I recently finished watching Blue Eye Samurai on Netflix and it got me on a Samurai kick, so I decided to pop Ghost of Tsushima back in.
I had only played for a couple hours when I first got my PS5 and never jumped back in.
I’m about 6 hours in and it is dope. I finally see why it won Player’s Choice.
I love following the wind and then getting pulled away by a fight or a yellow bird.
Difficulty level is great on Normal for a dude like me.
Its crazy that a PS4 game from 2020 has graphics that still hold up today (I am playing the PS5 version but yeah)

Anyway, I wonder Rise Of the Ronin will measure up.

 

[ReBurn]

It's a great game

 

[violence]

Loved it.

 

[Forth]

Absolutely loved this game too and currently playing through it.
But I have the bug were Jin will not jog when pushing the left stick forward, he only walks. But I just read that I need to turn on the dead zone compensation setting.
Weird because my dualsense definitely doesn't have a deadzone issue.

 

[GladiusFrog]

Got this one waiting in the backlog, looking forward to finally playing it this summer or fall.

 

[Chuck Berry]

Probably my most preferred out of the Sony Ubishit checkbox clones

That heavy bow is just SO satisfying

 

[Skifi28]

I've finished it three times. It's far from perfect and there are tons of things I would want improved/fixed in a sequel, but they got all the basics just right.

 

[DownLikeBCPowder]

Game is amazing IMO. Only played it last year and loved it all.

 

[semiconscious]

ghost of tsushima's very cool, very pretty, & I really enjoyed it... until i didn't anymore. just like days gone, it far overstays its welcome, & should've ended earlier than it does

Spoiler

like, at the end of the second area

eventually, it just becomes very repetitive/exhausting, & that plus the constant grim/serious atmosphere began to weigh me down. which sucks, because, as much as I genuinely enjoyed it, it ended up leaving a bad taste in my mouth...

 

[Upper_Management]

Don't sleep on Legends mode. I just fired it up recently and it is surprisingly good with plenty of content.

 

[SpokkX]

One of Sonys best games that actually focuses on gameplay before cutscenes

 

[Hawking Radiation]

That opening title screen. That whole sequence gave me goosebumps the first time I played it. What an intro

Lovely game. Really enjoyed my time playing it. Didn't manage to finish it but had a blast.

 

[Lokaum D+]

one of the best games that i've played in 2022 and i was salty as fuck cause they had to put Infamous down for this game.

 

[StereoVsn]

It’s a great game and especially from visual perspective and art direction it was one of the best made.

I also quite enjoyed the combat. Set in black and white and you kind of feel like a Kurosawa movie.

 

[MasterDerico]

For me still one of the best looking games! Its beautiful!

 

[RPS37]

12 hours in and I’m still loving it. I’m not even touching the main story, I just keep exploring and doing side shit and leveling up.

what kind of games are similar style/quality?

should I jump back in to RDR2, Witcher 3 or something else after this?
The last game I finished before jumping into this was Spidey 2 and I loved that as well.

 

[Ogbert]

Really wanted to love the game. Tried twice, each up to about five hours.

Just too much narrative and padding.

 

[Vyse]

I double dipped and played on both PS4 and PS5. Great game.

Watch Shogun!

 

[bender]

I stopped playing right after the second section unlocked.

 

[FinalBossWithTheMostPower]

Amazing game, I started it and left it hanging when BG3 released.

Recently been watching SHOGUN on Hulu and been making me wanna finish the game.

Most intense samurai duels, ever.

 

[RPS37]

Watch Shogun!

Im down.

Anyway, I wonder Rise Of the Ronin will measure up.

Visuals and exploration might not be on par with Ghost of Tsushima, but more stimulating combat is almost a certainty. The story might top it too.

Have you played the first Horizon?

Have you played the first Horizon?

You think I’ll need make another RTTP thread next month?
I never got too far.

Up to you dude. I think 1 is way worth playing through than 2. The story is very self contained and I think it finishes wonderfully. No need for a sequel.

Defs my favourite PS4 First party game.
