    Feels like a game prototype that the devs never bothered to finish and just released for a quick buck. Extremely short, very little content, no depth to gameplay, no story.

    Couldn't actually play the game after purchasing it because there is no way to invert the X axis. It allows the Y axis, but not the X. I know most people don't invert the horizontal, but some people do, and not including the option prevents these players from actually playing your game.

    Sony has been talking a lot about accessibility lately, but for some reason certain game companies refuse to put this simple option in their game. To include one axis and not the other just seems arrogant.    … Expand

    This is like the Titanfall 2 time trial if it wasn’t good. Wonky feeling controls as you wall run, jump, bullet dodge (one hit and you’re dead) and slash your way through levels you have to memorize in order to get through. Thank God I didn’t pay for this. I deleted it from my system after 15 minutes.

    I'd give this just a decent score. Graphically impressive for a mostly indie title (although 505 backed it and they are huge now.)

    The game has sort of wonky controls that I'm still getting used to as I play more of it. Will I beat the game? Probably not. But I could see this kind of game being a decent playthrough for people into speedrun/one-kill games. One final note: The 120 FPS    I'd give this just a decent score.

    One final note:
    The 120 FPS mode is pointless on a 4k TV as it looks like they took all sense of texture and design out of the game in it. Awful looking on that.

    Re-review:
    Okay i see where people say the game lacks. The controls really hurt you about 20 minutes in. Complete trash of a game if this is the best they could do for controls and how the game functions. Does feel like an incomplete demo.    … Expand

    Awful awful awful controls.
    For a game trying to be all "look! parkour!" this is embarassing.
    Don't even bother.

    This worthless game is so hard that you can't even skip its steps, don't buy it at all and it's not worth playing.

    Buenos gráficos, historia interesante pero ahí se queda, se vuelve repetitivo ya que es un juego de prueba y error, casi nunca vas a poder matar a todos los enemigos de una zona a la primera, siempre tendrás que intentarlo una y otra vez hasta dar con la solución, ya que el juego no tiene libertad a la hora de enfrentar situaciones contra los enemigos, la jugabilidad con control esBuenos gráficos, historia interesante pero ahí se queda, se vuelve repetitivo ya que es un juego de prueba y error, casi nunca vas a poder matar a todos los enemigos de una zona a la primera, siempre tendrás que intentarlo una y otra vez hasta dar con la solución, ya que el juego no tiene libertad a la hora de enfrentar situaciones contra los enemigos, la jugabilidad con control es horrenda! Si quieres disfrutar más cómodamente de este juego, mejor jugarlo en PC con teclado y ratón, los tutoriales ni siquiera funcionan como dicen. En resumen, avanzar, morir, repetir hasta dar con la única forma de matar a los enemigos, continuar.… Expand

    Beautiful 120 fps, razor-sharp edges and an epic soundtrack create an atmosphere so thick you could cut it with a knife. And when a playthrough is finally successful, you can't help but pat yourself on the back and keep playing. [Issue#319]

    Ghostrunner is one of the most polished, gameplay-focused experiences in the cyberpunk genre. It is more than an enjoyable and decent challenge, especially if you're an avid gamer. If you die, it is 100% your fault, so you must try every single strategy that comes to your mind to break the loop. But once you master all the elements of the game's combat, it becomes very satisfying. And I think that's the peak, priceless moment of this amazing game.

    One aspect of Ghostrunner that is consistently impressive is the presentation.
