Ghostrunner 2 is a first-person action game from the Polish studio One More Level, published by 505 Games and released on 26 October 2023 for PS5, Windows and Xbox Series X|S. It is set in and around Dharma Tower, which has fallen into factional chaos, and the apocalyptic “Outside” beyond it. Metacritic lists 81 on PC and 80 on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (per Wikipedia).
Movement is built on dashing, jumping, wall-running, sliding and a grappling hook. The sword is the main weapon, and both Jack and most enemies die in one hit. A stamina meter limits how often you can dash and deflect. Sensory Boost briefly slows time for air strafing, and special abilities such as Shuriken help in combat and puzzles. A motorcycle is used in certain levels for combat and obstacle avoidance and cannot be upgraded. Levels are more non-linear than in the first game, so you can plan your own routes (Wikipedia).
In the story, the Asura, the first Ghostrunners, are the main threat: Rahu leads an Architect-worshipping cult from within the Cybervoid, Madhu creates biomechanical “Scions”, and Mitra, the deactivated leader, is revived to destroy Dharma. Ahriman, leader of the Hammers faction, is defeated early on.
