Ghostwire: Tokyo Reviews
Ghostwire: Tokyo on the Xbox Series X successfully creates an interactive Japanese horror movie on this next-gen console that is filled with scares and enjoyable gaming moments. Best of all, this version has all the latest updates and improvements that really fine-tunes this gaming experience.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is an intriguing gameplay experience, one that is marred by simplistic combat and repetitive mechanics.
Ghostwire: Tokyo's mechanics aren't fleshed out enough to support its open-world gameplay, failing to come together and form a cohesive experience. It has a premise that could easily hook you but doesn't do anything to capitalize on its eerie rendition of the Japanese city.
Ghostwire: Tokyo has a unique "modern ghost" cultural setting, but the tedious open-world design dilutes this feature, leaving the gaming experience repetitive and monotonous. The boring battle experience and dull main storyline will down its rating from "worth a try" to "not very recommended". Of course, for players who love Japanese "oni" culture and various urban legends, or who don't feel repulsed by checklist-based open-world games, this game is still worth watching.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is an experience where immersion and originality is born from the technical and artistic brilliance on display, and the care and attention to detail Tango has put into every building and alley-way you discover.
Ghostwire: Tokyo mixes unique ideas with formulaic design, and though the latter does affect the experience, it is ultimately still a solid, enjoyable game that's well worth experiencing.
Ghostwire Tokyo pays tribute to japanese folklore and criticizes the contradictions of society. it deals with existential themes and tells a story of loss and resilience.

Ghostwire: Tokyo envisions a world that is wonderful and interesting to explore at first glance, but soon reveals itself to be shallow and lacking in its writing and combat.
Despite its awkward pacing, one-note combat and tedious open world collectible hunting, Ghostwire: Tokyo is as unique and atmospheric as they come. Side-stepping its horror roots, Tango Gameworks delves into the depths of Japanese folklore and urban myth through the lens of the modern world and the results are as refreshingly charming as they are routinely unnerving.
With Ghostwire: Tokyo, Tango Gameworks delivers an original title with a captivating supernatural twist on Tokyo inspired by Japanese folklore.
Tango Gameworks’ made a name for themselves with their survival horror hits. Ghostwire delivers on all counts while being a distinctive departure from their previous work... It’s a scary experience that even the faint of heart can handle.
Part X Files and part Yu Yu Hakusho, GhostWire: Tokyo offers a completely fresh take on the sandbox RPG formula. It has action when it needs to and it never inundates the player with constant noise or obnoxious tasks to fool them into thinking that they are engaged.
In the end, Ghostwire: Tokyo will satisfy that weeb-y curiosity when it comes to Japanese folklore while also giving you a fair bit of busy-work to keep your playtime high. Its overall gameplay is pretty solid, the story is above average when it comes to games from Bethesda-owned studios, and the feeling you get when you reach that points of unease can hit you like a ton of bricks, even if it does get repetitive from the second you capture your first set of lost spirits and send them off to Ed.
Ghostwire: Tokyo is clearly not for everyone. Although it’s not particularly scary, it can definitely cause fatigue due to the haunting, unnerving atmosphere. More often than not, the game feels very depressive, but it’s impossible not to recognize Tango Gameworks’ ability to create unique, interesting worlds to explore.
Despite the monotony creeping in with time and the lack of satisfaction with the plot, it is a must for all fans of Japanese climates.

I'm going to say to Mikami, "We're not going to count this, we'll wait for it again," and I'm going to pray that he runs the next game instead of giving it to the apprentices.

GhostWire: Tokyo is a very good game, in which the recreation of Tokyo is simply fantastic, with a Japanese folklore that is very present in the adventure, managing to create an unbeatable atmosphere. In addition, playably it is very fun, despite falling into a scarce variety with the passage of the hours.

Ghostwire: Tokyo offers a fun experience for horror and ghost game lovers, especially japanese superstition lovers, with a fun story, but we soon forget about the lack of a special relationship you have with the characters of the story and its world.
