    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a beautiful and eerie jaunt through the streets of Japan, coming face to face with lore and legend while fighting for your own quest and purpose. With seamless gameplay and fighting mechanics, 40 hours of exploration will seem like no time has gone by and it will leave you wanting more time running the glistening streets of Shibuya.

    It’s a little bogged down in video game chores in the open world. However, when you’re on the trail of the main quest or any given side story, Ghostwire: Tokyo is a compelling adventure worth seeing through to the final spiritual release.

    When Ghostwire: Tokyo capitalises on its spooky surroundings by whisking you off into strange dimensions, fighting evil with powers you shoot from your hands, it’s excellent. The haunted, deserted Shibuya is a thrill to explore, and helping spirits with their final requests provides some engaging mini-adventures. Where it fumbles slightly is in the delivery of its open world, which regularly feels a bit old school as you chip away at the fog of the map, cleansing fast travel points as you go and repeating some filler tasks. Still, with a curious mystery laid out before you and a creepy atmosphere that will keep you on your toes, Ghostwire: Tokyo provides plenty of spooks and intriguing diversions around every corner that are just begging for your attention.

    You will fall in love with Ghostwire Tokyo's visuals. The way Tango Gameworks designed the city of Tokyo and the ghosts that wander around it is amazing. And gameplay is pretty fun too. But, if you compare it to some of the main releases of the year, it is not enough. Maybe because the developers did not have time to create something really unique. This is a good game, but it could/should have been a great one.

    Despite its awkward pacing, one-note combat and tedious open world collectible hunting, Ghostwire: Tokyo is as unique and atmospheric as they come. Side-stepping its horror roots, Tango Gameworks delves into the depths of Japanese folklore and urban myth through the lens of the modern world and the results are as refreshingly charming as they are routinely unnerving.

    Ghostwire: Tokyo is a gobsmackingly gorgeous action-horror with enemies that you won’t forget any time soon, not only for their eclectic appearances but their formidable ferocity in combat too. It’s a moreish game, and I want to trawl through every inch of this odd facsimile of the capital city, though I hope that Tango Gameworks rolls out an accessibility settings update to allow even more fans to enjoy this glittery and ghostly game.

    Rarely has such a big budget game been based on such a thin gameplay premise, with this bafflingly dull first person action adventure that begins to run out of steam by the end of the tutorial level.

I am absolutely enthralled by Japanese folklore and mythology as well as so desperately hoping to one day visit Japan. This game combines the detailed world building of virtual tourism with the ookey spookums of Japanese myths and urban legends. On top of that, it sports a fancy engine that makes everything shine and pop and looks wonderful. My one and only gripe is the wonky controls of the first person camera. I don't really understand why it feels so awkward to look around. But it's such a minor issue that I really don't even think about it much at all. It's easily a 10/10 for me.… Expand

There's plenty to do for Completionists like me, and travelling round to see the sights is easy enough. i'ts an 8 mostly because of repetetive enemies, but its still a stupidly good game to play.… Expand

    it's a little repetitive but it's still an excellent and fun experience. Congratulations to Mikami and TangoGameworks.

    Me ha encantado pasearme por Japón con ese nivel de detalle aunque molaría mil veces más si se pudiese entrar en más edificios y hubiese menos reciclaje de tiendas y elementos que se vuelven aburridos de tantísimo verlo, al igual ocurre con los enemigos. Muy buen doblaje al castellano que sin duda suma un puntito.    … Expand
