A Beautiful, Immersive Journey with Minor Flaws
Ghost of Tsushima is a stunning open-world samurai adventure that excels in atmosphere, style, and emotional storytelling. The island of Tsushima feels alive from windswept fields to burning villages and every moment looks like a moving piece of art. Combat is incredibly satisfying, blending precise swordplay with stealth options that let you approach encounters your way.
The story of Jin Sakai’s transformation is gripping, and the supporting characters add depth and weight to the world. Exploration is rewarding, and the guiding wind is one of the most elegant navigation systems in any game.
That said, some repetitive side activities and occasionally predictable mission structures keep it from feeling truly groundbreaking. Enemy AI can be inconsistent, and a few mechanics feel underused.
Still, Ghost of Tsushima is a memorable, emotionally charged experience that’s easy to recommend especially for fans of samurai films and open-world adventures. A beautiful, thoughtful game that earns its four stars.

Great game that fully utilizes the PS5's hardware. I'm not ga fan of open world games generally, but this (along with R* open world games) are a great exception. I didn't mind paying 70 for it, but you better be ready to drop that kind of money on a game like this. Story was also good too, had a enjoyable gameplay loop too. I have yet to touch the game's Iki Island expansion.

This is a great game.
I was fortunate to be able to get a PlayStation 5 almost a month ago and this was the first game I decided to buy and try out on the new console.
I still have my old ps4 and it does look a lot better compared to that console. (I don’t think it was a ps4 pro)
The story is good already on the third part of the island and I did go to the IKI part as well and I am finishing off that story first. They do have some new items and quests in IKI island as well as a new armor which I think I like so far above the others one.
There is alot of gameplay so this won’t be a one weekend thing unless you plan to speed run it and not complete the side quests.

This game blew me away with how much you can do and all of the techniques and abilities you can earn. Ghost of Tsushima’s open world is big and beautiful. The story is immersive and a good length. The combat is smooth, and the customizable armor is cool! Overall wonderful game if you like samurai action and great open world experiences.

I bought the collectors edition last year and now after buying the PS5 directors cut id say my money was well spent. For a game that I would consider a masterpiece imo i don’t regret double dipping. The game just feels and looks better on PS5 not to mention the load times are non existent literally takes like 2 seconds. The iki island story expansion was pretty interesting I enjoyed it. Not a big tech specs guy but after playing both versions the PS5 felt wayyy smoother in both gameplay and frame rate. No cap Id definitely recommend the upgrade.

For starters, the game was shipped very quickly, and as the title says....it was "as good as I had hoped". It was packaged very well, it was very reasonably priced, and the game itself is fantastic..a pure masterpiece. Because the whole experience was so great, I decided to purchase another.

Probably the best looking game in existence. The guiding wind feature is genius, it feels seamless to use while playing and keeps you from having to look in the corner of the screen while navigating the map. Sucker Punch knows what they're doing.

Ghost of Tsushima is an absolute visual masterpiece. The feudal Japanese world is breathtaking, featuring dynamic foliage, vibrant colors, and a stunning atmosphere. Combat is viscerally fun and engaging, with satisfying stand-offs and intense swordplay, making every minute a thrilling samurai adventure.

Excellent video game, however the character likes to physically sweat a lot lol. It almost seems like he gets out of the shower whenever anything happens that seems slightly difficult. But yeah super fun game.

Love the combat and the authentic Japanese feel of this Samura revenge story. I sometimes find myself standing on a mountain watching fields of grass blow in the wind. Ghost of Tsushima is a truly breathtaking game.

One of the only games that's brought tears to my eyes when the end credits rolled. This is how you make a good story focused game. The attention to detail, sound and landscape design, character motion and stance were all so beautifully done. You really ought to experience this once before you leave the earth.
