    Original and interesting. Finally something new! The art style is amazing, and the combat system is a breath of fresh air

    Another great game from Bethesda, action packed with maybe things to do or interact with, it's kinda reminding me mix of Dishonored and Far Cry.

    Great environment, great graphics, great sounds (everytime the boss started his speech on the big screens, I jumped). Great game indeed.

    If you like Japan and its folklore you are going to enjoy this game, that is if it does not stop being a generic open world with a fairly poor combat system, the secondary missions have surprised me very positively, thanks to them it reaches an 8

    I was very disappointed when I saw the negative reviews of this game, but when I started the game, I was really surprised. The game has a great atmosphere and interesting environment. If you are interested in Resident Evil and Apocalypse game style, be sure to try it.

    I got my money returned and i bought a game in another region. I enjoy it more than i think i would! Good adventure for 14-15h or you can clean the map in 30h or so. Plot is pretty cool and side quests is better than usually in open world games. A little to much grind, dualsense effects could be done better, but overall wort its money and my time. Good game, would recommend!

    One of the best PS2 games I've ever played, and I mean that as a compliment. Obviously the graphics look far better than a PS2 game, but the concept, mechanics and mission design all feel like the sort of weird third-party stuff we used to get back when publishers weren't afraid to take a chance on the freak picks for the niche audience who would enjoy them.

    It's probably worth mentioning upfront that if you're not remotely interested in Japan, its culture or folklore then your enjoyment of this game will probably be significantly lessened as, at its core, its just another open world checklist game.

    90% of the side content is basically experiencing Japanese urban legends and the main missions usually amount to little more than 'go here and have a fight, watch cutscene'. In truth, I'd struggle to tell you why I enjoyed this game as much as I did, yet I happily floated all over Tokyo getting 100% completion, and I'd probably do it all over again.

    What's here is far from perfect, but I would really love for this game to perform well enough for a sequel because I think there's a rough diamond here that deserves to be polished.    … Expand

    I had alot of fun with this one. The open world did get repetitive after awhile but it had alot of heart and some really awesome animations for combat. Once you unlock all your spells the combat really becomes more engaging. Id recommend especially with the latest update adding more story

    It’s just so good it reminds me of dishonoured a lot but the graphics are so good the lighting and everything think what mods would do to improve the graphics, also the powers like water and fire are so pretty

    A fun first person game with a nice abandoned Tokyo setting, swarmed with urban creatures. The open world aspect of the game is really nice and takes first person gaming in a new direction. Would highly recommend if you're looking something new to play.

Loved the gliding and jumping from rooftops and shooting magic beams from my hands. The main characters Akito and KK kept me engaged in the story. I enjoyed their back and forth banter and the chemistry they shared. I felt like I learned a bit about Japanese culture and about the icons they use to represent the dead and afterlife. I would recommend doing as many side quests as possible because the main campaign will only take a few days to complete if you streamline it. They’re definitely worth it and not fetch quests.… Expand

    This game reminds me of The Yakuza Series in so many ways. The side missions, the whacky feeling in some funny situations, the dialog that resembles the conversation between the gang in Yakuza 7. The art design makes me feel like I'm replaying the original Judgement. It's pretty awesome that it resembles it but stays true to its creepypasta roots.

Although it's easy enough to play it without being scared, there are some monsters, such as The Lady in Red that truly creeped out. I can't say so much for the main story though. It seems very basic and it doesn't quite explore anything relevant. Just plain old saving my sister. Gameplay is phenomenal, intuitive and always blows me away. I would highly recommend.… Expand

    Could have given it a 9 if ain't were for 500+ collectibles.

    Pros 1. Very different kind of first person gameplay that kind of appealed to me 2. RT reflections on PS5 look surreal 3. You feel like a badass at the end with so much power at your disposal 4. Monster design is creepy and gives you an insight into Japanese folklore. My first showdown with Kuchisake was scarier than I imagined    Could have given it a 9 if ain't were for 500+ collectibles.

    Cons
    1. TOO MANY COLLECTIBLES 2. Frame pacing issues in quality mode. Ultimately I had to settle for quality performance mode which limits resolution to 1080p with RT enabled as RT is must in this game.
    3. Screen tearing issues in some modes.

    Super cool console exclusive that does a things little differently.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Overall a well put game, a few bugs and glitches but loved the little humor that was in the game. There was a little bloat -a lot of side missions but can't complain about that, makes the game the way it is. I feel like the story could have been a bit longer, in the end the last 2 chapters felt rushed. Overall I would recommend to play the game at least once. I love that you can pet the dogs and interact with the cats my favorite part in the game… Expand

    Wanted to give it try and it was very enjoyable and smooth game. Story was pretty good and the city was very beautyful. Combat was little bit different than most games or that what i feel and it was smooth and funny.

    Sounds = 9.5

    Mucha carga emocional y combates desafiantes.

    Desde luego tienen que jugarlo todos aquellos que disfrutan con el anime y lo japonés. Saludos!

    Unique game. Light horror FPS game with gameplay that has action magic system in Japanese folklore theme happening in modern Tokyo. I really liked it. Story was a bit weaker and maybe too simple. Overall 8/10.

    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.
