If you know what you're getting into, Ghostrunner will be a great game for you to play. Though, its fast-paced and one-shot gameplay might not be for everyone.

The easiest way to describe Ghostrunner is to call it an illegitimate child of Hotline Miami and Mirror’s Edge. It fails to match the latter in terms of body awareness, but it makes up for it with well-thought-out, satisfying level design and looks great regardless of whether you’re putting your parkour skills to the test, or slicing enemies with your katana.

Are you ready to figure out the very limits of your adrenaline tolerance? Then play Ghostrunner, a devilishly difficult action game let down only by its slower platforming portions.

Ghostrunner is a very fun action/platformer that I enjoyed immensely. It's got a very satisfying, trial and error approach to level design and combat that I vibed with from start to credits, an adequate story with some interesting ideas and decent characters, and great visuals. All in all, I'd recommend this one to anyone looking for some satisfying combat and neon lights.

Как любитель акробатических головоломок и крутого левел дизайна по типу, найди выход с уровня нажимая правильные кнопки в тайминг, я в полном восторге от игры, не перегруженная однотипными сражениями киберпанк вариация Томб Райдер - Принц Персии, только от первого лица, с отличной экшен составляющей и прыжками в стиле Миррорс Эдж, с хорошей музыкой и атмосферой, прошел с большим интересом. 9 из 10.

Excellent gameplay, narration et progression à revoir.
Les mécaniques de parkour et de combat sont ultra funs mais Ghostrunner loupe le coche sur sa structure. Certaines capacités arrivent trop **** dans la partie et le jeu ne nous incite pas assez à les exploiter. L'histoire est anecdotique avec un twist final très prévisible. Quant aux collectibles, ils sont anecdotiques et sans réel intérêt. Un bon jeu d'action tout de même.

Fast first-person action game, where parkour rules. Ghostrunner is full of surprises, which help to keep the game frest and fun. There is really nothing more you can ask for. [Issue#308]

Ghostrunner is a very pleasant surprise for anyone who likes to keep gameplay at the center of their experience - to the detriment of the narrative side. Accurate in 99% of cases, it challenges both your sagacity and your reflexes. Those are what you will need to sharpen in order to be able to improve your scores on your second run and to benefit from all the capacities of your character. If you like Super Meat Boy and/or Mirror's Edge and adhere to the Cyberpunk worlds, don't miss Ghostrunner.

This game has some of my favorite gameplay loop ever. Jumping and running around as a Cyberpunk ninja, while deflecting and slashing the enemies; with a very fast-paced gameplay that respects your time. This is one of the few games I've ever replayed, it's just a ton of fun in a tightly packaged 8 hour product.

Pure excellence in everything. In the original and dynamic gameplay, stunning visual style and atmosphere, energetic and memorable music. This game is able to challenge the player and simply entertain him, causing an adrenaline rush. One of the best games ever created by mankind.

Ghostrunner is a challenging, yet fair adrenaline-fueled escapade of violence and speed. Running through the streets, jumping off walls, and cutting through enemies is a lot of fun, and there’s a rush of satisfaction when you finally overcome a challenge. Some parts like its story could be better, but what it offers in terms of gameplay is nothing short of greatness. It may take a bit to settle in, but when everything clicks, you'll feel like a badass in no time.

Ghostrunner looks great, plays great and it’s also a great challenge. If you like something different, mixing genres and action-focused, make sure you give it a try.

As other games that punish the player that fails, Ghostrunner is not a game for everybody. The "die, repeat, die and repeat again" formula is not for the faint of heart (or with little time), but if it fits with your tastes, be prepared for a defying experience, with highly inspired chunks and a gratifyingly satisfying feeling.

A title that tests one's ability to focus on a goal without giving up. At any cost. Even if it were necessary to leave the computer paused for hours, to not lose the progress made in that level. Nothing new, neither as gameplay nor as atmosphere, but overall, it is pleasant... if you’ve got the patience of the dolphin Jones.

Put simply, it regularly betrays the cyber-ninja fantasy it's peddling. The speedruns will doubtless be dazzling, and Ghostrunner certainly LOOKS every bit the blockbuster it isn't. How unfortunate, then, that a game about a deadly assassin should suffer from so many critical failures in execution. [Issue#352, p.114]

Best parkour game ever. Pretty good mechanics and level designs with mid-high story.

Oyunun hızlı gameplay e bayıldım. Her bölümde yeni düşman tipi geliyor. Bosslar zor ama upgrade sistemin puzzle gibi olmasını beğendim. Güzel hızlı ve seri biten bir oyundur.

Cool autosave doesnt actually work how you expect it to. If you quit after checkpoint before reaching the elevator you will be thrown back to the very start of a "level" next time you play. I dont understand. How the hell does it break anything? Also performance can sometimes suffer quite a lot after you resurrect.

The saving system is garbage. I played the game three times and every time I clicked continue, the game started from the beginning. I installed from Epic games. The gameplay is fun but I don't wanna start over every time.
