Ghost of Tsushima, the highly anticipated single-player open-world Samurai fighting game from Sucker Punch Productions, has finally arrived. As a player, you're probably eager to dive into the game and start exploring its vast map. But before you begin, here are some essential tips to help you navigate through the world and achieve that shiny platinum trophy.

Firstly, it's worth noting that nothing is missable in Ghost of Tsushima. You can complete all side tasks during the story if you choose to, or save them for later in free-roam mode after completing the main storyline. In fact, 90% of trophies will come naturally while working on those side quests and collectibles.

To get started, focus on finishing the main storyline and liberating all regions. Once you've done that, move on to completing Side Tales (quests) and finding various types of collectibles scattered throughout the map. These tasks are crucial in achieving a platinum trophy.

One thing to keep in mind is that there's no save transfer from PS4 to PS5 (only between old gen consoles), so make sure to finish your playthrough on whichever console you're using.

Another important note is that difficulty doesn't affect trophies, so you can play through the game on easy mode if you prefer. However, be cautious of game-breaking progression bugs and make manual saves regularly to avoid any issues.

Lastly, there are no online trophies or multiplayer components in Ghost of Tsushima, so you can focus solely on single-player gameplay.

In terms of time required to platinum the game, it's estimated to take around 40-60 hours (50 hours average for most players). With these tips and a bit of dedication, you'll be well on your way to achieving that coveted platinum trophy in no time.
