    Ghostrunner is a game that you could be playing forever beautiful graphics, amazing level design every stage feels different and looks amazing to boot.

Everything about Ghostrunner is simply perfection there's pretty much nothing wrong with game I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an amazing action game.… Expand

    The game has a great vibe, it's very fast, but also very difficult (at least for me). I recommend it to those who like quick action and difficult challenges.

    I get what I wanted. Game is fast and sometimes make me furious because it's hard (one shot, one kill). Anyway I really enjoyed. I can recommend this game for everyone who like to play kinda like Hotline Miami but in 3D. Music, graphic and mechanic are the biggest plus, story is just good but not awesome.

    Love Ghostrunner's gameplay, music, story, and style. I strongly recommend this game, but remember that just like Dark Souls and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, this game is a challenge, but the reward of completion is worth the effort 10/10

    Along with Hades and Ghost of Tsushima, best games of 2020. Absolutely gorgeous graphics with fantastic optimization, sheer adrenaline gameplay, very challenging but fair, soundtrack is perfect and the game as a whole made me love it from the demo till the end! The feel of running on the walls slicing through enemies is just so satisfying...

    This is the first masterpiece game since Furi!
    I am absolutely delighted, the developers have tried very hard.
    Perfect music, gripping storyline, and cool mechanics.
    But I would like more emphasis on parrying, more slasher, more melee fights. It would be 12 out of 10.

    Fast-paced, visceral action. Crazy fast restarts. Top 10 Game soundtracks in 2020. Very fun and challenging, some bs here and there. But the movement can get you past all obstacles. The only issue is that it feels too short! Collectibles lore pieces are hidden through the levels and a myriad of upgrades for replayability and experimentation. Lot's of fun!

    -Satisfying combat
    -Beautiful synth-wave soundtrack
    -Levels never get boring
    -Good voice acting

    Cons:
    -There aren't any save points in the level. So if you have to exit the game, you'll have to replay the level to get back to where you are
    -The boss fights aren't too unique, except the first one. The last 2 are just continuous parrying and dodging and then attack.
    -The last level will take a heavy toll on you're pc/laptop, so be prepared for that.
    -Predictable plot, but doesn't matter.

    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.    … Expand

Both for you, and every enemy you face, evening the odds a small bit and keeping the game just difficult enough while still giving the player a large feeling of omnipotence. Thats what this game does so well. Keeping you engaged with a challenge while making you feel like a complete pro at the game. It does this by granting you small ability unlocks in line with the new and improved enemies your climb to the top of the "Tower".

    It's break neck speed game play makes it akin to a "boomer shooter" while still offering other, more innovative ways to take down your foes, with the use of movement abilities, special powerful attacks that charge up over time and various pick ups throughout the levels.

    It rounds it all off with an absorbing atmosphere of flickering neon lights and towering propaganda billboards in a post apocolyptic mega city. As well as the small cries of the tenants in the apartments you speed past as you cut through your foes. To the absolutely breath taking Soundtrack by Daniel Deluxe that you can't help but groove along to during your righteous techno-slaughter.

    In summary, this game is THE hidden gem of 2020 and it is absolutely criminal that it hasn't been nominated for any awards (to my knowledge). My only real issue was the small length of the game, but i suppose no matter how well done a game is, it can't go on forever, sadly. i would of given this review a 9 for that reason, but that too, would be criminal.    … Expand

    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.    … Expand

    To begin with, I am very bad at any plotters and I can blunt games at an average level of difficulty and start bombing. But here everything was clear to me, and although I died very often I never burned. All boshi are different from each other. So I'm waiting for the continuation of this cool game for me.

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.

    This game is a combination of two games: Katana Zero and Mirror's edge set in futuristic universe.

    An absolute Gem of Gameplay and game design. I simply never felt so much of a ninja in any other games before. the whole one shot kill can detract some , but when you understand that the objective is not just to tackle the levels, but to tackle them with style, the game gains a whole other level of deepness.

    The art direction is also pretty well done.

    I absolutly loved this game.

    pros:

    the level designer deserves high praise for the beautiful built maps

    sound and music is really good

    the game play is smooth and fun

    there are multiple ways to complete an area but you really need to watch yourself because one hit will kill you and you'll start the whole thing all over again

    there is some replay value in the game if you want to better your time of completing the level

    there are leader boards so you can compete against your friends and see who died more and who finished the level first

    cons:

    the only bad thing i can say about this game is that its really short it only took me about 5 hours to complete it and at the end i wanted so much more

    in conclusion this game was a blast to play plus it had a layer of difficulty so i had some hard time with it in a good way my only problem with it is again the short amount of time it takes to finish it which bring me to my final score which is a 9 out of 10 i really recommend this game    … Expand

    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.

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

    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.
