🔸 Ghostrunner is a game about acrobatic routines, about devising them and performing them. It's what everything boils down to. You're an incredibly agile character who can wall-run, slide around, swing around, dash around, and even slow time. But you're also an incredibly fragile character who will die in one blow from anything. The challenge of Ghostrunner, therefore, is a kind of elegance: not getting hit while simultaneously getting close enough to hit and slice apart others.

• ◼️ In Ghostrunner you run fast, slide fast, kill fast, and if you can’t do those things fast enough, you die fast. It can be very demanding and requires to pinpoint platforming precision and split-second decision making, but it’s rarely ever frustrating thanks to instant respawns & mostly generous checkpointing.
  
  
• ◼️ Most importantly, open-ended combat encounters that offer multiple methods of approach. Make room at the table, Raiden, there’s a new sword-wielding cyber ninja badass in town.

🔸 One bar might be sliding down a ramp and then leaping up into the air, slowing time, strafing around a stalled projectile, then landing and slicing one enemy in half. Another might be going from there into a wall-run over to another platform and kill. Bar three might be swinging on the energy leash over to somewhere else and slowing-time to perform another kill. And so on.

◼️ Ghostrunner is a game about the joy of movement, and I love how it never loses sight of that. You're a cyborg ninja and your weapons are speed and agility; everything you do, and everything the game throws at you, revolves around it. There are many enemies and boss encounters and special abilities, but they all center on the fundamental idea of momentum.

◼️ But even beyond that demographic, this is a great first-person action game that feels punishing but fair. You may die hundreds of times, but instantaneous respawn and generous checkpointing ensure that Ghostrunner’s challenging combat and platforming never become a chore. Moreover though, Ghostrunner is jam-packed with a great variety of enemies, mechanics, and special powers that constantly changed up how I approached its unique encounters. That meant it always felt fresh, and by the end of its six to eight-hour campaign, I was all too eager to jump back in for seconds.

• ◼️ All that's left for me now is to go back and replay the individual levels, collecting the things I missed, and beating my time to completion and amount of deaths along the way. And I'll do it, not because I'm fussy about that kind of thing, but because, simply, Ghostrunner is a joy to play.
