Ghost of Tsushima Reviews
Ghost of Tsushima is a fitting swan song for the PS4, and ends this generation of PlayStation on a triumphant note. Sucker Punch have to be applauded for once again creating a jaw-dropping open world with strong visual fidelity and some of the best art direction they've ever achieved.
The game is an extraordinary combination of great storytelling and combat set in a remarkable world.
Sucker Punch brought us the colorful charming world of Sly Cooper and the dark superhero adventures of inFamous. Ghost of Tsushima is a radical shift for this studio in atmosphere and gameplay while using what the studio has learned from their past projects to deliver one of the best games this generation. A beautiful samurai adventure teeming with optional adventures as you drive the Mongols from 13th century Japan. Yes, it has minor faults that often break up the action during critical moments and the platforming doesn’t carry the same precision as past Sucker Punch titles but these are tiny holes in this outstanding adventure. Ghost of Tsushima takes the player on an epic samurai odyssey that everyone should play.
Ghost of Tsushima treats the era with respect. The solemn approach to an open world is Sucker Punch’s best game yet.
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.
Ghost of Tsushima is a perfectly constructed work of art only let down by minor details.
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.

From it's breath taking environments to it's stellar combat and style, you won't be able to stop playing Ghost of Tsushima. It is made from the same cloth as games like God of War, Bloodborne, and Uncharted when it comes to PS4 exclusives and is a solid Game of the Year contender. For 60 USD you will get more than your money's worth and an experience to remember.
When the credits rolled after the final scene, I felt like I was in a movie theater and ready to applaud. I got to binge-watch and play the samurai story of my dreams. For anyone else who's ever picked up a long, empty wrapping-paper tube, held it with two hands a few inches apart, and swung it like a samurai, I have good news: We found it. We've got our game.
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 an platform exclusive like it should be and it reminds me why I'm still a PlayStation child at heart. It depicts a wonderful world with deep variety, detail and atmosphere, tells a lot of stories that never disappoint in quality and has a complex gameplay that seems polished and made with a lot of love. Even with a few flaws regarding bugs and some repetitive elements, Sucker Punch have proven that they've been so ready for something new!

Ghost of Tsushima snared me so totally that I need to complete everything. It’s an enjoyment to play and a pleasure to view.
A fitting PlayStation first-party exclusive to arrive for the PS4, Ghost of Tsushima is an epic adventure that has all the right ingredients for major success.
Ghost of Tsushime is a beautiful game. This samurai open world has a great combat system and it is technically flawless, but its gameplay is too conservative and it often feels too generic.

Yes, we have the presence of some clutches and design flaws very typical of the subgenre to which this title belongs, but nothing that overshadows the experience that this closure represents to the great exclusives of the PlayStation 4.

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?
Ghost of Tsushima is an excellent action game and its open world is one of the most gorgeous yet.
Ghost of Tsushima is the samurai Assassin's Creed Ubisoft will wish it had made
Perhaps Ghost of Tsushima isn’t a perfect cherry blossom, but it is pretty damn close as far as I’m concerned.
Ghost of Tsushima is a masterclass on how to make a palatable and focused open world experience
