Ghostrunner is a hardcore FPP slasher packed with lightning-fast action, set in a grim, cyberpunk megastructure. Climb Dharma Tower, humanity’s last shelter, after a world-ending cataclysm. Make your way up from the bottom to the top, confront the tyrannical Keymaster, and take your revenge.
The streets of this tower city are full of violence. Mara the Keymaster rules with an iron fist and little regard for human life.
As resources diminish, the strong prey on the weak and chaos threatens to consume what little order remains. The decisive last stand is coming. A final attempt to set things right before mankind goes over the edge of extinction.
As the most advanced blade fighter ever created, you’re always outnumbered but never outclassed. Slice your enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to
prevail.
One-hit one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a never-ending dance with death fearlessly.
Ghostrunner offers a unique single-player experience: fast-paced, violent combat, and an original setting that blends science fiction with post-apocalyptic themes. It tells the story of a world that has already ended and its inhabitants who fight to survive.

Do you seek a challenge? Come on in. Are you easily frustrated? Don't bother.
You hop into the action, die within seconds, instantly respawn. Die again, instantly respawn, repeat. And then you learn. Expect to fail an absurd amount of times, until you figure out the most efficient way to remove every obstacle in your way.
A few aspects that I find worth commenting on:
Action. It's fast. VERY fast. You will need to slow time constantly, and it won't be enough. In time, you might replace strategy with pure skill and reflex speed, or perhaps not.
The way out. Just like in Dishonored (you can see the relation), there are multiple ways to solve each scenario.
The bosses. Only three of them, but souls-level frustrating. (Also, one of them is a rythm game in disguise. Don't bother looking at Hel, the best way to beat her is playing the rythm.) If you are easily frustrated... don't.
The music. Just fantastic, if you enjoy the type of music.
The graphics. Very nice.
The worst part? Platforming levels. Uuuuugh.

- Fast-paced, no-barrels-hold, unforgiving skill-based action
- Music matches the mood, movement and action are smooth
- Fast respawns, usually (sometimes you fall for a whole second)
- Stressing! (I recommend rests between levels)
- Boring, predictable story (I hear they improved on II)
- This game made me hate platforming

Game is great. It does take bit to get used to the fast paced playstyle of it, but I could just be getting old.
Dying in one hit is kind of annoying on long runs, but feels very rewarding when you beat something that took ten minutes of concentration to complete.
8.5/10 on this game, it's pretty solid and is a lot of fun.

Ghostrunner Review
Ghostrunner is a fast-paced first-person action game with a focus on parkour and swordplay. Players take on the role of a cybernetically enhanced assassin known as the Ghostrunner, tasked with climbing the Dharma Tower and overthrowing the tyrannical Keymaster.
The game is notable for its one-hit-one-kill gameplay, which rewards precision and timing. Players must use their mobility skills to navigate the game's challenging levels and eliminate enemies with swift and deadly strikes.
Ghostrunner is a visually stunning game with a unique cyberpunk aesthetic. The soundtrack is also excellent, with a mix of synthwave and electronic music that perfectly complements the game's fast-paced gameplay.
