    Very unique, this game needs a sequel ASAP and The Evil Within 3 would be also amazing.

    Conceptually unusual shooter, surprisingly released at about the same time as Shadow Warrior 3, it also an "asian culture" shooter aimed at western audience, with a commentator in the form of a spirit-helper, though the ghost is not charismatic at all, there is even a kind of grappling hook.
    But here we have a story-driven shooter, the plot itself is very banal, the villain    7,1/10

    But here we have a story-driven shooter, the plot itself is very banal, the villain kidnaps our sister from the hospital and we have to rescue her, along the way freeing dozens of souls in an empty city (although not quite, instead of people cats and dogs walking here). The cutscenes are also poorly done, so this is clearly not an aspect of the game for which you need to play it.
    All these abilities out of our hands..of course, the idea is cool, but there is a very small roster of moves, for the first hours you will generally walk with literally one ability - a finger shot, fights are very boring, similar to a "clicker", and the awesome looking ability to let out from hand yellow wires from the trailer, used only for finishings (pulling souls). Next tricks are some kind of fireballs, water waves, green bombs.. in general, banality, it’s not interesting to shoot them. The mechanics also seem to be nothing really original, here, for example, there are the same banal "red barrels" from any shooter, only in the form of red balls.
    That is, the game is missed it`s big potential, it disappointed me, it would be cool if Marvel made a game like this about Doctor Strange, by the way)
    But then there is a beautiful city, good graphics, though only the first levels are optimized, then the FPS drops by 2-3 times, and, in cutscenes, there is just a black screens (which, by the way, is a huge technical fail for a story game)
    Also, the city here is a large open corridor location, with gradually opening zones, and this greatly hinders its exploration, especially at first, because the fog in the city often does not allow you to move away from the story path just a couple of meters.
    Well, you can also probably find some small elements of horror here or study Japanese culture in a local store by reading descriptions of a bunch of edibles with the same parameters that act as a first-aid kits here.

    Tango Gameworks is amazing studio. Almost everything they do is great. Wasn't huge fan of The Evil Within 2, but The Evil Within 1 was near masterpiece. Ghostwire: Tokyo is also good.

    If anyone was expecting horror.....well it's not horror. BUT there's still enough creepy moments and i think what this game really does well is atmosphere and overall vibe of Tokyo. Perfect city for this type of game.

    Overall good game, not perfect tho. Some audio issues, but haven't notice any bugs, so that's good. Would recommend, if you have nothing else to play.

    Nothing extremely special, but these days, hardly anything is anyway. Still better than most AAA games of 2022, so there's that.

    Beautiful and fun game from same studio, that made The Evil Within. They know exactly how to make mysterious and unique atmosphere. Unlike The Evil Within, it's not horror game, it's more action-adventure, but it definitely has some horror elements here and there. Very cool creature and boss designs, just as in The Evil Within, very creative. I haven't finished it yet, but after 7 hours ofBeautiful and fun game from same studio, that made The Evil Within.

    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.

    This isn’t the first game to offer a dense, incredibly detailed rendering of Tokyo, but maybe it’s the first to make you feel like all of that work isn’t window dressing.

    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.
