    One of the more interesting games to come out this gen. Cool setting. Nice visuals. Cool premise. Gameplay is pretty good. Reminds of like a slower paced DOOM but flashier and cooler.

    This game does a lot of things very well but it's ultimately a little bit disappointing for me. I think the premise has a lot of potential but in some respects they kind of went about it the wrong way design-wise. The general design of the open world needed more fine tuning I think.

I think the premise has a lot of potential but in some respects they kind of went about it the wrong way design-wise. The general design of the open world needed more fine tuning I think. Or perhaps it shouldn't have been an open world at all. The combat is fun with cool abilities but more could have been done in that department, particularly with boss fights. Visually and atmospherically I think it delivers. Some of the side content feels half-baked. There's too much grind here if you want to go for a completionist run, which I gave up on. Story is interesting and I like how they weave in Japanese mythological lore.… 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

    Ну, что сказать? Честно говоря совсем не ожидал такого от Ghostwire Tokyo, думал получится, что то типа дешёвого Spider-Manа. Но, к счастью, ошибся.
    И так мы имеем довольно грустную, в хорошем смысле, и, иногда, пугающую историю.

    Немного не понравился визуальный стиль, выглядит игра простовато для нэкстгенного эксклюзива.
    А вот боевая система порадовала, необычная.
    Да, играть лучше именно на PS5, DualSense в игре бесподобен со своими адаптивными триггерами.
    Как я уже говорил игра меня даже напугала. Задание в проклятой школе, в которой за тобой бегает манекен, пока ты его не видишь, просто вернул меня в детство. Ощущение непередаваемое.
    Да, игра полностью переведена на русский, но в самой игре какое то дикое колличество японского фольклора, что даже путаешься. Это какие то содзюцуки, ясзотоко, бётара, цутигумо, каппа, ёкай, тэнгу, нурикабэ, каракаса-кодзо, рокурокуби, кодама, иттан-момэн и прости господи дзасики-вараси. И это только малая часть.
    Прокачка не замороченная, но всегда есть во что вложиться. Карта очень схожа с оной в Far Cry или Spider-Man.
    Вид от первого лица добавляет густоты атмосфере игры. Прохождение мне напомнило такую смесь Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor и Fallout 3 , большую часть времени проводишь в одиночку или в диалоге с вселившемся в тебя "напарником".
    Ещё, как не странно, но прохождение многих боссов показались мне намного проще, чем сражения некоторыми рядовыми противниками. Да, о противниках, они очень оригинальные. Это и безликие "джентльмены", и безголовые школьники, и какие то летающие висельники. Короче кошмар.
    И так советую всем и именно на PS5, тем более игра выложена в PS Plus, абсолютно бесплатно.    … Expand

    Weak story, boring gameplay, a lot of useless collectibles ( just to make an illusion of longevity ), small map and is quite short too overall.

    Un gran juego con graficas bellas, diseño de niveles interesante, una historia un poco predecible pero emocionante. El gameplay es bueno y entretenido, aunque los enemigos si son un poco repetitivos. Me impresiona el nivel de detalle con crearon la ciudad y todo el amor a la cultura japonesa. Lo recomiendo mucho,

    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.

    Here’s the thing: we are acutely aware, and are growing wary, of games that find creative ways to have empty, ghostly worlds.

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

    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.

    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.

    The marketing for this game was a huge failure. It failed to emphasise just how cool, Japanese and fun this game is..The marketing made the game look like dome dum hand wavey fps. But the sectoral combat actually works a d with the dee narative of saving your sister it's an amazing game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Cool setting, but at the last 1/3 of the game the chapters are rushing , last 10 hours you play charpter 1-4 and from hour 10-12 you pass 3 charpters thats way to unbalanced. Also its (aspeccially in the end) very emotional but theres no relatible bond to his sister so I cant relate with him.

So an easy 8 if you liked evil within. What they don't tell you about this game is...It's scary. Not evil within horror but psychologically unnerving and tense.

    A solid good game. Some of the side content is really horror based and might scare you and some of it really funny will make you laugh out loud. Tho is too much collectible stuff to gather, if you going conpletionist on this game you might lose you sanity ^^

    Solid game that's best played in PS5 due to better FPS, haptic feedback (Xbox has none), better graphics, better resolution, better everything!!! The additional content that came a year after release isn't that great though. Curious as to why it took so long to release, but it's just okay.

    Looks good. Kind of boring. Not innovative in anyway. The last Bethesda game released for PlayStation is not the worst time you’ll have. The game’s start is a bit frustrating.

In between cut scenes and tutorial screens, it feel less like you are playing the game and more like the game is playing you. The world though, is a colorful and detailed Tokyo that makes the Night City of “CyberPunk 2077” look dull. Too bad Ghostwire Tokyo has no life. Literally, the streets are empty.

    The combat feels subpar. You can sneak attack and snipe enemies or attack them with gloat things while backpedaling. You could call this game “Backpedaling in Tokyo”. Bethesda once angain again proves they are not the masters of video game combat. The ideas are there. Your ghost powered protagonist has 3 different colors for attack and a block button for defense. Enemies need to be beaten down enough to expose their glowing hearts. Some need to be beaten down more than others. All of enemies follow the same a.i. programming: suicidally charge the protagonist.

    Missions and side quests are a mixed bag. Sometimes you are fetching this or defeating waves of that. A rare side quest might have you sneak up on an animal spirit. Despite the paranormal premise of the game, you do pretty much what every game has you do. With different textures and more swinging, this could be Spider-Man Tokyo. Even the ghost vision is just a variant of the detective vision introduced in “Batman: Arkham Asylum” and copy pasted into dozens of games since.

    Some games are better off as AA games and this is probably one of them. The gameplay here does not sustain a AAA length game. More isn’t always better, folks. Haven’t we players unlocked enough areas already? Haven’t we fetched enough things for enough NPCs? I do give the game credit for recycling good video games tropes. This is not a bad game. Maybe just lower the difficulty and stick to the main story quest. Full disclosure: I downloaded this game via PlayStation Plus Extra game catalog.    … 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.
