Ghostwire: Tokyo Review
good
With superb visual design and an incredibly well-realised rendition of Tokyo, Ghostwire gets a lot right, but just doesn't quite have the gameplay chops to push it over the top.

Good game if you don't care about a deep story. The story is there, but is not the main focus of the game. If you enjoy the environment of tokyo and ghosts, then i think you will enjoy it
Absolutely stunning. The story, the characters, the world...it's all beautiful and full of depth. And there's a plethora of bonus content in addition to the main story. If you choose to dive deeply into the world and try to see everything there is to see, you will be rewarded. I loved completing all the side quests and finding every collectible. I also found the combat system incredibly fun and versatile. But more than anything, this game has such a strong emotional core. KK and Akito are fantastic characters, and the development of their bond over the course of the story tugged at my heart so strongly. It was such a beautiful relationship as they grew to understand and support each other. Overall, just a phenomenal game.
In yet another entry from Bethesda Softworks, Ghostwire Tokyo is a prime example of not being afraid to take influence from others. Namely Hexen and Dying Light. However, Ghostwire is in a class all it’s own. Fast paced combat featuring elemental powers conjoins with a compelling story for a truly immersive experience. Environments are beautifully designed too. Some definite charm is to be had from the numerous Japanese cultural curiosities here!

The story revolves around the protagonist Akito who is, after an accident, possessed by a spirit who provides him magical abilities. Tokyo was invaded by spiritual beings, and then he tries to save his family.
The gameplay is open world and action & adventure oriented. There are combat mechanics, and a map where one can eventually unlock the entire city.
Graphically, it has impressive visuals. The city design is really successful. The color palette was also chosen very well. One can feel the next-gen experience.
Unfortunately, I wasn't fully satisfied by this game. Firstly, the story is not interesting. There is an imbalance in the number of enemies, and the combat mechanics are designed terribly. The game is extremely repetitive, and I personally rushed to finish the story. Normally, I would do every side quest and content, but I wasn’t motivated to do it.
Although it is a great success graphically, my thoughts about this game, which falls short in terms of both story and gameplay, are unfortunately mostly negative.
I hope my review was fair and gave an idea for those considering to start the game.
