    Absolutely, hands down one of the best mystery solving puzzle games out there. This HD remaster wasn't something I expected to show up on PC, but it was something that I was extremely excited for. An underrated gem such as this is definitely worth trying

    I enjoyed this game on the Nintendo DS back then, and enjoyed it even more now. Updated visuals and an orchestrated soundtrack (with an option to switch to the original), An art gallery that unlocks as you progress through the game, and a good story with likeable characters. It is well worth it!

    Only cons I would say are having no physical release outside of Japan, and not having an optional 16:9 mode like the Onimusha remaster. But I think it was kept in 4:3 only for narrative reasons. Also the framerate is inconsistant with no way to change it on the Switch version.    … Expand

    Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is an incredible title, being a good mix of different elements that together result in a very fun game. It's fantastic to see Capcom bringing back a forgotten gem from its past. It would be great to see this happen more often, as the company has a number of cult games that deserve the same attention this re-release has received.

    This remaster is a must-play for both fans of the original and newcomers alike. The enhanced graphics and arranged soundtrack beautifully showcase the original game's charm. The gameplay mechanics and puzzles remain as captivating as ever and the story, filled with intriguing twists and turns, keeps you engaged from start to finish. Ghost Peak

    t's been over a decade since Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective came out, and the game remains as charming and delightful as the day it was released. The HD remake does a fantastic job of updating the title for modern displays without losing the style that made it so engrossing in the first place. When the biggest flaw is that I wish there was more of it, that says a lot about its quality. It's weird, it's silly, and it has the best darn Pomeranian in video games. If you like the Ace Attorney games or colorful puzzle titles, you owe it to yourself to give Ghost Trick a try. Now if we could just get a sequel ....

    Though some players might be turned off by its one-and-done nature, I would prefer to describe Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective as "singular". It's an experience that, once cleared, feels complete from any angle, with nothing needing to be added or cut to be unforgettable.
