“really nice short game . interesting story . smooth gameplay . u can end it like with 10h .”
“7/10. Short and sweet. While the gameplay is solid, the world is lacking in meaningful interaction beyond side quests.”
“I find myself coming back to this game more often than not for new playthroughs. Bethesda & Tango really nailed the rainy Tokyo vibe, with every street feeling authentic - from the narrow alleyways to the neon lit…”

“The best and worst thing about this game is its open world. Best because it's a stunningly beautiful rendition of Tokyo and fun to traverse. Worst because it's filled to the brim with time-wasting filler collectibles…”

“I am honesty mixed on this game. This is a game where I wished steam could give a neutral option in the recommendation of a game. I will talk about the good parts of the game first. 1. Graphics: In terms of graphics,…”

“This is complex to review. At its core, Ghostwire is a really incredible game; the amount of detail, lore and worldbuilding is absolutely phenomincal, as well as the voice acting and sound design. All the textures are…”
“Enjoyed the combat a lot more then I would have expected. Had more fun getting all the collectibles and going for 100% map completion than the main story but it isn't bad It wasn't really the horror experience that I…”
“It is a unique game, I can't really compare it to anything else in my library. If you love Japanese culture, folk lore and mysticism combined into a first person action advanture game, this is your game. I played it in…”

“NOT ACTUALLY STEAM DECK VERIFIED. This game has (apparently looking over 4 years of reddit threads) unplayable input lag when using a controller on any format. If you are planning on picking up on the steamdeck DO NOT.…”
“I love this game. It has undeniable charm and vibes. This is one of my comfort games and also one of those games I play if I am looking for really good immersion. This game is somewhat an immersive sim in some ways. It…”
“If you can get this on sale, grab it. The story is too short for the price, but combat and vibes alone are worth to pick it up at a discount. It's an awesome time-sink for the completionist/collection type gamers.…”

“the game is.... meh. the story is nice, the enemies are good, the bosses are interesting and the map is the best part of the game. but the gameplay?. horrible. the camera is worse then many indie games, the "parkour" is…”
“I tried to play this game while sick and it made me feel like I was going to hurl. The way the camera rotates when you look around is just wrong. A must buy for people who like to vomit. 10/10 would hurl again.”

“Beautiful and well made open world, and one of the better implementations of ray tracing in a game. also one of the best implementations of the ps5 controller's features so if you have one try it out for sure. The…”
“I don't enjoy first person games and I'm weak against most horror, but something about this game compelled me to push through my discomfort and I'm glad I did. I may not be good at the combat still but I'm having so…”
“Tango Gameworks my beloved... This is an interesting take on an open world game as they incorportate different aspects from Japanese mythology. The entirety of Shibuya is your playground as you grapple to rooftops and…”

“I kind of feel like I went on a little trip to Tokyo : ) To me this game was fun and beautiful. I love the theme with helping ghosts, (Natsume fan <3). When I play a game like this I super level up my guy right away because I hate long battles and I play on easy. Mostly I liked…”

You can find demons, spirits and weird creatures, some benign, others openly…”
— a player, Steam review · 32 hrs played“Reviewing (mostly) every game (or DLC) in my library, part 603: ⭐️☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ (1/10) Gee, I would LOVE to play the game, but it seems the devs adding Denuvo after launch has completely borked performance. I'm not one to care about such things, but the game is honestly unplayable.…”
