  • Summary: Ghostrunner is a hardcore FPP slasher packed with lightning-fast action, set in a grim, cyberpunk megastructure.

Climb Dharma Tower, humanity’s last shelter, after a world-ending cataclysm. Make your way up from the bottom to the top, confront the tyrannical Keymaster, and take your revenge. The streets of this tower city are full of violence. Mara the Keymaster rules with an iron fist and little regard for human life. As resources diminish, the strong prey on the weak and chaos threatens to consume what little order remains. The decisive last stand is coming. A final attempt to set things right before mankind goes over the edge of extinction. As the most advanced blade fighter ever created, you’re always outnumbered but never outclassed. Slice your enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to prevail. One-hit one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a never-ending dance with death fearlessly. Ghostrunner offers a unique single-player experience: fast-paced, violent combat, and an original setting that blends science fiction with post-apocalyptic themes. It tells the story of a world that has already ended and its inhabitants who fight to survive.… Expand

    Fast first-person action game, where parkour rules. Ghostrunner is full of surprises, which help to keep the game frest and fun. There is really nothing more you can ask for. [Issue#308]

    Ghostrunner answers the age old question of “What if the combat was actually good in Mirror’s Edge?” It perfectly pairs parkour style free-running with frantic, but precise combat to create movie-like action sequences. This is all backed up by a fun narrative that drives the gameplay forward at a blistering pace. Ghostrunner is honestly a must-have for PC players and the most fun I’ve had reviewing a game this year.

    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. It's not quite as great in telling its story as it is with its movement and combat, and it can be frustrating at times, but when everything works well together, it's a satisfying and fun skill-based action game. If you are looking for a linear and challenging game, pick up Ghostrunner.

    Ghostrunner looks great, plays great and it’s also a great challenge. If you like something different, mixing genres and action-focused, make sure you give it a try.

    It can be frustrating, but Ghostrunner is an excellent game that combines fast-paced action combat with a compelling game world that any fan of action games or cyberpunk should enjoy.

    In Ghostrunner, a single slash divides life and death. It's fast, frenetic, and, even in the face of its weaker moments, endlessly satisfying.

    Put simply, it regularly betrays the cyber-ninja fantasy it's peddling. The speedruns will doubtless be dazzling, and Ghostrunner certainly LOOKS every bit the blockbuster it isn't. How unfortunate, then, that a game about a deadly assassin should suffer from so many critical failures in execution. [Issue#352, p.114]

    Великолепная, жопоразрывающая игра, в которой ты умираешь по 10, 20, 50, а может 100 раз на одном уровне. Несмотря на то, что играем мы заВеликолепная, жопоразрывающая игра, в которой ты умираешь по 10, 20, 50, а может 100 раз на одном уровне. Несмотря на то, что играем мы за машину-убийцу, один выстрел из пистолетика или удар по нам мгновенно убивает гг. А учитывая то, что нам порой придётся сражаться с 5 и более врагами, пройти битву с первой попытки довольно не лёгкая задача. Но сложность тут возникает не только в сражениях, но и в паркуре. Обычно он достаточно простой, но иногда жопу рвать будет сильно, особенно вспоминая вышку, на которую нам надо забраться, или движущийся с огромной скоростью поезд (кто играл, тот, думаю, поймёт). И эти два аспекта и делают игру крутой, ибо что нужно было сделать, чтобы играть было интересно? Хорошую механику и не давать игроку скучать, чего не происходит, ибо постоянно появляются новые враги и новые способы перемещения. Но есть и третий элемент игры, который мне кажется лишним - киберпространство с головоломками. В конце некоторых уровнях мы отправляемся в некое пространство со страной логикой, и там мы либо паркурим (что конкретно там скучно, ибо отключены многие способности героя) и вместе с этим общаемся с архитектором - создателем этой среды, а заодно башни, где живёт ныне население Земли, но об этом немного позже, либо мы разгадываем головоломки, которые мне не особо зашли, ибо просто тупо сидеть и думать по 10 минут, вместо того, чтобы разрезать врагов или эпично паркурить, в этой игре мне не особо хотелось. После решения этих головоломок у гг открываются дополнительные способности, которые обычно долго перезаряжаются и могут помочь только в очень трудных стычках с врагами. Также в игре присутствуют боссы, от которых задница полыхать будет ещё сильнее, чем от стычек с противниками! Касательно графики - игра выглядит просто приятно, ясное дело что это не ААА проект, и ждать графику уровня Cyberpunk 2077 здесь было бы глупо... Сюжет здесь есть, но за ним я не следил, ибо он раскрывается в диалогах персонажей, русской озвучки здесь нет, а читать субтитры в этой динамичной игре... Довольно проблематично. Но если вкратце - человечество живёт в какой-то огромной башне, построенной архитектором, которго убила собственная коллега и установила диктаторский режим, и мы должны её убить. По словам многих сюжет здесь банальный и неинтересный, но кому, мне интересно, он вообще нужен в такого рода игре? По поводу производительности - на моей видеокарте-затычке за 12к руб игра идёт на максимальных настройках в full hd, и ни разу fps не опускался ниже 60, так что владельцы слабых ПК вполне могут комфортно в неё поиграть.… Expand
