    Project_Hel might not be as great in terms of level design as the base game, but it’s a fun DLC that tells a good story and provides more space for combat, which results in more intense, more violent gameplay.

    Ghostrunner Project Hel is a fun DLC that is simply more Ghostrunner. It scratches that itch while we wait for its sequel, but it just didn’t feel like enough. There are some aggravating issues and lackluster bosses, but the excuse to play more content may be enough to get some back into this game. Just, be ready for an experience that doesn’t quite live up to the original’s vision.

    Ghostrunner Project Hel is a fun and even more dynamic DLC. We definitely recommend it.

    Ghostrunner returns with seven new levels and two bosses with the Project_Hel DLC. As Hel, we can revive the adrenaline of the game, made of katanas, special powers, walljumps and a constant desire to be more and more effective and precise in completing the levels. The experience is cleaner than in the base game, maintains a greater pace, offers more mobility and it's less frustrating. Remains a bit too much try & retry in some sections and the feeling that the game concept could expand in a braver manner as it already happens in Killrun mode, but the DLC is worth the ticket price, especially if you like to improve your times optimizing each path.

    Ghostrunner Project Hel brings a character with a new gameplay style, which makes the parkour and slashing experience more refreshing, and also improves the fault tolerance rate. However, the game is limited in its innovations. The new enemies only expand the game, but fail to bring satisfying.

    With its new tightly designed stages, and new parkour and combat mechanics, Ghostrunner Project_Hel is a more than worthy purchase for fans of the base game. The new mechanics, however, do not change the experience in any significant way, so those who did not like Ghostrunner will not change their opinion with the expansion. It is good for the most part, but it still is more of the same.

    Ghostrunner: Project_Hel offers a nice addition to the base game, upholding the original game’s amazing soundtrack and visuals. The expansion brings an extra couple of hours of that addictive live, die, repeat puzzle and action format that somehow the developers have managed to make work without frustration. The impact this time around is not as awe-inspiring as the surprise hit of the main game, but Project_Hel takes those foundations and adds a little twist with more combat-based scenarios to find solutions to, but does nothing to push the initial design forward that was formed in Ghostrunner. More of the same, then, although, not a negative on this DLC, since the original was not a lengthy game either. This is one for the fans, giving those more of what they were asking for until the sequel arrives.

    As good as the original with some of the same flaws

    It is incredibly fun to play a murderous evil robot

    My main complaint is that it's too short
