I’m absolutely amazed. Ghost of Tsushima was an incredible experience, the praises i could sing for this game are seemingly endless, but i wish to keep this review on the shorter side so i’ll summarize my thoughts. I’ve heard many people call this game “Assassin’s Creed but with a well written plot and excellent gameplay.” Which is mostly true. The combat/core gameplay is excellent, i think Ghost of Tsushima genuinely gave me some of the most fun i’ve had with a core gameplay loop in a while. The plot is absolutely phenomenal, the ending i loved especially (i am so depressed now). the music is phenomenal too, it fits the vibe and time period of the game perfectly. there’s just so much i loved about Ghost of Tsushima, i always doubted it when people said this game deserved game of the year over the last of us part 2, but now i genuinely see it as an even contender (i cannot choose between them, i love them too much.) the performance Daisuke Tsuji gives as Jin Sakai was absolutely amazing, the emotions i formed as i heard his screams during the ending gave me chills.

In short, you can call me a sony dickeater all you want (because i am one), but ghost of tsushima is such a phenomenal game and is easily one of the best games i’ve ever played for a multitude of reasons. i’ll absolutely be going for the platinum trophy on this one as well as playing the dlc.
