    Ghost Song is a decent Metroidvania that avoids feeling derivative thanks to some great world-building and engaging risk Vs reward combat systems. While its Soulslike elements can make the game feel punishing for the sake of it at times, this is somewhat alleviated by the explorer mode that makes it play more like a challenging but traditional Metroidvania.

    Ghost Song isn't a bad experience, but one that shows glimmers of excellence without fully realizing it. With so many metroidvania titles on the market today and with more polished experiences, it's hard to recommend Ghost Song.

    Ghost Song does some things quite well but as a complete package, it remains a tedious and patience-testing experience. With so many Metroidvanias out there, it's probably a good idea to look elsewhere for some exploration-based action.

    This game is fantastic. I don't know what arkane7 is smoking but maybe he shouldn't review games because he doesn't know what he's talkingThis game is fantastic. I don't know what arkane7 is smoking but maybe he shouldn't review games because he doesn't know what he's talking about. Ghost Song is a good game with an awesome atmosphere accompanied by a stellar soundtrack, great graphics and an intriguing story. The enemies are well designed and varied. It's a great title to add to your metroidvania collection.… Full Review »

All the characters were easy to connect to and made me want to find out more about the world and what happened to them.
    Also, the art style is stunning! Whoever put all the time and effort into every little detail must be one of the most talented people I've ever seen.
    AND THE MUSIC. I love to listen to it even when I'm not playing. Then I found out there's a lo-fi remix available?!? This has gotta be one of the best games I've ever experienced, if not the best metroidvanias.    … Full Review »

Unfortunately, very low production values and poor writing let the game down. The main character as well isn't great to play. They could have done so much better with this title. The visuals are decent and so is the sound but this might be one for the bargain bin.… Full Review »
