Ghost of Tsushima aims to set itself apart from other first party AAA open world titles, but does it stand out above the rest?
Rumours and murmurings suggest that Ghost of Tsushima 2 will be announced soon. Here is what we'd love to see in the sequel.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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.
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
I have stopped pre-ordering games since Cyberpunk 2077 fiasco...this is a game I will make an exception for...
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
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.
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
An enjoyable counterpart to Ghost Of Tsushima, with some truly excellent combat, but the bloated open world elements can often suffocate your enjoyment.
"Is Just Another Open World Experience" yes but it is one of the best made open world games... it sits easily around 8,5 - 9/10 ...and probably one of the best farewells to a generation of consoles ....left me more memories than 5-6 games together
Puts the Japanese American on the review to explain how this western studio is culturally appropriating. Gives it a 7... Another one of these reviews.
lol, and this review is just another subjective opinion.
my example to counter this would be saying you have a pile of stones but one of them is polished and shiny, that's ghost of tsushima. while you may have other stones like it the other ones aren't as polished and as far as stones go it's what you'd want out of a stone.
at least that's my take on it.
edit: basically the game is good at what it does and you're underrating it just because. If you eat ice cream all day and say oh this is a slightly better flavor but i've been eating ice cream all day so this gets a 7 when it's obviously at least 9 out of 10 ice cream you're not being objective
***Ghost of Tsushimafeels like a tech demo–a showcase of the PlayStation 4’s graphical capabilities, especially through its hefty photo mode and the sheer amount of things you can have on the screen at the same time. However, it lacks the mechanical refinement of most modern AAA titles***
Insanity. I highly question this reviewer's objectivity in this review. It's just laden with poisonous words for the gameplay and anything non-Japanese. I've played a ton of games like this, it's no more "by the numbers" as other games nor does it lack storytelling elements ,but the author infers that there is lacking of it because outside of the story you repetitively fight enemies... like every game of its type out there.
Edit: And to the author, the enemy types are dog, bear, boar, hawk, mongol swordsman, japanese swordsman (very different these two), spearman, shieldman, archer, bomber, brute, captain, bosses/dueling opponents. A bit more than you said in your review. This doesn't include that as you advance in the game the difficulty of these opponents grows with more combos and combat options available to them all.
Edit 2: I don't care about the author's score, it's his words that feel wrought with bitterness of some sort. Like he went in with the intent to impugn everything but the japanese voice acting and the graphics of the game. He represents his opinion lazily and incorrectly throughout.
