Ghost of Tsushima Review - IGN

Ghost of Tsushima is an absolutely gorgeous open-world action/adventure with incredible combat and clever solutions to longstanding issues in the genre, despite dropping the ball on the stealth side of its stealth/action split.

RazzerRedux1401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

Another kick ass game from Sony! New IP at the end of the generation as well. This is why I buy PlayStation.

@pwnmaster3000

No doubt man. Hard to believe that I just finished TLOU 2 and in three days I'll be playing GoT. Two blockbusters weeks apart. Just awesome.

pwnmaster30001401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

Yeah Sony is leave this era with a bang and I finally made up my mind to pre order the game.

Sony devs is looking really strong for next gen. A lot of them is producing really great games.

@RazzerRedux
I’m so conflicted because I love last of us 2 but haven’t finished it but I really want to play ghost right away.

mikeslemonade1400d ago

PS4 held it back. Should have been a PS5 only game just like TLoU2.

jznrpg1400d ago

@mikeslemon don’t worry , they will support PS5 with a lot of games until the end of the new gen

Army_of_Darkness1400d ago

@mikes

Oh you... Always saying the same sh*t like a broken record at the end of every gen... At least be a little more creative next time?

Marquinho1401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

Will need wait for more reviews. Wonder why IGN's so far above the media in Metacritic (currently 83)

For a new IP, 83 of media is pretty good though.

pwnmaster30001401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

Lol several other sites gave it a 9.
Plus this is sucker punches biggest game...
I predict their next game to be on another level.

RazzerRedux1401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

9 isn't really "far above" 8.3 at all. 83 is a great score for any game, but definitely hard to achieve with new IP.

WillyC0091401d ago

It’s at 85% on OpenCritic

morganfell1401d ago

Reviews are meaningless. They are just opinions and favorable or not they have degenerated into a mere litany if personal likes and dislikes, completely devoid of any objectivity. There is only one reviewer that is of consequence and that is the one you see when you are brushing your teeth.

sushimama1401d ago (Edited 1401d ago )

YOUR BOY Skill Up says it is "astoundingly good" and is one of the best open world games ever made. So now I know you'll be down to play. I know how much you value his opinion.

ACG on youtube loved it too

Marquinho1401d ago Show
SamTheGamer1400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

Now it's 84 based on 86 critic review. Are you gonna buy the game?

starchild1400d ago

@sushimama
I do think Skill Up is one of the better reviewers out there. But ultimately I don't take any reviewer's opinion as the gospel truth.

rainslacker1400d ago (Edited 1400d ago )

.7 is so high over the meta?

1-2 points within meta is generally probably a good sign that it's at least a reasonable review.

ForwardDude1400d ago

It's not coordinated. If every site gave the game exactly 8.3 that would be shaddy.

I can't keep up with all the Sony exclusive games I want to play. I just started Death Stranding (and loving it), and I still have Days Gone, TLOU2, and now GoT to get through before PS5. Damn, good problem to have

1400d ago
-Ghost1401d ago

The wait is almost over 😃 Still remember the day when they revealed it back in 2017 for Paris Games Week

CaptainHenry9161400d ago

Sony knows how to deliver great exclusives

RauLeCreuset1400d ago

Ditto. The last two games I finished were FF7R and TLOU2. Now Ghosts in just a few days. I still have to decide when I'm going to play Iron Man VR. The consistent strength of Sony's catalog over the last four gens would be enough on its own to convince me to invest in PS5.

It does assassin's Creed better than ... assassin's Creed!!!

New IP and Sony nailed it again

sampsonon1401d ago

Now let's hope The Order gets to a sequel and has a tweak or two to the game. Taking chances should be celebrated.

gameslayer24111401d ago

Sadly the studio responsible for the Order is now owned by Facebook, so I dont see us getting the sequel it so rightfully deserves.

Ghost of Tsushima on PC Won't Be Released in Specific Countries Due to PSN, and Here's the List

It seems Ghost of Tsushima on PC will have the same PSN purchasing restrictions that caused massive backlash to Helldivers 2.

H93d ago

People on N4G: just fly to another country, what's the big deal

JL29303d ago

No one cares about 3rd world problems.

INMATEofARKHAM3d ago

There's actually at least one 1st world country on that list and a number of 2nd world countries too. It's almost as if you don't know what defines 1st, 2nd or 3rd world countries... 🤔

JL29303d ago

Ever hear of turn of phrase? English must not be your first language.

H93d ago

If only it was a gender problem

SPEAKxTHExTRUTH2d ago

If I had to guess your age based on your comment I’d say middle schooler.

not available in JAPAN., wtf sony need to sort their sh** out. this is beyond a joke when a samurai game cannot be sold in Japan, something is wrong.

Hugodastrevas3d ago

Yeah, it's all wrong since they may bed to California

StoneTitan2d ago

Because for Japan you have to create a different version. You should look it up. The game is sold in Japan but its not the same storefront. Same with helldivers.
Has something to do with microtransaczion laws.
Look it up.

Hugodastrevas3d ago

Bunch of geniuses running Sony these days... Smh

ocelot073d ago

Got the feeling Sony are half arsing the PC thing. It's that or the whole PC thing is completely lost on them.

wesnytsfs3d ago

Its lost to sony, They have been quite poor at pc releases going all the way back to the OG planetside.

Inverno3d ago

Why tho? The SP works without the need to log into PSN, this was literally announce. So why is it an issue? Simply A. removing the login restriction fixes this, or B. People simply won't play the MP which I don't think people will care much. A better option is A, or even better just lower the game price in those countries to compensate for the lack of MP access.

S2Killinit48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

I would be on it. Especially if they change up the gameplay to differentiate from first game. Loved the first.

Currently enjoying Rise of Ronin.

blackblades46d ago

Both have different gameplay but it amazes me how people kept comparing just because they both are samurai. Seems kinda ...... that im not gonna mention.

Cacabunga46d ago

Bend studios making a gaas game and getting lot of negative comments abt that direction.
I hope these stay faithful to making amazing SP games..

Demetrius46d ago

Definitely getting ronin soon, I'm on my 2nd playthrough of GOT on ps5 this time🔥

-Foxtrot48d ago

Probably my most anticipated to be announced

I hope Jinns story continues and we get way more stealth tactics like dragging bodies away and the like.

Lightning7747d ago

I fully expect this game to be announced. Late 2025 release perhaps.

Either way I can't wait for its announcement at Sony's showcase.

Friendlygamer46d ago (Edited 46d ago )

I'm hoping for more complex interior level design for stealth gameplay and also a more complex stance system that's more than rock paper and scissor for each enemy type

RhinoGamer8846d ago

I have stopped pre-ordering games since Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco...this is a game I will make an exception for...

5 Ways Ghost of Tsushima is Better Than Rise of the Ronin

Sucker Punch's open world epic stands head and shoulders above the most recent game that takes inspiration from it.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my favorite games all time. Hard to live up to that. Not all games are going to be equivalent to some of the best games ever and that’s ok. It is a natural comparison though

Killer2020UK47d ago

Totally agree, as a jaded gamer well into his 30s I didn't think games could hit like Ghost it Tsushima did. I actively avoided story missions in order to pursue every single side quest purely because I didn't want it to end. I wanted to be immersed in that world for as long as it lasted.

JangoMan46d ago

I hate open world games. Its clutter and fatigue. Except GoT.. I completed every thing before going into next main mission. The feeling of playing the game was.... I cant explain. It was perfect

raWfodog47d ago

My favorite jaw-dropping moment was obtaining the Ghost stance. Epic.

JangoMan46d ago

Agreed. Its the dream come true for fans of Samurai and Japan feudal age.

Andrew33647d ago

Got was good but super repetitive.

Juiceid47d ago

Arguably every game is repetitive.
