The closest comparison I can make gameplay-wise is that of Mirror’s Edge, especially in terms of its speed and freerunning style. You see, in Ghostrunner you need to be constantly on the move, and that’s how the game wants you to play it. In fact, I don’t think I’ve died so many times in a game tutorial in my 40-year history of playing games as I have here with Ghostrunner. The gameplay takes a while to get used to, mostly as death is hugely prevalent. There are also aids to help assist you with shooting as well and you’ll need these as you move swiftly across the world, taking in the ability to jump, duck and wield a huge sword to take down enemies who want to shoot you in the face with lasers guns. Oh, and 4K resolution and 120fps are also supported. Set in the first person throughout, and now with Xbox Series X|S optimised upgrades, everything can be toggled to include performance upgrades all with quick load times between the many, many deaths. But it’s the fast gameplay and action-packed speedrunning where Ghostrunner really comes to life.

It’s an intriguing story that takes you through a 6 to 7-hour playthrough and it’s enjoyable to sit through what the developers have set out to achieve with this story. A voice in your ear – The Architect – pipes up, instructing you what to do and where to go, and bit by bit it’s here where the truth of who you are is revealed. You awaken confused, unable to remember who you are and what your purpose is in this world. The world feels like it’s falling apart so it is up to you – the Ghostrunner – to fix it.
