  • Summary: Save a Tokyo under siege by spirits in a new adventure from mastermind Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango Gameworks. Explore the streets of a city filled with spirits and mysterious otherworldly threats, with an arsenal of powerful abilities at your command.
    Tokyo has become a city    Save a Tokyo under siege by spirits in a new adventure from mastermind Shinji Mikami and the team at Tango Gameworks. Explore the streets of a city filled with spirits and mysterious otherworldly threats, with an arsenal of powerful abilities at your command.
    Tokyo has become a city under siege; overwhelmed by paranormal threats beyond our understanding. After a devastating occult event leads to the disappearance of 99% of the city's population, only you stand between the loss of this great city and its salvation. After the vanishing, a strange encounter causes your own supernatural abilities to take shape. Explore a beautiful city that blends ultra-modern cityscapes and stunning ancient shrines as you purge the darkness from your home. Armed with a bevy of formidable, upgradeable powers, you will face off against evil spirits (referred to as The Visitors) haunting the city of Tokyo.
    Spirits like:
    * Amewarashi: This entity manifests as a young child in a yellow raincoat. Derived from the powerful emotions of sadness caused by being separated from his parents, as well as his innocent yet mischievous spirit, this Visitor will call for help and bring forth fellow spirit when it feels threatened.
    * Shiromuku: Shiromuku is a traditional type of pure white wedding kimono, and though she may appear to be a bride, this Visitor is actually a physical manifestation of powerful emotions. This Visitor represents regret and strong feelings for a partner she was never able to marry.
    * Kuchisake: Inspired by an actual urban legend, the Kuchisake-onna is a strong and agile opponent, capable of closing distances quickly to get at you with her large scissor blades. Be careful if she asks you if you find her attractive; there are no right answers there.
    Each spirit will have its own attack styles and weaknesses, so you'll need to combine your abilities in different ways to suit each unique combat encounter.
    But the spirits roaming the streets aren't the only threat. At the heart of everything the disappearance of the population, the appearance of the Visitors, and even your own supernatural abilities sits a shadowy group wearing "Hannya" masks. Who are they, what they want and how they will interact with you remains a mystery, and it will be up to you to determine their motives and unveil the mystery.    … Expand

    Ghostwire: Tokyo on the Xbox Series X successfully creates an interactive Japanese horror movie on this next-gen console that is filled with scares and enjoyable gaming moments. Best of all, this version has all the latest updates and improvements that really fine-tunes this gaming experience.

    GhostWire: Tokyo A Spider’s Thread enhances the base experience, adding a new mode and refined systems. It gives players a reason to return to the adventure to finish for the first time or play through again with new missions and added story context. A Spider’s Thread mode also tests player skills through creative challenges and adorable interactions with cats.

    While there’s an intriguing story that unfolds at a decent pace, it’s easy to get sidetracked with the overwhelming amount of optional things to do. While the story is about the right length, I eventually gave up trying to do everything as combat become a bit repetitive a few hours in. That said, Ghostwire: Tokyo was still a great playthrough and I’m glad it’s arrived for Xbox players to now enjoy as well.

    With a terrifyingly realistic representation of Shibuya, Ghostwire: Tokyo offers an experience in which death, evil and the supernatural are everywhere.

    Fans of The Evil Within need to give this game a shot since it has ideas taken from that game at times. If you’ve ever played Breakdown for the original Xbox (it’s a classic on the Xbox store also), Ghostwire Tokyo has that level of immersion in it, but it focuses more on projectile combat rather than melee combat. If you haven’t tried out this game yet, you need to. Everyone should experience this game since it feels fresh and it’s got quite an addicting style of combat. Support unique games such as this, so we get more!

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a good game, if only for how thick and unnerving the story and world might be. While the gameplay does come up a bit empty, the story helps to pick up the slack and make the adventure worthwhile.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is an atmospheric and somewhat ambitious game, with a vertical semi-open world gameplay arena dotted with ghoulish nasties and side-quests steeped in folklore, atop a supernatural thriller plot. The game's combat is sluggish initially, but it becomes increasingly satisfying as you unlock more powers. Weaving elemental magic sprinkled with some stealth elements for good measure. Sadly, everything new and fresh Ghostwire: Tokyo brings to the table is hamstrung by the game's awful performance on Xbox, which makes the game a true slog.

    Ghostwire Tokyo isn't a fantastic game, but it's definitely an enjoyable experience that's worth a try. The gameplay and the game world areGhostwire Tokyo isn't a fantastic game, but it's definitely an enjoyable experience that's worth a try. The gameplay and the game world are wonderful and it is very enjoyable to explore the environment. Although the fights follow a repetitive process, they do not feel boring at all. Also, the AI of the game is at a good level. The skill system of the game has a very good design and conveys a satisfying feeling to the player. Although the story of the game is cliche, it has good and valuable protagonists and I can't say that this game has a bad story. The graphics of the game is amazing and beautiful in every aspect. But unfortunately, the main antagonist is very bad and worthless and is not a proper antagonist at all. Some of the side missions also have a repetitive and boring design and it is rare to find a good side mission. And another negative point of this title is its many and annoying frame drops, at least in the Xbox version. I don't know if this problem exists on other platforms or not.… Expand

    História/Narrativa: É ok a motivação do Vilão para mim é clichê mas as missões secundárias são massa , principalmente a missão da escola nota: 7
    Performance: muito bom , não tive bugs , nem quedas de frames nem travamento , muito menos crash nota:10
    Gameplay: é boa , no começo achava que não ia curtir o estilo de batalha , em primeira pessoa mostrando apenas os dedos do Protagonista , mas no final eu gostei , o elemento agua é totalmente desbalanceado no end game , e você meio que não precisara usar nada , além do elemento agua , pela falta de balanceamento das habilidades Nota:7
