Our analysis
Masterfully crafted open-world samurai game with wind-based navigation and excellent combat.
Our analysis
One of the most beautiful console games with exceptional art design. Embraces downtime uniquely.
Our analysis
Underrated 2020 gem with gorgeous samurai combat and beautifully designed world.
Our analysis
Visually stunning samurai epic but excessive collectibles and low-hanging side content distract from narrative.
Our analysis
An astoundingly good open-world samurai game and a stunning swan song for the PS4. Its breathtaking, color-soaked world and constantly escalating, fluid stance-based combat are standout strengths, with thoughtful exploration that rewards using your eyes over chasing map markers. The writing is the weak point, feeling flat and generic with a forgettable protagonist, but the overall package is phenomenal.
Our analysis
A solid samurai action game whose standout strengths are its deep, stance-based combat and a gripping, well-written story of Jin Sakai's war against the Mongol invaders. The lock-free fighting feels fluid and satisfying, with a rich upgrade and perk system and no cluttered HUD. Held back by poor non-combat stealth AI, occasional bugs, a narrow field of view in confined spaces, and some repetitive missions.
Our analysis
Beautiful open-world template covered in shallow cosmetics and forced collectibles bloat.
Our analysis
Best game of the year with exceptional combat, storytelling, and world design.
Our analysis
AJ 9/10: samurai epic masterpiece with stunning visuals, varied combat stances, perfect PS4 sendoff.
Our analysis
Beautifully crafted samurai adventure with fluid combat and stunning open-world; underused stealth.
Our analysis
Imperfections and dull edges remain, but the game is at its best riding your horse through a beautiful world on your own terms. Not quite a criterion classic but often looks like one.

A gorgeous open-world samurai adventure set during the Mongol invasion, with stunning vistas, an elegant guiding-wind waypoint system, and exciting, varied combat full of stances and stealth tools. The story is familiar and po-faced, and the world ultimately feels shallow and repetitive, with formulaic side quests, recycled diversions, and shallow upgrade systems you max out early. An Assassin's Creed-light experience that nails the fantasy of being a samurai but never carves out a unique personality.

An extraordinarily well-designed samurai game that reimagines open-world design through seamless, beautiful completion mechanics. The game makes you feel like a legendary warrior through myth-making storytelling and empowering combat.

WatchTranslated from FrenchGhost of Tsushima is an interesting game with good ideas but sometimes spoiled by a strange objective of wanting to do things differently from games of the same genre, like this crappy camera that we have to manage ourselves.
