Ghost of Tsushima, the last big Playstation 4 exclusive pushes the consoles hardware limits beyond the horizon while tributing this legendary console generation a cinematographic masterpiece.
The gameolay of Ghost of Tsushima is fantastic. The katana feels real with all the different stances and attack combinations it gives you the freedom to decide on your own which kind of samurai you want to be. This supported with the bow, that feels incredible on the new dualsense by the way, and the ghost weapons makes the combat system nearly perfect.
The story of the game is great aswell. Following the main storyline you will encounter well placed plottwists and a brilliantly crafted emotional end. The side quests often are different but unfortunately some are repetitious. Nevertheless the tales of your allies were pretty great to follow.
Open world is well designed, you have countless things to do. Especially in the beginning you feel very excited to discover all the things you can do. Unfortunately there are a little bit too much of the same activities in the game. Like 49 fox dens which are 49 times the same thing. This has been done to extend the games playtime. But that's a general problem of modern videogames.
What this game does great is how you are led through the open world. You do not have a marker that shows you where to go like we are used to from Ubisoft's games. No, the wind shows you the way. This is an fantastic idea because it works perfect and does not overload your HUD. I loved it and hope that more games will implement something like this.
So let's turn to the definitely best aspect of this game: CINEMATOGRAPHY
Right from the beginning I was stunned of this games graphics. Definitely highest standard on PS4 and even better on my PS5. The leaves blown by the wind, the grass, the water all looks just perfect. There is no way to top this quality! I think they finally reached the limit in terms of graphics. The whole story feels like a big budget movie because they have scenes where they mastered camera work. For example during dialogues, the cameras angle changes which creates breathtaking pictures. This masterclass work concludes in the finale where we get one of the most beatiful shots ever.
To summarize that, Ghost of Tsushima has a great story, brilliant gameplay and PERFECT cinematography. This makes the game to a MUST PLAY.
