Ghostrunner 2 is a perfectly executed cyberpunk slasher, providing an unmatched level of fluidity, engaging combat and a robust narrative.
More of the same, only better: Ghostrunner 2 is even more polished than its predecessor, even faster, even cooler and above all: even more fun.

Un bonne suite, un peu différent du premier mais tout aussi amusant.
L'optimisation est globalement bonne, quelques rares moments de freeze a signaler.
La moto c'est vraiment cool (-:
J'espère qu'on aura une suite...

No game is perfect, but i am giving this one a 10 because kudos to the studio since this is an extremely fun and very well priced experience. The game makes u feel badass all the time and you are constantly engaging with the mechanics the game offer in a very organic way that makes the experience feel fair yet constantly pushing you to be better, faster and look cooler. This is a game for someone who enjoys fast pace games and constant input from the player. The combat feels smooth and crunchy at the same time, is like you are gracefully dancing in a **** of bullets and death. The music is also very nice with beats that just reinforce the great vibe this game has, sometimes the OST gives me like john wick vibes and you do feel that badass when all clicks and you feel the beat while moving fast AF and precisely slashing your foes. This is a fantastic game and i would recommend to anyone who is a fan of action games, ninjas, speed and all that suave stuff.

Ghostrunner 2 demands the reflexes of a speedrunner, the skill of a no-hitter and the patience of a Buddhist Monk. The difficulty might be too much for some people, but if you like this kind of challenge, here you will find an adrenaline injection enjoyable to the end.
It is great that Ghostrunner 2 exists, as there are simply not many games that can match the quality of its brand of action. With its formula and level design, players are always going to be finding something new to marvel at, impressed by its thumping music and the majority of its visuals. Yet, its attempt at stringing together a more cohesive and engaging narrative is not of the same quality, which is a shame. Nevertheless, for those seeking an exhilarating time full of mindblowing moments driven by your own ingenuity, Dharma Tower lies ahead, and I hope you are ready for it.
Ghostrunner 2 shines with its new features, however, it sticks to the old successful formula. It has decent moments of inspiration, balanced with a familiar repetitive system. Challenging in its essence, it returns even more frenetic, fun and daring.
The best additions are the new forms of traversal, creating the most exciting missions of both the original and sequel combined. However, the time you spend with these is short-lived. Also, I can't help but feel the bosses were a missed opportunity, where only one stands out and makes a name for itself. Nevertheless, more of a good thing is always nice, and if you found yourself a fan of the first, you'll enjoy Ghostrunner 2, especially for the low 40-dollar price tag.
Ghostrunner 2 has some fun moments, though it can often be difficult to see past a lot of the performance issues and inconsistent level design. When the game's at its best, slicing through a horde of enemies and jumping around like a ninja, it can be an exhilarating experience. However, it might be worth waiting for a patch to address a lot of the core issues present at launch.
Great game very fun and differing play styles keep the game fresh
The fast paced action is so fun but it’s very forgiving with check point saves manages to strike a perfect balance of challenge and fun

That soundtrack alone is what makes this Game Of The Year worthy.
Other factors include:
Lightning fast movement
Fluid controls
Great story
A Motorcycle straight out of Akira

“Ghostrunner 2” improves on multiple aspects when it comes to the gameplay from its predecessor, it attempts to reinvent itself by emphasizing gameplay mechanics and systems that build on what the original game did, only this time around they add combo meters, experience points, currency, and even a hub area in which to interact with a number of new characters.I personally think the story of the first game didn’t need more characters or development, it was fine as it was; a fun action romp with focus in individual -but well-developed characters-, here it seems as if none of the characters really have significant interactions, most of the game is written with humour, but a lot of it is similar to the ones from that of Marvel films, a type of dialog that I, personally, can’t stand. It all makes it for the characters to feel artificial and like they’re pandering the player, more than actually elaborating a good premise or a story.Having said that, there’s some good jokes and dialog here and there, is just that the concept of the first game was a more focused and intelligent one than this; here they even use -at times-, concepts that the writers didn’t seem to fully grasp, like they relate the death of ego which is a very profound a complex concept regarding spirituality; to the death or religion? Moments like this hurt the game, because at times it feels as if there’s a significant message trying to be transmitted here by the writers, but not one that they fully understood, or wanted to develop to completion.I also think the gameplay in particular when it comes to the difficulty balancing, just isn’t good enough anymore; the type of one hit-one death type of style work in a relatively good way in the first game because it was a more focused experience, even when it came to its mechanics and gameplay systems. Here, the gameplay is notorious for incentivizing the player to experiment with its systems, but in contrast to the last game, it feels more punishing, because any attempt at actually exploring those systems results, in most cases, in your death. I’ve played challenging games before, but not ones as frustrating as “Ghostrunner 2”, there’s a distinction between making a game hard but compelling, or hard but frustrating; sadly, I found this game to be the latter.I genuinely think that this emphasis in high difficulties, and punishing styles of gameplay, is worse for the medium at the end of the day, “Ghostrunner 2” exemplifies that not every game benefits from being a brutal experience, I genuinely think if more of an effort would’ve gone towards the story or the balance of difficulty in the game, I would’ve enjoyed my experience a lot more than I did.I think most games resolve this issue by adding difficulty settings, which in turn, implements a second problem; how to balance such things? But I really think that the question should be on how difficulty is implemented, and not so much on whether it should be implemented. I know if I had -even a slightly-, easier time with “Ghostrunner 2”, I would’ve enjoyed my experience a heck of a lot more.Hell, I even would’ve been able to finish it.

The game would be fun but it's buggy to the point of being unplayable. The upgrade screen got locked out due to a bug in the tutorial for it so now several hours in I have to completely give up on this playthrough and hope that if I start over it doesn't happen again, but I won't know until hours into the new playthrough so I'm not gonna bother.

This game is a steaming pile of garbage. The greedy developers are charging $40 for a short 6 hour campaign, and there doesn't appear to be any multiplayer. The puzzles are trash. The physics are beyond horrible. The levels are lazily designed. The gore is laughable. The blood literally looks and reacts like ketchup. The gameplay is boring and repetitive. The dialogue is cringeworthy. The motorcycle driving mechanics are shovelware quality. These motorcycle sequences are terrible and so are the boss fights. I had some unfair deaths in this game, because there are instances where the game doesn't make it clear what I can do with the gameplay mechanics or the world. ● As I mentioned before, there is no multiplayer. So once you beat the story, there is literally not a reason to play this game again. Charging $40 for a game with no replay value is a cash grab. Well at least this game isn't $60. If this were Insomniac, they would've easily charged $70 for this short game. Regardless, this game is still not worth the $40 and it's just too boring. The developers heavily advertised the motorcycle, which is nothing more than a gimmick that gets old fast. How about they spend time actually improving the gameplay, instead of coming up with gimmicks. I don't recommend this game at all, unless you want to support laziness.
