Ghostrunner 2 Reviews
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 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.

A great sequel that takes everything the first game offered and adds a set of new mechanics and ideas which elevate the exciting action slasher to a whole new level. The combat and parkour are faster, deadlier, and more violent. And although some of the new mechanics like the motorbike isn't utilized as I would have liked, the overall experience is great for those who fell in love with the first title.

The good news about Ghostrunner 2 is that if you liked the first game, then you’re pretty much guaranteed to like this one too, since it’s basically the same.
Ghostrunner 2 is exactly the kind of sequel you'd want after the first game - expanding on the concept with more gameplay options, encounters, and mechanics to great effect...Not all the improvements are straight home runs, and some bugginess does occasionally frustrate - but they aren't big enough deals to distract from what is an overwhelmingly fun gameplay loop.
A sequel’s primary objective should be to evolve its predecessor in every way that matters, and in most ways, Ghostrunner 2 accomplishes this to great effect. There’s a plethora of new and explosive special abilities, better interactions with characters and gameplay that’s as dynamic and viscerally satisfying as ever. It provides a tough but fair challenge that’s never too difficult and can be overcome with persistence and changing things up. Ghostrunner 2 is an example of a model sequel that improves on almost every facet of the first game. Yes, the dark, concrete arenas and rooftops grow stale, and there’s still more room to make the characters and story more substantial, but what’s here is refined and even more badass than what came before. If the first Ghostrunner put you off, you should give this one a slash.
Ghostrunner 2, the new release from One More Level, is a spectacular action adventure that tests our reflexes as we move at full speed through a cyberpunk world. With a duration of approximately 12 hours, this installment only needs a simple plot and a handful of new villains to offer an adventure that is strengthened with a couple of new mechanics and a simple but effective gameplay.

Ghostrunner 2 embodies the epitome of a well-executed sequel. It doesn’t overshadow its precursor; instead, it leverages the original as a foundation for expansion and enhancement. The world-building and character development represent a significant leap in quality, and the unwavering pace of action propels it into a class of its own. The introduction of new abilities, expanded non-linear level design, and refined movement mechanics render this game a must-play for those looking to hone their 3D platforming skills.
Ghostrunner 2 is simply an enhanced version of the original game. It takes the core fundamentals of Ghostrunner and enhances them in every way possible, including the way it looks, the upgrade process, skills, motorcycle gameplay, and puzzles. There is a noticeable improvement in the fluidity of movement and battle. It's a great example of a sequel that advances in some ways while also regressing in others; it has incredible highs and a few unpleasant lows. Both fans of the series and first-timers of the game can expect to have fun with this latest installment.
Ghostrunner 2 improves upon the original in every way, with the refined mechanics, new additions, and smarter design making for a very impressive sequel. It’s equally brutal to play too, with a TON of deaths suffered during my playthrough – but hey, that’s all part of the fun, right? It feels like a genuine evolution of what was already a very fun formula, and whilst it does have some technical issues that could cause some frustration, there’s no denying that Ghostrunner 2 is a stylish and thrilling experience.
Ghostrunner 2 was developed as an honest sequel for those who became fans of the series in 2020 and now have the opportunity to once again wield a sonic blade to dismember enemies and perform impressive movements to walk through the psychedelic settings of a cyberpunk world with interesting stories to tell and more bodies to tear apart. The sequel is a welcome evolution of its predecessor, with substantial improvements to gameplay and visual aspects, maintaining the thrilling action that characterizes the series, while providing a more controlled and manageable pace. It's a sequel that should please both fans of the first game and new players looking for action and challenge.

Ghostrunner 2 is as exciting, hectic, challenging and satisfying as the original. It occasionally fails with some of the new ideas and for certain players, the degree of similarity between the prequel and sequel might be too great to warrant a purchase. However, it still is an incredibly satisfying and pretty slasher.
Ghostrunner 2 is a visually stunning game with fast-paced combat and parkour gameplay that requires quick reflexes and strategic thinking. It can be challenging at times due to its steep learning curve and one-hit-one-death mechanic but offers a rewarding experience for those who persevere. It is more of the same so you know what to expect. It is a game that delights and frustrates in equal measure.
Video games are finally back. Finally, we have another good 3D platformer that isn’t just a Nintendo game. I mean, those are great, but I want more. And so, our favorite AA-grade hack-and-slash ninja platformer is back with a sequel, with more hacking, more slashing, more ninja and a bike.
Ghostrunner 2 follows on very closely from the first, adding in some enemies, abilities and mechanics, but very much maintaining the essence that made it a cult hit in the first place. Its brutal and often unfair difficulty mean its really not going to be for everyone and the performance and bugs could present a real tipping point for those who are just about managing to keep pace. But for fans of the first, those who love dynamic action sequences and are ok with a little bit of tough love, you’re going to fall head over heels for this one.
As a sequel, Ghostrunner 2 delivers an exciting and worthwhile entry by elevating the series to new heights.
Ghostrunner 2 improves and builds upon its predecessor in almost every single way. Its narrative, gameplay loop, and combat have been significantly fleshed out, and the addition of a roguelike mode and new motorcycle sequences make it a far more replayable and engrossing package overall.
Otherwise, there's not much more to add: if you liked the original and/or are a fan of action games, Ghostrunner 2 will provide you with multiple hours of fun. The graphics are quite attractive, the soundtrack is electrifying and I found almost no bugs in the several hours I spent with the game. Yes, the controls are sometimes unreliable and your ninja will perform moves you didn't authorise: but when the game works properly and you perform combo after combo, flying safely through the air, there's no better feeling.

Ghostrunner II is an adrenaline-pumping tour de force full of brutal sword fights, challenging platformer passages and high-speed motorbike races. Apart from minor weaknesses, you can expect one of the best (and most difficult) action games of the year.

If you liked the first Ghostrunner it’s a no brainer, for those not into reflex-focused gaming, maybe wait until it drops in price.
