    (+) Beautifully designed world (+) Impressive graphics for the PS4 (+) Best photo mode in any game to date (+) Very satisfying and enjoyable combat (-) Similar game design implemented since 2002 in open world games (-) Terrible lip sync (-) Story mission linearity doesn't justify the open world (-) Act III lacks new content and charm when compared to the first two (3/5) - Above Average - Recommended at $39.99

    This game is awesome itself but having the Collector's Edition just tops it off. I'm happy I was able to get one. Thanks Best Buy.

    Game looks amazing, the combat superb and story keeps you invested. Great soundtrack. One helluva game to end the PS4 era. Collector's edition is awesomely put together, with a flag, map of the region, the mask is ceramic and has some weight to it. Overall well worth it.

    i normally end up regretting buying collector's editions because the bonuses end up being meh quality or not as cool as in the pictures but the mask this one came with is actually super nice, the cloth banners and things were also cool, and the box and packaging itself were top notch. I can't tell if the mask is heavy duty plastic or actually ceramic, but my only complaint is that the mask base is plastic and does not match the quality of the mask. The game itself is fine. Big open world with too much or too little variation of things to do. looks very pretty. playing on hard and finally got the hang of combat now that I've leveled up quite a bit and can handle fighting multiple enemies at once. Playing with japanese audio with subtitles and the voice actors are good (main guy is the actor who plays Zoro in one piece) tried the black and white mode but didn't like it - on top of the visuals the audio is also distorted to sound vintage. So with muddy audio and a lack of color it makes fighting that much more difficult because you can't see or hear the cues to fight effectively (but that could just be seen as an added level of challenge and excitement for some)

    SIMPLY AMAZING!!

    Definitely game of the year in my views so far. It’s not your regular cookie cutter open world, no! It’s an amazing open world where every side quest has a deeper connection to the story and rewarding you handsomely for completion. You are not level gated and no HUD intrusion ruining the immersion. You get to bask in the beautiful land scapes of Japan where every area you visited felt so different and unique from the previous area. The story was well and exactly what one expects an actual Samurai story to be. Love the Japanese voice dub on it, creates an even more immersive attachment to the game. Only query is the voices are lip sync perfectly to English but not in Japanese, nothing that breaks the immersion though. Otherwise this game is absolutely phenomenal. Definitely worth the buy!! If you haven’t played it, do yourself a favor and don’t skip this title. You will be kicking yourself in the head if you do. Sucker Punch definitely brought their A game to the table. Can’t wait to see what else they come out with.. Thank you for the greatest long awaited Japanese Samurai experience we have been waiting for!!

    Fun, engaging, and I rarely say this, beautiful game. The combat is top notch, the story interesting, definitely an appropriate swan song to the PS4. As for the Collectors Edition items, the cloth items are made from very high quality materials and the printing is well done. The mask is amazing and it is very easy to attach to the stand. My only wish is that it had the holes to string jute so we could wear it. I also like the look of the steelbook case, it has a nice pattern that fits the game aesthetic well. If you can get your hands on one of these collectors editions, it is worth it.

    I was instantly sold when I saw this game be announced. I have not been disappointed. The gameplay is fantastic, the story is engaging and unique, although there's not much "new" in the mechanics area, it's still one of the best open-world games in my opinion. The in-game changes to weather based on how you play are so subtly done that you don't even realize why it's happening until it begins to click. The physical items were a great touch, though I kind of wish the mask had been wearable.

    This game is just astounding to see on the PS4 and a fitting swansong for the generation. The story is well-wrought, thought out, and engaging. The gameplay is much the same and offers thoroughly satisfying stealth vs overt combat abilities. This CE is above and beyond and if you see one available, jump on it! Mask is weighty and high quality.

    Despite what many may have said about this game being a "cookie-cutter open world," Ghost of Tsushima has managed to do it in an incredible way. Traversing through the world does not feel like a chore in the least, and simply running through the map or riding horse back is enough to be entertained by the beauty of this world. The colors and settings are all stunning and it is never a bore to keep staring at. The main quests and side quests were engaging but the best part is, of course, the gameplay. The only complaint I have had thus far is the lack of options to adjust the camera controls or sensitivity.

    One of the best open world games that I have ever played. The story, themes, game play, plot and graphics kept up engaged from start to finish. Nearly perfect. I always wanted an assassins creed game with ninjas and samurai, but they are too late. This is the quintessential Samurai game. The gold standard for Samurai games. If you haven't bought this game yet, do yourself a favor and buy it NOW. Games like these are few and far between.

    This game is a ton of fun. The environments are gorgeous and the gameplay is addicting. Sucker Punch made an even better world to run around and discover. All of the little details that you start to notice the more you play makes this game truly special. While not quite on par with The Last of Us PtII, I would say that this is a much more enjoyable game that still challenges you.

    I adore this game! Fantastic combat, great characters, moving music, beautiful graphics and an emotional journey. The collector’s edition is exactly what I want in a collector’s edition as well. I love getting props of in-game items, and the mask, banner and wrapping cloth are all of high quality. Plus a few digital bonuses to boot. Completely satisfied with this purchase.

    Amazing game. Just beat TLoU2 which I thought was a very good game despite all the negative reviews. Ghost of Tsushima is a refreshing take on samurais and their honor. Go buy this game which I think may be the last triple A for the PS4. I’m glad I bought the collector’s edition of the game before all the preorders were sold out. The mask and steel book are awesome!

    Very fun to play and beautiful-looking to boot, this open-world samurai game just might be my game of the year. A must play for those itching for an awesome open-world experience. I had a feeling that this game would be something special, so I locked in an order for the collector's edition prior to release and am happy with the included extras.

    This game is amazing! It’s absolutely beautiful! The story is great, the combat is possibly the best sword combat in all of video games. The collectors edition is very nice! The packaging was very nicely done, samurai mask is much cooler than I expected. Very heavy duty and nicely made. I love this collectors edition! Can’t recommend it enough!

    This is one of the best looking games I have ever played. Almost any shot in the game could be capture(using the very good photo mode) and hung on a wall. The gameplay is simple but very satisfying. Everything feels brutal and deadly. The story is probably the weakest part of the game but it gets the job done.
