Review on Ghost of Tsushima game for PlayStation 4 by Adam Kotowski ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I am amazed at how well made the product is, just magical!

With its positives being: The genuine essence of Japanese culture. One gets the impression that the authors handled the subject with reverence and care while they were working on their invention. Everything from the characters' attire to the soundtrack to the setting to the characters' dialogue to the haiku poems (which are sometimes referred to mistakenly as haiku) to the haiku poems themselves all contribute to the overall effect of making you feel as though you are in the same Japan that Kurosawa was filming about. The game features an excellently crafted system for handling battles. As you go, it becomes increasingly varied and relatively complex. Swinging a katana is an activity that never gets old. In addition to that, there are two bows (one for long range and one for close combat), throwing knives, sticky bombs, conventional bombs, smoke bombs, poison darts, and berserker darts (which cause foes to fight amongst themselves), and you even find yourself beginning to have some sympathy for the Mongols. They won't even come close to being sugary at all. Visual. Although I can't claim that the game's graphics are particularly impressive on their own (they are considerably stronger in Red Dead Redemption 2), the experience as a whole does provide a certain amount of enjoyment on an aesthetic level. You'll find that the game provides you with a frame rather frequently that you'll want to store in the gallery. The photo mode will continue to be available for use for another ten hours. With these drawbacks: Plot. It is not terrible (someone may enjoy it), but it is not well kept in memory. After a month has passed, you can hardly recall any details of the tale or the names of the characters, and you can count the vivid and unforgettable ones on your fingers. It is not terrible, but it is poorly remembered in memory. In addition, there are not nearly enough interesting side objectives (most of which consist of "go there, kill them") to keep players engaged. To summarize, it's not The Witcher, but if we're going to be picky about something, let's go with price. After seeing the trailer for this game in 2022 at E3, I fell in love with it and made the decision to purchase additional copies as soon as they became available, including the Deluxe edition. But even after I had passed, I couldn't shake the impression that my 5,100 opponents had not been entirely defeated. There was obviously something missing. As a result, I believe that a price range of 3,000 to 3,500 dollars will be satisfactory. If it is also being offered at a reduced price, then it was specifically commanded by God for you to purchase it.
