    20 hours in and I'm enjoying every bit about it. The quality graphics mode is something cyberpunk developers can learn from. The gameplay mechanics are very unique and the most important part of the game - city of Tokyo itself is super well detailed and VERY atmospheric. Enjoying the story so far as well and there is a lot to love about japanese folklore.

    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.

    Amazing game. I absolutely love the battle mechanics in Ghostwire: Tokyo. It’s a combination of three types of elemental damage, alongside melee strikes and archery. Gust attacks are Akito’s primary source of magic. Leveling up and discovering K.K.’s investigation notes grant skill points. You can upgrade your elemental weaving techniques and melee skills, as well as carrying capacity forAmazing game. I absolutely love the battle mechanics in Ghostwire: Tokyo.

    Ghostwire Tokyo was a game I was always cautiously optimistic about, from Tango's soft reveal to only snippits of gameplay at various shows I was always hopeful I would like this game, but couldn't be sure until I played it. Well after finishing the game last night... I can say without a doubt it's one of my favorite games I've played in years.

Well after finishing the game last night... I can say without a doubt it's one of my favorite games I've played in years.

    Ghostwire tells a fantastic narrative of a crazy villain who's trying to merge the realms of life and death together into one. Throwing you into a strong story from the beginning, you quickly develop an attachment to your main characters Akito and KK who carry the plot through many twists and turns. The main story by itself is fantastic, but the developers made it even better with one of the most rewarding side quest systems I've ever played in my life. Playing these tales of hunting Yokai, helping spirits move on, and solving mysteries adds a whole new depth to the game where you feel like a spirit detective of sorts as you explore the vast city with your partner. This adds a whole layer to the story that compliments this main narrative perfectly because you're not just a guy on a mission to help yourself, but to help everyone else around you both alive and dead. This also adds more life to a world that's otherwise desolate and makes you feel a little less alone.

    Everything in this game is additive and is sincerely fun to play. Hunting for hidden Tanuki, chasing Rokurokubi, leaving cucumbers for Kappa are all just a few examples of fun things that pop up along the way, but the game also rewards you for doing them. Every side quest carries a story with it and a handful of rewards, every collectable can be sold and displayed (with adorable Nekomata shopkeepers no less), and the database in your menu is fun to read because it's filled with history and culture lessons. The developers so quickly went out of their way to ensure everything in this game was made with purpose; no needless grinding, mindless fetch-quests, or anything that feels like a slog to do. Every time a quest pops up or there's a new thing to find you get excited, and it's so rare that games give you that feeling.

    To top it off the gameplay is an absolute delight. Combat always feels fun and fulfilling, each battle provides you with plenty of freedom to fight as you want to, and you never seem to feel punished or treated unfairly. Every enemy has their own level of fun and strategy and every boss is a fun challenge to take down. Mix that in with fun city traversal, beautiful sights to see with gorgeous next-gen visuals, and not a single glitch experience in the entire game and I can honestly say there was never a single moment I didn't have fun.

    All of these factors separately alone make for a great game, but bringing them all together really pulls this experience to being a masterpiece. Every action leads to something meaningful and fun - A compelling narrative only enhanced by a quest system that adds a whole layer of depth to the game, tons of yokai that you encounter and gain an appreciation for, finding tanuki and dogs, and collectables with purpose are all things that are both fun to do and things you are rewarded for, in terms of both gameplay and story value. There isn't a single missed opportunity, not a single menu wasted - Just fun and enjoyment everywhere you look at any given time.

    I can honestly say that in my opinion, Ghostwire Tokyo is a perfect game. Everything being so additive and well thought out shows this was a passion of love and creativity and a desire to make something great. I was excited to come home and play every day, to spend every second of my time off in this world, and to continue this phenomenal journey that even caused me to teared me up during the incredible finale of the story. This will not only contend for being my favorite PS5 game, or my Game of the Year, but may be quite possibly one of my favorite games of all time. I've loved every second of this masterpiece, and even after I proudly add the Platinum trophy to my ever-growing list, I have no doubt I'll miss my time with this experience greatly. PS5, PC, Series X - Whenever and wherever you can play it, Ghostwire Tokyo will always be amongst my highest recommendations to anyone who can play it. This really is something incredible, and I promise you don't want to miss it.    … Expand

    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.

Another side story you can find is from the doll that grows human hair which name is Okiku Aka "The Haunted Doll of Hokkaido." Another reference to an urban legend is Hanako of the toilet which you find her knife as a collectible. The game in general has a lot of stuff in it hidden and waiting to be found, i really recommend this game to people that love Japanese Culture and Urban Legends!

This game combines the detailed world building of virtual tourism with the ookey spookums of Japanese myths and urban legends. On top of that, it sports a fancy engine that makes everything shine and pop and looks wonderful. My one and only gripe is the wonky controls of the first person camera. I don't really understand why it feels so awkward to look around. But it's such a minor issue that I really don't even think about it much at all. It's easily a 10/10 for me.… Expand

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.

    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.
