    Look here, this is the best samurai game I have ever played. The story keeps you on your feet. The gameplay is far from boring. It is challenging. The characters feel authentic. The atmosphere of the game is incredibly detailed and all around beautiful. It is a challenging yet relaxing game.

Sucker Punch in my opinion has truly enhanced open world exploration with the much welcomed addition of the guiding wind which allows for total immersion and appreciation of scenery. Since the Witcher 3 I have not been this pleased by an open world game. Which brings me to my next point: side quests. Just like W3 these events feel like they matter, and the rewards are worth my time. One aspect I really enjoyed was the incorporation of haiku composition as a means to earn a piece of equipment, these events feel wholesome and deeply satisfying. Lastly I would say that although the stealth element is more of the same as you would see in AC or MGS, this does not detract from the game but adds it to the realm of greats, in my opinion it never gets old. Combat is fluid and thrilling. The stance mechanic is a fun game of rock paper scissors that kept me on my toes and made character progression interesting. Excellent game and definitely worth my money. Expand

    Pros:
    Great graphics and art direction, good narrative, combat is amazing and exploration will just make you want to do more photo mode. Speaking of it, photo mode is the best in game and i made a lot of shots and still finding more creative shots to do.

    Pros:
    Great graphics and art direction, good narrative, combat is amazing and exploration will just make you want to do more photo mode. Speaking of it, photo mode is the best in game and i made a lot of shots and still finding more creative shots to do.

    Exploration is the key of the game, Navigating Tsushima itself is fantastic with the gust of wind telling you where to go, foxes showing you shrines and golden birds to show you points of interest.

    Combat is great and you have variety of stances and weapons on your arsenal.
    Narrative is great and you get to know more of Jin Sakai’s story about following his strict code or find other ways to beat the Mongolians.

    Customization is unique because of each armor has their own abilities and perks and you can pick your own headband and masks that you can require by doing missions or exploring the world.

    Lots of activities there like composing Haiku, relaxing in onsen, visiting shrines of Inari and mountains, cutting down bamboos and plenty more.

    Side missions are the best like The Witcher 3 which tells a small tale of that character in the certain mission and you’ll know their character development and story throughout the game.

    Narrative on the other hand is really good and knowing about Jin's past and has to follow the strict Samurai code and you'll know more of his character development for his people and his trusted allies.

    Cons:
    Stealth is pretty okay with me but the AI can be dumb at sometime like they’re trying to find you but you simply in the tent and they don’t bother checking it in there.

    Camera can be your enemy as well. Because big objects can also block your view and it can be distracting since you’re facing a bunch of enemies,

    Mission design can be repetitive and also tedious like the tailing missions and those auto restart the mission if you get detected, its like back in the early 2010s.

    The villain itself is somewhat interesting since he has his motives but he's like Bowser since he'll just hop on another castle while you're trying to get him and you got this report that he rode there.

    Overall its a great experience to try out a modern samurai game and its either you can buy it now or wait for it on sale and its about 40gb it wont take up that much space.

    I give Ghost of Tsushima a 10 because of how well the development team handled the game design, Audio, Music Score, And Combat! Starting off with the design!

Graphically, Ghost of Tsushima looks AMAZING! The wonderfully rendered textures and Animations give the game its unique charm that captivates the audience to show the true beauty of Tsushima Island... On my journey across the Tsutsu and Hiyoshi areas of the Izuhara region, I spent HOURS in the games photo mode, Whilst completing main quests and side missions! The audio is very well done, Played best with headphones of course! The music fits well with the action and the exploration, As well as cutscenes too! Dramatic when in combat, And soothing when exploring! And the NPC diolog is at it's highest quality! To save the best for last, Combat! The combat in Ghost of Tsushima is amazing... The free-flowing swordplay displayed is exceptional! I was able to use Bows, Kunai, and even sticky bombs too! While mixing in some stealth.

    A few cons..The unlimited arrows the enemy archers have at thier disposal are just appalling! It would be cool to see them run out of arrows to pick out some more, to add realism! And there are a few small texture issues as well.. But that's because I'm not using a PS4 PRO. in conclusion, Ghost of Tsushima is worth EVERY PENNY as the game delivers exceptional quality, Combat and Immersion! The character progression and customization is the cherry on top in this action packed open world game!

It’s got some pretty dumb AI that makes the stealth a little awkward sometimes, but most of the time the stealth is still really fun. And if you decide to be an honorable samurai, the combat is incredible. The stances introduce a level of complexity that I still haven’t unlocked the full depths of. On surface level, each stance just works better against different enemies (which on its own can make the strategy of each fight really fun) but once you start to get good at switching stances around you realize how personalized each fight can become. Each stance has a variety of different heavy attacks that all have cool different animations, and when you finally start experimenting successfully with these, it’s incredibly badass. One of the better combat systems I’ve ever seen in a video game, though the difficulty levels may leave a little to desire for people who enjoy From Software games.

    The world is like constantly walking through the most perfect samurai movie. It’s nothing like real life Tsushima (which apparently is mostly mountains and dense forest, which is beautiful in its own right but wouldn’t make for a very fun open world), and instead pulls biomes from all over mainland Japan. There’s an incredible simplicity with each area that really makes every single moment memorable. Jason Connell and the rest of the art team really had a clear vision of minimalism and executed it perfectly.

    The music as well accents every second of the game perfectly. It’s not always playing, and it doesn’t have the same consistent ambient music like in Red Dead, but this means that when it starts to play it really evokes every emotion it’s meant to. The strongest example of this for me is when you’re following a fox to an Inari shrine. Absolutely magical moment every time, as a furry little friend leads you to the shrine, this beautiful ethereal music eases its way into your ears filling you with an incredible sense of wonder and magic. Truly one of the best moments of the game every time it happens.

    The story is much more mature than I was really expecting, especially given how little of it they actual showed in their marketing. It doesn’t do too much to really shock you or subvert the typical tropes of the samurai Genre, but it’s an incredible story of Jin Sakai having to go against everything he knows and was taught growing up. His relationship with his uncle is very well built and serves as a great contrast, as Jin is changing into the ghost, and his Honorable uncle who taught him everything he knows has to essentially watch him turn into everything he told him not to be.

    The only real downsides this game has aren’t very big ones. The AI can be pretty dumb, but not dumb enough that either style of combat is made to be not fun. The animations can be a little sloppy sometimes, and once you are fully upgraded for stealth, the assassination animations really lack any variety. The lip sync in cut scenes is really sloppy, and the cutscenes in general (specifically outside of the main story) really lack any inspiration or interesting movement by the character models, they mostly just are standing there doing gestures at each other, which isn’t a big deal except that the side quest they showed at E3 2018 was much more interesting than any other side quest cut scene in the game.

    This has to be one of my favorite games I’ve ever played. It doesn’t quite have the same polish of games like RDR2 or TLoU, or even GoW, but at the end of the day it’s just fun to play. From the combat, to walking around the world following birds and foxes, the moment to moment gameplay is always immersive and fun. I fully recommend this game to anyone who enjoys open world actions games.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. In my opinion it's a enjoyable game. The graphics are okay for the ps4 and the landscapes are just beautiful. The combat was pretty fun. Actually I had a lot of fun with the combat system and I can't clearly tell you why. The story is cool if you are into Samurai stuff, like the 武士道 (Bushido code), or you just have some backround knowledge about the mongolinvasion etc. but if not it's a okay story not overwhelming. But the whole exploration is just astonishing, in my opinion, it's fun and the lovely little details, like petting a fox, climbing up Shinto shrines, or just relaxing in an onzen makes it even much better. The sidequests gives us a look in diffrent personalities, which we meet in our revenge trip. Like the one with massako a women, who lost her whole family and has nothing else in her mind, than revenge for her family. And the Ishikawa storyline is cool too. It's kinda like Anakin vs Obi wan. The only thing I doesn't like is the whole camera stuff. It is annoying sometimes, like in from software games. But all in all a very decent game, that is a must buy, if you are interested in japanese culture or Samurai/Shinobi action. Expand

I finished the main story, and already GoT is right there on top of my list of best games, with God of War, Spiderman and Horizon Zero dawn.

    My score is based on following:

    1. Artistic direction and fantastic visuals, which really bring the feeling of the history. I think in general, artists are given far less credit than they deserve, and here I commend SP for forstering their talent in arts.
    2. Excellent gameplay and combat mechanics, which are brought in at suitable pace.
    3. A believable story, and solid structure. The game manages to capture the player at the very benginning so well, so you feel that you are proceeding with a good pace. Compared to say Death stranding, GoT is reallly good at the beginning. I have just gotten frustrated with the DS mechanics which are overly complicated.

    So there it is, a solid 10 for the game that tops my list of games in this console generation.

The transitions between cutscene and gameplay feel so last gen, and some of the animations during convo cutscenes are so barebone. There are also quite a number of glitches. NothIng game-breaking though, just immersion-breaking at times.

When you talk about sucker punch and the job that they did bringing us into this generation with First Son and then taking us home with Ghosts yea this is all-time great...if you want to know what this game is like, I’m assuming this is how the development Ghosts of Tsushima went....

    Dev 1: Yo let’s take Witcher 3 and combine it with Assassins Creed

    Dev 2: Ok...but shouldn't we take all of the dumb BS out of Assassins Creed BS first?

    Dev 1: You right.

    Dev 2: Bet.

    This game pushes its genre to perfection. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because it does feel like it was intensively inspired by the latest Assassin's creed. I played the japanese dubbed version and to me this is helps make the game way more immersive. Game of the year?

    -Increase predator skins required for upgrades and killing other animals can generate skins so the game will be much more exciting. -Different dual and boss mechanics, -NewGame+ -New weapons and specific abilities for them -Mythic monsters like kappa, demon... I know this game is histroy accuracy but release a seperate dlc won't

    I've been waiting for this game ever since it was announced in 2018. Even though Suckerpunch did not reveal many things about the game up until its release, it made me more excited for what was to come. I can with full confidence say that I enjoyed the game thoroughly and am now on a second playthrough.

    Since I am a story buff, I love playing games with a really good story in them.

I can with full confidence say that I enjoyed the game thoroughly and am now on a second playthrough.

    Since I am a story buff, I love playing games with a really good story in them. Ghost of Tsushima delivered a cinema-worthy story that I will remember for a long time, which also included some noteworthy teachings about the perspective of honor, sacrifice and legacy. I really hope that this can become a long-standing IP on the same levels of Assassins' Creed.

    I'll be honest, combat took a while to get used to, more so since I played through the whole game on Hard difficulty. The enemies are brutal in the beginning of the game, since one would have to get used to the combat system. But after involving oneself a bit more into the combat, as well as unlocking new techniques and tools, the game becomes easier to play, as well as more fluid. This will then result in a much more enjoyable combat experience. Whether you want to play as a honorable samurai, a fallen ronin, or a stealthy ninja; this game got you covered. To get a glimpse of what combat fluidity can look like in this game, I recommend watching the recent Youtube videos made by Youtubers such as Swifty Unknown and THE GAMER EYES.

    The graphics are absolutely STUNNING! I am not a huge graphics enthusiast, but even I got to say that this game is absolutely beautiful. Almost every place and scene in this game is screenshot-worthy, especially with the Photo Mode that exists in the game. As evidenced by the already many pictures submitted by the community, this game does not skip a single beat when it comes to the aesthetics.

    That being said, I noticed the game still has a few bugs related to movement of the character, but not a complete game breaker since they rarely ever happen. Some side quests can be a bit repetitive in their objectives, but they all also have their own story.

    As a conclusion, I recommend any person into the samurai/ninja fantasy to pick this up immediately. It's a beautiful game with a gripping story and thrilling combat.

    The Open World Samurai Game we've all been waiting for, Ghost of Tsushima delievers after the long anticipated wait.

    Before I say anything I want to preface that while this game doesnt exactly bring anything ground breakingly new to the table it shines with the polish of its foundation.

    Graphics
    GoS has got to be one of the most beautiful games I've played on console period. This game gives PC games a run for their money as many times a session I found myself just exploring the vast landscapes of 13th Century Japan just to take in the beauty of the world crafted by Sucker Punch Games. Whether it be surveying the damage caused by the Mongol Invaders, to the calm rocky beach shores of Japan, to the beautiful fields of flowers packed with color, this is one of the only few games that I have played where I sometimes have to stop in-game to take in the scenery of it all and even though there is fast travel I found myself not using it due to the beauty of the island. They did a really magnificent job with the world and atmosphere of this game and its actually astonishing how they managed to do it on a console at the end of its Generation. The media tools included in the Photo Mode are also exquisite and I already have tons of screenshots saved using all the options included within it.

    Combat
    There are 2 ways to play - Samurai or Ghost.

    Ghost is more catered towards Assassins Creed type of Gameplay where you can dispose of enemies with ease by assassinating them using all the assassins tools(smoke bombs, firecrackers, bombs, etc) at your disposal. This makes the game feel very easy and it makes clearing outposts a breeze.

    Samurai is my preferred way to play the game as it makes the game and combat more challanging. I would suggest playing on Hard as this makes playing this way feel more rewarding. Playing as a Samurai means fighting with honor and honor includes fighting your oppenent in a fair fight.....even if the odds seem unfavorable. You are able to challenge enemies to a standoff where you have to time your strike to slash your opponent in one hit(the number of opponents can increase with a certain item(s) later on in the game). There are different types of Stances which are all used to help you with certain types of enemies which actually do make a difference during combat. You can't just spam during combat if you play on the harder difficulty as you will be punished with 1 to 3 hits so patience is key. There is your usual parrying, blocking, and dodging mixed with unblockable attacks but it keeps you on your toes as you can be overwhelmed very easily when you are surrounded by enemies.

    There are also different armors and charms you can get throught the game which can give you stat boosts, to extra resources when gathering, or even just some extra consumables; whatever playstyle you want to play Ghost of Tsushima has you covered.

    Music
    The music in this game is amazing and it really helps the atmosphere take that step to the next level. Hearing the pounding of the Taiko drums whilst im surrounded by Mongols makes you really feel like a Samurai with the pounding only getting more intense with each opponent takedown. The game had 2 Composers working on the Soundtrack and boy does it show. The sound layering used in this game is second to none and it really gives the world more life even during the invasion.

    Story
    You play as Jin Sakai of Clan Sakai as the Mongols invade your homeland of Tsushima. Jin must gather his allies while picking up new techniques along the way to defeat the Mongols, but these new techniques cause conflict within Jin. What lengths will Jin go in order to protect his homeland and the people who cant defend themselves? The internal struggle between honor and survival is very present throught the game and what is a Samurai if without honor?

    The characters were very enjoyable and believeable as I found myself wanting to do the next mission in each of the Characters side quests to find out more about them. The effects that war and loss have on people can truly lead them down a path of twists and turns that turn them into something they dont recongnize when they look in the mirror and this game keeps me reminded of the unpredictability of human nature.

    Ghost of Tsushima is a MUST play if you ask me. This game takes every element and aspect of open worlds games and polishes it till its shining like its brand new while blending it together with one of, if not, the most beautiful open worlds there is to date and also adding a technical combat system on-top really makes you feel like a Seasoned Samurai Warrior exploring the world of Japan under Siege, taking in the lush beauty of it all but staying on your toes as you never know what situation will present itself next. Ghost of Tsushima is a Masterpiece and kudos to Sucker Punch Games for sending off the PS4 right and leaving a better taste in my mouth to end off the consoles lifespan.

    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.
