It's a pretty good game. If you like yokai (a class of supernatural entities and spirits in Japanese folklore) and paranormal stuff plus first person shooter then this one is for you. You can play this game in english dub or in Japanese voice with english subtitles. There are multiple modes you can play in terms of resolution and framerate but I only recommend two modes: quality mode or high framerate quality vsync. I tried quality mode first and then played the whole game with high framerate quality vsync. The story is good and I like the side missions. They're not that bad like most open-world games but the collectibles are a grind. A lot of stuff to collect but no trouble in finding them except for the floating innocent ghosts around Tokyo. Other than that, the spells are cool and the yokai enemies are interesting!

Really unique gameplay! Fun and intriguing story. Not too long or too short at around 30 hours to complete. Hope we get a sequel!

Got the game and steelbox on the same day of release. The game was really fun and I enjoyed it. At first, I wasn't sure if this game was going to be good, but it met my expectations.

Just completed Chapter 1 of this game and so far the story premise and gameplay is unique to other games. My interest is definitely captured and looking forward to completing.
The reason I have to bring this down to 4 stars is because the gameplay can be spotty at times and the action responses can seem slow.

Fun concept and cool art style. Game play is not so great. Repetitive and the aiming system is infuriating

I purchased this game on sale for $30 which included the steel book for free. It’s a great game for people like me who enjoy open world style games. The combat isn’t that complex but the atmosphere and aesthetic of a supernatural Tokyo are well done in my opinion.
I did platinum the game in about 40 hours, but be warned there are a ton of collectibles to achieve the platinum.

I was hoping that this game would be great but its okay. It is very pretty and the abilities are cool but it gets VERY repetitive. The environment is cool, the story is interesting, but you'll find yourself doing the same things over and over. Worth it if you find this game on sale.

Unique first person single player game. The controls take a little getting used to but once you do it's a fun game to play. The graphics are colorful and crisp.

Another absolutely amazing game for the PS5. Its perfect level of blacks and neon is great to see. It doesn't drown you out in neon to the point your eyes hurt.
The combat is original and so much fun to play. I love the pure magical hand gestures with the bow and grappling hook makes a perfect blend.
The graphics like I said are absolutely gorgeous. The Japanes Folklore is awesome and never gets boring seeing school girls with no head running at you for the kill.
The story is original and is the staple that holds this all together making for an all around great game.
Bravo, I'm 100% satisfied with this game at any price. But grabbing it for $29 with a $10 cert made for an absolute steal.
The steel case included was all the more reason to buy and I would of been happy even at $59.
Grabbing Deathloop on Amazon the same day for $24 has set me up to stay busy. At least until Saints Row and Forsaken, 2 games I'm pre ordering. The latter being the most anticipated game for me since Cyberpunk.
I advise anyone who likes the things I've mentioned, to buy, you will not be disappointed.

This game was amazing. The story and the visuals show the love for Japan, Tokyo, and the culture filling its lore with things they believe in. Gameplay was great and can become tense at times. Nice run time as well and lots of side missions and objectives.

Ghostwire is a game you either click with, or don't. But if you do, it's absolutely fantastic. Yes, it is open world, but it's one of the few open world style games where the world you inhabit has character, and feels like a real place (since it basically is). Just walking around this representation of Shibuya is breathtaking, and borders on virtual tourism. And unlike most open world games, Ghostwire's plethora of map markers have a purpose and feel worth seeking out because they all yield useful rewards and have interesting lore behind them. Everything is themed around traditional Japanese lore, and it's dedication to that theme is what makes it stand out. Combat takes some getting used to, but once you get the hang of it and adjust the controls, it's a ton of fun.
The only cons I really have with this game are inconsistent graphics and some performance and control issues, but there are a ton of options so you can adjust everything to your liking.

This is a pretty good effort from the Evil Within team for a venture outside of that franchise. Tokyo feels alive and moody, creating a creepy atmosphere. Solid visuals and interesting combat mechanics makes this a title well worth playing.

The game is fun, but nothing ground breaking. It feels a bit stale after a while for me, but the combat and exploration is fun. I always love a good bow or silent takedown in games. It is unique in its setting and stylistic fighting. It's certainly worth the time for any gamer.
