    From the developers of Sly Cooper comes a historical adventure against the Mongol horde. Ghost of Tsushima is full of incredible detail for it's time period and features a gorgeous open world. Become the legendary Ghost of Tsushima, who rebuilt an army of scattered samurai and warriors to fight off the invading forces. How will you build your legend? Will you carry on the ideals of the samurai who came before you, or treat the invaders with the only thing they understand. There's a lot to appreciate and explore in this game. And it turns out to be one of the most beautifully optimized completionist experience for an open world game I've played in a long time. Let's jump into my Ghost of Tsushima review!

    One of the great things he didn't even really talk about with this game is just the amount of work they put into decreasing the load times. Most modern games I end up putting down the controller for a bit while it loads (especially the terrible GTAV with its 4 minutes of load times) but in Ghost its litterally 4 seconds to load after teleporting across the entire map. It was absurd how much they were able to cut down on load times in this game compared to other games on this system.

    I lived on Tsushima back when I was a part of the JET program. It's about 80% mountain forest. It's a good place to set a mythic tale in since you don't have to worry about bungling real historical events too much. Tsushima is a beautiful island, and so it's nice to see that this game seems to capture that feeling. Because so little of the island is actually inhabited by people, you can find beautiful, scenic views pretty much everywhere you go. When it would rain, I would just sit by a window and watch the trees move back and forth with the wind. Sorry, I guess this is irrelevant to the game. Your video just made me feel a bit nostalgic.

If they want something intriguing, why not a WW2 setting? Perhaps the character is an Nazi deserter who joins first believing its a noble cause but quits once he realizes its far more than he bargained for. It'd basically be a reverse Rogue. Hell, it'd make sense lore wise too. The templars want to resurrect the precursors, and the nazis wanted to create the perfect race

      Not bad. That first line is six syllables, but than again, haikus weren't invented until some 400 years after the game takes place, and weren't called haikus for another 200, the katana wasn't invented yet as it was a result of adjustments made because samurai tachis proved mostly ineffective or even broke upon Mongolian boiled leather, and Samurai primarily fought with archery, then moved to spears at close quarters and primarily used swords as backup weapons or for duels, so it would be petty of me to nitpick that and not this game.

      I've been thinking about this a lot. I ALWAYS wanted an AC game in Japan, even when people were whining about there being "too many samurai games" and that it wouldn't do well (L O L). I haven't even played Ghost of Tsushima yet, but as a pretty hardcore AC fan, I know they'd never be able to make a game of this caliber. I don't want them to butcher it anymore, lol. (I would probably still play it if they did, though, let's be real)

      It wont be as good, because Ghost is a pure Samurai game with stealth mechanic(which is something tha tfits the story too) while assassins creed will be just generic ninja game with multiple weapons like other Assassins creed games, also the world inst really that enjoyable to explore because of al the grinding and useless side-quest.

    I completed everything before the last mission. I didn't plan to, I'm not a completionist, but I wanted to because I loved the idea of liberating Tsushima, and Iki before hand and I got spoiled, and when I played a song for taka's grave in my white ghost armour it felt awesome and complete. I love the care put in this game and it's a rare modern game experience I feel impressed.

    "Assassin's Creed" should take notes. My favourite parts were the duels. I played this after "Sekiro" so parrying was second nature to me. I don't think I've ever blocked in GoT. Such a shame there weren't more duels. I loved also how my gameplay changed throughout the game. In the beginning stealth was paramount. By the second chapter getting the family armor I did all previous quests and got the collectibles so I relied little on stealth. I'd just challenge the enemies head on. I saw this as a reflection of Jin's progress. In the beginning nobody knows you, you need to build up experience and popular support to become stronger so stealth is necessary. But progressing further you can just barge in a Mongol camp, and openly challenge the enemy because you know you'll win... unless the camera is badly positioned and you miss a strike (most often the first one). I loved exploring the island on foot and see everything. I never felt forced to do side-quests just for completion's sake. I actually cared about everyone I helped. Even the random captives by the roads guarded by a handful of bandits. They reward you with insignificant small stuff, but you take it without saying a word because it's a symbol of dignity and gratitude.

    Collecting singing crickets actually let you play songs on your flute that change the weather! Not JUST collectables! Simply so to your gear options, go to accessories, select the song with its associated weather variant, and when you're out and about you can change the weather anytime by swiping left on the touchpad! So even the collectables you said had no real purpose, have a more tangible purpose than all of the non cosmetic collectables in the game!

    Best game ever made. This review hits every nail on the head. Every aspect of the game is correctly described so wonderfull, And in detail. I was so impressed with his detailed desription. Started playing computer games when I bought my Commodore 64 in 1983. I am not a very good game player but I did manage to finish this game on the easy level which even of itself was a challenge for me personally. It is also the only game I've ever played a second time which I am in the process of right at this moment. I recently finally got my hands on a PlayStation 5 and that is what I played the game with. Other games to compare it with, Red Redemption New Horizons God of War describes somewhat the same detail and depth of the graphics which in one word are simply breathtaking. I could say so many things but I won't, as this man's review really captures everything about it accurately. I first played this game on my PlayStation 4 plus and to be honest with you could not get into it or understand it and after a while I picked it back up and it just clicked and then it was just all out from there on. I actually cried when his horse died. That's not a spoiler alert but worth commenting. This one game makes it worthwhile to even buy a PlayStation 5. Another thing that I believe is worth stating is I never leave comments. I leave that to other people and even as in real life I will not argue or debate about anything. I just State the facts as I see them and then drop it. I will close with this as there's nothing more to say on my end, buy this game. You won't regret it and probably out of 100 games I've bought in my lifetime I can probably name 10 that I enjoyed or felt worth while playing. I just had Origin custom build a gaming computer for me and it as a matter of fact is still unopened in the Box sitting in my living room I recently got a hold of the PlayStation 5 and with my old age I find that it's more enjoyable sitting in a recliner playing on a 65 in television.

I never felt like groaning with certain enemies because they're obnoxious, because there's always a way to deal with them, and the key is to weave everything you have to deal with everything thrown at you. This game was so good for many reasons and I am glad I took that gamble in getting it on release. I had wanted to play it but felt I could wait. When the opportunity arose, I decided to try it out.

    The completion reward is the teal and red armor he shows. There's a red, and a white version of the same armor that are exclusive to a hard choice you have to make in the story, so you can't get 100% of the items on one playthrough (unless they patch it in an update later). I hope they add that, as well as an armor loadout system, as swapping charms/armor for optimal play took up way too much of my time (I'd put it on d-pad right, optionally replacing the photo mode hotkey). The game could also really use a dueling arena as there is essentially nothing left to play other than wandering mongol spawns, after you liberate the island.
    It's probably too late to do this as it would have required another round of mo-cap and VO, but to make the game more perfect, I would have also done an alternate story path that allows jin to choose the true path of the samurai, locking away all ghost abilities and assassination. You can sort-of do that with your skill choices, but you're forced to unlock assassination which brings up the prompt up sometimes even during active combat (when enemies turn and lose focus on you), and there are a number of story quests that require not just stealth, but stealth kills, including a very pivotal moment in the story, meaning that big twist would have to be reworked into something else which then changes quite a few dialogues referencing it after. It's such a volume of work that maybe it's better to just add a simple toggle that disables ghost abilities, and awards a trophy for beating the game with it (ignoring the missions that require it), and then use the saved time on a duel arena or challenge maps or something.

    The metaphor comparing this game to writing haiku is infinitely cool, and perfectly encapsulates what makes it so special. Using a Japanese art form to articulate why a game inspired by Japanese culture, coming full circle. Jirard, or whoever else may have written it, big props.

    I started playing this a couple days ago and it almost immediately made it on my top 10 games of all time. My ps4 has had a long journey and this was a good last hoorah for the console

    This is the best review I've seen for this game. I went from Playstation to hard core xbox this generation but I will now be picking this up. Assume Job

    Just completed Ghost of Tsushima, originally I wasn't going to but when I noticed that I had already collected most of the collectibles so I thought why not and enjoy the landscape of the game one last time. Was worth it.

    I didnt understand the wind feature at first bc all i wanted to do is slice n dice.
    But once i got into the story and paid attention, i fucking with it and and i realized you swipe and the wind points in the direction, i took a second to think about it.
    This is by far the best guidance system ive ever seen.
    It doesnt break action or immersion at all, hell it like you're a god and you're simply nudging Jin in the direction he needs to go

    I know I could’ve just named my horse Kage/Shadow cause shadows are cool... but I went with Sora/Sky, same as you, instead.
    This game is all about the winds of change.

      I went with Sora too, but No Game No Life

      My first horse was Sora, and the second was Kage. It's unintentional, but it represents Jin's story, in a way.
