    Completely immersive. How is this game not getting 10/10 from every critic??

    Might be my favorite ps4 game.

    Ghost of Tsushima has one of the best open worlds in any video game. The gameplay is immersive and beautiful. The combat is very engaging, brutal, and allows the player to be creative. This game is a great experience and worthy of being called a masterpiece.

    Definitely best Sucker Punch game and probably GOTY too, I liked this game so much, combat was fun, and story was decent too, found some bugs, but it'll be hopefully fixed, already have a platinum for it so I can say if u dont know if to buy it, do it. Its great game for me, my most favourite PS4 game with God of War, and sometimes we see ass of Jin Sakai, GOTY 100% :D

The landscapes and vistas in this game are some of the most beautiful and detailed I have ever witnessed in a video game. I really enjoyed the combat stance mechanic I found it fun and intuitive in design. The use of wind and color makes world traversal an absolute joy rather than a chore. The only negative I have been able to find is that the mouths' of the characters, when speaking are sometimes a bit off. However this is when the selected language is Japanese and I am not sure whether it seems off to me because I am not Japanese myself and not familiar with how to speak or enunciate in Japanese. This is the first game that had me actively wandering the open world looking for fox dens just to give the little fellows a good head pat for their hard work (10/10 best feature).

No quest feels like a chore; moreover you end up pursuing side content because you want to engage with the world as much as possible. What an end to a generation.

    I don't usually rate games but I really wanted to support it for great efforts put in this game. The graphics, gameplay, soundtracks, character improvements in this game are so fresh among other games that came out recently. I've played it since it came out and except for minor bugs (that do not disturb gameplay one bit), I don't think there is anything I can criticize it for.

    That’s the strange thing, outside of the of the stunningly beautiful and dynamic world full of orange trees, purple flowers and luscious green grasses (to name just a few of the colourful flora you’ll encounter in the game), none of the core game dynamics seems to be particularly original or innovative; but then they don’t have to be, because the genius in Sucker Punch’s realisation is the studio’s stunning and brave decision to put all their collective talents into making a traditional video game designed to appeal, as much as possible, to anyone who enjoys playing video games, while having to accept the backlash of joy, gratitude and praise that such a hugely unpopular decision ended up bringing to the table.    … Expand

    The point of this review is to advise a potential buyer whether this is a good enough game to purchase. After just beating the game yesterday (Not 100% for the game though), I cannot recommend this game enough.

After just beating the game yesterday (Not 100% for the game though), I cannot recommend this game enough.

    The game is visually stunning! I found myself stopping to use the photo mode, and that's coming from someone who hardly ever uses that feature, everything was given attention to detail. The animations are very fluid in combat. The trees and grass blowing with the wind, the armor your character wears, etc. I constantly found myself amazed even towards the end of the game.

    The controls are very intuitive, finally a game that takes advantage of the touchpad for the DS4, I only hope that more games take this approach. You can swipe up on the touchpad to see where you need to go, or press it to go into stealth mode, or right to sheathe/unsheathe your sword. I love this feature and hope PS5 takes advantage of the DS5 controller like this game did for the DS4 controller.

    The combat is the meat and potatoes of this game, and it does not fail to impress. There is a learning curve to mastering combat, not dark souls or Sekiro, but still challenging all the way to the end. There are so many techniques to learn and master. The ability to switch stances to counter a specific enemy type (spearman, shield, brute, sword) have a great impact on your ability to defeat your opponents. The standoff mode is also very fun, you must wait for your opponent to strike, but sometimes the enemy will faint an attack, if you swing it'll cost you most of your health. However, if you succeed, the killing is satisfying. Plus, there are upgrades that allow you to chain your kills in standoff, making it extremely helpful in taking out as many enemies as possible in the beginning of combat.

    The stealth is where this game has issues (combined with some stupid AI), although luckily this game (with exception of certain missions) allows you to take on the game head on or try to sneak around and kill them quietly. I will say that stealth gets better as you learn new techniques and upgrade your weapons, however I found myself using the standoff mode. It's still fun, but not nearly as great as facing the enemy head on like a Samurai.

    I loved the story, I'll try to keep it spoiler free, but it is based on one of the Mongol invasions of the 1200s. Your character is trying to free Tsushima, all while internally struggling with the tactics he uses to defeat them. As it was frowned upon for a Samurai to be "sneaking around like a thief"(actual quote from the game), he must use what he can to free the island from the Mongols. A very gripping story that brings out some very memorable moments.

    Side quests are not great but are better than most open world games. Although the lack of HUD in this game helps with exploration of the Island, instead being guided by the wind and pillars of smoke. Sometimes you'll come across a fox and follow him to a shrine to unlock more slots for charms (useful ability boosters). Other times it'll revolve around helping a villager. The side stories luckily all tie into the main story. Which helps the story, because you get to know each of your companions and see that they too are human and go through struggles in their quest to repel the invasion. You see their worst, and their best, in their in personal struggles. Something that few games do well.

    In summary, Ghost of Tsushima is a great end to the PS4 generation. It takes the stale open world genre and refines it. The storytelling is by far one of the best I’ve seen all the way to the end. The combat is extremely satisfying, taking on varying enemies forcing you to adapt to each enemy type on the fly. A mostly HUD free game that allows the play to take in the visuals without any distractions. A quick loading system for fast travel and dying gives us a small glimpse of what PS5 will offer (I look forward to playing the PS5 version). With exception to how stealth is done in this game, along with some small bugs. This game is a must buy for anyone looking for a historically based Japanese Samurai game. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go liberate Tsushima from the mongels.    … Expand

The environment and they way you interact with others is pretty accurate like how you pass your hands through the tall grass and bond with other animals. People have said that he doesn't show emotion towards people but i would imagine its because hes a samurai and he keeps his emotions in checks, so I do not know why many you tubers or other critics criticizes that because it is just logical and in the main character does mention it. I did finish the game I only have about 6 side quest remaining and a few places to explore but overall the game is amazing. The combat system is so well made. you cant just go into a fight expecting to win, you must be attentive to every warriors movement because sometimes they just switch up the attacks. I noticed that in each district the mongols attack are very different almost like they evolved and know your movements. Ghost of Tsushima is just so well made that you can read all the reviews look at all the amazing scores but its one of those games where you have to get it because its just so beautiful to understand what people are saying.… Expand

Because that is already getting tedious. And the dismemberment can be kicked up a notch, it couldn’t hurt to see a arm/hand, leg or head flying off so ounce and a while.

    I am personally a fan of narrative driven games and the fact that the story is so linear doesn't bother me much. However the reason Ghost of Tsushima isn't a 10 for me is some story aspects further into the game, but that is simply my preference.
    Another aspect of interest is the horse-riding mechanics. Sucker Punch doesn't try to reinvent the wheel here. The mechanics are smooth and you don't run into trees every two minutes. Yes I'm referencing you RDR2. Sword play is fun and the animation for cleaning your sword after battle my be my favorite mechanic in the whole game.

Sucker Punch brought us a game that was well thought out and pays homage to Japanese culture (minus a few minor details like the speed of speech and how the sword is at the hip etc. For the time era) while simultaneously reflecting an era from actual history. The way this game is crafted without a HUD, and most everything can be found organically in the world through exploration is amazing and really helps to enhance the stunning visuals while simultaneously enhancing the surrounding sounds from the wind in the trees, Birds chirping or even waves hitting the shore. The attention to detail is astonishing and it sometimes feels more like a work of art rather than an entertainment piece. I have put about 15 hours into the game and am always discovering something new, whether that be saving a farmstead or following a fox to a shrine, I have found that the game always has something for me to discover. It is a game where I can spend an hour wandering around and doing what would be essentially nothing in terms of story progression but still feeling like I accomplished something. This game has easily made it into my top 5 of all time. The only thing stopping me from giving this a 10 is that the combat is not my favourite. I do like the systems for stances however constantly having to switch between stances makes me feel like I'm playing rock paper scissors with enemies at times. I commend them for being creative with the system however, it just isn't to my taste.… Expand

I am a 100% completion guy and none of it ever feels tedious. The only part I get a little nonplussed about is the camera angle can get a bit wonky sometimes, but Ghost is so quick and responsive you are able to get away and reset...which I have found most of the time you need to do to keep from being overwhelmed anyway.

    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.
