    Exactly what a next gen game is supposed to be! Awesome graphics, badass combat (excuse my language), gorgeous visuals, intriguing story, and AMAZING use of the haptic feedback control that not enough developers utilize!

    Very fun game, would highly recommend, if you want to experience something new, but not too difficult. Overall i'ts way better (more polished, actually fun) than Elden Ring.

    Fantastic game! Unique in all the right ways. Great exploration, combat and atmosphere. Highly recommend this game. Also, if controls feel sluggish try adjusting camera acceleration to 85 and deceleration to 80 then whatever sensitivity you like. Helped a ton.

    Really enjoying this game. The aesthetic is very colorful and stylish and really appeals to my eye. The enemy variety is top notch and the game is populated some very cool ghosts. The sidequests are very solid as well, with some being excellent. Bosses are also a highlight. Overall recommended. I give it an 8.5.

    Ignore every Russian review, they are not even allowed to play this game. Gaming companies have isolated them from rest of the world and for a good reason. This game is not even sold in Russia. If you are from Japan, Europe or USA, enjoy this game! It has nice graphics and fun boss fights. One of the more unique games from 2022.

    It's almost exactly what i expected. For me, The Evil Within 1 is near masterpiece, The Evil Within 2 is absolute trash and i feel like Ghostwire Tokyo takes more elements from the first game.

    GW:T is an amazing first-person action adventure game where you explore the beautifully detailed streets of Shibuya in search of lost Shiba Inu to pet and feed.

Check hidden alleyways and dumpsters to find money and purchase more dog food, then get back out there to keep scratching and feeding. There are some other, secondary elements to the game such as exploration to find more dogs, fighting ghosts off to protect the dogs, and cleansing shrines to unlock access to more of the city so you can feed and pet more dogs. I think there’s a storyline too but it didn’t have as many dogs in it so that’s probably an afterthought. Overall 7/10 on dog rendering and details, 10/10 on petting and feeding animation, and 13/10 for being able to talk to dogs rounding out to an absolute 10/10 overall.… Expand

    Good graphics; nice main quest story; loved the Japanese ghost/spirit theme; side quests are nice tales; combat is cool and enjoyable even it may feel repetitive; for me is a 10/10 and the objective point of view 8.5/10.

    If you are anything like me and looking to get back to Japan but unable to do so while the borders are locked up, this game does scratch a strange itch. Everything is oddly familiar without needing to be an exact branded replica and its the first time I have hoped for a Bethesda game to make its way to PSVR 2 when it releases.

    If you are looking for a reasonably chilled, story driven treasure hunt of a game. Give this a go.    … Expand

    Ah, what a game…

    I’ve been waiting for Ghostwire Tokyo since it’s first announce. And preordered it the first minute of being able to preorder, that’s why I had a chance to play it 3 days earlier.

    For me, as a fan of horror, especially Japanese horror, Japanese aesthetics this game is just something✨
    I enjoy just walking around the beautiful streets of abandoned Tokyo, looking at thousands details, meeting familiar ghost stories and ghost tales, and enjoying the main story.
    There’s no microtransactions, no lgbt/feminism agenda and no any kind of cancer of a game industry.
    It’s a kind of a game which I really missed for many years. Around ~20 hours in the game so far, and I enjoy every second of it.

    I understand, that this game will not sell good.
    I understand, that it’s easy to criticise that game.
    But also I understand that I will get back to this paranormal world again. And again. That game means a world to me.

    And will stay forever in my heart.

    I love you, Tango Gameworks.
    Thank for getting me out of depression.
    And thank you for making me not to lose interest in videogames even during such hard times as now.

    Please, don’t stop making such unique projects. We really need it.

    If you love japanese folklore, magic, spirits and demon-hunting action with RPG elements and the possibility of exploring Tokyo streets then this game is for you. I strongly advise on PS5 the HFR Quality Mode with V-Sync, solid 45 FPS and nice graphics.

    Has such an interesting premise that hooks me right away. The story is engaging almost the entire way through. KK and Akito are an amazing buddy cop type of duo and it is so enjoyable following them. The open world has a very unique atmosphere and is very unique in it's visual identity. The exploration is so fun to just mess around in. The side quests honestly out shadow the main quests most of the time. Main quests are still well done most of the time. The combat is enjoyable and fast paced. Kind of like an FPS but with magic. The progression is straightforward and fun. Looks and runs well enough. Audio design is solid.

    Bad-
    The actual stuff in the open world outside of quests is just another checklist open world game. The voice acting and dialogue can be a bit cringy (I did play with english voices tho). While the visuals are okay, it doesn't look like a PS5 exclusive type game in terms of graphics. The combat, while fun, does get repetitive at times

    Thoughts-
    While it falls prey to many trappings of modern open world games, Ghostwire: Tokyo does so much in such a uniquely distinct way that it still stays with you. Though it’s formulaic and relies on certain design tropes, the veneer wrapped around all of that still makes it feel like a very unique experience. In a few months from now, when I think back on Ghostwire: Tokyo, that it has a “clear the map” open world probably won’t be the thing that sticks with me- it will be how unique its tone and atmosphere are, how fun its combat it is, how eerie and psychedelic the experience feels, or how strangely affecting its quests could often be. And ultimately, that uniqueness is its biggest asset, even when it is paradoxically at odds with so much of its design being straightforward and mundane.    … Expand

    This is proof to never let critical feedback sway your decision to buy a game.

    Never have the streets of Tokyo felt so authentic. Futhermore, they are soaked with deeply interesting and mysterious yokai. An awesome plot and a likeable protagonist are keeping me hooked and I can power through it with a very unique, beautiful combat system

    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.
