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.
