    Unfortunately this game does not give you anything special to consider. Everything is average level. There is no characters progression or deep story. Storu is in the first 10 minutes and in the last 10 minutes. Open world is average with a lot of copy-paste. Music, effects and gameplay are fine, but nothing new. Expected much more from this game.

    In terms of visual design, I believe the game is quite impressive. The effects and visual details, especially, contribute significantly to the gaming experience. However, I encountered some issues with playability. While the animations look good, the game can sometimes become monotonous, and certain areas feel empty.

    As for the story, I couldn't fully immerse myself in it, primarily due to my inadequate English language skills. Therefore, I can't provide a critique in this regard.

    In conclusion, "Ghostwire: Tokyo" is visually striking, but it seems to have some weaknesses in terms of playability and mission repetition. Proficiency in English might be required for a deeper understanding of the story. I recommend considering these factors when evaluating the game.

The game does have a number of disappointing flaws, from the repetition of the late game to the disjointed and flimsy story, but overall this was one of the most dense and interesting open worlds I've explored in a long time. Due to the nature of its crowded streets, it's not an exaggeration to say I was discovering something visually striking at nearly every corner I turned. Not only did they make Tokyo an interesting city to explore, but they settled on a modern yokai influence to the game, and created a combat flow revolving around switching between a small pool of magical finger guns to best approach the enemies. While the repetition does eventual drain the game of it's entertainment value, I think this is a really great game for a certain group of people, specifically, anyone that owns any type of anime girl merchandise.… Expand

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

    Very repetitive gameplay. The plot and characters are completely uninteresting. It's not the worst game I've played, but nothing more. Graphics are normal. The optimization is not very good.

    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.

    This is a game mostly about exploring, jumping and gliding, a japanese city on a rainy night while searching for souls and interacting with cats, dogs and yokai that act as vendors or grappling hook points. The combat is so simple you dont even look forward to it, could have been a great game if the combat was good and the city more fleshed out.

    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

    Repetitive. Mediocre looking, best looking thing is combat effects. Combat is very limited and not engaging enough, shoot shoot shoot rip glowing thingy out.
    Story is forgettable, boring and cut scenes are annoying.
    Collectibles, ridiculous amount, some of them are really useful and I hated the annoying hunt for them.

    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.
