Ghostrunner

But the few last level are so awful i would have prefered to never touch that thing. -Kamikaze enemies in a melee/speed-run focused game... Youhou, i can choose to play defensively and abuse power or to avaoid them by doing some stupid move abusing the ai... really awesome -a boring final boss (but to be fair, it could be worse) -an awful final level with an huge difficulty spike, making it an infernal die and retry treadmill, and killing any impression of speed (or fun). it's sad considering that before that, the game was so fun... Also, it's super short (6 hours), and the replay value isn't good, because of those bad last level, but also thanks to some pretty but boring the second time exposition level/ tutoriels/ light puzzle.. Could have been a good game... but it's not. If you want a Cyberpunk slasher, check out Ruiner, and if you want a fast paced wall running carnage... Titanfall2.

Ghostrunner is a fun little action game centered around one big mechanics: one hit kills. You will die in one hit, but so will all the enemies. You're constantly outnumbered, but you have so many tools at your disposal that the enemies will be kind of outmatched if you're playing right. The game itself says it best. It's tough, but fair. It plays a lot like a fast paced, melee version of Superhot. However there is one big issue. Boss fights. There are 4 total (this isn't a long game) and every single one of them is terrible. Not only does it completely break up the lightning fast pacing of the game, but as you can imagine it's not fun fighting something with a health bar when you die in one hit. The boss fights completely go against the whole point of the game, and not only that, none of them are fun to fight.

The good: -Graphics -Music -Art/visuals -The idea behind the gameplay mechanics, but not its implementation The bad: -Boring, cliche story, uninteresting characters -Repetitive, environment never changes - every level looks basically the same -Too difficult, zero margin for error, no ability to adjust difficulty -Frequent crashes that force you to redo extremely difficult levels over and over Angry Rant: Never before has a game made me feel visceral hatred towards it. When it's not crashing, it runs very smoothly and looks great. But then it crashes. I had over a dozen and a half crashes during my 14 hours of playthrough. My GPU is GTX970, the recommended card, and my cpu meets the minimum requirements. I dialled down the graphics settings. Still, it crashed multple times, forcing me to redo extremely difficult levels. It was enraging to the point of torture. The gameplay is so extremely difficult that it is punishing. Every level, every step you take, everything has to be perfectly timed and choreographed to make it through the level. One mistake - boom, you die. Instant death. No margin for error. You are forced to redo the same segment over and over for over a hundred times per level. How is this supposed to be fun? This is a game for masochists. Perhaps I wouldn't hate this game so much if I didn't force myself to finish it, but once I start something I have to finish it, so I endured the torture. Also, I already dumped money on it. To the level designers: what were you thinking when you designed that spinning laser thing? Heck, the entire game. What were you thinking?!! And to think there's a hardcore mode after the regular game. You gotta be kidding me. Allow us to adjust the difficulty, fix the random crashes, and my 1/5 star becomes a 4/5.

Вы умираете с одного удара Враги - тоже При этом можно отбивать снаряды большинства врагов обратно, бегать по стенам и замедлять время (как в Принце Персии). Можно прокатиться на вражеском дроне и обрушить его на головы врагов Можно устроить дуэль с вражеским мечником (но не ждите что его товарищи будут ждать в сторонке) Можно использовать супер-приемы типа разрубающего рывка или ударной волны (которая тоже отражает снаряды) P.S. Платформы убивают

Like the Mirrors Edge games, this is fun...when you can zip effortlessly around and keep that sweet momentum going. Basically it's Portal + Mirror's Edge + Furi, with the self-contained areas and puzzle solving of the former (except the puzzle is combat), the momentum/running of the second, and the irritating boss design and wildly unfocused writing of the latter. The writing gets a -37 out of 5 stars. I mean, it would've been way better with no writing. On every level. Just skip the story and give us fun gameplay without the bad exposition. None of the bosses have that momentum you get from running around, you get dumped in an arena and have to figure out their gimmicks while slowly moving around. The boss design is garbage. The game is beautiful and I love the design (except for the last area). Meh soundtrack. The puzzles and collectibles ruin the flow of the game and are pointless. The entire point of the game is to keep going, not to stop and look behind every crate. Some areas are not well designed for combat. Rather than zooming around, you have to wait for platforms or use stealth, which is not this game's strong suit. A lot of the difficulty is fake RNG-based stuff. Beating this game isn't a matter of "git gud," it's a matter of figure out the enemy pattern and throw yourself at it enough times that you don't screw it up. Slight tweaks (lower cooldowns, a one-hit shield, etc.) could've fixed this; the "one-shot-death" design works against the game because you get bogged down repeating some areas. The platforming/grapple system sometimes kills you for no reason. The upgrade system is dumb. When you die, you can respawn instantly (as in, the game is optimized really well for that). For some rooms this means fun "learning the room." For others, it means dying 100x for no reason. TL;DR: buy it on sale, enjoy the running, ignore everything else. You will die a lot. Zoom zoom is fun. Game is only a couple hours long.
