“I enjoyed my 20 or so hours with Ghostwire: Tokyo largely because I found its world so immersive. The attention to detail in the city itself is hugely impressive, whether it’s looking to recreate the surroundings of the best-known crossing in the world or bringing life to a dank back alley. This is an environment I loved being in, and all the more so because of the many touchstones to iconic elements of Japanese culture and mythology. If the moment-to-moment gameplay – in particular its one-dimensional combat and uninteresting mission design – weren’t such a disappointment, Ghostwire: Tokyo could have truly captivated me. As it stands, the merely adequate stealth and action do nothing to add to the fantastical setting, but they don’t diminish its brilliance, either.”

Ah, IGN, complaining about the 'boring' combat… from a style they chose to play themselves over other options, and didn't bother to change when they found it starting to get boring, instead blaming the game.
The combat looks boring as hell
I've watched hours of footage and still don't see what the point of the gameplay is, and that's a problem
Jujutsu Kaisen Simulator
games need to stop making these games first person! show the damn character!
Um the real Shibuya doesn't have people like that.
Shoulda been 3rd person
…but did it turn out to be spoookyyyy???
Should wait few months. Horizon and elden ring is so big
This game should've gone full horror.
Kiryu in fps mode
This game hits different
Hubiera estado bueno que fuera como GANTZ
Cyberpunk is better.
Evil within died for this?
Perfect game for GamePass.
Guy litterally chooses to just run away and throw bombs at the enemy then complains its too easy
great review thanks. Gunna try it out for the setting also
Definitely not getting this just to support a dev studio, seems boring af
The reciew is boring
A Chinese eshay in dragon ballz
The voice acting seemed kinda meh
Let's keep it real. This is as basic as the original space invaders.
This just doesn't look fun… Pretty but boring at the same time, seems like the theme for current gen games…
I’m ten seconds in and there’s 2 more ads
If only this was a proper shooter, and not some arcady crap.
7GN!
This game constantly reminds me of jujutsu kaisen
IGN has very low standards, don't forget, in IGN's books… BF2042 is a 7/10 too.. and you all know how that game turned out. IGN should be boycotted.
Already pre ordered just for the steel book. Just gonna return the game and keep the steel book and wait for it to be on sale since I'm not in a rush to play it.
fetching toilet quest is literally in Zelda and Yakuza…how uncultured is this man >:(
Ngl looks boring asf
If this game was made and funded by Microsoft why is it a PlayStation exclusive?
My first impression on this game is, great graphics, repetetive combat, uninteresting story and side quests.
