Ghostwire: Tokyo

Shrines, Ghosts and Tanuki Oh My!

by

It’s been awhile since I last visited Ghostwire Tokyo. Tonight I cleansed a shrine, prayed at another, found a tanuki and completed a couple of quests.

Next time I play I’ll have to do away with the spirit of an asshole hoarder (A hoarder that’s an asshole, not someone that’s literally hoarding assholes… that would be even more fucked up).  To add to the immersion, I’ve also been drinking all kinds of green tea this evening. Started with a cherry blossom sencha when I got home, and now I’m having some matcha milk tea before bed. 🙂 Maybe I’ll have haunted dreams about drinking tea with ghosts.

Checking Out Ghostwire: Tokyo!

by

It’s Day Two of my Three day weekend, and I’ve been keeping it Unreal! I’ve had my eye on Ghostwire Tokyo for awhile now, and thanks to a recent sale I finally decided to pick it up! It runs really well at 4K, has stunning visuals, the Japanese voice acting is superb and so far the combat and stealth have been pretty easy to pickup on.

Step into the shoes of Akiro: Who has recently ceased to be due to a vehicle crash. You’re only alive because of a soul that tried to possess you, and the two of you team up together for a crazy night out on the town.

Your original goal was to visit your sister Mari in the hospital, and thanks to your new soul mate you do actually achieve that goal, kinda…

I’m currently on Chapter 2! Just unlocked access to a bunch of sidequests before saving to take a break. That’s another thing I like about this game; I can save at any point I want instead of relying entirely on checkpoints. My only complaint is the lack of a quickload/quicksave function, but everything else in the game makes up for that one shortcoming. Oh, and there’s Photo Mode! If a game has Photo Mode that’s already a win-win.
