We Love It's Guide to…

Ghostrunner

In a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk city housed inside Dharma Tower, you play as a blade-wielding cybernetic fighter making your way toward the tower’s ruler. The single-player story unfolds as you climb through the city. Move through first-person levels by running along walls, jumping, dashing, and using a grappling hook. Fight enemies with a katana and special abilities: you and your opponents can both be defeated in a single hit, so each encounter calls for quick reactions and a route through the room. Checkpoints let you retry sections after a death. As you progress, you gain abilities and can arrange passive upgrades in a grid to adapt your setup. Levels also contain collectibles.

Race up a post-apocalyptic tower as a cybernetic swordsman, combining wall-running and dashes with one-hit katana combat.
