SUMMARY:

What a genius project of Sucker Punch Productions. "Ghost of Tsushima" is easily one of the best RPGs I've played in almost 20 years of gaming (I'm 33).

The game is perfect for everyone, who is cool with the fact that he won't get every skill / skill tree options during the first hours of the game. "Ghost of Tsushima" is like a Kurosawa movie - slow storytelling with a high sense for details and then explosive, bloody combat situations in between. Your're diving into a beautiful painted world where you will have the feeling that you could actually breathe that fresh Japanese night air, smell the bamboo and feel the rain on your skin. Even though it's not the most advanced game anymore when it comes to the pure graphics (or the engine), it's still visually insanely beautiful - because the production studio spent a lot of work to make the open world very detailed (similar to the "The Last of Us" games). The soundtrack is also amazing. The PC-port itself is also probably the best one of PlayStation-PC yet. There are literally almost no bugs, the performance is very good and all integrated features like DLSS etc. work well.

A wonderful journey for every fan of great RPGs, Kurosawa style Samurai movies and / or accurate games about the old Japan. I personally absolutely love it.
