    Another banger from Tango Gameworks. This is the studios first FPS game and Openworld game. And, while not perfect, it absolutely rocks and is a fantastic addition to Xbox GamePass. The story and it’s characters are interesting and memorable. As is standard for the studio. Granted, there aren’t many characters as the whole premise is an entire city has been taken over by a ghostly force.Another banger from Tango Gameworks. This is the studios first FPS game and Openworld game. And, while not perfect, it absolutely rocks and is a fantastic addition to Xbox GamePass. The story and it’s characters are interesting and memorable. As is standard for the studio. Granted, there aren’t many characters as the whole premise is an entire city has been taken over by a ghostly force. And it’s our job to reclaim what’s been lost. This is done by exploring the richly packed streets, buildings, and back alleys for spirits, collectibles, and even animals(that were saved from the enemy invasion). Completing quests and side quests for extra exp, gear, and abilities. Graphics are pretty great. Kudos to the team responsible for the environment as you RARELY encounter areas that look identical to others. Granted, you’ll see many stalls, locked apartment buildings, and vehicles that look similar to one another but it never once becomes jarring. Combat is strategic enough but can often feel clunky at first. Took me atleast an hour to really get a feel for it. The spells you cast are flashy and animations are a marvel to look at. I won’t say too much about that. It’s honestly best to experience that yourself. This game is a blast. 9/10… Expand

    Played it on ps5 and the truth is this how the original game was supposed to be released! It is vastly superior to the original and if they released it this way it would have sold many more copies . This game is really amazing now . Amazing setting and the ghostly setting and Japan looks simply awesome . You can get it for free on game pass so don’t let this opportunity pass you by!

And after 13hours I must say I'm loving every bit of it, though it's not without issues. First the open world aspect of this game isn't like most the whole isn't unlocked to just take off exploring in any direction and see what you'd discover, the map is locked in a toxic-like fog that you can clear and open up different sections of map by "cleansing" the shrines in that section/radius. To me at first this was a major downside but a plus is the map is also very vertical so traversing rooftop to rooftop and skyscraper to skyscraper is a challenge in itself and one u must do in order to find collectibles and other hidden items around the map. Last fault I have with the game is the repetitive nature of cleansing shrines, Rescuing spirits, finding collectibles, and even some the side missions are the same concepts but in completed different ways. Some positives though are the different ways to engage in combat from your ethereal powers to talismans, to "wiring" and even a simple bow and arrow. Along with the different types of enemies you will face throughout the game!… Expand

    I wasn't expecting to have as much fun as I had with it. Definitely surprised me in a positive way.

    For starters, the thing that I loved the most was the setting. If the game were just purely exploring and photographing the amazing attention to detail put into Shibuya I'd still play the **** out of this. The city feels great (although dead, literally) to travel through, find collectibles and complete quests. It also looks beautiful as hell. I don't know how accurate this depiction of Tokyo is to the real one, but it felt solid enough to me.

    The way they incorporated Japanese folklore and horror stories into the whole experience was amazing as well. I'm a sucker for those tales and seeing them as they are in the game was fascinating. The entire conundrum of the experience revolves around those myths in fact. It just enriches how well put together it all is. Enemy design helps a lot, too. Unfortunately, variety is scarce and their placement ends up being a bit overused.

    And that leads me to the story. While the writing is just ok, I found Ghostwire's plot to be really touching and often creepy. It deals with death and closure in a sensible way, with its build up to certain events paving the way for a solid character development. It's good, not great, but packs a good punch. The ending is bittersweet, leaving me with Fatal Frame vibes.

    Sidequests were also a highlight! They were all very interesting, with cool little short horror stories, filled with new mysteries and engaging/fun narratives. Try not to skip out on them.

    So what prevents Ghostwire from being a better game? To be honest, its major flaw is the combat. At first, I found it quite original, but then I saw through the cracks. It is stiff and repetitive, packing some very clunky aiming and uncomfortable shooting that lacks impact, sense of proggression and, well, fun factor. Stealth is barely useful as well. Not to mention that some enemies were VERY annoying to fight. And you do fight A LOT! It is a huge bummer.

    Some other things started to get stale around the final couple of chapters. Like, I love the city and its sidequests, but I don't really enjoy its 'collectathon' aspects. It brings nothing new to the campaign and it's always the same things. Acquiring spirits got old really fast, bosses were boring, enemies are overused, some story questions are left unanswered and I **** hate having to find hidden statues and pray for them to give me, like, ONE extra ammo.

    Ghostwire Tokyo was a surprise. A good one. Its traditional Japanese horror roots really got to me and this "free" trip to Shibuya definitely won't leave my head so soon.    … Expand

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a controversial game. On the one hand, this is one of the best examples of the implementation of the virtual Tokyo game world, which is just nice to walk and study the world.

The opinion about Ghostwire: Tokyo consists exactly what the player expects from the game. The plot and development of the characters - pass by, open world - if you are satisfied with the Ubisoft approach, then yes. But if you want to touch Japanese culture, it's a great game. Excellent scenery, use of Japanese culture, good secondary quests. Everyone chooses their own in the game. But technically, the game looks bad on Xbox, another project from Microsoft that is poorly optimized.… Expand

Not usually a horror fan, but this felt like this was light on the horror stuff. For the most part, this game has a lot of the typical open world troupes, with a map full of stuff to do, and areas to unlock. The level progression feels good, gaining strength and power with every advancement. The one scary part of the game for me was when ,for story reasons, you were temporarily stripped of your abilities, so you have to navigate a portion of the map in an extremely vulnerable state. Freaked me out because prior to that point I had gotten SO used to the combat where I kind of felt like a badass.

Es gibt neben der Hauptquest, viele Nebenquests die man machen kann, einige davon sind sehr gut geworden. Mit Ausnahmen der tollen Bosskämpfe, kann das Kämpfen ein bisschen eintönig werden, man merkt schnell das man alle Feinde gleich besiegen kann, ohne große Abwechslung zu bekommen. Es gibt verschiedene Kleidung, die man anziehen kann und einen Fähigkeiten-Baum, allerdings gibt es trotz Aufleveln kaum Unterschiede, zumindest auf dem mittleren Schwierigkeitsgrad bemerkte ich es nicht.

I give this game 9/10, but really beware of the performance issues. if you don't mind though, the games mix of magic, FPS, and minor horror is amazing.… Expand

    After numerous hours of playing this game, I can confidently say that it's a game that's worth to try and finish.

    First thing I can say is that is the main thing I like is what you do, it tackles ghosts that are unique to us but common in Japan where it covers the folklore of the spirit world and how to beat it (although that remains a skeptical solution).

However, with it's Gameplay mechanics which is somewhat interesting in the first hour will get a little boring and limited where you will use the tried and tested methods to eliminate the ghosts. And although it covers ghosts which is equivalent to horror, you'll get used to it after seeing every kinds of dark spirits that trust to kill you.

    Though the story has an interesting plot, the low point for me is that the main character is started as an unruly emotionally disturbed dude that slowly becomes that of a submissive hero that listens to the master for a certain point where the mcguffin is close and screws up the whole adventure, a typical trope that we've seen day and date then. Some of the saving grace for me is the side missions where it can get scary the first time and had a bit of a jump scare.

    The recent update which adds a new gameplay mode, it is just a tower game mode whether how high can you survive. Not a big update but it's not enough in terms of content as this game can be finished within a week and the other is simply a padding but added some new lores.

    Overall, it's a new game experience for me and I highly recommend to try it and will hope to see sequels that explores other kinds of folklore.

    And lastly, to whomever that said to recommend the PS5 version just because it performs better than the Xbox, just remember, you don't have to spend full price if you have game pass, and it plays better on PC.    … Expand

    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.… Expand

    A game with marvelous art style ruined by the awful choice of making it an open world with checkbox features and way too many collectibles. The story is maybe 5/6 hours while the rest of the 30hrs experience is filled with repetitive activities. Also the UI can be too invasive and doesn't let you appreciate the beautiful rapresentation of Tokio.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Que obra de arte! Esse jogo é muito belo não só em sua estética, como também a história. Todo o confronto do Akito com seu passado, a motivação do vilão e a história do KK se complementam muito bem! Foi uma grata surpresa para mim, pois não dei nada por esse jogo no início. E que bom que estava errado!… Expand

    tutte le volte che sento parlare di questo gioco ne sento parlare generalmente male, sentendo spesso come critica maggiore quello di essere un open world alla ubisoft.
    se siete rimasti fermi al periodo inizio ps3/xbox 360 forse potrei anche concordare, ma negli ultimi anni ubisoft si sogna di raggiungere la qualità vista in questo titolo.
    il gioco come detto si fa molto agli open world    tutte le volte che sento parlare di questo gioco ne sento parlare generalmente male, sentendo spesso come critica maggiore quello di essere un open world alla ubisoft.
    se siete rimasti fermi al periodo inizio ps3/xbox 360 forse potrei anche concordare, ma negli ultimi anni ubisoft si sogna di raggiungere la qualità vista in questo titolo.
    il gioco come detto si fa molto agli open world visti un paio di generazioni fa, una bella mappa non sconfinata, una storia completabile in una decina di ore che diventano una trentina se si vuole completare tutto, se paragonato alle opere ubisoft attuali capirete che non ha nulla in comune. dato che quelli spesso offrono mappe piatte e vuote con la storia che richiede ben più di 30 ore e per fare tutto anche oltre le centinaia.
    ghostwire tokyo sicuramente non è esente da difetti, il gioco ha decisamente tante attività secondare, il combattimento si basa sul uso di tre poteri che non cambierà di molto durante tutta l'avventura, e la varietà dei nemici non è altissima.
    ma sono difetti abbastanza trascurabili se il gioco ti prende bene, e il titolo ha davvero moltissimo da offrire, per intrattenerti per tutta la sua durata.
    seppur è vero che il titolo è un open world è altrettanto innegabile che una grandissima parte del gioco è molto più guidata, dato che partiremo in una piccola porzione della mappa che è avvolta da una nebbia che se ci entriamo ci ucciderà.
    questo rende la progressione non dispersiva, oltre a rendere l'ambientazione molto più spettrale e bella da vedere.
    a questo si aggiunge una spiccata verticalità della mappa, che potremo esplorare grazie ad un rampino che ci permetterà di spostarci liberamente tra gli edifici della città.
    inoltre la mappa è disseminata da davvero molti edifici con interni esplorabili, tra cui anche alcune zone grosse tipo la metropolitano o l'ospedale.
    la riproduzione di tokyo è probabilmente la migliore che ho mai vista in un gioco, riuscendo a fondere il fascino del folclore giapponese con davvero tanti riferimenti a leggende metropolitane o spiriti e yokai, il tutto messo in un contesto moderno.
    inoltre il dlc gratuito aggiunge una nuova modalità, e alcuni nemici e zone esplorabili nella mappa.
    molto riuscite due delle nuove missioni secondarie di questo dlc, che aggiungeranno due nemici con delle meccaniche molto differenti dal resto del gioco che ovviamente non citerò.
    se siete stufi degli open world moderni e non vi spaventano le parti più ripetitive che il gioco ha, il titolo vi offrirà una bellissima esperienza, di un modo di fare videogiochi che ormai in molti si sono scordati.

    A história é muito boa, os gráficos também, os colecionáveis e a forma de upar o personagem também é muito interessante. O único problema do jogo na minha opinião é uma game play de combate um pouco chata. Entretanto, o jogo ainda é bom e acredito que vale a pena.

    Fantastic. A fresh game system with a well-driven story. Graphically it's amazing, Tokyo has rarely looked so good in a video game. Artistically superb, mixing Japanese mythology, folklore and a lot of contemporary horror. Why hasn't more been said about this game? I don't know.

    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!

    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.

    Anyone who played and enjoyed Ghostwire: Tokyo the first time, and has Xbox Game Pass, will certainly want to make another run at it and check out the improvements and new content. For those who missed it at release, it’s maybe even easier to recommend Ghostwire: Tokyo now. Be warned that the first few hours ramp up fairly slowly and the supernatural combat is both creative and a little unpolished. Still, the narrative, world-building, lore, and unique approach to the first-person action game help make Ghostwire: Tokyo both successful and a bit different.
