Do you want to start Ghostwire: Tokyo? But you also want to learn about it's characters and world and lore a little bit before starting the full game? Well, do NOT play Ghostwire: Tokyo - Prelude. Because it won't give you those things.

Yes, this "thing" might be advertised as a jumping in point for Ghostwire: Tokyo but overall, it's incredibly pointless. Let me tell you the playing time I have on my PS5 AFTER finishing it so that you have an idea of what you are in for. 22. MINUTES.

This is a 22 minute visual novel thing where you have very limited choices and you mostly read a wall of text. A wall of text that doesn't make much sense because there is no explanation for anything here. You get minor information about a character called "KK" but that's it. And I'm sure, at least pretty sure, that this information will be given to us in the main game as well.

I did not give it the lowest rating I can give but I still gave it a very low rating because just "WHY?" Why does this exist? It just doesn't make any sense. It's a complete waste of time, very boring as well so just, don't touch it. One final thing, you know how non-important this is? Xbox, who owns the rights to this game now basically, did not release this Prelude on their console. They didn't even bother. So why should you?
