    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 special – a game that needs to be experienced by all at least once, it is one of the finest puzzle games you will ever play.

    Twelve-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.
