Ghostrunner

yo dudes, i wanna give my honest opinion on a really good game. DISCLAIMER: i orginally played this game on console and was able to complete it on PC much faster, so i have a higher playtime than whats seen (closer to 30-40 hours) first, the good stuff!! the gameplay is smooth and settings are customizable to the T plenty of secrets and lore to find and immerse yourself in a nice TRUCK load of cosmetics to gain from secrets or the extra two modes (kill run and wave) and finally the story is simple but captivating, small team of characters that aren't complicated wide Varity of enemies that prove to challenge your skills and creative problem solving and overall really fun to run through and be a cyber (fake) ninja. now my gripes. they dropped the ball with the cosmetics. there is little extra content and you can finish this entire game (dlc included) in less than 5 hours, 100% the game in roughly 15-20 hours (based off skill level) you have to have FRIENDS WHO OWN THE GAME in order for the leaderboard to work! there is no online leaderboard to compare times, just "you and your friends" yeah thanks, my friends cant get past level one and call me a "super human with god reflexes" and most of all, WASTED POTENTIAL. its an awesome game with BARELY any extra stuff, the dlc is mid (cosmetics, not project HEL) and that's all it is, you pay almost 10 bucks for 2 out of 6 cosmetic packs. and that's all it is. no extra challenges to EARN the cosmetics, you cough up cash to basically get something you'll never see or use again. which is an EXTREME waste. you play and master all of kill run? you get this awesome reward that the game gives you BECAUSE YOU SPENT TIME AND EFFORT TO EARN. wave mode? get to wave 20 and finish it strong to get an EVEN COOLER SET! metal ox? winter pack? Halloween? neon? all of it is paid cosmetics, and that's all she wrote. no extra challenges, no extra content, nothing. so there's NO POINT, its simply just eye candy for a game you may NEVER PLAY AGAIN. simply because THERES NO ONE TO MEET OR COMPARE TOO! yes, given that its single player, it checks out WHY a online leaderboard isnt there, but STILL. it sucks! paying for the soundtrack? digital artbook? those are good uses of money, you get ACTUAL content you can USE and APPRECIATE. project HEL i dont have notes on, its pretty alright, proved a challenge and had new gamplay that was fun. overall to wrap this up, ghost runner is one of MY FAVORITE games of ALL TIME next to timeless classics like dishonored, halo reach, demon souls, borderlands 1 & 2, and more im not listing, HOWEVER its a short game with wasted potential and steals your money to give you a large unhappy meal of a nothing burger. THE ONLY reason im recommending this game IS BECAUSE it helps build patience, forces you to play differently than most FPS games out there, and overall i like the game. BUT DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE BUYING, and for the love of all video game holy, DO NOT BUY ANY DLC COSMETICS. your wasting your money and the survivor set (gained from completing wave mode) is cooler.
