We liked Ghostwire Tokyo, awarding it a score of 4/5 stars in our review. We praised the game’s striking art style and immersive atmosphere, saying “Ghostwire: Tokyo succeeds at being a very refreshing, very exciting take on the first-person action-adventure genre by introducing a fantastic imagining of haunted Tokyo and incorporating engaging action with magic instead of the all-too-familiar current trends of bullets and bazookas. While it still has room to grow, Ghostwire: Tokyo is truly a one-of-a-kind experience thanks to its breathtaking atmosphere, gorgeous open world, impressive stories, and exhilarating combat.”
Ghostwire Tokyo is available now on PlayStation 5 and PC.
