    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.

    Juicy dynamic first-person slasher with rare difficult moments and juicy color grading

    Shuriken parts are extremely ridiculous, the game suddenly turns fps and becomes unplayable with the controller.

    The game continuosly crashing, then the turning cubes level in the "cyberspace" has maded by an incompetent level designer, it was exasperating and it maded me almost puking. At last after the half of the game it get much repetitive.

    Very good game. It is challenging, but the satisfaction of clearing a room full of enemies is very high. Really enjoyed it, story is good, incredible music and graphics. Would definitely recommend it. Only default is there is no save point in the level, so when you close the game, you have to do it all over again. 9/10

    Parece difícil no começo, e até frustrante. Mas com prática esse jogo se torna um dos jogos mais gostosos de jogar que você vai experienciar. Eu não consigo descrever a sensação sensacional que é passar pelos níveis desse jogo, estudando a maneira mais bonita de matar os inimigos, calculando as rotas mais rápidas, em sincronia perfeita. Esse jogo é incrível.

    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.

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.    … Expand

    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)

    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

    The graphics are amazing the gameplay isnt. The controls are clunky and un-intuitive and It's hard as nails. I dont know about story as couldn't get past 1st section. I've put precisely 18m 3's into this game and it will never be played again. I must have died a gazillion times (even with assists on) in those 18 minutes. Absolute dribble. Wish I could get my money back.

    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!!!!!!!

    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!

    Ghostrunner was a pleasant surprise. It's a short and fun action platformer that keeps you busy with challenging but fair stages, while smartly mixing things up throughout the experience.

    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.

    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 **** 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.

    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

    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.
