    I’m giving this game a ‘10’ rating because I think it deserves a higher score than what is shown. I knew going into Ghostrunner I was going to get a fun but challenging experience, but what I didn’t expect was everything else that came along with it. Ghostrunner offers beautiful, finely detailed visuals which takes place in a dystopian setting in a Cyberpunk style world.

I knew going into Ghostrunner I was going to get a fun but challenging experience, but what I didn’t expect was everything else that came along with it. Ghostrunner offers beautiful, finely detailed visuals which takes place in a dystopian setting in a Cyberpunk style world. The game runs beautifully on PS5 at a silky smooth 60fps with Raytracing, or if you would rather have 120fps you can do so, but without Raytracing. I much preferred the 60fps/RT because it ran extremely smooth and looked super gorgeous most of the time. Coming in I thought it was going to be all about the combat and movement(which it is), but I didn’t expect a full story, and this game has a good one that I found to be very interesting with some great voice acting. The Star of this show outside of the beautiful visuals and divine movement/combat is the soundtrack!!! The combination of all three is perfection. This is hands down my biggest surprise game of 2021 and I hope more people play it. 9/10. High replay value!… Expand

    Бодрая, драйвовая игра с перкрасной музыкой и геймплеем, есть пару спорных моментов, но в целом мне очень понравилось, на последнем уровне чуть не разбил геймпад) 370 смртей на уровне в кибербездне, где нужно допрыгать до Архитектора...это адБодрая, драйвовая игра с перкрасной музыкой и геймплеем, есть пару спорных моментов, но в целом мне очень понравилось, на последнем уровне чуть не разбил геймпад) 370 смртей на уровне в кибербездне, где нужно допрыгать до Архитектора...это ад

    This game is fast paced and punishing, but gives you a sense of accomplishment when you get a perfect run. Story could be better, and it’s a bit buggy. Overall an awesome experience and will give you a challenge if you’re looking for one.

    This is one of my favorite games and I'm glad I tried it out via PlayStation Plus. Gets annoying at times, but love it.

    Worth My Time: Yes, it's short. Worth My Money: Yes, it's included with PS+ Extra. What I Like: Has tons of style, but also substance. The mechanics are really tight. Chaining moves together is so satisfying. As far as PS5 ports go, it's one of the few games so far that has a good ray tracing mode, but I still prefer the    Hours Played: 10 Hours

    Worth My Time: Yes, it's short.

    What I Like: Has tons of style, but also substance. The mechanics are really tight. Chaining moves together is so satisfying. As far as PS5 ports go, it's one of the few games so far that has a good ray tracing mode, but I still prefer the 120FPS mode.

    What I Dislike: AI can display erratic behaviour sometimes which can be frustrating, even with the instant respawn. Not the biggest fan of the skill system. Boss fights are extremely underwhelming. Quite a short game with a predictable story and anticlimactic ending.

    How It Stacks Up: I like it more than Mirror's Edge, which was about momentum and puzzle solving. This game is more about precision platforming and optimizing routes. It is a mix between Mirror's Edge and games like Super Meat Boy. In terms of ports of PS4 games go, this one is quite good and benefits greatly from the increased performance. Worth checking out since it's included in PS+ Extra and is a small download. You'll know after the first 30 mins whether you'll like it enough to see through the 7 hours it takes to beat the game.    … Expand

    If you liked the first Mirror's Edge, you'll love this! The gameplay is fast and very addictive, the graphics are very good on PS5 and the music is amazing. A great surprise can't wait for the sequel.

    Very fast paced. Good challenge, sometimes frustrating, always rewarding. Nice tunes. Only disliked some of the Cybervoid puzzle parts. They slow the game down too much.

    Very hard fast-paced game where one hit means your death. Its also way harder if you play on console, so beware because until you get used to controls you will be ragin dying because you used wrong button or you were too fast or too slow. Extremely addicting. You will rage but still play until you defeat level even if it means that you will die over 100 times in each level.

But towards the end where you have it in your hand you will feel super skilled. Music is also amazing. I wanted to give it 9 but the last run after final boss almost had me destroying my PS5 and throw this game in trash even though I was like couple of minutes before completing this game. So 8/10.… 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.
