This game is built around dying repeatedly in quick succession and has charge based abiities that don't recharge on respawn, meaning that you only get to use your abilities once every couple dozen attempts. That really should tell you everything you need to know about the level of polish in the game design. It's supposed to be a flow state kind of game but the flow is really bad.

About the Game
Ghostrunner is a hardcore FPP slasher packed with lightning-fast action, set in a grim, cyberpunk megastructure. Climb Dharma Tower, humanity’s last shelter, after a world-ending cataclysm. Make your way up from the bottom to the top, confront the tyrannical Keymaster, and take your revenge.
The streets of this tower city are full of violence. Mara the Keymaster rules with an iron fist and little regard for human life.
As resources diminish, the strong prey on the weak and chaos threatens to consume what little order remains. The decisive last stand is coming. A final attempt to set things right before mankind goes over the edge of extinction.
As the most advanced blade fighter ever created, you’re always outnumbered but never outclassed. Slice your enemies with a monomolecular katana, dodge bullets with your superhuman reflexes, and employ a variety of specialized techniques to
prevail.
One-hit one-kill mechanics make combat fast and intense. Use your superior mobility (and frequent checkpoints!) to engage in a never-ending dance with death fearlessly.
Ghostrunner offers a unique single-player experience: fast-paced, violent combat, and an original setting that blends science fiction with post-apocalyptic themes. It tells the story of a world that has already ended and its inhabitants who fight to survive.

You better like doing the same thing over and over and over again. One hit kills and quick restarts are integral parts of the game, so sometimes you'll do the same 20 seconds of gameplay ten times back to back until you get it right. I'm sure for some its satisfying, but I find it incredibly grating.
