But, the platforming in Ghostrunner can be highly challenging and sometimes you will find yourself caught in a loop of trial and error. This lends itself well to speedrunning and time trials. Ghostrunner takes the same approach as the original Mirror’s Edge, using linear stages as a means to progress rather than an open-world format. With a host of parkour abilities you slide, wall run, grapple hook, dash, and zip-line your way through these well-designed stages until you reach the top. The setting itself is similar to something from Blade Runner or perhaps more aptly, a Mega-City from Judge Dredd. Your goal is to climb Dharma Tower, humanity’s last shelter as it is named. More importantly, they are very well designed for platforming. Although it can be often dull to look at, there are certainly some interesting environments.

If ever there were a game that can make you feel like a cyborg ninja, then this is it. Ghostrunner will have you running fast and dying even faster. With Mirror’s Edge all but dead and buried, there is a gap in the market for parkour focused, action platformers with a focus on linear levels rather than an open world.
