It IS really blurry. I kind of like the look, because it's so retro, but it's not good for my eyes at all. Can't play long.. I wish there would be an option to turn the grain off and sharpen the textures.

Turn off Chromatic Aberration and sharpen it a bit in nvidia control panel, thats what I did and thought it looked a bit better after that.

heres how to turn off Chromatic Aberration :

Just go to your save location for the game and then TangoGameworks , GhostWire Tokyo (STEAM) , Saved , Config folder

or follow this path

C:\Users\"username"\Saved Games\TangoGameworks\GhostWire Tokyo (STEAM)\Saved\Config\WindowsNoEditor

and open " Engine.ini " file with notepad and enter this line at the bottom (no need to leave line space before adding the line bellow)

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

[Caleeloo]

I already changed the *.ini but I don't really see an improvement..

Blurry really. This is easily one of the better looking games I have ever seen. There is alot of little detail everywhere, and this is with my little 6700xt at 1440p.

Use the Nvidia Control Panel or ReShade to add sharpening. It helps a ton.

[Caleeloo]

Okay, I sharpened it with nvidia, let geforce experience optimize it AND changed the *.ini file.
Now it looks really good and not blurry anymore! :)
But still don't know which option turned it so blurry. Weird.

For me the game started automatically in 720p, which made it super blurry, after changing it there was a big difference.

Some solution for people with amd? D:
still a bummer there's no option IN game to turn off that awful blurry effect.

Try out some reshader from here:

I don't know, now the blurry effect is gone, but it's not running smooth anymore. Never had any problems like this in any game.

Only looks blurry in cut scenes for me

I added this to Engine.ini and looks totally fine with it.

[SystemSettings]
r.Tonemapper.Sharpen=0.8
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0

[Rizz]

I didn't use the sharpening, but I did use this from Nexus and it looks quite good, placing in the Engine.ini file, of course.

[SystemSettings]
r.SceneColorFringe.Max=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.Tonemapper.GrainQuantization=0
r.Tonemapper.Quality=0

I think with Tonemapper.Sharpen line, any time it rains in the game you will likely get a very fuzzy effect on the screen, especially windows on buildings when they're wet, and the rain itself will probably look awful.

This game isn't really trying to be anything impressive graphically to begin with, so we can only do so much, this is why the game is only a 16.8GB install rather than 50GB+

It is the post process Anti Aliasing, which I assume is using TAA, one of the blurriest AA. Using DLSS turns it off and uses that to blur the game instead, but at least it's better than TAA. PPAA is way more noticeable when moving. Find a street sign with some text on it, stop and move. Image blurs even more when moving.

You can also just completely turn it off and make the game look 5x better by adding this into Scability.ini

[PostProcessQuality@3]
r.MotionBlurQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
r.PostProcessAAQuality=0

It doesn't break Reflections and lighting like most other games when forcing PPAA off either. Even if you don't like it for whatever reason, turning on DLSS still works.
