    Game is amazing. Can't get enough of it. Rdr2 is the only recent open world game that's on par with this.

The main storyline, cascading between flashbacks and the present, connects players to the moral ambiguities of Jin Sakai's dilemma, allowing them to sympathize with him and carry the burdens that the character is weighted with.

    This is a game of picturesque imagery in motion that captivates with its gorgeous visuals and gripping story, created with intricate detail and reverence to the Japanese culture.

    The last time a game made me feel this jawdropped was Spider-man. Everything is beautiful, the combat is extremely smooth and satisfying. You constantly stumble upon new things and the way the game points you to those things is the best UI I've ever seen. Be it birds or the wind, the visual cues are everywhere.

    Wish I could.give it 11. In my opinion, this is GOTY.

It all feels like somehow I’m making a difference to turn the tide of the war. The gameplay to me feels very fluid and engaging. And whereas I have heard about others experiencing immersion breaking bugs, I have yet to see any. Perhaps I’m just lucky, but with how my experience with the game has gone thus far, I absolutely feel that it deserves a 10/10, and I have been, and will continue to recommend this game to all of my friends.… Expand

The rest of the world (when you aren’t completing the same tasks) has you on the search for a number of different collectibles, of which there are over 100+. Don’t get me wrong, the game does some interesting things such as combat stances and mythic tales, and the story’s finale is great, however I can’t help but feel this game is overachieving, it’s not bad but it’s already been done time and time again in this generation. I’ve platinumed it because it was achievable, not because it was extremely enjoyable. Nowhere near the 9.2 it currently has.… Expand

Thoughtful user interfaces such as skill, combat, quest guide system I'm pretty enjoying and being into it. It's such a shame that I couldn't feel main character's emotional stuff well like Last of us or Witcher, but still this game will be one of the greatest open world games ever.

It falls to alot of the general open world check in the box map tasks, and can feel extremely repetitive when diving into completionist territory.

In fact, that's what kept me going while other recent releases, I couldn't bring myself to finish because I hated the narrative. Definitely would recommend Ghost to anyone who is a fan of "Arkhamish" combat, open worlds, and enough progression to still give a reason for the eventually repetitive map tasks.… Expand

    The Game looks stunning, an open world game that wont bored you, also the story captivates you to not let go of the controller because of the many many hidden side quest that is not misleading to the real goal of the game. Sucker Punch really put a lot of effort in making this game.

    Only thing holding back 10 rating is a few minor bugs. One of the best game of this generation only behind witcher 3 and RDRD 2 for me.

El combate no es malo pero tampoco es una revolución tanto así que para algunos pudiera ser cansado y muy repetitivo (Tanto el personaje principal Jin, NPC, Bosses). Una gran flaqueza es la posición de la cámara, que puede resultar un tanto molesto con objetos cercanos, que tiende a obstaculizar la visión, especialmente cuando haces enfrentamientos. El mundo es gigantesco y con muchas cosas por descubrir, en verdad, hay muchas cosas que descubrir y paisajes que admirar.
    El sistema de personalización de personaje es sumamente versátil y atractivo, aunque no hay demasiadas armaduras, estas pueden personalizarse en color y en mejoras, que te ayudan a tu día a día en la isla invadida por mongoles. La dificultad del juego es completamente subjetiva, en mi particular caso me resultó bastante sencillo en "DIFICIL", habrá que probarse en la dificultad más alta, dicho sea de paso te mata al primer golpe que recibas.

The world is vibrant, the map is gigantic, the story is compelling and unlike certain other recent titles, the game does not try to actively guilt-trip you for the bad things it requires you to do - instead, it explores the player character's struggles to reconcile those (necessary) actions with the man he thought he was and the man he wants to become.

    The combat is fluid and feels as good to use as it looks on screen. Your combat utility is also impressive, giving you options tailored to specific enemy types, multiple secondary items/weapons, a robust parrying system, and more. Whilst it's likely to draw comparisons with Sekiro or Nioh, in truth it's not really like either of those games.

    The game is technically outstanding as well - maintaining a stable framerate on PS4 Pro hardware in "framerate" mode, and even performing admirably on base PS4 systems. How they've achieved this is anyone's guess - the level of detail in the terrain, the texture quality, and the considerable draw distance are all staggering to behold.

    There is no struggle for things to do ingame - you can seek out shinto shrines for charms, bamboo-cutting for extra resolve, inari shrines for charm slots, haiku locations for cosmetic items, and hot springs for extra health. There are numerous sidequests which are encountered either organically whilst exploring, or by speaking to people in hubs for "rumoured locations". Engaging in open-world combat is also an option thanks to the roaming bands of Mongols and Bandits you find. And again, the combat feels so good to engage in that you will find yourself actively seeking out battles just to experience it.

    As far as twilight-era titles for the PS4 go, this game has ticked all the boxes and is close to being a necessary purchase. It has earned its 10 proudly.

    The only open world game better than this is BOTW. If they can improve stealth, enemy AI and the damm camera then we would have a masterpiece on our hands. Roll on Ghost Of Tsushima 2.

    I'm gonna sum this game up in one word... BEAUTIFUL! I was blown away at the E3 trailer in 2017 and was so sceptical about whether this game would live up to the scale of what they showed in the trailer back then. And I am pleased to say, THEY FREAKING NAILED IT!!! Honestly, the hardest part of playing Ghost of Tsushima is putting the controller down. This game is a masterpiece in my opinion.

    GoT is a very solid entry at the end of the PS4 life cycle. The game succeeds in displaying a breathtaking Tsushima island to explore and backs it up with relatable characters and satisfying combat. The wind mechanic is a welcome alternative to the standard compass + quest marker approach of similar games, as it wonderfully merges with the landscape and mystical undertones. FollowingGoT is a very solid entry at the end of the PS4 life cycle. The game succeeds in displaying a breathtaking Tsushima island to explore and backs it up with relatable characters and satisfying combat. The wind mechanic is a welcome alternative to the standard compass + quest marker approach of similar games, as it wonderfully merges with the landscape and mystical undertones. Following animals to hidden shrines and points of interest is also a nice touch that matches the setting.

    It's not all great though. Combat, while fluid and satisfying, tends to play out the same way at this point (about halfway through the game): Kill three enemies in a standoff, shoot three more in concentration mode with your bow and finish the rest with the appropriate sword stance. Granted, the skill tree does allow for some variation with Ghost Weapons and stealth thrown into the mix, but I feel that a bit more enemy variety could have been beneficial. Maybe the second part of the island will deliver just that, so I will hold my judgement for now.

    The landscape is the greatest feature of the game, but it's also one of my biggest disappointment in a way, as there are few ways to interact with it. No cutting vegetation, no footprints left in the mud, no diving for discarded items in lakes, no climbing trees, no hidden unique treasures or secret characters to challenge, no fishing (how dare you!) and so on. As beautiful as Tsushima is, it is also somewhat empty - and I'm not referring to mindless busy work here. After a good 20h into the game, walking through a forest or climbing a mountain you will encounter no more surprises, which is a bit sad. Random Samurai duel encounters with unique loot would have spiced up things quite a bit. Towns and camps have similar issues. Apart from being hotspots for loot and traders, there is nothing to do in them. Imagine being able to sit down with some peasants to drink sake together, play a match of Go or join in with your flute while someone is playing the Shamisen. Now imagine tying resource gain more to those actions rather than ransacking every single house in the town, where people are barely keeping their head above the water with what little they have. Facilitating exploration through loot is a good thing in general, but I feel that GoT has overdone it.

    Now, all of this is fair criticism that needs to be raised, but all in all I am throroughly enjoying the game as it is. However, I will also admit that my being very fond of medieval/renaissance Asia and all its facets is a big part of that. If you are just looking for the next open world game and have no particular interest in the setting, you will find GoT a rather mediocre experience. If you are here for the setting, it is probably a solid 8/10.    … Expand

    I am highly impressed with Ghost of Tsushima and constantly have issues setting it down for any reason.
    It isn't perfect, but frankly its issues aren't worth talking about as they would only sound like petty nitpicks and are inherent to the type of game it is.
    If you are a fan of open-world exploration games such as The Witcher 3 and Horizon Zero Dawn you will not be disappointed in Ghost at all.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghost of Tsushima is an open world game done right. Art style, characters, and setting are all a perfect fit for anyone that loves open world, and story driven games I found myself finishing the games main story, side quest, and exploration goals at about 60 to 70 hours, and i honestly enjoyed every minute of gameplay. The combat is fun and easy to learn and the enemys can be brutal and harsh to fight in a group. The enemy AI sometimes messes up having an enemy kind of stand in a tent doorway and lose you from 2 feet away making for easy kills, also the stance system sometimes would not register what stance i chose making me attack a shield user whith a spear attack stance. The story was amazing playing as a honorable samurai who fights for his code and homeland or playing as the stealthy ghost who fights with deadly poisons and assassins tacticsto save his people. The way you play is up to you but you are forced to be the ghost at the end of your journey when the main character realizes that the way to fight an enemy can not always be with honor and sometimes you have to fight dirty branding the ghost a traitor of japan and eventually leading to his clans disbanding, and a duel with your uncle where you can choose to kill or spare him. Edaysther way the ghost will be hunted until the end of his days.

    Overall the game is an amazing accomplishment and deserves high praise which is why i rate it 9/10. If it were not for my stance choices not registering, and AI not getting stuck sometimes i would have rated 10/10    … Expand

    After 10 or so hours of this repetitiveness, I began to grow bored. I would actively avoid the random encounters and forts as there really wasn't enough variation to warrant doing something I'd done 20 times before. There aren't really any super compelling stories in the side quests, and the rewards they offer aren't worth the repetition.

    I really did enjoy the waypoint mechanic and lack of a normal hud, it a pretty refreshing change from the majority of games that are beginning to feel cluttered. The main story was pretty good, but the main story quests were also a bit lacking and repetitive by the time I had gotten halfway through act 2.    … Expand

The open world is designed wonderfully, and everything looks beautiful, and while exploring the already amazing world, a golden bird may fly down and guide you to an undiscovered location. The game provides a long 30 hour base game, with plenty of other content mixed in for a longer and much more entertaining experience. There are also plenty of tools to be used for stealth and combat that evens the odds in unfair situations, for example, sticky bombs will effect every enemy in a close area perfect for if your overwhelmed, bows are great for stealth and dealing with the stronger enemy’s from a far distance, and the blow dart will one shot any enemy unless you hit a shield.

The camera can be a bit finicky at times, like climbing, it also doesn't have a lock of so you have to manually aim Jin at the enemies. And the guiding wind is a bit tricky when you are clearing farms. I wander around for 5-10 minutes trying to find the last hostage. I might just be a bit stupid also. Buy this game.

    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.
