This is kinda like Mirror's Edge, isn't it?
I remember I downloaded the demo on Switch and tried to check it out with my drifting joy cons but it was impossible to play so I deleted it :/

Yeah, it has similar wall running parkour mechanics in first person.
Just get the game on PS5 if you have that since it's 60fps. The switch version is always going to compromise the game in some way so that it can run. And if you do intend on playing the switch port, i'd highly reccomend using a pro controller rather than joy cons.

I think I even might have the game on PS5, because I remember seeing it listed as a PS+ title… I’ll check it out during the weekend then
P.S. I finally fixed the joy con with replacement hall sensor sticks I got the other day

120fps if you have a compatible screen.

So basically everything that is weak and generic about modern gaming with an obligatory open world ft. unplayable until 2 years after launch???

Level design... dogshit??? Did we play the same game???

Ghostrunner 2 is going to knock it out of the park. I'm guessing there will be two swords this time! I also really want to see where they take the story next now that mara and the architect is defeated.

Cool, an anti-contrarian contrarian appears. Way to spark an interesting discussion.
On topic, this is a cool thread because this game was off my radar until now.

I think we're heading up to the ground. Ghostrunner and Hel felt like going up all the time - I think we'll be going more forward for destinations and in a more bright setting, although I love the dark setting.

No, but it was okay. You should play more than one game tho.

Glad you liked it. I got bored with it halfway through and dropped it. Needed more gameplay variety more interesting levels, the puzzle sections were less of a break than a chore.

If anything they need to keep it's the dark setting. I can't see a sequel working at all if they made the tone lighter.
And yeah they should go down the tower next game to explore the slum areas more.

One of my favorite games of all time, an actual great, is classic Doom, so that can't be it.

Has any other viseo game survived this long while still being popular and without really changing mechanics at all?
Now with PSVR2 support.

It's got a while to go before it can top chess, but I think it'll make it eventually.

I've had this in my backlog for forever, probs not gonna be my GOAT but I appreciate you making a sincere thread about a game you enjoy and elaborating why. I'll download and give it a whirl on the weekend maybe.

Nope.
Which is why Tetris has to be the greatest game of all time.
A rerelease in 2023 is the second highest rated game of 2023(so far).
Whats the last 90+ rated Chess videogame that sold well?

I don't know about KBM I don't play games on PC but probably controller. I can't imagine a KBM working well for a high speed action game like this and isn't required for such a simple control scheme either.

Never heard of it, not for me from what I've seen.
I prefer stuff like Ghostwire.

First person games, for me, KBM are always preferable

To each our own. Ghostwire felt mid and underwhelming imo. The combat needed a lot more depth. The game as a whole felt like a generic open world game just in first person.

Mouse and Keyboard. It's first person, aiming quick and doing quick turns is ideal. OP is just bat shit nuts if this topic wasnt a clear indication.

I agree this take is august 27 1997 hot
Ghostrunner might seem like the greatest game of all time, but only for the dumbest guy of all time.
I admire your chutzpah tho Op!

It might not have been so positive if you hadn't said that, imo. Really takes the wind out of peoples' sails when you frame behavior a certain way

Reverse groomer.
maybe, idk. i didnt want the topic to immediately become negative because the OP wasn't praising some established darling of the gaming community. it's nice to see that he's made many people try the game out though

It’s more of a first person action-puzzle imo, in the same genre as SUPERHOT. On PS5 it’s my go-to 120 FPS demonstration. Definitely a fun a game.

Chess.com had over 10 million concurrent users at one point in January of this year.
It's free, so it hasn't sold any copies, nor is it on Metacritic, but... it's chess. Staying relevant for 2500 years probably earns it an honorary "Must Play"
Not sure about 'greatest' - but I really liked it.
It's like this bizarre mix of Mirror's Edge and Hotline Miami that had no business being this good - but it is.
And in very real terms - it's the actual successor to Mirror's Edge we never got, including stylistically.
The only stain against the game is the platform mechanics really are pretty frustrating at a few points. The game also takes a really long time to actually open-up the level design a bit more(very very late in the narrative), which given the pretty punishing difficulty early on, means a lot of people may never get to see the best it has to offer.

Game is good, and also not incredibly popular which at least shows OP has his own opinions regardless of them being peculiar, so its easy to shrug it off.
Its would be much more seetheable if it were some mainstream game, i will never not roll my eyes when i hear someone saying things like "God of War 18 is the best game evah!"

You know KBM is the best option for high speed action games right? I am saying that as someone who gamed on the PS4 for 6 straight years before switching to PC. Like...literally every single ''high speed action'' E-Sport match is played in KBM.
I was just asking if the game's control is well suited for KBM since some games can feel a bit off with it
