    The game is pretty good for what it tries to do: a first-person platformer. However it is in essence an one-trick pony so it is extremely subjective if you're gonna like it. It immediately throws you into its simple action which will be obviously loved by many but for the rest of us the game can feel like an unnecessary chore.

    The game runs horribly on ps4 there is a nasty screen tearing the FOV is unadjustable it makes you want to vomit the game is extremely fun but these thing makes this game just asking for negativity.

    Meh... good, but playing this after running around with a katana in Cyberpunk 2077 and playing the wall running modes in Black Ops 3 just makes this feel really similar. This IS a trial and error game so don't expect any hand holding, or originality because the aspects of the game have been done before.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Ghostrunner tem tudo o que um game de ação deve ter, e também tem tudo que os melhores games do gênero Cyberpunk deve ter. Muita ação, velocidade, exigindo uma boa técnica do jogador.

    O game tem ótimos gráficos, com ambientes urbanos e industriais bem detalhados e cheios de possibilidades. Com um orçamento de game indie, os desenvolvedores conseguiram fazer um bom trabalho nos consoles da geração passada.

    O game tem uma jogabilidade rápida e cheia de recursos. Confesso que a sensação de que o game foi desenvolvido para PC atrapalha um pouco. Os controle, por serem Cheios de recursos acabam por atrapalhar no começo, mas nada que você não vai se adaptar.

    Vale ressaltar que Ghostrunner é um game difícil, e pode acabar espantando os jogadores mais casuais. O game sequer lhe da a possibilidade de escolher uma dificuldade mais moderada, portanto se você é um jogador casual, pode se decepcionar.

    Em contra partida os desenvolvedores foram gênerosos, e o game tem um check point perto do outro. Entretanto, você vai morrer muito entre eles, mas não se apavore, faz parte da curva de aprendizado do game, depois de algumas horas você vai conseguir se sair melhor.

    Resumindo, Ghostrunner é um game muito divertido, principalmente se você gosta de um jogo com ação frenética. Alindo isso a uma boa dificuldade, ao transpor qualquer nível, o sentimento de satisfação vem de imediato.

    Um conselho que dou é não desistir do jogo, por mais que pareça frustrante, com o passar dos níveis você vai se surpreender.

    Somewhat satisfying but occasionally frustrating gameplay, annoying puzzles, and lots and lots of crashes.

    one of the most underrated games of the last generation.

    pros: amazing, fluid, addictive, fun gameplay. perfecting runs and seeing yourself improve and utilising your memory and mastery of the controls is beautiful. there is fustration, like dark souls, but this is what makes it rewarding to progress/succeed. secondly, the music is awesome, one of the best futuristic soundtracks    one of the most underrated games of the last generation.

    pros: amazing, fluid, addictive, fun gameplay. perfecting runs and seeing yourself improve and utilising your memory and mastery of the controls is beautiful. there is fustration, like dark souls, but this is what makes it rewarding to progress/succeed. secondly, the music is awesome, one of the best futuristic soundtracks alongside cyberpunk2077. i also liked the collectibles and the circuit-board system of upgrading, it fits the game well.

    what could have been improved: the story is told through audio, while progressing through levels. the story is not memorable or well told, but i guess it did the job to add in some context to what you are doing. secondly, the ability to change costumes and/or view the swords would have been nice.

    Negative: no major negative comments

    overall: 76/100, a very good game, despite not having a huge budget. also correct pricing. With a better told story and more variety in enemies and less issues with controls, it wouldve been in the 80s.    … Expand

    Ghostrunner frustrates and thrills in equal measure. There is too much trial and error at times, but persevere through clenched teeth and you’ll be rewarded. [Issue#183, p.95]

    Ghostrunner is a game of exciting highs and extremely low lows. When its controls click, it offers a thrilling parkour platforming experience. But these moments aren’t worth contending with its frustrating combat and aggravating bugs. If you’re an enthusiast for first-person platformers and can overlook a glaring lack of polish, Ghostrunner may have some limited value. For all else, there are other genre titles more deserving of your time.

    It will take quick decision making, precision platforming, and skill to beat Ghostrunner. Whilst many of its environments are dull in imagery, they are an important component as to why it plays so well. Its lacklustre story does not take away from the addictive, thrilling gameplay that will keep you coming back. Ghostrunner is an exhilarating, challenging, adrenaline pumping platformer that succeeds in making you feel like a cyborg ninja.
