This game is actually fun. I know there’s all that “it’s Far Cry 3 all over again” and “it’s another Ubisoft copy-paste” stuff, and some of the stuff those reviews say is true. But personally I don’t have such issues with it. Allow me to give some pros and cons and break down common complaints about it too. CONS 1. Far Cry 3 reskin. Personally, I haven’t played a Far Cry game since Far Cry 4, and it was the only one I had played before 6. I loved 4, so I was more than excited to play 6. So if you haven’t played a Far Cry game in a while or at all, I highly recommend this one to be your first. 2. Bugs. I don’t know if my disc copy is a rare kind or anything, but I haven’t experienced any serious bugs like other people have mentioned online. 3. Story (mild spoiler warning). The story can sometimes be all over the place, but there are many other enjoyable moments that happen in it. Of course some of the characters are not so interesting, but the others are actually pretty interesting. The only three issues I have with the story are that, firstly, it gets a little uninteresting, but that may just be from me not paying enough attention during certain points. Secondly, the ending is not exactly what I thought it would be. Without going into too much detail, I’ll just say I wasn’t too pleased, but it didn’t ruin the game or experience. It still holds up. Third and lastly, despite being the cover art, Anton (Giancarlo Esposito) is barely involved with the story. It’s like you don’t get enough of him. It’s safe to say he was mainly just a side character who shows up every now and then. But don’t get me wrong, whenever he’s on screen, he rocks his role and delivers a great performance. 4. Enemy AI. My oh my, this could be the main issue for me. They are very dumb, but I think that makes it better in a way. Because if the enemies were super smart or alert, stealth wouldn’t be so enjoyable. And another thing… these guys are freaking indestructible. I’m not even kidding. There have been several instances where regular human enemies needed as much as five shots to the head to kill. That’s insane, they’re supposed to be human, hahaha! They are also fireproof for some reason, so I don’t recommend carrying a flamethrower or using weapons that use any other kind of rounds except standard or armour-piercing. PROS 1. Action is incredible, whether you’re playing stealthy or otherwise, it feels so great. (the headshot sound is so satisfying to hear.) 2. The environment is incredible and beautiful. 3. The weapons are cool and creative. 4. Customisation is good. 5. A bunch of other things SUMMARY. It’s a flawed game, but it’s fun and enjoyable. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fun new FPS game.

Initially when I started this game, I had never played any other game in the series, neither had I ever read the books or watched the Netflix series. I never even knew what a Witcher was. Make matters worse, I paid very little attention to what was happening in the story in my first 5-10 hours and I didn’t do any side quests or exploration. I just heard that it won the Game of the Year award in 2015, so I expected greatness to ooze all over while I mindlessly played through it. So when that didn’t happen, I HATED this game and stopped playing it. I had some cousins over at the time who played and loved the game, but I just couldn’t find what they loved so much about it. But then one day, something told me to start a new save and pay attention this time. My oh my, I was hooked. I have had so much fun with this game and it is one of the best games I’ve ever played. EVER. The characters are interesting, the world is beautiful and alive and it just feels like an experience that was masterfully crafted. Don’t get me wrong, there were some slow moments and some other moments when I felt like the game should’ve ended by then already. But all of that is overshadowed by every other great aspect of the game. The game is just so good and entertaining, I couldn’t recommend it enough to anyone looking to spend time in an INCREDIBLE open world role playing game. CD Projekt Red went above and beyond to make this game a masterpiece and if you consider playing it, I guarantee you’ll love it. I understand that there’s people who don’t like this game completely and I understand. There are some things that may draw you away. Do your research before you buy this one. And if it suits your tastes, have fun with it.

Initially when I got this game, it was because of the hype around it and all of the good things I heard about it. So I avoided all forms of spoilers and finally picked it up for myself. Saying it is a masterpiece isn’t enough. * Mild Spoilers Ahead * The action is perfectly crafted and the story is incredible, had me crying when I beat it, and a good deal of the duels and boss battles are the perfect challenge for me because I like to play games in their hardest difficulty. The Ryuzo and Khotun Khan fights really had my adrenaline pumping. Shout out to the people at Sucker Punch. As a game developer, I can tell making something as good as Ghost of Tsushima was no easy task. I’m glad to see it grew to be something so good that I shave nothing bad to say about it. 10/10 experience.
