    I've been waiting 27 years for someone to do a Samurai game done right and Sucker Punch did it. Game blew my mind and far EXCEEDED all my expectations. You won't regret buying this game 10 times over. I loved every second of it and I'm still loving every second of it. I was like 20 hours in and only did 2 main quests xD

    Loved this game! Waited for a good samurai game a really long time. Though it is historically incorrect in all the ways you can imagine, it is still an artful masterpiece. Visuals, music, gameplay, story.

Though it is historically incorrect in all the ways you can imagine, it is still an artful masterpiece. Visuals, music, gameplay, story.
    - Visuals and music are setting the mood here. Hyperbolic romanticisation of the beautiful Japanese landscapes. One scenery may contain multiple seasons: such as spring white sakura petals blended with autumn red and orange fallen leaves. But this is just so much fun to look at, especially with the impressive lighting.
    - Gameplay is interesting, and didn't feel boring at all, it actually made me wanting to take again the controller in my hands and try some new tactics, or to perfect the already existing one's. Wasn't a big fan of the stealth at first, but later on it got more interesting. There are 'flaws' to the so called AI, but these flaws are probably made so that the gameplay wouldn't feel tedious, imho. A lot of people said that this game is assassin's creed in Japan, maybe, but could never finished an ac game before (tried the 1st, 2nd, black flag and the odyssee, but they all were boring, please don't hate me for that) but GoT pulled me totally in (one day I was playing for 14 hours straight, and did't notice that it has already become 4 in the morning)
    - Story is what kept me engaged. The different series of substories made the world look lived in. Especially enjoyed the story of lady Masako. Just wish there was an explanation about the death of Jin's father, wanted to know more of Jin himself. And wished it had branching main story lines in chapter 3 (as there is in Witcher 2 game). I was actually hoping to some extend that the game would let me choose what choice to make at the end of chapter two, but the game made it for myself. Didn't give this game a 10/10 because didn't have that choice. But the story was actually very very interesting, didn't expect that all. I was emotionally moved a couple of times, and had chills running through my spine a couple of times (also during the Masako substory line). Not to complex, interesting, engaging, at times funny and at times really sad (most of times actually sad). But all the characters were quite memorable.
    Now hoping for the next Ghost of OtherJapaneseIsland game :p. There was a second Mongolian attempt to conquer Japan ;). Maybe in some other time period like the Warring States or the Meiji Revolution... Please
    But yeah, go and buy this game. Support games like this. This is a game for the gamer!    … Expand

    Best game I have ever tried for the PS4, fantastic mechanics and crazy settings, indescribable atmosphere and crazy storyline. You see the evolution of a character fought with himself and against his code of honor, but the road that leads to the end will make him a legend, good sucker punch, you have created one of the few titles that have excited me both as graphics that as setting and history

    Ghost of Tsushima was a fantastic game from start to finish.

    No story spoilers but it made me emotional a few times and really excited to see where the story would lead.

    It's definitely something you should play for yourself. By no means is it something I would rate a 9.5 or a 10 due to a few kinks such as the camera during combat situations, or how Jin Sakai can be a bit of a dull character, but It has some pretty good combat with some real challenge and an excellent story.

    Game is your typical open world. Ok story, good combat, and sketchy enemy AI. Its pretty. Its smooth. Its glitchy. At one point my Jin was running around with two broken arms hanging at his side. I have been shot with arrows through the sides of rock mountains. Good, fun game, but needs work.

I don't expect games based on a historic theme to be 100% correct. I expect them to be fun to play. Heck, we had female soldiers in BFV. All good if that adds to your fun. Technically, the game is not perfect when it comes to some animations (eg looting) but again, I don't care. One thing I really noticed - the incredible fast load times for fast travel. 5 seconds at most for me. Not sure how they did that. After putting in 100+hrs into AC:Odyssey, where fast travel times were not that fast, this is one part of GoT I really loved, from a technical PoV. Cannot recommend this game enough!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is Breathtaking. The story is so well paced and it all wraps up together so well. The game made me build relationships with each of the characters through the side character missions which helped pad out the story and character. There is so much greatness in this game, from the story the combat and oh my god the visuals, this has to be the best looking and stylistic PS4 game to date. SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    The ending of the game where you have to fight your uncle was excruciating and the final two choices had me stuck for which felt like hours deciding what fate I should leave him. I regretfully at the time chose To honour my uncles wishes and give him a honourable death, however the emotion in that ending had me choking on my words and in my opinion is the better of the two. The visuals of the game are outstanding with all the particle effects with the fallen leaves let’s you feel fully immersed in this world and is an actual enjoyable open world to adventure with lots of stuff to do. I also found myself just staring off into the distance admiring the visuals and not to forget about that amazing photo mode they have added into the game.
    The combat is a challenging and heart racing experience where the fluidity of the swordplay and different stances and parry moves you can pull off really put me on edge and felt amazing to play. However the camera is a struggle at times where I found myself indoors hoping that the person behind me didn’t attack as I could not see a thing or move my camera fast enough or at a good angle and because there is no lock on, although which I think would of hurt the game, it still made it hard to target the right enemies either way.
    Other than the camera that had me on the ropes 25% of the time this game is an outstanding achievement and I applaud sucker punch and everyone who worked on the game they have done an amazing job and undoubtedly, have created one of my favourite games of all time.

    Thank you to all the devs and everyone involved in making this game. You have made a masterpiece.    … Expand

    However as time goes by enemies get stronger and sometimes you have to use stealth skills in order to complete the mission.
    Jin (You) don't wanna fight these stealth ways because its too easy and unlike Samurai.
    This players struggle, and Jin's struggle are perfectry matched.

    Combat system = the best

    At least this game has best combat system compared to any other openworld game.
    stealth combat is too easy for me but I know its designed easy.
    but the Samurai way of combat is soooooo addictting. you have 4 stances. so variation of combat is a lot.
    and the parry system is sick! You wanna wait thier attack to counter attack them and thats the Samurai way.
    If you play this game, im sure you automatically being Jin.

    ''Wind guides you'' such a beautiful idea.

    O jogo se destaca pela jogabilidade e gráficos incríveis, ele mistura foto realismo com um pouco de estilo artístico nao realistico nas paisagens e arvores/plantas, o que foi legal pois é muito bonito de olhar as paisagens e tirar print.

    Quanto a gameplay, ela me divertiu bem mais do que os últimos AC, achei bem mais desafiadora, apesar de que poucas x morri em baralha e mais em quedas kkk, pq por mais q os inimigos sejam dificeis vc ganha muita vida e determinação (usado para recarregar a vida) muito fácil e rapido, então antes mesmo de entrar na 2 parte do mapa, vc já está OP, ao menos eu q fiz quase tudo antes do final do ato 1.

    Ghost of Tsushima is the perfect sendoff to the PS4 era. SuckerPunch created a game that truly does justice to the japanese setting the game takes place in, all while putting you in the shoes of a conflicted Samurai ready to do everything, including breaking his own code, to save the people and the island that he loves.

SuckerPunch created a game that truly does justice to the japanese setting the game takes place in, all while putting you in the shoes of a conflicted Samurai ready to do everything, including breaking his own code, to save the people and the island that he loves.

    Jin Sakai is yet again another amazing Playstation Icon to add to the roster of amazing exclusive titles that Playstation has to offer. His story while not the most original, is inspired by classic Samurai Tales of old, quite reminiscent of Seven Samurai or even Yojimbo, drawing a clear inspiration from the works of Akira Kurosawa and doing justice to his legacy in videogame form.

    It's a gorgeous game, with amazing combat, breathtaking visuals and a lot of sidequests and exploration to partake in. Side characters, especially those tied to the main story, are all interesting and fleshed out in sometimes in heart wrenching ways. These characters and their backstories are truly worth delving into. Meanwhile quests like Mythic Tales expand the lore in true SuckerPunch fashion, with truly beautiful artistic flare that invokes japanese ink paintings, Sumi-e.

    You will get lost in this world and the game rewards exploration. Finding new cosmetics, hidden secrets and places is well worth it and gives you a satisfying feeling that your wandering paid off. No microtransactions here, everything can be found in-game and it's truly a staple of Playstation games at this point to give everything away within gameplay and not as something you pay extra.

    i could go on and on about why this game is truly a masterpiece deserving of being called the Playstation 4 era's Swan Song, but play it for yourself, get lost in this world and you'll see what everyone is talking about.    … Expand

    First of all, congrats to Sucker Punch! Outstanding job!

    I've been waiting patiently for this game since October 2017, for almost 3 years we've waited and it did not disappoint. It's not a perfect game, but it's surprising how they pulled it off. Everything looks gorgeous, the photo mode is a beast! and the game play gave me 6 days of sleep deprivation.

    Ghost of Tsushima era un juego que me llamaba la atención porque lo vi como el AssCreed Japan que Ubisoft nunca se atrevería a hacer. HOWEVER, Unas 50 horas into the game y esto es mejor que todas las épocas exploradas por AC (I ain't saying AC sucks, I'm saying this is better).

HOWEVER, Unas 50 horas into the game y esto es mejor que todas las épocas exploradas por AC (I ain't saying AC sucks, I'm saying this is better).

    Tienes dos opciones para aproximarte al combate. Balls to the wall melee combat que simula perfectamente un duelo de espadas (it's Samurai Shodown levels of Samurai gameplay) y Ghost Tactics (o sea sigilo, veneno y subterfugio). Sin embargo, you can use both.

    El combate es bastante sencillo, you got your light and heavy attack botons con evasión, evades, blocks, deflects y parries además de un par de armas secundarias para complementar (algo así bien Arkham-Asylum-ish). Es bastante realista, solo necesitas un para de sablazos bien dados para tener una muerte asegurada. It takes a lot of skill llevarse grupos de más de 5 enemigos si decides irte de frente y al choque. Por el otro lado, para los ghost tactics también tienes herramientas sencillas. Bombas de humo, ejecuciones a lo AC, Arco y flecha ara hacer silent takedowns a distancia, campanas y fuegos artificiales para desviar a la atención, un grappling hook for some second story work y escabullirte entre partes clave de las construcciones que encuentras en el juego.

    El approach en la historia varía dependiendo de quién acompañe a Jin. Si estas con Ishikawa-sensei o Shimura-sama usualmente vas de frente (I'll provide context for this later) y si estás con Yuna, Ryuzo o Kenji vas a usar ghost tactics más que otra cosa.

    Es en las secciones de mundo abierto del juego donde realmente tomas el approach que te parece mejor. And boy is there a lot to do en la isla Tsushima sin seguir la historia del juego.

    El balance entre el combate y stealth a lo largo de la historia es bueno. Hay una mecánica bastante prittona: los Stand Off, en los que retas a alguien a un duelo de un solo golpe. No puedo enfatizar lo suficiente la importancia de maxear esa sección del skill tree ASAP.

    Una vez dominas la mecánica del Stand Off y la maxeas puedes acabar con escuadrones enemigos completos simplemente batiéndote a duelo con ellos. Ahora vamos con la historia y los personajes.

    El juego toma lugar en la invasión de los Mongoles a Japón en 1247, Jin (nuestro protagonista) es un noble joven de la isla de Tsushima. Al ser huérfano de padre y madre Jin es quién representa a su clan la batalla de la bahía de Komoda, al lado de su tío Lord Shimura, el Jito (gobernador), de la isla de Tsushima. La batalla termina mal, todos los samurais de la isla de Tsushima son exterminados en la batalla de la Bahía de Komoda salvo Jin, que es rescatado por Yuna (una ladrona) y Lord Shimura que es capturado por Khotun Khan el primo de Kublai y neito de Genghis. Khotun aprendió japónes, estudio la política, tradiciones, costumbres y filosofía de los japoneses para entender su idiosincrasia. Dándole entendimiento de las políticas locales y el estado de la población. Toda la preparación de Khotun da como resultado una lucha desigual en la que los mongoles arrollan a los japoneses como una aplanadora. Jin luego de ser rescatado por Yuna empieza a aprender los beneficios de luchar desde las sombras (algo que va en dirección opuesta del Bushido). Sin embargo, ese apego al código de honor samurai es lo que los ha hecho predecibles a la hora de luchar con Khotun. A lo largo de la historia vemos el dilema de Jin en adoptar esta nueva forma de ver la guerra que es considerada deshonrosa por mentes más tradicionalistas. Pero también está la parte de como los mongoles usan rehenes y esclavos para hacer que las tácticas frontales pierdan su efectividad. Y hay varios flashbacks de Jin aprendiendo kenjutsu y bushido en el que se aprecia esa yuxtaposición entre el código de honor y hacer lo necesario. En el apartado visual, puedo decir con toda certeza que este juego es lo más hermoso que he visto en un PS4. Desde la arquitectura de los templos, la configuración de las aldeas, los paisajes naturales, altares y acantilados a lo largo de la isla. Este es un juego que apesar de haber sido inspirado por películas no vende su identidad tratando de ser una película interactiva. La música es buenísima y los efectos de sonido del viento, lluvia, relámpagos, el galope de los caballos y los cortes de la espada son envolventes. Hay un buen par de bugs y glitches en el juego, pero no restan en nada a la experiencia. Mi score personal para Ghost of Tsushima es un 9/10. Y está en el Valhalla de Obras Maestras de esta generación junto a Witcher 3, Red Redemption 2 y Breath of The Wild.    … Expand

    - The very worst thing about the game is how the camera loves to obstruct your view and they weren't polite enough to make anything blocking your view transparent. That's not hard, so that's a full point off there. All I can say is use the roll button (circle) till you have enough breathing room to move the camera.

    side quests does not feel repetitive at all. each tale, each side quest feels like a mini story of its own. its fun and engaging. It feels like you really are making the island of tsushima liberated with each missions you finished. that is just the side missions. The main missions are epic and truly captivating.

    Gameplay wise, its god sent. The controls are responsive, and being the "Ghost", it really makes you feel like a really bad ass. the massive creativity, the combinations, the animations, everything feels so immersive that you feel like you really are Jin Sakai and you are a real badass.

    the world building, the gameplay, the story, the immersiveness of the game blends perfectly in this one game that really leaves an empty space in your soul once you platinum finished the game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Loved the game! It wasn't super inventive, but games don't always need to be. It did what it needed to tell a story with characters that you could get invested in. Loved the open world and following the wind to get around. I especially liked writing Haikus and the short meditations in the hot springs. Those small moments reminded me that its okay to mentally relax every once in a while and that was very nice and peaceful. It was also really pretty. I never use photo mode, but I kept using it in this game. I'd spend maybe around 30-45 minutes at a time playing around with the settings and getting a shot and it's coloring just right. And sometimes I'd just jump in to capture a fun cool moment. I don't regret a second using that photo mode.

    The story was an okay revenge plot, but with interesting characters and spectacular moments that really made me feel like a badass Samurai. The way the story is structured, the small dialogue choices and how reflective cut scenes would trigger when I did something against the Samurai code made me feel like I had decided Jin's story arc instead of it being a scripted arc. Even though it was scripted.

    I liked a lot of the side quests. However, some of them felt a little wooden and repetitive. With some better actors and writing in those side quests I would have enjoyed seeking them out instead of using them as a way to grind to make my character better. The main side stories were great, but it was the nameless people that you would help that I had trouble with.

    There were some glitches in the game. I would get stuck if I jumped into the wrong object and I couldn't climb up or land on objects like certain rocks, wagons, and animals that I should have been able to stand on. Those were minor issues though.

    I liked the use of music in the game and how Jin can play some.    … Expand

    This might be the best open-world game I have ever played (and I played many...). Even though it is a well known formula, everything somehow feels fresh. The combat is excellent and the main and side missions are interesting. Even the 'busy work' keeps you entertained. For sure sucker punch'sbest work to date.

    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.
