Game
In terms of gameplay, Ghostrunner is very reminiscent of Mirror’s Edge. The game features some complex and intricate movements, with the action taking place at blazing speeds. But controlling the hero is much easier than it might seem at first glance. The “A” button allows you to perform almost every single action. Whether it’s jumping over obstacles or running along walls, every move is easy enough to perform. The only other real action to consider is the dash function. This allows you to dodge attacks and get close to enemies.
This smooth gameplay and the precise control you have are essential. After all, Ghostrunner is a game that operates on a one-hit kill basis. Any mistake will lead to instant death, even if all of your enemies will succumb to even a single hit. Fortunately, there’s a bullet-time effect to slow down the action and give you time to react. This is very useful when trying to perform imaginative acrobatic moves. The fluidity of the movements and the simplicity of the controls allow you to truly perform incredible feats.
Outside of combat, Ghostrunner is primarily a mixture of puzzle and platforming. The platforming sections rotate around the fluid motion described above. Players must deftly get around the environment, carefully time wall runs and jumps to get from A to B. There are also some hidden secrets that require you to reach certain hard-to-reach spots. Meanwhile, puzzle elements are usually just a way to introduce new gameplay mechanics or skills. They are meant to teach you the basics so that you can use what you have learned in combat.
