    Ghost Runner is a captivating masterpiece that skillfully combines action, platforming, and parkour. The breathtaking graphics and electrifying soundtrack immerse you in a dystopian cyberpunk world. With smooth movements and exhilarating gameplay, this game offers an intense and thrilling experience

    This game is genji from overwatch in a post apocalyptic cyberpunk world and my god it is executed perfectly. My one complaint is that it’s only like 9 hours long so seeing the ghostrunner 2 trailer made me sooo happy omfg

    This **** makes you feel like god when you get good at it in a way not many other games can. Enemies toward the end end up being a little (tiny bit) repetitive, but that might just be because they get more difficult and sometimes more annoying. Overall though an amazing game with lots of cyberpunk ninja stuff.

    This is a video game ass video game. The gameplay is so freaking fun. It feels so smooth and satisfying to run, jump, slash, and use your skills.

I respect that the resets on when you die are instant. Saves so much time. I had a blast with this game. Glad I finally got around to playing it… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Interesting plot with amazing, memorable characters. Gameplay is top tier. You can just play the game and finish it in 7 hours. You can also learn to Speedrun it and finish it in an hour. Skill selling is insanely high with ledge boosts and dash legde boosts. You can be done with this game in 7 hours or put hundreds of hours in it. Graphics are so beautiful you are gonna cry. You are gonna cry even more if you play it in 144hz. One of the best graphics, plots, gameplays, graphics!!!!! Must play and insta classic!!!!!!!!
    I LOVE YOU JACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    … Expand

    Ghostrunner is amazing in a lot of aspects. It is a game created by a small studio but it may as well have been made by a AAA dev team.

    First of all I don't think I've encountered any bugs throught all the time I've played the game. It's astonishing how polished the game is in that matter.

    First of all I don't think I've encountered any bugs throught all the time I've played the game. It's astonishing how polished the game is in that matter.

    Another great thing are the cyberpunk styled enviroments which as the story progresses and location change constantly shift in their both visual and level design while keeping in tone with game's artstyle. They are really fantastic and often can tell a bigger story of the place you're in.

    Gameplay is a fast-paced with advanced movement and your main option of fighting back against the enemies is your katana. There are other abilities that help you with encounters but they come later in the game. The game is pretty challenging but the design of the levels allows for a player to go through them without the need of insane reflexes. However if you're good enough you can just rush through the skirmishes without much of a thought. The part that makes the game hard is that any damage you take is an instant death but everthing you hit is also 1 shot (excluding bosses). It creates a gameplay loop that is satisfying and demanding.

    The only two gripes I actually have with the game is that the main story isn't really spectacular and it won't blow your mind away but it does the job and fits the gameplay. 2nd is that campaign is quite short so you won't spend many hours within it unless you plan on playing it multiple times. There are however side modes that are interesting and can replace to an extent the scripted encounters found within main game.    … Expand

    A very very solid game. Cyberpunk setting, ninja style MC, very fluid 3D platforming/parkour, pretty design/graphics, good music that enhances cyberpunk experience - everything blends in together into a very pleasant experience.
    Sometimes it's not easy, but I never felt it's repetitive, since it is just so fluid and quick - you never stuck doing something, you are always on the move.    A very very solid game.

    This game is good enough for me. It is hard, but you can beat it. Graphically it looks beautiful, story is ok... BUT never play this on gamepad it will be painful. and you better watch video in the beginning

    플레이타임은 정말 짧지만 가격을 생각하면 이해가는 수준. 빠른 페이스와 죽어도 로딩없이 흘러가는 시스템덕분에 게임을 끊김없이 즐길 수 있다. 다만 창의성은 후속작에서 좀더 보완해야될듯.

    You have to play this game no matter how much you pay. You think you are not gonna play like people in intetret? You will learn how to fly on walls after a few hours of play so don't worry. This is not easy game but it's just flow game. I highly recommended (but still it's to expensive for this 10-15 hours of gameplay to max whole game) (review from november 2020)

    Extremely fun, especially if you enjoy parkour fast paced melee combat. Super crazy and over the top, some of the most fun gameplay I've ever experienced.

    If you know what you're getting into, Ghostrunner will be a great game for you to play. Though, its fast-paced and one-shot gameplay might not be for everyone.

    The easiest way to describe Ghostrunner is to call it an illegitimate child of Hotline Miami and Mirror’s Edge. It fails to match the latter in terms of body awareness, but it makes up for it with well-thought-out, satisfying level design and looks great regardless of whether you’re putting your parkour skills to the test, or slicing enemies with your katana.

    Are you ready to figure out the very limits of your adrenaline tolerance? Then play Ghostrunner, a devilishly difficult action game let down only by its slower platforming portions.
