    I've enjoyed the game so far other than a few minor glitches the game is still quite enjoyable. The movement reminds me of a toned down version of sekiro and combat is simple but it doesn't feel relative. Over all the games is gorgeous and worth experiencing

This was not even on my radar but my buddy got it and recommended it to me so I checked it out. I won’t be going through story at all in this review but I will say I loved it!! The combat feels smooth and you feel like a true samurai, switching your stance based on the opponent, standing off on game of deadly chicken, riding on your horse helping people along the way. The archery feels good and is easy to master but it’s held back from being a crutch by ammo being limited, at least at first, which is good in my opinion. You can go the Ghost way which I actually enjoyed dabbling in as it was a good way to thin the herd so you don’t get swarmed by a crowd that you can’t handle. The stealth AI isn’t the smartest but the mechanics and being a ninja samurai is fun. The game wasn’t hard, but it also wasn’t easy, I died in the first 20 min (and immediately felt embarrassed when my wife said, “already?”) but every time you die it doesn’t feel unfair you just think, “okay I didn’t do x y z, lets make sure to do that.” The only gripe I would really say I have with the combat is the camera is pretty bad, there’s no lock on and sometimes you’ll miss a hit that would have easily been dodgeable/parryable. But the psuedo-lock-on they implemented worked okay and ultimately didn’t detract from the experience too much.

    The exploration is probably my favorite part, the wind, the birds, the foxes. There are no real waypoints, it’s all about following nature and using the world to guide you. And the way they tie those mechanics into the story of Jin and his character are super cool as well. It took me a while to finish Act 1 and even longer to finish act 2, not because they’re overly long or drawn out, but because I was spending so much time doing side quests and finding fox dens and doing the mythic quests (also highly recommend these as the cutscenes leading up to them are beautiful and the quests themselves usually have a cool boss fight.) Going back to old areas with new abilities also just strengthen the feeling of being a super powerful samurai. Also when you follow a fox to a shrine, pet it, it will melt your heart how they react. There is a pretty broken perk that says it will allow you to fall from great heights and not take fall damage but it seems that I still take fall damage from the same heights, I might be missing a button press but it wasn’t really explained all that well if that’s the case. Again though, pretty minor stuff and the rest of the perks are really rewarding.

    Everything from the style, the story, the combat, the world, the characters, to those cute foxes, all come together to create an immersive experience that had me wanting to learn Japanese and buy a Katana. I will enjoy playing as Lord Sakai for a long time.    … Expand

And this game does that so well that its almost unfair even for games on the same system. The cutscenes express emotions and conflict very well and they translate beautifully into gameplay. Framing for shots of pivotal moments are always very strong and powerful. The gameplay is a treat as well. You actively think about how you want to play the game. Its has nice variety and very fun overall. The game makes you feel the weight of ypur sword as you stand in a field staring your opponent in the eye. The battle commences, You can decide how you want to play it, some ways do work better on opponents better than others so you're conscious of how you fight. You really come to understand what the protagonist is like as person. You are aware of his motivations and the mechanisms of his thinking. And then the weight of his actions fall on your conscience and it is the most surreal experience I have had in a game.

Combat takes some time to get used to but when you get it down it feels great. Only real downside for me is that the pacing is a little weird sometimes as far as progressing to a point to get the best skills and armors. It feels like this game is what Assassin's Creed should have evolved into but didn't. The story is not the greatest and can be predictable, but it is certainly good and the characters are relatable. The only reason I wont give a 10 is because the gameplay sometimes falls into the trap of repetitiveness which is pretty common with modern day open world games. It also doesn't bring anything really new to the table gameplay wise. Probably not a 9 but I dont think it should be as low as an 8 either. In my opinion it is worth playing purely for how beautiful it is when riding through the environment.… Expand

    The combat is crisp and works well for beginners or novices who want to try their hand at something a little more stylized. Environment is gorgeous. One of the most beautiful pieces of art I have ever seen. Great story. Only very minor gripe is there is some control glitches, but I am sure they will be patched out.

This is really where the feel of a samurai showdown is happening where you can literaly say its damn near perfection, is the a god damn movie? No no this is in fact a video game. Stealth makes the game easy so playing like a true samurai is what makes the game 10xharder saichallange.

The story is fascinating and keeps you wondering what will happen next as all the characters have their struggles to preserve themselves without giving in to pressure of destroying who they were.
    That being said I hadn't seen much bugs or glitches, nothing major from what i have noticed at least, I can only nitpick about how hefty the character's "main" armor looks compared to the cover of the game or how i wish i could dual-wield katanas but maybe they're saving that one for another game. I also want to point out that this game expanded my knowledge on Japanese culture and I believe although it is only a game it honors the memory of the real men and women of that time. Thank you for an amazing experience Sucker Punch.

    Looking through the reviews I hate that everyone is comparing this to TLOU2 as if this was a subreddit or TLOU2 is the newest DarkSouls preset comparison but I sort of get it. It was the latest anticipated game that everyone had an opinion about. I'm just hoping more people realize that critic companies are just as human as the people who review bombs.    … Expand

Graphics are great comparable to Horizon zero dawn. I might be spoiled by PC gaming but I hate motion blur and since this is a console you can disable it sadly so I had to adjust and get used to that dumb graphical tweak that consoles live so much.

    Great game, a worthy swan song for the PS4. Not perfect, no target lock can irritate and some some collision issues when jumping in certain places. With that said, the graphics are stunning, the environments diverse and the story is good with the focal point being Jin's duality between his honor and saving his people. Combat is cool, with mastering stances being a prime aspect of combat.

Combat also offer a lot of way to deal with the enemies you can go on full samurai and use only parry and dodge or stealthy way use all of your tools to finish the job but the best way for me is the mix between two of it and the combat will be refreshing and fun every time.… Expand

The graphics are breathtaking and the environment/ atmosphere is almost tangible it sucks you into the realm in which you are playing, Gameplay and sword fighting is a lot of fun and has a slight technical aspect to it; however, it does not feel complicated or difficult. I enjoy the open world and all the tiny details and the sense of exploration you get from it.

    The story is also really good. I don't want to spoil to much about it, but I will say this game holds a lot of replay value to it. I only encourage everyone who can, please buy this game. You will not regret it!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima was a wonderful game to play! Even the side missions had an actual story filled with emotions. The only downside is the game was glitchy sometimes. Combat seemed repetitive pretty early. The issue i saw with the armor was that I was usually tied stuck using the traveler armor more than anything else. And if I wasn’t using then I was using the ghost armor. I think that instead of going to grab 20 million different armor sets that they had perks that you can attach to your ghost armor. I would have rather seen that than having to tie between being stealthy and “wearing traveling armor”. Also when I wanted to be stealthy it seemed difficult. It wasn’t stealthy like assassins creed stealthy which kinda sucked. Instead of having a person rotate around their territory they would stay in one spot for a bit. I didn’t like that tbh. But the story is amazing. I chose the “bad” ending which I think was more emotional than the “good” ending. I rarely ever cry but this game got me when I chose the bad ending. Even during some of the side quests got me. And I was either emotional distraught over a character or sympathized with them. Story:10/10

The world is massive without being overwhelming, and the game doesn't fall victim to the usual cliche of scouting a viewpoint and then vomiting a bunch of icons onto the map. Instead, the map gradually un-fogs only places you've been, which encourages exploration in a more natural manner.

    Unlike many other action RPGs, this one really provides a meaningful choice for how you want to build your character, at least to start with. My first playthrough I'm focusing on the Samurai skill trees, but I'll do a stealth build for the next one. Or maybe not, since the combat is so satisfying. Seriously, the standoffs never get old.

    This 10 out of 10 rating right here is not because the game has been perfect or else. Its because it worths every single penny you invest on it. Combat and gameplay wise is awesome and if you get the right set (A ps4 and a good TV) thw graphics turns really breatjtaking. Hell, not even in most of PC games you would find something like this.

    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.
