    Visuals and music were spectacular. This game was would have been 10 for me if not for the repetitive style of fight after sometime and every skill being introduced within short time

    A beautiful and simple game. The systems works finely, and the narrative is pretty much ok.

    O trailer me deixou bem confuso, eu não sabia se era um game de terror ou um game de tiro.
    É um game de tiro... Mas tem umas partes de terror leve... Mas na fase da escola é terrorzão :D
    Estava no gamepass. Por ser um game de mundo aberto, eu não achei que fosse gostar. Breve engano, me fisgou muito rápido.

At first lets talk about graphical part of the game another great aspect of the game except rain realization (as for me its really sucks) but i guess it's all about dlss and without it, rain looks a bit better, also good to notice that game with rtx and without looks kinda similar (i mean that reflection and overall light system looks really good). Design of enemies is als on high level as design of city (yeah, i love tokyo vibes so i think it hard to make it looks ugly). Sound part is ok it has japanese vibe but nothing special. as i mentioned before you need to beat different types of ghost using various abilities that can be also improved. so it really fun to combine different spells to beat group of enemies or even bosses that contain that game. another aspect of gameplay is some kind of parkour that present in the game. But its not traditional parcour you use your ghost power to climb on top of giant tower or so on, combine that with stunning looking tokyo present perfect immersive experience. as conclusion game is really good but with small minuses but if you like some mysterious thing like ghost and so on or in love with japanese culture that game probably for you. also it no so long so you can beat it in two or even one evening.… Expand

    The game has a beautiful environment. Great references to Japanese folklore and one of the greatest atmospheres built by an open world in my experience. The combat is innovative enough and I find it really fun, but I can see why some people would find it repetitive after a while. The story is ok, and I really liked KK as a character.

    واقعاً یه بازی خاص با فضا سازی فوق‌العاده است ، گیم پلی نو آورانه و باحالی داشت، توکیو رو به بهترین شکل ممکن طراحی کرده بودن که واقعا خوشم اومد، داستانش داستان کلیشه ای بود ولی بد نبود، گرافیکش هم خیلی خوب بود

The atmosphere of an empty Tokyo filled with ghosts and demons of Japanese folklore. A lot of different items and food that the game tries to show to the player, because these items are something like a "Japanese highlight". The combat system is the famous Japanese signs and talismans with corresponding animations and sounds. Interesting activities on the territory of the deserted city... All this is a potentially cool idea, which is almost perfectly executed. But that game has and it's own problems:
    1) All the time the game did not leave me with the impression of some insipidity and superficiality.
    2) Enemies and ghosts are some kind of "cardboard", Basic expendable phrases (like those that the hero utters after another secondary activity) are exactly the same and childishly primitive (I was already starting to get annoyed when, after the hundredth enemy, I heard the same "So literally have a finger in your mouth not put.").
    3) Conceptually, the combat system is very good, but it is somehow extremely superficially implemented and not interesting. All fights with all enemies +/- are completely the same. Bosses were not interesting, although varied.
    4) I am such a person who even in not the best "open worlds" likes to explore these Worlds, but in this game I felt uncomfortable and only wanted to level-up myself as soon as possible for the speedy completion of the game.
    ...So as you see, I was not very satisfied with that game, but it definitely gave me some interesting experience. And it was something new(about ghosts in nowadays and etc.).    … Expand

    Beginning is mysterious and such atmosphere is present more or less whole game.

    Walking within streets, jumping on the roofs and collecting all what you can is just fun. Reason for hunting all what you can is appealing because rewards are good for maxing out your character. RPG elements are not something really needed maybe except creating bird to pull to, but almost all little bonuses makes game feel a bit better and better and allows you to try out what combination are most effective and what combination makes you feel like good wizard.

    Maxing out character is present whole game and once you learn how much damage and time you need to release ghost to their realm, you are trying makes your personal record higher. Its rather fps game but stealth is fun too and overall playing with detection system brings fun tension along with "how many ghost I can send to their realm at once".

    Graphics is great. Of course it can be seen graphics is more focused for consoles, nevertheless all makes world believable even though its rather fantasy. Lightning and contrast are simply superb. Black is black, white is white, no crap like in many games where sometimes you feel like fog is present.

    I guess it can be 8/10 but this game is simply so fun, atmospherics, no frustration, great fluid combat, satisfying progress. You can simply run through game and enjoy every aspect. For example side mission are nice, are short and are helping create atmosphere and learn how people in Tokyo are/was living with their dreams and desires, hopes and regret, mistakes and redemption etc.

    Simply: game is fun!

    Ghostwire Tokyo is one of The first RPG´s that really got me the Feeling to be completeley immersed to the World and the Charackters, sadly you have to Play the game with the highest settings to get an really immersive experience, wich the most peapole arent getting. The Genre mix Feels Refreshing and the gameplay is fluid and a average story.

    The Story is not best thing youve ever    Ghostwire Tokyo is one of The first RPG´s that really got me the Feeling to be completeley immersed to the World and the Charackters, sadly you have to Play the game with the highest settings to get an really immersive experience, wich the most peapole arent getting. The Genre mix Feels Refreshing and the gameplay is fluid and a average story.

    The Story is not best thing youve ever seen. Its like the basic Isekai (in to another world) Animes, nothing really speacial. Eventhough the Story isnt this advanced the dialougs are. Many diffrent conversations and you can feel trough Akito and his Buddy are more and more friendly to each other.

    Gameplay is decent as I said before right Timings and Thinking what u gonna do next are important on higher diff. level, what I really recommend becuz on the normal diff. there is no real challange to game and Grind does feel like something you dont wanna do.
    Grinding is actually a big thing in the game and what I wanna tell you is: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU HATE GRIND. Even if you are the biggest Japan Fan and Watching Animes the whole Day, if you doesnt like grinding how its pretty usual in Japanese games you wont like this game and will end after the second chapter.

    Overall Ghostwire Tokyo is a pretty good game there are thing to Improve:

    Enemey AI

    Variety of enemeys over the period of the game

    No complete gamechanging fighting mechanics

    Too Grindy for Many Peapole

    and your Spells doesent have reflections wich is a big deal because water is everywhere here.

    So is the Game a Cop or Drop?
    Defenetly a Cop if you ok with grinding and like Japan or wanna be Mind blowed away from these Graphics. (or troll your firends with youre in Japan with the compressions its like a real photo)

    Defenetly a Drop if youre a Tik Tok user with a 2 sec attention span, if you have a bad pc (no front), if you want a good story, if you not a grinder and want to have extreme challenging fights.

    Hope you can decide if its Cop or u are a Flop.    … Expand

    Everyone in Tokyo is dead, there are spirits around this open world that you free by completing optional side activities that also help level you up much quicker in the game… and crawling around this empty city are these creepy demon enemies that you have to blast with your supernatural powers and pull their cores out with your bear hands or with some sort of……. Ghostwire.. .if you stick to the main campaign theres nothing special here… infact the game would be pretty mediocre if you don’t expore its world.. thankfully youll want to… clearing these corrupted trees in your way, clensing these gates to unlock fast ravel points and clear fog to open up the world more… doing some great and also some rigiuclous sidequests which can really immerse you into this world… these are the best moments of ghostwire Tokyo.. immersing yourself into the side activities.. its just a shame youll so quickly grow tired of this world, youll get used to the spooky monsters, the sidequests will start to feel unnecessary.. the skill tree leaves a lot to be desired so youll stop caring about rescuing souls once you’ve unlocked every ability you care about… so youll probably find yourself like me abou halfway through the game jut sticking to the main quests.. which are good.. but nothing to blow you away… ghostwir Tokyo is fun through.. the combat is tense, youll be juggling through abilities, sneaking up behind enemies trying not to alarm the others… I loved my time spent in this creepy world… my only gripe with conmbat though is this skin crawling nails on chalkboard feeling when you run out of one of the 3 energies and have to switch to another.. I hate it and wish the game would just switch to the next automatically when youre out of one of them… as you do have to destroy glowing items in the environment to refill ammo or pull the cores out of enemies…
    Overall this is a decently enjoyable action horror game, its unique.. its memorable…
    Worth hopping into even if it slowly goes from wow this game is amazing to.. that game was pretty good..

    Just about my only complaint about going back to Ghostwire: Tokyo was that the game doesn’t look quite as nice on the Steam Deck as it did when I played it on PS5 last year. When it rained, it made everything look a little more washed out, and it made it tougher to tell when you were entering a foggy area that was off-limits. You realize quickly enough when you’re somewhere you’re not supposed to be, but it was still a little disappointing. Overall, though, I’ll reiterate what I wrote up top: Spider’s Thread makes a great game even better. Ghostwire: Tokyo didn’t get nearly the level of attention it deserved on its initial release last year, and now that the game is free for Game Pass and PS+ subscribers (and generally inexpensive enough to buy on PC), there’s even less reason why it should be slept on. Do yourself a favour and get it now.

    The unique setting really helps to lift Ghostwire: Tokyo from myriad of problems such as a plain open-world design and lackluster combat. If you love Japan and mystical powers, then Ghostwire can be just the game you're looking for.
