Ghostrunner

Back in 2020 I played the demo for the game on pc and really liked it. The controls were smooth and responsive and the gameplay fast and challenging which really intrigued me, so I added it to my wishlist. Two years past and suddenly its free with playstation plus. I finally played through it, and it was great.

The story is interesting enough and gives a reason for moving forward, climbing the tower, but ultimately you don't have to focus on that. The mechanics and challenge is what is what drove me through the experience. It's so satisfying to play and it never feels unfair. It won't work for everybody and some people will fall off because of the challenge and platforming, and it works great with controller as soon as you get used to the controls. With a new stand alone dlc just being released, it's a great time to jump in, but to be honest I'm probably going to wait for that to go on sale as well.

It isn't the longest experience if you play video games and stick with it. It took me around 6 hours to play through the entirety of the campaign and still finding a few of the hidden artifacts in each level. The mechanics are great and its a good combination of cyberpunk and mirrors edge, definitely worth playing through at some point if the trailers interest you.

8/10.
