How Ghostwire: Tokyo Teaches Real Japanese Culture & History
Ghostwire: Tokyo is a spiritual adventure filled with action, adventure, and a surprising level of detail that teaches about real-life Japanese culture and history. The game is incredibly detailed, so much so that it almost feels like a class on Japan, and its stunning environments only help that. As players explore a Tokyo devoid of human life and haunted by malicious Visitors, they may find themselves ignoring the story and just taking in everything that Ghostwire: Tokyo has to teach them about the country.

Visitors, born from their negative emotions, have taken over the city. In order to vanquish them and save his family, one survivor, named Akito, must defeat Hannya and close the gates between the physical and spiritual worlds. Ghostwire: Tokyo breaks from other FPS games' combat with a myriad of elemental powers and mystical artifacts. Even without it, however, it still feels stunning.
