Ghostrunner 2 vs Ghostrunner 1 - 15 BIGGEST Differences You Need To Know

Adding on to all the big releases this month is 505 Games' Ghostrunner 2, which is coming soon to Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. It's a follow-up to the 2020 hack-and-slash action and adventure, with Jack embarking on a new adventure outside the tower.
While the sequel is vaster than the original in scale, several new mechanics and features are available to freshen things up. New abilities, new block and Perfect-Parry moves, a bike with separate levels (some hyped as "open world"), new enemies and much more await players.
There's even an HQ and dialogue system for interacting with different characters, not to mention Community Challenges. Check out 15 differences between Ghostrunner 1 and 2 before the sequel's release on October 26th.

Ghostrunner 1 was absolute God Tier.

[@Vetrical]

Not most, all of ghostrunner 1 was inside the tower. Ghostrunner 1 also had multiple routes for every arena. Focus was the "resource" spent on using abilities, not the time slow ability (thats called sensory boost). 8:21 they really ran out of ideas LMAO

The background gameplay is painful to watch

[@Fryzzi]

I've read this before watching the Video, I thought: „ah, it can't be that bad tho" well, I was wrong... OMEGALOL

[@chrisrynn1]

Right?! WTF 😆

[@mattmilliken1510]

I am also consistently shocked with the amount of mispronounced names. I can understand when the person reading the script wasn't the one who (maybe) played the game and getting things like monsters in mhw wrong, how the hell do you look at the name "Zoe" and say "zoh" with a straight face

[@TevyaSmolka]

I can hardly wait

[@Mixedbeats18]

Hope you cover the controls at any point

[@malikon6953]

why did they change jump button from RB to A? I can't get used to that. Too used to keeping thumbs on the sticks so i can look when I jump. Dying Light and Ghostrunner use RB as Jump and it's perfect. Ghostrunner 2 moved jumped to A and it's ridiculous.

[@rileychan666]

As an avid fan of the first Dying Light, I thought I should mention that it's RB not LB to jump. I do agree the change from a bumper to A for Ghostrunner 2 as default is weird though.

[@malikon6953]

@@rileychan666 Right, typo. Not sure why I typed LB. Also a huge Dying Light fan. Played it on PS, PC, and even Switch. Now I have it on the Steam Deck. Such a fantastic game.

We have a block now that’s why

Aint nobody even up. I have the 1st game but Ps5 😅 doesnt even work 😒 anymore

[@sultanalzahrani3402]

Great video. The gameplay could've been better but it's not the main attraction of the video so it's not a big deal.

[@scyrra9908]

I played like five minutes of the demo and to me it felt way worse than the original. Like the controls were designed to be as uncomfortable as they could get it

[@Dylan-0808]

you can change the controls 😂

[@armaanali4585]

@@Dylan-0808when I played the demo there was nothing similar to Ghostrunner 1 or custom. All i wanted was L1 for dash, R1 for jump and R2 for attack but no option for that

[@androogalt]

Ghostrunner 1 is optimized so much better

[@droljanz]

When i played demo it was confusing , but when i played full game it is different it stars simple and it gives u mechanic and new enemies one at the time for you to settle down on it , when you come to demo lvl its like 5th or 6th lvl it all becomes intuitive because game gives you time to settle on its mechanics , now looking its defenetly step up form first game in every aspect , im not big fan of bike tho and i am not fan of thise wheel enemies

sucks to suck ig

[@CalvinKlein2023]

It's HARD! I need to take a breaK!! the one hit dead system is absurd, no room for mistake! specially in BIG BOSS! which makes this game much RAGE INDUCING than souls games! hahaha! Hope they add a more casual mode who wants to enjoy the game, just crusing around fast but have room for mistakes! at least 3hit per level is good enough!! The game is very good, fast paced and stable on PC versions! for adrenaline junkys or souls gamer there who loves a challenge will love this game!

@@capetamenino i have done a deathless playthrough, dont worry. But if you wish for there to be an advantage for the player when the whole point of the combat is though but fair there is some skill issue involved, especially when you call it absurd

[@legendboyAni]

​@@capetameninobro that is why there are so much checkpoint, i died more then 200 time in a single challange but it still doesn't bother me, asking for casual mode in this is like asking for easy mode in Getting Over It.
