Put your sword to the test in Ghostrunner Demo here
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.

The Game is Great but i lost my save file 3x times ...
So i gave up, i was almost finishing the game 80% more or less, but i wans´t able to start a 4th time
The game's plot is one giant cliche; if you DO want a bit more, you can find a bunch of audio logs and mementos of the City and life before the Burst as collectibles- there's even an optional upgrade that'll highlight them on your radar map. But the story really isn't the point here.
The point is, unequivocally, action. The game is about getting from point A to point B, either platforming your way through various urban and industrial complexes, or making it through a tight area full of enemies who must all be killed to unlock the door forward. One hit kills you, and them, so this is as much a precision platformer as it is a parkour game. Each challenge, be it platforming or a combat sequence, is essentially a puzzle-find the optimal way of using your limited skillset to get the task done. Reloads are instantaneous, and the presentation pushes you ever forward. The game nails the cyberpunk aesthetic (though a few levels are drabber than others, and the absolute highlight of the game are the residential districts), and the soundtrack is phenomenal in how it resonates with the game's pacing to keep you going. The way enemies die, the way you move through the world, the way your extra powers work- it all coalesces into an amazing power fantasy, that leaves you thinking "what I did was cool". To put it simply, once you've managed to kill 5-6 enemies in a single choreographed go, you're feeling too good about yourself to get upset that a 7th got a lucky shot in.
There's also boss fights. They're all about pattern recognition, and can be very frustrating (a few took me north of 300 attempts each). But the game generally does very generous checkpointing and it almost never feels unfair. While simply finishing the game once you know what you're doing can be fairly trivial, it took me about 30 hours to finish and then re-run a few levels with unlocked upgrades for some achievements. Overall, a great package for action fans; you'll certainly get your money's worth!
The controls are not as fluid and smooth as the trailer makes it look. They are too janky and glitchy for a one-hit-kill game like Katana Zero (which has the snappy controls this game lacks).
I honestly didn't make it far into the game, but if the core mechanics don't feel good, why would you?
If the original Super Mario Brothers didn't have realible (although sluggish) controls, it would have been yet another fast forgotten mediocre platformer.
In the same way, Ghostrunner is another, fast forgotten neo noir that is looks slick but doesn't play smooth. Also, personally, I feel I'm pretty over the neon lights look There's a lot more you can do, other than copy the streets of Blade Runner.
