One Hit, One KillĬomparable to Hotline Miami and Katana ZERO, combat must also be handled with equal parts precision and caution, as the enemies and the player character, Jack, can both be killed in just one hit. One of the more interesting environments in Ghostrunner. Upgrades such as throwing stars to knock out generators and open doorways, or a jump boost that will allow Jack (your character) to reach greater heights. Not to mention, you’ll find tokens, known as uplinks, in some levels that grant temporary upgrades.

Gradually you’re introduced to more mechanics to move through levels. The challenge is also counterweighted by some very generous checkpoints and fast load times. This can be frustrating, but extremely satisfying when you eventually succeed.

But, the platforming in Ghostrunner can be highly challenging and sometimes you will find yourself caught in a loop of trial and error. This lends itself well to speedrunning and time trials. Ghostrunner takes the same approach as the original Mirror’s Edge, using linear stages as a means to progress rather than an open-world format. With a host of parkour abilities you slide, wall run, grapple hook, dash, and zip-line your way through these well-designed stages until you reach the top.

The setting itself is similar to something from Blade Runner or perhaps more aptly, a Mega-City from Judge Dredd. Your goal is to climb Dharma Tower, humanity’s last shelter as it is named. More importantly, they are very well designed for platforming. Although it can be often dull to look at, there are certainly some interesting environments. The setting for Ghostrunner is a suitably grim, dark, dystopian, cyberpunk near-future and that plays an important role in its level design. If ever there were a game that can make you feel like a cyborg ninja, then this is it. Ghostrunner will have you running fast and dying even faster. With Mirror’s Edge all but dead and buried, there is a gap in the market for parkour focused, action platformers with a focus on linear levels rather than an open world.
