    Combate muito simples e repetitivo, ambiente pode ser pouco explorado, missões e items a serem coletados são muito repetitivos e os gráficos deixam a desejar.

    A ambientação do jogo é um ponto positivo.

    Boring and repetitive combat, empty city which is uninteresting to explore, annoying platformer elements, waste of your time and money.

    Not a good game at all, gameplay, optimization, story prety much fails on all fronts. Which is sad, becouse i love Japan culture, but it is what it is.

    im so angry that i made this account only to write this review.

    The world is ok i like tokyo as a setting and the enemy types is cool just not enogh of them. its like 3-4 enemy types for most of the game only with some diffrent hats some times this gets boring fast. the story is ok the best part off the game. if you want to play this game just play the story and some side quest    im so angry that i made this account only to write this review.

    the open world gets borring fast and seems to be just added becuase they can. it has nothing to add to the game and its just borring afthe a few houers

    and then the worst part if you want to 100% this game get readu for HOUERS of NOTHING while you wait for some RANDOM events. SO FUN to go through the empty open world and doing NOTHING thats so fun.

    the only thing that i need to get the platinum is 2 Hyakki Yako events. the last one did take 3 HOUERS of nothing to spawn. i did just walk and killed enemyes for more ammo that i dont need. and i still need to do 2 more? this is just stupid. never played a more disrespectful game ever.    … Expand

    Boring and uninspired. The combat is painfully simple and the gameplay shallow overall.

    Main story is about 5h long and doesn't really make sense, side content is T-E-D-I-O-U-S and gameplay gets old pretty fast. Looks pretty outdated. In game dialogues are the same 20 lines over and over again. Overall the game is not really fun and caracters are really bland. Would not recommend, felt more like a chore than a game.

    This game is complete garbage. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The greedy developers were too lazy to make the combat deep. When I pay $60, I expect a combat system with depth and detail.

When I pay $60, I expect a combat system with depth and detail. All the developers did in this game is put pretty colorful lights during every move, to give players the illusion that the game is fun. None of that is fun for me. Speaking of combat, there is a combat style that is extremely cringeworthy. It consists of the protagonist shooting "ammo" with a hand gun gesture. What is he, a manchild? The physics are trash. The graphics are outdated for a next-gen AAA game.

    For goodness sake, why are video game developers so obsessed with adding bows and arrows into almost every game? Enough already. This just goes to show how out of touch these developers are with gamers. I don't know a single gamer that actually cares or talks about bow and arrows. Hunters would be more interested in bow and arrows, not gamers. Even then, almost every hunter I know prefers guns over bows. It's no wonder why an almost 9 year old game like GTA V continues to outperform modern games in sales. Speaking of GTA, there are so many cars parked around the city and you can't even drive any of them. The developers were too cheap and lazy to add driving mechanics. Even the newest Kirby game lets you drive a car, and that's where it makes less sense to have cars. That's embarrassing. The story is horrible. The lazy developers used the story as an excuse to make the open world empty and lifeless.

    There is no multiplayer. So once you beat the main story, this game will go back to the shelf and collect dust. Charging $60 for game with no replay value is a cash grab. The developers were too greedy and lazy to give us multiplayer. I only recommend you buy this game until it is $5.    … Expand

    The game is unplayable with the controls. The right stick/camera control is horribly laggy and feels like really bad stick drift. I switched controllers, closed the game, restarted the system, and everything else I could think of doing. This issue is in game and makes it unplayable for me. I couldn't get into it because the controls are so bad.

    A more detailed review will come soon, but for now this is just a weird looking game void of any imagination or creativity.
    It's neither horror nor sci fi, nor mystery, and not even a wasted potential. In fact, I can't believe somebody could've green lighted this project.

    Come on, guys! Seriously?
    Why not give us Evil within 3 instead, or start another gory franchise like the first Evil Within?

    The gameplay is very very bad!!! I did not enjoy playing. On the contrary, I was nauseous. I won't give any spoilers from the story, but it's a disappointment. There is nothing interesting in the game except the graphics. It looks like we have purpose in this game, but it isn't. Stupid missions in a city full of stupid bots.

    ah yes!, another exclusive game and another refund request, it's very bland but a nice recreation of Tokyo, the quests not creative enough. it's ultimately fetch quests at the end wait till it's free on gamepass the only place it deserves to be there

    Es obvio que es el mejor juego de acción porque salio primero en PS, es lo mejor de lo mejo, no hace falta decir tus características simplemente es bueno y posible GOTY porque salio primero en PlayStations.
    Por eso le doy un 100 de 100.

    Unplayable on PS 5 because of terrible input lag. Some guides available promising to fix it with some different settings, but it barely helps. Play it on a PC with mouse and you will get much better experience.

    Repetitive game with a forgettable story. I started off the game hoping that the game will get better, but by the end of it, was glad it was over. Good looking game, but that does not matter after a couple of hours of playing.

    Here’s the thing: we are acutely aware, and are growing wary, of games that find creative ways to have empty, ghostly worlds. The reason for this approach is that it’s much more work, much more costly to create a living, breathing world in a game.

Other developers also throw in “very challenging combat” as a barrier to progress, requiring even less put into a game. Meanwhile, we are now asked to pay $70. With each empty world or “Soul’s like” game (to be clear Ghostwire: Tokyo is not the later, only the former) we are less likely to hand over the cash. Eventually we will lose interest in gaming entirely.… Expand

    One's feelings about the game start with "oh my God, what did I buy", move on to "hey, it's not all bad - let's destroy one more tree", only to realize in the end that you're actually doing the same thing over and over again and that you could spend your time in a more entertaining way.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is an interesting new mix of horror 'shooter' with excellent enemy design and aesthetics, but relies strongly on its eastern thematic to stay interesting past a certain playtime. However, despite the repetition, it does it's best to offer enough to keep players invested and interested enough with its variety and story, especially if you have even a slight interest in Japan or its vast mythology.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a memorable journey that never overstays its welcome. With a unique combat system and plenty of options for exploration, it makes an admirable effort to keep players engaged even after the credits roll.
