    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.

    I loved every single second of the game. The balance between difficulty and the fun is just perfect..

    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

    Ghostrunner was the first experience in a game that needs a very fast reaction, good graphics, interesting collectibles, very good soundtrack, amazing game design! I felt like a real Ghostrunner xD

    One of the games that makes you die over and over again
    The last boss design in the game is disappointing

    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 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!!!!!!!!

What really made me upset was the enemies. 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. Game was played on PS5.… Expand

    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.

    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

    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    10/10: graphics

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.    … Expand

    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.
