Ghost of Tsushima Reviews
Now that I’ve had a moment to catch my breath and collect myself, what I’m about to say will hardly come as a surprise to anyone. Get Ghost of Tsushima now, if you haven’t, and play it immediately if it’s on your backlog. It just holds up against the stiffest of competition in the PS4 generation of games, and may even exceed them by a hair. For now, I will be quietly praying for a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima.
If you are interested in pleasant gameplay, which in many moments is close to the new installments of the Assassin's Creed series and you are turned on by the atmosphere of feudal Japan, the production of Sucker Punch should not disappoint you.

Sucker Punch has the honor of bringing us the last PS4 exclusive with Ghost of Tsushima. The game delivers an immense adventure of more than 30 hours, based on a true war. The battles, the environment, the animation, all look amazing. Still, it misses an original touch in its gameplay. Next to that, the battles tend to be the same once you get the hang of the stances.

Ultimately, Ghost of Tsushima is the closest I’ve come to feeling like I was the hero of a film from the Golden Age Of Samurai Cinema. It was rewarding, fun to play, thoughtful and just a unique experience I’m glad I had the opportunity to enjoy – and if you like samurai adventures or open world games, you’ll want to experience Ghost of Tsushima too.
The game feels ‘complete’ to be appointed as one of the best open world environment games. With impressive visuals and audio, the combat system, exploration, responsive controls and swift loading times are all something gamers love and adore. The game can be played as chill and laid back with collective elements, as well as rough and action based with its vast difficulties in combat. The game can be well renowned as one of the main faces of all major PS4 titles.

Ghost of Tsushima is a perfectly constructed work of art only let down by minor details.
This isn't going to be a new game for most, but Ghost of Tsushima is the best checkbox open-world game to-date. While it struggles with some story issues, the combat, world, activities, and characters are incredible, and this game's beauty is like no other.
Ghost of Tsushima was my personal Game of the Year. Whilst it is not necessarily a ground-breaking, revolutionary title(nor does it need to be), it just is very, very, very, very, good. And, I reckon most of you out there will agree.
Sucker Punch did a majestic job: The Tsushima Isle is wonderful and we enjoy travelling into it. Despite some questionable game design choices, Ghost of Tsushima is a good adventure that offers wonderful landscapes.

Ghost of Tsushima is a once-in-a-console generation type of game. There aren’t many we could say the same thing about in the same sentence. Red Dead Redemption 2? Sure. The Witcher 3. Absolutely. Breath of the Wild? Yes. But Ghost of Tsushima easily stands amongst the heaviest hitters to release over the course of the last seven years. With plans to expand the game further as we’ve seen in the weeks since release, including a multiplayer component titled Legends arriving later this Fall, Sucker Punch is clearly committed to seeing this new IP thrive and prosper. And that, my friends, brings a huge, cheesy grin to my face.
Set on the small island of Tsushima just off the coast of mainland Japan in 1274, the game starts with the army of Tsushima charging the beaches to battle the 30,000 strong Mongolian invaders that have come to conquer their land. As you may have guessed this does not go to plan as the army of Tsushima is defeated with ease, and the Japanese ruler Lord Shimura is captured by Khotun Khan, a successful general and descendent of the legendary Genghis Khan.
Tradition, pride, honor. The game starts with this words and is clear their matrix: not the historically accurate Samurai, but the Kurosawa's ones. Kurosawa ispired the western genre and so it's fair that the Far West came back to East.

Ghost of Tsushima might just be one of the best games I have ever played. In a similar way to when I got stuck in to God of War or Horizon: Zero Dawn, I found myself asking why I waited so long to get it.
Ghost of Tsushima is a great openworld game along the lines of the third Witcher elements taken from other games sprinkled in as well. Theoretically, it does nothing new and unseen. But everthing the game does it doex extremely well. And most importantly presents it drenched in atmosphere of feudal Japan.

Sucker Punch has created one of the best PS4 titles with Ghost of Tsushima and has given the approaching end of this console generation a worthy conclusion. Even though the beginning could have been a little rounder and the main story is not a masterpiece in itself, Jin's adventure as a complete work convinces with a brute fighting system and beautiful visuals. The great side stories, which give the characters additional depth and further illuminate their motives, quickly turn empty shells into individual characters. You are happy about positive events and share their pain in sad situations. All this makes it for me personally a more down-to-earth, but also better Assassin's Creed. Because with the latest titles I too often had the feeling that side stories degenerate into work rather than experiences. Technically, Ghost of Tsushima is not the best that has ever been seen on PlayStation, and even though the camera doesn't always react as I would have liked in hectic situations, I had a very well-rounded gaming experience throughout. For anyone who can even vaguely relate to open worlds and the historical Japanese setting, Ghost of Tsushima is an absolute must.

Since inFAMOUS: Second Son (2014) we haven't heard anything from Sucker Punch and if we're honest, we were more expecting another inFAMOUS spin-off than this surprise. The setting can definitely be described as unspent and the realization is simply fantastic. Ghost of Tsushima has pretty much everything we could wish for in a title like this, impressive and contemporary presentation, great story, a lot to discover (including collectibles) and a decent amount. If we had to criticize anything, it would be the sometimes questionable enemy AI and a few tiny bugs (missing triggers for side quests), which were not visible after a restart of the game and will surely be fixed. Ghost of Tsushima is a terrific masterpiece, which you can definitely put on the "You have to played it" list.

If Ghost of Tsushima truly is the last big PS4 exclusive then Sucker Punch has made sure the console is going out honourably. I have no doubt that Ghost of Tsushima will be in the Game of the Year conversation, and might also be included in people’s lists of the best games of all time. In a lot of ways, it’s the Assassin’s Creed game we’ve been wanting. Despite the seemingly natural fit, Ubisoft never did take their stabby-stabby games to Japan, and so it’s like Sucker Punch heaved a great sigh and said, “fine, we’ll do it ourselves, then.” And do it themselves they did, creating one of the finest open-world games of the generation.
Ghost of Tsushima is not perfect, but it's definitely a must for those who like 13th century Feudal Japan and the Samurai setting.

The final exclusive title for the PS4, Ghost of Tsushima invites players to explore a rich and immersive world while also treating them to an engaging story and a dynamic battle system that is sure to entertain for many an hour/
Ghost of Tsushima feels like a tech demo–a showcase of the PlayStation 4’s graphical capabilities, especially through its hefty photo mode and the sheer amount of things you can have on the screen at the same time.
