    Very aesthetically pleasing game, between the environment of japans nature and stark contrast of the mongol invasions havoc of the landscape is striking at times.

    I would’ve rated it lower due to a few technical bugs but you can’t deny the absolute love and respect Sucker Punch took in creating this beautiful world. The visuals alone are enough to play this game. It needs more polish next around because let’s be real Ghost of Tsushima 2 on PS5 will be a thing

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A part from the main story the side quests are as good as the main scenario.
    And the ending was a true masterpiece it doenst matter if u kill your uncle or spare him on both scenario the price to pay for your new ID(ghost) is too high. They really put well main characters that died not like that trash tlou2.
    Combat is smooth takes a time to master and to know how direction atack work.
    And please fix parkour its a bit wonky.
    And side note please play this game on hard other dificulty will be to easy and boss fights will be something memorable.
    I really hope they make a sequence on the other mongol invasion 10 years later. Lov the game.

    Is it Flawless? No, there are some minor issues here and there (like very minor Framedrops), but the keyword here is *minor* those absolutely dont take away anything from the greatness that this game is!

    Does it have it's flaws? Yeh, I'm still on the wall (pun intended) about the movement mechanics while climbing cliffs. I found an interesting sequence in the enemy npc (that could be fixed):
    Once they call for reinforcements, going to blow their horns, you can run up to the enemy without them noticing you. From a programming perspective, this means once the ai runs a certain part of the code on the behavior of the enemy npc, it does not perform the seek/seeing activity part of the code anymore.

    Other than that, I have NOTHING to complain about thus far.    … Expand

Unlike other games that try to look as realistic as possible, GOS looks almost like a beautiful painting everywhere you go, its just gorgeous. The game isnt perfect with some repetitive mission structures, a few bugs here and there (although not game breaking or too bad at all) and some camera issues when fighting in close quarters with no lock on, but you can get over those easily bc everything else is great.

While the opening is a little tepid, especially after the hype, when the world opens up after the first couple hours, GHOST begins to take on a life of its own. Instead of the map being littered with question marks and way points, the story and your exploration opens up new places to go. And each little quest and story is delicately drawn, you immediately are drawn in. Sucker Punch lovingly recreates 13th century Japan. You can tell there was a lot of thoughtful consideration taken from the recreation of architecture to how the story is told through the world itself.

    Speaking of this, many open world games get this wrong. Sucker Punch has chosen to craft its game world to TELL the story - showing the aftermath of the Mongol invasion through the charred landscape and villages. The stylized graphics are breathtaking as the color choices invoke mood time and again. The added Kurosawa mode allows you to imagine yourself in THE SEVEN SAMURAI or any number of 50s and 60s classics by the Japanese director. A nice touch, but as others have said, you're depriving yourself of the magnificent color choices if you play through in that mode.

    As far as the combat, it's not a SOULS-type game, but close to Arkham-style, which is great because there are so many upgrade options available to make combat interesting and awesome to watch and take part it in. The stealth, "ghost" option is nice, too, but is pretty standard AC-style fare. What this game does is really push forward the notion of what open world games can do. Especially in how the map is revealed to the player, how way points are handled (the wind shows you the way), and how even the smallest side quests are handled with care to push the main story forward. Also, one doesn't have to play all side quests - this is not an RPG.

    I'm not really one to care too much for a game's story, but in this case, it's well done. It might not be as great as some of the inspiration it takes from (see: Kurosawa's films), but it is a loving homage to that era and genre of Japanese film.

    The highlights of GHOST are the beautiful world, fun combat, and the exploration, which takes notes from Nintendo's BREATH OF THE WILD.

    After fifteen hours, I can say, this game is top-tier, and Sony and Sucker Punch can be proud to end the PS4 era on such a high note.    … Expand

Sucker punch promised us a great game, and they didn’t disappoint whatsoever. The combat in this game is flawless, it’s actually complex and a lot of thought has to go into it, it requires skill. It’s not just button mashing, you will not be good at combat the first time you try it, it will take a while and that’s what I love about it, you can’t keep your eye away from the screen during combat because Jin is just human, this guy can’t take much hits. Only problem with combat would be the camera angle, sometimes you can’t see yourself or your enemy. But other than that it’s fantastic. The story of this game is nothing special but that’s not a bad thing. The story is great, it works very well, it is very well paced and very well written and I was really interested in the characters and what would happen next. The story isn’t that long, you could probably finish it in 2 days if you only focused on it, but that’s not a bad thing either. Stealth in ghost of tsushima is amazing, not because it just feels super satisfying, but because you have a dozen options of approaches when it comes to stealth, there are so many approaches in stealth, you can climb up to rooftops, crawl under building, go through broken windows, take an enemy out from the other side of the door and bring him in with Your katana. There is so much variation, it never gets boring. This game really shines in the side actives and the world. The world is absolutely gorgeous and I have never seen anything like it before. I really took my time when it came to exploring the world because I wanted to appreciate it. Sucker punch put an insane amount of effort into creating this world and I cannot praise them enough. Now let’s talk about side quests/activities. There are A LOT of side quests, and when I say a lot, I mean a lot, completing all the side objectives there is in the game will probably take longer than completing the story from the looks of it. There are a lot of different side quests and all of them are insanely fun. Finding the shrines is some of the most fun I’ve ever had in this game because of the amazing parkour that you have to do to get there, and there are a lot of shrines. These shrines also reward you with charms which you can put on your katana for extra benefits. Hot springs are places where Jin relaxes to reflect on 1 of 2 things that you get to pick, once you’re done with that it gives you a little increase to your maximum health, there is literally character development in one of the most simple things in the game. Cutting down bamboo is surprisingly really fun and can be challenging at times. You have to press a certain combination of buttons to complete it in a very short period of time but completing them will give you extra resolve. Now, mongol camps. I know a lot of people will think that they’re boring, but no. I don’t do the mongol camps because it’s on my map, I do them because they are a ton of fun, I have so much fun doing them and I just keep doing more. I never ignore any fights. They’re that fun. Side missions in this game are a lot and all of them mean something, they’re not just random missions, they reward you and they all have a backstory to them that’ll keep you interested. Upgradability in this game might be a bit overwhelming at first because there’s so much to upgrade like: your armor, your katana, your tanto, your bow, your throwables and then you also have the skill tree(s), there are multiple skill trees, ones for mythic tales which give you very powerful special abilities by completing a certain mission. There is the deflection skill tree which gives you skills for deflection. Evasion, an individual skill tree for all 4 stances, An individual skill tree for all your throwables, the ghost abilities skill tree, and the exploration skill tree. And the only other thing that kind of bothered me (this is very nit picky by the way) was there were too many cuts/black screens. The game loads faster than any game I’ve played recently too, you’ll barely be able to read the tips, it’s that fast. And that’s about it for this review. If you’re on the fence for this game, please do yourself a huge favour and buy it.… Expand

    I reviewed this game for Hindi speaking viewers. And from the get go, the game is the best representation of a Samurai game ever. The ambience, the Japanese dialog, the combat everything is worth buying the game. This is the best PS4 exclusive released this year. However, SP needs to fix the camera angle .

    The game does not cease to surprise me with new abilities and tools to use against new and adaptive foes, throughout the whole game. It feels as though the possibilities are truly endless.

    This game honestly revived gaming for me and took me back to a time where games were designed and meant to be FUN - a focus that has recently perplexingly become abandoned.

You feel like a complete badass throughout the game, whether you are an honorable samarai or a brutal ghost. Exploring the island and completing its challenges and side quests doesn't feel like you're just checking of boxes to get that platinum trophy and you are often rewarded well for completing them. I really enjoyed the story and the continuous reminder that you are supposed to fight with honor and i couldn't help but feel bad whenever I took out a camp as the ghost. My opinion on the story may be influenced by the fact that I just have a natural interest in the history of the Mongol empire and ancient Japan but i can definitely see many people enjoying it even if they are not interested in the history. I am not an anime fan so getting a game based in Japan that wasnt just a bunch of magic and invincible characters but was actually a very grounded and brutal experience was a breath of fresh air. If you weren't sure on whether or not to buy this game, take my word for it, you will most likely enjoy it.… Expand

    Are you tired of a mini-map that you end up staring at for 80% of the time instead of looking into the game itself?

    Ghost of Tsushima is the answer to that and much more!
    With almost no HUD, the scenario is your guide! All visual elements that stand out and get your attention, directing your journey and immersing yourself in the perfect Samurai experience. The combat is fluid and you can't rely on lock-on. Seems hard in the beginning, but mastering it gives not only the sensation of achievement but also makes you enjoy your fights even more.
    Jin is a really likeable character that you can understand and sympathise with. The voice acting is on point. All ability points add something new to the gameplay.

    Simply playing the flute in the middle of the grass fields, or paying respect when meeting someone, or cleaning your sword after the killing blow. Such small things, but with such an impact once you put yourself in Jin's perspective.

    I can't find a single complaint about this game. Yes, the camera might be clunky sometimes, but this is but a small problem when compared with all the fun and immersion this game can give you.

    I hope other companies learn from Ghost of Tsushima. This is open world done right.    … Expand

Los combates (al menos en difícil) son exigentes y muy gratificantes y por lo pronto la historia se sigue con bastante interés.

    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.
