First introduced during the past Gamescom 2019, Ghostrunner It went on to become one of the games I most wanted from among all those little novelties that would come in 2020.
Now, with a demo already available in Steam, Ghostrunner It has proven to be that curious jewel that already pointed ways with its parkour mix of Mirror's Edge and the puzzles transformed into bloody murders of Miami Hotline.

In your ad I also remembered Titanfall And, for obvious reasons, you're going to allow me to start there a bit. With a fairly linear path, the idea of the game is to go interspersing sections of platform with areas riddled with enemies.
There it will be difficult to live up to the magnificent campaign of Titanfall 2 and its stunning level design, but for lack of something better, I will not be the one who makes you disgust what is proposed by Ghostrunner.
At our disposal running, jumping, sliding to gain speed, a hook to hold onto structures and the inevitable wallrun of this type of mobility. As a dessert, an acceleration that can also be used to slow down time and make a brief strafe.
Controlling himself a thousand wonders, the only possible downside to the demo of Ghostrunner is not to add anything special to a mix that we have already seen in many games. A complaint that falls apart like a sandcastle if we consider that it only shows an initial portion of the game as a tutorial. The show will come -or not- when you land in PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

When you get to combat, a single option, attack with your sword to stop projectiles or dismember enemies while using all of the aforementioned to go from here to there.
Maybe the lack of combat options is its weakest link for now, something that I wouldn't worry too much about considering that in its latest trailer some more details are already shown such as the possibility of return projectiles with the sword.
When things like that come along and enemies do more than just stand there shooting with withering precision, the game will win multiple integers in terms of strategy when facing each combat section.
But even without all that assured, I would sign right now to be able to invest several hours in a simple evolution of what has already been seen in your demo. If you want to try Ghostrunner you have by yourself until May 13 to give your brief demo a touch.
