Despite some concerns over its mission design and combat, critics seem to have fallen for GhostwireTokyo's undeniable charm and atmosphere.
Reviews for the highly anticipated Ghostwire: Tokyo have begun to roll out, and it looks like critics have plenty of nice things to say about Tango Gameworks' supernatural action-FPS. The latest Sony exclusive had gamers excited for it in the lead-up to this week, with many praising the game's trailers and gameplay showcases for its unique approach to combat and fleshed-out urban fantasy world.
Ghostwire: Tokyo will take players to a fictionalized version of its titular city, as the overwhelming majority of its population has disappeared in a mysterious event. Players will fill the shoes of Akito, a man possessed by a spirit detective known as KK. Although KK has his own goals, he grants Akito mystical powers that he can use to fight against the onslaught of demonic enemies called Visitors.
While all these reviews have plenty of good things to say about the game and none are explicitly negative, it's clear that critics are somewhat split on Ghostwire: Tokyo as a whole. The game's dark, magical interpretation of Tokyo has been almost universally praised, but some critics have taken greater issue with its mission design than others. The other point of contention appears to be combat, which is being described as overstaying its welcome.
It's worth noting that these reviews are not contradictory in any major way - critics appear to have reached a broad consensus about the charm of Ghostwire Tokyo's world. When it comes to the gameplay and mission design, they aren't being called completely broken, so it may just be a matter of how much someone is willing to put up with potentially repetitive gameplay in favor of a richly detailed world.
