Ghostrunner 2 Reviews
Ghostrunner II offers a unique experience still unmatched in the gaming scene. The movement and combat system provides the smooth and exciting spark we came to know in the first installment, but don't forget a few appropriate tweaks. The combination of movement, katana, and special abilities make the fights addictive and fun. Unfortunately, the developers didn't make do with perfectly designed corridor levels. Despite the appealing graphics and great audiovisuals, they had to rush into a semi-open world that didn't suit the game.

There are not many intense and skill-based euphoria moments in video games that feature such great platforming and instant death moments with enemies as the dance that is performed between the player, enemy and the environment of Ghostrunner 2.
Ghostrunner II finds itself right on par with the first game. The action remains razor-sharp in the beginning, with tight movement and combat that feels rewarding when you master it. The tweaks to existing mechanics and the addition of new moves keep things from devolving into being just "more of the same" when compared to the first title. The more open areas of the desert wasteland feel too freeing, and the various inconsistent issues put a damper on the game when players are experienced. Overall, Ghostrunner II is satisfying for those who can get a thrill from quick bursts of well-executed playthroughs.
Ghostrunner 2 is a game that entertained us, irritated us, but in the end the only feeling we were left with was the satisfaction of completing it.

Ghostrunner 2‘s action is an acquired taste. It is extremely risky since players have to be both reckless and careful at the same time. The battles are cruel, yet retrying is painless. It may resemble most first-person action games you may have seen before, but it has more in common with the heedless gameplay in Katana Zero or Hotline Miami.
In the end, Ghostrunner 2 isn't about the story, it's about action to the power of 1000. If you like cyberpunk atmospheres and gory action games like Doom, this is for you. You'll also need to be patient, as it takes a while to get used to the controls. Once you do, it's like butter in the pan, as they say. Finally, the developers offer us a revisited version of their Ghostrunner series, but don't reinvent the wheel. If you've never played the series, it's best to start with the 2nd, which is more complete. The story is less important in this type of game, and you won't miss much. So, are you ready to be a ghostrunner?

Ghostrunner 2 is an excellent sequel to an already excellent game that expands the experience in every aspect with a few new ideas that are well implemented. We can't get enough of this game.

Like a cyberpunk human coming in for a couple of upgrades, Ghostrunner 2 is the first game with a few augmentations bolted to its body. Most of the new hardware its chosen to get is an improvement, but a couple of pieces weren’t really needed. There’s more focus on a story that isn’t very interesting and the experiment with open areas falls flat. However, the core mix of platforming and combat remains immensely satisfying and fun and the new bike sections are cool. Fans of the first game should be more than happy with this sequel.
I wasn’t a believer at first, but Ghostrunner 2 won me over. Sure, the story’s forgettable, and the technical performance takes a hit here or there. But the combat is sharp, the platforming is sharper, and there are quite a few surprises lying in wait. (I’m intentionally not spoiling one of the game’s coolest gameplay twists, but trust me: It rocks.) If you have room on your 2023 gaming plate for one more adventure, and you’re ready to grind through the pain, Ghostrunner 2 is well worth your time.
One More Level returns with a sequel that builds on the good foundations of the original to build a game as demanding as it is solid and deep.

Instead of being a title that defines the generation - and perhaps even the medium - Ghostrunner II has to settle for being 'merely' great. Hopefully a third entry in the series can strike a better balance between mixing things up and maintaining the well-refined gameplay as the centerpiece of attention.
All in all, Ghostrunner 2 has managed to keep (i.e., almost all) the best parts of the first game and strengthen it with a better presentation and more gameplay variations. We've got a good game that's visually impressive and has a satisfying level of difficulty. It was a game that I wanted to buy for PC in the future and finish it from start to finish and complete the challenge sections. If you liked the previous game, be sure to check this one out as well.

Ghostrunner 2 is a sequel that tries to one-up the original game but loses some of its charm along the way. The new abilities, racing sequences and puzzles are cool, but overly long stages, inconsistent design and paper thin upgrade system drags the whole thing down.

Ghostrunner 2 perfects the proposition of the first game. It's marvellous fun, but niche with it for all manner of reasons. Proceed with caution then, but know that if it works for you, it will really work.
Ghostrunner 2 is an exceptional game, and its weaknesses shouldn’t stop fans of the genre from checking it out.
Ghostrunner 2 is a wonderful game thanks to its fantastic level design and dialled-in mechanics. Although we are experiencing a hectic period of the year in terms of game releases, I highly recommend giving it a try. Be prepared, however, to “git gud” or in my case, be rubbish and keep trying till you get lucky.
Ghostrunner 2 presents an almost addicting gameplay, based on what was brought in the first entry in the franchise and add up to it. It also brings new refreshing elements in progression system, with an excellent & diverse level design and battle system, summing up to be a hugely developed experience and much fun to play than the original. However, it does repeats some mission ideas and brings about unneeded repeating, also there is lost potential in some aspects that could've given the game more value in terms of gameplay.

Ghostrunner 2 expands upon its strong foundation in ways that don't always stick the landing, working best when it returns to its signature blend of parkour and close-quarters combat.
Ghostrunner 2 builds on the successful formula of the first game and improves it in many areas, but the open world part of the gameplay feels shallow and can't keep up with the lightning pace of the main story.
