    Mirror's Edge and Vanquish makes a melee baby called GhostRunner. I really liked the idea, but the execution was poor. The game felt tedious always having to restart over when you just make one little mistake.

    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 game is very pretty, but I didn't get very far due to the difficulty. I can tell there is a lot of fun to be had here if you can build up the skills, but I didn't feel motivated to build them, and the best difficult games make me feel motivated to get better at them (Elden Ring, Metroid Dread). I just don't think this game is in that category.

    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!!!!!!!!

It reminded me of the old school NES games where they take ages to beat but really its actually 2 hours long but the devs wanted to extend the play time by making the enemies hard asf for no reason. The guys will sit there and aim bot you and track you (even if you dodge out the way sometimes) and you get one shot which would've been cool if the bullets didn't move super fast and they didn't straight up track you.

    Looks good and the music is amazing, but both the levels and combat are extremely repetitive, boring and nonsense. I really wanted to like this game, but it simply doesnt make any sense. Only for people who for some reason enjoy dying 20 times over every single combat encounter.

    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.

    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.

    An absolutely horrible game. Its a horrible attempt at a fantasy/FPS sword game with serious parkour elements. However, if you are not perfect at the parkour elements, you wont get past 5 minutes of game play. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME!!!!!!!

    10/10: graphics
    sometimes 10/10 sometimes 7/10: combat, movement; some enemies are not really well designed and movement is inconsistent, just the dash can be pain to control because if you are mid air and clicking (A+shift) you will slow time and dash left but you only slow the speed of the enemies but your speed is the same and when you let go the shift you dash forward but not to left

Some level designs are also meh like the when you are in the head of that guy or something, puzzles were cool but not what i wanted from this game maybe it was my problem... AAAND big reveal i did not finish the game because of the inconsistent dashes i can finish the levels in 20 min but not being able to play like i play doom, splitgate, halo is a big pain. Seriously tho the dashh system where it slows time makes the game too easy and repetetive and not fun i want a real time action. Well i could not finish the game but i hope these devs can make another game where they give us more accessibility options. i don't want puzzles or inconsistent dashes!
    i got it for free from amazon and $30 is not my kind of price i can get much more with it.

    This game sucks! If I’m not dying over and over again to the annoyingly designed enemies, I’m trying to figure out a silly, loose story that’s just dumb and poorly pieced together. Conceptually, you can tell they had a cool idea. The game is however one of the single worst games I’ve ever played. PS5 - WOULD NOT RECOMMEND. It’s so bad they had to have it as a PS Plus title!

    It's a good game but certain just really bugged me. Starting off with the bad things were that the shield balls were over used. Soon as they were introduced it was like every single enemy had them making the bullet deflection perk pointless. After you destroy a shield ball you are then already too close to deflect a bullet.
    Also the enemies aim to where you are dashing before you have
    It's a good game but certain just really bugged me. Starting off with the bad things were that the shield balls were over used. Soon as they were introduced it was like every single enemy had them making the bullet deflection perk pointless. After you destroy a shield ball you are then already too close to deflect a bullet.
    Also the enemies aim to where you are dashing before you have dashed there. Say you press dash at the same time the enemies shoot then they lock onto your location. So many games particular games made by smaller studios have this mechanic. Its annoying and makes the AI feel like, well, AI. I like a challenge and the difficulty of the game is good but this is extremely frustrating because I am pressing dodge at the correct time so the enemy shouldn't be able to calculate that fast. Another huge frustration and this is so obvious and that is the fact strafe is binded to dash. So if you like why can't I strafe without dashing afterwords? There is several buttons on my controller that do nothing and you didn't think to bind any of them to some sort of strafe manoeuvre? Another thing is the sling hooks are dumb. Sometimes you goto sling on them and you get thrown backwards rather then swinging forwards. Then also you can't tell if an enemy is in melee distance. The sword has a bit of range on it which is cool but you can't tell if the enemy is in range so you goto hit them and they shoot you because you missed your swing. It would have been nice to have a red marker to indicate that the target is in range. People mite think I am being picky but these things I have mentioned would overall improve the flow of the gameplay. This game runs on smoothness and when you are moving around and then you goto swing on a hook and you get thrown backwards it throws you off or you goto kill an enemy but you were a touch out of range you don't expect it.
    Overall the story isn't bad but its nothing thats gonna make you grab the popcorn. But that's not what this game is for. It's more of a shooting puzzle type game that gets you thinking quick and makes you try and work out how each encounter must be dealt with. Overall character movement isn't bad but just feels sluggish without sprint in a game like this. I wont take marks off for that thou as this is more of a preference. It is quite fast pace and you need to react to things quickly and always be aware of your surroundings with what enemy to focus on next or what platform to jump to. The map design is cool and the theme really suits the game well.
    Sadly trophies are a rarity and I hope future games are a little more generous with this. I had been playing for around an hour, finished a few levels and got a few collectibles and not a single trophy. Another thing I wouldn't take marks off the review for as its not part of the actual game but just thought I would note if someone was hoping to give it a quick play through in order to boost trophy score.
    You can play this game with a PS Plus subscription so I highly recommend you check it out.

    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.

На моей памяти это первая игра которая дает такой игровой экспириенс. Есть и минусы - это боссы и отвлетвления сюжета в кибербездну. Кибербездна максимально унылая, в ней нет ничего интересного, просто прыгаешь по платформам в тайминг, думаешь когда же все это закончится и я снова получу возможность рубить врагов. Есть и загадки, но они тоже не особо любопытные, или может я просто не люблю загадки в игре где я зашел порубить мобов )) Вроде и разнообразие а вроде бы лучше ничего не делали и оставили сплошное рубилово. Боссы тут просто смешные. Если первый хотя бы обладал каким то геймплеем то второй это просто парирования атак в тайминг и увороты от прожектайлов, так же как и первый босс - увороты увороты увороты .... супер интересно (нет). Хотя на самом деле в первый раз было интересно проходить. Надеюсь выйдет вторая более глобальная часть, с более открытым левел дизайном а не просто коридоры (хоть и дхарма сити не совсем коридор там тоже тебя водят от моба к мобу) В общем .. игра неплохая, перепроходить иногда даже хочется некоторые уровни, порубить мобов и скипая занудные моменты с кибербездной )) Expand

    The robust gameplay is almost ecstatic at times and feels like the right thing to master if you have a spinal cord of a speedfreak goblin. That’s a compliment, by the way. But the supports to the undeniably central role of the gameplay are shaky at best: both the plot and environments feel very superficial and bland, even painfully so at times. The music and sounds overall are nothing particularly memorable too.

    Ghostrunner is to be admired for doing one thing exceptionally well, but it’s not an excuse to half-ass everything else.

    Its just way to fast and hard for an avarege gamer to follow
    Yet when you complete something hard you dont feel satisfied but annoyed you went through such an uneccesarly hard and poorly disigned level

    Only good thing is the movement which is just used for you to avoid and run away from people
    This game could have been like doon eternal if you need many hits to die and more enemies spawn
    And the current game could have been kept as a hard mode

    Ghostrunner is fast paced roller coaster ride of an action game. It's one part 3D platformer, one part action game, and blended together into a game that is somewhat puzzle-like in nature.

It's one part 3D platformer, one part action game, and blended together into a game that is somewhat puzzle-like in nature. The game is structured in levels where the objective is typically: get from point A to point B and killing enemies in a room to progress. The difficulty with the game comes down to the fact that you die in one hit. After several levels there are boss encounters that are either 1v1 against a boss character or a series of challenging obstacles to navigate through to attack multiple weakpoints. As the game progresses, many various enemy types are introduced that will test your free-running skills. You also get new offensive abilities that will alleviate some of the tougher challenges. This amalgamation of different types of games makes for a unique and thrilling cyberpunk experience. The game is on the shorter side, my final play time was roughly 6 hours but the average playtime is around 8-10 from what I hear. The game is highly replayable if you like beating levels with better times and/or less deaths. I highly recommend the game. Expand

    I liked the movement, music and cyberpunk design (especially in the city parts, the industrial halls were just plain boring ) but thought it was a bit repetitive. The game can be easily completed without the use of skills and the story was rather forgettable.

    Boss fights were frustrating and overall I felt Mirrors Edge did the whole parkour movement way better.

    A futuristic parkour game that is not unknown territory to those who have played others like Mirror's Edge, Titanfall, or Cloudbuilt. Designed to be fast-paced and adrenaline-pumping, you essentially go from Point A to Point B while eliminating any obstacles that stand in your way.

    The story is presented to you via dialogue with a few other characters, but you tend to be too focused on playing to pay any heed to it. The gameplay is relatively smooth and the graphics are fair for a cyberpunk setting, albeit a little drab. The game is challenging at times, but that is primarily due to the randomness factor, confusing controls (especially on a controller), and camera being difficult to align in combat. Checkpoints are thankfully plentiful in this game, making it more relaxing to play.

    My biggest peeve with the game, which significantly weighed on my enjoyment of it, was how it would initially keep crashing. It seems to be a known issue, and the best solution I found was to remove any GPU overclock, keep raytracing disabled, and limit the FPS.

    Personally, I think the game looked better with raytracing off, and although not everyone may agree, I thought leaving some motion blur on was actually quite nice. Overall, Ghostrunner was an enjoyable parkour experience, albeit devoid of an actual story and had issues with performance-based crashing.

    I’m just gonna say this in the beginning: Ghostrunner is a masterpiece and one of the best games I have ever played. This review was based on the PC version. Ghostrunner is also available for the PS4 where the visuals are a lot better, and the Switch for some reason. Let me rant about the Switch port for a few seconds. Of course it looks worse, there’s nothing wrong with that but the controls are so unresponsive that it’s borderline unplayable. They should have fixed that before they released it. There is no such issue with the PS4 version. There is a demo on all three platforms, so if you happen to own a PC, a PS4 and a Switch like I do you can try all the demos and decide which is the best for you if you want to purchase the game. Alright, let’s get into it.
    So, first off, the environment looks amazing literally everywhere in the game. The cyberpunk aesthetic is really exceptional, I cannot praise it highly enough. It is just gorgeous, and very detailed even at low resolutions. Now for the gameplay. A lot of people say that it’s somewhat like Titanfall 2 but I disagree. In that game it feels like you float on air and you’re detached automatically after a few seconds. In Ghostrunner there is none of that. You will be glued to walls until you decide to jump off and it really feels like you’re running on walls. I originally expected to get a gun at some point but after a while I didn’t; the sword makes for an awesome weapon and every time I slash someone a bullet with it I feel like a badass. That can be said for the whole game. The entire time I felt like a badass. The games is extremely fair. Every death felt like it was my fault and not the game’s. Even after multiple dozens of death somtimes it wasn’t tedious, they just inspired me more to find the solution. The enemies have a good bit of variety, they make the game really hard although that’s not necessarily a bad thing. New enemies and gameplay mechanics get introduced just about when the ones you know already start to get a tiny bit boring. When you’ve fight a lot of guys with pistols, here come the guys with machine guns, and so on, same for gameplay mechanics. This game always tries something new for you to not even have a chance of getting bored and it works! I hardly ever can say this for any game, but I was not bored a single time I’ve played this. Not once! I have over a day in this game and every minute of it was filled with excitement.The story was interesting enough to keep me going forward even more. It’s not flawless or anything but it’s interesting and gives a meaning to most things. The three bossfights in the game I think were alright, TOM was a bit annoying sometimes, Hel took long to learn how to beat but it was fine, and to me Mara was the easiest, she is so generic. I mean, I would count hitting her 3 times while sometimes she attacks in predictable and easily avoidable patterns and sometimes she makes the floor dangerous, generic. Now that I’m talking about the bad things, let’s discuss the flaws of the game. Some new enemies are just thrown at you without any explanation on how to kill them whatsoever. Same goes for the puzzles. You don’t get ANY hint on how to solve them, just figure it out by yourself! The map is useless. I only ever used it like three times when I couldn’t find one remaining enemy and you can enable a skill that shows hidden stuff on the map but apart from that it has no use. You have markers pointing where to go anyway so why look at the map? Some abilities are fairly sub-par, such as blink. I don’t think I used it more than 3 times and that can be said for pretty much all of the abilities, really. They were somewhat like a second map to me; something I didn’t pay much attention to only when I was starting to struggle with an area. And that was all the flaws I could think of. I think it’s obvious that the positive points vastly outweigh the negative ones. I give this game a 10/10. Ghostrunner 2 has been announced and I can’t wait for the sequel.

    With a GTX 1660 Overclocked edition, coupled with an i7-9700 was able to keep a locked 60 at 1440p, with everything at the highest setting. Definitely worth playing if you like cyberpunk, ninjas, and a brutal challenge. Stay away if you don't like your games too hard. Most levels on the first play through will easily net you 100-200 deaths. Rage is guaranteed, but it is sooo good.

The game is very contextual and much more linear than Mirror's Edge. There is one way, rarely 2 ways you can go. It much more lends a feeling of timed button pushing(prompts) than controlling a bad ass cyber ninja(usually).

    There is a puzzle mechanic when you enter cyberspace which started out boring, became interesting, then got frustrating and I turned it off. Not frustrating in that the solution wasn't clear, but because it was my absolute MOST HATED ASPECT games. It was timed platforming, where you have to wait for a cube to rotate so you can jump on it. Awful. Usually if you mess up you can restart right away(and you will die frequently) and complete a task entirely in maybe 10 seconds. In this puzzle you just had to sit and wait to retry your floaty jumping on a rotating cube, after waiting about 20 seconds for the proper alignment. If you fall(and of course because you're rotating I did) you have to WAIT 20 seconds watching the platform move into position...again...and again...and again. Terrible judgement on the part of the developer to put something like that in the game. You cannot skip the puzzle sections, you can not restart at the beginning of the the puzzle section. I just restarted the entire level because I couldn't be bothered redoing that section based on where the checkpoint was in the puzzle. I will probably avoid games by these developers for that reason alone. DO NOT PUT TIMED PLATFORMING SECTIONS IN YOUR GAMES. Timed platforming sucks, and water levels suck, don't do it. Stop doing it.

    The slow mo mechanic is in this game is cool, but only activates when you are in the air. This makes it difficult to do more complex moves without using the grappling hook, because you basically need to bunny hop, and because jumping is floaty, it can be hard to tell when you are in the air or not. They should have just used a simple toggle for slow motion. You also basically need to use it because in most cases the enemy tracking will hit you if the enhanced mobility slo motion provides isn't used.

    DON'T PUT TIMED PLATFORMING IN YOUR HYPER FAST NINJA MURDER SIMULATOR.

    This is one of the best games I've played in a while. It's a mish-mash of all the best parts of various games: the one-hit death mechanic of Superhot, the level length of Mirror's Edge, the wall-running of Titanfall and a lot of the art style, platforming and level design from a little-known game called Deadcore. Whilst Deadcore did some truly unique things, it quickly got overcomplicatedThis is one of the best games I've played in a while. It's a mish-mash of all the best parts of various games: the one-hit death mechanic of Superhot, the level length of Mirror's Edge, the wall-running of Titanfall and a lot of the art style, platforming and level design from a little-known game called Deadcore. Whilst Deadcore did some truly unique things, it quickly got overcomplicated by the fourth level, making it difficult to see the path amongst all the various platforms, mechanics and enemies. This game has resisted the temptation to overcomplicate levels, mechanics and enemies, whilst still providing plenty of novelty throughout the 17 levels. The length of the game varies greatly on your competence, but on a first playthrough, expect it to take around 8 hours or more, depending on how long you spend looking for collectibles.

    The level design has decent variety, with a few boss fights thrown in amongst the fast-paced platforming and combat encounters. Visually however, the game looks uniform, it's just the placement of assets that differs. Though the game is difficult, it is generally quite fair and not frustrating at all. This is mainly because checkpoints are frequent, and there is a dedicated restart button which instantly resets to the checkpoint. No waiting, no loading. So even if you finish a level with over 100 retries / deaths, you don't feel bad. What does feel awesome however, is replaying levels and improving your times. It's an incredibly satisfying game to play and even attempt to master, due to its extreme fast pace.

    The stellar gameplay and controls are complemented by a suitably awesome electro soundtrack. The dystopian ultra-futuristic AI-controlled setting and story telling - which is done exclusively through dialogue whilst you play the game, rather than through cutscenes - is another strong point. That said, the story itself is rather pointless and doesn't have anything interesting to say. No character development, no (unexpected) plot twists, and certainly nothing deep. This game is all about the action, and to be honest, that's perfectly fine.

    Aside from replaying levels for collectibles, which can also be cosmetics (swords and gloves), there is a Hardcore mode which puts more enemies and enemy types throughout the game, making even the first level harder than some of the later levels in the regular mode. This will surely please those who want the ultimate challenge.

    Visually, the game looks great and runs well too. This is definitely one of those games that you want a high refresh rate for. It supports NVIDIA's DLSS 2.0 and also ray-tracing; although the latter is monumentally pointless; it has almost no discernible visual impact yet more than halves your framerate. In a fast-paced game like this, it serves no purpose.

    The game has some issues. Firstly, there are no global leaderboards, so you can't see how you compare to others or race their ghosts like you can in Mirror's Edge. There is also only one level in the entire game which is purely platforming. Whilst this isn't a pure platformer, I think the movement mechanics lend themselves well to that sort of gameplay and it would've been nice to see a few short platforming time trials, perhaps as an additional mode or DLC.

    Gameplay-wise, my biggest complaint is with the skills. Throughout the game you unlock different abilities and a Tetris-block upgrade system for choosing your enhancements. There are 4 abilities and you can toggle between them, but in practice, only one of them is useful. The "Tempest" skill is a blast than can take out multiple enemies, and there is an upgrade which refund its usage. Abilities require meter to use, which is primarily built by taking out enemies. Since you only have a few chances to use skills within a level, you have to be very deliberate when you use these skills. Unfortunately, everything is significantly weaker than Tempest, and combined with the fact that you can get free usage through multi-kills, it basically makes every other skill redundant for most of the game.

    The game also has a running theme of puzzles in between levels, as a filler for the dialogue-based story. These don't really add anything interesting to the game, but make for a more relaxing change of pace and visual setting.

    Overall, Ghostrunner is a refreshing platformer which nails the cyberpunk theme and fast-paced gameplay, fusing some excellent mechanics from various games and makes you feel like you're in The Matrix playing as Genji from Overwatch. whilst also adding its own style and innovation. If you like speedrunning games, this is definitely one of the best. It's challenging, but not overly complex. Whilst it's definitely not perfect, the gameplay and controls are sharp. I really hope to see a sequel or additional content - I'd love to see more games like this!

    i think the biggest thing holding this game back is a sort-of lackluster combat.
    Now don't get me wrong, i've enjoyed my time with this game (6-10 hours)
    but it feels like the gameplay is really linear without much verticality.

    music is really well done (reminds me of the payday 2 soundtrack)
    story is somewhat good but not that well written
    gameplay is kept fresh throughout the game with new mechanics and foes

    For summary,
    this is a great game to snatch for 15$ and finish in about one-two days,
    but it wont be remembered as one of the best FPS of this year IMO

    -level design is great, but it's expected to occasionally get caught on a pipe or something while wall running and being forced to simply die and retry the section. the level design assumes you already know exactly how to traverse a level.
    -very lackluster story, typical "your ally is actually the bad guy" type deal. also there's a hefty amount of forced exposition. the story, in a nutshell, "oh yea basically there was this apocalypse and humanity is at risk and let me tell you about these things that ultimately the player wont give a **** about." it's mostly tell and not show, so if you're expecting an elaborate story, you'll be sorely disappointed
