Eurogamer's review of Ghostwire: Tokyo, a beatuifully otherworldly, but occasionally tiresome action-horror game.
Ghostwire: Tokyo's unique supernatural combat and eerily beautiful open-world paper over the cracks of its subpar story and inconsistent side missions.
Despite the care on display, Tango’s newest is too often a slog
Uncomplicated fun with unfinished business.
An empty world not hampered by its lack of things to do but strengthened by its commitment to being desolate.
Ghostwire: Tokyo feels like a throwback to a different era of action game design. It takes an off-beat approach to world design, story encounters, and combat pacing that won't be for everyone, but if you can get it to click into place you'll have a resoundingly chill time hunting ghosts throughout Tokyo.
Ghostwire: Tokyo feels like a step back from what Tango Gameworks has produced in the past. While its combat system is fun in bursts, it becomes repetitive far too quickly. The open world is jam-packed with busywork, and the story doesn't go anywhere interesting either. Excellent PS5 DualSense controller support, haunting elements, and nice visuals aside, Ghostwire: Tokyo will have to go down as a miss.
With superb visual design and an incredibly well-realised rendition of Tokyo, Ghostwire gets a lot right, but just doesn't quite have the gameplay chops to push it over the top.
Ghostwire: Tokyo's open world Tokyo hosts ghost-fighting, soul-collecting and a little too much flimsy busywork in between.
