With Ghost of Tsushima launching this Friday, reviews for Sucker Punch Productions' latest PlayStation 4 exclusive are filing in. What do critics think of the open-world samurai action game? Read below to find out.
Critical consensus on Ghost of Tsushima is relatively high, with the game receiving mostly favorable reviews on GameSpot sister site Metacritic. The gist of Tsushima's reception is that it's an enjoyable romp held up by its exquisite audio and visual design. Many reviewers, however, note the game's rote combat encounters and overly familiar gameplay, with a few citing Assassin's Creed and other open-world adventures as obvious comparisons. It doesn't reinvent the open-world ethos or anything, but critics call Tsushima an worthwhile swansong that, alongside Naughty Dog's The Last of Us Part II, properly wraps up this current generation.
