Ghost of Tsushima isn’t perfect, not even close. But neither is Jin Sakai, and his journey from Samurai to Ghost is one worth savouring, and a Legendary Tale all its own.

Ghost of Tsushima is probably the best game about Japan, but the story is too simple and the complex combat system can be tricked by evasive actions that transform it into an easy game.

This is a big, beautiful world to explore, absolutely filled with things to do and see. In a time when our own personal worlds have only gotten smaller, that’s probably more than enough for most players. It’s a game of consistent, small pleasures—at least, until you round a corner, and see something so beautiful you’re forced to just put down the controller and stare for a minute at the rippling effect of wind on grass. There’s a reason we build theme parks, after all.

At the end of the day, Ghost of Tsushima gets enough right and then some to forgive its shortcomings. Fans of samurai, period pieces, and action games will most certainly enjoy all that it has to offer. The only question is will you fight with honour or not?

If you wanted Assassin’s Creed set in feudal Japan, Ghost Of Tsushima will scratch that itch. The aesthetics and atmosphere are so beautiful and striking that it carries and elevates the generic, design-by-committee open-world gameplay.

Ghost of Tsushima falls a bit short. The narrative blocks and storytelling are too straightforward. To add to that, the side-quest bloat seeps the narrative of its pacing

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.

Ghost of Tsushima isn't just the Ultimate Samurai dream coming true, but it's one of the best open world titles of this generation. Combination of Great storytelling, Top Notch Level Design, brilliant Combat design, jaw dropping Graphics and a flawless world, have resulted in a way that none of us could have imagined. Ghost of Tsushima, Sucker Punch's greatest creation, Pinpoints and fixes lots of open world games' Design Errors and does a great job in making a world that we all can get lost and live in. If you want to fulfill the dream of being a samurai, living in one of the greatest video game worlds ever made and experiencing an awesome and heroic/historic redemption tales, go and enjoy this one hell of game. The most epic swansong for sony's 8th generation of gaming.

Overall, the story, world, and gameplay makes for a great open world experience that is held back by its inconsistent range of quality. The game is at its best in these cinematic and atmospheric moments, but is at its lowest when the game sometimes doesn't have an answer to the player's actions. It is hard to say that this game does anything wrong, but nothing much outside of the visuals and combat is truly great.

Ghost of Tsushima is a must-play game. Regardless of the problems, Sucker Punch should be appreciated for providing a pure experience as a samurai and then a ghost. This game is surely worth experiencing several times

Ghost of Tsushima may or may not be the game of the year for a lot of people. Between the stunning visuals, solid story and characters, and one of the best uses of the open world framework I’ve seen, it is a strong contender for me, even in a year that has included some fantastic releases.

Ghost of Tsushima can be considered one of the best open world games of this generation, mainly for its sublime ambience and fantastic art direction. The journey of Jin Sakai and the universe created is very interesting, specially for what can happen beyond that. A fun gameplay, rich world, captivating characters and more, make the latest Playstation 4 exclusive a more than worthy closure for the generation.

Ghost of Tsushima is a bold, strong and beautiful title that manages to wrap up the big budget exclusive scene pretty well. It's definitely one of the best action games of this generation and maybe even history of video games. The gameplay is very enjoyable and addictive and the little tales here and there, never let the game become boring. There are a few unique and innovative gameplay mechanisms in this game, alongside some familiar ones. The graphics are mesmerizing and it never feels short in content. Ghost of Tsushima is a must-play!

Whether you are a fan of action adventure games, RPGs, or deep open world games, you'll probably enjoy Ghost of Tsushima, and if it weren't for some AI issues and repetitive side mission, it would have even reached higher. Nevertheless, GoT is a poetic and cinematic experience that will suck you into its each and every moment.

Ghost of Tsushima is a slight surprise. It is an all-around experience which delivers the fantasy of being a mythical samurai warrior. However, not everything shines, especially with the stealth systems, that do not square up, mechanically nor thematically. As the old saying goes, a samurai cannot obey 2 masters, because he dishonors himself. Thus, Ghost of Tsushima is a reminder of why Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption 2 are generational gems and benchmarks in open world terms.
