This, along with the totally awesome dedication to replicating the ’90s, right down to its VHS- styled nostalgic aesthetic, and a story with soul and characters surprisingly reflective of the period, is key to elevating this game from an also-ran puzzler to a must-play for the rhythmically inclined. Pick up a controller and let’s jam. [Issue#27, p.82]

Any story may have been exorcised, but Ghostwire: Tokyo's collection of Japanese mythology, plus the potential for exploration, will spirit you away. [Issue#13, p.82]

Despite awkward exploration, it is wonderful to play something as wilfully odd as this. If you’re craving something different, don’t miss this return trip to Zenozoik. [Issue#27, p.83]
