![]() ![]() Ghostrunner is an exceptionally satisfying freerunner that blissfully optimized for the visual and auditory senses. It is unfortunate that its notable counterparts did not receive the same polished treatment, but Ghostrunner is still an undeniably engaging and enjoyable treat. ![]() I cannot stress enough how good and satisfying movement feels in Ghostrunner, and when combined and layered with its other intricate gameplay elements, the moment-to-moment experience is arguably unrivaled. While it strays away from the greatness it easily could have achieved, Ghostrunner is still one of the most fluid and engaging gameplay experiences of the year. From legitimate puzzle sequences that disrupt the pacing so egregiously to its uninspiringly poor design of boss encounters, there is undeniable room for improvement with Ghostrunner. Despite my glorious praise for many of its illustrious facets, Ghostrunner stumbles in certain elements that notably disrupt its exhilarating sense of flow that it meticulously strived to achieve. Its pristine sense of fluidity and movement feel like a natural evolution of the foundation established by Mirror’s Edge, feeling far more organic and responsive compared to any other notable attempt on the market. ![]() Its impeccably engaging freerunning sequences rival the immaculate precision and masterful design of the bombastic escape/chase segments from Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Combat scenarios are heightened into engaging puzzle-like sequences, requiring intricate placement and strategic execution to efficiently complete. Its precise freerunning and responsive parkour systems are seamless yet intricate in design, lending an organic foundation of authenticity to Ghostrunner’s established sense of impeccable feel and flow. With an illustrious cyberpunk setting that is bombastically rich with atmosphere and some of the most electrifying and addictive music to grace the gaming hemisphere, Ghostrunner is as blissful to the senses as it is with its gameplay. This IP deserves so much, as there's still so much untapped potential with this IP.In a cadence of free-flowing, responsive fluidity, movement in Ghostrunner strikes a resounding semblance of elegance and satisfaction. Ghostrunner was my favourite game of 2020 and it's looking to continue being a favourite in 2021. I also usually don't do cosmetics, but with how much they're adding to the game for free I almost treat it like a tip to OML and ALL IN GAMES for keeping this awesome thing alive. Honestly I'm so so SOOO happy that Ghostrunner is getting so much post launch content, and that all the additional gameplay modes have been free. Plus with the road map for the rest of the year, who knows what additional content will be available? It encourages you to play the game in a totally new way, and I love it for that! My only minor issue is that it's only five levels long, but it appears there are some unlockables for mastering all five levels so who knows. I've beaten the first three levels so far, each of which on Veteran Ranking, one of which was mere milliseconds from the top Master Ranking. The challenge comes in quick reactions and optimising routes and enemies to knock off seconds, whilst also increasing your time count to get the highest ranking. ![]() Once you pass the starting gate you have 25 seconds to get to the end, collecting as many one second time bonuses as possible, and killing enemies to get life-saving 2 second bonuses. Kill Run Mode is a set of five brand new, albeit quite short levels, that you have to beat in a Crash Bandicoot like time trial style. Next to the base game, this is my favourite mode in the whole game! Hardcore mode was fine, but it waa mostly the same game again but harder, though for free DLC it was an excellent extra challenge for those who have mastered the main game. A brand new paid vanity pack with four brand new exclusive sword and glove skins, inspired by the Year of the Ox, AND two brand new game modes, in the form of the long requested photo mode and Kill Run Mode. So looks like everyone got the update at the same time, including us Nintendo Switch kids. ![]()
