I guess you can say I kind of enjoyed this game:

The remaining 34% of the Spider’s Thread update is just actual completion of the game mode and Nekomata tasks, but I did complete the main game. I don’t trophy hunt but I really enjoyed everything there was to do in this game. I can understand why this wasn’t more popular than it is, but I do feel it’s a tad under appreciated. I’m also of the opinion that any game that involves collectathons that somehow convinces me to participate in those very collectathons must be successfully designed in at least one or two ways.

Didn't give this a shot when it first came out because I heard it didn't feel finished, but now that the update hit this week, I figured I'd go for it. Had a great time in the first hour of game time so far. I'm not sure what to expect moving forward, maybe it gets old fast? I'm eager to …

Didn't give this a shot when it first came out because I heard it didn't feel finished, but now that the update hit this week, I figured I'd go for it. Had a great time in the first hour of game time so far. I'm not sure what to expect moving forward, maybe it gets old fast? I'm eager to find out though.

I'm surprised how much verticality this game has. I wasn't expecting it, especially at the start when you're given the impression you'll be moving along the streets based on the mechanics of the game.

After a few days of playing and enjoying Ghostwire: Tokyo's many excellent side quests I'm left struggling to understand why this game seems so underappreciated.

I appreciate that this game’s mechanics are pretty conventional but it really makes up for that through setting, atmosphere and the way those mechanics are tied to Japanese spiritual beliefs and representations of the afterlife. I’m really enjoying this so far.

I usually play games with headphones in but I just happened to be playing this with the Tv sound on and I’m impressed with its use of the controller speaker. I don’t think I’ve played a game that uses that speaker to contribute to a soundscape quite like Ghostwire: Tokyo does. It’s effective in enhancing the eerie atmosphere of the game. I find most games use it for certain sound effects like alerts or to simulate things like two-way radios or walkie-talkies. Ghostwire: Tokyo goes a lot further and actually rounds out the soundscape of the game. It really accents the mood of the game effectively and I appreciate it.

Once I play Tchia and finish DKC: Tropical Freeze I think I'm going to play this next. I waited a year for it to hit PS Plus, so soon's the time I suppose.

The ending saved this game for me but it gets bogged down in repetitive gameplay and tedium.

The ending saved this game for me but it gets bogged down in repetitive gameplay and tedium. I loved its themes of accepting death by living life to its fullest and the redemption arc that the characters go through, but at points it feels like it would've made a better movie than a video game. The enemy design, soundtrack, and atmosphere of a deserted Shibuya are some of the best aspects of a game that I've experienced this year. I think this game could've benefitted from a traditional "level" plot progression (think Doom Eternal) instead of trying to do an open world and filling it with collectibles that I ultimately skipped. That said, it was fun to learn about different Shinto and Buddhist folklore through the side content offered in the game but not every side mission is equal in quality.

Mal optimizado, aunque con configuraciones se puede mejorar una barbaridad.

Increíble ciudad de Shibuya y una representación de Japón impresionante. Ambientación ambiciosa, y concepto original.

Graficas decentes y buen tamaño de mapa.

Jugabilidad muy básica, generalmente torpe y aburrida. Muchos bugs, se siente poco pulido y lento.

Muchos colectibles, divertido si te gusta coleccionar, aunque los Hyakki Yako (desfile fantasmas) …

Mal optimizado, aunque con configuraciones se puede mejorar una barbaridad.

Increíble ciudad de Shibuya y una representación de Japón impresionante. Ambientación ambiciosa, y concepto original.

Graficas decentes y buen tamaño de mapa.

Jugabilidad muy básica, generalmente torpe y aburrida. Muchos bugs, se siente poco pulido y lento.

Muchos colectibles, divertido si te gusta coleccionar, aunque los Hyakki Yako (desfile fantasmas) terminan siendo un dolor de cabeza si no los agarras, cosa que el juego mismo te dice que no hagas (perdi 5 hs completandolos).

El problema es la mezcla de walking simulator, FPS, y open world. Muchas buenas ideas recortadas para que fluyan en la dinámica del juego, cosa que no ocurre. Ni se acerca a un RPG, por si las dudas.

Ideas interesantes, y entornos interiores muy buenos también. Aunque repetitivas.

Gran efectos de sonido, poca música para mi gusto. Muy buenos voice actors, interacciones divertidas y realistas (dado el contexto).

Historia, sacando la hermana, básica sin fundamentos. Buen final, aunque predecible.

This is....maybe a bad game? Nonetheless I can already tell I'm going to finish and probably do a lot of sidequests. Is this what a guilty pleasure is?

I like the game well enough but I could do without the combat and the enemies in general, maybe just a game where I walk around in Tokyo?

I do want to play this, but no more open world games at launch. I'm going to wait until it has some patches under its belt and is on sale later in the year.

This looks wild. I didn't know what to expect and I haven't really looked into it before, but I think I'm on board.
