"From start to finish, it offers hardly a moment of reprieve from its fast-paced parkour and swordplay. That can be a lot to handle, and it's certainly not my preferred mode in most games, but the total focus that it demands becomes so absorbing it's hard not to find some appeal in it. Getting into the flow of Ghostrunner 2 means letting everything else slip out of mind so you can better concentrate on what's in front of you."
"Getting around those environments takes a combination of acrobatics and aggression, as along with their inanimate obstacles, they're also packed with enemies. One of your most important skills is a grappling hook, which lets you leap from one platform to the next, jump to dodge projectiles fired at you, and close distance on your foes to counterattack. More basic abilities lets you dash, slide, and wall-run across every inch of the game's levels,"
The game delivers relentless, high-speed cyberpunk action focused on parkour and sword combat across neon-soaked, trap-filled levels. Players traverse decaying cityscapes with skyscrapers, teetering walkways, trains, and laser beams while chaining dashes, slides, wall-runs, and a grappling hook to navigate and engage enemies. Combat emphasizes aggression and precision: nearly all enemies and the player die in one hit, with bosses as exceptions. The gameplay demands intense concentration and flow, rewarding rhythmic movement and split-second responses. The 2023 title Ghostrunner 2 was available free on the Epic Games Store for one week beginning September 11.
