Jul 5, 2023Twelve-years is a very long time but Ghost Trick’s return to relevancy is a very welcome one indeed. The premise is as deliciously absurd as it is effective at drawing you into the game’s puzzle-heavy gameplay, the artstyle is immaculate and indubitably expressionistic, and although it’s rather short, it leaves a thunderous impact. Ghost Trick may no longer be ghosted by merely existing on a Nintendo handheld – now you can rejoice in playing it for yourselves and bask in the remastered experience of a well-loved and superbly-made classic.

Jun 27, 2023If you have never played it before, this new version of Ghost Trick: Detective Ghost is the perfect opportunity to discover a must-have from the catalog of Capcom and Shu Takumi (Ace Attorney). Satisfying gameplay, a gallery of eccentric characters, comical situations and a well-stocked plot make this detective adventure a treat during its ten hours of play. If you're looking for a game to take on vacation this summer, go for it.

Jun 27, 2023Ghost Trick is a brilliant adventure that will appeal to fans of narrative-driven games like Ace Attorney. Its replay value is low, and fans who enjoyed the game on DS or mobile will find very little new here, but those coming to the game fresh will love what's here.

Jun 27, 2023If you like original, humorous and innovative games, Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective will make you enjoy its story and puzzles, in which you will have to use your ghost skills to change the fate. However, the game has some negative points, such as its low graphic resolution, which does not adapt well to modern screens, its short duration and its linearity. These aspects may detract interest from some players. Despite this, it is a game worth trying if you are attracted to the genre.

Jun 27, 2023With this remaster, Capcom is giving us the chance to discover or rediscover one of Shu Takumi's works in the best possible conditions. The modernised gameplay, reworked animations, rearranged music and integration of Ghost Puzzles do the licence proud. There are, however, a few shortcomings inherent to the original work and its medium. The lack of a Save option and the length of some of the dialogues slightly tarnish the experience, but that is trivial compared to the pleasure we had in thwarting fate.
