    Open world abbastanza classico, con uno stile grafico molto ispirato con paesaggi davvero d'impatto.
    Gameplay e sistema di combattimento molto valido, vario e tecnico, pieno di approcci e soluzioni diverse.
    Trama molto lineare, forse anche troppo.
    Longevo e con un livello di difficoltà ben calibrato.
    Non un capolavoro, ma un titolo solidissimo.

    Um jogo de história mediana, um visual muito atrativo e bons gráficos, porém mesmo para um jogo de mundo aberto poderiam ser melhores.
    Sua força está na jogabilidade, o combate te prende cada vez mais conforme o personagem e a história vão evoluindo.

The combat is fantastic slicing Mongol soldiers with my sword was the closest a game has made me feel like a samurai. The story is phenomenal Jin sakai is one of my favorite characters in gaming His decision to become the ghost was an extremely powerful moment and the final showdown between him and lord shimura is one of my favorite moments in gaming period as just two warriors walking along different paths.

    Unbelievable! This is one of the best games I've ever played. There's not much wrong about this. I always say a game should be rated as a game first and this is just a joy to play. There's a story along with this as well and it is fascinating but to be honest the gameplay outshines the story by a distance here.

    When it comes to the combat it takes a while to get your eye in. Its all about timing. If your off by a millisecond your getting sliced in half. But when you get your timing right it is so satisfying to succeed. I love it. And playing in this beautiful world is a joy to behold. The colours, the sound are just perfect.

    Lets consider this game as a send off to the PS4. It has been a great console that has provided great games such as Uncharted, Spiderman and now Ghost of Tsushima. I hope this is a series in the making cause I'm giving this a TEN. It is really that good. This is some serious polish.    … Expand

    Its one of the best games of all times, this is what happens when a dev pours their all into a game. Its by far the most cinematic and visually striking art design in all of gaming. The polish is unparalleled, everything feels, looks and plays so well and with attention to detail beyond what the industry showcases in current day and age.

    It leads you into unbeatable bosses not telling you that it's unbeatable. I hate it when games do this. It's like someone giving you something and then taking it away after. Gameplay feels like something from PS3. Graphics are -b at best. Combat works alright although parrying is basically pointless as it's high risk and low reward. Just block. Story is quite good but little to short.    … Expand

    Ghost of Tsushima is the one of the final calling cards of the PS4 era. As an open world, 3rd person, action/stealth game, GoT demonstrates that simple innovation mixed with solid plot, excellent voice acting and characters, and a beautifully haunting musical score can carry a game to the heights.

While the story does not take any huge risks, it is no less compelling. Combat is fluid and challenging, and the world is vibrant with many landmarks and secrets to discover. The only major issue at launch was the number of graphical glitches and bugs (jumping into buildings or rocks landed me stuck or falling through the world, very often.)

    Overall, the game succeeds in making you feel the dynamic of the Samurai and the Ghost. Highly recommend.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I got this game on release and played it faithfully for many hours, but then I got kind of bored with it and didn't play again for a couple months. I ended up just getting more wrapped up in other games, which is never a good sign. I wanted to beat the story so I forced myself to sit down and beat the game in its entirety so I finally went ahead and did that.

    Overall, the game has a great atmosphere, satisfying and simple combat system (that has some depth) a beautifully unique art design, and a faithful Japanese spirit throughout. I quite enjoy the fact that you can unlock most everything in the game without microtransactions or DLCs and the storyline itself is quite good although it's nothing absolutely compelling. The ending definitely pulled on my heat strings and that first scene of Jin as the Ghost (when you poison the Mongols) got me fired up. Once you master the combat system, you'll really FEEL like a samurai and that sort of power fantasy in games like this are important. There's a lot to like here, but the game isn't perfect. I think there's WAY too many people on here blindly screaming "10/10 perfect!" because it's not a perfect game by any means, unless maybe you haven't played an open world action RPG in the last 5 years. If you have, a lot of things here are going to look familiar.

    The cons aren't plentiful, but they're impactful. This game's stealth mechanics feels almost exactly identical to Shadow of Mordor/Assassin's Creed Origins/Odyssey. These games are generally criticized for feeling repetitive and having boring side quests and I unfortunately got that feeling from time to time with Tsushima. After I mastered the combat system, and reached a point where I almost never got injured during combat sequences, it was no longer exciting to take down Mongol camps anymore. The first 5 or 10 times? Yeah, it was cool. But you end up doing these things so much that it starts to have that Far Cry 5 affect of endlessly clearing outpost after outpost. Which to be fair, a lot of modern games rely on "outpost liberation" style gameplay, it's nothing bad inherently, but that's my point. If you've played AC Origins, or Shadow of War, or any of these other titles, you're not going to be excited to be doing it here again and again. In fact, once you beat the game and side quests, what does it tell you to do? Clear MORE outposts. After stealth killing a Mongol for the 1000th time, or Heavy Arrowing a guard off a tower for the 1000th time, or getting into a battle with a random group of 5 Mongols and parrying their strikes and murdering them with cold efficiency for the 1000th time, I just felt bored. Does that mean I never had fun? No. But what it means is this game lacks depth. Behind the layer of beautiful mosaic scenery, and epic tales of The Ghost fighting back the Mongol invaders, what we have here is a pretty basic stealth system, and an above average combat system with a largely empty Open World. That's the game.

    Yes the map is big, and it's pretty, and there's lots of side quests and collectibles, but that's actually it. Outside of main quests, you have 5 duels, a bunch of fetch quests, a bunch of "Go to this abandoned fishing village and kill these 6 bandits that stand zero chance against you", and about 1000 different collectibles thrown all over the places. While the hot springs, and bamboo strikes are pretty cool, there's nothing else to immerse you in the world. You can't share sake with a friend, or go to a tavern, or play any minigames like Go or Shogi, you can't really INTERACT with anybody outside of the main quests. There's no blade maintenance, no caring for your horse, building relationships, making decisions, etc. Beneath the layers of story telling and visuals, this game is essentially played on rails but it tricks you into thinking it's not. What agency and choice do you really have here? Whether you'll knock out a few side quests before continuing the main quest, or not. That's it. This game, very easily, could have been more linear like The Last of Us 2 and it probably would have been better for it. I guess that's more of a problem with the gaming industry than this game specifically. Studios seem to think everything has to be some massive open world setting, but a lot of times that setting can drag a game down rather than lift it up. I think it dragged Ghost of Tsushima down. Constantly riding through endless empty fields really messes with the pacing and by the final stretch of this game, it felt like I was trudging through the mud just trying to finish the story.    … Expand

    TL;DR This game is rough around the edges with its story and bloated world but the combat, art design and music make this game special.

    I wish i liked this game more. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of quality to be found here and i think this game deserves a lot of the praise it gets but i can't help but feel like it didn't quite match the mountain of expectations i had for it.

    As far as the art design is concerned, it is gorgeous. Perhaps the most beautiful AAA open world game i have ever experienced and one of the best looking games period. The environments are so vibrant, so full of colour and so full of movement/life. It is so nice to often take a moment to just walk the horse through it and take in the atmosphere because they really did nail the look of this game. One thing about the graphics that i can't however praise is the facial animations. I have been spoiled lately when it comes to the quality of facial animations and this game just doesn't do them well enough. There are plenty of close-ups and i can never truly decipher character emotions looking at their facial expressions because the tech is not good enough. Otherwise, i like the way the game looks. I like the very minimal HUD, the use of wind for guidance and the emphasis on looking around to get by without relying on the map.

    Unfortunately, i wasn't a big fan of the open world. It was immensely beautiful but i'd argue it was too large and the activities meant to fill it were both too repetitive and too inconsistent in quality. I think there were too many side quests and a lot them kinda just blended together in my mind. Some were great but i think their writing generally wasn't memorable. I just never got the feeling that my encounters with NPCs was ever unique or special. By the time i had finished the main story, there were still plenty of side quests i hadn't finished or even touched. A lot of the other side content was lacklustre too apart from the Bamboo Strikes which i actively looked for at every oppurtunity.

    The story was good enough. It deals with a lot of interesting and relatable topics but it's never anything you haven't seen in some capacity elsewhere. I will admit, it does have some excellent moments; one in particular culminating in my favourite fight of the game but i think the excellence of this story shines through too seldomly. The characters are mostly quite likeable with one being a clear standout. Head and shoulders above the rest.

    But what this game really does well and what kept me playing was its gameplay. It's so good. Basically, it makes you feel dangerous and often, when the music is on full blast, it makes you feel heroic. It taps into that Samurai power fantasy so well and when playing it on Hard or Lethal difficulty, keeping up with the pace the game sets that difficulty, well, there's nothing else like it. And my word, the one on one duels in this game! Some of them are truly incredible. It is annoying how enemies on Lethal difficulty can one shot you in a duel but i think its worth it for the sheer pace and the frantic feeling of a back and forth dance of steel between deadly blades. It's a very good thing that Sucker Punch decided to make the duels replayable. I never played much of the stealth because the combat was so good.

    Edit: Most of this review was written on 6 March but since I’ve had more time, I thought I’d add some more thoughts on this. I like it more than I thought I did when I wrote this review. I didn’t mention it earlier but one of the missions in this game actually made me geek out in a way I haven’t done in years. I’m talking an all time great gaming moment and I think the soundtrack is incredibly underrated. The soundtrack, particularly the battle theme, supplements the combat and helps create that feeling of invincibility. I actually love this game.    … Expand

    Worth the Money!

    Spent 73 hours in the game and its honestly an amazing game with notes. There are some annoying and frustrating experience that I have with this game: 1. Story = Not appealing. It's just not clear as the story seems way too heavy on the role of Shimura instead of focus on Jin as a character. I know we play as Jin and watch him grow but all of them is driven by the    Worth the Money!

    Spent 73 hours in the game and its honestly an amazing game with notes. There are some annoying and frustrating experience that I have with this game:

    1. Story = Not appealing. It's just not clear as the story seems way too heavy on the role of Shimura instead of focus on Jin as a character. I know we play as Jin and watch him grow but all of them is driven by the urge to save his uncle and again to help his uncle retrieve Tsushima. I'm more into Masako and Ishikawa Tales to be honest.

    2. Combat = WEAK but FUN. The enemy is only around 9-10 types of mongols so you will only find 9-10 different move sets from the mongols. Bosses? They have the same pattern besides their different move-set. After you parry them, you can strike them twice. If you tried to strike them for the 3rd time, they will dodge and sometime counter. Conclusion: EASY even I played it on Lethal difficulty. Parry mechanic is great although it doesn't make any sense as you can defend enemies attack even thou you are backing them but I think that's the part that makes it fun.

    3. Platforming = BAD. You need to run to descend the ladder? And you need to jump to use the ladder? It's a joke. The crawl under also seems buggy as sometimes I'm trapped but the funny thing is if I crawl backward, I can get out with no problem, a complete joke for real. Camera can affect how far you jump from one rock to another so I find it hard going around the shrines with that kind of platforming. Luckily, the grappling hook is fabulous.

    4. Side Mission = REPETITIVE. You talk, trail, observe, ambush/ fight head to head, Done. That all you got for the Side Missions with so many of them in the game. Luckily, the Mythic Tales is a great type of side missions as they are quite variative.

    Other than that, this game has so many positive traits that makes me keep coming back to play it. As you can see, I spent 73 hours on it as I drop all my game to focus on GoT for 2 weeks.

    I think this game will be well received if you like stealth (great IMO), open-world (exploration is rewarding), and of course Japan in general.

    Don't buy this game if you think it can give you the challenge like Sekiro as its not hard at all even on the highest difficulty. Story is just decent but if you completely critical in terms of story, I don't think Ghost of Tsushima deliver a rich story.    … Expand

    2. I felt that the story and gameplay disagreed on a couple occasions. As a player, I decided to play a certain way because of the story, but my choice was not reflected in the cutscenes. This sucked almost all emotional impact from the ending events. The second half of the story is far less compelling than the first.

    It's a solid game. The combat is fun, the art style and voice acting are amazing, exploration is fun, the story is pretty good and it's presented very well. It could perhaps use a some more unique quests every now and then, but by no means are the quests bad. It's a great first entry into the franchise and I'm looking forward to an inevitable sequel.

    I still remember my first time playing Infamous:second son by Sucker Punch and it ended up being a complete disappointment with me deleting the game after 2 hours.
    And then 2020 happens. My YouTube feed has been filled up with multitude of positive video-reviews about Ghost of Tsushima by the same studio, but I tried to keep myself aside from it. However in 2022 they got me into eventually buying the game with 50% sale and... It's disappointing.
    Ghost of Tsushima is the open-world game in best traditions of Sony exclusives. Moreover, it's a very basic one - it has completely nothing new to offer, which isn't a sin by itself. But what definitely is a sin is creating such a low-effort world to explore. After getting a platinum in 40 hours I can assure, that 80% of side quests follow the same scheme: talk to npc, follow npc, explore the area, follow the tracks, cut the mongols, talk to npc, clear. I'm not even joking - the core gameplay consists of watching the cutscenes and redeeming the camp, point. It may be fun at first, but gets old quite soon.
    The main storyline isn't really worth it as well: it's a very lazy rip-off from Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai and Yojimbo, which is covered with plot armor. It's short (about 12 hours) and uninspired. If it was made into movie, no-one of you would've watched it.
    The fighting system is much alike to the one of Nioh's with a plot twist: it's all about crowd-fights, which are constantly either too easy or too hard depending on if you grind the open-world or not. I used to suck at first due to lack of equipment, but after collecting collectibles it turned into kindergarden.
    The graphics, art direction and performance are s-tier. The game runs perfectly on ps4 pro and looks absolutely gorgeous. The medieval Japan provides a wide landscape for photo mode, if you really care for taking some pictures. However there's almost nothing aside from little villages(in which houses are very obviously copy-pasted), fields and parodies of hills.
    Music sound very harmonic and atmospheric, so nothing to complain about.
    Minor props: absence of interface and wind navigation
    Minor cons: inability to skip cutscenes
    For the conclusion, I'd say that it's one of the most boring games I've played for last couple of years. I bet I wouldn't have made it to the end if I hadn't payed 30 euro for it.    … Expand

    My actual rating for Ghost of Tsushima is more accurately a 9.8. My 1 and ONLY issue with this game is that they should have portrayed Samurai primarily using long pole arms to fight wars and only use katanas as a last resort. Aside from that, this game is damn near a masterpiece.

The world itself is an accurate representation of the Japanese island of Tsushima, and you can tell Sucker Punch put their hearts and souls into recreating the island and its people as authentically and accurately as possible. The world-design itself isn’t special, some would even call it akin to “Ubisoft Formula”, but it gets hidden under the interesting and in-depth story, dynamic and purely satisfying combat, and the sheer beauty of the world. Apart from being gorgeous, you’re bound to find exploration and questing less of a chore and more of a reward than anything else, and sometimes you might find yourself purposely looking for enemies just to engage in the nearly flawless and extremely cinematic combat and gameplay. There’s also an online component, called Legends, that’ll have you competing in non-direct pvp against AI, or co-operative survival waves. These are fun but might get boring after many matches, and the lack of customization in this mode (compared to the main game that boasts a larger variety) is slightly disappointing for an online mode, but nonetheless I think the majority of players will find the mode meeting or exceeding their expectations. Sucker Punch have outdone themselves with this game, and I would be more than glad to see a sequel in the future. Easily would recommend!… Expand

The story explores the concept of “Honor” something very important to Japanese society and culture.

    (10) Outstanding. A truly elite title that is nearly perfect in every way. This score is given out rarely and indicates a game that cannot be missed.

    I’m surprised Sucker Punch was able to write this good of a story since the infamous series seemed to have a mediocre story. The main character struggles with maintaining his traditions or to do what is necessary to save his country from being taking over. The only thing I wish the developer could have done different is to allow you to choose which of those two paths to take instead of forcing you into one path but I admit that would be difficult to write out both ways. The route they take you on will help you decide on your own morals. The combat was also well done in this game, providing a challenge for those that want one. Sucker Punch made this one innovation that every game should follow suit on which is how they guide you through the world. They don’t give you a giant arrow to show you the way. They let you follow the wind. Follow that bird or fox that you found in the game. I’m surprised it took this long for someone to think of this idea. It’s so simply.    … Expand

Ghost of Tsushima is an open-world game that incorporates Samurai and ninja-based combat. You can either face enemies head on as an honorable Samurai, or assasinate them from the shadows as "The Ghost." Join Jin Sakai as he brandishes his katana against the Mongol invaders. Not to mention, their cunning, yet ruthless leader, Khotun Khan. Although the game excels in it's beautiful single-player campaign and excellent gameplay, there are definitely some areas left to be desired. Specifically, it's side missions and collectibles, it's side characters, and it's enemy AI, made me feel as if I was being dragged through hours of gameplay. The story itself has it's moments, but the idea of an open world filled with uninteresting side missions and collectibles made the game feel more like a chore than an addictive experience.

    Aside from the main characters like Yuna, Khotun Khan, and Jin Sakai himself, the rest of the gang - which you'll meet as you play the game - can have missions and dialogue that's hovers between dull or worth listening. And with the number of individual side missions, the enjoyment you spend completing them will depend on your interest in the characters themselves, and the dialogue they offer.

    Combat and gameplay is really good. Instead of swinging your katana in successive X buttons, the game offers a variety of ways to slaughter and kill your Mongol enemies. As you progress through the game, you'll gain "legend points" which will go towards unlocking Jin's Samurai and Ghost skills. You'll get to use a variety of Samurai "stances" which are effective against specific enemy types. There's an extensive list of ninja tools to poison, pierce, blow up, and distract enemy npcs. And with the inclusion of "two" types of bows (Yes two), you can shoot enemies up close and quick, or penetrate their helmet's from a distance. The only problem is, enemy AI during ghost mode is simplistic and predictable. Unlike the ingenious NPC AI from The Last of Us 2, Mongol enemies in Ghost of Tsushima are simply routine in nature; routine patrols, routing searches, and routine alarms when you get caught. Even worse, Jin only does like 3-4 types of animations when killing in stealth mode. Apart from health, Jin can execute specialized Samurai techniques by spending "resolve points" which are replenished during combat or through successful assassinations.

    Aside from the lengthy side missions, the collectibles, Mongol camp liberations, and many others, is where the game starts to feel like Assassins Creed objectives; tedious, tiring, and time-wasting. Ghost of Tsushima contains a very hefty amount of content - weeks worth of gameplay. And as a player, you don't wanna spend that time collecting useless stuff and listen to uninteresting dialogue. Besides the main mission, you'll be dragging yourself across Tsushima completing objectives you don't really enjoy, or collecting artifacts you don't really need.

    Your armor, bow, and sword can be upgraded and customized by collecting resources you find across Tsushima. By collecting the necessary materials, you can improve a weapon's stats or change your Samurai armor's color. Bombs, ninja tools, and others can also be improved by via your "legend points" or upgrade their capacity through animal hides.

    I wouldn't necessarily call Ghost of Tsushima a masterpiece just yet. And I don't believe the 9/10 or 10/10 hype that players give it credit for - fits the hours of gameplay I've expended on it. It's yet to sit alongside God of War or Red Dead Redemption 2 on the tier list. If I could score this as a 7.5, I believe it strongly deserves it. But it's yet to prove itself as an 8. It's a flawed game with excellent gameplay and a heartfelt story. If you want to experience what it's like to play as an authentic Samurai or a stealthy ninja, this game is dedicated for you. If you're interested in an open-world game that explores Japanese culture in all it's authenticity and glory, this game is dedicated for you. If you want to know what it's like to choose between honor and home, then you'll fight alongside Jin Sakai as a warrior of Tsushima. And no amount of bland side missions, chore-like collectibles, and faulty enemy AIs will stop you from experiencing that.    … Expand

    Insane how some people think any modern Assassins Creed game is better than this. Y’all don’t respect yourselves. I won’t even elaborate, it’s simply an amazing game, just not a masterpiece. I’ve grown very critical about many games recently and have stricter standards, but this one? This is it chief. Playing the PS5 version is a wonderful experience. Definitely a must play.

The only negative to this game is the character Jin is not that interesting. I never really connected with his struggle and I don't think his character or other characters were special. They were definitely fine and did not take away from the game, but they did not push the story to the next level like the characters in TLOU2, Uncharted 4, or God of War did.… Expand

    Finish the main story of the game and completed everything but the DLC. I did enjoy the games but it does have problems. No need to go into details but will recommend the game to anyone that loves action adventure games.

    Probabilmente il miglior open world stile Ubisoft sul mercato. Hanno preso tutti i lati positivi, li hanno messi insieme, e hanno migliorato tutto e risolto molti problemi. A dir poco fantastico anche a livello artistico e molto buono a livello tecnico. A mio avviso, uno dei sistemi di combattimento migliore sul mercato

L'aventure vidéo-ludique accroît l'expérience via l'exploration des tenues legendaires, les mythes et légendes ainsinque les traditions Shintoisme. C'est une expérience de simulation vidéo-ludique très avancée. Permettant ainsi de conceptuer l'aspect traditionnel physique et psychologique. La psyché du personnage est tout autant captivante ainsi, l'apprentissage du contexte et des lieux nous fait vivrent une gamme d'émotions. Du réconfort aux larmes , par intérêt traditionnel, certains choix marquera votre esprit.

    Le DLC qui figure l'une des plus mystique aventure à la rencontre du soi dans l'immersion du protangoniste aura pour but d'éveiller la conscience et avoir un regard different entre le début de l'aventure et la maturité qui dégagera de l'expérience manette en main.

    Un graphisme époustouflant, sensations en mains, ce titre entre dans l'une des meillee.rs expériences vidéo-ludique jamais conçue. L'expérience multijoueurs est une autre catégorie a part. Avec une mécanique, un suspense et une histoire aussi ien écrite que réalisée, vous serez dans la peau de grands samouraïs Oeuvrant dans le mysticisme pure. C'est à la fois une suite et un prémisse de l'histoire principale. Et où s'offre une expérience enrichissante et vertigineuse.

    Ghost of Tsushima es uno de los mejores juegos de la década, su increíble arte y originalidad lo separa de muchos videojuegos del mismo genero. El gameplay es fabuloso y es un juego tremendamente disfrutable. La única pega que tengo es el online, (que podría ser mucho mejor) y las misiones secundarias, que me parecen poco trabajadas en general

    I’m convinced people have absolutely no idea what makes a game good. As time goes on, younger generations don’t appreciate anything. If they can’t watch a 20-hour cutscene and they have to actually think at all, then they hate the game.

    Ghost of Tsushima should have a 93 Metacritic, not an 83. It’s a beautiful game with a compelling story, good characters, responsive combat, great character development and an beautiful world to traverse. It is set in the 13th century, so I’m not sure what people think they will find in the world. And as long as we are trying to say the world and locations in this game are boring, then I can say the same thing about Elden Ring. I’m literally dumbfounded at the 83 Metacritic. I’m not, however, surprised at the low user scores. Afterall, people are idiots…    … Expand

    Pre-ordered it. The story is good! The graphics look really great on PS5. Gameplay is fantastic. It does resemble Ubisoft's AC series, but smarter.

    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.
