I wanted to like this game so bad. So many high reviews, a trusted dev, awesome music, and an interesting story - so what could go wrong? I hated the gameplay. It was painful just to even play the game. So I thought I'd try doing it with a guide to reduce the pain and enjoy the story, but it wasn't enough. It's just really not for me, sorry. Essentially, the gameplay is you solve puzzles by possessing objects, and …

I first played Ghost Trick on NDS in 2011, then on iOS a couple of years later. 13 years later, I'm playing it again for a third time. I almost never replay singleplayer games, much less for a third time a decade later. So why am I playing this again? Because I firmly believe Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective, despite its goofy sounding name, is a complete masterpiece, and one of the greatest games ever made. What …

One of the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. Ghost Trick takes the hallmarks of the Ace Attorney series and combines them with an incredibly intuitive, engaging, novel, and just fun puzzle system. To elaborate on the Ace Attorney features - this game has the same incredible charm as that franchise when it comes to memorable and lovable characters, witty and clever writing, and banging music. The gameplay is so simple …

After completing the Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney trilogy (2001 – 2004) for the Nintendo DS, game director and designer Shu Takumi took a break from his signature series and made Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (2010). This title – also originally made for the DS – may not be as renowned as Ace Attorney, but it deserves your attention, especially now that it got a well-deserved HD remaster on the PC. The first aspect …

positive · AI labelView post →55. GHOST TRICK: PHANTOM DETECTIVE (2010 ; Remastered Replay) Just a really excellent delightfully inventive and surprisingly emotionally gripping game. It's EXTREMELY silly but it manages to hold onto a pathos nonetheless. I have my tiny nitpicks with it but it's simply a masterclass all the same.
positive · AI labelView post →Was curious if the ending will make me almost cry again after 10+ years since the first playthrough. It did.

Difficult Achievement(s): No. Intro Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a puzzle game where you play as a ghost doing tricks on inanimate objects. You'll have to find a way to navigate the level, manipulating any objects within the room to prevent someone else's death. Pros: - 17+ unique levels - Multiple ways to fail - Each chapter is short, perfect to be played…

positive · AI labelView post →If anyone would ask me what my favorite Ace Attorney game is, I'd laugh, and show them Ghost Trick instead. (And then whisper Trials and Tribulations under my breath) Ghost Trick is a wonderful and focussed experience with only a few puzzles that are kinda bad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I’m nearly done Ghost Trick and I am obsessed with literally every moving part in this game
positive · AI labelView post →If there is any game I think every game developer who wants to make a game with a solid mystery and great payoff should play, it's Ghost Trick. Because if there is any game where the twists feel satisfying, earned, and well executed, it's Ghost Trick.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →One of the best video game stories of all time honestly, the conclusion of the story and the twists are incredible. It is pretty much a must play for everyone who likes story heavy games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →And speaking of Ghost Trick, god I love replaying things I played when I was way younger and have a much greater appreciation for them…There are so many neat little themes and decisions in the writing of that game that I adore.
positive · AI labelView post →This game made me realize we'll never get another game as entertaining, enjoyable, or funny as Ghost Trick. More game developers need to play and study how this game can be so consistently funny like their lives depend on it

positive · AI labelView post →another Ghost Trick game
neutral · AI labelView post →Ghost Trick is a short-but-sweet puzzle game with the same director as Ace Attorney. Originally made for the DS in 2010, the vibes and catchy music are all still here in this remaster. The story is pretty solid, with mysteries that genuinely had me excited to keep playing and see the plot unravel. The best part is that all your questions will be answered by the end of the story. I wasn't the most keen on the ending but it was still a great experience throughout. I would definitely recommend…
