Annoyingly, I still can’t wallrun in real life - and it sure ain’t for lack of trying. Thankfully,Ghostrunneris swinging in with some real good vertical sprinting. Arriving on October 27th, One More Level’s dystopian dash n' slasher is cutting heads and sliding down stylish cyberpunk buildings without so much as scuffing its knees.Swooping in last year,Ghostrunnerasks - and immediately answers - one very simple question: what ifMirror’s Edgehad swords, though?Watch on YouTubePresenting you with a massive, grimy, neon-tinted urban sprawl, Ghostrunner is a parkour playground.
