the most razor sharp writing you will ever find in a game. puzzles are really interesting and the mechanics are solid but fuck video games this writing is god damn crystalline perfection.

this game is still massively overrated by its fans, but that's not a bad thing. someone's gotta be this game's cheerleader, because capcom certainly wasn't. aside from some dangling plot threads that never get resolved, this is a very solid game worth playing.

Sometimes I think about how much I enjoyed this game and how much the plot blew me away in 8th grade and think about how I will probably never enjoy a game as much as this one. No one else was talking about this game on release, I only picked it up because I was a nerd and knew who Shu Takumi was and had some leftover Christmas money. One of the best impulse purchases I've made.

if i was a ghost i would keep ringing the doorbell because i am a pranker

When I die this is the way I wanna go out


one of the most underrated games in history

Missile is a good boy. Please buy his game and enjoy one of Shu Takumi's greatest achievements.

one of the best ds puzzle games ive played. this game is absolutely worth your time for the story. It has style and charm oozing from every character with a great artstyle. I love going back to this from time to time again and experiencing the absolute nostalgia i felt when i first played it. It doesn't even need a sequel because the ending was THAT good

stunning perfect game. there's a lot of "cops are good" stuff that's hard in modern times, but there's also a whole dialogue about cops being irresponsible idiots who caused most of the games problem's so Good On Them

i don't want to replay it in case i don't like it as much the second time

A brilliantly-paced mystery game with exceptionally solid writing and remarkable swerves. Vibrant faces, fluid animation, engaging mechanics and plenty of narrative hooks — nothing short of a delight on all fronts.

so tightly knit, so impactful, so-phisticated

play ghost trick

Pretty fun point and click adventure on the DS. The art and music is groovy, the main mechanic is pretty neat & unique and the story is fun the play through.

Sadly never completed it as my DS died - which now I think about it, is quite ironic.

To this day, still haven't found a game with as stellar pacing and as compelling a plot as Ghost Trick. The game has an intriguing premise from the get-go, but after a certain point in the game that I won't spoil, things ramp up like crazy and you WON'T want to put the game down. Its not just the story either, the puzzles are fun to solve and take advantage of the DS touchscreen. They even introduce new mechanics to spice things up as the game goes on. But ultimately, the story is top-notch and the resolution had me on edge all throughout.

This is Shu Takumi's masterpiece, hands down.

Being a fan of Shu Takumi's work in the Ace Attorney series, I was very excited for this title when it was initially released. Clever writing, inventive gameplay, and a cast that you'll absolutely fall in love with all the way through the end leaves you with an unforgettable experience.

Very sweet and endlessly endearing.

posiblemente uno de los mejores "juegos desconocidos" de la historia. la combinación narrativa-jugabilidad aprovechan una historia de misterio interesantísima con una lógica MUY entretenida. cada tanto, lo vuelvo a jugar de lo bueno que es y como se sostiene en el tiempo. desarrolladores, es por acá!

Found myself enjoying this a lot less than I hoped I would. Like Shu Takumi's other games, it makes great use of reincorporation and has a really satisfying ending. That being said, I didn't really find the mystery as interesting as the ones in the Ace Attorney games, probably due to how much less grounded the world is. I was also disappointed by the puzzles, which are great conceptually, but I didn't feel satisfied by the solutions to pretty much any of them. The game is worth playing alone though for the fantastic character animations- it has some of the most expressive 3D models I've ever seen, which is unfathomably impressive considering the fact that it's on the DS.

I made my friends late for the Safe House screening because I made a last minute decision to buy this game. What a good idea that was in hindsight.

this blew my lil brain the fuck away

Absolutely great game with a heartfelt story and twists I didn't see coming.

Absolutely recommend it to anyone who loves puzzle games.

Just thinking about Ghost Trick makes me want to replay it. I love this game so much.

Shu Takumi's actual magnum opus. Ghost Trick is one of my absolute favorite games of all time, and it is absolutely worth tracking down and playing. The music and art style are fantastic, and literally every character in the game is memorable in some way. Even the most minor characters either have a fun design or an interesting part in a puzzle or, at the very least, one really good line. The major characters are, of course, wonderful as well, with Missile being the best of them all.

The plot is fantastic, and following all the twists and turns is a wild ride that you don't really want to get off. The puzzles are extremely fun, too, as you Rube Goldberg your way through the game to save people. I think my one single criticism is that Chapter 9 is an escort mission and therefore very frustrating and bad, but it's not even as bad as it could be.

Anyway, play Ghost Trick. You will be glad you did.


GT é do mesmo criador de Ace Attorney e trouxe pra esse título uma excelente roteiro, com premissa inusitada e gameplay pautado em quebra-cabeças criativos que manipulam o fluxo de eventos.

Destaque também para os personagens criativos e cativantes. Diálogos divertidos e boas surpresas com o desenrolar da trama.

de esos juegos que te gustaria volver a jugar sin saber nada

Um puzzle game criativo e divertido, mas o destaque mesmo é a excelente escrita. Quem diria que os personagens bizarros e histórias excêntricas de Shu Takumi (famoso pela série Phoenix Wright) se encaixariam perfeitamente num enredo mais sobrenatural? É bem interessante jogar esse game de novo ciente do final porque algumas coisas ganham completamente outro sentido - principalmente a caracterização do Sissel. Várias vezes me peguei pensando, "ah, sim, o Sissel é __________, faz perfeito sentido ele ser assim". E mesmo lembrando de quase tudo da trama, ainda me emocionei um pouquinho com o final.

Absolutely phenomenal game. Fun gameplay concept, absolutely lovable characters, superb aesthetic, emotional story. I can't recommend it enough.
