Customer Ratings & Reviews

The system itself has a nice design on it, and the controller has a nice design, but Sony messed up bigtime when they made the system and controllers, first they put the disc drive on the lower part of the system under a lip so it is hard putting discs in the system, second they made an orange light on the controller that stays ON at all times when the microphone is OFF, third is the fact that it is supposed to be a 1 terabyte system but 20% of the data is already used when you start the system, so unfortunately you have to buy a bigger harddrive for the system because you can only install a few games, 10-15 games, as most games take up anywhere from 60-100 gigabytes of memory, the system also has too many updates when you start it and you also have to update the controller just to play games, the controller battery doesn't last very long maybe 10-12 hours so you are charging it almost every day, it only takes about 2 hours to charge the controller, I still do enjoy playing games on the system.

Ghost of Yothi on the PS5 is an incredible experience from start to finish. The visuals are breathtaking, with detailed environments and smooth gameplay that truly showcase what the PS5 can do. The storyline is immersive and emotional, keeping me hooked from the very first scene. The combat feels fluid and satisfying, and the soundtrack perfectly complements the game’s atmosphere. I also love how quickly it loads—thanks to the PS5’s SSD, there’s almost no downtime between action sequences. Overall, it’s one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had on the PS5 and a must-have for any fan of adventure and storytelling.

Sucker Punch Productions captures lightning in a bottle twice with Ghost of Yōtei, delivering a masterful follow-up that confidently carves out its own distinct identity. Moving away from the late-13th-century shores of Tsushima, the game transports players to 1603, centering its narrative on the rugged, snow-capped wilderness surrounding Mount Yōtei in Ezo (modern-day Hokkaido). This leap forward in time brings a starkly different atmosphere. The story follows Atsu, a fiery, brash protagonist who is far less concerned with rigid samurai honor than Jin Sakai was. Driven by a raw, personal desire for vengeance against a ruthless group known as the Yōtei Six, Atsu’s journey feels intimate and grounded, grounded by a stellar, nuanced performance from actor Erika Ishii. Visually, the game serves as a true showcase for the hardware, pushing environmental art to spectacular heights. The fields are densely packed with swaying wild flowers, the lighting creates breathtaking moonlit reflections over wetlands, and the dramatic contrast between the sun-drenched southern valleys and the harsh, blinding blizzards of the north is stunning. Sucker Punch retains the beloved "diegetic UI," utilizing natural cues like the guiding wind, sprinting wolves, and golden birds to lead you across the map instead of cluttering your screen with icons. Exploring the landscape feels genuinely meditative, punctuated by clever features like using the DualSense touchpad to sketch landscapes via traditional Sumi-e ink painting minigames. Combat has received a massive, satisfying overhaul by replacing the original's stance system with a dynamic five-weapon arsenal. Atsu can seamlessly swap between dual katanas, a spear, a massive ōdachi sword, and a versatile kusarigama (chain-sickle) that excels at sweeping crowd control and pulling distant targets in for flashy assassinations. Because the game takes place at the dawn of the Edo period, firearms also make an impactful debut; the slow-loading musket punches through heavy armor with satisfying force, while the flintlock pistol works wonders for point-blank staggering. Every encounter feels fluid and incredibly lethal, making you earn your victories through precise parries and tight dodge windows rather than letting you become an unstoppable, overpowered tank. If there is a minor flaw in this otherwise stellar package, it is that the open-world loop occasionally relies on familiar tropes. While the game tries to mask its checklists behind organic exploration, clearing out outposts, tracking down basic bounty targets, and engaging in simple stealth mechanics in tall grass can feel a bit predictable. The camera can also occasionally get caught in tight spaces during hectic, multi-enemy skirmishes. However, these small mechanical gripes do little to drag down the overall experience. With its rich cinematic flair inspired by classic Japanese cinema, deeply engaging gameplay variety, and a phenomenal musical score, Ghost of Yōtei stands tall as a mandatory, generational highlight for any action-adventure fan.

The Ghost of Yotei artwork looks incredible in person the details are sharp, the finish feels premium, and it stands out completely from the standard white consoles. The matching DualSense controller is stunning and feels great in the hand. Performance-wise, it’s a beast: silent operation, instant load times, and buttery smooth graphics. Playing Atsu’s journey on the hardware designed for it makes the immersion next-level. If you are on the fence, just buy it. You won't regret it.

Five stars all the way! I absolutely love my PS5 the design of both the console and the controller is stunning. It runs flawlessly, and for the performance you get, the price was spot on. I’d highly recommend it to anyone

This PS5 Ghost of Tsushima Edition is incredible. The console looks amazing with the themed design, and the game itself runs beautifully on the system — smooth graphics, fast loading, and breathtaking visuals. The special edition details really make it stand out, and it’s easily one of the best PS5 bundles I’ve owned. If you’re a fan of Ghost of Tsushima or just want a gorgeous console with an amazing game, this is worth every penny.

Ghost of Yotei is an amazing value, considering it's included with the system, and the faceplates and controller look beautiful! Don't regret at all trading my PS4 in, first-party titles run even better on my PS5, finally locked at their intended framerates. In addition to the fact that the PS5's exclusive catalog is finally enticing enough to warrant the pricey upgrade. With GTA 6 on the horizon, now is really the perfect time to upgrade!

The PlayStation 5 Ghost of Yōtei Edition is, honestly, one of the most beautiful consoles I have ever had in my hands. Since I took it out of the box, it feels like something special. The design inspired by the game does not look exaggerated or loaded; on the contrary, it has an elegant style, with a finish that combines perfectly with the theme of the game without looking like another ornament. It's one of those editions that are really nice to have on the desk or next to the TV. As for performance, there's not much to explain: it's the PS5 at its best. The loading times practically disappear, the games look incredibly fluid, and in titles like Ghost of Yōtei you can see the work they did to make the most of the console. The combination of lighting, details of the world and fluidity at 60 fps makes the experience completely immersive. The DualSense, as always, is another level. The vibrations and adaptive triggers in this game feel very well achieved, to the point that they put you more in combat and exploration. And having control with details of the special edition also gives it that extra touch of collection.

An outstanding gaming console that delivers impressive 4K performance. After two months of consistent use, it continues to run smoothly and pairs exceptionally well with the Nakamichi 7.1.4 Atmos system via Dolby Digital Plus. The Ghost of Yotei artwork further elevates the aesthetic appeal, making this edition both visually striking and highly collectible. A purchase well worth considering.

I do not know what to say but sometimes it is hard to put down because of it is stunning gameplay and incredible visuals

It's so amazing, I've wanted a PS5 for a long time and now that I have one I'm so incredibly excited & happy that I can play the games I want to play with the system I know I'm good at using, it runs so smoothe & Quite. I'm incredibly satisfied

This ps5 is very stunning. The overall look on both the console and the contoller just wow. Both are eye catching. There is texture to the accents. Even runs smooth glad I bought it.

Great console, runs smooth. Great graphics, switched back to PlayStation from Xbox and it was definitely worth it. 10/10 recommend

Amazing console. I am blown away by the stunning skin that is on the beautiful outer shell and the beautiful controller that came with it. It is an amazing deal for $50 more than the normal console. You get one terabyte of storage and an $80 pre-order version of one of the greatest games to release that year. I highly recommend that anybody looking to get into PlayStation picks up this console so that they can experience an amazing RPG and have a beautiful console and controller to match.

Pictures do not do the console justice. Was in the market for a PS5 and had never even heard of the Ghost of Yōtei, but when I came across this bundle, it stopped me in my tracks and purchased it immediately. Unboxing the bundle surprised me even more because I had not realized exactly how detailed the artwork was. Never thought I’d call a gaming system or controller “beautiful”, but here we are. The game is just a bonus. Fun, amazing graphics, great story and gameplay. Highly recommend!

The slim size is perfect it does not take up to much space and the design is amazing looks great!
