The first Ghostrunner game was a pleasant surprise for many, bringing a brand of high-octane parkour action that is hard to beat, especially set against the dystopian cyberpunk aesthetic that just leaves players wanting more.
Naturally, that makes the sequel something to look forward to, and although Ghostrunner 2 continues to shine where it matters the most, some of the risks One More Level has taken have not exactly paid off, resulting in a fast-moving adventure that grinds to a halt at various junctures.
""Ghostrunner 2" the first-person cyberpunk-action thriller by leading video game publisher 505 Games and developer One More Level are today very happy and excited to announce that they have just released the "Dragon Pack" expansion for "Ghostrunner 2". - One More Level and 505 Games.
VGChartz's Paul Broussard: "A relatively quiet year on the surface for action titles gave room for some smaller titles to shine on the big stage, demonstrating that lesser-known AAA series and even indie titles can dazzle when given the chance. Amongst the crowd, however, four stood out.
Double Dragon Gaiden: Rise of the Dragons brought old school 2D brawling back into the limelight, with it holding up just as well as it did in 1987. Also coming out of retirement was Armored Core, with its sixth installment demonstrating to the public that From Software hasn’t lost its edge with mech combat during all those years working on Souls games. Ghostrunner 2 recaptured the platforming/sword swinging magic of the first title, while polishing some of the rougher edges and introducing a few welcome mechanics. Finally, Hi-Fi RUSH infused a musical rhythm into traditional action gameplay, with a colorful cast of characters and memorable soundtrack backing up solid combat mechanics."
CCG writes - "Ghostrunner 2 is dramatically improved compared to the original. I found the new areas, abilities, and traversal options refreshing, and they keep the game engaging throughout the story. Even though the story is similar to the first one, plot twists and new antagonists will keep you connected without getting bored. I have not played the first entry for about 2 years and still found the controls relatively easy to pick up. "
