    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is truly something! I wasn't expecting less. The world is art is completely beautiful, I was oftenly stopping by beautiful landscapes to take LOOOTS of pictures. And the soundtrack is just fit and pleasant to hear during combats and key scenes and even world exploring and discovering. The combat starts kinda simple, but as soon as you advance and get new Postures and new items it becomes harder and needs more and more skills, the enemies get stronger along you too, and I love how the game keeps adding skills and items to the gameplay until the very end and how these skills and items actually fit the plot.

    The plot is a 10/10 there's no unlogical decisions, no high schooler morals, no cringy stuff, just how a samurai breaks his code to protect his ppl in the most effective way saving the most posible lives despite the fact of losing his "honor" and his place as a Samurai.

    SP did it big this time, cuz we all know they got some of the most underrated yet amazing games (a.k.a. inFamous series), but Ghost Of Tsushima won't be ever underrated that im sure!

    There is only one flaw only — the content is not diverse and complexing enough to be a great open world game. But the immersive art design and fascinating combat machanics definitely make it one of the greatest history-action game ever made.

    I love this game. The graphics are amazing, and scenery is like a moving painting. The combat is fun and satisfying. It allows creativity in approaching each battle. The exploration is very rewarding, and I find myself wanting to clear out all the Mongol camps and visit all the secret locations.

    The story, while a Japanese feudal period archetype, is presented well, and keeps the players' interest. The characters also allows the players to be invested in them.

    Sucker Punch delivers an amazing 13th century Japan, and one can tell they have great respect for Japanese culture and samurai cinema. The dev also respects the player and the player's time. No unnecessary animations for each item pickup. Loading times are ridiculously short (~5 seconds). Guiding wind and other fox/bird companions are done very creatively, and results in an immersive world.

    Highest recommendation for the game! Now, time for me to go write some haiku...

    Sucker Punch has absolutely out done themselves. It's not unfair to call Ghost of Tsushima one of the best looking games of the generation, or one of the best looking games Sony's ever put out. It's beautiful in ways that are a bit more subtle than the slightly over done anime style of something like FF7R while still being fantastic.

It's beautiful in ways that are a bit more subtle than the slightly over done anime style of something like FF7R while still being fantastic. I really can't say enough nice things about Ghost of Tsushima. It's a lovingly authentic tribute to chanbara cinema in general, and the works of Akira Kurosawa in particular.

    With a very enjoyable combat system backing an excellent series of stories there's a lot of narrative depth in the game that it feels like gaming hasn't approached in awhile. There's a lack of comic relief in the game compared to other games in it's genre and weight class, but it's absence isn't felt thanks to the down time provided by the many other activities in the game. Going from furious and tense battles against the invading Mongol army or against bandits or wandering ronin, to doing something a bit more peaceful such as composing a haiku, following a fox to a hidden shrine, or just traversing the lovingly crafted world that Sucker Punch has provided is relaxing in a way that I haven't felt since Breath of the Wild, which also very effectively used down time to relax the player.

    With emotional, deeply personal writing, intelligent, insightful characters and some rather solid moral questions to ask both it's protagonist and you the player, it's no surprise that the game was an actual tear jerker at times. That's quality emotional impact right there.

    I don't think it's unfair to say there's something for everyone in Ghost and I have any complaints it's that it doesn't stick around long enough. Here's hoping there's some Witcher 3 style expansion packs. With this game as a crowning gem on the twilight of this generation, I'm very interested to see what the dawn brings (beyond Cyberpunk 2077).

Just a phenomenal game. If you look at the features of the game on paper, it sounds very similar to other open world games, but everything here is just better. It is incredible for a game of this length to manage to keep reaching new levels of cool on a regular basis as the bloody story of revenge plays out and the Ghost unlocks more and more terrifying abilities. Speaking of which, the ability to terrify your enemies during combat is pure joy. I make each death as spectacularly gory as possible just so I can delight in the sight of another Mongol giving out a frightened yelp, throwing down his weapons, and sprinting away full speed into the hills of Tsushima. I love how throughout 90% of the game, there wasn't a single HUD element on-screen, and I rarely got lost. The guiding wind system that blows gusts of wind in the direction of your objective is a stroke of genius. The magical birds and foxes that guide you to collectibles and shrines are delightful. Exploring a world hasn't been this satisfying since Breath of the Wild. I spent hours walking slowly through the mountains of Japan to find secluded hot springs where I could reflect on my journey, or a perch where I could compose a sorrowful haiku. This is a game made with love and you feel that playing it. Expand

Now the game isn’t perfect the combat felt a little clunky at times and the use of the R2 button to switch stances sometimes made my character jump or dodge side to side cause I’m assuming I’m pressing everything to fast. My only big problem the side mission and most of the activities got repetitive towards the middle of the game. But there were a few gems of smaller missions tho. With that being said tho everything else is amazing. The main story, the characters and seeing how Jin transforms through out the game was amazing to see. And visually this game is something else. I could literally just find a nice spot just to soak up the amazing graphics and art direction. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I played a game so beautiful and it’s all so detailed, closet game I can think of is RD2 but something about GoS art direction gives it a slight edge. The game does start off slow but once it’s running it doesn’t stop and lets you free to however you want to play. By the end you feel like a samurai/ninja. Highly recommend it to any PS4 players.

Perhaps best of all - it brilliantly tells a story that is nuanced, culturally appropriate, respectful, and engaging. I love seeing newer media storytelling not stereotype or impose a western framework of character and culture into a foreign land. They nailed giving a feeling of authenticity. For me, the core relationships in this game are extremely memorable which I’ll remember fondly and motivations felt truthful. The combat in this game is so good and has some of the most badass moments in recent gaming. I really enjoyed side quests and all battles, sieges, and duels. Lastly, this game fully utilizes the open world format and its beautiful atmosphere, and landscapes encourage exploration more than any game I’ve played. The disappearing UI design should become a new standard for exploration-based open world games. It was easy to just ride your horse and continuously discover new things throughout the world. Highly recommend! Here’s to more!

    I have not enjoyed an open world this much since red dead 2, it is filled with cool stuff to do, there are different types of side missions. First is your average side mission where you have to kill a guy or save someone, then there are mythic tales (this is where it gets interesting) in these missions you hunt down myths all over the island, very well written and interesting. There are also character tales, you will encounter some characters throughout the story and you can help them in their own troubles outside of the main story, while not as good as mythic stale, still some solid side missions

    The combat is the best thing about it, it is very satisfying and challenging. You never get tired of the combat in this game

    The story, while some found it generic, I found it very good and it can get you emotional at times, it is not some masterpiece but it is a story told very well

    Stealth, I do not usually use stealth in games (not a big fan) it is basic stealth but I enjoyed it

    The soundtrack sounds like something out of God of War, it is amazing

    The load times are insanely fast

    I have a problem with the camera, things get really frustrating at time when you are fighting an enemy and the camera is stuck behind a wall and I also have a problem with unskippable cutscenes and I hope they will bring a New game plus soon

    Overall, 9.5/10 amazing game

The combat system is beautiful and rewarding. The exploration is exciting and breathtaking. However the story is its only drawback in my opinion. As someone who is steeped in japanese historical text, movies and the like, the overexaggerated sense of what was "honorable" was annoying at best. As someone who has spent countless hours scouring old historical sites and other direct sources of information this tended to get quite tiring as I played. I was also under the false impression that the style you chose to play the game (samurai or "ghost"), would alter the course of the story events. This however is not that case which was sad but my fault for having that built up in my mind. A pretense created by the marketing of the game.

    Those small and personal issues aside, I enjoyed my time with this game immensely and and now enjoying the INCREDIBLE free Legends DLC which has blown my mind. Honestly the game could have just been this and it would have been amazing in my mind! I so desperately hope for more games in the future adding possibly weapons as well.

    Thank you Sucker Punch!

    The play station exclusive we’ve been waiting for! The game is stunningly beautiful, very well rewarded exploration, deep and very fun combat that offers many options and never gets old. AI is ver bad though, can sometimes make stealth not fun. The story offers many cool memorable moments but also suffers of bad writing sometimes, it’s a decent-good story overall. Great game!

    One of the greatest games of all time, in the top ten list for me. Beautifully crafted, endless adventure, never a dull moment. Best purchase I’ve made towards a video game in a long while. Comparable to Zelda Breath of the Wild, Jedi Fallen Order (Parry Combat) and RDR2. I’m hoping they will keep updating the game With larger maps, more quests and further expansion for years to come!

Let me just state that I'm naturally quite wary of games that have either full or near universal acclaim, especially because such a score (given by """"professional reviewers"""") is almost always inaccurate and/or shady. However, once again, this is one of the rare moments when 10/10 is perfectly justifiable. This game oozes soul and feels more like a labour of love than a commercial product. The art direction is excellent, the story is fun, and obviously there is a lot of eye candy as far as graphics goes. But the highlight for me is the gameplay and the open world environment that truly makes you feel like you're living in an Akira Kurosawa movie. This game is most definitely one of the best 2020 releases by far. Expand

    GoT does all the little things right and I’ve been waiting for a game like this, something I’m not able to just put down. People often compare GoT to the Assassin’s Creed Series, and while it does bear some resemblance (to the earlier releases), it does AC better with its pacing and storytelling. This isn’t a perfect game but it does come close just short of a few points.

    What went
    GoT does all the little things right and I’ve been waiting for a game like this, something I’m not able to just put down. People often compare GoT to the Assassin’s Creed Series, and while it does bear some resemblance (to the earlier releases), it does AC better with its pacing and storytelling. This isn’t a perfect game but it does come close just short of a few points.

    What went right:
    Pacing and storytelling. The game divides the island of Tsushima into 3 parts where you will progressively unlock as you dive deeper into the game, Instead of throwing you into a vast open world, as compared to AC odyssey/ origins. This prevents the game from being too overwhelming and I didn’t felt lost about what to do next at all times. Majority of the side quests aren’t cookie cutter “fetch” quest but “tales” of key NPCs’ backstories. I find this way of “questing” really engaging and makes us fall in love with each of the characters even more, it truly gave me a deep sense of purpose to sidetrack and see how their side story unfolds.

    Gameplay
    Instead of the meaningless & shallow loot gear system in AC, SP made the point for you to stick with the same gear since day 1 and upgrade them as you progress through the game. It was extremely rewarding to see all of my gear fully upgraded and I really felt that Jin was getting stronger, though more like the terminator than a samurai when he was fully decked out. All of the gameplay mechanics aren’t revolutionary, but it was refined and I absolutely loved the lack of an HUD, GPS lines, map markers on your screen because i was truly immersed in 1274 Japan.

    Combat:
    Combat was satisfying, each stab and slash was weighty and you could really feel that impact. You have a wide range of gadgets & weapons at your disposal and no 2 combat scenarios are the same if you truly explore all of Jin’s Arsenal.
    Audio & soundtrack
    I played the game in Japanese voice over, voice acting was superb and the soundtrack was just brilliant. You could really feel Jin’s blade slicing and dicing through the thick armor of the Mongols.
    Graphics
    The graphics was so beautiful SP even gave you a screenshot button on your D-pad to capture stunning images in game. Absolutely stunning visuals even on such old hardware, especially the foliage, grass and scenery. Water physics was a little low end but I understand there are limitations of the PS4.

    Loading time
    Game loads as if I’m using an SSD, but it’s still the same HDD in my PS4 since day 1 5 years ago.
    What could have gone better
    Facial animation at times was abit stiff and using the Jap voice over means that the facial animation will never be in sync (as it was animated to English). Some animations were also abit buggy, it wasn’t game breaking but definitely noticeable. Such as stealth kills, mountain scaling and combat. Sometimes dead enemies will pass through walls.

    The standoff Mechanic is extremely O.P. once you get the hang of it and upgraded it. I felt that it should be an RNG thing instead where sometimes the Mongols would just swarm you instead.
    Enemy AI
    It’s 2020 and still stealth Mechanics in games are so easily exploitable. Enemies see their dead friends, walk around for abit and then act as if nothing happened. I tried not to abuse it because it was really funny and ruined the experience for me.

    Gore option I felt that to truly express the savage killings and brutality between the mongols and Japan in ancient times, there should be an option to toggle dismemberment / gruesome scenes.

    Performance
    I can’t really tell if it’s because my PS4 is 5 years old and aging but I do notice the occasional stutters here and there especially when there’s an epic fight going on.

    Overall
    This is one of the best games I’ve played in a long time and I’ve truly enjoyed my time in GoT. It’s not a perfect game but it does come close. The fact that this was so unexpected from Sucker Punch was what made GoT, for me such a stellar and outstanding game of 2020. They have certainly raised the bar in the open world action genre and I will be waiting patiently for the next big title from SP.

    EDIT: Played the DLC... AMAZING work! This kind of effort definitively deserves de 10! PROS: - Graphics are breathtaking. They are not hyper-realistic and DO NOT need to be, to make you feel this world is really alive. Every scene is a piece of art, that "wow's"
    First game I've ever platinum and I still want to continue playing (waiting for the online DLC). Game is simply amazing!

    EDIT: Played the DLC... AMAZING work! This kind of effort definitively deserves de 10!

    PROS:
    - Graphics are breathtaking. They are not hyper-realistic and DO NOT need to be, to make you feel this world is really alive. Every scene is a piece of art, that "wow's" you at every turn.
    - Gameplay has the right balance between Complexity and Fun (that's what we're all looking for, right?)
    - Story is great and get's you hooked right away! It does have it's flaws, where I felt it became a bit slow... but never boring.
    - You can tell that Sucker Punch really left their blood, sweat and tears, into making this baby.

    CONS:
    - I wish the headbands, hats and masks had some effect on my stats. There are A LOT of them in the game and it's really fun to collect them all, but at the end they are just for aesthetics.
    - Side-quests are good (some even great), but for the most part, they're forgettable and lack that "witcher-level" of quality.
    - For me, the last 3rd of the game seemed weak and slow paced, compared to the rest of the game. It even was the only time the game had bugs and strange things going on, but nothing that held me from progressing in the story.

A história pode ser considerada rasa por alguns, mas se você prestar a atenção nas cenas e missões, verá que a exploração da cultura oriental japonesa foi muito bem apresentada, nos proporcionando uma gigantesca imersão. A evolução da mentalidade e dos atos do Jin ao longo da história também são um forte, pois nos mostra até onde os limites humanos chegam em um estado de guerra e crueldade. Outra coisa fundamental para o aprofundamento na cultura e na história de Tsushima são as missões secundárias e exploração do mapa, que acabam nos designando à incríveis diálogos e interações que nos mostram um pouco mais das origens e rotina do povo local. Entre essas descobertas podemos ver desde a história das guerras e conflitos da ilha, até a formação de vilas e clãs samurai desde o início.
    Falando da jogabilidade, muitas pessoas relataram frequentes bugs, porém eu em 39 horas de jogo, não cheguei a presenciar nem se quer um único bug. Sobre o combate, digo que está sensacional. A imersão das posturas e movimentos é muito boa, e a dificuldade é perfeita para uma gameplay equilibrada. Joguei o jogo no hard (maior dificuldade) e achei bem desafiador e divertido. A variedade de armas, equipamentos e ataques também é um ponto alto, nos oferecndo gameplays incríveis de diferentes estilos, seja "rushando" ou se esgueirando pelas sombras.
    A dublagem e efeitos sonoros como a própria trilha sonora musical, estão sensacionais em todos os idiomas, aumentando ainda mais a imersão. Os sentimentos estão muito bem definidos pelas músicas e pelo ambiente, o que acaba te fazendo se sentir no lugar do Jin até nos momentos mais tristes (ou felizes).
    O Jogo também é repleto de atividades e colecionáveis para explorar e coletar após o término da história principal, logo, é um prato cheio para quem procura um jogo bem completo e que te dê uma experiência longa para passar o tempo.

    A cultura de Tsushima e as suas histórias mais sombrias durante a invasão de Khan e seu império mongol te esperam nessa aventura tão imersiva e viciante. Tome o lugar de Jin, o último samurai do clã Sakai, que terá de honrar o seu clã e lutar para libertar a sua casa dos invasores. Enfrente difíceis decisões e obstáculos para chegar até o Khan e ter a sua libertação; mas não será fácil, já que ele utilizará da fraqueza econômica e política da ilha para se unir a ladrões e conquistar Tsushima, formando uma milícia perigosa e imbatível (ou quase).

    Te vejo na luta por Tsushima, guerreiro(a)!

    I can't remember the last time I had so much fun playing a game. I've waited and waited for a game like this, set in feudal Japan that isn't mystical, isn't ridiculous like Sekiro and just focuses on great story telling, beautiful graphics and wickedly fun combat.

    I'm only halfway through (I think) but I'm afraid to finish it because I never want to stop playing it. There better be a Ghost of Tsushima TWO being planned... since I feel like there won't be any DLC.

    Gameplay, sound, graphics except for character models, are all top. The battle system seems simple, but it's still difficult to master (consistently). You can make it hard for you and restrict yourself to core moves, or (if you so desire) make it easy and unlock most trees.

    The side-quests are awesome; they're not copy-paste, and even if they are simple, are very rewarding in how they help "recover" the island from the invaders.

    The only downside, which made me really think between 9 and 10, is the character models. They seem "aged" compared to the rest of the graphics (which is really awesome), but the ultra-fast load times made me ignore than, in the end.

    So, 9 or 10? No game, or only very few, are really a 10, but looking at what I've played in the last 6-9 months, this is definitely the top, so it gets a 10 from me. 9.5 would be my actual rating, but one can't rate that, so… 10 :)

    Play and enjoy!

The setting and story were fresh, not all but some of the game play mechanics have been done many times before.

    Pros: Cinematic movie feel, great visuals and art direction, fluid and varied combat, very fast loading times.

    Cons: Questionable enemy AI at times, repetitive world activities, no true puzzles or mini-games.

    A solid 8/10 for me.

    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.
