Presentation
Anyone who has seen a screenshot of Ghostrunner will know that it has a distinctive art style. The world is unashamedly cyberpunk in nature, with everything having some sort of Blade Runner aesthetic. This gives the game world a dystopian vibe that pervades each section. In addition, the characters all have an impressive design while each level of the tower has a unique look. What this does is ensure that environments stick to a theme but also look consistently fresh.
Everything about Ghostrunner’s sound design is exceptional. There is a satisfying feeling to each effect. Whether it’s the swords colliding with an enemy or the shooting of armed soldiers, the audio is authentic. It also gives each action and enemy a unique sound, helping you to easily identify what you are facing. Then, of course, there is the musical score. Ghostrunner has a pulsating synth soundtrack that perfectly encapsulates the on-screen action. While it may not be something you will hear outside of the game, it works well to accompany the gameplay.
Final verdict
Ghostrunner is a game full of style and fast-paced action. Players will almost never have a moment for themselves, as the combat and platforming get tight and fast. You will die a lot in Ghostrunner because it is a difficult experience.
Fortunately, the fast loading times and fun gameplay keep the game from being frustrating. It will also allow you to play in different styles and adapt to different challenges. Add in the decent story and great presentation and Ghostrunner is a real winner.
Ghostrunner is now available on PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch. Owners of the PS4 and Xbox One versions will receive a free upgrade to the next generation versions when they are released in 2021.
