GHOSTWIRE: TOKYO

Horror isn’t my thing. A game about ghosts isn’t especially appealing to me—let alone one with headless spirit children. However, a hands-off demo of Ghostwire: Tokyo changed my mind. It’s more like a Japanese ghost-hunting Watch Dogs 2 than a city wide PT, and it looks brilliant.

Though developer Tango Gameworks made the dark and scary series, isn’t trying to terrify you in the same way. This early look set my mind at relative ease. I’m not sure that’s entirely a good thing for those who might be searching for a disturbing horror experience, but for me a neondrenched action game with a ghostly garnish is far more exciting.
