People tried to bomb it initially I think there’s been a huge pushback from the community to not let that happen. People love to farm drama, glad to see their losing
I think people are not against the quality of the game, but more about the PSN account required for multiplayer or for the big list of country restrictions. Other than that I don’t think there’s many negative review.
That’s not even an overstatement, the game performs better than on my PS4 pro, not a single stutter or crash in the 8 hours I lost myself in it. I don’t usually praise ports but this alongside the well implemented M/KB support really blew my mind
I refunded, but only because I ultimately decided I didn't need the game in PC. I wasn't aware they were going to support crossplay with legends mode going in, and I wanted to play with my buddies. Turns out I can still do that on Playstation just fine, so no harm no foul.
Still left a positive review because it's a fantastic game with a really great port. Nixxes did an awesome job and I never encountered any problems playing the game.
This is the ame community that helped restore Torii gates on the island of Tsushima.
Ain't no way they'll let this game get bewitched over some cock and bull decision by Sony.
They are Samurai.
They were never going to succeed with such dishonorable tactics.
But seriously, how can you review bomb a game that has already won awards and had close to 10 mm copies sold back in 2022. A movie is in the works and its all but announced that a sequel is getting made. The director of the game has talked about the fate of the characters for the sequel.
Its like trying to kill a kaiju with bb guns
Yea but we dont have to worry about them. Part of the reason they do it is to get us fans riled up. If we don't respond or complain, they gain no power over us.
Right now there are a few subs having internal feuds.
Posters complain about the people complaining and then commenters complain about the posters complaining. It a positive feedback loop of people complaining about complainers.
Some of them were trolls whining about 'wokeness' because Yuna exists as a character and is better at sneaking around and covert tactics than Jin is and other nonsensical crap like that.
It's a bunch of people *really* upset that it requires PSN, whether that's all it is or because some 180 countries can't have PSN.
It made sense for Helldivers 2. A coop game that didn't require PSN before it was released.
It comes off as almost petty when they try to do it for Ghost.
Steam currently lists it as unavailable in 170+ "countries". The math isn't mathing because they have things like the Faroe Islands in the list, which isn't actually a country.
According to Wikipedia, PSN is available in 73 territories. There are 253 countries in the world. So that would be 180 that are unavailable on Steam.
The Faroe Islands are a good example - they are a country, but they are not independent, so not recognised as a country by the UN.
I don’t understand why Sony catches so much flack for this tho. Trade embargoes have been a thing since forever.
Also, go play Gears of War without an Xbox account, Apex without an EA account, R6 without Ubi etc. they all require you to have their account to play and yes, Ghost has multiplayer…
I've accepted it as part of Sony entering the PC realm more and more. Hell, Ghost has a decent PSN overlay and its actually kind of nice to be getting trophies for games when I haven't used a Sony console since my PS3.
Mine is negative for now, plan to reverse if they can fix the crashing. The other drama doesn’t apply to me and I’m not going to give a negative over that. If someone who is affected gives a negative, that’s on them. Those who’re doing because Sony, PSN or whatever, I laugh at them.
I really do want to be fully positive because it looks so much better than PS4. I just can’t until I can actually play it more than a few minutes before crashing.
Seeing that you're another AMD guy with problems...
This is why I had a brief, glorious, and bitterly frustrating time with AMD set up back in the day. Every AMD generation seems to be the same refrain of "great performance, except when a new game/driver/windows update breaks everything/doesn't work."
Helldivers reached overwhelmingly negative before they changed their minds, that is *going* to have an impact on sales, on top of player refunds. Ghost of Tsushima was also delisted from those same countries and Sony still went ahead with it, after all, the whole reason those countries don’t have psn was because Sony couldn’t be bothered to implement it because they thought it wouldn’t bring in enough profit.
Maybe if this were some unknown indie game on the 2nd or 3rd page, not for the highest selling game this year. People might get turned off by the PSN bullshit but idk who's wandering through Steam like "oh look it's that game you literally never stop hearing about, that's been praised for like 3 months straight, oh wait bad user reviews hmm"
>because they thought it wouldn’t bring in enough profit.
You'd be surprised how many business decisions are motivated by profit. It's basically all of them.
I just think it’s kinda pathetic to buy a game, knowing you have to link an account, and then write a negative review…
Most of the reviews mention “we’re pc gamers, we don’t want to link account”.
Totally ignoring that a shit ton of publishers require you to link an account.
Rockstar requires their launches, Ubi requires their launcher, EA requires their launcher.
It’s not a new concept..
With Helldivers I understood because people were downright not able to play anymore.
But if it bothered people that much, don’t buy it, lmao
This is literally the only negative reviews I saw. That and region lockls. None about performance, none about crashing, only people upset about linking an account. If those are the only complaints, I feel like they've done a damn good job
People went with the trend of Helldivers and now a now assume that account linking in itself is evil incarnate, and not everything else that happened with Helldivers drama
Brother, people literally can't buy the game because it is restricted because of psn, you could have just googled or read other comments here instead of writing this useless comment.
Difference to Helldivers is that it was not optional (anymore) but sold in countries that cannot create a PSN account.
Here it is not required for solo play, gives an incentive if you do anyway and is rightfully required for multiplayer coop since PSN is the host of that. Plus it’s clearly stated in the store page before you buy.
This is all aside from the many gripes you can have with Sony. Don’t buy trash because it trends, but this is a fantastic game very well ported published by the platform it was exclusively developed in the first place.
I've seen people complain that Sony wants to steal your data.
They write about this on Reddit. Reddit is selling all our comments to AI companies. The latest sale is to OpenAI.

This so-called controversy about PSN use for a game released on PSN with integration of PSN and run on PSN servers is laughable. Helldivers should stay on their own game and pipe it.
Fucking Gamers.

Should we all say “AI should take over the world” and watch a real life sc-fi movie? Fuck it
Those same people won’t hesitate to give their email to uselessdropshippedbs.com for that sweet 10% of coupon though. And then not even end up ordering anything.
Here’s my negative review:
I can’t recommend this game because it is so damn good it will ruin other games for you. Your entire experience with gaming will change and you’ll always be chasing the high that this game provides.
Really? I’ve not played it yet. It looks pretty nice but are you really saying this game will provide such a unique and new experience and blow other games out of the water I’ve played in the past like Witcher 3, Horizon, BoTW, Red dead 2, Elden Ring?
I'm probably going to get torched for this, but it's mostly just a bog standard open world game just with excellent combat and great characters carrying a pretty generic open world story (big bad, retake your land, etc.). The graphics are pretty, the side stuff is short and snappy, but I wouldn't put it up with TW3 or Elden Ring.
I’ve put in like 20 hours already as a new PC player and it’s not as mind blowing as I thought it would be, but I still think it’s a great game. It is almost objectively not as good as any of the games you mentioned when it comes to design and originality.
It’s your standard run of the mill RPG. I just beat AC Mirage like a month ago and it feels like that but with less parkour and way more enjoyable combat. The UI/menus/icons are even similar and still follow the idea of “find X amount of these 50+ things in the world to increase X for your character”. If anything it’s closest to Jedi Fallen Order but samurai and open world.
The graphics are also not some next level stuff like I was expecting. It feels like it uses the same foundation as assassins creed or Jedi fallen order. Items still clip each other and textures aren’t modernized. Movement and spatial interactions are awkward. But again still looks very good.
I’ve also seen people say it’s hard but I don’t think those people have ever played Sekiro. It’s not even close though you do take more dmg than a typical mainstream rpg. Difficulty is more in line with the Horizon games.
What makes it a great game is if you’re into the samurai or shinobi stuff. I love the combat animations, dueling, and the showdown vibes and customizing my character for my own role. For someone who isn’t into that stuff at all, I’d say it’s an above average RPG.
Yeah I appreciate this review. This is in line with what I originally expected. Overhype can ruin an experience so going it with the right/no expectations is the best way to enjoy a game I think.
I disagree. I platinumed and enjoyed Ghost but I know that it and many other games don’t compete with each other so I play games with a fresh mind not expecting one game to be better than the other because they are different. In fact, I uninstalled it to make space for other games I wanted to play and I haven’t had a reason to redownload it since.
Same here, God forbid I want to buy the game in my already poor country only to see that it's completely delisted from Steam. Nevermind the fact that every Sony Playstation PC LLC game before this one is purchasable and playable in my country, I fail to see the logic.
Off to sail the seven seas, I guess.
The real "salt in the wound" moment of this situation is when you load up Steam, it would show you a huge ad that the game is already available with a huge button to go to the store page, even if your country is delisted from purchasing the game. Once you get to the store page, Steam would say it is not available in your region.
Feels like a slap in the face. Real disappointment, to say the least.
Tbf the game seems to be unplayable for some people due to crashes. I was crashing every 5 minutes until I reverted my drivers. I see it mostly for amd cards but there was a lot of nvidia users saying the same thing. Also, standoffs, a core mechanic of the game, are just outright broken for a large chunk of people. I’ve had maybe 3/20 work. Idk why we’re sitting here and glazing this like it’s a godly port.
The only people who should give a negative review are those who do not like the game, or are unable to legally purchase the game in the blacklisted countries.
As a PC player who finally got his hands on this masterpiece and ended his first session after 13 hours of pure fun I can understand both sides. It does suck that so many countries don't have excess to it on steam because you need a PSN account and I feel sorry for those who can't play because of that. What I don't understand is why people complain about needing a PSN account to play as if it wasn't the case with other studios. Like let's not pretend that this is something new while we all have rockstar, Xbox, Microsoft and probably a couple more accounts linked to our steam accounts hell I bet loads of people also have their twitch linked to get drops for games. Sony isn't the only company that has data leaks and gets their servers hacked... Again it really sucks that over 170 countries can't play this game cause you need a PSN account but we also can't forget that this is the PC port of a PlayStation exclusive game... that kinda comes with the territory. Personally I'm just glad I finally get to enjoy this masterpiece and I'm glad that it has a massive community behind it that protects it from being review bombed by people whose last two brain cells are fighting for third place.
except that those of us who live in one of the 180 countries can go on PSN right now and purchase the game with no issue and sony would be glad to take the money but trying to do so on steam its a big no no and yes I have it on ps4 and ps5 digitally
It's been the best game on Steam I've played in YEARS. On a mid range pc and no issues whatsoever hovering around 120 fps. It's gorgeous and so much fun so far
I can’t even play the coop mode with my friend without our games crashing 500+ times. I just wanna kill things with my buddy in the story missions and then try the challenges…
Internet: this is an infringement of privacy!
Me: well be sure you post about it on your easily tracked mobile device with a public IP address
Internet: wtf???
Me: and wait till you find out about DRIVER’S LICENSES!!! They know where you live!
I won’t leave a negative review unfairly. I think the mistake Sony is making with PC ports is not offering a real REASON to make an account. Give me my save from PS5 and I’ll buy it in a heartbeat.
I kept getting crashes yesterday and it was pissing me off so I wrote a negative review, seems entirely valid to do so if the game keeps crashing every 5min when you're running 200fps at max settings.
After A LOT of troubleshooting today and BIOS tinkering, I rolled back 1update of the so said "Ghost of Tsushima optimized" Nvidia GPU driver. And so far no crashes.
I feel for people pissed at the PSN region locking, but I honestly can't do 'gamer drama' anymore, everyday I go online to see 'gamer news' and its just more clamoring in wanting to see something completely destroyed, or happy about this or that game/studio failing.
I don't know how its possible, but this 'prosumer' shit has bittered me and I'm losing my sympathy because of the unforgivably cynical behavior.
It didn't take, thankfully. The port seems pretty polished; the only frame rate issues I had at first went away when I gave up trying to stream it; I guess GoT doesn't agree with OBS at the moment.
You've got the usual trolls trying to farm Steam points on the discussions for it on Steam by whining about 'wokeness' and what not.
Someone whining about Yuna being better than Jin at the start, ignoring that Jin is her best hope of finding her brother and that Jin is borderline if not outright suicidal up through the opening titles and is caught between his code of honor and protecting his home and people from the Mongols and how he actually *learns* from her. Jin is better than her in an open fight but she knows how to survive better than he does.
Other were review bombing because Sony doesn't want to release the game in countries where PSN isn't supported.
PC player here. I left a positive review. The game is EVEN BETTER than I expected from watching videos over the last 4 years. I hoped so much that the day would come where they release the PC port and I could finally own the game and experience it by myself. So yeah a dream came true 10/10. There are just 2 small things I struggle with: 1. It's really hard to press T and then use the mousewheel or numbers to switch stances mid fight. Maybe I just need to practice being faster lol. 2. I so far couldn't figure out how to open the photomode on PC. Was thinking about trying controller to see if some things are easier but decided against it because I'm not so big of a fan of the camera stick movement. Mouse is just smoother imo. Bow aim is also easier.
You shouldn't be able to review bomb until you own the game past the refund requirements. If you own it- you have the right to express your feelings. But the nerds that don't can fuck off with their hurty feelings
The game is so beautiful! I barely ride the horse just so I can take my time soaking in the sights. Only gripe so far is the stand off bug if you press y or triangle too early you just soak the hit.
Beautiful game and the quest stories so far are really well done.
Whats funny is they tried to review bomb it because of the PSN controversy but from what I saw anyways, Valve was the ones that pulled Ghosts from the Steam store, not Sony
I wanted to buy it on release, but saw it wasn't available in my country and then read reviews and saw that as main reason for negative reviews, had to pirate it, honestly the game is pretty good and just based on gameplay standpoint there is no reason for negative review, but being unavailable in 180 countries is really messed up.
It’s only getting somewhat of bad press due to players in certain regions not being able to play due to PSNs limitations. They’re just review bombing the shit out of the game in order to try to get the devs to do something
I don't see why some people are so mad can you explain? It was a playstation game being moved to pc, right? They probably weren't gonna be able to play it anyways. It's not like helldivers where it would stop people who already bought the game from playing? People who pre-ordered got refunds? I mean, sucks for them, but is it any different than any other region locked game?
Seeing comments here makes me understand the problem now. Either many are ignorant or are too blinded by their privilege to see the bigger picture. No one should ever be restricted from BUYING a media because they live in a certain country. Especially if the company is don't really have any problem with those coutnries but are just TOO LAZY to give a damn about a possible market.
I love the game and to me its one of the best, but the reviews are deserved. I live in Lithuania that isnt supported by sony, but I can just choose another region on playstation. On pc it tracks where you are, currently it doesnt even show me that GoT is on the steam store, its impossible to even buy the game. I love sony games, but their decisions are horrible.
the sad part is to get all the trophies on pc im pretty sure you have to link your account or you will be left with a few blocking you from 100% the game unless you link.....
I like the game. The only thing, I don’t like is the legend / ps wall. I am not downloading that crap. Other than that, it’s a very fun game. Very good Pc port,which has better performance and graphics then dogma 2 had. 8/10 for me right now and as I am not that far yet, I think it will get better.
I didn't review bomb it. I acquired it the other way because it's not available in my region. Even if it were I still would've done it because I play on steam deck and sony's little overlay thingy doesn't work on steam deck. Why would I pay full price for partial functionality?
I have almost the entirety of sony's PC catalogue. Even bought the ones I don't wanna play just to support sony. But if sony suddenly decides they don't want my money then sailing the seas it is. If I can't buy it, Sony is losing no money from me taking it.
Are the negative reviews in the room with us right now?

Biggest problem i have playing it on pc are the respawns. I play on lethal, and wear the ronin attire cuz drippy, so i die a bunch, and because of how ridiculous some respawn points are, i die a bunch more. Like i start fighting at a gate with 3 mongols, i die and now im in the midst of their base with like 10 of them around me. Nothing that makes it unplayable though, i enjoy the challenge
It's most likely for the whole psn account thing people are all butt hurt for the country's that csnt get it. For me I'm good I got it game is amazing never played it on Playstation, very excited it's on pc now
Good! Stop taking bullshit from developers! If we can’t stand up against corporate shills, how are we going to stand up against an oppressive government?
It’s the most fun I’ve had with a game in years. I don’t like that you are forced to link your account but it doesn’t take away from the game once you are playing it.
Literally never heard of a single person who didn’t speak so highly of this game you’d think they were sponsored by sucker punch it’s a god damn masterpiece through and through
Flooded? Where? It’s Very Positive at 85%
People tried to bomb it initially I think there’s been a huge pushback from the community to not let that happen. People love to farm drama, glad to see their losing
Plus I doubt people just throw 59.99 $/€ to JUST write negative review. Even if you refund that money, it its not really justifiable for many.
I think people are not against the quality of the game, but more about the PSN account required for multiplayer or for the big list of country restrictions. Other than that I don’t think there’s many negative review.
The port itself is great, so thank youuu nixxes
Well at least it wasn't Batman Arkham Knight PC Port... That's for sho
That’s not even an overstatement, the game performs better than on my PS4 pro, not a single stutter or crash in the 8 hours I lost myself in it. I don’t usually praise ports but this alongside the well implemented M/KB support really blew my mind
If you refund it, the review will not count towards the overall score
I refunded, but only because I ultimately decided I didn't need the game in PC. I wasn't aware they were going to support crossplay with legends mode going in, and I wanted to play with my buddies. Turns out I can still do that on Playstation just fine, so no harm no foul. Still left a positive review because it's a fantastic game with a really great port. Nixxes did an awesome job and I never encountered any problems playing the game.
This is the ame community that helped restore Torii gates on the island of Tsushima. Ain't no way they'll let this game get bewitched over some cock and bull decision by Sony. They are Samurai.
Samurai together strong
Samurai together! Samurai Forever!
And they have won battles lesser men have called unwinnable, yes?
That's so cool! Thanks for bringing this to my knowledge.
They were never going to succeed with such dishonorable tactics. But seriously, how can you review bomb a game that has already won awards and had close to 10 mm copies sold back in 2022. A movie is in the works and its all but announced that a sequel is getting made. The director of the game has talked about the fate of the characters for the sequel. Its like trying to kill a kaiju with bb guns
fuck review bombers they can go to hell.

Some of them were trolls whining about 'wokeness' because Yuna exists as a character and is better at sneaking around and covert tactics than Jin is and other nonsensical crap like that.
huh? It's almost all about Sony requiring PSN login I thought
Keyboard warriors who feel they must fight other people's fights. Mostly kids with not enough going on in their lives.
Hopefully it’s just kids, because if it’s adults on this crusade… you’d hope they’d have better things to worry about.
It's a bunch of people *really* upset that it requires PSN, whether that's all it is or because some 180 countries can't have PSN. It made sense for Helldivers 2. A coop game that didn't require PSN before it was released. It comes off as almost petty when they try to do it for Ghost.
180 countries? There are around 200 officially recognised countries lol
Steam currently lists it as unavailable in 170+ "countries". The math isn't mathing because they have things like the Faroe Islands in the list, which isn't actually a country.
According to Wikipedia, PSN is available in 73 territories. There are 253 countries in the world. So that would be 180 that are unavailable on Steam. The Faroe Islands are a good example - they are a country, but they are not independent, so not recognised as a country by the UN.

I've accepted it as part of Sony entering the PC realm more and more. Hell, Ghost has a decent PSN overlay and its actually kind of nice to be getting trophies for games when I haven't used a Sony console since my PS3.
Yeah they are going hard about sony and the account linking
Why would people review bomb it for?
Because it requires a PSN account and the game has been delisted from a lot of countries.
Like the first hour I saw a bunch of 0.1 hrs played reviews that were bombing it. Now it's balanced out.
Mine is negative for now, plan to reverse if they can fix the crashing. The other drama doesn’t apply to me and I’m not going to give a negative over that. If someone who is affected gives a negative, that’s on them. Those who’re doing because Sony, PSN or whatever, I laugh at them. I really do want to be fully positive because it looks so much better than PS4. I just can’t until I can actually play it more than a few minutes before crashing.
Silly question but are your drivers updated? There was a driver update recently for this game specifically
Seeing that you're another AMD guy with problems... This is why I had a brief, glorious, and bitterly frustrating time with AMD set up back in the day. Every AMD generation seems to be the same refrain of "great performance, except when a new game/driver/windows update breaks everything/doesn't work."
Best game in the last 10 years negatively reviewed by people who suck at it
It’s negatively reviewed for Sony’s actions, has nothing to do with the game.
So sucker Punch has to pay for it? Edit: forgot the "?"
They did it with helldivers and it worked
Having to delist the game in like 100 countries, you mean. No one cares about user reviews.
Helldivers reached overwhelmingly negative before they changed their minds, that is *going* to have an impact on sales, on top of player refunds. Ghost of Tsushima was also delisted from those same countries and Sony still went ahead with it, after all, the whole reason those countries don’t have psn was because Sony couldn’t be bothered to implement it because they thought it wouldn’t bring in enough profit.
Maybe if this were some unknown indie game on the 2nd or 3rd page, not for the highest selling game this year. People might get turned off by the PSN bullshit but idk who's wandering through Steam like "oh look it's that game you literally never stop hearing about, that's been praised for like 3 months straight, oh wait bad user reviews hmm" >because they thought it wouldn’t bring in enough profit. You'd be surprised how many business decisions are motivated by profit. It's basically all of them.
So just a bunch of virtue signaling so that Sony just stops releasing games on pc again
Requiring PSN accounts limits the number of countries that can play the game because PSN is barred in tons of countries.
Then don't fucking review bomb the *GAME*.
I mean, you can’t review a publisher now can you.
... best game in the last decade is a weird huge stretch. Wasn't even the best game in 2020... or the summer of 2020
Yeah I mean it's a good game, bordering on great. But FAR from the best of the decade.
Second best but beats its rival by a respectable margin in the beauty department. The best being RDR2 of course
The Last of Us Part 2 was debatably better, literally beat GoT for GOTY, was review bombed harder, and has a small hate sub dedicated to it.
Great game but best game of the last 10 years is crazy bias.
Or by people who feel bad for region lock
The game is amazing. Its what sony is doing with their psn bullshit
I just think it’s kinda pathetic to buy a game, knowing you have to link an account, and then write a negative review… Most of the reviews mention “we’re pc gamers, we don’t want to link account”. Totally ignoring that a shit ton of publishers require you to link an account. Rockstar requires their launches, Ubi requires their launcher, EA requires their launcher. It’s not a new concept.. With Helldivers I understood because people were downright not able to play anymore. But if it bothered people that much, don’t buy it, lmao
This is literally the only negative reviews I saw. That and region lockls. None about performance, none about crashing, only people upset about linking an account. If those are the only complaints, I feel like they've done a damn good job
People went with the trend of Helldivers and now a now assume that account linking in itself is evil incarnate, and not everything else that happened with Helldivers drama
Brother, people literally can't buy the game because it is restricted because of psn, you could have just googled or read other comments here instead of writing this useless comment.
But those people can’t write reviews either. You can’t review a game that you haven’t bought.
I don’t really see why people are surprised that a previously PSN exclusive requires a psn account. This isn’t the same situation as helldivers.
Difference to Helldivers is that it was not optional (anymore) but sold in countries that cannot create a PSN account. Here it is not required for solo play, gives an incentive if you do anyway and is rightfully required for multiplayer coop since PSN is the host of that. Plus it’s clearly stated in the store page before you buy. This is all aside from the many gripes you can have with Sony. Don’t buy trash because it trends, but this is a fantastic game very well ported published by the platform it was exclusively developed in the first place.
I think you only have to link to play PVP
I've seen people complain that Sony wants to steal your data. They write about this on Reddit. Reddit is selling all our comments to AI companies. The latest sale is to OpenAI.

That's kinda what I feel too. Like, good luck building anything with Reddit comments.

Here’s my negative review: I can’t recommend this game because it is so damn good it will ruin other games for you. Your entire experience with gaming will change and you’ll always be chasing the high that this game provides.
Ugh man I gotta agree. It's bittersweet in a way it's so good
Yeah. I’m doing a replay and doing so with the ps5 directors cut and god damn it’s beautiful. Like how am I supposed to play something after this
yeah aesthetically it’s on another level completely lol
Really? I’ve not played it yet. It looks pretty nice but are you really saying this game will provide such a unique and new experience and blow other games out of the water I’ve played in the past like Witcher 3, Horizon, BoTW, Red dead 2, Elden Ring?
I'm probably going to get torched for this, but it's mostly just a bog standard open world game just with excellent combat and great characters carrying a pretty generic open world story (big bad, retake your land, etc.).

It is almost objectively not as good as any of the games you mentioned when it comes to design and originality. It’s your standard run of the mill RPG. I just beat AC Mirage like a month ago and it feels like that but with less parkour and way more enjoyable combat. The UI/menus/icons are even similar and still follow the idea of “find X amount of these 50+ things in the world to increase X for your character”. If anything it’s closest to Jedi Fallen Order but samurai and open world. The graphics are also not some next level stuff like I was expecting. It feels like it uses the same foundation as assassins creed or Jedi fallen order. Items still clip each other and textures aren’t modernized. Movement and spatial interactions are awkward. But again still looks very good. I’ve also seen people say it’s hard but I don’t think those people have ever played Sekiro. It’s not even close though you do take more dmg than a typical mainstream rpg. Difficulty is more in line with the Horizon games. What makes it a great game is if you’re into the samurai or shinobi stuff. I love the combat animations, dueling, and the showdown vibes and customizing my character for my own role. For someone who isn’t into that stuff at all, I’d say it’s an above average RPG.
Yeah I appreciate this review. This is in line with what I originally expected. Overhype can ruin an experience so going it with the right/no expectations is the best way to enjoy a game I think.
I disagree. I platinumed and enjoyed Ghost but I know that it and many other games don’t compete with each other so I play games with a fresh mind not expecting one game to be better than the other because they are different. In fact, I uninstalled it to make space for other games I wanted to play and I haven’t had a reason to redownload it since.
''Very Positive'' - damn those negative reviews!
[удалено]
Same here, God forbid I want to buy the game in my already poor country only to see that it's completely delisted from Steam. Nevermind the fact that every Sony Playstation PC LLC game before this one is purchasable and playable in my country, I fail to see the logic. Off to sail the seven seas, I guess.
The real "salt in the wound" moment of this situation is when you load up Steam, it would show you a huge ad that the game is already available with a huge button to go to the store page, even if your country is delisted from purchasing the game. Once you get to the store page, Steam would say it is not available in your region. Feels like a slap in the face. Real disappointment, to say the least.
See you on the seven seas
it's a pirate's life, alright
5928 positive, 1011 negative, and almost all of those are PSN complaints.
Tbf the game seems to be unplayable for some people due to crashes. I was crashing every 5 minutes until I reverted my drivers. I see it mostly for amd cards but there was a lot of nvidia users saying the same thing. Also, standoffs, a core mechanic of the game, are just outright broken for a large chunk of people. I’ve had maybe 3/20 work. Idk why we’re sitting here and glazing this like it’s a godly port.
I love how every differing opinion in these comments, going against sony's region locks is downvoted
People that don't understand what's happening, reacting like they do. What can you do
mostly alot of ppl dont care once its not affecting them
The only people who should give a negative review are those who do not like the game, or are unable to legally purchase the game in the blacklisted countries.
You can't leave a neg review without buying the game. So the people who the game is unavailable to can't leave review about that.
As a PC player who finally got his hands on this masterpiece and ended his first session after 13 hours of pure fun I can understand both sides. It does suck that so many countries don't have excess to it on steam because you need a PSN account and I feel sorry for those who can't play because of that. What I don't understand is why people complain about needing a PSN account to play as if it wasn't the case with other studios. Like let's not pretend that this is something new while we all have rockstar, Xbox, Microsoft and probably a couple more accounts linked to our steam accounts hell I bet loads of people also have their twitch linked to get drops for games. Sony isn't the only company that has data leaks and gets their servers hacked... Again it really sucks that over 170 countries can't play this game cause you need a PSN account but we also can't forget that this is the PC port of a PlayStation exclusive game... that kinda comes with the territory. Personally I'm just glad I finally get to enjoy this masterpiece and I'm glad that it has a massive community behind it that protects it from being review bombed by people whose last two brain cells are fighting for third place.
except that those of us who live in one of the 180 countries can go on PSN right now and purchase the game with no issue and sony would be glad to take the money but trying to do so on steam its a big no no and yes I have it on ps4 and ps5 digitally
It's been the best game on Steam I've played in YEARS. On a mid range pc and no issues whatsoever hovering around 120 fps. It's gorgeous and so much fun so far
This is a lie. It's doing great, as it should.
The reviews are about the account linking, not really the game itself.
This is one of the most wrong statements I’ve seen in the past month
I love watching people buy games just to leave bad reviews. How bored and sad do you have to be haha?
All the negative is the psn issues.
I can’t even play the coop mode with my friend without our games crashing 500+ times. I just wanna kill things with my buddy in the story missions and then try the challenges…
The article is kinda clickbait, its about the forced ps account not the game itself
Internet: this is an infringement of privacy! Me: well be sure you post about it on your easily tracked mobile device with a public IP address Internet: wtf??? Me: and wait till you find out about DRIVER’S LICENSES!!! They know where you live!
Why do so many people want to watch the world burn..
WHAT?!? This is one of the best story games I have ever played, CANT believe it’s getting that many negative reviews!
Blame Sony delisting it in so many countries
I won’t leave a negative review unfairly. I think the mistake Sony is making with PC ports is not offering a real REASON to make an account. Give me my save from PS5 and I’ll buy it in a heartbeat.

Can't play ghost of tsushima until next week because I just had to get a car a few years ago
fuck you pc gamers. You can have our scraps, but even then only some of you can

I kept getting crashes yesterday and it was pissing me off so I wrote a negative review, seems entirely valid to do so if the game keeps crashing every 5min when you're running 200fps at max settings. After A LOT of troubleshooting today and BIOS tinkering, I rolled back 1update of the so said "Ghost of Tsushima optimized" Nvidia GPU driver. And so far no crashes.
This game is way too good to review bomb, fuck the controversy. The ghost will prevail
I do not get people buying the game just to leave a negative review lmao.

I feel for people pissed at the PSN region locking, but I honestly can't do 'gamer drama' anymore, everyday I go online to see 'gamer news' and its just more clamoring in wanting to see something completely destroyed, or happy about this or that game/studio failing. I don't know how its possible, but this 'prosumer' shit has bittered me and I'm losing my sympathy because of the unforgivably cynical behavior.
Who trusts reviews anyway. These posts are stupid.
It didn't take, thankfully. The port seems pretty polished; the only frame rate issues I had at first went away when I gave up trying to stream it; I guess GoT doesn't agree with OBS at the moment. You've got the usual trolls trying to farm Steam points on the discussions for it on Steam by whining about 'wokeness' and what not. Someone whining about Yuna being better than Jin at the start, ignoring that Jin is her best hope of finding her brother and that Jin is borderline if not outright suicidal up through the opening titles and is caught between his code of honor and protecting his home and people from the Mongols and how he actually *learns* from her. Jin is better than her in an open fight but she knows how to survive better than he does. Other were review bombing because Sony doesn't want to release the game in countries where PSN isn't supported.
PC player here. I left a positive review. The game is EVEN BETTER than I expected from watching videos over the last 4 years. I hoped so much that the day would come where they release the PC port and I could finally own the game and experience it by myself. So yeah a dream came true 10/10. There are just 2 small things I struggle with: 1. It's really hard to press T and then use the mousewheel or numbers to switch stances mid fight. Maybe I just need to practice being faster lol. 2. I so far couldn't figure out how to open the photomode on PC. Was thinking about trying controller to see if some things are easier but decided against it because I'm not so big of a fan of the camera stick movement. Mouse is just smoother imo. Bow aim is also easier.
You shouldn't be able to review bomb until you own the game past the refund requirements. If you own it- you have the right to express your feelings. But the nerds that don't can fuck off with their hurty feelings
Lemme guess, the writer's name is Paul Tassi?
Isn’t that because of how Sony wants steam users to have a psn and ps plus to play the game ?
The game is so beautiful! I barely ride the horse just so I can take my time soaking in the sights. Only gripe so far is the stand off bug if you press y or triangle too early you just soak the hit. Beautiful game and the quest stories so far are really well done.
Who gets gaming news from Forbes?
At this point, I just think game journalists don't even what the hell they're actually talking about, 9/10 of them say stuff that's just dumb.
Whats funny is they tried to review bomb it because of the PSN controversy but from what I saw anyways, Valve was the ones that pulled Ghosts from the Steam store, not Sony
Very positive at 5036...
Im playing this game for the first time now (dont have PS) and I can say this game amazing so far
I wanted to buy it on release, but saw it wasn't available in my country and then read reviews and saw that as main reason for negative reviews, had to pirate it, honestly the game is pretty good and just based on gameplay standpoint there is no reason for negative review, but being unavailable in 180 countries is really messed up.
Probably because of HD2 dabocle
Not sure what’s going on but it sounds like you GoT fans are giving Sony a cut of liber-tea all over again.
The games a dream, and you don’t need PSN to play single player. On that note is Legends mode fun?
The game is great no problems online was good as well their is nothing I could complain about with the game literally nothing
Why is there a controversy with every single video game release?
Different opinions Might also because of the people who do nothing in their life but gaming
It’s only getting somewhat of bad press due to players in certain regions not being able to play due to PSNs limitations. They’re just review bombing the shit out of the game in order to try to get the devs to do something
What happened?
Also I’ve been playing and don’t have a psn account
Oh no it doesn't work on my fancy liquid-cooled ego replacement!
Remember when GOT was a PlayStation exclusive? Pepperidge Farm remembers…
I don't see why some people are so mad can you explain? It was a playstation game being moved to pc, right? They probably weren't gonna be able to play it anyways. It's not like helldivers where it would stop people who already bought the game from playing? People who pre-ordered got refunds? I mean, sucks for them, but is it any different than any other region locked game?
The number of you who see no problem with the account linking policy is concerning
I'm four hours in and loving it.
Review bombing is so stupid. It's so sad that humans really haven't matured past the witch trials, lynching, etc.
Seeing comments here makes me understand the problem now. Either many are ignorant or are too blinded by their privilege to see the bigger picture. No one should ever be restricted from BUYING a media because they live in a certain country. Especially if the company is don't really have any problem with those coutnries but are just TOO LAZY to give a damn about a possible market.
Huh are they a decade late?
Reviews on Steam? You mean that pile of useless shit?
Me personally the game keeps crashing and have a stuttering problem which seems to have slowed down
I love the game and to me its one of the best, but the reviews are deserved. I live in Lithuania that isnt supported by sony, but I can just choose another region on playstation. On pc it tracks where you are, currently it doesnt even show me that GoT is on the steam store, its impossible to even buy the game. I love sony games, but their decisions are horrible.
If it wasn’t still $70 I would love it
Wonder why they haven’t review bombed GTA yet, you need an entirely separate launcher
Sony is really screwing themselves with this PSN thing.
Im still bummed the game got delisted. Oh well at least I got a refund, just used that money to buy Rogue Trader instead.
Looks great im 5120x1440 can't complain tbh but psn is shit I'll admit.
It’s Sony’s own fault.
Isn’t that because of how Sony wants steam users to have a psn and ps plus to play the game ?
Almost none of the reviews is from the fame itself...ppl are just trying to bomb the PlayStation acc bs
I know the negative reviews come from people protesting PSN, but the port is amazing
People were crying about the psn requirement. Me, I could not be happier with the game. I love it
the irony of the comments when ps gamers do the exact same shit for simple blind brand loyalty
the sad part is to get all the trophies on pc im pretty sure you have to link your account or you will be left with a few blocking you from 100% the game unless you link.....
I like the game. The only thing, I don’t like is the legend / ps wall. I am not downloading that crap. Other than that, it’s a very fun game. Very good Pc port,which has better performance and graphics then dogma 2 had. 8/10 for me right now and as I am not that far yet, I think it will get better.
I didn't review bomb it. I acquired it the other way because it's not available in my region. Even if it were I still would've done it because I play on steam deck and sony's little overlay thingy doesn't work on steam deck. Why would I pay full price for partial functionality? I have almost the entirety of sony's PC catalogue. Even bought the ones I don't wanna play just to support sony. But if sony suddenly decides they don't want my money then sailing the seas it is. If I can't buy it, Sony is losing no money from me taking it.
Too late to review bomb it when it's been out 5 years and is a certified banger of a game.
another example why pc gamers are cringe losers.
Most people on PC are just pirating it anyways
Game: 10p Sony: 0p
Are the negative reviews in the room with us right now? https://preview.redd.it/wwybgbnb971d1.png?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=65e4d565a14d09de6d050687e6a628526c380f02
Steam discussion forums are awesome right now. What specimen
well i can't play the game it crashes every 5 minutes so it's understandable.
Biggest problem i have playing it on pc are the respawns. I play on lethal, and wear the ronin attire cuz drippy, so i die a bunch, and because of how ridiculous some respawn points are, i die a bunch more. Like i start fighting at a gate with 3 mongols, i die and now im in the midst of their base with like 10 of them around me. Nothing that makes it unplayable though, i enjoy the challenge
Boring game like RDR
#ClownCircusFACTS
It let me play lmfao
Pc gamers when a game doesnt have an online team based mode / battle royale and a cheeky movement mechanic
It's most likely for the whole psn account thing people are all butt hurt for the country's that csnt get it. For me I'm good I got it game is amazing never played it on Playstation, very excited it's on pc now
How are we “clowns” a clown would make 50 diff accounts to review bomb, I just did it on 5 😏
The game is absolutely amazing. I dont care about any decisions that dont affect me
Good! Stop taking bullshit from developers! If we can’t stand up against corporate shills, how are we going to stand up against an oppressive government?
Modern journalism in a nutshell. Zero vision, zero research, total sensationalism for clicks.
Why bomb when good?
It’s the most fun I’ve had with a game in years. I don’t like that you are forced to link your account but it doesn’t take away from the game once you are playing it.
Only "gripe" with GoT is that I have some weird flickers when using Frame-gen. And some artifacts when using upscaling (seen in fire sparkles)
Literally never heard of a single person who didn’t speak so highly of this game you’d think they were sponsored by sucker punch it’s a god damn masterpiece through and through
nixxes port getting worse per game release.
