost 7 year old Playstation 4 and 10 year old slowly dying plasma screen.

    The gameplay is satisfying and the progression of skills certainly keeps it interesting. That said, having almost done everything on the first part of the game world, I've almost reached max level already, but even when the character is maxed out I feel like that won't have any impact on the fun and satisfaction I get from playing it.

    There's a notable level of progression of the enemies as you level up, gaining new armor, weapons, they attack you during duels at different speeds than the lower level enemies, and while not much changes, there's still plenty there to keep you on your toes.

    The equipment system is absolutely fantastic. Given that you only have to upgrade one Sword, two Bows, throwable capacity and whatever suits of armor you wish to have, each upgrade can afford to cost more resources and feel even more satisfying when you achieve that new level of power. It's a refreshing breath of air from all of the recent (mostly failed) looter-shooter genre games.

    All in all Ghost of Tsushima is as perfect a Samurai game as we've gotten to date. It's beautiful, fantastic, and immensely satisfying to play.

    That said, it does have its downsides, bugs included, but compared to something like Fallout, they're very few and far between, and don't take you out of the game nearly as bad due to their low frequency. I've experienced the Yellow Bird that leads you to certain destinations flying into walls and buildings then disappearing to reset its pathing. While mildly annoying, I only noticed it one village where I assume they programmed its pathing before building the village. Aside from those few, very light gripes, I'd sat it's the best PS4 exclusive, and a perfect ending to the PS4's legacy.

    PS: As a quick side note, I've noticed people on various media sites griping about racism and historical relevance of the game. It may very well be a Samurai game made by Americans, for Americans, but it was never intended to be a historical fiction. It was made as a love letter to Akira Kurosawa and his masterful Samurai film-making. As a Kurosawa fan myself, I can say that they followed his example closely and made the best Samurai game they could with what they had to work with. This title should be applauded and enjoyed for the game that it is, and not booed for not being the game that woke media is saying it should've been.

I seemed to have had an idea of what to expect before playing this, however once i started the game and after the initial 2 hours those expectations were completely blown out of the water. The open world of Tsushima Island seems limitless, the landscape & colors are beyond beautiful, the non-arcade style of combat is rewarding, the more you play, you begin to feel as if you've been fully immersed into what it feels like to be an actual Samurai. This game is a breath of fresh air, it's something i didn't realize that i had wanted within a game until playing it. Although there may be bugs and glitches, this is common with every game, as not everything will be perfect. From side quests to main missions, or free roaming and exploring the landscape I haven't felt any repetitiveness to a degree, there is always something to do. IMO this has been one of the most enjoyable games to play since RDR2 by R*, I would recommend this to anybody looking to get lost in an open world game with a story line that is loosely based on the Mongol invasion of Japan in 1274. Thank you Sucker Punch & Sony, this is without a doubt going to be a GOTY candidate. Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is a Gorgeous game dripping with atmosphere and some of the most beautiful landscapes put to this Medium.
    The setting of Early Classical Japan is an almost time machine like travel as your dropped into a war of culture and morality, though not as in depth with its history like its contemporary Assassins Creed Odyssey but nonetheless still captures an interesting setting

    The Graphics are for the most part Stunning with every blade of grass and every cherry blossom that you come across rendered splendidly even for the weathered old warhorse that is the PS4, one place of lacking would be sadly the water though considering you come across little of it it this is not a deal breaker.

    The Story is Simple yet fun with a plethora of fun characters with even the villain coming of likeable.
    the use of a Japanese cast even for the English voices is a nice bonus as it gives respect to this proud cultures history which is further shown by the Addition of the Kurosawa mode that with the flick of a switch turns your 21st century colourful world into a ode to the Legendary Japanese director Akira Kurosawa which just shows the respect that sucker punch have for the culture they where representing.

    Now finally the game play. Overall there isn't anything too revolutionary about the controls, Stealth is fun but feels like a copy paste from the previously mentioned Assassins creed. Combat is still fun with the multiple stances aiding you in combat allow you to become a samurai if only on the stormy isle of Tsushima

    Overall this was worth the wait and is strongly recommend this
