CFD!'s Hayley Winter reviews Capcom's DS adventure release from the man behind the Ace Attorney series:
"Being dead should be easy: just lay back and enjoy an eternal rest. But that’s not the case for Sissel. Upon awakening in a junkyard, he discovers his first problem–he has amnesia. With barely enough time to mull that one over, he realizes that he’s been murdered. Not only does he need to figure out his identity, but also who killed him and why. If this isn’t stressful enough, in his first few minutes as a ghost he discovers he’ll cease to exist in the morning. No pressure, right?"
Ghost Trick is by far one of Capcom’s most unique and clever games, and it's now finally widely available after spending nearly a decade and a half as a portable exclusive.
I think I'm going to have to dust off the ole Switch to try this game. One of those games that everyone seems to like and isn't the normal game I tend to stay away from on Nintendo.
"Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is a perfect resurrection of a mystery-puzzler that knows when to play the fool and when to play on the feels."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
WTMG's Oliver Shellding: "Ghost Trick is a game unlike anything else, and it simply continues to delight and enrapture, years later, far removed from the console where it started. If I could, I would develop my own 4K, dual screen handheld to cram this game onto, but I have no money and no talent, so here I am. Instead, I am imploring fans from all walks – the visual novel crowd, the detective crew, the Pomeranian fanatics – to come and take this ride. It’s charming, it’s complex, it’s lovingly crafted and it honestly surprises me that Capcom gave so much care to a game that seemed to slip under so many radars. It’s only till the sun rises, though, so make haste to take your time. You may only have one chance to find out the truth."
Sad that I haven't had a chance to play this yet, but I'm glad to hear it's good.
it's VERY GOOD! I am not very much in this type of games, but this one is really addictive
