Ghostrunner 2 Launch Hindered by Technical Issues, Affects Gameplay

Game facing glitches on various platforms, extending gameplay time while undermining level design and flow; developer One More Level seeking to address issues with performance and frame-rate drops.

Ghostrunner 2, a direct sequel to the previous game, is marked by a litany of technical issues ranging from frame rate drops to gameplay glitches, affecting the game's flow and extending playtime on multiple platforms.
In the sequel, players reprise their role as Jack, a cyber ninja, who's mission is to defeat an AI cult of metallic ninjas while navigating increasingly challenging and complex platforming sections.
Despite embedding strategic environmental puzzles and some new gameplay elements such as a motorcycle for faster sequences, the game has been criticized for its repetitive levels and its tendency to abandon innovative ideas for previously-used templates.
The game’s narrative, centered on a power struggle in Dharma Tower, the last known bastion of humankind, has been critiqued for poor pacing and lack of explanation of intricate plot details, potentially creating confusion for new players or those unfamiliar with the original game's story.
Reviewers note that performance issues and a plethora of glitches significantly hinder the game's overall experience, and the fluidity of its primary focus - traversal-focused gameplay sequences.
