Even in an open-world setting, the side quests or stories help enrich the world with its emotionally resonant stories which effectively displays a full spectrum of emotion and lore. 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.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful masterpiece.

    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.

I haven’t been so immersed in a gaming world since the release of bloodborne. Every action I make feels meaningful, whether it be destroying a Mongolian logging outpost, or simply helping a random villager to fend off their attackers, or stopping to recollect my thoughts in the midst of a war to write a haiku about my experiences. 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.

    Ghost of Tsushima is by far the most satisfying game we have seen this year so far. Whether it's the gorgeous environments bolstered by incredible sound design, intense combat that makes your character progression feel truly important, or the constant array of things to do where everything is rewarding. I really cannot reccomend this game enough.

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

    Looks gorgeous & astonishing landscape and background Shaders. I'd truly love to give the developers a big hand. 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.

    definitely a breath of fresh air, visually at least. Amazing use of color, and minimal HUD interface lets it show through. 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.

I personally didn't have as much trouble getting into the story as I've seen in some of the major reviews. 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

Plus there are no over the top markers that fill up every little space of the screen. so you need to search every bit of nook and cranny to find collectibles and items that will help you on your journey.

    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.

    For those people who are into Open World games, have a sweet spot for Uncharted Series, Assassins Creed series, Witcher 3 and Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild. Then this game is a must buy for you

    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. But cyberpunk 2077 will probably change that especially if it's as good as it looks so far. But all together its a fun 25+ hr game that's a lil challenging and visually stunning thru out

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.

    Es una experiencia única este juego, ¿Se parece a DS o Sekiro?, la respuesta es No, tiene más parecido a The Witcher y AC. Es un juego que deberías probar y disfrutar por tu propia cuenta, seguramente no te va a decepcionar.

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.

    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.

    This is perhaps one of the most amazing games I had ever played! This is the first game, which I genuine feel the sense of exploration and being in a forest from simply the gameplay. I do not know if it is the camera placement or the details, but I feel a sense of actually walking thorough a large dense forest! I love what SP have done!!!

    The story is not that all but it's still great. The characters are strong developed and I feel empathy for them
    Taking the facial expressions aside, the graphics are one of the best of the generation, the scenarios are just amazing and the combat is fluid and energetic
    The open world and parkour mechanics are fun and opens lots of possibilities to explore

    Ghost is a wonderful swansong for the end of the PS4.
    I could go on about how beautiful it is, how fun it is to play, how great the game runs, etc. however the one thing that continually impresses me is how COHESIVE the game is.

    Every element comes together seamlessly as story drives gameplay and its evolution, then sound and music design enhance every moment with a wonderful combination of ambient nature, living npcs in the background, and the stellar soundtrack that feels tailor made for combat, exploration, and cinematics.
    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.
    Additionally a fan of old-school Samurai Cinema you will find yourself tripping on nostalgia for this game CONSTANTLY.

    the music, fantastic, the kind of music that gets a spot in your brain even after you finish the game, creating memmories from each note.
    the gameplay is superb, nothing feels tedious, well except waiting a bit for jin to resume moving after finishing an objective but still superb.
    and unlike many other games this one ENDS well, a very great tie up to this amazing story that will leave you wanting to experience this entire thing all over again.
    10/10 would reccomend you all to get this one.

    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

    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.

The characters are a bit dull, but the story is still very entertaining, it’s very similar to older samurai movies. 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.
