More about Ghostrunner
The press gave it 81; the people who bought it give it 91 percent. A 10-point gap in the buyer's favour.
This site sampled 800 of its Steam-purchase reviews; 9 were written by buyers who refunded it, sampled from reviews written May 2025 to October 2026. That is fewer refunded reviewers than 7 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 1,424 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 1,182 have a larger share. Inside the two-hour refund window, 72 percent of the 4,144 reviews written there were positive, against 91 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (cosmetic); the score docks it lightly for that.
7.1 hours to finish it, 15 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.1 times the campaign.

What players say
I did not like it in the end, the idea is cool and there is a lot of fun levels that might take a lot of attempts but dying over and over again is part of the fun after all. Unfortunately there's also far too many points that just take the fun out of it by just being needless frustrating and difficult like that awful train sequence. At this rate I'll get a repetitive strain injury trying to complete this train level.

All of the skill demands of Hotline Miami and Titanfall 2 with none of the satisfaction. Can't believe this turd got a sequel.
Amazingly beautiful, fun and frustrating. And the music is god tier for this type of gameplay! And it runs super smooth. A game that improved my skills in the most absurd way, and also love how you can use builds and different types of pretty swords.
