  Familiarity with the open-world genre may breed contempt here, though. We’re truly spoiled. Ghost of Tsushima’s individual components build to a satisfying whole, and its historical world is a wonder to explore and among the best we’ve ever seen visually.

  9.0

  Ghost of Tsushima is an enormous and densely packed samurai adventure that often left me completely awestruck with both its visual spectacle and excellent combat. By steadily introducing new abilities instead of stat upgrades, its swordplay manages to stay challenging, rewarding, and fun throughout the entire 40 to 50 hours that it took me to beat the campaign. A few aspects are surprisingly lacking in polish in comparison to other first-party Sony games, especially when it comes to enemy AI and the stealth part of its stealth/action split. Still this is an extraordinary open-world action-adventure game that solves several issues that have long gone unaddressed in the genre, while also just being an all around samurai slashin’ good time.

  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.

  Ghost of Tsushima blew me away in every way possible. Not only is it one one of the most beautiful games I’ve ever played, but it’s probably the most immersive open world game I’ve ever experienced. This is a rare gem that is not only a piece of art, but also incredibly fun and satisfying to play. From the rich lore, to the complex characters, to the awe-inspiring beauty throughout, Ghost of Tsushima is a game you simply cannot miss.

  Ghost of Tsushima may not be the perfect send off to the PS4 generation, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have a great time playing through Jin’s life-changing journey. The worst thing I can say about Sucker Punch’s newest game is that it lacks originality. It just barely stands out. But if you really love well-crafted worlds and taking gorgeous pictures, Ghost of Tsushima is definitely worth a playthrough.

  Ghost of Tsushima is a great open-world experience, but it has a few rough edges in terms of its stealth mechanics. We do feel like this is another great exclusive entry in Sony’s library of games, especially when it comes to the visual experience, and even the storytelling, be it of the main storyline as well as the side quests. The game is a stellar cinematic experience, and the combat can be a bit tricky to get into at the beginning, but after that, it can become very rewarding to take out big groups of enemies.

  Ghost of Tsushima is a beautifully crafted samurai adventure filled with elegance and marvelous treasures to discover.  The combat is engaging, yet challenging, and it has yet to get old, even after dozens of hours into the adventure.  Despite a few hiccups in the lackluster AI and a few glitches, I managed to continually get lost and awe-struck at the truly extraordinary experience Sucker Punch has created.

  Ghost of Tsushima is a gorgeous game that has Sucker Punch taking its shot at telling its own samurai story. The combat feels great; and you have a lot of freedom when it comes to building up Jin. It’s simply a stunning way to say goodbye to the PS4.

  Your enjoyment of Ghost of Tsushima will, in the end, come down to how much you enjoy open world games and how much you know about/value the Japanese history and culture. If you can stomach the inaccuracies and love having a big map to find collectibles in, then welcome: Kurosawa-land is open and waiting for you, samurai.

  Ghost of Tsushima is exceptional, a quality 40-hour adventure full of unforgettable moments, outstanding boss fights, and a story that left me satisfied yet yearning for more. Sucker Punch has delivered a true masterpiece in terms of narrative and gameplay, providing a samurai experience I’ve been craving for decades. Ghost of Tsushima is a masterful tale of a samurai warrior going against a lifetime of beliefs for the greater good of his people.
