    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!

    This game should have been a hit 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 game

    Ghostwire is an open world game with one of the smallest open world maps I have played but that's a good thing because due to this the developer team was able to focus on the map making the map more compact, dense and detailed.

    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.

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

    It needs a patch to improve the frame rate stability, but I enjoyed the game anyway (I couldn't wait).

Now that ghostwire: tokyo is back home where it belongs I've been able to sink my teeth into and really get a feel of tango game works Horror based rpg. 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

    A real pleasure to discover an impressive tokyo map with nice visual and light effects. The gameplay is simple but the game is largelly better than i think. The combat system is nice but repetive with some good additions with the last update and i really love the japanese ghost atmosphere.

    Aside from small things in story, game is actually amazing. Combat is responsive and it feels really satisfying to kill rip enemy's cords. The game also has amazing graphics and a beautiful map.

    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.

    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. On the other hand, it is a dead open world, made by analogy of games from Ubisoft.

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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Solid game open world game and cool first-person magic abilities. 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.

    Having not completed the game yet, I'm giving this a solid 8. This falls in the good not great category for me.    … Expand

Als großer Fan von Yokai und Kaiju war es sehr schön zusehen, dass einige es in das Spiel geschafft haben. Tokio beziehungsweise, Japan finde ich sowieso immer ein tolles Setting für Videospiele und auch hier macht es großen Spaß, durch die Straßen von Tokio zu streifen und nach Sammlerstücken und anderen Sachen zu suchen. 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. Auch wenn es sicher kein perfektes Spiel ist, bekommen wir bis auf wenig Ausnahmen eine tolle und farbenfrohe Grafik und eine großartige Atmosphäre. Von mir 08/10    … Expand

    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.
