Ghost of Tsushima is unforgettable; every element from the fun and engaging combat, the sceneries and sounds intricately woven in such a spectacular way and the cast of incredible actors makes for an extremely special game- one would say a game of a lifetime
I really do have great memories from this game. The combat is key. They nailed it and in doing so made the game excellent. If the combat was more like Assassin's Creed the game would have been a crap simplistic button masher. The combat has real depth and enemies never turn into bullet sponges, the just get more skilled as the game progresses.
I might catch a lot of hate for saying this but I bought this game and honestly got really bored. I tried to get hooked but just couldn’t.
One of my fav games from 2020. I bought it on sale for half price.
Love the art, its such a labour of love. Got half way through and just lost the urge to carry on though.
So I bought this based on the hype and the perfect scores it has received. It is a beautiful world and I had to learn how to fight with very little in ways of a tutorial, which I am fine with. I came up with a style that I enjoyed and started to progress as normal. Suddenly I am thrown into a battle where I cannot use any sub items or moves that I was used to up to that point. I had to learn to be a pure samurai in that instance. In another instance I had to learn how to use a bow with no training after I tracked down the legendary armor, and failed multiple times which led to complete frustration as I could not skip the instance.
The game is excellent, but not being able to skip cutscenes and dialog brings it down a few notches in my opinion. It does have its rage inducing moments, like when you have to save a person while being shot with arrows and being attacked from all sides, there is no skip or moving forward if you fail, and you have to keep trying until you get it right.
