    Nothing extremely special, but these days, hardly anything is anyway. Still better than most AAA games of 2022, so there's that.

    If anyone was expecting horror.....well it's not horror. BUT there's still enough creepy moments and i think what this game really does well is atmosphere and overall vibe of Tokyo. Perfect city for this type of game.

The atmosphere of an empty Tokyo filled with ghosts and demons of Japanese folklore. A lot of different items and food that the game tries to show to the player, because these items are something like a "Japanese highlight". The combat system is the famous Japanese signs and talismans with corresponding animations and sounds. Interesting activities on the territory of the deserted city... All this is a potentially cool idea, which is almost perfectly executed. But that game has and it's own problems:
    1) All the time the game did not leave me with the impression of some insipidity and superficiality.
    2) Enemies and ghosts are some kind of "cardboard", Basic expendable phrases (like those that the hero utters after another secondary activity) are exactly the same and childishly primitive (I was already starting to get annoyed when, after the hundredth enemy, I heard the same "So literally have a finger in your mouth not put.").
    3) Conceptually, the combat system is very good, but it is somehow extremely superficially implemented and not interesting. All fights with all enemies +/- are completely the same. Bosses were not interesting, although varied.
    4) I am such a person who even in not the best "open worlds" likes to explore these Worlds, but in this game I felt uncomfortable and only wanted to level-up myself as soon as possible for the speedy completion of the game.
    ...So as you see, I was not very satisfied with that game, but it definitely gave me some interesting experience. And it was something new(about ghosts in nowadays and etc.).    … Expand

    Btw, there's some imperfection.
    - The main story is kinda boring. As well as side missions, they are quite repetitive. The enemies like yokai, monsters are not abundance that you always face the same group of enemies.
    - There are many activities around the map & side missions but some are too short, some are monotonous.
    - Lacking character's skins, clothes.
    - I wish the combat is more varied. I need more combos, super moves.

    In short, the game is pretty fun and enjoyable.    … Expand

    Ghostwire:Tokyo is the next masterpiece of Shinji Mikami and his crew.

    As the title mentions, the story sets in Tokyo/Shibuya, a famous district which is well known for his crossroad. The protagonist is a man who wanted to see his sister in a hospital. He got into an accident. Short after, the disaster is going to start. A supernatural power appears and takes control of the main character. And from there on, you got to fight your way through the enemies who stand in your way. The sister seems to have an important meaning for the enemy and takes her away. The main mission will be to save the sister and to put the horror to an end.

    The genre can be categorized into the mystery-psycho-horror. The japanese culture takes an essential part as well so that Ghostwire:Tokyo develops a spiritual content.

    Like always, the character possesses a skill tree in which the abilities can be learned. The character is capable of using powers of the elements wind, fire and water. Talisman, bow and a katana belongs to the arsenal as well. With this equipment it will be possible to attack in different ways whereas the environment can be used to neutralize the enemy.

    The enemy itself is some sort of a ghost nearly without a face. It gets quite serious if more than five enemies come towards to attack. At this point it is important to develop tactics and strategies to beat the ghosts.

    The environment seems to be a perfect image to the real Shibuya. Despite the enemies, there are cats and dogs which are not hit by the catastrophe. You can talk to them, give them food and in return they bring you to statues. In front of these statues you can pray in order to increase your ammo-capacity for the element attacks. There are even stores that are run by cats named yokai. You can make business with them like buying food and clothes and selling certain items. Ghostwire offers many connections to the japanese spiritual understanding and beliefs.

    The way of fighting is so refreshing and deeply something else. This proves that it is not really necessary to have a gun and rifle to create a great experience.

    There are sidequests as well. These quests give always a different storyline and each one is individual. It is really worth to take a look at it. The sidequests give the opportunity to enter houses, buildings etc.. There are also lost souls that needs to be saved. After you have found them, you have to go to a telephone and bring them back to their bodies.

    Fazit:

    Ghostwire:Tokyo effectively uses the Unreal Engine whereas the way of fighting is very refreshing. Walking through Shibuya is also something that is quite rare. This makes the adventure more exciting. The connection to the japanese culture gives Ghostwire:Tokyo a more deeply and serious tone.

It's super cool how the street lights turn red (with lens flare) when the ghosts detect you. 9/10 just cause depth dips in later game, but love the potential for this gameplay style--not to mention the universe.

    Japanese Folklore Greatness.

    Ghostwire Tokyo is quite a new fresh IP from Tango Gameworks, quite different from their previous series, The Evil Within games, which I really like a lot, both of them. Tango has moved away from pure Survival Horror to a more Action oriented / Paranormal Thriller type of experience and this is fine, because it is a new IP after all, I am happy seeing    Japanese Folklore Greatness.

    Ghostwire Tokyo is quite a new fresh IP from Tango Gameworks, quite different from their previous series, The Evil Within games, which I really like a lot, both of them.

    Tango has moved away from pure Survival Horror to a more Action oriented / Paranormal Thriller type of experience and this is fine, because it is a new IP after all, I am happy seeing studios trying new things, which does not invalidate their previous work (I’d still love to see more in the Evil Within series though, of course).

    The PC version of Ghostwire Tokyo looks really amazing, it is a game that supports Ray Traced Reflections and Shadows, and particularly the Reflections are some of the best I’ve seen so far in a PC game, only a bit below games like CP 2077 or Control, since in Ghostwire there aren’t RT Reflections for stuff like transparent assets (windows from cars or stuff like that).
    In any case, for the rest of the reflections, they do look amazing and very detailed, and they fit the atmosphere of the game pretty well, being a game set in Shibuya, with a lot of rain and wet surfaces.

    Performance on PC is also quite excellent for a game that looks like this, the game can easily full over 100 FPS with Raytracing disabled at 1080p and 1440p DLDSR on my Ryzen 5 3600 and RTX 3060 Ti, with all the normal settings maxed, and the fact that we can use DLSS only enhances the experience even further.
    With Raytracing enabled, I can keep my game above 60 to 70 FPS at 1440p DLDSR and Balanced DLSS, which is not bad at all.

    There’s one issue, currently in the game, that affects VRAM usage, regarding the Streaming Texture Quality setting: if set to high values such as Cinematic or High, the performance can suddenly degrade, permanently, until either restarting the game or switching that Texture Streaming setting to “Auto”. This fixes the performance degradation for me, and haven’t experienced this issue ever again.
    The game also suffers a bit from Shader Cache issues, so once in a while a small stutter will occur, when a new asset appears, although it did not bother me too much, compared to other recent games like Elden Ring, where it happens more frequently.

    Moving on to Gameplay: I had a lot of fun with the Combat in this game, and the World Traversal is also quite enjoyable, once we unlock certain skills; think Dishonored series, something similar to that, even better maybe, since we can glide around for a really long time when fully upgraded.

    Combat…for me was fun, and diverse enough; I’ve read some reviews and opinions claiming they did find the combat boring and repetitive, then only to tell us that they barely used any tools, like “just used the Wind based attacks, that’s all”...well, of course, that’s the issue: Wind is used as the standard spammable attack, long range too, Fire is the big hard hitting skill, with great AoE, for the bigger Visitors / threats, and Water is medium to close range, meant to Cut Through enemies defenses (like umbrellas).
    Then we have Talismans, which can add a lot of Crowd Control to the combat, useful quite often, or to speed up the Core Extraction process.

    The game Controls pretty well with Keyboard and Mouse but, sadly, the Gamepad default settings are a bit of a mess when it comes to Acceleration / Deceleration, makes no sense they included this. I tried my DualSense and it works fine except for that, but I prefer first person games with M&KB, anyway.
    It lacks FOV adjustment though, so I hope they patch it in soon, default FOV feels like 90 Hor, not terrible, but far from ideal for 16:9 at least.

    One of the best aspects in the game, though, is the Lore / Folklore of Yokais, it was quite a treat being able to read about all of this in the Database section so, if you’re into this kind of stuff, take the time to enjoy the entries, they’re pretty accurate with the actual folklore, and quite detailed in their descriptions.

    Animations are really top notch, especially for the ethereal weaving, it's obvious they put in a lot of effort into making these look really smooth and fluid.

    The weakest part in this game, in my opinion is the Story and the Characters: while the main duo cast of Akito and KK are great together, the other characters felt not too fleshed out, and it seemed like the game lacked a couple chapters here and there to expand on some of this.

    I understood pretty well the message this story was trying to convey, it’s a simple message, but a much needed one nowadays, with all that’s going on in the world, but this game feels like it quite suffered the hardships of the pandemic, it’s obvious.

    All in all…a decent experience, but it could’ve been better with a little bit more here and there, especially on the Story. The game feels fresh, and if you know Tokyo/Shibuya a lot, you’ll see how well it’s been recreated, that is quite nice to see.    … Expand

    The Story is not best thing youve ever seen. Its like the basic Isekai (in to another world) Animes, nothing really speacial. Eventhough the Story isnt this advanced the dialougs are. Many diffrent conversations and you can feel trough Akito and his Buddy are more and more friendly to each other.

    Gameplay is decent as I said before right Timings and Thinking what u gonna do next are important on higher diff. level, what I really recommend becuz on the normal diff. there is no real challange to game and Grind does feel like something you dont wanna do.
    Grinding is actually a big thing in the game and what I wanna tell you is: DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME IF YOU HATE GRIND. Even if you are the biggest Japan Fan and Watching Animes the whole Day, if you doesnt like grinding how its pretty usual in Japanese games you wont like this game and will end after the second chapter.

    Overall Ghostwire Tokyo is a pretty good game there are thing to Improve:

    Enemey AI

    Variety of enemeys over the period of the game

    No complete gamechanging fighting mechanics

    Too Grindy for Many Peapole

    and your Spells doesent have reflections wich is a big deal because water is everywhere here.

    So is the Game a Cop or Drop?
    Defenetly a Cop if you ok with grinding and like Japan or wanna be Mind blowed away from these Graphics. (or troll your firends with youre in Japan with the compressions its like a real photo)

    Defenetly a Drop if youre a Tik Tok user with a 2 sec attention span, if you have a bad pc (no front), if you want a good story, if you not a grinder and want to have extreme challenging fights.

    Hope you can decide if its Cop or u are a Flop.    … Expand

    Bad:
    Tasks are too instructive, making people feel like they are doing tasks, not traveling.

    I think this is game version of NARUTO + Tokyo Ghoul, because the story and actor is very similar to Tokyo Ghoul and water looks like rasengan(螺旋丸), fire seems like Goukakyuu no Jutsu(豪火球の術).

    Everyone in Tokyo is dead, there are spirits around this open world that you free by completing optional side activities that also help level you up much quicker in the game… and crawling around this empty city are these creepy demon enemies that you have to blast with your supernatural powers and pull their cores out with your bear hands or with some sort of……. Ghostwire.. .if you stick to the main campaign theres nothing special here… infact the game would be pretty mediocre if you don’t expore its world.. thankfully youll want to… clearing these corrupted trees in your way, clensing these gates to unlock fast ravel points and clear fog to open up the world more… doing some great and also some rigiuclous sidequests which can really immerse you into this world… these are the best moments of ghostwire Tokyo.. immersing yourself into the side activities.. its just a shame youll so quickly grow tired of this world, youll get used to the spooky monsters, the sidequests will start to feel unnecessary.. the skill tree leaves a lot to be desired so youll stop caring about rescuing souls once you’ve unlocked every ability you care about… so youll probably find yourself like me abou halfway through the game jut sticking to the main quests.. which are good.. but nothing to blow you away… ghostwir Tokyo is fun through.. the combat is tense, youll be juggling through abilities, sneaking up behind enemies trying not to alarm the others… I loved my time spent in this creepy world… my only gripe with conmbat though is this skin crawling nails on chalkboard feeling when you run out of one of the 3 energies and have to switch to another.. I hate it and wish the game would just switch to the next automatically when youre out of one of them… as you do have to destroy glowing items in the environment to refill ammo or pull the cores out of enemies…
    Overall this is a decently enjoyable action horror game, its unique.. its memorable…

    Я пассивно ждал эту игру как проходняк в марте, потому что после геймплейного трейлера игра мне показалась пластмассовой пустышкой. А в итоге очень даже круто. Игра наполнена мистикой и загробным миром, она в каком-то смысле, напоминает Death Stranding. Я бы сказал, что если связать эти две вселенные, получится неплохой кроссовер.

    Ghostwire Tokyo завораживает своей атмосферой и мистикой. Я бы не назвал геймплей каким-то супер интересным, но мне весело играть. По улицам бродят животные, у которых можно читать мысли и порой их мысли очень забавные. Особенно смешные коты. Присутствует юмор и очень неплохой.

    В таких играх злодей это, можно, сказать, лицо игры. Лично мне нравятся загадочные пафосные злодеи в масках, личность которых ещё предстоит разгадать. Я балдел с Хиггса в DS. В этой игре у злодея есть мотивая и цель, что делает его интересным и радуешься каждой встрече.

    Из слабых сторон это, пожалуй, графика и оптимизация. На высоких настройках совсем не идёт, хотя железо соответствует. Картинка в игре, даже на высоких слегка мыльновата, плюс нельзя отключить зернистость. Но в целом выглядит красиво, но как будто протагонист забыл дома очки.    … Expand

    Несколько лет назад путешествовал в Токио и благодаря этой игре пробудил столько воспоминаний, будто снова туда вернулся. Неимоверный труд разработчиков - так досконально передать атмосферу этого прекрасного города.

    i will start a review with saying that this game isnt for everyone. If you love and know japanese mythology and urban legends you will LOVE it. Enemeys and side quests each have myth or urban legend in it. Tokyo in this game is masterfully created. Combat is way to easy if you play it on normal, so select hard. Animations with hands are amaizing aswell. Main Story is okeyish, nothing toi will start a review with saying that this game isnt for everyone.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is the best game I've played. I passed it in 4 hours without a single death. Very cool soundtrack, plot, gameplay, graphics, atmosphere. If you haven't played, then at least try it, it's worth it

    A unique "fps" type game with an amazing story and gameplay. What else could you ask for?

    Walking within streets, jumping on the roofs and collecting all what you can is just fun. Reason for hunting all what you can is appealing because rewards are good for maxing out your character. RPG elements are not something really needed maybe except creating bird to pull to, but almost all little bonuses makes game feel a bit better and better and allows you to try out what combination are most effective and what combination makes you feel like good wizard.

    Maxing out character is present whole game and once you learn how much damage and time you need to release ghost to their realm, you are trying makes your personal record higher. Its rather fps game but stealth is fun too and overall playing with detection system brings fun tension along with "how many ghost I can send to their realm at once".

    Graphics is great. Of course it can be seen graphics is more focused for consoles, nevertheless all makes world believable even though its rather fantasy. Lightning and contrast are simply superb. Black is black, white is white, no crap like in many games where sometimes you feel like fog is present.

    I guess it can be 8/10 but this game is simply so fun, atmospherics, no frustration, great fluid combat, satisfying progress. You can simply run through game and enjoy every aspect. For example side mission are nice, are short and are helping create atmosphere and learn how people in Tokyo are/was living with their dreams and desires, hopes and regret, mistakes and redemption etc.

    Simply: game is fun!

    Second game of Tango Gameworks that i played and it also good so probably i will try another games of this studio in future but lets dive into Ghostwire: Tokyo.

At first lets talk about graphical part of the game another great aspect of the game except rain realization (as for me its really sucks) but i guess it's all about dlss and without it, rain looks a bit better, also good to notice that game with rtx and without looks kinda similar (i mean that reflection and overall light system looks really good). Design of enemies is als on high level as design of city (yeah, i love tokyo vibes so i think it hard to make it looks ugly). Sound part is ok it has japanese vibe but nothing special. as i mentioned before you need to beat different types of ghost using various abilities that can be also improved. so it really fun to combine different spells to beat group of enemies or even bosses that contain that game. another aspect of gameplay is some kind of parkour that present in the game. But its not traditional parcour you use your ghost power to climb on top of giant tower or so on, combine that with stunning looking tokyo present perfect immersive experience. as conclusion game is really good but with small minuses but if you like some mysterious thing like ghost and so on or in love with japanese culture that game probably for you. also it no so long so you can beat it in two or even one evening.… Expand

    The game has a beautiful environment. Great references to Japanese folklore and one of the greatest atmospheres built by an open world in my experience. The combat is innovative enough and I find it really fun, but I can see why some people would find it repetitive after a while. The story is ok, and I really liked KK as a character.

    واقعاً یه بازی خاص با فضا سازی فوق‌العاده است ، گیم پلی نو آورانه و باحالی داشت، توکیو رو به بهترین شکل ممکن طراحی کرده بودن که واقعا خوشم اومد، داستانش داستان کلیشه ای بود ولی بد نبود، گرافیکش هم خیلی خوب بود

    A beautiful horror game set in tokyo, the history is amazing and the gameplay is super fun and the collectibles are a joy to obtain only downside is that after finishing it you will want more.

    Just about my only complaint about going back to Ghostwire: Tokyo was that the game doesn’t look quite as nice on the Steam Deck as it did when I played it on PS5 last year. When it rained, it made everything look a little more washed out, and it made it tougher to tell when you were entering a foggy area that was off-limits. You realize quickly enough when you’re somewhere you’re not supposed to be, but it was still a little disappointing. Overall, though, I’ll reiterate what I wrote up top: Spider’s Thread makes a great game even better. Ghostwire: Tokyo didn’t get nearly the level of attention it deserved on its initial release last year, and now that the game is free for Game Pass and PS+ subscribers (and generally inexpensive enough to buy on PC), there’s even less reason why it should be slept on. Do yourself a favour and get it now.

    This isn’t the first game to offer a dense, incredibly detailed rendering of Tokyo, but maybe it’s the first to make you feel like all of that work isn’t window dressing.

    The unique setting really helps to lift Ghostwire: Tokyo from myriad of problems such as a plain open-world design and lackluster combat. If you love Japan and mystical powers, then Ghostwire can be just the game you're looking for.
