Ghostrunner is solid, but a bit of a mixed bag near the end. The movement feels good, and a lot of enemies are fun to fight. That's all it really has going for it, since the music, visuals, and story are fairly "generic cyberpunk."

Fortunately most of the game is very fun, with a great sense of flow jumping from enemy to enemy, deflecting bullets and grappling around. It's great. Unfortunately, the last few levels have some pretty obnoxious enemies to deal with. Ninjas that have inconsistent timing to parry, teleporting enemies, shield enemies, duplicating enemies. It gets annoying. It's not enough to drag the game down a ton, but it's worth noting. Hopefully 2 smooths out the experience.
