Ghostwire: Tokyo, A Lowkey 2022 Gem, Is Free For Amazon Prime Subscribers Right Now

Incredibly appropriate for the season.

If you missed out on last year’s Ghostwire: Tokyo , and have considered trying it out, now’s the best time because you can pick it up for the price of free.

When Ghostwire: Tokyo was first announced, I was quickly excited for it, as The Evil Within 2 (at least the first half) is a damn good horror game. What was even more exciting was the fact that Bayonetta character designer and all round icon Ikumi Nakamura was attached to the project. I became less convinced when I saw that it was a first-person action game with light horror elements as opposed to the moody, atmospheric horror game I thought it was going to be. But then, I actually played it, and you know what? There’s a damn good game to be found there.

Sure, it’s not the most revolutionary thing in the world, but the combat is honestly very smooth, even if it could do with ever so slightly more variation. The game’s main story isn’t anything to write home about either, but the side quests certainly are. It being about ghosts, there are plenty of side quests about classic Japanese folk tales about things like tanuki, kappa, demons, and yokai. Some of them even had some genuinely touching moments, and could often be slower paced than the main game, so it’s worth checking out for those alone.
