There's no way using a gun is more difficult or complicated than running on walls and air dodging to get in melee stabby range.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
51 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This isn't what I'd call an easy game, but the developers have done a great job of balancing the difficulty with generous checkpoints, and the gradual difficulty curve means you get a great sense of accomplishment from progressing towards the end of the game.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
48 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Using in world design elements like lighting and signage makes navigating the cyberpunk world of Ghostrunner feel like second nature.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
45 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The story is your regular revenge plot, pretty straight forward, but the gameplay is truly where all the fun is, being elevated by an absolutely amazing synthwave soundtrack that makes each movement and encounter with enemies much more intense and satisfying.
