GhostWire: Tokyo

Ghostwire: Tokyo may be the best game yet from developer Tango Gameworks. It's a great and meaty action/adventure game featuring an enticing universe, solid combat, and excellent exploration of the wonderfully designed Tokyo.

Ghostwire: Tokyo is memorable and eerily elegant but lacks depth. The open world is worth exploring to experience the incredible detail and the alluring additions to Shibuya brought by the fog, but it doesn’t do more than games before it has. The combat is visually stunning, and the graphics might do a lot of the carrying that should be done by the depth of combat systems, which there simply isn’t.

It is fresh, exciting, and a demonstration of what a major studio is capable of when they’re given the freedom to tackle a new universe without compromise. It isn’t perfect, but it’s so different, and that should be more than enough for people to take notice.
