The "Fear the Children" quest-line added to the main campaign of Ghostwire Tokyo is phenomenal. It might just be the best side quest chain in the game, and it also allowed Tango to flex some of their horror-genre roots. The photograph missions added are much more forgettable.

The Spider's Thread Roguelike mode is interesting from what bit I have played, but after 40+ hours with the main game, I need a break from Ghostwire. Perhaps I will return to Spider's Thread in the future.

The Roguelike was cool, but it resets your skill tree progress from main game. I understand why since this is a totally separate experience, but I found the basic moveset (right after having the full moveset) too painful to grind back up.

@Snigglegros Yes! I found this to be, not quite aggravating, but jarring for sure. After a pretty long run time for the main game (having pursued the platinum), I just wasn't ready to dedicate myself to that unanticipated grind. It seemed soundly built, so it might be worth going back to after I have had some distance from the main game
