You play as a young man who has mysteriously survived the “vanishing” of the rest of Tokyo’s inhabitants and finds himself partnering with a paranormal entity. That’s not to say elements of horror are absolutely missing from Ghostwire, but the title is more focused on the action of its combat than jump scares. Maybe when I get my hands on the Mongol hordes, all of that will change.Roaming a Tokyo filled with nothing but monsters from Japanese horror stories and the empty clothes of citizens who have been ghosted out of existence might sound like a terrifying prospect, but Ghostwire: Tokyo makes it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.
But there's very little that feels truly new here. And I don't miss how bloated Age of Empires 3 seems in comparison, as it tried to cram in way too many ideas at once. I definitely smiled as I pulled off an ambush using high ground or defended the Great Wall of China with fire and steel. The graphics are definitely nice, but they're not going to drop any jaws in this day and age – especially the unit models, which are just plainly underwhelming.įrom what I've seen so far, how you feel about Age of Empires 4 is going to depend heavily on how interested you are in a very polished, faithful re-imagining of a 22-year-old RTS.
I found myself wishing that maybe they would have at least made the base military unit a squad of a few fighters rather than an individual, to give the illusion of greater grandeur. This scale felt epic and compelling when I was a kid playing on a Pentium, but after decades of Total War, these battles often feel more like skirmishes. Units are trained one at a time, with the exception of one late-game building for the HRE that can build five. You're still limited to 200 population, split as you like between civilians and soldiers. When these units meet on the battlefield, it's time to party like it's 1999.
