“The game was fun to play and looked great. It's a good 8-ish hour game. I recommend getting it on a good sale though. I bought it for retail, in retrospect I think I'd pay at most $20 USD for this game.”

“I think everyone's played one of those high speed action games where death is instant and so is respawning; where you'll mess something up 20 times before you nail it and it looks and feels amazing. Ghostrunner is a…”

“Finally got around to play this game and boy, is it a test of resilience. Still though, I enjoyed it. Not sure when I'll tackle the harder modes - but both the base game and the DLC Project_Hel have been an enjoyable…”
“Love this game! Came back after a long break to finish all achievements. Currently on it and the music is just so good.”
“I absolutely recommend this game to others, the story was good with some exciting twist, the graphics are amazing, and most of all the gameplay is addicting, fast paced, and really engaging. I also love the diversity…”

“There are better puzzle games and better parkour games. It's a nice idea but even at AU$15 I feel ripped off. Getting what you want out of the movement system is harder than is should be and many of the puzzlecour…”
“You better like doing the same thing over and over and over again. One hit kills and quick restarts are integral parts of the game, so sometimes you'll do the same 20 seconds of gameplay ten times back to back until you…”

“This game is built around dying repeatedly in quick succession and has charge based abiities that don't recharge on respawn, meaning that you only get to use your abilities once every couple dozen attempts. That really…”

“The game is decent overall. I like the one-hit-kill concept, and the mix of parkour and katana combat is engaging; it really pushes your reflexes. That said, a few aspects didn’t appeal to me personally, especially the…”

“After playin Titanfall 2, Ive been wantin another game with wall-running and fast takedowns. I didnt expect it to feel this good. The mobility’s insane, and nailing clean moves once you master it gives a huge adrenaline rush. But it has a steep learning curve n most late levels…”
— a player, Steam review · 10 hrs played“Frustrating but fun and satisfying to learn the enemy layouts and then execute the perfect run. It definitely feels harder than it is at first until you learn to dodge properly. Lots of enemy variety and abilities. To me the tower section everyone complains about wasn't even…”
— a player, Steam review · 20 hrs played“85/100 My 160th game since 2020. Lovely game. A breathe of fresh air. Probably they should have done a Rougelite with this one. More health instead of instakill. More weapons. More extended levels. That would have been amazing. Thank you game developers.”
