I started Ghostwire and I like every second of it. The only thing kind of so so is the combat, but then I do like the stealth. Its pretty cool to ascend on top of a building, and then chain killing a group of enemies on the ground.
The open world is relatively small and fast to traverse, the amount of sidequests are just about enough and they are quite fun. The game is unique, and has a great art direction. Tango ftw.

Just started and I‘m already confused about the junction system. Tried to google some explanations but everytime I try to continue the game I feel even dumber than before.
I don‘t remember when I hit the age in which my attention span for game mechanics got worse than a 5 year olds. I‘m 35 and I don‘t understand a PS1 game, like wtf?
Such a great game. Probably my number 2 FF after XII.
Junction isn't that hard. GF have certain stat abilities, and unlock more while you level them. While you can also find scrolls that instantly unlock something. You can choose what stat your GF has to level and unlock first.
If your character equips this GF, you'll see this stat being white and you can alter it. What you then can do is add your magic to it to increase your stat. If you cast this magic however, you will ofcourse lose a spell and thus your stat will go down. You typically want not to use the magic you junction. Some magic works best in certain slots, like Cure in HP junction, Double/Triple in Speed etc.
Its not really a problem for me, once you can create magic from item drops you can easily create 100's and cast the spares that aren't junctioned (they have no symbol next to them), while drawing isn't that bad either. With higher Spirit you can draw like 12 every turn.
PS1 games weren't always easy to grasp, though the tutorials do explain everything and can be reread.
