A side-quest glitched out on me and couldn't be completed, Not as forgiving as typical AAA games,
Ghost of Tsushima is a beautiful, well-crafted samurai epic that weaves addictive open world gameplay into a series of narratives that pay homage to classical Japanese jidaigeki. In the game you live and die by the sword, with a bloody and brutal end for...
Abstract: When we originally heard that developer Sucker Punch was moving away from its tried and tested Infamous franchise, to focus on an original idea for its next game, we were both intrigued and reticent in equal measure.After all, superheroes are still domi...

(Image credit: Sucker Punch Productions/Sony)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...
Abstract: Created by devoted admirers of Japanese samurai cinema at Sucker Punch Productions in Washington, Ghost of Tsushima turns the feudal world of Akira Kurosawa films into a huge, absurdly beautiful game, set during the Mongol invasion of the island of Tsushi...

Abstract: The horse you ronin on.Limited by a rote and rigid world, Sucker Punch's samurai homage pairs okay action with enjoyably committed, if awkwardly fawning melodrama.Quite early on in Ghost of Tsushima, you'll be introduced to its dramatic, one-on-one du...

Sucker Punch took a big gamble in straying so far from its Infamous series and creating an all-new intellectual property in Ghost of Tsushima. Sony has too, by scheduling its release so soon after The Last of Us Part 2. But both have pulled it off.Indeed...

While it has a few notable shortcomings, Ghost of Tsushima is an excellent open-world adventure from Sucker Punch Productions which adds some innovative ideas to a fairly stagnant genre. Its depiction of the time period is generic and inoffensive, but tha...

For a game that's supposed to close out a console generation, Ghost of Tsushima is frustratingly old-fashioned in its design. It looks every bit the stunningly cinematic samurai epic and there's plently of slashy enjoyment to be had here, but it's consta...
I think that your enjoyment of Ghost of Tsushima will come down to how you like the game's structure.If you've played Horizon Zero Dawn and Days Gone, you'll know exactly what to expect.While I understand the comparisons, calling the game “Assassin's Cree...
