DO NOT BUY Ghost of Tsushima PC PORT

Hello and welcome back to a new video. So

recently I've been playing the brand new

PC port of Ghost of Tsushima. So this game

came out a while ago on PlayStation 4,

and as someone who doesn't really own a

PlayStation 4 and is more of a PC gamer,

I wasn't able to play the game until now.

And as an avid fan of Japanese history and

also games set in Japan where you play

back in the olden days, hundreds of years

ago, as a samurai or ninja, I really find

these kind of games really fascinating,

interesting. Unfortunately, Ghost of

Tsushima just kind of falls flat on its

face when it's trying to be this samurai

simulator, and I found the game to be kind

of bland, boring, and uninspiring compared

to other games like Sekiro, which I

believe to be a much more fun game with

much more interesting art style and music.

I think FromSoftware just does much better

soulslike gameplay than whatever this game

is supposed to be. This game is kind of

like soulslike as well in the way that you

are surrounded by enemies, You can target

different enemies, you've got block,

parry, dodges, heavy attack and light

attacks. It does play a lot like a Dark

Souls game, but it's not a Dark Souls

game, obviously, in the way that it feels

and looks. So compared to Sekiro, which is

one of my all-time favourite Japanese

games, I'm not really quite sure why I

dislike Ghost of Tsushima, but there's

something about it that feels very dull

and boring, even though the game is very

pretty to look at and the graphics are

pretty good. Characters' faces and

animations are pretty good, the landscapes

and sceneries and the nature stuff like

the trees blowing, the leaves falling from

the sky, it looks very beautiful and

pretty and everything, but for some reason

the game just makes me feel really bored.

The gameplay is extremely boring.

Basically what you do is you spam left

mouse button or right mouse button for

heavy attacks, left mouse does light

attacks, and then you've got dodging and

blocking and counterattacking. So it's

just like any kind of basic third-person

action melee game that you've ever played.

It doesn't do anything new, there's

nothing interesting about it. There's this

little mode called Standoff Mode where you

kind of do like a duel, but all you do is

basically hold down the right mouse button

and release it when the enemy is about to

attack you. You also have these stealth

modes which are really boring. Don't know

why this game is trying to be like a

stealth game because it's not Assassin's

Creed. I think games like Assassin's Creed

or Sekiro, they do the stealth mechanism

much better. This is just kind of boring—

crouch here, run there, run here, don't

get detected. By standing in their line of

sight and then get to whatever point

you're supposed to get to. The stealth

bits felt really annoying and frustrating,

really slowed the pace of the game down.

But really, the combat in the game,

it looks cool because the moves are pretty

cool and there's a lot of blood and gore

and enemies die in a very cool way, but

you're just basically spamming left

button, right button, maybe doing some

dodges, a bit of blocking if the enemy is

more aggressive. But the combat system

really didn't really feel very good to me.

Unfortunately, there does seem to be some

performance issues with the PC port of

this game, and there have been reports of

people saying that there are memory leaks,

and as you play the game for longer and

longer, it gets slower and slower and

randomly crashes, which is not very good

for a PC port. PlayStation, they kind of

need to sort this out. I also find the

main character of the game kind of

annoying and a bit of a wuss and a coward.

So he basically just watches his dad die.

His dad is literally lying there begging

him for help, and then he just like stares

at him. And then he starts crying later

about how he didn't save his dad, his dad

died because of him. And then in the

beginning of the game, gets shot in the

back by a few arrows, and he's crawling

around, he loses his armor and his sword.

And then you go and fight the big fat

Mongolian boss man, and you get beaten

again and thrown off a bridge. And then

he's like crawling back whilst having

memory flashbacks of his past. He just

seems to lose all the time. He's just like

a big loser who whines about Oh, this is

not honourable, that is not honourable.

The woman character, Yuna, I think her

name is, she's actually logical and

sensible and she's like, let's sneak up on

them and slit their throats. But then the

stupid main character is like, no, that is

not honourable, we must face them head to

head even though they outnumber us 20 to

1. So basically most of the game involved

you running up to a bunch of enemy

soldiers, spamming attacks. You can take

one out pretty quickly by just jumping and

doing heavy attack. And then the rest you

just spam attacks on whilst they circle

around you, not really moving or doing

much. Then a few dodges and blocks here

and there, rinse and repeat, and that's

basically the entire game. His head also

looks kind of too big for his body. I just

didn't really like the main character.

He's too whiny and annoying. So

unfortunately, for those reasons, I can't

really give this game a very good

recommendation. I'd have to give it a 6.2

out of 10. It's a nice try at a

Japan-style kind of samurai game, but I

feel like if you want a game set in Japan

in the olden days, there's much better

options like Sekiro and the upcoming

Assassin's Creed Shadows. I think that's

going to be a much more interesting game

than what this has to offer. This is kind

of like a wannabe Souls-like kind of game

as a samurai, but not really very dark. I

wouldn't call it like a Dark Souls game.

It's more like a light Souls game,

which is a bit boring and has very dull

and bland gameplay. So I wouldn't really

recommend this game. It's £50 on Steam.

Right now for a port of a very old game.

I think this game came out like 5 years

ago and it hasn't really changed much

since then. It's not like they've added

much to it. They give you like a deluxe

edition horse or something, but it's not

really worth £50. I would not pay £50 for

this game. Maybe if it came down to like

£20, it would be good for like to

experience the story, do a bit of hack and

slashing. And yeah, maybe the enemies just

are also really dumb. They just kind of

stand around waiting for you to attack

before they attack most of the time, so

they're pretty easy to take down. I was

playing on medium difficulty and I didn't

really feel like anything in the game

really threw much of a challenge towards

me unless I was just kind of falling

asleep and not really paying attention to

what I was doing and I just accidentally

forgot to block or dodge. I kind of feel

like they just rushed out this PC port

mainly because of that Netflix series

Shogun is really popular right now and

trending a lot, so people are thinking

Wow, I just finished watching Shogun. I

want to be a samurai. What game should I

play? Oh, Ghost of Tsushima just came to

PC. Maybe I'll get that. So this seems

like a, like, like a greedy cash grab to

try and cash in on this samurai trend

right now because of the Netflix show.

Was it Netflix? Can't remember. Was it

Apple TV? Don't know anymore. There's too

many of these websites. So yeah, I don't

really recommend this game. I think it's a

bit boring. I think Sekiro is much better

and much more interesting and cooler.

With cool, interesting bosses, much more

satisfying, deadly gameplay. Yeah.

Come here and fight!

To join the Mongol Empire.

Come here, the toad bird.

Your uncle is watching.

Submit, loser guy!

Slay your

throat!
