Limited exploration

Collecting
And more become repetitive
Lackluster story
Underwhelming upgrades

Abstract: Ghostwire: Tokyo is the first game that's made me glad I have a PS5. Admittedly, that's a bit of a backhanded compliment coming from me. Even though I was lucky enough to get a PS5 on day one, if I'm being honest I've barely touched it since then. Apart f...
I enjoyed my 20 or so hours with Ghostwire: Tokyo largely because I found its world so immersive. The attention to detail in the city itself is hugely impressive, whether it's looking to recreate the surroundings of the best-known crossing in the world or...

Ghostwire: Tokyo has an interesting setting, but a lackluster story, monotonous combat, and disappointing visuals make for a forgettable adventure that doesn't justify its next-gen-only status, or the full asking price...
