Ghostwire: Tokyo’s Captivating World Is Overshadowed By Weak Combat
31.3.2022
Ghostwire: Tokyo, Tango Gameworks’ new action-adventure game with immersive sim-like elements, is a frustrating juxtaposition of highs and lows. It’s at once a compelling narrative about loss and the lengths we go to recover that which is gone, and a plodding first-person shooter with seriously...
