Based on historical events, the Mongols invade Japan twice. This was only the first time in 1274 where Mongol forces invade the Island of Tsushima. They do so again 7 years later in 1281. I bet you ANYTHING for PS5, Ghost of Tsushima 2 will be a thing, and we'll be playing as an older Jin Sakai. The Ghost will return.
Can we get a DLC in between (spoilers if you haven’t beaten the game) where you and your Ghost army fight the new samurai clans that are introduced to Tsushima and maybe you as Jin has to regain your trust with the Shogun. It would be a nice lead in to the next game if they do make one. Plus the Ronin in the game are unique because they know counters to your stance, so imagine if they added other samurai into the game as enemies that are more difficult fight then the mongols and ronin that are already in the game.
Or he shaves the main hair off and cosplays the FarCry 5 villain. Thats a televangelist only preaching about movies and videogames. I can get behind that.
Time Magazine probably gave the best compliment/ insult. "Ghost of Tsushima is video game comfort food, like Assassin’s Creed if Assassin’s Creed had a better story, tighter combat, and unique style."
Yes I cleared the 1st Island to the point villagers I saved were sending me to Quest on the second. Chasing the collectibles artifacts flags had me going some nights all night. This game is Great!
@@matthewmoore856 I've been afraid to finish any major story points for fear that some of the side-quests will become unavailable, so I just keep filling out the map and seeing what pops up.
hey you seem like you know what your talking about within the gaming community... Mind rating my top 10 games of 2020? ghost of Tsushima is featured on it too
I never thought that by pressing R2 to pick up and interact with people & objects in the world was so much better than pressing X or any of the buttons. It feel natural especially when on horseback.
@2FingerTuesday I spent most of yesterday just checking all the areas I hadn't cleared yet. I just made it to act 2 last night cuz I've been doing all the tales and looking for all the secrets. Such an amazing game!!
I almost wrote this game off as a pretty Assassin's Creed clone. Glad I gave it a shot. Story and combat are great and the skill trees are awesome. Plus, it loads SO FAST
The story has a ton of historical accuracy. The island of Tsushima was invaded by 20,000 Mongols, up against 80 Samurai and close to 200 warriors in total. While Tsushima was taken the Mongols only made it to the second smaller island and no further. When you think about it using that island would have made for quite a short game, so I think they made the right decision.
How far into the game is this? Do you mean just one of the camp leaders or is this further into the story? I'm about 15 hours in but I've been doing a ton of side quests
The Photo Mode in this game is without a doubt one of the absolute best, of not close to THE best, Photo Modes EVER in any game that has implemented it. And it’s up there with the Photo Mode in games like The Order: 1886.
Cause 99 percent of people don't do lame stuff like photo mode. You want photos then go outside and take a damn picture of real life stuff instead of wacking it to a video game sunset.
Yeah my first ever console game is Infamous second son. Until then i played low rnd pc games. I was blown away when i realised what are the levels gaming has reached in design and gameplay.
I hope we get more fantastic games in the future by them whether it be a sequel to ghost of tsushima which will more then likely happen or just a new game title entirely
@@alifadila3364 why are you commenting? You don't have time, you should be watching Two Towers RIGHT NOW! As someone who was about 15 years late to the party, they really are great movies.
i like how triangle stance is best for dudes with spear and triangle looks like the end of a spear, and circle is best for dudes with shields and a circle is like a shield, and x is best for dudes with swords and x looks like 2 swords, and square is best for dudes who are big and im not sure how this one relates but still pretty cool, i just noticed this.
Dragos Pahontu no, not too much at all. You just get lost in the game. I recommend tho to progress theough the story as much as possible. There are abilities that come later that are beautiful and open the game up. Something very special about this game
Aaron Cutter to be brutally honest I’ve been hot and cold on Naughty Dog since Jak 2. I haven’t played The Last of Us 2 yet so I’ll hold judgement until I actually play it but I’ve never been that big on Naughty Dog unlike most other people.
It was confusing for me the first 5 minutes but after that it felt so much better than the freaking horizontal line map on the top, most games have now.
I noticed that yeah! How Lord Shimura says “your father will be your guiding wind” or something like that and then his mother is something else I forget, very nice though I like that a lot and how family will always be with you to help through hard things. Makes me happy to see how they put that in there.
I feel like the game is too easy by the end with how many abilities you have, so I really want to play through again but they need to add the ability to skip cutscenes with a new game plus
This game was more Assassin's Creed than the last couple Assassin's Creed games. Also SO GLAD you mentioned Kurosawa mode...his influence on the film world is really something to be admired. That mode really added that je ne sais quoi to the game I didn't know I needed. Not that it's bad WITHOUT that mode but....with it...hot damn. It's something else.
To be fair, while it was more of a stealth game than the last assassins creed were, I'm really happy that they changed the assassins creed formula. It got old after revelation and with the exception of black flag, most of the ones after revelations were rather mediocre. I had a blast playing Odyssey. And I did not miss the old ac at all.
I honestly never played a single AC game, but I find hard time believing it is as good as this. Ghost and SPiderman are my 2 favorite PS4 exclusives, system sellers right there. Not exactly Witcher 3, but very satisfying, reminded me a lot of Shadow of Mordor, but with a better more memorable story.
@@SongJiangShiJin I'm glad people are enjoying it. For me personally it was rather tiring completing several hundreds of repetitive quests that feel monotonous. Characters' voice acting feel without emotion and I could not for the love of God invest any interest in them. When it comes to gameplay the issue of repetition is again in play, it looks same after 100 hours. That is why Ghost of Tsushima is absolutely different from the AC genre and if it was an AC title it, it would be the best one in the franchise.
I finally downloaded it on my PS4 Pro and am about 24 hours into it. I had to force myself to get up and urinate and go to sleep, lol My alarm clock is set super early so in just a couple more hours I will be playing Ghost of Tsushima for many more hours. I love this game. 🌚
This game is becoming the best game I have played all my life. I shared tears when I unlock the ghost stance and terrified the enemies. The battle was epic and I was playing in lethal mode
Eww. The game i have to finish thrice to know the whole story, fighting the same bosses? trash game. overrated weabo trash game. i hate that game so bad. i wasted my time.
@@probablyaj the game obviously! i have like 4 games waiting in line begging me to play them but i spent alot of hours on nier just to know the story of a game i already finished! this kind of story telling shouldn't be done. it doesnt respect my time as a gamer. I have other games to play! i would understand if its just two playthroughs, different paths, different bosses but NOOOO. everything is the same except the protagonist. there was some changes, yes. But not worth the playthrough.
The loading screens when you load into the world or fast travel are so fast, its something we are not used to on console I mean when you died on Witcher 3 it would take forever to load back in. That's just another positive.
Yes.. but The Enemies are harder on Hard Mode.. especially on Duel. If you are already familiar with combat mechanic, it could be easier. I beat Ronin on Hard for at least 1 minute, but it just 22 seconds on Lethal. Because they could give you a lot of damage, but you could give them bigger,
To be fair the emphasis on lethal mode is that it’s supposed to be the scenario where both you and the enemies are more lethal towards one another. So it’s a high risk, high reward type game mode.
I'm 40yr old man, and I have watched streaming of Ghost of Tsushima closer to 50hours by now. I love the nature, I love the characters, I love the soul this game has. It's so good, that I feel it's the best game I have ever seen, that is most likely not the case, but I just can't remember anything as completely awesome game right now.
@@MrMichaelGutierrez Are you talking about the new God of War? I thought the puzzles were pretty straight forward and quick to get through in the last one. The other God of Wars definitely had some pain in the ass puzzles though.
Smokey 1419 honestly every ps open world game does it pretty well, I platinumed ghost and Spider-Man just because how fun the open worlds where also horizon is the best kind of open world game I think there is
Cas The Demon I don’t think it has the best combat but it’s serviceable, you can say the same about the Witcher. Ghost of Tsushima though has amazing combat
Something I didn't realize until half way through, is the weather aspect. The MORE you embrace the ghost, the more turbulent and stormy the weather becomes at all times. Games a masterpiece.
First game I ever platinumed. A cinematic masterpiece. A tale of loss, family, honor, and the consequences in between. Yes, even though we have seen these open world gameplay elements before, never have they been done so well. A true Tour De Force in game design
@@Local_commentor I did my first play through on normal and then went to hard for the second. Seeing your comment has made me want to go back to this game so thanks 😁
I wish more game designers would GET this: The best games are often the ones in which there are pieces, large pieces, even whole ways of playing that a first-time player can completely miss. I know your texture design department spent a lot of time and money on the world; you can still let people fast travel. You have stealth close-kill, stealth distance-kill, AND open melee tactics? Let the player choose how they want to play it! Forcing the player to do something BECAUSE you put it in the game and you demand that they appreciate it is how you get GTA 4, or worse.
I didn't care for GTA 4 because it removed a ton of the pure fun from the previous games. We went from lifting weights, riding bikes, learning kung-fu, driving tanks in San Andreas to bowling and playing darts. You could only play 4 straight laced there was no deviation. I understand it was the tone they were going for but it felt bland.
@@Mcgriffin67 It's a matter of preference then, because I love it despite wasting hundreds of hours in San Andreas. GTA V could have been better but they took some small steps back for that game, in terms of physics.
@@Mcgriffin67 gosh, thousands I guess, PS3 + PC. I think it's the mods and the physics that made me love the game more than San Andreas. I didn't play any of the minigames, I just keep driving around and playing against the cops inside the hospital. I also replayed the story about 7 times until I found a mod in PC that lets you choose which missions you want to replay without making another save. I do understand the complaints about the game. The downsized map and the decreased mini games were quite a turn off.
Well this comment contains ENDING SPOILERS....... Anyways I hope it continues with him on the run from the shogun and he has to deal with a separate threat with the shogun on him and the shogun they don't just want jin but everyone who betrayed them and I personally really liked jin and yuna and I am excited to see where the squeal takes them
It’s so refreshing to actually see someone show appreciation and enthusiasm for a game for once. I don’t know, I feel like my favorite game websites are so jaded about every game that comes out, and then they give game of the year to a fucking tetris screensaver. Thank you for your review, Jeremy.
This really felt like a much needed palette cleaner after the massive disappointment and narrative mess of TLOU2, for me (even though that honor goes to The Messenger as well). An absolutely epic and enthralling Samurai tale to take part in.
This is why Jeremy has been the only reviewer I like checking out. He is so honest and pure he just tells it how it is. Even if he talks bad he has valid points and offers alternative options. The man is a treasure.
Great swan song for the generation. They really nailed it again. The PS3 ended with The Last of Us and the PS4 ends with Ghost of Tsushima. Incredible. Sony killed it this generation and I can't wait for the PS5.
Yes but it actually has sole and heart put into it. If ubisoft made a feudal Japan AC it would be bland, lifeless, grindy side missions, half ass RPG mechanics and painfully mediocre and forgettable in terms of story, character and intrigue. Suckerpunch really knocked it out of the park with this one, making it into my top 10 favourite games of all time (newer ac titles have never even got close)
You can see the optimism, sheer awe and smiles of everyone playing this game. Everyone came out of this game wanting more, positive, and simply happy. Now that is the mark of a great game. When everyone can empathize and agree together. Not unlike a certain dumpster fire that just came out and failed completely because it prioritized political agenda and shock value.
@@mohamedtahlawy3728 I loved the part where you play as a 200Ib trans friendly character who beats the shit out of two lesbians that were half her size. Such amazing LGBT representation
This would be funny if it even made any sense, tho considering the Last of Us part 2 set record sales and has high critical acclaim I’m not seeing where it “failed completely”🤨 The only thing I can see that it failed at was pleasing the irrelevant basement dwelling neckbeards
@@mishoa1 If you want to talk sales, TLOU2 has completely failed in Asia (which has the biggest video game market on the planet). They hate the game. Did you see that Korean streamer guy who pulled out the disk and literally cut it up with scissors while on stream? The game is a failure to a large portion of the world.
This is my first ever game that I Platinumed. I always play games to enjoy the story, but Ghost of Tsushima consumed me so much that I couldn't stop playing. Hands down this was a masterpiece!
Ubisoft games: large open world with annoyance masked as quest and monetization/grinding GOT: large open world with compelling missions and liberated areas that actually stay liberated, while you can still find patrols randomly, where you feel immersed and not grinding at all. That is the fundamental difference between making a game and making a cashgrab recycling the same game every year or 2.
After Valhalla, I could really see beyond all doubt how many corners were being cut in the AC games. the environment looks detailed, but it's not crafted with anything like the same care. It's a cluttered, random mess. The traversal, parkour, and combat are just lifted from previous games with a few additions. And for the most part, they just haven't been polished to feel good. Compare riding a horse in Valhalla with the thuddy, satisfying ride in RDR2 or Ghost. Game feel is hard to quantify, but it's so important. And Valhalla just feels weightless and cheap. But mostly, Valhalla just has this pervasive feel that it hasn't been polished. The environment feels sloppily thrown together. The game play feels more like a tasks list. And the quests ramble on with little structure or pacing. They're occasionally interesting, but even the best AC game has nothing like the weighty story that Ghost had. They're just endless rehash of vague philosophies about order vs chaos. They're all conceptual stories rather than personal ones. Ghost, on the other hand, puts its protagonist right in the center of a crystal clear dilemma, torn between his between duty to traditional honor and his duty to protect his people. It's a conceptual dilemma, but it also uproots his very identity, in a way that's emotionally accessible to the player. We feel deeply engrossed in Jin Sakai's inner conflict. That's an experience I've never once had with an AC game. Maybe Odyssey a little bit. But Odyssey resolves its emotional conflict in a distinctly unsatisfactory way. You either make up with your family, or you end up alone. It does nothing to explore the emotional ramifications of either choice, good or bad, or unpack the larger personal, social, or political issues around them. Ghost does all of that, repeatedly, throughout the game, at every level. Literally every aspect of the game, from combat-vs-stealth to the costumes and collectables to every single side-quest, brings you back to contemplating the conflict between honor and survival. Mostly, AC games are just a progression of errands to run and fights to win. Occassionally, an enemy might have a nasty little philosophical rant to get your blood boiling, but that's as emotionally engaging as it's going to get. The rest is just random scavenger hunts, mediocre stealth puzzles, and enemies to fight. And maybe a halfway decent boss fight once or twice a game. It's just not enough. The thing is, I'd agree that they need more time between projects, but I don't think it would help. Even if these games had more polish, more thought and care in the environments, less empty grinding, they'd still have the core problem of just being weak, paper-thin stories. AC has charming, charismatic main characters, but they're no good at actual character. Once they've conceived and cast a likeable protagonist, they think their job is done. So those protagonists don't go anywhere. They eventually run into the "mystery" of the AC backstory lore, and maybe learn they're are the reincarnation of some crap or other, and that's as far as they get. None of it means anything, because the back story is meaningless. It's going anywhere or saying anything emotionally resonant about the human condition. As with most "mysterious" backstories, core fans hang on forever, dreaming that where it's all headed will blow their mind. Spoiler alert: There will be no reveal. Like JJ Abrams' mystery box, the secret is that there's nothing of worth inside. They're selling you wrapping paper and an empty promise.
This is the game I've wanted my whole life. I've grown up playing Way of the Samurai and the Tenchu games. My favorite anime of all time is Rurouni Kenshin. So, this is exactly what I've been looking for. We finally have the Red Dead Redemption of Samurai films.
Just stopped and realized thag the each of the stance buttons makes sense regarding the contexts in which they're used: the triangle is a the tip of a spear, the circle is a shield, the "X" is strike or slice of a sword or swords, and the square represents the "blocky" nature of a brute. Beautiful.

One thing I love about this game that I don’t see many people talk about is the order you do the story gives you bonus dialogue in the side quests. I did a little less than half of the side quests before finishing the main story. And while doing the side quests, characters mention events of the main story and how it effects them. I’m sure if you do all the side quests first it’s different, I just thought that was cool.
Christiaan Bell Well halfway through the story is not groundbreaking but told pretty well while the world is downright gorgeous. It is a bit distracting when Tale cutscenes to the “cut to black” transition, but the stories are usually engaging enough to excuse them.
Ghost of Tsushima is the Assassin's Creed game that I want. I was a huge fan of the series until Sydicate. This game brought me that same feeling I had when I first played AC2.
I pretty much boycotted AC because they refused to go to Japan. I got suckered in for Odyssey because I love the peloponnesian war. But I won't buy another one. Ubisoft can develop an AC in Japan, it won't matter. Sucker Punch did this game justice to the point that developers/critics in Japan love it and wish they had done it. As for AC now, well the story sucks, the combat sucks, the artifacts of Eden and first civilization story aren't going anywhere, they didn't even conclude what happened with Juno or Minerva in a game (was released in a damn comic), their microtransactions are an insult, season passes are BS just give us the full game like GoT has done. The list can go on and on.
The Ubisoft of old is dead, instead replaced by an uglier piece of trailer trash. AC didn't need an RPG overhaul, what they did in Unity was perfect, but they had to change it because, money.
@@phoenixarising9809 Well Unity is style over substance and the protagonist is a SIMP. Only Origins was a worthy time after Black Flag, ironically made by the same game dev team.
I'm playing through it right now and loving it! I can't stop gushing about how freaking beautiful this game is! And you're absolutely right about the swinging camera angles! It makes it a bit harder to fight but I just roll around in another direction so I don't get hit and problem solved.
"I'm really sad it's over. Like over, over, Platinum done over." I just got Platinum on God of War a few days ago and that is exactly how I feel. I even went over and above and did some stuff that wasn't required for Platinum like completing all Labors and fully upgrading my Invaldi's Deadly Mist armor set. That feel when you really want more content :( At least there is still New Game +.
Start ng+ in Give Me God of War difficulty and work towards the Zeus Armor. Beating Sigrun in the hardest difficulty is the true end of the game and is very satisfying. Honestly I had even more fun playing the game the second time with that difficulty.
3 роки тому+1
Lol I remember when I platinumed this game. The Sigrun battle was the last piece of the puzzle, when that prompt came to finish her off it was a surreal feeling.
It's very cool how this game manages to make it feel like you're getting better at the game, alongside all the new stuff you get. I mean, in some games it just feels like your character is getting more powerful.. and sure, it's the same thing in this game too, but at the same time, I felt like I was the one progressing equal amounts. Even between any new skills, there was this learning curve where you clearly mastered a tool as well as your overall toolset again and again. Idk if I managed to explain it well tbh. But in short; The progression felt immensely satisfying and miraculously managed to keep it up unusually well through the entire game. Currently replaying the game on Lethal difficulty and it still keeps on being incredible. I love that the difficulty doesn't only make enemies hits more deadly, but yours as well, so it feels fair, but doubly deadly if facing numerous enemies.
I'm in love with this game. I completed this game with 100% trophies, and accidently overwrote my completed game. So now I'm playing over again from scratch and I completely love it. My favorite armor sets are Gosaku armor, mainly for serious battles, and the Traveler's Attire with my ashen straw hat, black thief mask and black shader. I love the shaders in this game too. This game is everything. I may play it over again a third time
I’ve never found myself buying a game and using it as a walking sim It’s so relaxing and I love it, I am currently in act three and doing the occasional side missions
Awesometacular review! Thank you! I just bought it recently and I am having a GREAT time with it! Your review made me loved it even more (I thought it couldn't be possible).
Hey Jeremy really cool note on the stances (small but really awesome detail) each stance is a layer beginning with the earth and extending into the heavens... From The "stone" of a river bed to the "water" flowing above, to the "wind" blowing across the water surface, and the "moon" in the heavens controlling the tides. Each layer governing the one beneath. That shit is just next level lol your channel is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam PERIOD!!!
Just that moment? And both ends as well... wow! I also wasnt ready for the lose of a friend... never ending story vibs. That isnt even it I could roll on the point is i loved all the characters and the people who were suffering in this conflict
That's why this story works and is a breath of fresh air in contrast to other "stories" that came out recently. It is a pure, blockbuster war epic in Feudal Japan with characters that are fully fleshed out and sympathetic as well as empathetic, especially when you learn of their back stories which handles dark and mature themes with care and nuance without being vulgar or blunt about it. And it happens to be satisfying by the end, with a raw yet powerful connective sync of gameplay and narrative working together to really make you a part of that story. Loved every minute of this game and appreciate it for introducing more people to actual historical events through the power of fictitious storytelling.
That tittle card when you start to explore the game... Going out to from the trees into the white grass field with yellow leave trees far away while riding the horse... The music, the pace, the shifts from cinematic and then giving the control to you then the tittle came out... What a true cinematic thrills... Give me goosebumps... Nothing beats that opening video game tittle card sequence...
True game of the year after playing both. Fell in love with the games environment and combat. Only 2 bad points are some animations non combat and no lock on. 9.3/10 has a little bit of everything really makes you feel like city wok
Based on historical events, the Mongols invade Japan twice. This was only the first time in 1274 where Mongol forces invade the Island of Tsushima. They do so again 7 years later in 1281. I bet you ANYTHING for PS5, Ghost of Tsushima 2 will be a thing, and we'll be playing as an older Jin Sakai. The Ghost will return.
I sure freaking hope so! That ending made want so much more!
That would be badass. They'd be begging for him to come back and do what he does best.
I'm assuming GoT part 2 would be killing the Shogun? Cause they're going to hunt you til the end of days.
Can we get a DLC in between (spoilers if you haven’t beaten the game) where you and your Ghost army fight the new samurai clans that are introduced to Tsushima and maybe you as Jin has to regain your trust with the Shogun.
It would be a nice lead in to the next game if they do make one. Plus the Ronin in the game are unique because they know counters to your stance, so imagine if they added other samurai into the game as enemies that are more difficult fight then the mongols and ronin that are already in the game.
It could start with Jin waking up to his house is being burnt down and him being dragged away

The only reason anyone needs to get this game: The Ghost of Yarikawa mission, one of the best mission in game history period
The story has a ton of historical accuracy. The island of Tsushima was invaded by 20,000 Mongols, up against 80 Samurai and close to 200 warriors in total. While Tsushima was taken the Mongols only made it to the second smaller island and no further. When you think about it using that island would have made for quite a short game, so I think they made the right decision.
DLC ?
Second Island dlc
Yep GoT nailed it for a historical fiction game. Also the game has a lot of characters based off of Japanese legends such as Kojiro.
Well if I had to guess the second iland is Iki for the exspansion they added

billy20069 I have 15 go of screenshots xD
The Photo Mode in this game is without a doubt one of the absolute best, of not close to THE best, Photo Modes EVER in any game that has implemented it. And it’s up there with the Photo Mode in games like The Order: 1886.
huskytzu I don’t even know how many I have now 😂
Keiji Johnson hzd has a good photo mode
Cause 99 percent of people don't do lame stuff like photo mode. You want photos then go outside and take a damn picture of real life stuff instead of wacking it to a video game sunset.
I'm happy to see SuckerPunch get the love they deserve.
Hell yeah
These guys really need some more attention in terms of sony's game studios
they are really underrated developers
Yeah my first ever console game is Infamous second son. Until then i played low rnd pc games. I was blown away when i realised what are the levels gaming has reached in design and gameplay.
I hope we get more fantastic games in the future by them whether it be a sequel to ghost of tsushima which will more then likely happen or just a new game title entirely
I already loved infamous and they just made another banger
This game really has good emotionally side stories.

I like how the guiding wind is your father showing you the way
And the "golden birds" is your mother showing you the way as well.

It was confusing for me the first 5 minutes but after that it felt so much better than the freaking horizontal line map on the top, most games have now.
I noticed that yeah! How Lord Shimura says “your father will be your guiding wind” or something like that and then his mother is something else I forget, very nice though I like that a lot and how family will always be with you to help through hard things. Makes me happy to see how they put that in there.
All this game needs is a New game plus added later like God of War.

Yo, after playing this game, I got a whole new appreciation of the Samurai roots of the Jedi.
I kept thinking the same thing!
Ghost =Sith Ninja
This game was more Assassin's Creed than the last couple Assassin's Creed games. Also SO GLAD you mentioned Kurosawa mode...his influence on the film world is really something to be admired. That mode really added that je ne sais quoi to the game I didn't know I needed. Not that it's bad WITHOUT that mode but....with it...hot damn. It's something else.
To be fair, while it was more of a stealth game than the last assassins creed were, I'm really happy that they changed the assassins creed formula. It got old after revelation and with the exception of black flag, most of the ones after revelations were rather mediocre.
I had a blast playing Odyssey. And I did not miss the old ac at all.
SongJiangShiJin same Bayek was a great character and Odyssey was ridiculously fun.
I honestly never played a single AC game, but I find hard time believing it is as good as this. Ghost and SPiderman are my 2 favorite PS4 exclusives, system sellers right there. Not exactly Witcher 3, but very satisfying, reminded me a lot of Shadow of Mordor, but with a better more memorable story.
@@SongJiangShiJin I'm glad people are enjoying it. For me personally it was rather tiring completing several hundreds of repetitive quests that feel monotonous. Characters' voice acting feel without emotion and I could not for the love of God invest any interest in them. When it comes to gameplay the issue of repetition is again in play, it looks same after 100 hours. That is why Ghost of Tsushima is absolutely different from the AC genre and if it was an AC title it, it would be the best one in the franchise.
Nice
“This game consumed me.” Nuff said lmao. About 10 hrs in
I finally downloaded it on my PS4 Pro and am about 24 hours into it. I had to force myself to get up and urinate and go to sleep, lol
My alarm clock is set super early so in just a couple more hours I will be playing Ghost of Tsushima for many more hours. I love this game. 🌚
This game is becoming the best game I have played all my life. I shared tears when I unlock the ghost stance and terrified the enemies. The battle was epic and I was playing in lethal mode
better than rdr 2 ?
Jeremy's post-game depression is so relatable. That was me after nier automata
Lol I felt exactly the same about both games.
Eww. The game i have to finish thrice to know the whole story, fighting the same bosses? trash game. overrated weabo trash game. i hate that game so bad. i wasted my time.
@@rhovenom04 who hurt you?
@Gunnar most filipinos dont eat cereal. including me. joke invalid.
@@probablyaj the game obviously! i have like 4 games waiting in line begging me to play them but i spent alot of hours on nier just to know the story of a game i already finished! this kind of story telling shouldn't be done. it doesnt respect my time as a gamer. I have other games to play! i would understand if its just two playthroughs, different paths, different bosses but NOOOO. everything is the same except the protagonist. there was some changes, yes. But not worth the playthrough.
The loading screens when you load into the world or fast travel are so fast, its something we are not used to on console I mean when you died on Witcher 3 it would take forever to load back in. That's just another positive.
i have to point this out as well the loading times are so fast i can get back up onto a lost duel which was really fun no waiting time 💯
The loading time is all I think about now lol
I know I go to press right to read the second tip and the games already loaded up.
This game is in a different level when you play in lethal mode
Duels/boss battles are harder on hard
Eh not really tbh. It never really felt like I was struggling much compared to hard mode.
Yes.. but The Enemies are harder on Hard Mode.. especially on Duel.
If you are already familiar with combat mechanic, it could be easier.
I beat Ronin on Hard for at least 1 minute, but it just 22 seconds on Lethal.
Because they could give you a lot of damage, but you could give them bigger,
To be fair the emphasis on lethal mode is that it’s supposed to be the scenario where both you and the enemies are more lethal towards one another. So it’s a high risk, high reward type game mode.
Lejend Dairy so basically Sekiro
I'm 40yr old man, and I have watched streaming of Ghost of Tsushima closer to 50hours by now. I love the nature, I love the characters, I love the soul this game has. It's so good, that I feel it's the best game I have ever seen, that is most likely not the case, but I just can't remember anything as completely awesome game right now.
Hey, if you like this game check out God of War 4 and The Witcher 3. Ghost of Tsushima is definitely in my top 5 gamers now.
@@MrMichaelGutierrez Are you talking about the new God of War? I thought the puzzles were pretty straight forward and quick to get through in the last one. The other God of Wars definitely had some pain in the ass puzzles though.
I played and platinumed it. If Cyberpunk doesn't steal it could be my GOTY.
This and Spider-Man are the only games I have platinumed.
relax cyberpunk will give GoT fair chance since cyberpunk nominated for 2021 GOTY awards...
Don't worry, Cyberpunk probably won't come out in time to be GOTY
@Dragon Ball Super Bandai Official I thought it was supposed to come out on the 19th of November?
great game but a bit too easy. At one point I actually double checked if I am playing on hard, it just felt easy.
I haven't played a game since Witcher 3 that got me this invested in an open world.
This is exactly how I feel! I'm so sick of open world games at this point but this game is such a breath of fresh air into the genre.
Breath of the Wild for me. I'm just glad more games are getting the open world genre right, this one feels very satisfying.
Smokey 1419 honestly every ps open world game does it pretty well, I platinumed ghost and Spider-Man just because how fun the open worlds where also horizon is the best kind of open world game I think there is
@@huhhuh364 I hate the combat in HZD but the scenery and story are great.
Cas The Demon I don’t think it has the best combat but it’s serviceable, you can say the same about the Witcher. Ghost of Tsushima though has amazing combat
Something I didn't realize until half way through, is the weather aspect. The MORE you embrace the ghost, the more turbulent and stormy the weather becomes at all times. Games a masterpiece.
First game I ever platinumed. A cinematic masterpiece. A tale of loss, family, honor, and the consequences in between. Yes, even though we have seen these open world gameplay elements before, never have they been done so well. A true Tour De Force in game design
Talking about samurai, you literally look like Tom Cruise in The Last Samurai now
fitrah zulkarnain kinda 🤣
Lol you're right! He just finished meeting with Katsumoto I think 🤣
Lol
Oh cool, a “Day of the Samurai” reference. Always felt that was an underrated B:TAS episode.
And great review, Jeremy. Knew this game would be cool.
The combat in this game never gets old because it’s still easy to die if you don’t focus. Makes your victories so satisfying knowing you’ve earned it
So true just started replaying it. Forgot how easy dieing is 😅

Definitely need an NG+. It would do nothing but good for Ghost of Tsushima.
I wish more game designers would GET this: The best games are often the ones in which there are pieces, large pieces, even whole ways of playing that a first-time player can completely miss. I know your texture design department spent a lot of time and money on the world; you can still let people fast travel. You have stealth close-kill, stealth distance-kill, AND open melee tactics? Let the player choose how they want to play it! Forcing the player to do something BECAUSE you put it in the game and you demand that they appreciate it is how you get GTA 4, or worse.
Wait what's wrong with GTA 4 in terms of this regard? I actually love the game, just curious lol
I didn't care for GTA 4 because it removed a ton of the pure fun from the previous games. We went from lifting weights, riding bikes, learning kung-fu, driving tanks in San Andreas to bowling and playing darts. You could only play 4 straight laced there was no deviation. I understand it was the tone they were going for but it felt bland.
@@Mcgriffin67 It's a matter of preference then, because I love it despite wasting hundreds of hours in San Andreas. GTA V could have been better but they took some small steps back for that game, in terms of physics.
@@CLA82529 how many hours do you think you sunk in GTA 4?
@@Mcgriffin67 gosh, thousands I guess, PS3 + PC. I think it's the mods and the physics that made me love the game more than San Andreas. I didn't play any of the minigames, I just keep driving around and playing against the cops inside the hospital. I also replayed the story about 7 times until I found a mod in PC that lets you choose which missions you want to replay without making another save.
I do understand the complaints about the game. The downsized map and the decreased mini games were quite a turn off.
The only game where I literally stop playing and just take a moment to breathe in the scenery. It is gorgeous.
I do it every time after climbing up to a shrine... breathtaking.

It’s so refreshing to actually see someone show appreciation and enthusiasm for a game for once. I don’t know, I feel like my favorite game websites are so jaded about every game that comes out, and then they give game of the year to a fucking tetris screensaver. Thank you for your review, Jeremy.
This really felt like a much needed palette cleaner after the massive disappointment and narrative mess of TLOU2, for me (even though that honor goes to The Messenger as well). An absolutely epic and enthralling Samurai tale to take part in.

"I studied the blade": The Game
This is my game of the year so far. Sucker Punch has now made three of my favorite games of all time.
Great swan song for the generation. They really nailed it again. The PS3 ended with The Last of Us and the PS4 ends with Ghost of Tsushima. Incredible. Sony killed it this generation and I can't wait for the PS5.

Yes but it actually has sole and heart put into it. If ubisoft made a feudal Japan AC it would be bland, lifeless, grindy side missions, half ass RPG mechanics and painfully mediocre and forgettable in terms of story, character and intrigue.

Same here the game makes me want to see every inch of the world!
This is my first ever game that I Platinumed. I always play games to enjoy the story, but Ghost of Tsushima consumed me so much that I couldn't stop playing. Hands down this was a masterpiece!
Ubisoft games: large open world with annoyance masked as quest and monetization/grinding
GOT: large open world with compelling missions and liberated areas that actually stay liberated, while you can still find patrols randomly, where you feel immersed and not grinding at all.
That is the fundamental difference between making a game and making a cashgrab recycling the same game every year or 2.
After Valhalla, I could really see beyond all doubt how many corners were being cut in the AC games. the environment looks detailed, but it's not crafted with anything like the same care. It's a cluttered, random mess. The traversal, parkour, and combat are just lifted from previous games with a few additions. And for the most part, they just haven't been polished to feel good. Compare riding a horse in Valhalla with the thuddy, satisfying ride in RDR2 or Ghost. Game feel is hard to quantify, but it's so important. And Valhalla just feels weightless and cheap.
But mostly, Valhalla just has this pervasive feel that it hasn't been polished. The environment feels sloppily thrown together. The game play feels more like a tasks list. And the quests ramble on with little structure or pacing. They're occasionally interesting, but even the best AC game has nothing like the weighty story that Ghost had. They're just endless rehash of vague philosophies about order vs chaos. They're all conceptual stories rather than personal ones.
Ghost, on the other hand, puts its protagonist right in the center of a crystal clear dilemma, torn between his between duty to traditional honor and his duty to protect his people. It's a conceptual dilemma, but it also uproots his very identity, in a way that's emotionally accessible to the player. We feel deeply engrossed in Jin Sakai's inner conflict. That's an experience I've never once had with an AC game. Maybe Odyssey a little bit. But Odyssey resolves its emotional conflict in a distinctly unsatisfactory way. You either make up with your family, or you end up alone. It does nothing to explore the emotional ramifications of either choice, good or bad, or unpack the larger personal, social, or political issues around them. Ghost does all of that, repeatedly, throughout the game, at every level. Literally every aspect of the game, from combat-vs-stealth to the costumes and collectables to every single side-quest, brings you back to contemplating the conflict between honor and survival.
Mostly, AC games are just a progression of errands to run and fights to win. Occassionally, an enemy might have a nasty little philosophical rant to get your blood boiling, but that's as emotionally engaging as it's going to get. The rest is just random scavenger hunts, mediocre stealth puzzles, and enemies to fight. And maybe a halfway decent boss fight once or twice a game. It's just not enough.
The thing is, I'd agree that they need more time between projects, but I don't think it would help. Even if these games had more polish, more thought and care in the environments, less empty grinding, they'd still have the core problem of just being weak, paper-thin stories. AC has charming, charismatic main characters, but they're no good at actual character. Once they've conceived and cast a likeable protagonist, they think their job is done. So those protagonists don't go anywhere. They eventually run into the "mystery" of the AC backstory lore, and maybe learn they're are the reincarnation of some crap or other, and that's as far as they get. None of it means anything, because the back story is meaningless. It's going anywhere or saying anything emotionally resonant about the human condition. As with most "mysterious" backstories, core fans hang on forever, dreaming that where it's all headed will blow their mind. Spoiler alert: There will be no reveal. Like JJ Abrams' mystery box, the secret is that there's nothing of worth inside. They're selling you wrapping paper and an empty promise.

This is the game I've wanted my whole life. I've grown up playing Way of the Samurai and the Tenchu games. My favorite anime of all time is Rurouni Kenshin. So, this is exactly what I've been looking for. We finally have the Red Dead Redemption of Samurai films.
Just stopped and realized thag the each of the stance buttons makes sense regarding the contexts in which they're used: the triangle is a the tip of a spear, the circle is a shield, the "X" is strike or slice of a sword or swords, and the square represents the "blocky" nature of a brute. Beautiful.

One thing I love about this game that I don’t see many people talk about is the order you do the story gives you bonus dialogue in the side quests. I did a little less than half of the side quests before finishing the main story. And while doing the side quests, characters mention events of the main story and how it effects them. I’m sure if you do all the side quests first it’s different, I just thought that was cool.
The best mechanic of this game is the horse running beside you when you whistle for it.
Ghost of Tsushima is the Breath of the Wild of the PS4. I loved every second of this game
Promethyus_ Not even close. More like a second Horizon Zero Dawn.
Really? Because Botw is my fav game. So thats awesome to know!
Christiaan Bell Well more like there’s a natural “exploration-heavy” way to uncover your island. Can’t climb everything though.
Ben Wasserman but as far as the open world and story goes?
Christiaan Bell Well halfway through the story is not groundbreaking but told pretty well while the world is downright gorgeous. It is a bit distracting when Tale cutscenes to the “cut to black” transition, but the stories are usually engaging enough to excuse them.
Ghost of Tsushima is the Assassin's Creed game that I want. I was a huge fan of the series until Sydicate. This game brought me that same feeling I had when I first played AC2.
I pretty much boycotted AC because they refused to go to Japan. I got suckered in for Odyssey because I love the peloponnesian war. But I won't buy another one. Ubisoft can develop an AC in Japan, it won't matter. Sucker Punch did this game justice to the point that developers/critics in Japan love it and wish they had done it.
As for AC now, well the story sucks, the combat sucks, the artifacts of Eden and first civilization story aren't going anywhere, they didn't even conclude what happened with Juno or Minerva in a game (was released in a damn comic), their microtransactions are an insult, season passes are BS just give us the full game like GoT has done. The list can go on and on.
i’ll never forget that ac2 title screen feel for the first time
The Ubisoft of old is dead, instead replaced by an uglier piece of trailer trash. AC didn't need an RPG overhaul, what they did in Unity was perfect, but they had to change it because, money.
@@phoenixarising9809 Well Unity is style over substance and the protagonist is a SIMP. Only Origins was a worthy time after Black Flag, ironically made by the same game dev team.

I'm playing through it right now and loving it! I can't stop gushing about how freaking beautiful this game is! And you're absolutely right about the swinging camera angles! It makes it a bit harder to fight but I just roll around in another direction so I don't get hit and problem solved.

"I'm really sad it's over. Like over, over, Platinum done over."
I just got Platinum on God of War a few days ago and that is exactly how I feel. I even went over and above and did some stuff that wasn't required for Platinum like completing all Labors and fully upgrading my Invaldi's Deadly Mist armor set. That feel when you really want more content :( At least there is still New Game +.
I hated that valkryie queen boss battle so much lol
Start ng+ in Give Me God of War difficulty and work towards the Zeus Armor. Beating Sigrun in the hardest difficulty is the true end of the game and is very satisfying. Honestly I had even more fun playing the game the second time with that difficulty.
Lol I remember when I platinumed this game. The Sigrun battle was the last piece of the puzzle, when that prompt came to finish her off it was a surreal feeling.
@ SAME! I felt like I punched through a MOUNTAIN!
It's very cool how this game manages to make it feel like you're getting better at the game, alongside all the new stuff you get.
I mean, in some games it just feels like your character is getting more powerful.. and sure, it's the same thing in this game too, but at the same time, I felt like I was the one progressing equal amounts. Even between any new skills, there was this learning curve where you clearly mastered a tool as well as your overall toolset again and again.
Idk if I managed to explain it well tbh. But in short; The progression felt immensely satisfying and miraculously managed to keep it up unusually well through the entire game.
Currently replaying the game on Lethal difficulty and it still keeps on being incredible. I love that the difficulty doesn't only make enemies hits more deadly, but yours as well, so it feels fair, but doubly deadly if facing numerous enemies.
Can't stop staring at that gap in his upper stash.
Can't unsee it :(
As opposed to his lower stash?
You know, we never ended up hearing your thoughts on Red Dead Redemption 2, Jeremy.
My friend and I played so much we were dreaming about it
Dude i was having dreams about flicking blood off my Katana and sheathing it.
Bro sameee🤣💀
All of you are more weeb than the real weebs lmao
I'm in love with this game. I completed this game with 100% trophies, and accidently overwrote my completed game. So now I'm playing over again from scratch and I completely love it. My favorite armor sets are Gosaku armor, mainly for serious battles, and the Traveler's Attire with my ashen straw hat, black thief mask and black shader. I love the shaders in this game too. This game is everything. I may play it over again a third time
Your reviews are always bang on. 100% feels. Nearly finished GoT, and loving it.
Top UA-cam channel for me, right here.
Yk the black and white mode is a cool homage but the lighting and colors in the game are just so fucking pretty it’s hard to turn it off
Hope you’re being safe brother. Seattle is looking a little like Portland.
No joke I would travel to north Korea before Seattle or portland
Tyler Smith said no one ever
@@tylersmith9868 what?? 😂😂
@@vplgery I'd say you heard me but it's written right there
Tyler Smith great comment
I’ve never found myself buying a game and using it as a walking sim
It’s so relaxing and I love it, I am currently in act three and doing the occasional side missions
Awesometacular review! Thank you! I just bought it recently and I am having a GREAT time with it! Your review made me loved it even more (I thought it couldn't be possible).
Love Jeremy's Casey Jones reference "oh boy Leftovers"🔥
Beginning of lockdown Jeremy be lookin like john wick
Pretty sure by Christmas, he be lookin like Hagrid
Fun little detail: thunderstorms happen frequently when you do the way of the ghost more than the way of the samurai
Wow, mind blown. I was wondering why it was always raining.
Hey Jeremy really cool note on the stances (small but really awesome detail) each stance is a layer beginning with the earth and extending into the heavens... From The "stone" of a river bed to the "water" flowing above, to the "wind" blowing across the water surface, and the "moon" in the heavens controlling the tides. Each layer governing the one beneath. That shit is just next level lol your channel is one of my favorite channels on UA-cam PERIOD!!!
The end of Act 2 ripped my heart out.
Also the ending to this game legit had me in man tears bruh.
Just that moment? And both ends as well... wow! I also wasnt ready for the lose of a friend... never ending story vibs. That isnt even it I could roll on the point is i loved all the characters and the people who were suffering in this conflict
@@guyverxx oh god the loss of a friend was so heartbreaking. I cried. Legit
The end of act 2 and 3 made me chop onions..
Act 2s ending hit the hardest for me though..
Did you choose L2? I cried fam
That's why this story works and is a breath of fresh air in contrast to other "stories" that came out recently. It is a pure, blockbuster war epic in Feudal Japan with characters that are fully fleshed out and sympathetic as well as empathetic, especially when you learn of their back stories which handles dark and mature themes with care and nuance without being vulgar or blunt about it. And it happens to be satisfying by the end, with a raw yet powerful connective sync of gameplay and narrative working together to really make you a part of that story. Loved every minute of this game and appreciate it for introducing more people to actual historical events through the power of fictitious storytelling.
That tittle card when you start to explore the game... Going out to from the trees into the white grass field with yellow leave trees far away while riding the horse... The music, the pace, the shifts from cinematic and then giving the control to you then the tittle came out... What a true cinematic thrills... Give me goosebumps... Nothing beats that opening video game tittle card sequence...
Nice to see more clips of the game reviewed in the video.
True game of the year after playing both. Fell in love with the games environment and combat. Only 2 bad points are some animations non combat and no lock on.
9.3/10 has a little bit of everything really makes you feel like city wok
I had a feeling Jeremy would like this game but more importantly I knew he’d pronounce it the way he did lmao sushi-ma 😭
That's how you pronounce it. Unless you want to try an be 100% authentic and then you add a very light "too" at the front.
Optamizm No that’s not what I meant, yes the t can be silent - I meant it’s tsu-shima, not tsushi-ma. Lol
It's levi-osa not levio-sa😂
Sean Gutierrez 10/10 reference lol
But is it pronounced tsunami or sunami?
I guess that's why he says it like that
I've sank almost 25 hours into GoT this week and am still in Act 1. I'm just loving exploring, and upgrading Jin. What an amazing immersive game!
I just started replaying this game. It's incredible. I forgot how gorgeous it is. And I'm playing the PS5 upscale version.
